Yoga Monkey: Monkey see, monkey do yoga (Review)

Overview

Yoga is good for your physical and mental health. It relieves stress and helps you feel better. However, not everyone has the time, energy, or money to go to a yoga studio. That is where apps like Yoga Monkey come in. These apps make yoga very simple and time-flexible. This one in particular uses a monkey – because Monkey See, Monkey Do, right?

Developer: Guru Inc.

Cost: Free

Impressions

User Interface

Yoga Monkey uses a nice hamburger menu to present the available settings and then tabs to access your coursework. The light yellow used throughout the app is quite attractive and everything is placed in a really fluid experience. The video player for the courses is a bit rudimentary, but it’s still easy to go through the different videos.

In these videos, it shows you everything you’re supposed to be doing. There’s also a voice that explains everything as well. However, the voice doesn’t feel very human, but that does not get in the way of understanding the instructions.

Ad Obtrusiveness

I can’t say that Yoga Monkey’s ads are obtrusive as much as they are just strange. They show up after you pause a video… SOMETIMES. That being said, they don’t interfere with any functions of the video player. As soon as you start your video, the ad disappears.

Features

Yoga Monkey has a lot of things to keep you on track. It has 10 series, ascending by rank. In each series, there are 10 videos that appear in a timeline. Aside from the series, there’s a calendar to help keep you organized. If there’s a desired effect you’re looking for, you can add additional plugins such as weight loss, better sleep, etc.

Conclusion

Yoga monkey is great for all users. It has a good interface with a system that keeps you motivated to do yoga each and every day.

Download and install Yoga Monkey from the Google Play Store.

The evolution of the Nexus lineup: A look back at Google’s prolific smartphone

Back in 1998, Larry Page and Sergey Brin founded Google. Its mission statement from the outset was “to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.” By 2004, Google went public with stock offering off the massive success of its search functionality. Today, Google (Alphabet)is the world’s second most valuable brand, and we’re here to give you a little background about the smartphone that Google designed to run pure unadulterated Android.

While Samsung is the world’s number one smartphone maker, its flagships run Android with a skin over top called TouchWiz. LG, HTC, Motorola and Sony all have their own skins on top of pure Android, which is part of the reason why Google decided to design its own flagship. Since the start of the Nexus program, Google has never manufactured its own smartphones, instead it partnered with companies HTC, Samsung, LG, Huawei and Motorola to build the Nexus phones.

Nexus-Evolution-750x421

Devices in the Nexus line are considered Google’s flagship Android products. They contain little to no manufacturer or wireless carrier modifications to Android (such as custom graphical user interfaces), although devices sold through carriers are sometimes SIM locked and may bear some extra branding. Nexus 6 devices sold through AT&T, for example, are SIM locked and feature a custom boot splash screen and a logo on the back of the device, despite having otherwise identical hardware to the unlocked variant. – Wikipedia

The Nexus program has developed some great phones in the last five years, and it gains popularity every year. Nexus phones get the fastest access to Android updates, and are the only approved smartphones that can use Google’s own Project Fi (Nexus 6, 5X, and 6P).

Let’s take a look back at Google’s flagships and hope this year’s Nexus puts them all to shame. It’s a little crazy to think that just five years ago we were running Android 2.1, ran single core processors, and had 512 of RAM and 512MB of Memory.

How to install a custom ROM on your Samsung device

0

I did a previous post covering a process to install a custom ROM on any Android device, but there’s a little more footwork for Samsung devices. Your bootloader can be unlocked using the process described in my previous post here.
Once again, we are in no way responsible for damage done to your device or flashing not working properly
To flash TWRP and root your Samsung device, you’ll need Odin or Heimdall. Odin is recommended, but it is only for Windows device, whereas Heimdall is for all major PC OS’.

Flashing TWRP via Odin:

  1. Download the .tar for your device by browsing for your device here and then finding the file with a .tar extension
  2. Reboot your phone into download/Odin mode. You can look up the proper key combo to boot into this mode. It should like the following
  3. Launch Odin from the zip you downloaded earlier. It will look like this
  4. Connect your device. Odin will say “Added!” if it is detected properly
  5. Select AP(or PDA depending on your version of Odin) and find the .tar you downloaded earlier
  6. Make sure that repartition is unchecked and then just click start. This process may take awhile, but you’ll want to be there when your device reboots so you can use the proper key combo to let TWRP patch your system

Flashing TWRP via Heimdall

Note: For heimdall, you will be using twrp.img instead of twrp.tar

  1. Boot your device into Odin mode
  2. Launch Heimdall frontend
  3. Connect your device and make sure it is detected and all your drivers are installed
  4. In Heimdall, go to >Utilities>Download PIT and download the .pit for your device
  5. Go to flash and in the PIT category add the .pit you just downloaded
  6. Click add and select the partition for your recovery and select the twrp.img
  7. Make sure repartition is disabled and click start
  8. When device boots, use your key combo to boot into TWRP and let it patch your system

You can now use adb sideload to flash your ROM as described in my previous post here.

Amber Weather Widget: Just another Weather Widget? (Review)

The Brief

Sometimes names can be deceiving. In the case of Amber Weather Widget, this app is so much more than just a widget. It’s a full-fledged attack on all things weather. Yeah, sure, there are a few widgets that come along for the ride. But the real power shows when you click that widget on your home screen and bring the app full screen.

Digging In

First, long press the home screen and add the widget. There are 3 to choose from. Try them all to see which one you like best. I chose the small one, since I already have a clock on my home page from my alarm app that I like better.

Now it’s time for the magic! Click the temperature on the widget and you are transported to weather heaven. The first thing I needed to do was change the temperature settings to Fahrenheit from Celsius. I did this by clicking the hamburger button at the upper left of the screen and then tapping settings. Here you will have all the settings you need so the app makes sense for your location. You can change:

  • Fahrenheit and Celsius
  • Mph and m/s
  • Mi and Km
  • 12 hours and 24 hours

(Wait, did he say hamburger button? Yes, I did, it’s the 3 straight lines stacked on top of each other that take you to the settings page in most apps.)

Out on the main screen, there is a whole slew of weather info for your current location. From currents to hourly forecast and precipitation for certain days, it’s all here.

Warning: By clicking the customize button, you understand that you will waste at least half an hour trying to pick the best theme for your icons and widget. Obviously, that’s a joke but I really did spend 45 minutes once I found the customize button, downloading themes and icon packs to get the perfect look.

There are free themes and paid themes – some of the paid themes even have a 5-minute trial so you can see if you like it or not before spending $1.49 on it.

After digging a little into the settings, I found that I could even tell Amber Weather to use my alarm app when I click the clock on the widget. I was able to remove the widget for the alarm app that I was using and just use the Amber Weather Widget for opening my alarm app from the home screen (score!).

As with many apps recently, there are paid options. They are $5.99 yearly or $1.99 monthly, this will give you access to all the themes and remove the ads.

In The End

If you are looking for a highly customizable, accurate and downright beautiful weather app, this is the one. Some of the menu items are not described very well and the subscription-based app purchase made me hesitate to pay for it. That being said, this is an awesome app and you should give it a try. You can find Amber Weather Widget for free with an in-app purchase of $5.99 yearly or $1.99 monthly that will remove ads and gives access to all paid themes.

Download and install Amber Weather Widget from the Google Play Store.

How to install a custom ROM on your Android device

0

We get it…you’ve gotten all you can get out of your stock software and it’s time for a change. A solid  custom ROM is a great place to start and I’m gonna give you a guide to help you on your journey.

Notes and disclaimers:
Not all devices are bootloader unlockable. Please do not be angry with us if your device does not unlock and we are in no way responsible for any hard or soft bricking. If you have any issues other than bricking, report it in your device forums on XDA or leave it in the comments and we will do our best to assist

Things to download and how to prepare

Fastboot drivers:

These guides and software will help you install all the necessary drivers about as easily as possible

  • TWRP: Look for your device here and download the proper version of TWRP
  • SuperSU: Required for root(some ROMs may have root default)
  • ROM: There are so many ROMs available. It is recommended to go to your device forum on xda and find the development subforum. For the matter of this post, we used the popular ROM Dirty Unicorn. You can find downloads for it here.
  • GAPPS: These are required for your ROM to run Google Play Services. You can find your processor architecture by searching on gsmarena. If your device has an Intel processor, its x86. If your device has another processor, its likely arm. And then just determine if it is 32 or 64-bit architecture.

Preparing your phone: Unlocking your bootloader will erase all data. Make sure all your pictures and music are backed up either to your preferred cloud storage platform or your sd card. Also, before connecting your device to your computer, go to Settings>About Phone and click Build Number until you see a message saying you are now a developer. After that go to Settings>Developer options and make sure that USB debugging and OEM unlock are enabled(Note: If you don’t see the OEM unlock option, it is no big deal and you can continue with the process.)

Step 1: Unlocking your bootloader

  1. Connect your phone to your PC and make sure it is detected
  2. Open your terminal and type adb reboot bootloader(Your device should display a screen similar to this)
    image
  3. While still in your terminal, type “fastboot devices” to make sure your computer still sees your device
  4. Now type fastboot oem unlock
  5. On your device, use your volume buttons to highlight yes on the confirmation screen that shows up and select it with your power button
  6. Your device should now be bootloader unlocked. Leave your phone connected to your computer IMG_0527-1

Flashing TWRP
Screen Shot 2016-06-09 at 9.29.28 AM

  1. Rename your downloaded TWRP twrp.img
  2. In your terminal type adb reboot bootloader
  3. Now type fastboot devices to make sure your device is recognized
  4. Type fastboot flash twrp.img
  5. Reboot your phone using fastboot reboot
  6. Use the proper key combination to boot into TWRP and let it patch your system.(If your device does not boot corrrectly,flash SuperSU in the next step)

Flashing your ROM

  1. Move the SU download and ROM to somewhere you can find the path of easily. It is also recommended that you rename them to short names like su.zip and rom.zip
  2. Reboot to TWRP on your device
  3. Go into >Advanced>ADB Sideload
  4. On your computer type adb sideload /path/to/file.zip
  5. Your installation will start immediately
  6. If you want your ROM to be rooted, follow the same process for SuperSU
  7. If you want Google Play services, follow this process for it

This process is very general. If your device cannot be unlocked and twrp flashed using this method, look for it in your device forums on XDA.
There are many one-click methods for doing these things, but they don’t always work and may actually be very buggy. A prime example is that Gerson tried to use Windroid and his device almost bricked 5 times.
It is good to note that if your bootloader cannot be unlocked, then you can still get a custom-ish ROM on your device as long as it is signed with your manufacturer keys. For example, my AT&T Galaxy Note 3 is not unlockable, but I am still running the Touchwiz based version of AllianceROM.
Gerson is now on the popular ROM Dirty Unicorns. Screenshots are included below:

Scraby: Simple design and simple to play (Review)

Overview

Who doesn’t like a good word puzzle game? Whether it’s a fast-paced, thinking on your toes style, or a laid back playing the long game, they can definitely keep your mind sharp. Luckily for you there is a new app in town called Scraby. What is Scraby? Let’s find out.

Developer: Bushido Games

Cost: Free

Review

Scraby was until recently only available in Polish. But with the warm reception it had in Poland Bushido Games decided to extend it to English. The game is so short and simple that it only took a few minutes to learn.

When you open the app you are prompted to create a username, and don’t worry, if you don’t like it, it can be easily changed. After that, you click play and you are now in the game.

Scraby6What really sets this game apart is the gameplay. It’s not too far off from Scramble in that you have a bunch of letters mixed up and you have to score as many points as you can in two minutes. Each letter has an assigned value and there are also bonus letters that you can use. The main difference is while creating the words the letters don’t have to touch each other. You can pick any letter off the board that you want from anywhere.

The next thing that really makes it a unique experience is the way you play against other people. They have the same letters as you do on the same board. The game is the same for everybody who is online. There is only one game going on at a time. So when you click play you are added to the game in progress. Once the game is over you are added into another game in ten seconds or you can just leave the game.

Baked inside this game is a leader board among your friends. It doesn’t use Facebook or anything like that, it just recognizes people you have played with that are in the same location as you. The setting is really stripped down to only two options. Light and Dark mode as well as animations on or off. That’s it.

Conclusion

This game isn’t overly complicated or covered in flashy animations that distract you. It’s a simple game with a simple design that can really drive your competitive spirit. I also appreciate that this game is totally free with no ads or in-app purchases of any kind. Bushido Games could easily charge a little for Scraby and it would be totally worth it.

 Download Scraby in the Play Store

Personalize your Nexus 5X, 6P or 6 with a Google Live case (review)

Back in April, Google announced it was launching official Live cases for its Nexus 6, 6P and 5X smartphones. Live cases are personalized smartphone cases where you can put just about any image onto a blank slate for a personal touch to add to your smartphone.

There are two types to choose from, the Photos Live Case, and the Places Live Case.

google live cases

I decided to pick up two live cases for my Nexus 6P to test them out.

Designing your own live cases

The process of designing a Live case is simple. All you have to do is go to the Google Store, select Live Cases, pick from Places or Photos and follow the four step process.

For exact instructions, you can follow my tutorial here.

I chose to do one of each – one of my dog Taro when she was a puppy, and one from Places where I spend most of my time.

Setting up a custom case design is very simple. Google will even warn you if your image is blurry and will result in a blurry print. In both of my cases though, I had no issues with resolution.

You’re free to choose from stock images, or you can place pre selected designs Google has laid out for you, from different colors schemes to different shapes and patterns. In the Live Case I made, I selected a two tone fading color scheme of blue and purple. My Places Case though remained stock from Google Maps.

Cases come with a live wallpaper and NFC chip

What’s an especially cool feature built into both live cases, is an NFC chip that serves as a button to bring in your image from your creation to create a live wallpaper. Once you download the official Live Case app from the Google Play Store, all you have to do touch the case to your phone to activate it.

Your live wallpaper will be the image of your Place or Live photo, so with my Live Case of Taro, my wallpaper became an image of her as well.

The shortcut button on the back can give you one-touch access to places of interest around you, or you can customize the button to open your camera or your favorite app.

DSC02794

Fit and Feel

The fit of the official Google Live cases is perfect. At the time I placed my orders back in April, the Matte option was available, but Glossy was not. Matte provides a smooth finish that doesn’t attract fingerprints and is nice to hold.

DSC02799

As you can see in the images, the cases fit about as perfect as one can ask for.

DSC02793

There’s also a lip that protrudes just above the display to offer drop protection for your screen.

DSC02785

Conclusion

At $35 per case, with shipping included, the price for a custom and well-built case is a great price. It fits perfectly, offers excellent protection for your Nexus smartphones, and looks pretty darned cool. It’s a nice change from the black and clear cases we normally purchase. The only downside to ordering a custom case is the long wait time of 4-5 weeks, but that may be shorter now that it has been available to purchase for a couple of months now.

Get your own custom Live Case from the Google Play Store for $35.

The Nexus 6P is also on sale at Amazon and Newegg for a limited time.

[Review] JolyJoy makes minimal design accessible with an LED lamp

I’ve always been somewhat of a minimalist. Whether it’s trying out the One Backpack Lifestyle, or putting together modern architecture boards on Pinterest, I appreciate minimal and modern design. So when I received an LED lamp in them mail by JolyJoy, I was immediately enamored of its sleek look.

First Impressions

Not only is the lamp minimal, but the packaging is as well. It came in a simple black box with a thin plastic covering, so unpacking it was a breeze. The device comes out of the box fully charged, so you can start using it immediately.

The lamp itself is made of white silicon rubber and aluminum, so it is, dare I say…light. The most interesting feature of the lamp is its flexibility. You can bend it a full 180° back so it lies flat against the table, or bend it forward so it fits inside the packaging. The lamp also comes in black.

LED_lamp04

Features

  • Brand: Joly Joy
  • Item Weight: 1.9 lbs
  • Dimensions: 15.1 x 3.8 x 3.2 inches
  • Light Source: 0.4W – 0.5W
  • Battery: Rechargeable lithium-polymer, 2000mAh

On the top of the base near the front, there is a power button symbol etched into the plastic, but it’s not a button per se. Rather, it is touch sensitive. All you need to do is lightly touch the power symbol to turn it on and off.

At the front of the base you’ll see a small touch panel, to control the dimming/brightness of the light (six dimmable levels) and to cycle it through different shades of white. That’s right, another cool feature is the lamp’s ability to shine in three shades of white: a cool white, a neutral white and a warm white. The shades of white are meant be used for different reading situations in order to help reduce eyestrain.

LED_lamp03

The 2000mAh battery can last up to 30 hours on a single charge, and it takes about three hours to charge it up again with a micro USB port on the base. The lamp comes with a USB cord that’s about 12 inches long.

Fluorescence vs Incandescence vs LED

So what is the difference between these types of light anyway?

Compact fluorescent (CFL) bulbs generate light by sending an electrical charge through an ionized gas mixture of argon and mercury vapor. First introduced in 1970, they were believed to replace incandescent bulbs because of their higher energy efficiency (lasting anywhere from 6,000 – 35,000 hours). But CFL bulbs are more expensive and contain mercury, which caused some people to worry about them as a health hazard.

Incandescent bulbs emit light by heating a metal filament, commonly made from tungsten, inside of a bulb filled with an inert gas like argon. These types of bulbs only last for about 2,000 hours. They aren’t as energy efficient but they are cheaper than CFL bulbs, so this bulb has stuck around for decades.

Light-emitting diode (LED) lights were meant to be a solution to the hazards of CFL bulbs. These lights are called solid state lighting (SSL), because instead of emitting light from a vacuum (incandescent) or a gas (fluorescent), an SSL commonly emits light from a solid piece of matter, like a semiconductor.

LED bulbs aren’t commonly found in most households yet, but they can be even more energy efficient than CFL bulbs, with some lasting up to 50,000 hours. The LED method loses less energy in the form of heat than other light technology.

LED_lamp10

Conclusion

This LED lamp has quickly become one of my favorite products. It’s a little pricey and doesn’t shine as brightly as a traditional incandescent bulb, but it’s more environmentally friendly and rechargeable. And if you’re a lover of modern design as I am, you might like this product too.

Check out the product on JolyJoy’s website for $45, or buy it on Amazon (Affiliate Link).

10 of the absolute best icon packs with Material Design

0

As many of you know, Material Design was a concept introduced by Google in 2014. Slow to see adoption early, it is now seeping into apps, games, and other aspects of the mobile experience. But, not everything we see on our Androids is Material Design. Sometimes it doesn’t make sense, like in the area of games. Where do you add or incorporate that in a game?

The notion of Material Design may not be a big deal to some people but for its fans, it certainly is. Take, for instance, icon packs. You download what looks like a pretty well-designed bundle with all these pretty icons and then suddenly there’s an Angry Birds icon that just doesn’t match.

Take a look through the Play Store and you’ll see there are quite a few with Material Design in mind. Some are done really, really well while others didn’t quite hit the mark. We have combed through the Play Store in search for what we feel are some of the best icon apps with Material Design.

Candy Cons: More than 1,000 icons, nearly two dozen wallpapers, and support for just about every launcher you’ll find. The dynamic calendar option is a cool touch and shows a different corresponding date each day. Throw in the Muzei support for the wallpapers and we’re digging it. Price: Free

Polycon: Over 600 icons and 20 beautiful wallpapers, 14 App drawer icons and 12 folder icons Polycons will certainly brighten up you screen. Price: Free with some in-app purchases

Glim: Featuring long shadows and vibrant color ripped straight from the palette of Material design, Glim has over 1500 HQ icons and support for cloud-based wallpapers with Muzei. Spring for the upgrade and you can get over 2500 icons that feature variant colors of popular apps. Price: Free/$2.79

Moonshine: The original Material Icon pack and still the best. With 925+ icons and 28 homemade wallpapers it has from start embraced Material design and continues to improve. Price: Free

Materialistik Icon Pack: With over 3300 stunning icons, Materialistik also supports Muzei. In order to use this pack, you must download a custom launcher. Since the support 29 launchers, this shouldn’t be an issue. If you act quickly you can catch the sale price. Price: $.99 (sale)

marshmallow-Icon Pack HD: With a long list of supported launchers marshmallow is a subtle, minimalistic & elegant theme. It’s certainly bound to keep your screen looking nice. Price: Free

Urmun: As of right now Urmun is half off…that’s right half off. This gets you 73 beautiful wallpapers, 3,730 icons, and a clock widget. It also supports a dynamic calendar, which is always nice. It’s also updated weekly. Price: $.99 (sale)

MaterialOS Icon Pack: This one is a small one but still packs a big punch. It features 450+ icons and wallpapers from many talented designers. There is also multi launcher support. Price: Free with some in-app purchases

Cygnus: Sleek and sexy, two words to describe this pack. Rocking cloud-based wallpapers, 8 Zooper templates, oh and…800+ icons. Price: Free with some in-app purchases

Clix: As described by the dev, clean, simple and flat. It’s another small pack that features 400+ icons. However, it does have a dynamic calendar and cloud wallpapers. Price: Free
