As you already know, Android phones contain a little trick that is more fun than practical. Specifically, when you review the system information in the settings menu, if you intermittently click on the platform version section, an illustration or an exclusive animation of that Android edition appears.
In the case of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, the result is a smiling cartoon of the motif that serves as the surname of this version of the system, from which, after leaving the finger pressed on it for a few moments, a fantasy of floating colored jelly beans emerges in zero gravity through the mobile screen, allowing each of the jelly beans to detect the touch impulses on the screen.
This trick, which as we say does not go beyond the merely aesthetic, takes on a new look in Android 4.2. This version of the system is still named like its predecessor, that is, Jelly Bean, so if we repeat the operation, the same animation is loaded. However, in this case, once we activate this nice animation, the operating system introduces a new option among the configurations that can be accessed through the settings, as we have learned through AndroidCentral.
Specifically, after having launched the trick of the weightless jelly beans, the screen customization options add a new animated background that we could integrate into our mobile with Android 4.2. Thus, if you are the owner of a Galaxy Nexus or a Nexus 4, you can go through this section and check that once you have found the animation described, a new element is incorporated into the animated backgrounds, so you can see the beans of colors swarming across the panel of your Android 4.2 phone .
As we say, this version of Google's operating system for mobiles and tablets is only available, at the moment, on the Nexus family computers. In this sense, they are the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 which are available to the platform Android 4.2, standing outside, at the least the information that is available so far, line Nexus S and Motorola Xoom.
Among other things, Android 4.2 throws multi-user support as the main novelty, although only in the case of tablets. It also includes an interesting feature accommodated in the camera section. It is a utility with which you can capture 360-degree photos. It also improves the user experience with the notification manager, and even the possibilities of embodying desktops with floating windows ”” or intelligent ”” widgets grow.
One of the great improvements points to Google Now, that tag system that integrates all the information from our search history with the applications that the platform installs, so that the results can be refined with the highest degree of customization possible. By the way, the native Android keyboard also has new features. Specifically, it incorporates the gesture writing function, in the style of the well-known Swype keyboard.
