Material Design Documentation for Developers

If you’re a developer looking to implement Material Design, then you may be familiar with the frustration of looking over Google’s Material Design specifications. To address this issue, Android developers Dmytro Danylyk and Yakiv Mospan have created a new website that compiles a list of available Material Design components and sample code of their usage. Check it out if you’re looking to follow the Material Design guidelines!

OnePlus: “[Our] USB Type-C cable and adapter are compliant with USB 2.0 and Type-C 1.0 protocols.”

In response to recent controversy in which a Google engineer warned that OnePlus was selling non-compliant USB Type-C devices, a OnePlus spokesperson reached out to Gadgets 360 to address the concerns expressed by the Google engineer. The USB cable “can safely be used with the OnePlus 2 to transfer data and charge the phone,” however, it may be wise to avoid using this Type-C device on any other device, as the Google engineer warns.

Microsoft Delays Release of Project Astoria Tool for Developers

Back in April, we heard that Microsoft was working on what was dubbed as Project Astoria. This tool was planned to make it easy for developers to quickly port Android applications directly over to Windows 10. A Microsoft representative has told re/code that the “Astoria bridge is not ready yet”, but at this time, it remains unclear if Microsoft has dropped the project or just delayed it.

Install Custom ROMs on LG Optimus L9 With Locked Bootloader

XDA Member EdwinMoq found out that the LG Optimus L9 uses the same signature keys as the LG G3, making it now possible to install a custom rom without unlocking the bootloader. The phone does need to be rooted for this to work, but the procedure is otherwise quite straight forward.

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Marshmallow System Dump Available!

A few hours ago, reports started emerging of a XDA user receiving Touchwiz based on Android 6.0 Marshmallow on his T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 5. Many media outlets reported on it with the information that the system dump was available at their moment of writing.

We refrained from doing so till we actually had the System Dump, and now we do!

XDA Senior Member danon.brown found himself on an unusual firmware after he accepted an OTA after an Odin flash of his device. Much to the member’s surprise, the firmware was actually from a Marshmallow build of Touchwiz, with the firmware name MRA58K.N920TUVU2DOK5. For the greater good of the community, danon.brown shared a lot of screenshots from the build, along with agreeing to work in coordination with XDA Recognized Developer arter97 to obtain a full partition dump of the device. You can find the system dump here, with the full partition dump available here.

Some screenshots from the newest version of TouchWiz are below:

For more screenshots, please visit the forum thread.

The system dump coincides with previous reports of Samsung’s update roadmap which stated that the Samsung Galaxy Note 5’s Android 6.0 Marshmallow update was “approved”, with a stated ETA as December 2015. While Samsung has not officially mentioned of a rollout, this could be the beginning of a staged rollout.

This build was from a T-Mobile Note 5 (SM-N920T) and can likely work on some other variants with minimal modifications, but be sure to check for reports if you are unsure.

Thanks to danon.brown and arter97 for their contributions!

Asus Announces Marshmallow Update Plans

It’s been over a month since Marshmallow officially launched, and most major OEMs have announced a roadmap indicating which devices will get the update and when, bringing an end to many anxious waiting periods. However, Asus had refrained from any such indication until earlier today, which saw a staff member take to the ZenTalk forums to announce that the PadfoneS, Zenfone 2 – Regular, Deluxe and Laser editions, and the Zenfone Selfie would be receiving the update, with no designated timeline accompanying the post.
