Genymotion, run Android apps on Windows or OS X computer easily

 ​
Previously I've ever introduced you to the application to run BlueStacks Android apps on Windows or OS X computer, however the downside of this software is that we can not gain access to the app store Google Play full , did not have a full Android environment as on the smartphone or tablet. To solve this problem, then today I invite you to try Genymotion , software for creating virtual machine for Android on PC can comfortably install app from Google Play and fiddling. We also allow access to the other system components, such as the homescreen, settings, notification bar ... same as on mobile devices, and completely free. Genymotion substance use VirtualBox to create a virtual machine, however it will help us be more simple setup steps. Genymotion is written primarily for programmers to test their software before putting Google Play, but we can totally use it for normal app needs to run well. Genymotion To use, first of all the you need to download the following tools:

• The latest Android SDK . Once downloaded, you install it you will have a folder named "Android-sdk-xxx", remember its path offline. With the Mac you spend with Linux is no need to install, just unzip to a folder like above. If still confused invites you to check out the tutorial on the Android SDK .


• Submitting the latest VirtualBox virtual machine , select the appropriate operating system you're using. Download the installation is complete, install the VirtualBox software as normal and run up once.


• Download Genymotion , also suitable for the operating system on your computer. Download the installation is complete, the machine is always on. While waiting for download, pleaseregister yourself a free account Genymotion here . Remember to check email after registration to activate your account.

When you have finished downloading and installing Genymotion, run this app up. We will go through a set of steps as follows: 1. Log on using an account Genymotion application you just registered above.

 ​

2. You will be asked to select the device emulator virtual Android environment. There are many virtual machines, such as the One, Xperia Z, Samsung Galaxy Nexus S4 until the machines, there are also some tablet here anymore. Pick any machine you like, and then click the Add button and continue the Next button. Wait for the virtual machine download, it may be slightly longer than two hundred MB to a fraud. Should select the virtual machine have the "with Google Apps" available to the warehouse Google Play.

 ​

3. After the download is complete, double-click on your virtual machine usability. A message box will appear, in the dialog "Path to Android SDK", point your path to the Android SDK folder that you just downloaded above. Note the cursor to the right into the sdk folder inside another word okay, as long as the words "from the Android Developer Tools SUCCESSFULLY ABD is found to be". Click OK to finish.

 ​

4. Return to the main interface of Genymotion, click the virtual machine you want to run. Wait a moment that will appear on the machine as shown below. Then you can use the mouse to interact with the virtual Android machine, login Google accounts, settings screen, app downloading, playing app, go to settings ... 5. Enjoy it. I wish you success. Do not forget that you can add a virtual host emulator button on the side of the screen jog. There are buttons to access the webcam location data again.

The unfortunate misunderstanding on Android smartphones

Whatever is the mobile operating system world number 1 with over 80% market share but in the eyes of many Android users a platform with many defects even though "robot" has gone through a very long process to self improve themselves. Currently, there exists a large amount of harmful misunderstandings about this operating system makes it lose points rather than iOS or Windows Phone.

1. Complex and difficult to use

Customization of Android which is a strong point compared to the competition but is capped to be the cause of many misunderstandings from Android users for that hard to use. That may be because the producers tried to cram too many features into their smartphones, making new ones is somewhat confusing to use. But from Android 4.0 onwards, this operating system has become more intuitive and easier to use a lot with a lot of interface improvements. If using a smartphone
or HTC Nexus One and Galaxy S4 Google Edition, you can easily recognize this even in smartphones, manufacturers are also constantly improving the interface so friendly with people users.



2. Need task killer Android applications

Controversy about Android applications needed to destroy multitasking (also called task killer) or not less than five and fell back on Play Store still appear pretty much like this app. But perhaps we need to look at the actual experience rather than mere controversy. Some Android users have tried to turn off the application to cancel the job and found that its smartphone stable operation and less expensive than batteries, shaking the app has not happened. Because of
this, if you are using the "task killer", then you should think again and change habits.



Many people use these applications have the ability to manage background tasks on Android smartphones to run applications off unnecessary background to preserve battery life poorly.However, a number of Android background task to the most commonly used. When we played them off the operating system to turn them on again when needed. This inadvertently causes loss of energy in useless when users kept off the background task and the operating system automatically starts
to run these tasks.

3. Android malware susceptible

According to the report on the security of the Android mobile platform is "shelved" for the security of the ease when delving into the features of this OS. However, with a normal user know a bit about "fiddling bar" Android is still safe enough concerns about personal information leaking. If not, simply limiting the application settings they feel weird to avoid suspicion disabilities brought about after losing money. Just like that, you can completely dispel
concerns about the security on your Android phone.



4. Android is the same on every smartphone

This is completely wrong for those who have never used Android. In fact, Google allows manufacturers to customize the user interface on their Android core that best suits the smartphone features on each of them. This situation can cause users to feel confused during use but create unique richness of the most powerful mobile platform in the world.



In addition, Android also gives users a lot of options in the phone different price range to meet the access needs of people with smartphones have tight budget. That's not even counting the time until Android 4.4 is popular Android users low-level segment will get more new experiences. And if you can not run heavy 3D games due to hardware limitations, they can also be proud that you are running version of the operating system with the latest improvements
to smooth and reduce the unpleasant shocks lag attacks. It is considered as one of the important improvements to help solve Android fragmentation has occurred.

5. Android or lag, jerky

After many versions, if someone now says Android still lag and jerky then it must be the only user of the previous version of Android 4.0. Since Google Android 4.1 onwards has almost overcome one of the problems is the inherent lag, with the additional shock of Project Butter. Thanks to Project Butter, devices running Android 4.1 are enhanced smoothness right in the slide-out interactive home screen as well as in applications. Later, Android 4.4 KitKat continues to elevate the Project
Butter with direct successor by Project Svelte with many upgrades to improve the situation radically lag, startled.



Accordingly, Google's Android has spun off a program called Google Experience, so that the two parts will become lighter during the operation. Android's memory load was reduced by eliminating background services are not really important. Even the popular Google apps like YouTube and Chrome has also been optimized similarly, but they occupy less RAM than the smoother operation.In addition, the system will automatically detect intervention whenever an application is consuming
too much RAM on wasteful purposes. Last, but not least, Android will launch multiple applications running in the background at different times to help the RAM is not overloaded when multiple applications are turned on simultaneously, thus contributing to improving general stability for the entire smartphone or tablet user.

Structures

What is there is no one perfect, each platform has its strengths and its own weaknesses, Android as well. This platform can not yet be satisfied in this clause but you know with others, Android is the number one. These are just some of the wrong views that Android lost points in the eyes of users and readers can add to this list in the comment section below the article.

Android 4.4: important turning point run smoother and increase smartphone battery life

Throughout history, rapid growth and prolong choppy 5 years, compared with operating system version first, almost every aspect or feature of Android 4.4 has been changed. Every time Google releases a new version of Android, which are updated or upgraded fairly comprehensive, but everything except the most important: Dalvik. Accordingly, the virtual machine is responsible for running most Android apps remain like this since the first day. And to this point, Dalvik has revealed signs of age, slowness is visible. To keep pace and meet the demand for higher levels of users, Google has decided to use ART (short for Android Runtime) on the Android operating system version 4.4 to replace Dalvik KitKat. ART first version integrates with Android 4.4 can accelerate applications by 100%, while the complete version will be even better.



When you run the software on electronic devices, such as PC or smartphone, almost always your machine to run the compiler "compiled code". The compiler is responsible for shifting the source code written in a high level language into object code or machine language which can be executed directly by a computer or by a virtual machine. For example, if you open an EXE file, you will see the compiler "gobbledegook" help CPU can perform load cycle to start the application. Windows, web browser, Crysis 3, Linux, iOS apps are all examples that use the compiler.

Next, we are a different kind of code interpreter called "interpreted code" with many different types, but have one thing in common is that they can not be done directly by the CPU load. First, the interpreter must be decoded into machine code by a process called translation system JIT (Just-in-time). For example, the most popular of the JavaScript interpreter, according to which, the web browser will compile / interpreter code when a user visits a web page using JavaScript.

In addition, a typical example of the Java and Dalvik interpreter is essentially a "Google version" of Java. With Java, developers can write applications once only, and then convert it into the language of the hardware platform through an "interpreter" named Java Virtual Machine.Explains a lot, but we can generally shortened to the point that Google has decided to use the Dalvik virtual machine for Android app. This way, a developer can write a single application Dalvik and be assured that it will run on smartphones, tablets, TVs or other devices.


The chart shows the performance of JavaScript (red / green) than when compiling the source code (orange).

But now, the shortcomings of the interpreter "interpreted code" is it really slow. For example, JavaScript can be up to 20 times slower than the same code compiled with C or C + +. Java / Dalvik is not too slow, but can not compare with the speed of the original compiler. In many cases, especially with the processor's advanced 4, the speed difference is very clear. We can not be blamed entirely for the cause Dalvik Android devices lag or battery power, but this is certainly an important factor causing this. Basically, the Dalvik interpreter takes longer to decode and to calculate more CPU, so it directly reduces the battery life and smoother overall mobile device.

Android Runtime - ART

While using session Dalvik JIT (Just-in-time) to decode, ART on Android 4.4 using process AOT (Ahead-Of-Time). First visible effect of shortening the time it is decoded meaning shorten boot time, help applications launch time 2 times faster than the old Dalvik process. By activating ART, each Android application will be compiled into native code when you install it. Then, when you launch the application, it will act as a root application installed on your computer.



Currently, ART is still in the experimental stage, but you can still activate it on the machine running KitKat Nexus by going to Settings> Developer options> Select runtime, then just wait for the machine to reboot. This change also accounts for part of the machine capacity (increased about 10% to 20%) because your code is still being finalized. Maybe you will not notice the change of AOT for small applications, but for larger applications, the delay will be remedied. In addition, the main advantages of ART is to allow Android developers continue to write code and run on multiple handsets with different hardware configurations.



ART has been tested and Vietnam expressed its advantages: increased battery life, smoother handling and speed up application open. Once ART is fully developed, the current Android OS can be "disappeared", but instead is a new operating system faster, more powerful and more Vietnamese priority. Benefits are more easily seen when you run compute-intensive applications such as photo editing or video editing. At the same time we can hope for a smooth run Android as what iOS or Windows Phone has done.
