Incoming Android 4 4 3 with HTC Sense 6 1 for the HTC One M8

HTC has been working hard to keep the HTC One M8 at the cutting edge. These days, one of the crucial strategy element in the war between smartphones companies is to keep their top devices bundled with the latest Android OS.

Android 4.4.3 was released a short while ago but HTC has already merged the newest 4.4.3 source code with their Sense UI framework. The incoming update will probably bring improved HTC Sense version, however the current practice shows that HTC doesnt like to bump their Sense version to anything but .5 a or full number (Sense 5 ---> Sense 5.5 ---> Sense 6) so the official Sense version might remain 6.0 even if some parts of the code will mention HTC Sense 6.1. Also, the new official HTC BlinkFeed (com.htc.launcher) version 6.1.779245 is already available on the Google Play. So what are some the incoming changes?

• ro.build.id=KTU84L
• ro.build.version.release=4.4.3
• ro.com.google.gmsversion=4.4.3_r1
• HTC SDK API: 6.25 (current latest M8 software is based on SDK 6.17) ---> this might indicate improved HTC Sense version
• Improved camera drivers
• Gamepad buttons code
• HTC Files manager
• Improved audio drivers
• Android fstab for enabling zRAM on 2GB device
• Improved thermal configuration

There are also some changes in the code that indicates the possibility to answer the phone with the power button or support for "notification_flash_led_8color" which means that HTC One M8 led might blink in 8 different colours or it could be reserved for the HTC Desire series only.

Of course there are A LOT of more changes under the hood but not all are possible to understand without looking at the source code. So, apart from the Android 4.4.3 improvements there are plenty of other changes. If you are looking forward the newest HTC software updates please visit my Android Revolution HD thread on XDA-developers and grab the most popular custom ROM for HTC devices :)

We really love you HTC for the quick updates!

Coffee with a Googler Learn about Google Voice Actions

Posted by Laurence Moroney, Developer Advocate

Google Voice Actions let your users quickly complete tasks in your app using voice commands. It’s a great way to drive usage of your app, and now users’ voice action requests can lead directly from Search to your Android app. In this episode of Coffee With a Googler, Laurence meets with Sunil Vemuri, product manager of Google Voice Actions.

Sunil tells us about how the speech field has progressed, and how the quality of algorithms for detecting speech have drastically improved in a short space of time. In 2013, the average error rate for speech detection was 23 percent -- almost a quarter of all words weren’t recognized. By 2015, at Google I/O, we announced that the rate was down to 8 percent, and it continues to get better.

The episode will also share how developers can get started with building for voice actions using System Actions, where the voice action can be routed from Google Search directly to your app by declaring an intent to capture that action. If you need voice actions that aren’t in the system, you can also set Custom Actions. A developer can tell Google the phrases that they’d like to have triggered (e.g. ‘Ok Google, Turn on the Lights on MyApp’) and the Google app can then fire off the Intent that you specify. In addition, you can build Voice Interactions where your app can ask the user follow-up questions before performing an action. For example, when the user asks to play some music, the app could ask for the genre.

You can learn more about Voice Actions, how they work, and how to get started at the Google Developers site for Voice Actions.

If you have any questions for Laurence or Sunil, please leave them in the comments below.

If there are any guests, technologies, or anything Google that you’d like us to chat about over Coffee, please also drop us a line!
