HarmonyOS will outperform Android in performance and reliability. China has already started teaching HarmonyOS at universities
According to official figures, HarmonyOS programming technology has begun to be taught at Wuhan University. The lecturer is Zhao Xiaogang, Lecturer, Department of Software Engineering, School of Computer Science, Wuhan University.
According to Dr. Zhao, he received an email from Huawei discussing the possibility of opening courses at Wuhan University. In April of this year, Huawei sent him a smartphone with HarmonyOS 2.0. According to Dr. Zhao, the visuals and working methods are very similar to the Android system. However, he claims that HarmonyOS is faster than Android and has better battery life. Some tools are based on HarmonyOS, but common apps like WeChat, QQ, Taobao, and Alipay still use Android. In other words, the whole system can be fully compatible with Android software. So the full transition from Android to HarmonyOS will be smooth.
He added that HarmonyOS is not a shell for Android, but Huawei decided to make HarmonyOS look like Android due to its ease of user adoption.
At this stage, the similarity of HarmonyOS to Android can be considered a temporary measure. Huawei has partnered with more than 300 domestic enterprises, and more native HarmonyOS applications have come to the market. Over time, after these applications have a higher degree of alignment with the Hongmeng system, users will be able to experience what HarmonyOS stands for and what performance improvements it brings. I think that in the future, HarmonyOS will surpass Android in performance and reliability.

Popular Action Launcher Android skin gets more free features

Action Launcher is a fairly popular shell for the Android operating system among paid ones. The developers have released Action Launcher v50, which has many more free features for those who do not want to pay for such features.
The app has gone through a lot of improvements over the years to keep up with some of the key improvements made by Google. However, in recent times there has been more and more criticism that the free basic version had a minimum number of features.
The Action Launcher’s implementation of the Freemium system has historically been terrible. We pushed people too aggressively to buy the Plus upgrade, which turned off so many people, and the app was hardly interesting for non-paying users.

Action Launcher v50 is suitable for everyone whether you pay or not. The new version offers an improved search engine that uses the Pixel Launcher. Action search gives you the best results on the web and on your device, as well as some action launcher settings that can be toggled right from the home screen.
In addition to action search and other free features, the action launcher’s own settings are changed. The app adds a settings search bar as well as shortcuts to recently changed settings.
