  • Leaked Android 4.2 build has a second pull down panel for quick settings

    Android fan site AndroidPolice that recently leaked the unreleased Gmail 4.2 app is back with another leak. Now they claim to have a full build of Android 4.2 which according to them is the entire system dump of LG Nexus phone. The build appears to be still in testing stages and has most apps tagged with version 4.2 just like the Gmail app. This particular build of Android 4.2 identifies itself as JellyBeanMR1 instead of JellyBeanMR0 like Android 4.1.2. The build according to AndroidPolice is very different and isn’t working on current devices yet.

    More importantly the new build has some interesting bits of changes that are going to be the new features of Android 4.2 on release. One such feature that has been uncovered in this report is the second pull down quick settings panel for Android devices. What this second panel will do is, it will show the toggles for Wi-Fi, bluetooth, brightness and other settings.

    Once user has pulled down the notification menu and it is visible on screen, the user can perform the pull down gesture again to reveal the quick settings menu. The second quick settings menu is quite similar to what we already have on TouchWiz but the double pull gesture makes it unique and better in my opinion. Check out the video below to get an idea of how this second menu will work in Android 4.2.

    So far, it looks pretty useful.

The tablet went on receive rave reviews and sell relatively good thanks to its low price and performance. Now according to latest rumors Google is planning on releasing a $99 version of the Nexus 7 tablet.

    The Nexus 7 hit stores with a 7-inch HD IPS display, a Quad Core NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor and was the first device to run Android 4.1 Jelly Bean out of the box.

    The smaller form factor tablets like the Kindle Fire and Nexus 7 have proved to be huge competition for Apple and its iPad tablet, the Cupertino based company is also expected to launch a 7.85-inch iPad Mini later this year but looks like Google is fully prepared for it.

    The whole acquisition is gonna take place by the end of this year or in the starting months of 2012. Motorola being on the top three Android OEM partners this could have proved very bad news for the other partners but Google has ensured us all that Android will still stay as an open platform and they will run Motorola as a separate business.

    Google claims the that the main motivation behind this acquisition is to get a hold of Motorola’s massive collection of patent which goes back more than 80 years. Lary Page, CEO of Google had the following to say:

    acquisition of Motorola will increase competition by strengthening Google’s patent portfolio, which will enable [Google] to better protect Android from anti-competitive threats from Microsoft, Apple and other companies.

    So what will this deal lead to? A Motorola Nexus device? The end of NinjaBlue/Blue/MotoBlur or will Motorola do the same as it has been doing for all these years? Only time will tell. Let us know in the comments what you think. Press Release is below:
