All Android firmware are divided into two types:

1. Official. They are supplied directly by smartphone manufacturers and are usually only suitable for a certain brand. Such programs are considered the most reliable, so they should be used whenever possible.
2. Unofficial (custom). Are being developed Android users devices and small firms. They are applied when Android is reinstalled on Chinese devices (for example, Lenovo, Meizu, Xiaomi, etc.).

When using custom software, there is a possibility of installing a low-quality update, as a result of which the gadget will start to slow down even more. Therefore, you need to download the executable file only after reading its description in detail and reading user reviews.

The functionality of the installed software largely depends on its version and assembly. To new firmware after some time did not start to conflict with the hardware, you need to find out serial number mobile device:

We will consider a more detailed procedure for updating Android on a phone using the example of Samsung and Lenovo, although this instruction also suitable for many other brands.

Smartphone firmware from Samsung

Android OS appeared relatively recently, and we all remember how raw and inconvenient it was. Developers are not sitting idly by! Today, many users have a great opportunity to download Android 5.0 firmware for free for different smartphones and tablets, and then quickly update your device.

Differences between start and latest version The OS is, of course, huge. Google for a long time did not pay attention to the appearance of Android, with the tacit consent of allowing manufacturers to create their own appearance applications.

Main functions

material design

The lack of a standard interface created a number of additional problems. The experts at Google have decided to make a profound change to the Android interface that is simply necessary. Thanks to this, the idea of ​​​​Material Design was realized, unifying all Google services and products.

Lock screen and application menu

Now, in order to view notifications or disable data transfer, you do not need to unlock your smartphone, as was the case in earlier versions. In Android 5.0, the lock screen is designed in such a way that the user has easy access to notifications, to the extent that you can write a response in blocking mode, which greatly simplifies the use of the device.

The updated menu makes it easy to work with applications, both system and user-installed, which are located in one place. Application icons are displayed on a light background, so menu navigation has become much easier.

User change

Special attention should be paid to such an option as a user manager. The function is very relevant for family tablets, which are used by all family members. Each user can have a separate Account. By switching between accounts, using one gadget becomes more convenient for a group of people.

Alert panel

The notification panel has undergone global changes, now, when it drops out, it does not close the main screen, because it is made translucent. In conditions of multitasking using a smartphone, this feature will be an additional plus for ease of use.

Settings

After the installation is done, you will see that the improvements in the settings menu are not so global, you will not find any special differences: all the same icons, all the same functions. The exception is additional function"Contactless payment" - a section designed for mobile payments.

Extra options

Smartphone, calendar and clock

In voice calls, by default, quick calls. Contact lists, as well as the call log, you will find if you scroll to the right. Changes to the calendar consists in adding an option to it that displays the schedule. You will see the calendar and all events in one feed.

The application standardly contains local and world time, a timer, an alarm clock, and a stopwatch. Here you can configure turning off the display of time on the display at night, saving a little battery, the setting is called “night mode”.

Contacts, photo and keyboard

The address book is a list of contacts arranged in alphabetical order. The "Favorites" tab allows you to create an additional short list of the numbers that are most important to you.

The way Lollipop snapshots are stored is inextricably linked to Google+; photos can be saved to cloud storage Google. At the automatic level, the program will edit the pictures, it is possible to create interactive and animated albums consisting of a series of photographs. But everything has changed in the keyboard: the interface as a whole, the design of the buttons, the animation when pressing the keys, the vibration response.

Google Fit

In the updated OS, you will find a pedometer from Google - Google Fit. The program will count the steps, show the average speed, display the number of calories burned, but also allow you to systematize and save the results of training and various health information.
