What's New in Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow Update !

 By Vaibhav Jain on January 21, 2016       
What's New in Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow Update !
Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow is rolling out for multiple Smartphones and Tablets . Although Nexus and Google Android One Devices already got Android 6.0.1 Update few months back !

The Question is ! What's New in Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow Update ?


Android 6.0.1 isn't a major update , but still here are the new Features which comes with Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow -

 1. New Emoji's -

 Android 6.0.1 comes with 200+ New emoji's support . The emoji's will come pre-installed with Google Keyboard application ( Android 6.0.1 ) .

 2. Double Tap for Camera -

 Quickly Launching the Camera application by just Double tapping the power button is the new feature of Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow .

 3. Lag in Copy & Paste Selection -

 Android 6.0.1 will finally fix the Lag in Copy Paste Selection , In Android 6.0 When we selected a text , it take few seconds to popup a floating toolbar of Copy , Paste and Select all .

 The laggy popup is fixed in Android 6.0.1

 4. Bluetooth and System Media Volume Controls -

 Its the first time Android brings Bluetooth and System media controls . New Android 6.0.1 Brings Bluetooth and System Media Volume Controls which allows headsets, speakers, and car stereos to manage volume loudness on your phone .


Android 6.0.1 Might have bought new features with the update , But It has still not fixed major Bugs of Android 6.0 Marshmallow , which includes ( Battery Drain Due to Wifi , Lagging and some other bugs ) .

 Should I update my Smartphone to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow ?

 If your Smartphone is running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow , then you should update it to Android 6.0.1 . Android 6.0 Marshmallow has many bugs that needs to be solved and Android 6.0.1 Solves half of the bugs .

Jide's Remix OS Violates GPL and Apache License

 By Vaibhav Jain on January 18, 2016       


Jide Remix Os has just made the dream's possible to Dual Boot Android and Windows on a Single PC / Mac .

Also Read - 



Its very easy to Install Remix Os via Official Remix Os USB Tool , But to all Jide fans Its not Official Remix Os USB Tool , its just a themed unetbootin ( Tool available for Windows and other platform ) . And that violate General Public License .


The Linux Homefront Project also found that , Remix Os that is based on Android-x86 has copied almost every thing from Android-x86 project ( same boot logo , build prop etc ) and that violate Apache Public License .

 Although that doesn't seems a very big issue , but still !
