Filed Under: Android, Games on Thursday, 24 September 2015

After the official version of the Pro Evolution Soccer 12 Game, popularly know as PES 2012 for Android was discontinued and removed from Playstore since around 2012, it became boring just like every old game Installed on an Android device and in a bid to bring out more fun in the game, a lot of Android game developers have tried to update the game manually by the transfer of new players, promotion of clubs to respective leagues and more.

But, it was still the same game with different modifications and no attention was payed to other stuffs like stadia, kits, etc and the correct names of individual players in the game.

But a solution was later proffered which not only affected PES, but other games built for the Play Station Portable [PSP] consoles. An emulator which can play all games biult for the PSP on Android, Windows, iOS and a vast number of other OS too.

You can easily manage home screen, widgets and shortcuts.
The launcher has specific-settings, like downloading wallpapers and themes and also applying them.
All your apps are automatically sorted in folders
The launcher creates an option to password protect any app.
Its dialer is pretty cool, alongside the launchers phonebook app, SMS, lock screen and some other cloud service from Xiaomi.

All in all, the Launcher is cool but it doesn't beat my current Launcher from what I've experienced so far. But, I'll be running it as my default Launcher for a week to see if can actually beat my previous Launcher.

You can now Purchase Apps from Playstore in Naira

Filed Under: Android, Apps on Thursday, 13 August 2015

I was Just taking a stroll in my Google playstore today When I sensed this new development. All paid version of apps and games can now be purchased in their Naira equivalent.

It's a welcome development as we no longer have to do conversions before knowing how much an app costs.

That's a nice one tho, for those that really purchase apps or make in-app purchases.

I can also see that the change has been applied to in-app purchases too and it really amazes me how much people really spend on buying those coins.

BTW, for those that'll like to purchase apps from playstore, you'll have setup your Google wallet. This can be achieved by following the easy steps below:

Select the app you want to install and Click on the price.
Select Add Credit or Debit Card
Enter your card details: The first thing they'll ask for is Card Number which is written in front of your ATM card, before your name.
Input that and click Save
Under CVV, check the back of your ATM card, there is a 3-digit number that's your CVV.
After this input the expiry date of your ATM card, this can be found in front of your ATM card under the card number.

Boat Browser For Android - The Best Alternative To Android Browser

Filed Under: Android, Apps, BlackBerry on Saturday, 1 August 2015

Which browser do you use on your Android smartphone?

I know majority will have opera mini, firefox, chrome amongst others on their list. I think I'll actually have to create a poll to determine the most used browser by our readers, but that will be after the introduction of boat browser to you.

What is boat browser?

Boat browser is an Android browser developed by Digital life International and it comes in three different versions; the browser for Android, for Tablets and the Mini version.

Boat Browser for Android

Boat browser for Android is the version that supports Android devices with small screens lower than 6.0". It's very fast, smart, cool and powerful.

Boat Browser for Android supplies many useful features like, Cloud Service, Bookmark Management, Cache to SD, Gestures, Flash Support, Customized UI, Download Manager, Share, Quick Search, App Search, Desktop Mode, Quick Access, Add-ons, Themes and so on.

It's also easily customizable as it allows you to take total advantage of your volume buttons; you can use them to scroll, zoom or even switch tabs which a very good reason for you to drop your previous browser.

It can be downloaded for free but it has some features like Firefox synchronization, ad removal and more which are unlocked with an upgrade to the pro version.

Boat browser for Android | Play store
Boat browser for Android apk | APK

Boat Browser for Tablets [HD]

Boat browser for Tablets is designed for smartphones with large screen, about 7.0" or more. It is designed to meet the internet needs for those with an Android tablet.

I currently used this version on my 7.0" tablet and the feature I find very interesting is the floating widget which allows you to access the internet on a resizable portion of your screen.

Aside that, the browser has it own unique features different from the normal Android version. Features like bookmark backup/sync with google account(drive), firefox desktop and also direct backup on SD card.

It also allows you to go private/secret with incognito browsing and it gives you the perfect control with different gestures for closing tabs, opening new tabs and more.

Boat browser for tablet is available for free download but has some features that requires been unlocked by IAP.

Boat browser Mini

I actually thought I was about to lay my hands on another kind of Opera mini browser not until I was wonderfully disappointed after giving it a trial on my device.

Despite it's very small size, I was very surprised it handled my webpages very correctly without leaving out any part like the opera mini does; and, it even plays YouTube videos successfully which added to my amazement. Small but mighty indeed!

Boat browser mini has an elegant UI different from the normal Android version and it has a wide range of beautiful themes. I even tested it on a BB10 device and it just worked excellently.

It even allows you to do more with it's pro version which removes ads permanently, allows you to open up to 16 tabs and more gestures; up to 15.

Final Verdict!

I've had a comforting experience so far as I don't have much cache to deal with any longer as chrome is already history on my device and I don't have the fear of missing important information on webpages as opera mini is also in the bin already too.

You think I've made a great mistake? Then you have to give boat browser the internet show and let me know how successfully it ran it for you!

Which browser do you currently use? Can you ever get rid of it because of boat browsers? Let's meet in the comments box!

Tecno to Launch Camon C5 Android Lollipop Smartphone with 4G LTE and 3GB RAM

Filed Under: Android, Devices on Wednesday, 29 July 2015

Rumours reaching us from an insider has revealed what tecno has been secretly cooking for a while now. The Chinese company is ready to turn things around a bit with the production of her first 4G enabled smartphone.

The device is said to come packed with 2/3 GB RAM and a 16/32GB memory which is enough to handle a load of Apps readily and effectively. The device is also rumoured to come with an octacore MediaTek processor and it runs on the latest Android lollipop OS.

Also, the device features a 5.0" IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen display with 720 x 1280 resolution. The primary camera is 8MP with dual flash while the selfie shooter is a 2MP camera.

Although, an official price is not fixed yet but I personally think it shouldn't cross the $200/250 USD mark.

It's like tecno is determined to really hit the market very hard this time but my prayer is that our ISPs should have this device accompanied with a very large amount of data to test run the 4GB speed. 😁

Let's call it a day until the Full Specifications, Features, Release date and Price is available. Stay Tuned!
