@
rodneyej Why you...... sellout! Hahaha (I'm obviously joking if some can't tell).
Sounds like it's working out for you, good to hear.
I'm interested to see how you get on with the your note 9 as I have few questions lol.
Right now, I'm curious to see how it performs and what happens with Dex so if you have a HD-500 to hand could you test that out?
Also I want to hear how you get on with the time line integration with Microsoft launcher and I won't ask you to reign in the exclamation marks or erm commas *cough* *cough*
(although I hope you will haha).
Objectively speaking about Andromeda running android:
To be honest, I don't see much improvement in terms of multi tasking from icons as all you can do is hold the icons and tap a context menu and open up a mini screen which you can then manoeuvre around. This is because Microsoft has already patented the exploding tiles and mix view. I don't see Apple or Google trying to compete in finding an alternative to that as there practically isn't.
Icons are outmoded, over two decades on...we are still using icons so I don't really see Android powering Andromeda and not to mention the ecosystem issues there.
It would mean forking android or being at Google's mercy, with the former that's a whole new store then you have the issue with xbox, xcloud, azure, windows... no.. it just doesn't work.
Especially with Microsoft tightening their belts as a whole new store means a tonne of money and resources to be spent; in addition to this it makes Microsoft absolutely retarded as it nulifys all the work they did to unify the kernel, flies in the face of kicking people in the nuts when they switched from the CE kernel and not to mention the cancellaton of project astoria (just to note a few examples why).
So nope, Android running on Andromeda just not happening.
As I said before awhile ago the only way companies can superscede icons is via voice and that is what's happening with the mass profileration of cheap voice enabled devices.
Live tiles were the next evolutionary steps from static icons, from live tiles we should have had mixed view. From which we'd get voice and multitasking via gestures using mix view which would have paved the way for next the organic growth point and that is AR, Gestures and voice.
That won't happen for awhile yet as we still need major leap in battery technology as software optimisation will get so far. Ideally something like small scale cold fusion or diamagnetism using earth's natural magnetism or a combination could work but pratically way out of reach at present lol.
Well, I best stop myself before I ramble on too much LOL!
Anyway, you should keep a thread on how you get on with your note 9 as I am genuinely curious.
