eTrizzle helps you decide what to watch while at home. It’s a simple app/website that will aggregate movie listings from several online streaming/purchasing services, including: iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, Netflix, Redbox, Amazon Prime, HBO Go, Redbox Instant, and more. Even better, it’s well-organized and easy to search.
The Home Screen: New Releases
When you first open up the app, you’re taken to a list of the newest releases from across all of the supported services. As you can see from the above screenshot, each listing includes the title, movie poster, and Rotten Tomatos rating. Pressing one of the movies will take you to full listing screen with ratings, synopsis, actors, rating, runtime, the ability to view the trailer, and the list of services on which the movie is available.
Single Movie Screens
As you can see, streaming services will not list a price, whereas downloadable versions of the movie will. Pressing on one of the services will take you to a webpage for that movie; while this is OK for services like Amazon and Redbox (and even Google Play, I suppose), this proves problematic for Netflix and Hulu, where you cannot stream from a mobile browser. eTrizzle should really check for the native app and then if it’s not installed, kick the user to the Google Play store or website.
I also feel that services like Google Play, Netflix, and Hulu should be checking certain devices or OS for a native app, but responsibility here belongs to eTrizzle.
This is really the main/only functionality of eTrizzle (hence the short review). However, the app does have some fantastic organization options I want to talk about.
Stay Organized!
eTrizzle lets you not only do a text search using the bar at the top of each screen, but also allows you to browse movies by a lot of different criteria. There are dropdowns available that let you filter by things like Genre, Service, and even New/Popular.
Dropdown options for Genre and Service
At the bottom of the screen there are also 4 buttons: New, Popular, Services, and Browse. While the first three are self-explainatory, Browse has some pretty nifty lists you can check out, including: Free, Streaming, and Top Movies of 2012. This is followed by a list of all the genres.
The Browse Screen
I thought this was a really nice touch as it gives the user different exploring or discovery options.
Wishlist
While I really do like the service, I think it’s fairly obvious that they are just generating content exactly as it appears on their website. I’d really like to see better native integration by calling on-device apps for faster streaming/purchase. This would make the app incredibly powerful. I’d also really like to see a “Favorites” option that would allow me to keep a list of the movies I want to see, so I could quickly rent or stream when I’m ready to watch them.
Conclusion
eTrizzle is a really nice aggregator that helps you keep track of newly released movies, available for purchase of streaming. While I will continute to use it for that reason alone, I really would like to see some tighter integration with Android to make it feel like a native app. Right now, it feels more like a mobile-optimized website. I’ll hold off on giving it a rating now and look forward to what the developers will do in future builds!

Instead of the current magazine style layout, Google has gone for a card view and follows their Holo style – I don’t know what took them so long to be honest.
It’s rolling out now to devices with Android 2.2 and above. Not everyone will get it right away though, it’ll be rolling out gradually so expect it in the coming weeks.

Follow UltraLinx on - Facebook | Twitter. ]]> Tue, 09 Apr 2013 12:30:53 EDT cellphone Google Andriod 39 http://www.do-it-mobile.com/story.php?title=google-play-store-redesign-is-now-official http://www.do-it-mobile.com/story.php?title=how-to-root-att-samsung-galaxy-note-by-flashing-pre-rooted-kernel-via-odin-guide Samsung Galaxy Note is one of the rather interesting devices released by Samsung as it’s a cross between a traditional tablet and a smartphone with a gigantic screen size of 5.3-inch (by smartphone standards). It makes the device much more useful for some people in terms of increased productivity possibilities but at the same time it renders the device un-pocket able. Other impressive features include a powerful 8MP front rear facing camera as well as a 2MP front facing camera. Good news for the US consumers that fancy of this device is that its just going to be released to AT&T. Even better that talented Android developers have already managed to root the device even before the release! Here is a guide on how to root your At&T version of Samsung Galaxy Note SGH-i717. We posted earlier a guide for rooting the international version of this device here.
Note: Rooting, Jailbreaking or customizing your device can be risky, and you may end-up bricking your device! Follow the instructions posted here at your own responsibility as Inspired Geek will not be responsible for any damage to your device.

Required Downloads
- Download the ODIN 1.85 and then extract the .zip file.
- Download Pre-rooted kernel for PDA.
- If you do not have Samsung’s KIES 2.0 installed, download and install it. Correct USB drivers must be installed, so that programs can communicate with the device. Reboot computer after KIES installation.
Procedure: Root Samsung Galaxy Note
Step 1: Make sure that your device is in USB debugging mode: Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging. Step 2: Reboot your device into download mode. To do so: Turn the device off, then power it on by holding Volume-Down then powering it on simultaneously. Then there will be a screen asking to press Vol-Up to put the device in to Download mode. Step 3: Start ODIN.
Step 4: Connect the device to your computer using USB. Step 5: Wait a few seconds, the ODIN screen will show that a device is now connected - Make sure that in ODIN nothing is checked, except the "Auto reboot" and "F. Reset Time"checkboxes. - Press the "PDA" button, and select the pre-rooted PDA kernel file that you downloaded above. - Press "Start". ODIN will now flash the pre-rooted kernel, and the device should reboot afterwards.

Step 6: After the device reboots in the OS then from Android Market search for the SuperUser and install it.
If you follow all the above steps correctly then your AT&T version of the Samsung Galaxy Note will be rooted. Please note that the above mentioned procedure will increment the custom flash counter on your device. Which is not a big issue for most users but its believed this it is used by Samsung for the warranty purposes.
For more details on this this rooting procedure, discussions and future updates please follow the XDA thread linked below.

Pandora has tried to recapture this analogue radio concept of letting you pick the genre but not the songs, as it automatically generates playlists based on an artist, genre or composer you select. Songza takes the concept even further: instead of asking you to pick a genre or an artist first, it analyzes context and suggests playlists accordingly.

Concierge: Context-Aware Playlists
The first time you launch Songza, you’ll be asked if you’re a socialite and want to connect the app to your Facebook account or create a standalone one instead. Once this formality is completed, you can immediately start using the app. Based on the day and time, Songza suggests activities you could be doing. For instance, a smart guess for Saturday afternoons is doing housework or spending time with your family – or in the case below, saving the world.
Songza suggests activities depending on the context – Yes, saving the world is one of my daily activities!
After you select an activity, Songza will present you with a list of various genres that are likely to correspond to what you’re doing. Once you pick the one you’re in the mood for, your selection is narrowed down to three playlists, which usually correspond to six genres: tap one and put your headphones on!
Picking a genre based on an activity
While listening to a playlist, you can pause or skip a track and give the song a thumbs up or thumbs down, which will help Songza learn your music preferences and provide you with customized playlists and tracks in the future. It’s worth mentioning the application integrates perfectly with Android, as it lets you perform these actions right from the notification bar. It also has the option to share the playlist with your friends or buy the song on Google’s Play Store, if you’d like to listen to it on demand.
Songza displays the album cover both in the app and the notification bar
Manual Selection of Playlists
If you would rather select a playlist manually, Songza has you covered: you can either browse Popular playlists – Trending, Featured and All Time – or look for personalized recommendations using the Explore option. The latter breaks down playlists by Genre, Activities, Moods, Decades, Culture and Record-Store Clerk, and if for some reason these options weren’t enough, you can tap the Search icon and find playlists featuring your favorite artists.
Exploring playlists
Make It Yours
In addition to remembering your ratings, Songza lets you favorite playlists you like. It also keeps track of your recent playlists and activities, which allows the app to present you with personalized suggestions next time you use it. Because it syncs with the cloud, your preferences are stored across platforms – I’m always delighted to find my favorite and recent playlists on my iPad after listening to them on my Android phone!
Popular and Personal Playlists
If you connect Songza with Facebook, you’ll also have the option to view the playlists your friends listen to and share yours with them. Lastly, a nice feature worth mentioning is the Sleep Timer, which lets you program when the app should stop playing and let you sleep peacefully.
You’ll also be happy to note that Songza features a beautiful tablet-optimized interface, that makes full use of the landscape orientation in tablets.
Conclusion
Songza clearly has an interesting vision on how and when to deliver the right music at the right time. It learns to suggest the appropriate playlists based on what you are likely to do at a specific time. Using the application when working out, for instance, is a real pleasure: it knows what genre to play without you having to touch your phone or change tracks – unless you really don’t like a song, that is. I personally believe Songza and Pandora are both great solutions and are not meant to replace each other.
Even though the application is only available on the American and Canadian Play Stores, it does work outside of these countries. This is delightful, as you can still use the app when working out at your hotel gym during a business trip, for example, something you can’t do with Pandora…

Like the article? You should subscribe and follow us on twitter.
Push Notifications
I have an HTC Incredible S that does a great job of living up to its name but suffers invariably from that trademarked HTC problem. The battery life is pretty bad and that’s an understatement. Now, almost every Twitter app on the Play Store implements notifications using the polling feature. This involves a manual refresh or a user defined automatic refresh at a set time interval. I am quite active on Twitter and cannot afford to set the polling time intervals at more than 2/3 minutes which, needless to say, eats up the battery on my phone like a hungry monster.
On the other hand, Tweetings offers me the option of Push notifications, ie. instant notifications without putting too much of a load on the battery of my phone. The feature is implemented very well and not once have I missed a notification. This one option makes Tweetings a life saver and worthy enough of being my Twitter client. The only other app offering Push notifications is the official Twitter client, which pretty much makes the choice a no-brainer.
Tweetings comes with push notifications and custom tabs
Custom Tabs
Twitter is many things to me, a place to connect with like-minded individuals, a platform to discuss various topics and interests and the main source of my daily diet of news. As such, I have a number of lists segregating the tweeps I follow into meaningful groups. That being the case, I need a Twitter app that implements lists well and Tweetings does not disappoint.
However, what truly nails it for me is that it offers the option of endless custom tabs that are configurable to show the timelines of all my lists. This effectively puts all my lists just a swipe or a single tap away, enabling me to seamlessly switch between them and keep an eye on them all. Other than lists, you can also configure the custom tabs to show trending topics, saved searches, your followers, tweeps you follow or even the timeline of a favorite user of yours — perfect for stalking, dare I say.
Customizations
While the above mentioned features are the real hallmarks of the app for me, they are not the only tricks up its sleeve. Tweetings offers a plethora of customization options allowing me to design my tweeting experience exactly the way I want it to be.
Auto-shortening of urls, inline image previews, auto completion of usernames, custom font size, ability to color mark users, custom filter based search options, multi accounts support, hardware acceleration and GZIP compressing to reduce data traffic, and so on, are some of the many great things about Tweetings. A dual-pane layout, multiple image uploading services and an insanely feature-packed image editor that comes as a separate add-in are other notable mentions.
Full screen image viewer and user profile view
Interface
I am a stickler for good looking apps and like to ensure that every piece of software on my phone is well designed and beautiful. This is another area where Tweetings excels. The app brings all the above mentioned wonderful things in a pleasing, minimal and extremely convenient interface that makes my tweeting experience an absolute breeze. Simple, clean menu items, a dark and white theme and an amazing full screen, a translucent image viewer, all make the app a joy to behold.
Timeline and single tweet view
Conclusion
Tweetings, unlike most of its competition, is a paid app, which stops me from recommending it to everyone. However, considering the unique features that it offers, I have no qualms in shelling out the cash and buying it. In my personal opinion, just the push notification feature is worth paying for and if that appeals to you, I strongly recommend you try Tweetings as well.

We saw that Konami was involved which further increased out suspicion and then Metal Gear creator, Hideo Kojima , tweeted that he was involved which basically a flat out statement saying this is a Metal Gear game. Now at GDC 2013 we have a bad-ass trailer showing off the game and yes, this is Metal Gear Solid V (5 for those who hate roman numerals).
We don’t get too many details on the story but we know that out protagonist who we’re assuming is Solid Snake wakes up in a hospital from a 9 year coma and stuff is everything is just out of control. There’s people who walk through fire,  medical patients being executed, you’ve got one arm, and lots and lots of people dying. It’s looks AWESOME. The song playing through the trailer fits perfectly too.
Check it out below.

However, this is NOT just another ROM based on the stock ICS firmware but it has numerous enhancements and features included that makes it worth reporting here at InspiredGeek. Most importantly it proved to be the most stable and smoother ICS build that I have tested so far for the Samsung Galaxy SII. Some of the key features include the inclusion of the pre-rooted CF-root kernel, SuperUser, Busybox, adjustments and enhancements in the ICS framework, removal of the TouchWiz launcher, many AOSP system apps included Contacts, Phone, MMS, Calendar, Calculator, Music, Browser, etc.), many status-bar toggles included, Face-unlock feature and countless other features.

Based on my personal experience this is the most stable and highest performing ROM that I have tested. Also in day-to-day use it proved to be very smooth. If you want a prove I ran some performance benchmarks such as Quadrant which broke the 4000 mark which is impressive considering that Samsung Galaxy SII was running on the stock clock frequency without any overclocking. I also got impressive results in Sun-spider JavaScript and Rightware Browsermark.
 
You can download the latest AndyX ROM 5.3 and then flash it via the CWM (Clockworkmod) recovery menu. If you used the CF-root method to root your Samsung Galaxy SII that we outlined here it should already have CWM installed that can be accessed by rebooting the device.
Note: Rooting, Jailbreaking or customizing your device can be risky, and you may end-up bricking your device! Follow the instructions posted here at your own responsibility as Inspired Geek will not be responsible for any damage to your device.

Step 1. First make sure your device is rooted.
Step 2. Copy the AndyX ROM 5.3 ROM file to the root of your SDcard.
Step 3. Restart the phone in to recovery mode.
Step 4. Make 3-wipes (wipe data, wipe cache, wipe wipe dalvik cache)
Step 5. Now install the firmware zip file from the SDcard and flash the ROM.
Step 6. Finally reboot the device and enjoy the device to enjoy the AndyX ROM 5.3 on your Samsung Galaxy SII device!
Note that if you are upgrading from an earlier version of the ROM then no need to make three wipes (as mentioned above). It means that in that case this firmware is no-wipe. Please also make sure that you make a Nandroid backup from CWM recovery menu before following the above mentioned procedure. So that if something goes wrong then you will have a way to go back.

We covered beautiful icons previously on Android.Appstorm, but that was 18 months ago. Nowadays, new designers have come into the picture, new techniques are being used, and design language has morphed tremendously. In this roundup, I will take you through a list of my favorite icon designers and their beautiful creations.

How to Apply Different Icons
There are two ways you can change the icons on your Android device, and both of them require having a third-party launcher like Apex, Nova, or several others — unless you’re using LG’s Optimus UI which is the only out-of-the-box launcher to let you change icons manually.
Launcher Themes
The first method uses Themes for launchers. You can search the Play Store for “Nova theme”, “Apex theme”, “Go theme”, “ADW theme” and so on to download these, then you’ll be able to apply them from your launcher’s settings. The benefits of using this method are that themes usually apply the changes to the homescreen and the app drawer, and they let you manually change the homescreen icons by being seen as “icon packs”.
However, a theme is always a trial-and-error gamble since it has to be coded with icons for all of your apps, and so most of the time you’re left with several icons that keep their original look and stick out like a sore thumb amongst the others in your app drawer. Some modern themers have been using an “icon mask” that applies to all icons, which makes the theme more homogenous even when some apps aren’t supported.
Creativity’s Holo Red S uses icon mask.
Icon Images
The second method for changing icons uses simple image files — jpeg or png — transfered to your device. Most launchers allow you to modify the icon by long clicking on an app, clicking the icon, and selecting from your gallery, a file browser, or installed icon packs (ie themes).
While this method doesn’t change your app drawer icons, it remains my favorite, as it gives me freedom to apply any image as an icon and keep these images saved in Dropbox for quick access. Plus, I see the fact that it doesn’t apply the icons to the drawer as an advantage, since it lets me find the app I’m looking for at a glance, instead of having to look for it amongst a sea of similar icons.
Retrofied by Screenlicious, Buttonized by Samantha Conner, and Round White by Creativity used in 3 of my personal layouts.
Incredibly Talented Icon Designers
Samantha Conner
Samantha Conner has quickly become my favorite icon designer on Android. She offers a multitude of pixel-perfect sets with over 1000 icons each, so the risk of not finding icons for your favorite apps is minimal. She also provides these as paid or free themes on the Play Store, but also as free .zip archives of image files on her DeviantArt page, which is perfect if you’re like me and you prefer to apply icons manually.
Her sets are unique, beautiful, multicolored or unicolored, and she works on different shapes from squares to rounds and even stars and lozenges. There’s no weak link in her sets, you could easily use any of them, and they would fit in so many different ideas of homescreen setups.
Personal favorites: Punchy, Circons Orange, Kei Blue, Phoney White.
Samantha Conner’s icon sets.
Screenlicious
Xniikk, as he was known before he chose Screenlicious for his site’s name, is an all-round fantastic Android designer. He not only offers icon sets and themes, but also UCCW skins, weather icons, and he even has full .psd setups on his site along with tutorials and a lot of resources. You can buy some these creations on the Play Store, but I’d recommend you also check his website’s store for complete access to his work.
Xniikk’s style is elegant and minimalist, often opting for uni or bicolored sets, and playing on transparency and shapes to refresh his creations. His icons can be used to add a touch of simplicity to a complex homescreen, or to make an incredibly minimalist layout.
Personal favorites: Minimal Rounds, Labeled Rounds, Ice Cream Magenta, Lucid Rounds.
Screenlicious’ icon sets.
BlackBearBlanc
Like Xniikk of Screenlicious, BlackBearBlanc is another icon designer who also provides UCCW skins, several app themes and other customization add-ons. He is the ultimate customizer, and maintains his personal website, along with his personal profile on MyColorScreen. There’s a lot to learn from his work, for the novice and the seasoned Android user alike.
His icon sets span over different styles, from minimalistic to colourful, squares to rounds, transparent to opaque,…
Personal favorites: HoloDark Blues, SquareLines White, Google Now’s, Carbon Round.
BlackBearBlanc’s icon sets.
Creativity
If you consider customization highly on your Android tinkering list, then you must have at least one of Creavity’s icon sets installed. These usually provide over 850 icons, applied to more than 2500 apps.
He seems to be inspired by several of BlackBearBlanc and Screenlicious’ work, and focuses more on minimalism with a few colorful touches. His sets vary around dual tones, using white or black mixed with red, blue or other colors. He often opts for the standard shapes, using either perfect rounds or squares.
Personal favorites: Round White, Lively, Boxed Dark, Holo Red S.
Creativity’s icon sets.
Kovdev
Kovdev is probably one of the oldest and most well known icon set designers on Android. His Play Store page lists dozens of icon sets, wallpapers, themes, and various other customization resources. His personal website provides explanations, descriptions, and a visual representation of all of his work.
Kovdev is most famous for picking specific objects or topics and making a homogenous set of them. You’ll find wooden, metal, button-like, sticky, robot, steampunk, and so much more themed sets in his work. Basically, once you open Kovdev’s Play Store page, you’ll kiss your whole day goodbye as there’s so much to discover and so many ideas to try.
Personal favorites: Minecraft, Sticky, Robot, Lustre.
Kovdev’s icon sets.
StealthyChief
StealthyChief is another jack-of-all-trades designer, with icon sets, GO Keyboard, Sms, Locker and Contact themes, and several other creations offered in the Play Store. His personal website offers an online shop where you can bundle 5 or 10 icon packs for a much cheaper price, and trust me, you’ll need to do that, because his work is outstanding.
StealthyChief’s creations are unique, never too minimalist but still amazingly clean and detailed. He follows in Kovdev’s footsteps of using topics for some of his icons, but he also goes for more abstract ideas. His sets are always squares or rounds, with mono or dual tone colors. All in all, he’s definitely one of the most well-rounded designers on this list, and you simply get lost amongst all of his awesome creations.
Personal favorites — the hardest to limit to only 4: JB Leather, Illuminate, Green Glow, Holo Light.
StealthyChief’s icon sets.
A Random Package
A Random Package falls in the same category as Screenlicious and BlackBearBlanc, providing icon sets as well as UCCW skin designs. You can get more behind the scenes access to his work and portfolio over on his personal website.
His style is also similar, often opting for minimalism, light colors, transparency and simplicity in his sets. He doesn’t have a lot of sets available on the Play Store, but the ones that he’s done are clean and can easily fit into a lot of homescreen layouts.
Personal favorites: Greycons, Flatcons White, Round 2 HD, Soft Blue.
A Random Package’s icon sets.
Pooley
At first glance, several of Pooley’s icon sets will look eerily similar to Samantha Conner’s. The reason is that both of these designers play on the same style, playing with different shapes, using transparent strips around the icons, or several shades before getting to the middle of the icon. He also provides several UCCW skins to go with his icon sets.
Contrary to many of the minimalists on this list, like Creativity or Screenlicious, Pooley almost never uses flat designs. His work contains a lot of embossed and embedded elements. That doesn’t make it any less suited for Android’s flat UI language, quite the contrary. It adds personality and a 3D feel that easily transforms a homescreen layout.
Personal favorites: Mint, Alpha, Kub HD, Blaque Blue.
Pooley’s icon sets.
iWizard
Most of iWizard’s work revolves around square shapes and multi-coloured icons. For the fans of this look, there’s a lot to pick amongst his sets, from flat to skeumorphic buttons, perfect squares to squares with rounded corners, with or without an outline, and so on. He also provides a lot of UCCW skins on his page.
Personal favorites: Colors, White Picket, MIcons, Lumino2 HD.
iWizard’s icon sets.
Samer Zayer
It’s hard to put your finger on Samer Zayer’s style in designing icons. He seems to gravitate towards square designs with skeumorphic looks like iWizard, but then whips out something out of the ordinary like a neon theme or a circle theme. Despite this jumpy identity, Samer masters the different styles, providing a uniqueness to each of them, and a great attention to detail. He also offers a few Cyanogenmod and other Theme Chooser-compatible themes on his Play Store page. All in all, he’s definitely a designer we’re keeping our eyes on.
Personal favorites: Neon, Box Pro, Brushed Metal, Circles.
Samer Zayer’s icon sets.
As with everything on Android, this list is a small collection amongst a paraphernalia of icon sets. There’s a lot more to discover and use, so many styles to try and so many shapes and colors to fit. So did I miss any of your favourite icon designers or themes?

The collection of tools includes a batch installer and uninstaller as well as a task management tool.

Introducing All-In-One Toolbox
Fire up the app and you’ll be greeted not by a selection of tools to choose from, but a system info screen. This gives you a quick graphical overview of how your memory and storage space are being used up, and lets you check CPU usage.
There are three buttons on this startup screen: Battery Booster invites you to buy a separate app, System Info gives you more details about your device, while Quick Boost kills background apps to free up memory.
Info screen: device health and quick optimizations.
On the subject of the Quick Boost option, it’s worth mentioning the whitelisting option straight away. To avoid having important apps terminated, head to the Settings section by tapping the upper left cog icon and then working through the User and System sections to cordon off apps that should remain running at all times.
Whitelisting prevents apps from being terminated.
In terms of options, there’s not much else to concern yourself with. Activate the notification icon and an icon will be displayed whenever the app is running and, perhaps more usefully, a shortcut to All-In-One Toolbox is added to the notification screen, not only providing instant access to the app, but also showing memory and battery details.

Power Up Processes
One of the easiest ways to boost the performance of your device, improve battery life and free up memory, is to kill apps that may be running in the background. Move to the Process section of All-In-One and you’ll see a list of apps and processes that are currently running. Depending on the type of optimization you are looking for, you can use the menu on the right to order the list so the processes that are using the most memory, CPU or battery are listed first.
Sort your running processes by memory, CPU or battery usage.
Selected the apps you’d like to stop using, or wasting, your device’s resources, and just hit the Kill button to reap the benefits.
Toolbox Tools
Move to the Tools section All-In-One and you’ll find what you would expect to find in an app billing itself as a ‘toolbox’ – a collection of various utilities. These are divided up in to various sections – system cleaning, SD management and several others – but as there are only twelve items in total, this does not seem entirely necessary.
While there are technically 17 tools in the tool box, I get the distinct impression that tools that could – perhaps should – have been grouped together have been deliberately split up to bolster the numbers; should the batch installer and the batch uninstaller really be separate tools? And on the subject of number bolstering, I’m not sure that a homescreen widget and homescreen shortcuts should really be counted as tools in their own right.
There are 17 tools to work with, an artificially inflated number.
Each of the tools is incredibly easy to use and provide you with a variety of ways to perform quick fixes for common Android problems. Running out of space? Clear out app caches with a couple of taps, use the App2SD option to move app data to the SD card, or clear out some unnecessary files from your SD card.
App2SD moves your app’s data to your SD card.
This latter option — the file cleaner — is interesting as it gives you a quick and easy way to track down temporary files, image thumbnails and other wasteful files so you can remove them in one fell swoop.
SDCard Cleaner: one of the space-freeing tools.
As well as freeing up space, you can also protect your privacy by cleaning your history and logs. But it’s not all about freeing up space and clearing logs, there’s also a backup tool and handy startup management options. These enable you to choose any apps you have installed and configure them to start automatically when you power up your device or, conversely, prevent apps from autorunning to free up resources.
Force or block apps from running at startup.
Summing Up
There are certainly some useful tools to be found in All-In-One Toolbox, and the fact that the app is free of charge means that there is little reason not to take a look at it. The problem with the app is that it is just not very well designed. The decision to split the startup management tools in two – one for adding startup items and another for removing them – is just plain strange.
There are a lot of useful options to be found here, but they are more spread out than they need to be. If you can turn a blind eye to the fact that the interface is not as well designed as it could be, accept the fact that you’ll probably have to visit several different areas of the app to achieve very closely related tasks, and realize that you’re not really getting 17 tools in the toolbox, this is a great app – just don’t be fooled into thinking there’s more to it than is actually there.

Over the years as it has developed, more and more features are being added along the way. Unfortunately with their being so many features it’s impossible to cover every single one. Only the major ones seem to be pointed out, but the little things that help with work flow seem to be forgotten about.
Edward Sanchez runs a Tumblr blog called Photoshop Secrets where he posts some awesome Photoshop tricks which are not blatantly obvious at first or are forgotten about. Here are just 7 of the many secrets he’s posted.
Note: These are Mac based. If you know the PC alternative, please do post them in the comments and I’ll add them to the post.

Repeat a transformation
If you’ve made a transformation to an object, such as changing an image size, you may want to apply that to another object. You can simply do so with – ⌘⇧T

Hide/show multiple layers
A neat way of hiding and showing multiple layers are once is by simply clicking and dragging.


Rounded rectangle radius resizer
We’ve posted this one before but it can easily be forgotten about. This neat little script allows you to change the radius of a rectangle on the fly, instead of having to create a whole new one. You can even change the radius of just one corner if you wanted.

Align text with shortcuts
⌘⇧L – align left
⌘⇧R – align right
⌘⇧C – align center

Makes guides quickly with GuideGuide
We’ve also covered this one before but it’s a real gem. Creating guides is such a pain in the ass. GuideGuide enables you to create lots all at once with just one click.

Download – GuideGuide

Set colour of object or text quickly
To set the colour of an object or text quickly you can use these shortcuts:
⌘⌫ – to set color from background
⌥⌫ – to set color from foreground

Quickly paste dummy text
A missed feature in Photoshop CS6 is the ability to paste dummy text. When creating a new text box simple go to Type > Paste Lorem Ipsum.

What Do You Think of “This Week In Android”?

For the past few weeks, we have been running a new column on the site entitled “This Week In Android” where we recount the most interesting news tidbits from the week in terms of software updates, new device announcements, and app updates. It was designed as a light recap of general news, to keep you up-to-date on the latest Android happenings, since we usually don’t cover these in our regular posts.
However, we know that you, as an Android.Appstorm reader, come to us mostly — and almost exclusively — for our app and game reviews and roundups. That’s why, after a few weeks of foraying into “This Week In Android”, we’d like to know your opinion about the new column. Did it pique your interest, or were you skipping it as you prefer to get your Android news from other more timely and elaborate sources? Would you be more interested in a change of format that skips the device and software news to focus solely on app and game updates and releases?
Please take the time to vote and share your opinions in the comments below.

Amazon’s Strategy
When entering the Android ecosystem, Amazon took a completely different strategy than other companies like Motorola and Samsung. In fact, it was clear that they had to go in a completely different direction if they wanted to stand a chance.
Devices
Amazon started their Android adventure by releasing a tablet designed for a very specific group of people. With the release of the Kindle Fire, Amazon created an incredibly easy way for people who have never owned a tablet before to get into the game. They targeted the crowd who did not want a tablet badly enough to spend a few hundred dollars on something like the iPad or the Galaxy Tabs.
By keeping the price extremely low, Amazon made the original Kindle Fire an impulse buy. This was the first time a high quality tablet had ever been cheap enough to be purchased by people who weren’t necessarily looking for a tablet at that time. In addition, the Kindle brand was already extremely popular and trusted.
Amazon remained the only competition in this small Android tablet market for quite some time. However, Google’s introduction of the Nexus 7 changed everything. All of a sudden, Amazon found their beloved Kindle Fire competing against a tablet that had much higher specs, a full operating system, and the exact same price.
How did Amazon respond? They released the Kindle Fire HD which improved nearly every specification that was on the original Fire. However, none of the new specs were any better than what Google was already offering. The only major advantage to the Fire HD was the battery and audio output. Hence why Amazon had to take a new rout and offer a larger, 8.9″ tablet in addition to the already popular 7″ model.
Amazon’s Kindle Family
This was an odd move by Amazon, not in the introduction of a larger tablet, but in the pricing strategy. Starting at $299, Amazon’s 8.9″ Kindle Fire HD is still cheaper than the iPad, but the price goes significantly higher, topping out at over $600 for the highest end model. This certainly does not jive with the previous business models as it’s no longer an impulse buy. And given that Amazon uses a very restrictive operating system, it seems pretty illogical to spend a large amount of money without getting a full Android experience.
Software
Amazon’s take on software has been rather controversial. The Kindle Fire line uses the Android operating system and can run Android applications. However, Amazon has managed to achieve this by completely side-stepping Google. In fact, a person not familiar with the Android ecosystem could pick up a Kindle Fire and not even realize that the operating system is Android.
For starters, Amazon has created a heavily skinned version of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The reason is they want people to use this device exclusively for content. Multimedia consumption is forefront, whereas almost all productivity and multitasking takes a secondary role.
Amazon’s Kindle Interface
In addition, Amazon uses their own app store to distribute software to Kindle Fire users. While the apps that are sold are technically the same, they will be completely independent of your Google account. This is where open source software can either be fantastic or destructive depending on your point of view. Some may say that Amazon is taking full advantage of the great features of Android’s open source nature by adapting it to their needs and service capabilities. On the other hand, some people think they are reaping all of the benefits from the ecosystem Google has created without giving them any credit.
The Ecosystem’s Response
As with any major change in an ecosystem, other companies are bound to respond. Amazon literally created a new market when they were able to produce a high end device that sells for a budget price. As a result, the demand for high quality, inexpensive devices exploded. The rest of the Android manufacturers had to come up with something to fill the void in the newly created market.
Google
Google was the first company to truly challenge Amazon’s marketing strategy. While other manufacturers had indeed made smaller tablets similar to the Fire, Google was the first one to take a similar business approach. Google liked the idea of marketing a device based on content consumption. By releasing the Nexus 7, they began pushing their multiple Play Stores — Books, Music, Video and Apps — harder than they ever had before.
The reason Google was able to be so successful in this approach, was because they already had an expanding library of content. In reality, the only companies that can actually pull off a release of a content consumption device are those who personally maintain an expansive library. Google and Amazon had success with this business model because they are currently the top two content providers in the Android ecosystem.
Kindle Fire HD vs Nexus 7
Google’s Nexus 7 is currently one of the highest selling Android tablets ever released. That’s bad news for Amazon because it shows that consumers want a complete Android experience, not a watered down version. If other OEMs follow in Google’s path by producing fully-featured Android tablets at a low price, then Amazon’s altered interface is going to look more and more like an inconvenience.
Other OEMs
So where do the other manufacturers come into the mix? In all honesty it isn’t realistic for companies like Samsung, HTC, or Motorola to introduce content consumption devices. They do not provide content of their own and would be relying only on Google’s services, an uninspiring approach because people would be more apt to simply purchase a device straight from Google. However, that doesn’t mean they won’t indeed respond to Amazon in their own way.
Take Samsung for example. Since the growing popularity of devices like the Kindle Fire HD and the Nexus 7, Samsung has been attempting to find their own niche. With their expansion of the Galaxy Note line of devices, Samsung is reaching towards a specific “phablet” and tablet market. While the sizes and prices are vastly different from what Google and Amazon is doing, the Galaxy Notes offer a unique functionality that can’t be found even in high-end tablets.
Samsung’s Galaxy Note Family
Additionally, it is only logical to assume that other manufacturers will attempt to do the same. Motorola, LG, and even Sony will begin exploring the possibilities that can be achieved within a certain price point. I’m sure the types of devices will be quite different, but the overall goal will be the same. What’s currently unfolding is a demand for inexpensive devices and if manufacturers don’t comply, they will struggle to find some ground in this newly created market.
Conclusion
We are in the middle of a very interesting time for the Android ecosystem. It is during this period that we can reap all of the benefits from an open source software model. We are part of a community that is literally pushing out devices with every sort of physical dimension and software adaptation possible. Whether you think some companies are being too harsh with how they handle Google’s services, one thing remains very clear: this type of competition and market shift will do nothing but benefit consumers.

Many apps and services offer this option but with only very little free space — 2GBs is ridiculous given the higher resolution sensors on cameraphones — and expensive additional space. Google+ will backup photos with no storage limit, except it counteracts that by downsizing the image resolution. Wouldn’t it be perfect if we could back those photos up to our Google Drive account, making good use of the free space offered with the reasonably priced additional storage? Well, there’s a simple app called FolderSync to do just that.

Like the article? You should subscribe and follow us on twitter.
FolderSync comes in a lite version for free in the Play Store that does everything we need to set up our automatic photo backups. The interface can seem tricky at first glance if you don’t understand how it works so let’s do a step by step walk-through to explain the whole process.
Step 1: Get Familiar With What Makes a Sync
There are three different parts that make up a sync: the original file location, a cloud storage account (in this case, Google Drive account), and a folderpair. In the ensuing steps we will go through each one of the parts and soon you’ll see how simple it is to set them up to work together.
Step 2: Set Up a Cloud Storage Account
Foldersync supports a great list of accounts you can set up, from Dropbox and Skydrive all the way down to your own FTP server. Since we’re looking at taking advantage of our available Google Drive space, we’ll choose that option.
On the home screen, you will see the navigation options where you can choose Accounts.
Foldersync homescreen
Once you go to the Accounts screen, you’ll see a tiny cloud button in the lower left-hand corner with a small plus sign on it. Tapping that will give you the cloud services you can choose from. Simply choose Google Drive.
Setting up a Google Drive account
Attaching your Google Drive account is as simple as following the steps to sign in and validate it. Once you do, make sure you tap the save button in the upper right corner of the screen to save it.
Step 3: Set Up a Folderpair
Setting up a folderpair is simply telling the app which folder on your phone you want synced with which cloud service you just set up. You can have several folders syncing to several services all at once. What we want to do is to back up our photos on our Google Drive account, making sure none are missed.
Folderpair setup
From the drop down menu, choose Folderpairs. Tap the small plus button in the lower left-hand corner to add a new folderpair. Most of the fields here are pretty simple to figure out but let’s have a walk-through.

Name: This is simply to identify what this folderpair is doing should you choose to set up more than one. You can name it something like “photos from phone” or something similar.
Account: This space needs to be the Google account we just set up.
Remote folder: It’d probably be good if you set up a specific folder in your Google Drive account before just placing the photos anywhere, so name it something you’ll remember like “photos from phone” then come back here and choose this new folder.
Local folder: This is for the folder on your phone that you want backed up. Most Androids have a folder on the SD card — whether it’s physical or the internal virtual one — called DCIM. To be safe that all of your photos make it to the backup session, choose the whole folder.
Sync type: Choose the “to remote folder” option.
Scheduling: This is entirely up to you. Choose when you want the backup to occur.
Sync options: Pay attention here because you’ll either get errors or you’ll miss some photos if you check or uncheck some of these wrongly. I typically ignore the first two boxes but the rest are imperative.

Make sure “Sync subfolders” is checked so all photos in the folders beneath the DCIM folder are synced.
Make sure the “Sync hidden files” box is unchecked or you’ll get errors. You don’t need any hidden files to backup your photos anyway.
Unless you want the photos deleted from your phone as they’re synced, make sure the “Delete source files after sync” option is unchecked.
I usually check the “Do not sync deletions” option because I don’t want to accidentally delete a wanted photo off my phone and then have the backup automatically deleted too — just a safeguard.



If you want to set up sync filters, you must opt to purchase the full version but that’s for another day. Finally, make sure you tap the save button in the upper right corner to save those changes.
Step 4: Start Your First Sync
Choose Sync status from the drop down menu to see a history of your syncs. Since this is the first time, there won’t be a list there but you will be able to start your first sync.
Sync status
To start the sync, simple tap the sync button in the lower left-hand corner of the sync screen. The first sync will probably take some time, assuming you’ve got a lot of photos and videos ready to back up. Once it’s done, ensuing syncs should be quicker as it only backs up the files added or updated since the last time.
Conclusion
Although it would be nice if there was a built-in feature with Google Drive to automatically back up photos in full-resolution, that doesn’t exist yet and Foldersync fills the void very well. Now you can backup photos to your Google storage in two different ways. You can either have Google+ send the lowered resolution version without it counting against your free storage, or you can use Foldersync to sync and safely keep the full-sized images.

Microsoft really showed us what a “Smart Cover” should really be, by including a keyboard right into the screen cover for the tablet. The design of it is exceptional too, very different from the iPad and it has a lot more connectivity options.
This new video shows off how much you can do with the Surface and it’s pretty impressive. It’s great to see that there is a HD port, USB port and a MicroSD card slot – these options alone can be very inciting for people who want a productive tablet.
