Nova launcher has been my launcher of choice for quite some time when it comes to a third party launcher. This is the easiest way to clean up your homescreen and get rid of OEM skins like Touchwiz and Sense giving your device more of a stock feel. There is a basic free version of this launcher...

ES File Explorer made some folks pretty upset a while back when they decided to add some sneaky adware to their free software. Most people who download free apps expect some sort of ad integration. How else would app developers survive. However the expectation is for an indiscreet ad placement...

Gesture Controls on Motorola devices are pretty awesome. They allow you to do things like launch your flash light with the flick of your wrist. You no longer have to specifically buy a Motorola device to get Moto Actions working on your device. Previously the only way to add these types of...

A batman inspired app by "Yu-Chih Tung" uses sonar to bring 3D Touch to any smartphone device. The inspiration for "ForcePhone" comes from the scene in Christopher Nolan's film when Batman turns phones in Gotham City into Sonar Systems allowing for a 3D live map. This was an ah-ha moment for...

A cell phone is a private place much like a purse or wallet. On your phone you have all kinds of sensitive and private info like credit card and financial information. You likely also have personal private conversations and photos. In many cases the things on your phone are for your eyes only...

I love Nexus devices because you get Android in it's purest form on these devices. As much as OEMs have worked towards slimming down their skin overlays they still do their best to set their devices apart with their own versions of Google's apps. Lots of times their own versions of apps like the...

The HTC 10 should be slapped directly into a case. The metal back can stand up to most light scratching, but won't be able to stand up to some scenarios like meeting the pavement, or asphalt. The Ice View Case for the HTC 10 is the next generation of the Dot View case. Themes and apps for this...

Virtual Reality has always seemed to be Unicorn on a Gum Drop mountain. It was never really attainable. We finally have the computing power, and the hardware to finally make VR viable. Many tech companies today are envisioning a world where our Virtual lives are as important as our Reality...

JCase and TheRoot.Ninja team have released S-Off for the HTC 10 prior to the phone's release! For now the app will only S-Off your HTC 10. You will still need to unlock the bootloader using the HTCdev website. This is still big news as S-Off allows you to flash whatever you like to the phone...

A few days ago Fenix, a very popular 3rd party twitter app, was removed from the Play Store. The reason why is the app ran out of tokens. Twitter has a ridiculous policy where they only allow 3rd party twitter apps to have 100,000 users registered. This is to discourage everyone from leaving the...

But its free how could I possibly be stealing? This is they grey area that causes people to do things like go to the piratebay to download the latest episode of the Simpsons or ShowBox to stream the latest episode of The Flash. I mean if I can record it for free on my VCR why is it illegal to...

I gave up on 3rd party twitter clients years ago. For the longest time I used Twidroyd. At the time the official twitter app was a pile of junk which is why so many 3rd party clients sprung up in the early days. Pretty soon we were starting to seem some pretty amazing 3rd party clients like...

Huawei has done a pretty decent job with their in house version of Android "EMUI". For the most part the UI is unobtrusive and runs quite smoothly on highly speced devices. Today Huawei announced they would be bringing an app from EMUI to the Play Store. It isn't uncommon for OEMs to upload...

TheRoot.Ninja just released an update for the SunShine S-Off/Bootloader Unlock tool! This brings SunShine up to version 3.3. This update specifically includes the S-Off and Bootloader Unlock for the Verizon HTC One M9 on the latest firmware. With this you will be able to easily root your M9...

Isn't it such a drag to return to an app just to have to scroll forever to get to new updates. The Kinetic Scroll app allows you to scroll through content automatically through content with a simple swipe of two fingers. There is a dynamic mode which when enabled will scroll through feeds at...

More than likely VR is the next big thing in gaming. Sony is getting ready to release their own VR system for playstation, Oculus has just released their system for PC, and Samsung's Gear VR is really picking up steam. As VR progresses you will more than likely be on the lookout for some...

Some of the lesser known foreign phones are the worst at bogging down an already low memory device with bloatware. One of the most popular types of apps you'll find on these devices is a Ram Cleaning app. On these devices that normally only have 1-2GB of ram these apps can actually be relatively...

Samsung has decided to put together their own dedicated music app. They have already made the app available for download in the Play Store. Initially the app was only compatible for the S7 and S7 edge. The Music app was also in Beta upon initial release. It appears that Samsung is getting...

Google has just announced a change to the appearance of the Google Play app icons. This will be specifically for the Play Store, Play Movies, Play Music, Play Games, Play Books, and Play Newsstand. The changes to the icons will give them a more unified look. These icons scream PLAY STORE! The...

So I was about to do a lot of typing on my phone tonight, and so I installed the Wifi Keyboard app in google play store. (WiFi Keyboard - Android Apps on Google Play). So I changed the input method to wifi keyboard after the thing installed. Unfortunately, due to my stupidity I closed my phone...
