Android 5.0.2 Lollipop Nexus 7

Good news, Asus fans! Your Nexus 7 2012/2013 Mobile version gets Android 5.0.2 Lollipop right now. We don’t know if there’s an OTA rollout too, but the Android 5.0.2 Lollipop factory images are available for Nexus 7 2012/2013 Mobile tablets on Google Developers. Last year, Nexus 7 2012 and 2013 Wi-Fi versions got the taste of Android 5.0 Lollipop and later updated to Android 5.0.2 Lollipop. You might ask yourself what’s new on Android 5.0.2 Lollipop in comparison with Android 5.0 version? Well, the latest version has some bug fixes, performance improvements and many other background fixes.

Android 5.0.2 Lollipop will bring on your Nexus 7 tablets a whole new experience with a new UI (Material Design), new lockscreen where you can view and respond to messages directly, Priority Mode, new Quick Settings (flashlight, hotspot, screen rotation, cast screen controls), easy toogle on/off for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Location. Also from Quick Settings you can manually adjust your brightness for any condition, like adaptive brightness. Moreover, you’ll have up to 4x performance improvements, new animations, new task manager and I’ll stop here because you should update your tablet right now and discover all the features.

You can download Android 5.0.2 Lollipop factory images for Nexus 7 2012 Mobile here and for Nexus 7 2013 Mobile here. The update process isn’t as easy as OTA is, so you might think twice before you do something wrong. You’ll need a software in order to install the update on your Nexus 7 tablet, so my advice is using Nexus Root Toolkit (download). Proceed to update only if you know what are you doing!

If you have installed the update on your Nexus 7 2012/2013 Mobile, tell us what you think so far in a comment below.

If Not Already Clear, Elder Scrolls 6 Will Skip PlayStation

Despite Microsoft’s acquisition of Bethesda, The Elder Scrolls 6 was not confirmed as an Xbox exclusive a few months ago. This happened because Xbox executive Phil Spencer indicated that target platforms hadn’t been selected yet, but it always felt like he was talking about the game being years away rather than the RPG being on PlayStation.

If you’re still holding out, Microsoft plans to release The Elder Scrolls 6 just on Xbox and PC. Documents from the company’s FTC lawsuit were recently released. In the document, Bethesda’s announced titles (both as a publisher and developer) are listed, and The Elder Scrolls 6 is listed for Xbox, PC, and nothing else.

We expected this, but The Elder Scrolls 6 was announced before Microsoft acquired its developer. The Elder Scrolls is a beloved franchise that’s been on various platforms for generations, so this isn’t Starfield.

However, the game isn’t due until 2026 at the earliest, according to the paper, and who knows what the gaming landscape will be like then.

Xbox Nearly Flashed Warner Bros Cash, Sees Nintendo as Holy Grail

Xbox CEO Phil Spencer’s mid-2020 dystopian email suggests the business was interested in buying Warner Bros Interactive and Bethesda. Even more alarming, the CEO calls buying Nintendo a “career moment” and “good for both companies” — and there are even rumors that Microsoft was interested in Valve.

While Spencer warns that acquiring Nintendo would be “hostile action” but “playing the long game”, the unprecedented corporate convergence is shockingly casual. He added: “Nintendo is taking a long time to realize their future is off their hardware. A long time… He even ended the chat with a smiling emoji to make it look more evil.

Spencer claims that Warner Bros Interactive was “gettable” when Microsoft was rumored to acquire it. He adds that “we wouldn’t own any of the IP which hurts long-term flexibility”. Because most Warner Bros Interactive developers work on franchises like Batman, Harry Potter, and others, the studios are worth little without the brands.

The email is over three years old, but it reveals Microsoft’s blasé approach to acquisitions and its goals. While its eventual acquisition of Activision Blizzard may have changed its plans, this leaked exchange suggests that Microsoft will not stop until it has absorbed as much of the industry as possible, even targeting Nintendo.

Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivor director Stig Asmussen is leaving Respawn Entertainment for unknown reasons. Asmussen had planned a trilogy for Cal Kestis, but it appears another author will need to write it.

Bloomberg reports that an EA spokesperson said: “Stig Asmussen has left Respawn to pursue other adventures, and we wish him the best. Veteran Respawn leaders will lead Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.”

This move is surprising, but Asmussen leaves on a high note. Jedi: Survivor is a great game despite its performance issues, which is rare for a Star Wars game. We’ll see where Asmussen goes, but we’re excited.
