5 Useful Android Apps

Hi folks, wish you a very happy new year. Its a day to start working on your new year resolutions. So, all the best!

Smartphones are ideally made for easing up our life by saving some time, like instant communication in all formats (text, audio, video), bookings on the go and now a days payments on the go!

Here we are looking for some android apps that will help us to make some things more easier and under control.

1) SMS Organiser:

This is an messaging app by Microsoft which is replacement of your default messaging app. This app organizes your inbox into categories - Personal, Transnational,  Promotional, Archived and Blocked.

This will save a lot of you time while searching an SMS from particular sender. Also it has one cool feature that will ease the OTP authentication process, while doing bank transactions.


2) Datally:

Now a days mobile data has become so cheap that we cant even imagine that we were paying so much amount for 1GB data for a month. Thanks to Jio revolution!
But the 1GB data per day is also sometimes become insufficient. So there were many apps which promise to save our data by turning off background data used by many apps. But many of them contain annoying ads, unwanted links which will prompt us to install some apps.
So here comes Google's Datally - mobile data saving and WiFi app.


While setup it will ask you for access permission, when we grant it, it can monitor our apps data usage and suggest the high data using app. We can urn off the data usage of any app while on mobile data. It also has feature of 'Find WiFi' to look for nearby wifi networks.

3) Files Go:

This is another app from google and a part of it's 'Go Initiative', which is useful  files management, cache clean and file transfer.

There are many apps like Share It, Clean Master, Battery Booster, which all will put extra load on your battery instead of reducing it.

So google has designed the apps which suits for battery optimization used by android. So, get rid of all such fake cleaners, file transfer apps and use Files Go!


4) Snapseed:

This is a photo editing app by google, its been there from quite a lot of time. This has a lot of features to make your click more beautiful and worth for upload!

There are Styles to apply on photo.


There are many tools to bring your creativity out.


So photo-enthusiasts can give a try and turn your snaps into masterpieces!

5) Nova Launcher:

There is a concept of launcher which builds your screen GUI on any android phone. Mobile manufacturers provide their own launchers (like MIUI by Xiomi , EMUI by Honor and TouchWiz by Samsung) or some use Stock launcher (Moto, Nokia) .
But the level of customization provided by them is different, and this makes mix and match of usefulness to users. Some of them become user's personal choices too!
So, here Nova launcher comes into the picture, which provides tons of customization options, without compromising on device performance.  You can adjust grid size of app icons, icon size,  icon label font, google search bar type, folder style, icon packs, notification badges and much more.
It seems more confusing while reading, but you can give a try. You will find it is so easy and fun to organize your phone so that you find your apps easily and also good looking phone screen.
Here are some screenshots of nova launcher :-




Customization can turn your screen layout like this :-


There are many videos available on YouTube for setting up Nova Launcher, check them out and enjoy your new interface!


This was my take towards some of useful apps on android that were used by me. I hope that some of them will be useful for you.

Thanks for reading and do comment on this for improvement and suggestions.
Take care and see you in next post!

Meltdown and Spectre : Backdoors in Modern Processor

In recent days, the technological world is roaming around two words "Meltdown" and "Spectre". They are not merely just simple words but are the vulnerabilities found in modern processors that run our computers, laptops, smartphones, wearables and many modern gadgets. These vulnerabilities allow programs to steal data, which is currently processed CPU(the heart of processor). Generally the memory used by processor is very secure and only kernel in operating system (main program that executes all the instructions) can access or modify this memory. No user program or software can access the memory directly. So the data remains secure while the CPU is processing it. This secure data can be saved passwords, encryption keys and critical documents. The devices that use processors can be affected by this kind of attacks! This means every smart device connected to any kind of network!  Meltdown and Spectre work on computers, Mobiles and Cloud. The matter of concern is tha...
