In a Google+ post shared today, the team has announced major changes coming to the Google+ desktop site. Google has recognized that a major reason users are attracted to their platform is to discuss their various interests, and so the company has reorganized the site’s navigation to center around Collections and Communities. Google has also simplified posting, searching, and discovering new content in this UI revamp.
Amazon has a long tradition of releasing devices with operating systems based on Android. XDA Senior Member ggow once again ported the CyanogenMod ROM to Amazon Fire – one of the newest tablets in Amazon’s family. After some initial problems with kernel, it is now booting without tethering. A build is quite stable and can be used as a daily driver.
Xposed Framework was just recently updated to support Android 6.0 Marshmallow and now we’re starting to see other developers releasing updates to their Xposed Modules. A very popular module, GravityBox, has just been updated to version 6.0.0 and it is currently in Beta form. Recognized Contributor C3C076, asks that you include a log file if you find a bug while using the module.
Poland is once again a country where a new Android revision for a popular phone will appear. According to reports, LG will release an Android 6.0 Marshmallow update for its LG G3 2014 flagship in just four weeks.
Marshmallow updates are rolling out for many devices of major Android OEMs. We know that HTC and Samsung are trying to deliver the update as fast as possible. It’s quite common to see Poland as a country where the update is actually deployed first. Samsung and LG have some sort of tradition where they release updates in Europe first, and often in Poland. The first LG device that got a Marshmallow update was LG G4, and its predecessor, the LG G3, will use a very similar graphical style. An update is scheduled to roll-out on mid December (16-18 December to be precise). According to the source, the software is far from being perfectly fast and fluid, but LG has one month to iron out the remaining bugs and work on performance. We hope that such a mobile giant will prepare the update really well… or they’ll face the same backlash they saw from previous mistakes.
According to Jarosław Bukowski from LG Poland, an update is at its final testing stage and will surely improve before the deadline.
@Dritone a czy ja coś takiego napisałem? inna sprawa, że sam nie ukrywałem, że aktualizacja jest przygotowywana, właśnie wgrywam!

Translation: @Dritone, did I write something like this? The other thing is that I never actually hide the fact that the update is prepared. I’m flashing it as we speak!
Stay tuned as it’s very likely that XDA users from Poland will capture the OTA link and share it on the forums. A Marshmallow update for the LG G3 is a nice gift for the upcoming Christmas!
