Jun 29, 2017 9:50 PM • by Doug Lynch | Google Announces a Developer Preview of the Android Things Console Google initially announced Brillo back during the 2015 Google I/O tech event and that was said to be the company's IoT platform. It has evolved and grown since that initial announcement and was officially rebranded as Android Things right at the end of last year. Android Things is such a new venture for Google that they didn't even have a unified console that developers could access and manage their Android Things products. Just like how Google has the Google Play Console for developers who want to manage their assets which are listed in the Play Store, the Android Things Console will serve a similar function. The company has just announced there is a developer preview available for Android Things, so you should expect it to be fully fleshed out right now. In a blog post published to the Android Developers Blog yesterday, Google gave us a tour of what we can expect from this initial release. There are a couple of main functions to the Android Things Console right now and that involves creating factory images as well as updating both the OS and APKs which have been provided by the developer. In the blog post, Google teased an upcoming update to Android Things (Developer Preview 5) and says that IoT devices will need to run system images downloaded from the Android Things Console so they can receive future updates (like the upcoming Android Things Developer Preview 5). From the Android Things Console, developers will be able to create a project, manage the settings of the project (such as a name, SoM name, Google Play Services, etc.). Once you have installed the initial firmware onto your IoT device, you'll be able to upload a bundle (which includes APKs, user space drivers and more) directly to the Android Things Console and it can then be deployed to your IoT devices. You'll even be able to manage and deploy OTA updates from this new console as well.

It has a really good set of specs for the price. However, if you own this smartphone, then you already know that the software on this is not all that good. And there is not a lot that you can do, apart from simply flashing a new custom ROM. Well, if you are wondering how to do it, then you are in the right place since we will show you how to do the same. Today, in this tutorial, we will show you exactly How to Install Android 7.1 based LineageOS 14.1 on Galaxy S6. But before we begin the installation, let's take a look at some of the features it brings to the table. About the ROM Below are some of the working features of this ROM – Below are some of the working features of the smartphone on this ROM – - Camera rear/front (Photographs)

Now that it is out of the way, let's check out some of the requirements that are necessary for the installation. Below are some of the pre-requisite for the same – Pre-requisite - The first thing which you need to make sure is that you are creating a complete backup of your files. Since we will be completely wiping the internal memory of the phone, you will end up loosing all your files.
- You also need to make sure that you are installing a custom recovery software. You can install any of your choices, however, we suggest you go for TWRP for this installation.
- You also need to make sure that the battery in the tablet has about 60-percent charge before you begin the installation. If your smartphone's battery dies during the installation, then you may end up with a completely bricked smartphone.
- And lastly it is also necessary to make sure that you have downloaded the firmware file which is necessary for the installation. Without this file, you won't be able to proceed with the installation and hence we suggest you download the same from the link given below.

- Once done, simply turn off your phone and enter into the recovery mode. You can do this by pressing Volume Down + Power Key at the same time.
- After this, once you are in the recovery menu, look for wipe and format option ⇒ wipe data, system, cache and Dalvik cache and initiate it.
- Once done, now return back to the recovery menu and tap on Install.
- Now it will ask you to browse for the firmware file which you had copied earlier. Simply navigate to the same and select it.
- After that simply swipe to begin the installation.
- Do make a note that the installation will take some time and hence we suggest you be patient with the same.
- After it is done, before rebooting you can also choose to install the GApps.
- Once this is done, your device will automatically reboot into the new ROM.
Do make a note that the first reboot may take a long time and hence we suggest you stay patient with the same. Having said, if you have any queries regarding the setup, then be sure to let us know by commenting down below and also stay tuned to Android Advices for more tutorials like this.  | | |
