XP Mod Is A Custom Launcher That Hearkens Back To A Simpler, Less Modal Time

Posted by in Applications, News

In the never-ending debates of morality, philosophy, and the meaning of life, the complexities of the universe manifest themselves in one universal mantra: no one can agree on anything except that the world is going to pot and things were better when we were younger and life was "simpler." In an effort to help make the world a little brighter, or just indulge in a bit of nostalgia, XP Mod brings your Android device back to 2001 by turning it into a Windows XP desktop.

The app starts with the traditional Windows XP startup noise and plops you into the familiar desktop minus the rolling hills.

First Aid - American Red Cross App Should Be Installed On Every Phone Ever

Posted by in Applications, News

With all the cool, fun things our mobile devices can do—from looking up movie info, to games, to social networking, to being amazing cameras—we can sometimes forget that these devices can be valuable and necessary tools. This new app, First Aid - American Red Cross, reminds us to use our phones for important, potentially life-saving purposes, as well as for fun.

The app has information on how to deal with a variety of first aid scenarios, including burns, choking, bleeding, head injury, poison, and strokes, among many others. The app has information and guides, as well as quizzes and tests to see how much you've learned.

Hovernote Is A Floating Notepad To Add To Your Floating App Arsenal

Posted by in Applications, News

Here at Android Police, we love floating apps. Love, love, love, love, love 'em. And here's yet another one that we're adding to the list of floating apps we love: Hovernote. It's simply a note app that hovers over whatever you're doing. In a world where it's necessary to launch a full-screen app on a ten inch device to jot down three words, Hovernote is a godsend.

As you can see from the screenshots above, you can have multiple notes open, copy, paste and share from them, and even use the app on phones.

NextCall Helps You Keep Track Of Important Contacts You Haven't Called In A While

Posted by in Applications, News

As our address books become more advanced and we become more and more inundated with information, it can become difficult to keep up with all the people we need to interact with on a regular basis. NextCall augments your address book by letting you rank important contacts, set alerts for when you need to call them, and sort your contacts into business and personal categories.

The app will keep track of how long it has been since you last called a certain contact, so you can keep track of who you've been neglecting. The app has a clean, ICS-themed interface, and is completely free, including free of ads.

[New App] Songkick Comes To Android, Creates Concert Calendars Based On Your Music Tastes And Location

Posted by in Applications, News

Songkick is a fantastic service that helps avid concert fans track bands and concerts in their local area based on their music tastes. Well, now, the service is coming to Android with its shiny new app. Songkick can scan your music library, Google Music account, and Last.fm artist to create a custom calendar of all the shows in your area you might like. Smart!

The app is extremely slick and appears designed with ICS in mind, which certain older apps have only just started to get on board with. So, it's nice to see this one start with the new UI out of the gate.

Facebook Launches App Center To Curate And Recommend Mobile Apps

Posted by in Apps/Games, News

Facebook already knows quite a lot about you and your friends, so why not use all that data to help find the best apps? This is exactly what Facebook is looking to do with its new App Center. Don't fret, though. This isn't yet another place for developers to upload and manage their apps. This is more of an online catalog infused with social smarts.

Facebook says the service will launch right now with over 500 apps, but didn't specify what the split would be between iOS and Android. However, the social network did say it would only be dealing in "high-quality apps, based on feedback from people who use the app." The apps it recommends will depend heavily on what your friends use and like.

Evernote Food: Now You Can Save, Share And Relive That Deep-Fried Triple Twinkie Bacon Sandwich In Excruciating Detail

Posted by in Applications, News

While after a discussion we at Android Police were unable to determine exactly why Evernote couldn't implement the functionality of its newest Android app, Food, into the existing Evernote app, we were able to settle on one thing: people take too many pictures of the things they eat. Evernote Food wants you to do this more, though, and has a veritable cornucopia of tools at your disposal to make you the ultimate delicacy documentarian.

In all seriousness, this does look to be a pretty good app for creating your own visual, step-by-step recipes (you can take photos and caption them as you go), something I can appreciate.

ClamBook Is A Lapdock For Your Android Phone That's Better Than (And Is Compatible With) Webtop

Posted by in News

Motorola introduces a novel idea with its Atrix phone: a lapdock. The idea was simple. All these Android app can be extremely productive, so why limit them to a single, small screen? Plug your phone into the lapdock, use its frankly-over-powered processor to run a larger screen with a keyboard and trackpad. Well, that's exactly what the ClamBook does. Only it does it way better.

As you can see in the renders above, when most phones are plugged in, you're presented with a tablet-styled UI. The device doesn't appear to be touchscreen, but Android has had support for mouse functionality since Android 3.1, so you won't be stuck.
