2015-07-14
this episode of TechnoBuffalo is brought to you by domain.com hey what's going on guys a mark in Sangin from TechnoBuffalo and in today's video we'll be taking a look at the latest developer preview for Android M we've been playing with a new developer preview since last week so let's go ahead and see what's new one the new app drawer is no longer broken up by letters which was introduced in a previous Developer Preview however it's still in a vertical list and it now has a fast scroll bar to quickly navigate through your apps the widget picker also received the same treatment and now features the same fast scroll bar as the app drawer the other big change to Google's own launcher is inside a launcher settings you now have an option to rotate your launcher to use your phone in landscape mode which some Nexus 6 users may find very useful in the second developer preview for Android and we found out that you can now enable or disable icons in a status bar by heading over to this system UI tuner for example if the only thing you want on your status bar is your battery clock and alarm you'll be able to choose just those icons who would have ever thought that this feature would finally come to bare bone stock Android another addition to the second Developer Preview is the ability to display your batteries remaining percentage inside the battery bar it's very very handy and something that I truly loved one thing we immediately notice inside the Settings app is that the dark mode which we first showed you in the first developer preview is now gone that was actually one thing that got me excited in the first developer preview but hopefully it's not gone forever this is just a second Developer Preview so let's see if that option will make a comeback moving on the dedicated memory section of the settings menu has been given a notable redesign in version 2 the biggest change here is a new overview screen that now shows a total memory in either megabytes or gigabytes instead of breaking it down to specific apps the individual app view is still present in this version and it's been tweaked as well showing full readouts and megabytes so you know which app is eating most of your RAM and previous versions of Android when taking a screenshot you were only able to share that image in nothing more and this version of Android M however you now have the option to delete that screenshot right away which can be very handy in my opinion let me stop the video real fast and thank our friends over at domain.com it's the place to go when the next great idea hits you it's a one-stop shopping for all your domain names and web hosting email needs domain wants to hook our fans up with a pretty cool offer save twenty percent on domain games and web hosting if you use a coupon code technobuffalo it's all one wording caps at domain.com to check out and that's about it if there's anything new in future developer previews for android and we'll be sure to keep you guys in the loop over at TechnoBuffalo calm and if you guys enjoy this video make sure to give it a thumbs up and we will see you guys in the next one also thank you guys for 1 million subscribers you guys are awesome
