Tizen ported on to Samsung Galaxy SII HD (VIDEO)

The Linux-based operating system Tizen is trying to grab public attention through a series of events in  order to maintain an interest for this interesting open-source alternative to mobile platforms on the market.Recently we have seen the first prototype of Samsung smartphone based on Tizen , then the release of OS 1.0 SDK   and the recent was the developers conference. Also we have shown video of Tizen compatibility with existing Android applications and we have another video showing another interesting aspect of the operating system, or the ability to work on some already existing Android smartphones.

The protagonist of the video below, made ​​during the Tizen Developer Conference, is the Samsung Galaxy SII  HD , the version of the Samsung S2 Galaxy sold in Korea.The smartphone has been  used to demonstrate some features of the operating system Tizen  as the section of the gallery, calls and video management. 

Enjoy:

The compatibility of the platform with some Tizen Android device from Samsung is at least encouraging, at least from the perspective of developers. It will be interesting if in the future, thanks to the community of independent developers, you can try out the new mobile platform Android on devices like the Galaxy S2.

Tizen OS supports Android applications (Video)

Tizen , the open source operating system based on Linux that will focus on a comprehensive support for HTML5  is a work in growth and development although it is far from a definitive form continues thanks to the collaboration of Intel and Samsung with the support of Linux Foundation, the undisputed giants in a position to influence the market, Samsung has already shown that the specific number of devices based on OS Tizen during the recent "Tizen developer conference."

A few months ago was released the development kit SDK 1.0 but the problem princpale is currently focused on making the operating system attractive for developers to create a park applications that can come into competition with the major mobile OS.

To facilitate the growth of the system, the company Open Mobile has developed a solution called ACL (Application compatibility layer) that promises to be able to run Android applications in emulation of OS Tizen, posting a video on this matter where you look at the use of ' Native Facebook app for Android on a tablet called ExoPC , previously seen in the last MWC 2012.

Despite the fluidity of the application is noticeably low, we can see that actually being performed, leaving large openings about the optimization of a system that could prove interesting. ACL will be able, thanks to a modified kernel, to run according to developers, Android applications like a natively compatible device, combining strong performance with HTML5. It remains to be seen how Samsung will push in this direction in a market largely dominated by iPhone OS and Android to avoid the same disappointing Meego results.

Developer device running Tizen OS hands-on treatment (Video)

The new operating system developed by Samsung together with Intel, better known as Tizen,  continues its process of development and after seeing some tests in recent months and the first screenshot a few days ago.Now appeared the first hands-on video of a prototype of Tizen Phone that shows us for the first time the system in motion. 

From the video that we reported below we can notice obvious similarities with the interface TouchWiz although the positioning system of applications is virtually identical to the homescreen of IOS. Even Tizen adopts a top bar displayed by sliding your finger down inside where we find the shortcut keys for Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, autorotation, etc...

Top left is always present in every home screen a button that instantly returns to the homescreen.

In the prototype shown by the developer can not fail to note the presence of a single hardware button nestled round the bottom of the chassis, used as a sort of built-in system task manager, but that could change over the next developments in both functionality and As adoption of the hardware buttons.

Although it was not possible to conduct further tests of performance, the browser has the best record for a mobile device in a HTML5 sign optimization that Samsung wanted to put on the Internet navigation.
