Google Launches Android M Late May

Google Launches Android M Late May

Google will introduce a new version of Android called Android M in late may at its I/O event. It's not mentioned what new features the OS will get but Google does hint about Voice Access.

Google temporary uses the name Android M.  The company hasn't officially come out and confirmed this directly, but a session description that briefly appeared as part of the I/O schedule made specific mention of "Android M." (The session in question has now been removed from Google's I/O website.) When it was announced in 2014, Android 5.0 was first known as "Android L" before Google revealed its final "Lollipop" name months later.

According to the Verge sadly the I/O session descriptions don't offer too many details on what to expect; the "Android at Work" session only says Android M "brings power of Android to all kinds of workplaces." Google has already started putting Android everywhere it can; it's on phones, tablets, in cars, powering TVs, and even running on Chrome OS. Now it sounds like there'll be a greater focus on making Android a force in the enterprise — and Google obviously needs developers to play a role in that.

nother session focused on "interruptions" hints that the company has been working to refine the new approach to notifications that came alongside Lollipop. Yet another session mentions something called "Voice Access" and suggests Google wants to let users control every feature of Android apps (and the device they're running on using only their voice. This would expand beyond the "OK Google" commands that are possible now. Google describes Voice Access as such:

Mobile hardware has adopted the touch screen as the primary mode of input. And with 1 billion active Android users, there’s no sign of this slowing down. What if you could provide users with a new method of access to your apps with little to no development overhead? In this talk, we introduce Voice Access, a service that gives anyone access to their Android device through voice alone. We will focus on simple steps developers can follow to ensure that Voice Access provides an optimal experience within their apps.

What might these changes look like? We'll know in only a few short weeks. Google's I/O keynote led by Sundar Pichai kicks off May 28th at 12:30PM.

True, I agree completely with morbias. If there were no devs on XDA etc we would be doomed. For me it feels like 5.X was meant as a major test for ART 1.0, it wasn't yet fully implemented ;) Curious what "M" will offer.


THANKS GOD FOR XDA. phew it had to be said loud, when i had Galaxy S3 the device was so SLOW with stock touchwiz, thanks to them i use clean android 4.4.4 and i felt like i got a new phone.

now i'm using CloudyG3 on mine G3, tbh LG stock rom is nice.

The new versions of android are not relevant to most, since they not getting the update, whetever it takes years or just stops.

Google need to make updating UNIFIED, we the users most choose wherever to update or not, not the opposite.
To unify it they must close a lot of the OS, which will not go well with OEMs :/

so accelerate the process, the far end Android versions are not common.

It is wise idea to spread it across as many devices as possible, google can help at least major manufactures to accelerate it, if that won't happen it does not matter what google announce, few people gonna get it on time, if any.
