A New Era for Tizen : Introducing Our Enhanced Home Experience and Optimized System UI Apps
Written by
We are thrilled to unveil the future of the Tizen experience on our latest Tizen IoT-Headed devices!
This update isn’t just about a new look; it’s a fundamental reimagining of how you interact with your device, built from the ground up for superior performance, intuitive control, and a seamless user journey.
We have also leveraged the power of the Tizen Extension Library to optimize core system applications, ensuring a smoother, more efficient experience across the board.
Here’s what you can look forward to:
The All-New Home
Our new Home is a significant leap forward in design and functionality. We set out to create an interface that is not only more aesthetically pleasing but also incredibly practical for everyday use and an ideal environment for app development and testing.
Feather-Light Performance with Flutter Tizen
One of the most exciting aspects of our new Home is that it’s built with Flutter! This modern UI toolkit allows us to deliver a natively compiled, visually stunning application that is highly optimized for performance and memory usage.
This means a smoother experience, even on entry-level devices with limited resources, making our new home accessible to more users than ever before.
Intuitive, All-in-One Control
We’ve consolidated essential functionalities into a single, cohesive Home app, offering an intuitive interface for managing your device:
- Apps: Effortlessly browse your installed applications. Launch your favorites with a tap, or easily manage your digital life by uninstalling apps you no longer need.
- Media: Your photos and videos are now front and center. The integrated media player allows you to view and play your visual content directly from the Home screen without needing separate applications.
- Settings: Quick access to essential device settings like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, language, time, and storage management. Adjust your device preferences without digging through complex menus.
- Notifications: A dedicated space to review and manage all your system alerts, ensuring you stay informed and in control of your digital life.
This unified approach provides a streamlined user experience that just makes sense.
Optimzied System UI Apps with Tizen Extension Library
To further enhance the platform’s capabilities and maximize development efficiency, we’ve improved our core system applications Taskbar and Volume using the robust Tizen Extension Library.
Tizen Extension Library is the modern standard for Tizen app development, offering consistent, standalone libraries that are key to improving app performance and developer productivity.
Tizen.UI: Lightweigtht UI Components and Layouts
These revamped system apps are developed using Tizen Extension Library UI (Tizen.UI) components and enhanced layouts. This brings several benefits:
- Improved User Experience: We utilize production-level UI components to provide a responsive, high-quality interface that meets modern design standards.
- Performance Optimization: By leveraging optimized Tizen.UI libraries, these apps run smoother and consume fewer resources.
- Transparent Development: The codebase for these improvements is easily referenceable, providing a great learning resource for developers looking to build efficient, modern Tizen .NET applications.
The Future is Here
This update is more than just a new coat of paint. It represents our commitment to providing a faster, more efficient, and user-friendly Tizen experience for everyone.
This innovative platform is now accessible on the Tizen 10.0 emulator and Raspberry Pi 4(RPI4), offering a seamless and cutting-edge home experience.
