As you guys know, many phones are getting the update for Android Marshmallow. Here's a quick update on what you guys should know about the best features on the upcoming OS.
Well, if you're a lucky Nexus user you will already have it!
Show battery percentage: You have the option to show the battery percentage in the battery icon at all times. (Most third-party skins have this as a default option.) For that to work, first enable the System Tuner.
Here's how's:
Hidden within the settings in Marshmallow is a nifty new UI tuner that lets you switch about some of the options in the quick-settings bar. To enable this, drag down the notification panel, hold down the cog until it spins and a little message pops-up. Then head into Settings, scroll to the bottom and tap System UI tuner.
Ambient display: A feature of Android Wear and Motorola devices, it's now on Android 6.0. Head into Settings > Display and you'll be able to glance at monochrome notifcations.
Quick launch the camera: (Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P only) Head into Settings > Display and there's the option to quick launch the camera with a double press of the standby button. It's much faster than unlocking your phone and hitting the icon. Still slower than the double click home button on Samsung but a nifty upgrade nonetheless!
Play Flappy Android: Marshmallow's Easter Egg is an Android take on Flappy Bird, as it was in Lollipop. Head into Settings > About phone/tablet > Android version. Then tap the Android version repeatedly until it changes to the Marshmallow screen. Once you have the full Marshmallow wording visible, press and hold. You'll flip into the Flappy Android game. Enjoy!
Now on Tap: Just press and hold the home button. If you're looking for the settings, go into Google Now > Settings > Now cards and you can enable or disable Now on Tap.
Native file explorer: There's now a file explorer in Android. Head to Settings > Storage & USB and scroll to the bottom of the list. Tap Explore and you can view folders, open files, delete and share.
