In Android Marshmallow, you can quickly & easily change volume of ringer, media and alarms.
Hopefully, more developers will update their apps to implement auto app backup. Sadly, you cannot manually add or remove apps from here and app data is backed only if apps support it. Your app data is synced with your Google Drive storage and you can go to Drive->Settings->Manage backups to check the apps whose data is being backed up. Google has a cool new auto app backup feature in Marshmallow, which should be useful when you are planning to switch phones or doing a factory reset. You can simply press hold on an app on the homescreen and you will get the options to “Remove” the shortcut or “ Uninstall” the app. Once, you’ve put a lock, you will find the Smart Lock feature enabled in Settings->Security.Īndroid 6.0 allows you to uninstall any app directly from the homescreen, unlike previuous Android versions. To set it up, you will first need to put a lockscreen lock like pattern, pin or password. Google has gone on to improve it further in Marshmallow. Smart Lock is a cool feature introduced in Lollipop, which not many of us know about. You will then get a pop-up window with the ability to translate the text in any language.
If you have the Google Translate app installed, you can select a text and press the three dot menu, where you’ll get the “ Translate” option.
The other question I have is how to disable the item that pops up at the bottom of the screen with information I don't need or want and interferes with the keyboard. Also, like Ted, I followed all the steps he did. In Android 6.0 Marshmallow, Google Translate is deeply integrated. Like Ted, I too cannot activate 'System UI Tuner' on my new Galaxy Tab S2 running Marshmallow 6.0.1. To disable peek or heads-up notifications, go to Settings->Sounds & notification->App notifications and tap on the app you want to disable it on and turn off “ Allow peeking“. Bringing the very latest iteration of Android Marshmallow, you also experience a firmware that. While heads-up notifications are cool, not everyone likes them and Google knows that, which is why it allows you to disable them. Based on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, CandySiX is the first custom firmware available for HTC One M9. Here, you can select the app and add supported links.ġ3. To set this up, head over to Settings->Apps and tap the settings cog on the top right and then, go to “ App links“. For instance, you can set a Twitter link to open in the Twitter app rather than getting an annoying dialog box like in the previous versions. Here, you can select to “optimise” or “don’t optimise” the Doze functionality in an app.Īndroid 6.0 Marshmallow brings a nifty little feature dubbed “App Links”, which lets you set certain links to be opened by a certain app. Go to Settings->Battery and tap the three dot menu and go to “ Battery Optimisation“. Well, if you are facing those issues, you can turn it off for a specific app. Although it’s a good feature, it might hamper some background activities of some apps, resulting in delayed or no notifications. Doze mode is the new battery saving functionality in Android 6.0, which reduces CPU and network activities while the device is idle.
