Android 5.0 “Key Lime Pie” UI, Hitting the Web
Android 5.0 “Key Lime Pie” UI, Hitting the Web
Google to introduce a new interface for the OS. It will still be called Jelly Bean and nothing too crazy will happen. What most in the business have their money on is that we can expect to see Google change up Android’s look in the iteration after next, being Android 5.0 “Key Lime Pie.” That’s when we will see some new colors, icons, wallpapers, etc. take place.
Graphic designers appear to be already creating their very own concepts for what they would like to see in Android 5.0, playing more with lockscreen widgets and revising the Android homescreen look. Artist Jinesh Shah took to his Google+ page recently to post up a few pictures of his own ideas, some of which we have become big fans of. While it comes off as minimal and clean, there is enough information on any given homescreen and the lockscreen to give off the sense that this concept would be highly functional and practical for users.
The lockscreen widget shows a comprehensive look at this user’s upcoming meeting, even showing a map preview of its location. Below that, we can see upcoming flight details, all of which would be able to be customized under new settings that would come with KLP. As for the homescreen changes, what sets this concept apart from others is the idea of “hidden” widgets. With swipes and other gestures, you could reveal other widgets that don’t necessarily have to be on your homescreen when not being used. It’s a fantastic concept, one that we probably wouldn’t mind seeing implemented.

While that doesn't come as too much of a surprise, the website has learnt that Android 5.0 will be optimized for all devices, including those with as little as 512MB of RAM. If true, this sees Google trying to handle ongoing Android fragmentation and taking a leaf out of Apple's book, with iOS 7 set to arrive on the iPhone 5, iPhone 4S and the iPhone 4.
According to the report, Google will first release an Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update in late August ahead of the bump to Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie, which will have support for low-energy Bluetooth connectivity and Open GL 3D graphics.
