This week Alin Jerpelea, well known from CyanogenMod's FreeXperia team, joins Sony's Developer Program. Alin will work on AOSP for Xperia and other open source projects. To learn more, check out our post about Alin Jerpelea on Developer World.
Also, if you're in the Tel Aviv area, come learn the latest about Android development, and meet us at Droidcon Tel Aviv on June 11-12. Here you can also meet several members of the Developer World team to talk about app development, SDKs and more.
Another sought-after update will soon come to the Camera Remote API beta, as it will be updated with new supported cameras and more API features for a number of already supported cameras. Read more about the coming Camera Remote API update on Sony Developer World!

Develop clocks and widgets for SmartWatch 2

With the latest update of the Sony Add-on SDK, you can now develop clocks and widgets for the SmartWatch 2 watch face, by using the new Widget API. Users can also customise their own watch faces with the new watch face editor. Learn how to use the new SmartWatch 2 Widget API on Developer World Mobile!


	Add Active Low Power Mode to your SmartWatch 2 app

SmartWatch 2 developers just got a useful possibility to make your apps more energy efficient by using the new Active Low Power Mode. In this mode, the screen backlight is turned off, content is displayed in greyscale, but the app can still react to interaction and update the content. Learn how to use it in our Active Low Power Mode tutorial on Developer World Mobile!

Gamify the smartphone UI with EvolutionUI

If you want a glimpse of an experimental UI, you should check out EvolutionUI, an internal research project that is available as open source project. EvolutionUI gamifies the smartphone UI, as more features will be unlocked as you learn how to use the smartphone. Learn all about EvolutionUI, and how to access it, on Developer World Mobile.
