GREAT personalization Apps For Android© by liljboy(m): 9:04pm On Mar 31, 2015 |
One of the main reasons android is such a popular operating system is the system wide level of customization that is offered. If you own an android phone or tablet then there seems to be almost no limit to how much or what can be customized. This level customization grows even more when you start to enter the rooted or custom world, with the smallest of details being able to be customization. First things first.... LAUNCHERS. Third party launchers have exploded in a couple of years. The good ones got better and there have been a number of new players that stepped up to the table. With so many more options, which ones are the best? Here are the best Android launcher apps! Nova and Apex are the two look-alike Android launchers – both strike an excellent balance between having enough features to customise things, without bogging you down with unfeasibly long options lists and 17 levels of sub-menu hell. Nova's arguably the better of the two, with a few more options available in the free version (there is also a Prime version ) you can set up your screen as simple as this.

there is one small customization that android device owners can employ which does offer a much wider visual difference. These are icon packs. Although, a lot of custom users will already be well versed with icon packs, it is worth providing a quick introduction for those making their way over to android and those making their way over to a new launcher or ROM. recommended ICON PACKS ARE : BLAWB AND DCIKONZ http://m.apkhere.com/app/com.czarnomorski.theme.dcikonz

Yahoo Aviate Launcher Yahoo snapped up Aviate in the early stages of its development, and it's turned into one of the best contextually-aware launchers available. Aviate collects apps together based on different activities, and will then suggest items that you're likely to use. By telling Aviate your home and work location it'll know which apps to offer when you're in those locations. Heading to the office? The moment you leave the house, Aviate will offer navigation apps and anything else you regularly use on your journey, such as Spotify. Another example: at night, Aviate will give you shortcuts to set an alarm, see the next day's weather forecast, or put your phone into 'do not disturb' mode. It's not the most customisable launcher out there, but Aviate is a smart, simple and effective personal assistant. http://m.apkhere.com/app/com.tul.aviate |

NOW THIS IS THE BEST PART. FOR ME, THIS IS THE BEST LAUNCHER SO FAR WHEN IT COMES TO PIMPING UP YOUR SCREEN BUZZ LAUNCHER "Don't like your home screen? Use someone else's." . . *Over 500,000 Homepacks that you can use to customize your home screen. *Totally free with no in app purchases. *You can get the Buzz Widget add on and create your own widgets. *Extremely unique premise that allows you to customize your home screens unlike any other launcher on this list. http://m.apkhere.com/app/com.buzzpia.aqua.launcher There are certainly more powerful launchers out there, but if you're all about matching the colour of your shoelaces to your cravat (and don't have an iPhone), then this is probably the launcher for you. #ilovethisapp

[/color] Are you tired of looking at the same, boring screen every time you wake up your phone from sleep? That screen is called the lockscreen — because most users require a password or gesture to unlock access to the device — and it can be easily customized. Are you ready to breathe new life into your phone? |

Start Formerly known as Active Lockscreen, Start has really earned itself a large and loyal following. It’s sleek, classy, and packed full of features that make it a strong choice for an “all-in-one” lockscreen; in other words, it allows you to perform many different actions directly from the lockscreen itself. On the left, there’s a sidebar that lets you manage all of your social media feeds. RSS, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter — you name it, you can keep up with it. At the bottom, there’s a ring selector that you can use to launch apps. The ring has no limit on the number of apps it can support. The interface is intuitive and straightforward. All of this goodness comes with minimal power requirements as the developers have spent a lot of care in making sure that Start is not a burden on your device. ON PLAY STORE

Yes, Android smartphones are great, they run various apps and whatnot, but let's not forget that the word “phone” still has a prominent presence in their names. Although we are texting or using a given app way more often that we use our smartphones to call, this doesn't mean that one should turns it back to the fundamental feature that initially kickstarted mobile phones as a whole. Instead, the abundance of customization options in Android should be viewed as a blessing, as it allows fans of the platform to use a third-party dialer app. Frankly said, the plethora of users surely use their stock dialer app and never bother to look for a replacement on the Play Store, but this doesn't mean that the more tech-savvy ones should resort to sticking with the default dialing tool. With this in mind, we decided to check out what are some of the more refined, polished, and feature-rich dialer apps for Android. Check them out below and feel free to comment and share your thoughts on the matter. if you are tired of this stock version, let's ride 1 Like 1 Share

ExDialer - Dialer & Contacts This is one of the more popular dialer apps that are available for Android devices. It flaunts a pretty impressive bag of features along with it, including a T9 algorithm for predicting contact entries, support for more than 30 different languages, smooth performance, swipe to call/ text (similar to Samsung's TouchWiz), and most notably, support for different plugins and themes (you can even snatch a nifty Material Design theme). The latter would probably appeal to those who like to customize each and every section of their smartphones. 1 Like

Lazy Swipe deploys from the left or right bottom corner of your screen in any situation. You can use it or a number of things including opening frequently accessed apps. It can be used to find and open newly installed apps or a recently used app. Lazy Swipe can also turn settings like WiFi and Bluetooth on and off. The app was updated recently and gained some new features and tweaks. It was optimized for memory consumption and a bug affecting the launcher and non- full screen apps was fixed.
