[APK] Sony Xperia Z2 Live Wallpaper Ported

Sony Xperia Z2 is the new flagship from Sony, brings up alot of new stuff including a slick wallpaper, which as you might expect, has been ported and is available to all Android users. Does not require root to work!

 

The wallpaper looks very cool. It does not move by default, only if you move your finger, though is relatively "heavy"  - it takes about 30MB of RAM. Anyway, the app is light-weight, it will only cost you about 300Kb of data, and you don't be rooted in case you want to have this wallpaper.

To get the wallpaper, install the APK file, and change the wallpaper.

[TOP 5] The Best Minimalistic Games For Android

We all like to play some games and relax for a while. While home, in work, in school, in a bus..just to kill the time. But what games to play? Here comes the top five list for the best minimalistic games for Android devices.

If you have some free time, let's say in a bus, just a few minutes before the bus arrives to a destination, would you play Grand Theft Auto or Dead Trigger? Would you play any challenging "campaing" games while in a bus? I don't think so.

In this situation, this category of games is probably the best for you. Minimalistic games. One simple objective, simple interface, no thing such as campaing mode or story. Let's see the list. I hope you enjoy it.

7x7

7x7 is an awesome minimalistic puzzle game where you have to connect 5 or more blocks with same color.

The game has an awesome interface, no time and it's simple. Also very addictive.

Strata

Another awesome game called Strata has been nominated for most innovative game design. You'll know why, when you open it. Awesome design, fancy animations, beautiful interface. This is one of the best games I've ever played. The goal of Strata is to strategically layer colored ribbons to match a pattern. Using forethought and strategy you must sequence your moves correctly. Over time patterns emerge and your tactics may evolve, but Strata will keep you on your toes with increasingly difficult puzzles. A must-have for me.

Super Hexagon

If you download the Super Hexagon for the first time, you will probably freak out and close the game immediately. However, it will get better for the second time, and soon you will get addicted to the game.

Minimalistic games have to be addictive, and I can assure you, this is one of the most addictive games ever.

Also one of the hardest ones.

Auralux

To be exact, Auralux is a strategy. A "Music Strategy", maybe. You goal is to occupy all the planets and defend yours. Every second a new warrior is created. If you own two planets, you will recieve two warriors at a time. You can also upgrade the planets to generate more. It's also highly addictive.

Dots: A Game About Connecting

As the name says, Dots is a game about connecting...dots. Again, it's a beautiful - connecting, logic and minimalistic game, where your goal is to connect as much dots as possible and gain the highest score. Game has a few modes available, included time-mode.

Lucid Launcher - A Slightly Different, Yet Beatiful and Handy Android Launcher

There are too many beautiful launchers out there but the problem is, they aren't really smart in any way. You have to click many,many times just to open your browser. And that's bad. Well, if you are looking for a beautiful but also smart and handy launcher, you might enjoy the Lucid Launcher - as I call it, A slightly different but still the same.

I am the type of a person that needs things to be beautiful and gorgeous but also insist to be useful. This is kinda problem because there are a bunch of beautiful launchers such like Themer but the problem is, I don't find this launcher useful....at all. On the other side, I like and currently use the Google Now Launcher - I appreciate the option to access the Google Now by just one swype of your finger. This makes things faster than any other launcher.

But then I tried the Lucid Launcher. It's fast, beatiful but also useful, handy and smart. It's also slightly different from the rest of launchers out there. But I'm sure, you will enjoy this change:



As you can see, browsing on the homescreen is different. Instead of horizontal swype, you swype your finger vertically to browse your widgets. To access apps, swype your finger to the right. If you want to quickly access your browser, swype to the letf, and you're there!

Lucid Launcher also offers a smart search function and sidebar which lets you to open your favourite apps quickly. As you can also see, launcher looks very beautiful and has the translucent (transparent) navigation bars for KitKat, which makes this launcher even more beautiful.

App comes in a free and paid version. If you want to support the developer and unlock some awesome stuff like page animations, sidebar themes, custom search text, transparency options and much more, I suggest you to buy the full version.

[APK] Get Nokia X Browser To Your Android Phone

Nokia X - The first Nokia's phone powered by Android has brought a few new apps such like browser or the Nokia store. If you are curious about these apps, specifically browser, you can now try it out thanks to GalaxyUser - an XDA that has ported this app and made it available for all Android deivces.

Again, there's nothing special available on this Nokia browser but if you are curious about what  Nokia has to offer, give it a shot and see. I would also like to recommend this browser to low-end smartphones, the browser is light-weight, doesn't support many features, therefore if your device seems slow or has a poor CPU, you might actually enjoy this browser.

Your device does not have to be rooted in order to run this app. Just download and install in usual way - just like any others.

Nokia X - Root, Google Play Store, G-Apps and Google Launcher

The thing that almost everybody expected to come has finally come. Yeah. The Nokia X as an Android phone has been finally rooted modded to run custom Launcher, apps from Google (GApps) or even original Google Play Store.

While we have the Nokia X phone rooted, we can basically sideload any APK file, thus run it. Let's watch some screens of modded Nokia X running the original Google Now Launcher available on Google Play Store:



To do this, you need to root your Nokia X phone. This can be done using the Gandalf Exploit included in well-known rooting app called Framaroot (More info + download).

After that, install and download a root explorer, and finally install GApps. Download a special package by KashaMalaga@XDA (Thanks to him, we can do all of this stuff), extract and copy all the APK files included in the ZIP to /system/app directory and change the permissions to rw-r-r--.

After rebooting, download this package and install every single APK in the usual way.

After that, you should be able to run Google Play Store.
