The ultimate retro, 8-bit, minimalist and pixelart wallpaper collection

The ultimate retro, 8-bit, minimalist and pixelart wallpaper collection

November 24, 2012

Changing the homescreen wallpaper is the easiest way to give your smartphone a new look and finding the right background can do wonders for your Android homescreen layout. I have collected many more phone wallpapers than I actually need. Still, from time to time I start a new quest to find the ultimate homescreen wallpapers [...]

Do you enjoy high quality wallpapers? Check out Wallbase.cc and the Wallbase HD Android app

February 9, 2012

There is naturally an abundance of wallpaper sites on the Internet and it’s easy to find good pictures to use as either desktop or Android backgrounds. Even TechCredo has posted tons of wallpapers and we’ve also compiled a list of the top Android wallpaper apps. However, a comparatively new wallpaper site is so surprisingly good [...]

In defense of the custom Android UI

In defense of the custom Android UI

March 20, 2011

Many people, particularly Android purists, of course, frown upon custom Android user-interfaces. They want the vanilla Android experience – Android the way Google made it, and usually think custom UIs look bad, are bloated, poorly made, and slow down the OS update process. In a way I agree, and I haven’t used HTC’s Sense interface [...]

Quick game review: Stellar Escape by Orange Agenda

Quick game review: Stellar Escape by Orange Agenda

March 15, 2011

I won’t write much about Stellar Escape here: the first game from Swedish newcomer Orange Agenda, because the demo video below does a pretty good job showing what it’s about. What I can say is this: entertaining gameplay, great on-screen controls, excellent graphics using the Unity 3D engine, and OpenFeint integration with online leaderboards. There [...]

Thanks to task switcher ClutchPad v1.5, I can finally say goodbye to my Android’s Back button

Thanks to task switcher ClutchPad v1.5, I can finally say goodbye to my Android’s Back button

March 14, 2011

About two months ago, I contacted Steve Albright – the developer behind the task switcher Clutch. I just wanted to thank him for what I personally thought was a fine app that I had used since it first was released. I also suggested some visual improvements such as additional padding between the app icons, and [...]

Quick tip: Use Catch Notes to save links and tweets that you want to check later on your computer

March 10, 2011

Catch Notes is my favorite notes app for Android, and it’s also one of the apps I use most often regardless of category. I know that there are several excellent apps for transferring links and other information between your phone and your desktop computer and vice versa, but Catch Notes is so convenient to use [...]

Top 3 task switchers for Android

Top 3 task switchers for Android

March 9, 2011

Even though Android’s task switching feature has been rather mundane up until Honeycomb, it has served its purpose very well. By longpressing the Home button, we’ve been able to switch between recent apps – and for 9 out of 10 users this will probably suffice. But if you want to expand and customize the app [...]

Four free Android games worth playing: Meganoid, Doodle Bowling, Stupid Zombies and PewPew

March 3, 2011

Android is getting more and more great games for each day that passes. However, the games that feature the most advanced 3D graphics generally require the very latest hardware, such as a dual-core Tegra 2 processor. Those games are showcased in Nvidia’s TegraZone app. But luckily, there are also many games that rely on fun [...]

Tutorial: How to create and apply your own custom Android boot animation

Tutorial: How to create and apply your own custom Android boot animation

February 23, 2011

Yesterday, I wrote a guide to creating and applying a static boot screen for Android phones instead of the default animation that usually is displayed. Thus, it seemed appropriate with a tutorial for making a full boot animation as well. You naturally need a rooted Android device for this to work. Download TechCredo’s boot animation [...]

How to create a static Android boot screen instead of an animation

How to create a static Android boot screen instead of an animation

February 22, 2011

Android is of course a very customizable mobile platform, and having root access lets you personalize your phone even further. It’s very common to change Android’s boot animation, and there are tons of different animations posted on the interwebs that you can flash. There will probably be a “top Android boot animations” post here on [...]
