Twitter 5 for Android, Holo UI: preview & download

Bob Freking Leave a comment

Google aims at bringing its Holo UI across all of the Android ecosystem, and we all know its coming to apps such as Twitter. We’ve managed to get the APK file already, and so far it’s looking pretty good. Here’s a preview of Twitter 5.0 for Android.

In terms of Twitter functionality, not much has changed. Aesthetically, a slide-out menu has been added to the left side. Your Twitter header is over at the background, blurred similar to Windows Aero & iOS 7.

Sliding across tabs still functions the same way, but this time you get all 7 tabs (slightly cluttered). You may rearrange the order of the said tabs through the slide-out menu, but you can’t hide it. We hope that changes in the final version.

All-in-all, everything is just lighter & faster to go through. However, we would like to remind everyone that Twitter version 5.0 is still in Beta so you might to wait for it to graduate and officially reach the Play Store.

But if you want to give it a try you can download it here.

Samsung & HTC holds a Twitter fight, LG goes neutral

The tension between HTC & Samsung has been very high lately, and recently, it looks like they needed to release it… through a few words on Twitter.

ONE S4

HTC is having quite a success with the One so far, but it is facing internal problems as their employees & executives are leaving the company. On the other hand, Samsung may still have the success with the Galaxy S4, but apparently their sales are slowing down which causes their stock to face a few problems.

After trading a few blows, for some reason, LG swoops in telling them to calm down.

It’s quite funny and relaxing to see how these companies stoop down to such level because of their Android rivalry. Anyway, we can’t really blame them – it’s just competition.

Initially available only for iOS devices, Vine, the popular Twitter-owned app that lets you record moments up to 6-seconds and then loops it for everyone to see is now available for Android users.

VINE

If your smartphone is running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich or higher, you can download the app here for free. The experience is still a little shaky as it is currently getting inconsistent feedback scores, but nonetheless, it is still worth a look at – and your comments are probably needed by the devs to improve it.

Here is a sample of what you can do with it.

Give it a try, and tell us what you think down below.
