How To Get Android KitKat Immersive Full-Screen Mode On Any Device

Android KitKat 4.4, introduced by Google late on last year, brought with it an abundance of useful features, but due to the fragmented nature of the ecosystem, not everybody on Android has been able to enjoy its numerous perks. In fact, only a very small fraction of the Droid-wielding faithful have tasted the chocolatey, delicious new flavor, but thanks to the dedication of a wider community, those on older firmware needn’t miss out on all of the new features. The Immersive Mode, for example, turns the process of using any one of you favorite apps into a full-screen experience, and now, thanks to a third-party app, you don’t need to be on KitKat 4.4 to take advantage.

Thanks to the endeavors of developer Pieter Pareit, Immersive Mode is no longer reserved only to those on Android 4.4 KitKat. Upon installation of his Play Store utility, you’ll be able to view apps without having to see on-screen buttons or the status bar. Not only does this provide more real estate for the content at hand, but it minimizes distractions, and also, presents a generally cleaner aesthetic with less unnecessary clutter.



Costing a very reasonable $1.37 on the Google Play Store (£0.82 for folks in the UK), the self-explanatory Immersive Full-Screen Mode will take full advantage of your device’s display real estate, and one of the most impressive aspects is that it doesn’t require root. There’s nothing wrong with acquiring root access, of course, since it opens up a world of unlimited possibilities and is something we actively encourage here at Redmond Pie, but it’s always nice when apps function with minimal hacking involved.

But while the fact that it works without root is certainly noteworthy, there are one or two limitations. Thanks largely to Android’s own security measures, you won’t be able to use your device’s keyboard in a number of apps when in Immersive Mode, so obviously, it’s only going to be useful in situations where a keyboard isn’t necessary.

It’s a bit of a shame that the keyboard is hindered in this manner, and takes some of the sheen off what is otherwise a polished experience. Still, if you can see some value in a full-screen option that caters to most apps, be sure to check the link below.

Samsung S5 Release Date , Full Specification. & Review

The Samsung Galaxy S4 just left the production line before we started hearing about its inevitable successor. A few months later , and persistent noise emanating from the S5 Galaxy rumor mill is hard to ignore . If you are wondering what the next flagship smartphone from Samsung could have in store , then you're in the right place. Here are the most notable rumors Galaxy S5 so far.

The annual release schedule of the flagship smartphone has become fairly standard in recent years . The Galaxy S2 was released in February and released in May 2011. The Galaxy S3 was revealed and released in May 2012. The Galaxy S4 shown off in March and released in April 2013. We hope to catch a first glimpse of the Galaxy S5 around March 2014 , with the likely release it about a month later.

It is possible that Samsung will try to push forward after disappointing sales S4. There has been talk of a release of January and some evidence that the S5 will be revealed at MWC in February, but this is pure speculation at this point , and we'll be surprised if the manufacturer of South Korea is much deviates from its schedule launches usual.

This comes in the metal

The idea that Samsung could break with tradition and produce a badge with a metal body instead of plastic first appeared back in June . It was a vague idea to begin with, but in August the metal chassis S5 rumor has some meat on her bones when the news site ET News Korea suggested magnesium and aluminum materials as possible .
The review of the Galaxy range has long focused on what some perceive as a " cheap plastic feeling " and many other flagship smartphones in the same price range have chosen aluminum designs . If Samsung decides to switch to metal probably mean a heavier , more expensive device , and could mean the end of the removable battery .
It is worth noting that this new metal could be the Samsung Galaxy M mysterious , a stopgap on the calendar flagship that can land a couple of months before the S5 . A report in GalaxyS5Info suggests just that, and also recognizes that the polycarbonate Faux Leather Note 3 could make an appearance in S5 .
There is also a possibility that the S5 carbon fiber can be used in its construction. Android Beat reported an association between Samsung Petrochemical and SGL Group ( one of the largest producers of carbon fiber in the world). It is an extremely lightweight and strong material, so that it could be ideal.

New Design

Even if the Galaxy S5 does not end his love affair with plastic that does not mean it will look different from its predecessors. The Galaxy S line has stuck to a certain aesthetic design , the S3 and S4 are particularly alike, but if the patent that the patent appeared Bolt is anything to go by , then the S5 could ditch the home button and adopt a new angularly factor .
64-bit processor , like the iPhone 5S
Not long after the iPhone 5S moving head revealed Samsung , JK Shin told the Korea Times, " our upcoming smartphones have the processing functionality of 64 bits. " It's a safe bet that the Samsung Galaxy S5 want to meet or exceed the iPhone 5S in terms of performance and so it is likely to have a 64-bit chip .
According to online newspaper in Korea, the S5 could wear a 6 Exynos processor, a new 14nm chip with 64-bit support and octa configuration - core ARM Cortex Big.Little A53/A57 . Whatever the details, we can safely assume Samsung will be gunning for the top spot in the performance benchmarks .
Hopefully at least 3 GB of RAM to support it, but Samsung is already producing mobile DRAM 4GB LPDDR3 , so it's always a possibility.

Eye safety scanning ?

According AndroidSAS the Galaxy S5 could be above the fingerprint scanner on the iPhone 5S and take the lead in security with biometric eye scan sensor . The idea is that the S5 owners will scan your eyes in order to unlock their smartphones. This means offering a higher level of security, but the sources are unnamed and there is nothing to substantiate the rumor. We will be sure to keep an eye on this one.




No fingerprint scanner

We have seen a report from the Korea Herald on a Samsung official is quoted as saying " We have never officially admitted that Samsung was weighing system fingerprints and Knox to note 3 for the security functions . , We are not developing yet technology . "
Still, this is Samsung we're talking about . We would not be surprised to see a fingerprint sensor of some kind. Samsung knows how to move fast on new technology. Of course , if the eye examination rumor has some truth to it and then fingerprints are out the window.

Multi - person videoconferencing , using both cameras


Conference Call Patenta Samsung patent discovered by GalaxyClub.nl hints that Samsung may be updating its ChatON messaging service to include several conference calls people . The property, which includes the screenshot you see here , indicates that the software can allow both front and rear cameras video along with multiple visible flows along the bottom of the screen. Sounds a bit like conference system itself Google phone available through Hangouts , which can support ten different foods at the same time. If the software that came with the Galaxy S5 , can come either as part of Chaton , or a new feature TouchWiz .

Galaxy S5 could run Tizen OS

Samsung has not given up his own Tizen OS. The International Business Times recognizes the company may launch a version of the Galaxy S5 Tizen . Was it Samsung will release two different versions of the S5 , one with and one with Tizen Android 4.4 KitKat ? It seems unlikely , and we do not think Samsung is ready to ditch Android for its own platform yet. Perhaps the version of Tizen may be limited to specific markets, if it exists . We'll have to wait and see.

A 16 megapixel camera

There were early suggestions that the Galaxy would S5 sports a 13 megapixel camera , possibly with optical image stabilization , but now we are hearing different. ET News predicts that Samsung will opt for a 16 megapixel sensor that is capable of making better low light performance than the competition.
The new sensor will be produced in house and will feature technology Samsung ISOCELL that " substantially increased sensitivity to light and effectively controls the absorption of electrons , resulting in greater color fidelity , even in low light conditions . "


Waterproof comes standard

Smartphones are getting tougher . At the beginning of this new cycle flagship Xperia Z caused a sensation with his credentials waterproof and dustproof . Samsung launched the Galaxy S4 active as a water- resistant variant of its flagship, but ET News thinks the Galaxy S5 can take things a step further and be resistant to water and dust out of the box . According to the report , " industry sources ," says the S5 Galaxy will meet the same standards as the active S4, which will bring in line with some of the other major smartphone Android.

That's it for the roundup rumor Samsung Galaxy S5 , but come back soon because we will update this article with new rumors as they arise .

Google outs two new Nexus 7 2013 ads , reminds the tablet still exists [ VIDEO ]

Google has launched two new ads hit the Internet , but they are not what one would expect given that the company has a brand new smartphone in stores now , the new Android 4.4 Nexus wearing 5 .

Instead of pushing his newly released smartphone Nexus 5 ads , Google has decided to give the air to contact the Nexus 7 its line of tablets is the star of the show in two new ads that focus on only two of different using the device.

The two ads , titled " In Game " and " Center Stage " , both managed by only 31 seconds , but do exactly what they plan to do - to remind that , although all the iPad mini refresh is just around the corner , and there is a pretty nice 7 inch tablet on the market that people can get their teeth. Not a bad choice at all or even with the fancy Retina display New iPad mini and A7 chip considered .

The reasons for advertising the Nexus 7 before 5 g Nexus , we think the idea that Google is aware of the competition from the iPad mini is as good as any. Lack of Nexus 5 will not be can also be a good reason to spend any money on advertising something that can not do enough available - not that you can sell through increased exposure , if you do not have to sell more, right?

Whatever the reason for the renewed advertising push Google Nexus 7 should not be rejected because Apple has redefined the small field mini iPad tablet with Android renewed unless simply just not for you . Google ads may somehow try to be changing his mind . And also , the Nexus 7 offers great value for money to those who ask , and is something we can not rule out either when under many cases , taking into account what the Play Store to offer when it is compared directly with iTunes Store.

We have two ads for viewing recorded , so look for yourself .







After seeing the ad, guess what, you still keep Mini iPad as a viable option in the new Nexus 7? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section

Google is still unannounced Nexus 5 has its fair share of leaks seen in recent times , with videos , photos and general ramblings filling the Internet in the last week or two .

Away the only ad hardware Android 4.4 KitKat obviously have some time stage , however, so at least to look forward, even if you are looking for a new smartphone .
