Launches New Android homescreen

There are many applications out there that can offer the option of how something looks and feels on your Android device. The most common of these is a homescreen replacement. It is very popular in the early days of Android, because they offer functionality not available in the stock configuration. Version by version, the stock Android experience grew to the point where power users no longer feel the need to use anything but the stock Android. There is something to be said, however, to have experience on your tablet is intentionally different from the one on your phone. With that in mind the team at Teknision consumption has begun to provide experience-based tablet which they have dubbed the Chameleon Launcher. Chameleon is a unique approach to the Android home screen and launcher. Rather than base their work on what has been provided by Android, Chameleon is based almost entirely on HTML5. Hope with this design is that a broader base of developers will be interested in building widgets for the platform, and thus provides a quick and stable experience on each device. As a result of HTML5 environment, there is no native Android widgets are available in the Store Play Google will work with this launcher. Instead, the system is divided into a grid page that allows you to place the widget wherever you like chameleons. Currently there are less than 10 widgets for the platform, with some examples that Twitter, Instagram, RSS feeders, and other similar tools. The common thread is that the widgets are all designed to present information that you can see at a glance. The interesting thing about the launcher Chameleon is how our own work. You can have a homepage as much as you like, and you can collect them based on what information you find relevant. When I first wake up in the morning, I want to see the email, weather, and RSS. To achieve this, all I did was create the page, set the widget that I want, and setup the page to be the first thing I saw in 07:00. No matter what I do or what my page before I went to bed, when I wake up I will see this page Chameleon. You can set the context for any page, including the location or event, and the page will change to provide the information that you tell it you want to see. Surprisingly, the team Teknision not only build the application and release it to the store Play Google. Like several others, I first discovered through Kickstarter Chameleon. The project is getting enough support to move forward, and now they are paying $ 10 for beta access to gain access to the new Launcher. When I spoke with Gabor Vida of Teknision, we talked a little about why the company has gone with Kickstarter. Teknision is a development company that specializes in work for other brands, they never released any of their own. There are those who are interested in Teknision on Chameleon, but no way to confirm that there are users who are interested in the service there is no way for companies to determine how much energy to dedicate to the app. So, instead of sticking their necks out and take the risk of it being successful, the project created Kickstarter that earn more than $ 66,000. As a beta application $ 10, I found the Chameleon somewhat less. Apart from some obvious performance problems, which I have been assured will be increased from polished before the beta app, the lack of native widgets either their own or a collection of widgets make it difficult for reliable launcher. At this point, many people have been paying far more than you do for some other homescreen replacement for the promise that developers will come up and the launcher will be improved.
