Funtouch OS is a flexible and user-friendly shell that vivo installs on its smartphones. The manufacturer is constantly improving the proprietary launcher. The current twelfth version of the OS has received a number of improvements and system optimizations. Changed the application menu, redrawn the curtain, added widgets and much more. Finding out why the updated interface is interesting.
Funtouch OS 12 is like a pure Android version that many consider to be the benchmark for usability. At the same time, the vivo interface allows you to customize the workspace in more detail. In the options, you can choose the style of organizing applications - on the home screen or separately. The display grid is also easy to change so that the home screen displays a comfortable number of icons for the user: 4x6 or 5x6.
It is convenient to move program shortcuts either one by one or in a group. Of course, you can download themes to change the appearance of the icons and the colors of the system. And in order not to reach out to the notification curtain every time, it's easier to put a checkmark in the settings. So the panel will be pulled out only after the owner of the gadget swipes down from the center of the screen.
10 useful shell functions of Funtouch OS 12
Widgets
Funtouch OS 12 has given a lot of attention to widgets. They were moved to a more convenient place - in the applications menu. There, it is easier to find them and familiarize yourself with all the available options.
There are also new widgets. The mini version of the music player automatically enlarges on the desktop when you click - you can select tracks from local storage or Spotify. Redrawn widgets for displaying weather, viewing photos and your own notes.
IManager Smart Assistant
iManager lets you monitor device health, from performance and battery consumption to security management. Now there is no need to download separate cleaners and antiviruses - the utility itself can clean the cache and scan the system. There is even a separate function for deep cleaning WhatsApp.
The smart assistant now has an option to protect software. To protect personal information, it is enough to set an additional password to launch important programs.
Smart gestures
Funtouch OS 12 has a lot of gesture related settings. For example, to activate the device, it is enough to double-tap the screen. And double tapping on the included display will block the gadget. If you draw the letter M, the camera will start, F - Facebook. Such manipulations greatly simplify interaction with the phone.
Google software
The vivo company is gradually abandoning its own applications, giving preference to the services of the "corporation of good". The developers have replaced the personalized Jovi Home screen with the Google Now bar. Utilities for making calls and sending SMS have come under the knife - Google software is used instead. And the Family Link program has replaced the proprietary parental control preset.
Manage notifications
There is a complete order with setting up notifications. For example, you can hide silent pushes from applications so that they do not clutter up the status bar. You can activate the screen to turn on when you receive messages, as well as choose one of the display options - with plain text or hidden. The last option is useful if you don't want someone to accidentally read a confidential message on a locked smartphone.
In the parameters there is a notification history that allows you to view all messages for a certain time. Convenient if you accidentally brushed off a push and you can't find it yourself. There is an option for pop-up chats: you can reply to a letter in the messenger in a floating window. When a message arrives, the counter on the icons is displayed as a dot or numbers - this parameter is also adjustable.
Dynamic effects
The shell offers many colorful animations to accompany various events. Of course, the creators of Funtouch OS gave users a choice of effects. It is easy to change the display of almost every action. From face or fingerprint recognition to gadget shutdown animation. In short, a real gift for those who like to customize everything for themselves.
Always on display
In models with AMOLED screens, there is an Always on Display function. Users have access to many options for clock widgets, images, fonts and other chips to customize the locked screen. You can adjust the colors of the text on an inactive display. In addition, some screensavers can change depending on the time of day.
Expanding RAM
Funtouch OS is able to increase the amount of RAM in smartphones using memory pooling technology. This chip increases RAM due to the built-in storage. It makes the system smoother and eliminates stuttering. The function must be activated in the settings by going to the "RAM and memory size" section.
Easy touch
Easy Touch (aka touch button) is a side pop-up key that provides quick access to programs and some functions. A number of proprietary utilities run in a small floating window on top of other applications. For example, it is convenient to open the calculator without closing the page in the browser.
The user independently chooses the software that will be included in the quick menu. Another button can be used as an additional way to control the gadget. Easy Touch, depending on the gestures, allows you to exit the application, open the desktop and even lock the smartphone. All options are flexibly adjustable.
Outcomes
Funtouch OS 12 provides more options than many alternative skins. It works quickly and smoothly, offers detailed customization of the interface and provides an impressive set of options that extend the functions of the standard Android OS. Small but useful features of the twelfth version will greatly simplify the life of many users.
