Installing Android 6.0. Start backup. Automatic update android

Update 5.0 Lollipop brought many new and interesting features. Android OS received a single design and new development vector. The following update 6.0 Marshmallow is considered to be passing because it does not contain so large-scale changes. At the same time, the new version of the system includes some important additions that lacked in previous versions. To view the system, as an example, we take the Motorola Moto Maxx 2 smartphone (XT1565).

Interface

In Android 6.0, the Material Design concept has been preserved in full. Therefore, changes in the interface are only cosmetic.

Desktop

Personalized Google Now search service is called on the desktop from the leftmost screen. At the same time, such an innovation is viewed only in the Google launcher installed on the Nexus / Pixel C devices or downloaded separately from the Google Play app store.

Menu Applications

The location of the programs is made in the form of a mesh, with turning from above to the bottom, and not to the left of the right, as in Android Lollipop. The top is searching, and the first row is assigned to 4 frequently used applications. Next are the programs with the Russian alphabet, and then with English. Change order is impossible.

It is worth noting that the changes described above are only Google's launcher. In third-party shells and in different devices, such as in Moto Maxx 2, the turnover remains the same, and the search in the application menu is missing.

Lock screen

Visually lock screen remained the same. Available indication of text or personal information under the clock, such as the contact information of the owner. The text is set in the Security section, system system settings.

A quick start icon for calls, in the left corner from the bottom, replaced with personalized prompts. Apparently, Google counted this feature more importantly, quick access for a dialing of a phone number.

Notifications

The notification system received some improvements. Now in the rectangular area - cards, below the message text, buttons are displayed that allow you to perform basic steps without switching to an application or the appropriate section of the settings. For example: Install or postpone the update of the system, activate energy saving mode, etc.

Long finger hold on the card allows you to open an application to manage application notifications. Among the proposed options, there is: full blocking of notifications, in priority - show notifications in "Do not disturb" mode, and allow the display of notifications.

Three modes of showing notifications on the lock screen are also available: to show completely, hide personal information and disable the display.

Innovations

Application rights

When installing a program from Google Play or Unknown sources, a sign appears with a list of required rights (permissions) to function the application. What rights are actually used, and what are intended for the workers' goals of the developer, it is not known. And the user has only two choices: agree and provide the application full access or refuse to use the program.

In Android 6.0, the default permission is disabled by default. Now you need to confirm the rights necessary to start the application and basic functioning. The remaining permits are confirmed or rejected during operation. Moreover, the previously issued rights are disconnected in the Specific Application Settings section.

Regulation of the volume of alerts

In the previous versions of Android, only the level of incoming alerts changed the volume buttons. The volume of other sound signals was required to be specified separately in the settings section or directly in the application.

In the sixth version, the volume regulation is divided into three channels: incoming alerts, multimedia and alarm clock. Moreover, the volume changes automatically and applies only to the appropriate channel application. For example, in the player - changes affect only the volume of music or video, in the alarm closer on the alerts, and on the desktop or in the settings - the call volume.

To set the preferred volume, it is not necessary to go to the settings or the corresponding application. When you press the volume button, at the end of the slider there is a button with opening / hiding channels.

Mode "Do not disturb"

In Android Marshmallow, the list of features of the "Do not disturb" mode expanded. The mode of the mode is set from the "Fast Settings" panel. Immediately there is a transition to system settings where the rules are established and automatic mode switching is configured at a specified time. For example, disable notifications before bedtime - from 22 00 to 7 00, at the scheduled meeting from 11 00 to 11 45, etc.

Work with text

Android 6.0 has changed the mode of selection of text. When the boundary is moving to the right side, the whole word is distinguished. Then how to the left - in the prevail. Also, after selecting text, a context menu is automatically appearing with a choice of actions: copy text, cut, send, etc.

It is worth noting that the "Send" function, the Android Marshmallow is called Direct Share. This useful and functional way will share information with another user. At the same time, the development of a specific application is responsible for the implementation of this function.

SYSTEM TUNER UI.

Hidden settings menu that allows you to configure icons in the quick access panel. To display the item, you need to clamp the gear icon for a few seconds, in the expanded status bar. A similar operation will delete the item from the system settings menu.

Transferring application data to memory card

In Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the application transfer function has returned. If when installing a program or game, the location on the domestic drive is not enough, the system allows you to transfer data to an external drive. In this case, the content is stored in an encrypted form and a preliminary formatting of the memory card is required.

Backup Application Settings

Now application settings are saved in the cloud. This allows you to spend less time to set up a new device.

Settings

The system settings section remained the same. There were only new features hidden mainly in the submenu.

Screen

A selection of the font size appears where the comfort of the text height is set.

Applications

In earlier versions, the section contained data on established applications active - using RAM and disconnected. Now in the section There are detailed information of the installed applications: the amount of the used disk space, transmitted data allowed and notifications. Also about the amount of energy consumed, used and maximally consumed the amount of RAM.

Pressing the icon in the form of a gear, will open the optional installation section. Here are the default applications here, for example, if two players are installed and it is required that the files be opened in a particular player. Showing what applications allowed to influence system settings. Customizable battery savings. By default, all applications are the checkbox - "save".

Memory

The section shows the number of busy and free space. For a detailed view of the available information, it is enough to choose the category of interest - video, applications, etc. It is also shown the volume of cache applications, which is removed by touching the category.

There is still a built-in file conductor. The manager's capabilities are limited, but for primitive actions will come down.

Battery

In the "Battery Consumption" information, the current consumed energy consumption is shown: the screen, Wi-Fi or another application. The recommendations are also shown to extend battery life. For example, for the screen - setting a smaller brightness, and for Wi-Fi - turn off the module in sleep mode. Moreover, for convenience, the buttons are displayed to go to the appropriate item in the settings.

Safety

In Android 6.0, the fingerprint scanner is supported at the system level. It is also available to disable unlocking the device using a reliable device - smart clock or keychain, or in a safe place - at home, at work, etc.

There is protection with a sudden reset to factory settings. If the stranger becomes possesses the device and clears the data, to start the system, you will have to enter the data of the previous Google Account. Information about this is stored in the protected area of \u200b\u200bthe data to which it is difficult to get to and with a unlocked loader.

The conference for Google I / O 2015 developers held at the end of May, the announcement of the new version of Android, and the final version of the system was released for the first gadgets, including Nexus 9, Nexus 7, Nexus 6, Nexus 5, was released. as well as Media Center Nexus Player. In this material, we have prepared for you a description of all new Android 6.0 Marshmallow, a review of which will surely interest those who in the next six months plans to transition to a new operating system (of course, when updating official or custom firmware for the most popular hardware devices will be released).

Interface

The first change that becomes apparent immediately when the system is first loaded, is an updated phone loading animation, which involves an updated company logo from Mountain View.

As for the initial setup of the smartphone, everything remained the same as in.

Before we start acquaintance with the visual component, you need to clarify one nuance. The shell uses all the same application "Google Now", which was part of the interface model of previous versions of Android. A reasonable question may arise: why should I be updated to 6.0, if on my phone with an old system I have the same interface as on new products. As it happened earlier, in Marshmallow, all the innovations are hidden "under the hood", that is, not visible at first glance. In accuracy, this will be discussed in this material.

The first noticeable innovation is the unlock screen. It changed here the purpose of the keys (so, when pressing the left bottom icon, the "Google start" starts, when the "ring" was called in the previous version). Moreover, from now on, drag the icons right from the corner itself, which at first glance is not very convenient.

There were no changes to the desktop. The color microphone and the updated logo company developer appeared along with the updated Builder "Google Now". What is really worth noting - now you can delete applications directly from the desktop, before that it was possible to remove shortcuts.

Together with this feature, the "Google Start" application menu brought changing the scroll orientation. If in previous versions, the list could be left right, then a combination is now applied from top to bottom and vice versa. At the top of the screen, the search box is always displayed, below which four programs are located most often. The procedure for hosting programs is simple - at first there are applets beginning with the numbers, and then all the others in alphabetical order.

The search for applets works just lightning. This will probably have to do with users who use a large number of games and applications on the phone. From now on, carefully look for the necessary program, a leafing list, no longer have to. You can only set the initial letters, and after a couple of moments it is already working with the application.

Certain changes have affected the animation of startup, folding and transition between applications from task manager. All animations work very smoothly and smoothly.

Google Now ON TAP

The output of the Android 6.0 accompanied the new feature called "Google Now on Tap", providing the ability to search in a specific program. When holding down the home button down within a few seconds, the new mechanism will analyze the contents of the screen. You can search for data on an open web page, in the mail, messages, twitter, music player and other programs. It is worth noting that only the data in the active part of the display is subject to this analysis. The analysis procedure itself is incredibly quickly.

How it works? For example, we use such a search at the time when a musical composition is played in the smartphone player.

When you start the "Google Now on Tap", we get a song on the song in pictures, Google search, YouTube, and in addition to this information about the artist in social networks and Youtube. In general, it is quite convenient to work with this tool. The main minus is the inaccessibility of this feature if the Russian language as the main language is specified in the smartphone settings. Let's hope that multilingual support will appear in the nearest updates.

Permissions of applications

In the MarshMallow review, we will touch on the conceptual change in application permissions management. If earlier when installing the applet, the installer requested permissions to access the calendar, SMS, contacts, multimedia files and other objects, now the installation is going smoothly and without any questions. Now the requests for individual permissions appear when the user is already working with a corresponding applet, and at a certain point in time, the requirement for access to the file, photographs, microphone, GPS coordinates, etc., that is, if earlier you had to take all the conditions with a squash at Installation of the program, now all this happens gradually and measured.

Management of storage and external carriers

The main setting table appeared a new busy item - "Storage and USB drive". With this menu, you can learn about the contents of external or internal drives (for example, connected using OTG-cable flash drive or MicroSD memory card). Although this integrated file manager is capable only to delete, move and share files, the fact itself its presence is undoubtedly pleased.

Using the battery and saving charge

Pretty deep changes affected the battery usage mode. Now in the energy consumption statistics, it is possible to see not only the time of autonomous operation of the gadget, but also the actual indicators of energy consumption in the m / h.

But this is not the main thing. The main innovation presented in the developer preview is the Doze saving mode. What is its benefit? Now applications in Android can be customized in such a way that the battery charge saves during their work. In an almost all version available, almost all applets are configured so that the battery work with them is economically (the only exception concerns Google Play services). The essence of the DOZE function is that the time of the autonomous working state of the smartphone in Stand-BY mode has been increased. If earlier the battery per night per 15-20%, then now the representative of the fifth line of Nexus smartphones for the sleepy mode is quite a 1-2% discharge in one night. To achieve such results, there is no need to disable Wi-Fi or use the air mode. Real magic, isn't it?

Support scanner prints

Android firmware 6.0 includes a special API, which allows you to unify fingerprint removal tools for authorization in programs. Now it remains to wait just to equip new models of smartphones by the scanners themselves, because even in the phones of the Google Nexus series, in which Marshmallow is only available, and dactyloscopic scanners have not yet been delivered. We expect such a hardware solution in the following models.

Support for USB Type-C

The last hardware version of the USB interface called Type-C (or simply USB-C) is increasingly in fashion. The main advantage of USB 3.1 before the previous modification 3.0 is twice a large bandwidth. If the early version provided the information transfer rate to 5 Gbps (625 MB / s), the new interface allows you to increase it up to 10 Gb / s. In addition, with this type of connection, a completely new connector is used. In addition, following the specifications of the standard, the current of 1.5 and 3.0 A is used in Type-C, the voltage is 5 seconds. As a result, it gives a significant increase in the charging speed of the gadget.

Auxiliary bonus of the new interface is the possibility of charging tablets, smartphones and phones one from another, which is useful in hiking conditions, on the road and in other situations where there is no access to another outlet.

Let's summarize

In essence, in Marshmallow, the overview of which we did with an emphasis on global and noticeable innovations, a massive work on errors was done. Although there are practically no external changes, you can make sure that thanks to optimizing the Lollipop code, many tools began to work more smoothly and much faster. Significantly increased autonomy, especially in stand-by mode. New buns are pleased - such as Google Now on Tap, the function of thin caustization of applets permissions and the repository manager. In the following minor builds, it is possible to wait for a multi-digital mode on both tablets, and probably on smartphones, as well as support for Android Pay technology for contactless payments.

Marshmallow interface

Presented on Google I / O 2014 Material Design is present in the new Android, special changes, of course not. Google added a very interesting change function of the settings menu themes to the dark. Unfortunately, there is no release in the release. Another significant change is the application menu. It is still white, but the programms are now leaving down and sorted in alphabetical order. Do not say that this is the right decision, but you can get used to it. From above, four applications used most often are always displayed.

Also a little changed LCSRIN. Previously, it was possible to quickly get into the dialer or chamber, now there is a voice search and the same camera. This fact confirms that Google made focus on Google Now, but a little later. To be honest, very lacking quick access to the "phone", as you do not use voice searching, but I have to call constantly.

By the way, the dialer was somewhat recycled, now the call history is displayed in the style of cards. The Add Contact window also changed slightly in design. The settings have become much more convenient than on Android Lollipop.

There are several Marshmallow minor innovations that make the use of the device easier. For example, in the curtain of notifications, a flexible customizable mode "Do not disturb" appeared.

The application menu in the settings looks somewhat different ways - horizontally removed tabs, but clicking on the settings icon from above, you can access the optional function: "Default applications", "links", "permissions" and others.

In the "Memory", you can now see what program for which time and in what quantity memory used.

Finally, Google made a normal data backup - not just restoring programs from Play Market, and the full restoration of the device with all its data and settings.

The "Battery" item was not particularly changed, but the fans clearly like that the amount of mack consumed by each process is displayed here. Previously, such a functional could be achieved only with the help.

Woke 2015, and Google finally introduced a battery charge percentage in the status bar. True, while this is available only through the settings for the developers. To enable them, you need to tap several times by the assembly number, after which the "For Developers" item appears in the settings, where you need to activate. Also, this mode can be activated by long clicking on the settings icon in the notification curtain.

In addition to the display of interest, it is possible to configure the status bar, and the notification cortex, and turn on the demo mode, with which it is very convenient to draw screenshots.

In general, the Android 6.0 Marshmallow interface has changed for the better, and minor cosmetic changes - a step in the right direction. Some innovations will have to get used to, but the impressions of the appearance are only positive.

An unexpected feature was a built-in file manager, which can be opened in the "Storage and USB" with the "Open" button.

The star of the show was the Google Now service, which he wondered and got the NOW ON TAP function. The meaning is that when you press the "Home" button, the system is trying to find places, performers, people, music or movies in the application used and opens information. On paper is not impressive at all, but in life it is really useful and convenient.

For example, if someone sent you a place in Hangouts, you can immediately open information about it, if it is a cafe or restaurant, book a table. It can work not only with Google maps, but also with YouTube, Google Play Music, etc. Keep in mind that now on tap is not magic, so you cannot get information absolutely around what is on the screen. The more programs installed on the device, the better NOW ON TAP works.

For residents of Russian-speaking countries, there is an unpleasant news - the function does not work in Russian, so you have to switch the language of the system into English.

This opportunity has long been iOS, but with the release of Marshmallow switched to Android. The essence is very simple - the user itself decides which applications to what access. And immediately at the first launch, the system asks how to provide access to. At any time, you can change the solution, as already noted above.

Android 6.0 officially came out with the LEVEL 23 API, which makes it possible to customize permissions for applications. All programs on the device must be updated to support this feature.

Not many know that still in Android 5 Lollipop appeared the blocking function in the application. Now it was doped a little. The meaning is that when this function is turned on, the system fastens the application on the screen, and it is easy to exit it. Very useful for those cases when someone takes your phone.

First you need to activate the function in the settings.

After that, the "Attach" icon will appear in the multitasking menu.

In order to exit, you must simultaneously press the "Back" and Review button.

In this mode only fixed application is available. It is impossible to open even the curtain of notifications.

Performance and autonomy

At the Google I / O 2015 conference, the company presented a very interesting mode - Android Doze, which helps save the battery charge when the device is in standby mode.

Another feature - App Standby - also saves the charge when the device is not used. This mode is configured through the application menu. The user chooses which programs should work "on complete", and which save charge.

Google claimed that Android 6.0 will save up to 30% of the battery charge, and the Nexus 5 lifetime will grow almost up to two times. To be honest, the difference is actually not felt.

As for performance, here the gadget really came to life. For all the time there was not a single bug, the switching between applications is carried out without delay, the system itself works without complaints. Perhaps this is due to the improvement of the ART runtime.

As you already know everything, Google has posted official images of Android 6.0 Marshmallow firmware, for most Nexus ruler devices. For those who do not intend to wait for an OTA update (over the air, by air) for its device, we present you a kind of instruction, how to install Android Marshmallow on your Nexus. Immediately I want to say that if you have flown at least once ...

As you already know everything, Google has posted official images of Android 6.0 Marshmallow firmware, for most Nexus ruler devices. For those who do not intend to wait for an OTA update (over the air, by air) for its device, we present you a kind of instruction, how to install Android Marshmallow on your Nexus.

I immediately want to say that if you have fluttering your device at least once, then this instruction is practically different, the difference is only in the presence of a new image of the firmware. And if you do this for the first time, this instruction will be accurately useful.

For those who do not want to read or love to watch everything with their own eyes, at the very bottom of this material there will be a video of Androidauthority.com journalists. Despite the fact that the firmware is performed on the video of the older version of Android, the steps that you need to do is not change.

What you need to start?

• Nexus line device and USB cable for connecting to a laptop or computer.
• The bootloader on your device must be unlocked.
• Installed Android SDK with ADB and FastBoot programs. Download here for this link!
• Factory image of the firmware Android 6.0 Marshmallow. You can download it! At the moment, Android Marshmallow images are available for devices such as Nexus 6, Nexus 5, Nexus 7 (2013), Nexus 9, and even for Nexus Player.
• Archiver installed on the computer, which can work with such formats as .Tar i.tgz

Now you can proceed to business. ATTENTION!!! You do everything on your own risk, despite the fact that it is very difficult to kill Nexus software, we are not responsible for the actions that you perform. Carefully learn the instructions and everything will turn out.

1. Turn on your device in bootloader mode (FastBoot mode). In order to do this, you need to turn off your smartphone / tablet, and then holding the volume button to click on the power button (Volume- + Enable Button).
2. If you didn't do this earlier, connect your device to your computer and execute the OEM Unlock command, you will unlock the bootloader. ATTENTION: All files from your device will be deleted!
3. Using the archiver, remove all files from the archive.tgz. Then use the archiver again to extract all files from the archive .Tar. When you execute these items, you should have a folder with multiple files inside.
4. All the files you received from the above archives transfer to the Platform Tools folder, which is already installed by Android SDK.
5. If all items are performed correctly, then after connecting the device, all ADB commands must already work. To check the correct connection, enter "FastBoot Devices" on the commander. If your device appeared in the list, then it turned out the output correctly.
6. In a folder with a firmware that is already in Platform Tools, there is a file with the name "Flash-all". Double clicking on this file will launch the Android Marsmallow installation process to your Nexus.
7. After the start of the firmware process, in no case, do not disconnect your device from the computer. If you do it, you can accurately get "brick".
8. After the firmware process is over, your smartphone / tablet will reboot and everything ... Congratulations, now you are the owner of the Nexus device running Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

The mobile product market is arranged in such a way that, as the new versions of the OS Android, smartphone producers are implementing their support in their own as recently released, and already proven models. How it works? At the time of purchases of a new mobile product, it is available for a basic version of the system installed by default. After a period of time, Google releases a new android release. Six months or a little later, depending on the geographic region, when the new version becomes rolled and stable, it can be installed onto your smart. As a result, you get a new, modern interface, support for new applications and more settings and customization. In this material we made a detailed guide for you, how to update android on phone.

What is an update on for android and why it is necessary

You need to be aware that as a result of updating or rollback of the operating system, all data stored on the phone will be irretrievably lost. Be sure to back up all the data you need (address book, notes, photos) on a reliable external carrier before making any actions given in this guide. It can be an external drive, hard drive on a PC (as a last resort, a memory card, but not desirable).

Another nuance. Since the operating update will require a certain time (from 5 to 10 minutes, and sometimes more), be sure to charge the phone to 70-80% of the total battery, so that the update procedure is not interrupted due to the problems with the phone battery.

Automatic update android

The most accessible and easiest difficult way to update. We go to the parameter menu and select the "Phone Information" section. Here we go to the item "Update by". On your device, this section may be somewhere else in another place, so you may have to be like settings.

Now we tapa on the "Update" button, after setting the update download option only by Wi-Fi, in order not to "eaten" any money from the account.

Option in the settings menu for automatic OS update

When all data from the manufacturer's server will be downloaded, in the set menu, the Set "Set" button and expect until the restart of the device is completed.

Since the Mobile device is only described above, only to Minor Release-build, it is also worth using a special utility from the manufacturer (for Samsung gadgets - it's kies, for LG - PC Suite, etc.) or update "by air" (most of Companies producing smartphones or tablets possess such branded features).

Last update androidIf it is already available on the server, you can download yourself at any time with such a program.

Android manual firmware update

In this method, almost all service centers enjoy, but we can well update themselves, using exclusively tools. An ODIN system application is used to upgrade. You can download it on many web resources (for example, on the same 4PDA). With this technique, you can put only a new version of the official firmware, but not custom.

1. Download the ODIN program. We need version 1.83 (or newer), - it enjoys great popularity among technical specialists and is suitable for the overwhelming majority of products.

2. Find and download the archive in the network with the firmware you need. After removing the contents from the archive (you will need to download the archiver for Android), you should be 3 files on your hands: Pit, PDA and CSC

3. Connect the smartphone to the PC. It is critical that the phone is correctly determined in Windows

4. Run ODIN. If the device's connection has passed successfully, the port name will light up in the program in yellow in the appropriate field

Indication of the successful connection of the device to the PC to update in ODIN

5. Turn off the mobile device and translate it into download mode by pressing the home key and lowering the volume at the same time.

6. Confirm the activation of the download mode, holding down the "Volume Up" key

7. In the central ODIN window, select the downloaded files so that they correspond to the PIT, PDA and CSC objects

8. In Odin, press the START button and wait until all files are updated.

If the Android system has passed without interference, a field with an inscription PASS in green appears on the application screen.

Successful system update via ODIN

Rollback to the previous version

Perhaps you updated to one of the latest versions and remained unhappy (the phone works slowly, errors often appear, there is a need to reboot, etc.). If necessary, you can roll back to any version you need. How to roll back?

1 way

Suitable for those who wish to return the basic official factory firmware installed in the apparatus at the time of its acquisition in the store. Make it pretty easy. Go to the device settings and select the item responsible for resetting the settings (this may be "confidentiality" or "Archiving and Reset"). On the test phone, this feature was available in the Restore and Reset menu in the Personal Data category.

Section in the parameter menu designed to reset the device to the factory state

1. We go to this section of the menu and stop at the "Reset Settings" item.
2. Forms alert with a warning to delete all data from the gadget. If the backup copies are already saved in a safe place, boldly press the "reset phone settings".
3. Begins to restart the phone. After 5-10 minutes, it will boot again, with a clean basic system on board.

2 way - reset to factory settings (Hard Reset)

1. turn off the phone / tablet
2. at the same time, press and hold the "increasing volume" button, "home" (center below) and "food". Opened Recovery menu.

6. once again we click the power button. Before you again pops up the main menu
7. using the power key, mark "Reboot System Now"

All is ready. The next time the factory version of the OS will boot.

How to roll back if the custom version of Android is installed (Cyanogenmod, Miui, Paranoid Android)?

If you installed a custom ROM, you can return the official firmware in the same way how to carry out a manual update - with the help of the ODIN program already mentioned in the review. Previously have to search the network files with the firmware you need, suitable individually for your smart model. Perhaps the best resource for searching is a 4pda mobile portal, here you can find any firmware for almost every phone model.

1. connect your mobile device to PC
2. run Odin.
3. turn off the phone and enter it in Download Mode. To do this, press the home, power and loudness key
4. when the phone is loaded, click the volume key to activate Download Mode
5. on the main form ODIN select downloaded files as conformity PIT, PDA and CSC
6. in Odin, press the START button and wait until all files are updated.

The successful end of the rollback procedure will be evidenced by the green field with the Pass inscription at the top.
