SO.HO
After the disaster of Facebook Home, the launcher or aspect own that this social network developed for terminals with operating system Android, other developers have wanted to try their luck with their own creations This has served as inspiration to create applications quite surprising that put social environments on the front page of the terminal, relegatingto the background applications and the rest of the functions of the smartphonesA good example is SO.HO, which gives a twist to what is presented by Facebook , expanding its possibilities with other important social networks of the moment.
As we say, it is a launcher or environment, created to replace the current aspecto of the Android terminal. This changes the classic scheme of terminals in which one or several desktops are presented to show, on the first page, the contents of the accounts in Facebook, Twitter and even Instagram With this you can manages to focus attention on the images, posts and status updates of these social networks All This is done on the same Android desktop, from where it is possible to interact with the contents. We explain how it works below.
As soon as you install the application, keep in mind that it acts as a launcher, so when you press the Home button on the terminal will always display SO.HO and environment default of the mobile, although it is possible to select one as a favorite In addition, it is allowed to start this new environment from the application icon at any time. With this a new desktop appears in the terminal. It is actually based on the same desktop as Nexus from Google, which feature the option more basic and less custom of operating system Android, except for the home desktop, which is intended for social networks
Thus, a space appears on said desktop to show the timeline, timeline or wall of Facebook, Twitter and InstagramAll you have to do is click on the button Sign in and sign with the user dataof the different accounts, which can be switched by simply clicking on the upper left corner With this, and after a loading time, the contents of the different Social networks appear on the screen, being able to move chronologically just by scrolling down, as if it were application itself , except for the difference of being on the desktop. Something like a widget or shortcut more adapted to the terminal.
It is curious, as well as useful, to be able to update profiles and statuses through the button upper right corner, except on Instagram, where it is not yet possible to post an image, just access the application where to carry out the process
In short, a most curious tool to keep up to date with favorite social networks directly on the desktop, without having to access the official applications Something that could well replace a widget but, in this case, it adapts to form part of the desktop to be able to interact directly with the contents. One way to iintegrate social networks directly into the terminal For now SO.HO is a version beta or in testing phase, so it is possible that improvements and new features may be added before its final version. However, it is already possible to download and use it freely and completely gratis It is available at Google Play
