Android L is a very important project for the company Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Google itself advertises a new version of its operating system as “the biggest upgrade Android in history.” First developer version of the system was shown in June, people viewing the conference Google I / O.
Android L in the development version
The next release of Android appeared on the Nexus family of devices in a few days or weeks after the official presentation. This year, Google decided to change some release cycle and thus conformed to Apple. The software was presented in June. I immediately got access to it, developers and partners Google. Is therefore a chance that the device will get the update overlays faster than in the case of Android 4.4 KitKat.
Prime Android L is scheduled for autumn this year. A few months after the announcement of the IPO market is to give developers time to adapt their applications to the new appearance of the Material Design, which from now on is to characterize “pure Android” (ie, the type of vanilla software without overlays the manufacturer). This will allow them to use the time to get to know over 5,000 new APIs.
Android 4.5 or Android 5.0 Lion Lollipop
The new Google operating system for smartphones and tablets is called by the manufacturer of the Android L. Most likely, however, after its premiere He will be given another number and code name. It is not known what it will be. Android L can become Android 4.5, but more likely is an Android 5.0 taking into account the magnitude of change from Android 4.4 KitKat. The big unknown is also the code name of the new system.
From the beginning of the Android name alluded to the genre of sweetness and came from successive letters of the alphabet. In the case of Android 4.4 Google has established a partnership with Nestle and green robot took the name KitKat. It is not known whether the agreement between the companies also applies to the next version. Android L may as well take the name of the Lion of candy bar and Lollipop (ang. Lollipop). The creators of the system can also surprise us and choose something else.
What you need to know about Android L before installation?
New Google software will make its debut in the autumn, but not all users will be able to install Android on L immediately their devices. Priority is given to the owners of smartphones and tablets with the Nexus line. Distribution of these devices is Google itself, and prepare them different manufacturers under the watchful eye of the search giant.
In the case of Apple, where the manufacturer is responsible for the production of equipment and development of software it is possible to provide an update for all customers at the same time. Owners of devices with Android equipped with a copyright overlay on the system will have to be patient. Each producer must adapt their own additions to the new version of Android.
Not everyone will be able to install Android L
Since the update must be approved by Google, and if branded mobile network operator must carry out their own tests too, This process can take weeks or even months. In fact, no one yet knows which devices will get updates, and to be abandoned by the manufacturer. Some of the companies are already working, however, the new version of its overlays.
Practically, it is certain that Android L will sooner or later all released in the last 18 months the Nexus line of devices and smartphones with Google Play Edition line. You can also assume that the new system will also chart-topping on all smartphones and tablets known companies. Worse may be the case for fiscal devices and smartphones and tablets from the mid-priced.
Not in every case, the update will be indicated
Experienced users of mobile devices usually wait for an update with flushed face, but not in every case, upload the new version Android is justified, even if the manufacturer will provide such an opportunity. In the past, there have been situations where the upload of a new version of software for mobile device expressly exempted, have less available memory or other problems began to occur.
It is true that in the case of Android L system to run faster by KitKat on smartphones with the same technical specifications, but along the way may have many changes. It’s worth waiting a few days after the release of the update and see what about her other users express their opinions held by the user. Withdrawal of unwanted updates can be very problematic if not impossible.
Android users can now feel like the iPhone owners a year ago
In addition to the many changes “under the hood” Android L brings a lot to refresh the interface, not only in terms of utility, but also visually. Google decided to implement the so-called. Material Design and navigation elements applications were flattened and divided into layers. Users accustomed to the interface Holo introduced three years ago with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich may feel confused.
New Android promises to be interesting in terms of the visual, and the new layout options and elements looks thoughtful. As usual, however, when such changes will be fairly large group not entirely satisfied users who do not like change and do not need to relearn manual of your device. Such persons should as much as possible to read about the new version of the system, because so thorough reconstruction of Android as in the edition of L has not been since three years.

After the official release of Android L for your phone or tablet user should adequately prepare you for the update. We recommend the following steps:
- to recharge the battery in your device (if a power failure during an update, the device can be damaged lasted
- Backing up (there is always a small chance that the system update will erase the device’s private data, including, for example. photo)
- Connect to Wi-Fi or perform an update via computer and the included software from the manufacturer (package of updating the system have a size even hundreds of megabytes).
