Android TV's App Selection Will Expand Soon With HBO Go, Twitch, FX Now, VUDU, WWE, And More

Even with a major infusion of horsepower with devices like the NVIDIA SHIELD and Razer Forge TV, the biggest thing holding back the Android TV platform is a scarcity of apps compared to more mature alternatives like Roku. It looks like Google is quickly trying to close the gap: in addition to the announcement of HBO Now (currently exclusive to Apple hardware) at Google I/O, a handful of high-profile and formerly unavailable apps are also making their way to Android TV in the near future.

Google Photos 1.0 APK

The much awaited Google Photos app for Android phone and tablet is now available in Play Store. The main advantage of Google Photo is home for all your photos and videos. Not just storing but also sharing, locating and searching photos has been simplified to an amazing extent. Skip to the bottom of this article for a download link to the new Google Photos APK.

Google Photos has a great interface with some very smart auto organisation tools that organizes all photos and videos in one place. You can sort by people, day, month, year, place, etc. at the same time. Searching photos by what's in them is so good to save you lots of time and pinch to zoom out on the time line is fantastic.

Here's a quick look at the features of Google Photos:
• VISUAL SEARCH: Your photos are now searchable by the people, places and things that appear in your photos. Looking for that fish taco you ate in Hawaii? Just search "Hawaii" or "food" to find it even if it doesn't have a description. Note: Face grouping is not available in all countries.
• EDITING: Transform photos with the tap of a finger. Use simple, yet powerful, photo and video editing tools to apply filters, adjust colors, and more.
• AUTO BACKUP: Keep all your photos and videos safe and accessible from any device. Choose free, unlimited cloud storage available at high quality, or store up to 15GB original size for free (shared across your Google account).
• BRING PHOTOS TO LIFE: Automatically create montage movies, interactive stories, collages, animations, and more.
• SAVE SPACE ON YOUR DEVICE: Google Photos can help you clear safely backed up photos and videos from your device so you never have to worry about deleting a photo to make space.
• SHARING: Share hundreds of photos instantly with shareable links and use whichever apps you'd like to share.

Google Photos is available for free on the Play Store. You can download Google Photos APK version 1.0 from the source link below.

Requires Android: 4.0+

While the hotword still worked from the Google Now Launcher and other third party launchers with such functionality hacked in, most S6 and S6 Edge owners were unable to to use the "from any screen" functionality because the option simply disappeared.

The Updated Google Now Launcher In Android M Has Horizontally Scrollable Folders

The folders in Google's stock Google Now Launcher are currently restricted to just 16 entries (four rows of four). That's going to change very soon. The version of GNL that ships with the Android M preview has folders that automatically paginate when you add more than 16 apps. How many pages can you have? I'm not sure as I have yet to hit the limit.

The folders look the same as before when you've got a single page of apps, but as soon as you bump it over to the second page, the folder name shifts to the left and a page indicator appears in the lower right.

[APK Download] The Clock App From Android M Allows Users To Start Their Week On Saturday, Sunday, Or Monday

The new APK for the clock app from the Android M Developer Preview doesn't look very different from the one you'll find in Lollipop - most of the functions (alarms, world clock, timer, and countdown) are in the same place and operated in the same way. But there's one tiny change that a small amount of users will be extremely happy to see. The Clock app can now "start" your week on Saturday, Sunday, or Monday.

This Is What Multi Window Looks Like On Android M

Of the many interesting features of the Android M Developer preview, one that wasn't talked about at all was Multi Window.

Apparently the feature is only available if you have rooted Android M and edited the build.prop file which is something Android looks at upon boot. Once the feature is enabled though, that's where the fun starts. Multi Window on Android M is different than it is on Samsung devices but at least it's going to be available in stock Android now.

Of course Multi Window needs more work and I'm hopeful that it would at least appear in Developer Options in the 2nd preview release coming in late June/early July and be available for everyone in the final build.

Google ATAP’s Project Jacquard creating interactive textiles

Google ATAP is constantly announcing cool new projects for the future, and the latest is Project Jacquard. It's not just some new high tech device though, but instead a push for creating interactive textiles. The new Jacquard yarn looks and feels like normal yarn, but is made out of conductive threads.

This yarn can be woven into any fabric, both visibly and invisibly, and used as an interactive touch pad. You'll be able to control devices by touching a patch on your clothes, which is an awesome idea. Swiping your sleeve or pants pocket could activate your phone.

The only issue is the other stuff other than the yarn, like chips and batteries, that accompany the yarn. This has to be miniaturized to fit in clothes without being felt, which is currently not possible. That's where Project Jacquard comes in. Google has partnered with textile producers and designers to work on bringing this technology to the market.

We may not see it for a while, but it's exciting to think our clothes could be interactive sometime soon. Watch the video below for more information and tell us what you think!

Google ATAP shows off Project Vault, a microSD card that gives you a security boost

Today was Google ATAP's day to shine at Google I/O, and it took the opportunity to announce a new security-focused product.

Project Vault is the latest effort from Google ATAP, and it's basically a little secure computer on a microSD card. Yep, that regular ol' microSD card holds an ARM processor, NFC, an antenna, and 4GB of storage set aside for secure content. The card is running some custom software called the Real Time Operating System. And what makes the Project Vault card even more interesting is that it can be inserted into any phone, tablet, or computer, and those devices will just see it as a regular microSD card.

So what kind of applications does Project Vault have? Google demoed at couple to the I/O crowd. The first was an encrypted chat that can be used between two Project Vault users. The chats are secured and sent using Vault's encrypted channel, so the phone or whatever you've got your SD card in never has a chance to view the data being sent.

The second demo shows how Project Vault can be used to eliminate passwords from your life but keep your logins and data secure. Project Vault can learn your usage and habits, like your typing patterns, and determine when you're using the phone and when you're not. If Project Vault knows that it's you using the device, it can automatically log you into services. But if it detects patterns that aren't your own, it can know that it's not you using the phone. Google says that this method of security is 10 times more secure than a regular password.

Project Vault is still in early days, and so it's not clear when it might be ready for consumer use. Anyone interested in tinkering with the development kit for Project Vault can do so right now by checking out github.

So far, Project Vault looks pretty awesome. While there are already all kinds of methods of keeping your logins and data secure, ranging from writing down stuff on a stick note to password management software, Project Vault seems a bit more advanced. Not only can it easily be used in all kinds of different devices, but it saves you the trouble of having to enter logins or remember a master password, and it can easily keep others from accessing your logins with little effort from you.

What's your preferred method of managing passwords?
