Titanium Backup is updated with improvements, fixes and support for Android M

One of the biggest advantages of having the Android operating system on your terminal is the huge amount of ROMs and root user applications that exist, thanks to the community to develop all kinds of content to improve performance, range, adding more personalization and to alter the parameter, even perform full backups.


Regarding the latter, there is a well-known and useful as Titanium Backup, which this time updated to provide support and stability in Android 5.x Lollipop, plus the latest updates ROMs.

Titanium Backup has been updated to version 7.2.0, adding support for Android M, which is positioned as one of the first applications to support the latest version of the operating system, now in developer preview.


This is the highlight but not all, as we also find an easy way to remove tokens from Dropbox, Box or Google Drive, support for backup of the microSD card in the HTC One Max, copy IP address to clipboard TB Web Server, corrected errors in the API Box code, improved translations and other minor fixes and improvements.

That's surprising because these dates there's only a first preview of the next version of Android M and they have already added support for this. That shows they want to continue offering its implementation and prepare for the moment of truth, and when we start to see support on applications that perform root and it will be operational to squeeze all its functions, mainly to back up on an easy way to all our data and applications.


In the coming weeks and months we should be seeing as the rest, so go root as adding M also supports Android, which is essential if you want to provide good experience and stability to error code compatibility for both.

Android M strengthens the validation checks of APKs

There are changes that are obvious and nothing changes on your phone or tablet, such as those affecting the interface, and others which are evident as you use the device, such as improvements in battery management, very importants. Still others go virtually unnoticed but indirectly affect, as the latter has been discovered in the Android M preview strengthens the monitoring of APKs.


With the arrival of the new version of Android, the APKs climbing on Google Play will be checked to ensure that files containing match what declared in the manifest to ensure that none are missing, something that happens now with Lollipop. If this test is failed, a new manifesto will be required, which means a new signature for the APK.

This way Google can control better if someone alters the APK files so that users may expose security or privacy.


This Google bet on strengthening control over what can go inside in your digital shopping is great news, because until now their attitude in this regard left much to be desired, as sometimes has been unable to find malware on Google Play, and it took years in curbing false applications masquerading as others to achieve success and throw downloads ads, plus the ease and impunity with which some pirates climbed Play Books stranger to content to earn money off the work of others.


Perhaps it goes too slowly, but the Mountain View are improving in this respect. Hopefully this will be only the first step and that soon we will see a much safer Play Store free of piracy than it is now certainly the most improved aspect of the Android environment.
