Watch A Galaxy S2 Run Two Instances Of Android At The Same Time With New Experimental Virtualization Tech
Go ahead and file this one in the Super Cool Tech category. A Russian blog, Rozetked.ru, posted video of a Galaxy S2 running two copies of Android at the same time. The three-and-a-half minute video takes us through a demo switching between a pair of ROMs while playing music from both, proving that the hardware resources can be shared. After the audio segment, we are shown decently high frame rates on a 3D benchmarking app and Angry Birds. According to the team behind the project, running two concurrent instances of Android only takes about 10% off of battery life while the impact on system speed is negligible. Unfortunately, the voiceover and original subtitles are in Russian, but the automatic translation on YouTube does a passable job of clearing things up for the rest of us. (You may need to manually enable subtitles.)
The project comes from a team of students at the St. Petersburg University of Russian Academy of Sciences in collaboration with Parallels, a company well-known for its cloud computing and virtualization products. We reached out to Parallels, and they were happy to confirm the video's legitimacy.
I can assure you that this video states total truth. Indeed, Parallels has strong connection to the project evolvement. The technology’s been researched by group of students in Parallels Lab (it is our own educational laboratories in leading Russian Universities) at St. Petersburg University of Russian Academy of Sciences. To be specific, it is an experimental student project supervised by Parallels pros. The technology allows running multiple Android isolated environments on single Android device - effective and scalable with low overhead on virtualization. Yet it is still a technology with plans for further product development.

As you can see, development is still in the early stages, meaning this might not be available as a product for quite a while. And when it does become a product, locked bootloaders and a wide variety of driver-related issues will probably make manual installation impractical for average users and expensive for the company to support. More likely, Parallels will license the software to OEMs like Samsung and HTC and bundle it with devices, or include it as part of a firmware update. Despite a few potential hurdles to get over, this advancement really is something to be excited about. The potential for virtualization in the mobile space is amazing, and may ultimately lead to the next revolution in how we use our devices.
Thanks, Denis Mukhin.

Yup...Finally you'd be able to have a work phone and a personal phone altogether within the same device. I wonder if this will finally start promoting better dual-sim phones.
its awesome may be soon we get this on our sgs2

Wish for the best.... AWESOME :highfive:
It’s no secret that everyone has a mobile device these days. I mean, even my teenager has an iPhone, so I know how important it is that businesses take advantage of this market. As a business owner myself, I want to create an iPhone application, but I have no idea how to so I have to hire iPhone app developers. Who’s the best? I want to hire a company that is quick, affordable, and easy to work with!
There are some important markets that every business owner should have a foot in
There are some important markets that every business owner should have a foot in – these markets include social media networks and mobile markets. There are Facebook app development companies that provide applications for the former, but not for the latter. If you want to create a mobile application, you need to hire a company that can provide both, not just social media work. One of the companies I’ve personally worked with is ConvoSpark. ConvoSpark has a team of talented developers that can create Facebook applications and also applications for mobile devices, like iPhones and Android devices. They are very quick and affordable when compared to other comparable companies. I hope this helps!
I love Mozilla, but from what I've read it doesn't seem like there is really any point to Firefox OS.
Other than flaming me, could you please list some specifics as to why it's beneficial?
I've talked to a lot of people in person about it and they all seem to talk about potential to grow like Android. The main problem I see with this is that whereas Android filled an obvious gap in the market, Firefox OS is trying to carve a niche in now heavily fortified waters. The fact that Windows Mobile both says they'll be happy for 1% of the market, buys off Nokia and pays off devs to port apps, it should be a pretty clear sign this will be a major challenge for Mozilla when a company with a scrooge mcduck tower of cash is piling money on the issue and still getting limited results.
For the record, I'm going to install it on my of my old devices just to play around with it but in the meantime if anyone could pose a good argument for Firefox OS then I'd all ears. It'd be nice to know the time I'll spend setting it up is worth more than just curiosity and Mozilla sympathy.
Or just flame me and call me a noob
in my opinion, we definitely need firefox os. if it will be of any advantage for your user experience, is heavily dependent of its success. but it's the only smartphone os, that uses a really open approach. since most apps are shortcuts for browsing to a certain web page on your smartphone, basing the whole os on a browsing engine makes a lot of sense. and it makes lots of things easier for devs.
It seems promising to have a fully custoimizable and open source OS for low end phones. FOS could extend the lifetime of many phones which is a nice perspective instead of throwing away functional hardware.
FirefoxOS is:
Customisable, free
Hardware UN-requiring
This means that low end phones can use the fos because they don't need powerful hardware, and poorer people in countries like Brazil or Ghana can use modern phones for little price. It's not really meant for our newer phones high-end.
defender of the Open Web
Most important is that Firefox OS seems to be the most tangible defence to keep our Open Web environment from becoming closed. With Firefox OS, the millions of new users from Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Central / South America who are now just starting to buy low cost smart-phones will enjoy using, coding and Creating in Java and HTML 5, and be free to ignore 5.1 with its restrictions such as DRM.
Right now, the Web, Free and Open as we know it seems to be dying! Here's what Danny Obrien of the Electronic Frontier Foundation wrote on October 2 (link to full article after the quote):-
… where you cannot cut and paste text; where your browser can’t “Save As…” an image; where the “allowed” uses of saved files are monitored beyond the browser; where JavaScript is sealed away in opaque tombs; and maybe even where we can no longer effectively “View Source” on some sites, is a very different Web from the one we have today. It’s a Web where user agents—browsers—must navigate a nest of enforced duties every time they visit a page.
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/10/lowering-your-standards
I think why people should bother with B2G/Firefox OS is because it's not as complicated as Android - Android has a bunch of stuff that most of the time people won't even bother using so that's one benefit with B2G... Apart from the fact that it's not very hardware dependent, it's also simple and fast and aims at open source which Android seems to be lacking nowadays...
Because no Google there..

No google, is the point!
I would love to see FireFox as an mobile /tablet platform, because it has given middleware which can run webapps. which i feel is far better than any other achievement unlike any other platform where middleware are heavy sometimes VM's to run app in UI. Firefox gives ability to run apps with PC like standards(HTML5, CSS3) etc.
i personally tested and best thing is there search is quite competing with google search for Android. try one .
Lot of other competeres try making webapps as there UI framework but fais may be because there inexperience, i am hoping Firefox with there vast knowledge can create a ecosystem where mobile ui/ PC ui will became synonyms. in that case nothing except a good webkit will solve all issues. till then we can wait.

In 2002 and 2003, the world was saying the same thing about Mozilla's browser. What's the point? IE 6 was pretty amazing (seriously!) when it came out and most Web developers I talked to were happy to have one target client. That sentiment was very different after 2005 when Firefox demonstrated to the world that the Web was stagnating. Most Web developers changed their tunes and started demanding Microsoft release newer versions with modern capabilities and erase IE 6 from the face of the Earth.
Mozilla is a non-profit dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what's possible with Web technology while putting users at the center of their computing experience. We are here with no other agenda. We're not trying to sell ads. We're not trying to sell hardware. We're not trying to grow subscribers. We're trying to put users in more control and to expand the possibilities for the best operating system ever created -- the Web.
That's enough reason for me.

As a developer I love it because I don't need to code twice (at best) if I want my app to work on multiple devices, screen sizes, OSs, future OSs, etc. The WEB is the platform so my app can easily intercomunicate with other webapps regardless of their underlying technology, because the WEB has standards. This will result in better and rich apps with better and rich services WITHOUT being enslaved by any platform/SDK specifics.
FirefoxOS is the next common-sense step on mobile technology and I'm pretty sure we are going to see Boot2Webkit, Boot2Blink, from the other companies... and if we don't, we will see more companies following the same fate as Nokia, Microsoft...

Because Mozilla is helping build a internet the world needs and has been for years. Mozilla is also the most privacy focused company making software and has won awards backing that.
I've been trying hard to get our teams to develop for it but there doesn't seem to be much enthusiasm for it in China...
I have the Mozilla Flame phone and currently it's stable version is Firefox OS 2.0 and honestly, the improvements they've made make FFOS more unique and beneficial for the user. It's almost up to scratch, just a one or two releases and the features will be there. The speed already is there.
to be free from the grasps of a company who spys on your every move
As a user since version 1.0 on a ZTE Open, I have to say that I don't see a single compelling reason for an end-user to buy a FFXOS device, other than possibly price (debatable: many Android handsets fall into nearly the same price point, and the Lumia 520 is basically the same price as the ZTE Open C and better in every possible regard).
I get that it is an incredibly important vision that Mozilla have for the future of HTML5 and apps, but that matters most on the back end for developers and those who provide apps and services. I also understand that Mozilla have made great efforts to ensure that Open WebAPI is as painless as possible for developers to use, and that using very few lines of code, you can write powerful solutions. These are all fantastic things, and the web and technology in general stand to benefit massively from this.
However, from a purely end-user point of view, I find the UI/UX to be lagging severely behind every other platform, not to mention the relatively poor functionality of the stock apps. They do nothing other platforms don't do better.
The performance is abysmal, even on the Flame, and the battery life fluctuates wildly and does not impress me at all given my usage pattern.
I've filed endless amounts of suggestions for expansion and improvements to UI/UX and 99% of the time am met with blind reticence.
The feel I get is not that this is a platform for everyone by everyone, but a platform for a very small subset of the population (which if you analyze what the platform ships with stock and how they market it, Mozilla seems to have no idea who this population is) controlled by a team with a death-grip on it, fingers in their ears, blindfolds on, chanting "This is perfect, this is perfect, you don't know what you're talking about!".
People's tepid response to the platform and its slow adoption rate should stand as testimony to the fact that the platform is far from perfect.
****, the keyboard STILL sucks complete ass even on v2.2 nightly. Something as fundamental as the primary ****ing input method still isn't even done half-assed correct, so what do you think the rest of the experience is like?
Such a frustrating platform... I really wanted this to be the Phoenix that takes the principles and ideals of webOS from the ashes and sets the world of technology on fire, but it looks more like a poof of smoke at this point.
I'll continue daily-driving the Flame, I'll continue filing bugs and suggestions, and I'll likely continue to pull my hair out in frustration. Hopefully at some point all of my frustration will amount to something positive and I'll be able to whole-heartedly endorse this platform to other end-users and evangelize for it. Currently, that is not even a remote possibility.
Because we should be more principled and not support companies that pay no tax.
I wonder how many people are actually using FFOS as their only phone.
I have a ZTE Open, I am downloading and compiling FFOS builds once every few weeks, hack around just for fun.
But I have an Android for my daily use.
Based on the apps which mobile users are actively using, the 2018 trends in mobile app development can be determined. The patterns of app use and the popularity of the latest technology help in these predictions.
We are in the beginning of 2018. This is the time of year when iOS and Android developers review the analytical data of mobile app development to see what has gotten popular over the last 12 months. That way, they can see where the next app development trends in the app industry are likely going to be in 2018. If you want to understand what mobile app developers are going to be up to next year, you must first understand how dependent people currently are on their apps.
SMARTPHONE USERS AND THEIR LINK WITH MOBILE APPLICATIONS
Think about what you do throughout each day, from when you wake up in the morning until you go to sleep at night. Do you go on your favorite messenger app first thing in the morning? Perhaps you check your Facebook profile and other social media accounts through apps on your phone. You may later listen to your favorite music app on the way to work and then binge watch movies on Netflix at night. Each one of these actions represents an app you are using.
Furthermore, there are technologies trending which are being combined with these applications to create something totally revolutionary. How far are these mobile app development trends going to go in 2018? We at ANODA mobile development agency
1. MACHINE LEARNING AND AI (ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE) WILL DOMINATE IN 2018
Most of the popular mobile applications of today already have AI technology in them somewhere. Audiences love it when an app is intelligent enough to adapt to their input. But as AI continues to get more advanced in many other industries, it may very well put more people out of work because their labor will be performed by robots. One of the biggest job sectors to get hit hard over the next 10 years will be the customer service departments of companies.
Companies integrate Machine Learning and AI into their own apps because it increases their productivity and it lowers their total operating expenses. Not only has AI helped automate customer service, they’ve also made significant changes in the automobile industry as well as the healthcare industry.
Here are statistics which prove that AI apps are likely going to be the biggest 2018 trend in mobile app development.
According to Juniper Research, chatbots will save companies more than $8 billion per year between now and 2022. This is an increase from the $20 million that it was in 2017.
According to Gartner, chatbots are going to be responsible for 85% of the customer service performed by companies before 2020.
According to an IDC report, ¾ of all employees who are actively engaging with enterprise applications are going to get AI personal assistants to help boost their productivity and efficiency by the year 2019.
2. MORE PEOPLE USING MOBILE WALLETS
You will be seeing more developers creating mobile wallet apps with added security, due to the demand. This will allow users to conduct encrypted monetary transactions right through their mobile phone. The prediction of this trend is due to the increase in the number of internet booking systems and purchases. Apple Pay on the iOS 11 is working toward an option for peer-to-peer payment.
Tracking graphs can help you determine future trends in this area. The user adoption rate in 2016 showed a nonstop increase in the user percentage.
3. MORE CLOUD-BASED APPS
Storage space is often a problem for mobile phone users because they have so many applications that they want to download and use. Plus, when you use a lot of these apps, it adds even more data to your phone’s storage. All this data usage adds up quickly and then you’ll be forced to uninstall something to make up for it.
With cloud-based apps, this problem is solved because users can store their app data on a dedicated cloud server. By doing this, the storage space on their own phone is not used up. When you have multiple apps using this technology, it allows users to be able to download a lot more apps onto their phone than they could before.
After more companies integrate cloud technology into their apps, this will spark a rise in enterprise mobility. You can already see the statistics which show that cloud apps are being used more often.
Mobile traffic on cloud-based apps is expected to rise by 90% until the year 2019. The compound annual growth rate is 60%. The rise in traffic can likely be attributed to social media networking, web browsing, online gaming, audio streaming, and video streaming.
4. VIRTUAL REALITY AND AUGMENTED REALITY APPS WILL RISE IN 2018
There is already augmented reality technology integrated into social media apps and gaming apps. A good example is the very popular social media platform known as Snapchat, which uses this technology. As more people use Snapchat, it creates an incentive for mobile app development companies to develop AR technology for their apps.
Another social media app which uses this technology is Instagram. However, they’re already planning to enhance their app by making it even more engaging for users. They are likely going to make it just like other apps which allow users to interact with augmented reality technology. Also, virtual reality is going to be very popular as wearable apps become a more common thing.
In 2014, augmented reality was first starting to become popular. Ever since then, it has quickly found its way to the mobile app industry and is predicted to completely transform it in 2018. According to Statista, by 2019, there will be over 5 billion AR mobile applications.
5. TECHNOLOGY FASHION WILL BE BIG WITH WEARABLES
More people are using wearables than ever before. This technology first became popular within the healthcare niche because wearable apps allowed users to track their exercise routines, heartbeats, eating rituals, and so on. As these wearables become more fashionable in appearance, mobile app developers will be creating new apps for smartphones in 2018.
You will see the manufacturers of iPhones and Android smartphones creating applications for their phones which can synchronize and integrate with more wearable technology. Therefore, wearables are going to trend right along with mobile app development in the year 2018.
Here are some statistics for the wearables and smartphone markets:
Employers that encourage their employees to use wearables has increased their productivity by 8.5% and their job satisfaction by 3.5%.
In 2014, there were 29 million wearables that sold. In 2018, the number of sales is expected to go up to 172 million. That would mean there’d be roughly 350 million users around the world with wearables.
A report by Business Intelligence shows there will be a 35% increase in the wearables market by 2019.
6. GROWTH IN THE INTERNET OF THINGS
In 2017, the IoT technologies seemed to be placed in many different industries. But that doesn’t mean it can’t continue to trend to the point where you find internet-connected devices in virtually everything. Physical retail stores have even used the internet of things concept to compete in this new age of digital technology.
There are more real estate agencies and companies using this Internet of things technology to construct smart buildings, smart parking lots, and smart cities with sensors everywhere. In the education industry, there are more schools using the IoT technology to allow parents and teachers to connect with each other, so they know what is happening at home and at school.
The healthcare industry has used the internet of things technologies in many ways. It has allowed patients to talk with doctors remotely and for doctors to operate on patients and treat them remotely.
This mobile app development trend will keep going in 2018. You will see much more powerful IoT apps for people to use. Right now, there are researchers who want to integrate the internet of things technology with automation technology. It is predicted that this integration will be a big trend in mobile app development next year.
According to Cisco, there will be 50 billion mobile devices connected to the internet around the world by the year 2020.
7. ACCELERATED MOBILE PAGES
Faster mobile applications and websites are always going to be better. As users and search engines like Google become increasingly impatient towards these things, the rise of Accelerated Mobile Pages has emerged.
AMP has already allowed mobile users to load web pages quickly. Google has also stated that they’re going to provide mobile users with a special mobile search box to search for mobile-friendly websites. If businesses optimize their own websites to be mobile-friendly, they’ll get listed in this mobile search index on Google.
AMPs have the power to load pages quickly, reduce the number of bounces, attract more traffic, raise CTRs, and increase search engine ranking. You won’t even need to use sitemaps.
THE FUTURE
With the mobile app development world seeing all these new technologies, things certainly look brighter for iOS and Android apps in the future. The year of 2018 will see a huge boom in the mobile app industry, especially with very innovative apps which will keep people hooked to their smartphones.
“Talking about trends, especially in, there is huge fluctuation and invention goes that reveal in years”
Like for an example, if I talk about a current year (2018), there is the lot of trending things you can notice while you are exploring or surfing.

9. Changes in iPad Application
However, change in chipset process with every new development which affects the iPad app for more battery life.
Changes took place in the competitive world for survival. To survive in the market Apple regularly customizes and updates the application to get connected with customers.
Alexis Hale said:
App Store Optimization is one of the trends of 2018. It is some kind of process of improving the mobile apps’ visibility in an App Store. Just like Search Engine Optimization(SEO) is for websites, app store optimization is for mobile apps. To be specific, it includes the process of ranking apps via keyword search in an app store and pushes the app into top charts. With this method, apps will rank higher in search results and get into top charts, which will drive more installs.
Importance of ASO
Apparently, it is driving one important point here: ASO is extremely significant, because not only apps are big business, but also customers are willing to search for those apps. Some research reports that more than 63% of app customers prefer browsing in the app store to discover new apps.
Another reason why ASO is getting more important – apps can benefit from it a lot. You can optimize App via companies like KeenMobi or Mopeak.

You described the process without many words. Fully agree with you! ASO is an important part of any mobile app. It helps people to find your mobile application easier. Also, right ASO can attract more customers and make your mobile app more popular. The same picture with web-pages and sites, as It was described at the first comment.
Latest trends in mobile app development
Ever since the release of the first smartphone back in 1994, nobody predicted that smartphones will become such an integral part of everyone’s lives. At present, there are 2.1 billion mobile users worldwide, and the number is predicted to cross 5 billion by the end of 2019, according to a report by Statista.
People are spending more time online as smartphones now come with fast internet access. According to a recently conducted survey, the average Briton checks his/her mobile phone every 12 minutes while the average American spends almost 2.5 hours a day on a smartphone.
Another statistic by comScore Future Digital demonstrates that users spend 80-90% of their time on mobile apps rather than websites. This certainly proves that smartphones have a system of their own, different from computers & laptops. So, it won’t be wrong saying that mobile app development has become an effective way of reaching our potential prospects.
The biggest question that arises here is: What has 2019 in store for mobile app development? Let’s have a detailed look at the forthcoming trends that will rule the mobile app development world in 2019. So, without further ado, let’s get started!
1) Custom Mobile App
Although websites are designed to be mobile friendly and responsive, apps are easier to operate as they provide a better user experience. Customized mobile apps have gained a firm grip over the past few years, and in 2019, this trend is going to be at a higher peak.
Not only bigger companies like Amazon, Flipkart, and Alibaba are investing heavily in mobile apps but also smaller players are partnering actively with app makers to increase their customer base and user experience through mobile apps.
If you’re looking for a perfect mobile app that will take your business up a notch, then it’s always the best option to hire a reputed mobile app development company. Choosing the right firm could help you generate massive revenue as you tap newer markets.
2) Mobile Payments
When we talk about mobile payments, people nowadays are more comfortable and confident in making online transactions. If you want a successful payment gateway for your mobile app then you must have at least three or four methods of making payment online such as mobile wallets, credit or debit cards, net banking, gift cards, etc. Doing this could make you stand out among other players in the mobile app development industry.
3) Wearable Apps
According to CSS Insights latest forecast, the number of wearable devices will surpass 245 million units in 2019 from 85 million units in 2015. This certainly means that the wearable industry will worth USD33 billion by the end of 2019. Simply put, the demand for wearable has increased dramatically over the last few years, and there’s no sign of that impetus slowing down any time soon.
Presently, all wearable devices are synchronized with smartphones. So, the apps must be paired with each other. Wearable apps provide new opportunities but businesses must evolve to make the most of these opportunities. Currently, smartwatches and fitness gadgets are the most popular wearable apps than the others, but it is predicted that other apps will too catch up soon.
4) App Security
Below are some questions that might arise in your mind while installing an app on your smartphone:
• Will my private data be secure with this app?
• Can someone hack my data stored in the app?
• Will my data get misused?
• Does the app need my data?
• Will this app slow down my phone?
Mobile App Development Companies need to confront these complaints if they want their app to succeed. Nowadays, only those mobile apps succeed that ensure users that their information is protected, and their privacy is not compromised by any means.
5) Internet of Things
A network of interconnected smart devices is known as the Internet of Things. The above discussion states that smartphones need to be connected to wearable devices. IoT involves lots of sensors, software and special circuits built into other smart devices, which can be developed by mobile app developers.
The IoT market has been growing at a rapid pace and will reach USD457 billion by 2020, as per a report by GrowthEnabler. The increase in the number of IoT devices and networks will significantly increase the demand for feature-rich apps.
Summing Up
The mobile app development industry witness numerous interesting trends every year, and this year is also expected to be the same.
