[New App] Notifications Off Gives You A Handy Way To Selectively Banish Apps From Your Notification Bar

Posted by in Applications, News

If you've tried as many apps and games as we have, you've probably come across one or two that were great... with the exception of annoying, vaguely spammy notification alerts. Starting with Jelly Bean 4.1, there's a simple and somewhat obscure solution: check the App Info menu to disable notifications. But that can get tedious, especially if you're setting up a new device. Developer Giorgi Dalakishvii has created a more elegant solution, which puts notification settings for all your apps in one handy place.

[New App] SwitchMe Lets You Swap Between Multiple Android Profiles On A Single (Rooted) Device

Posted by in Applications, News

If there's one thing that the desktop world has that Android desperately needs, it's multiple user support. A shared Windows machine or a Mac both support multiple user profiles on a single device. While this isn't that big of a deal on phones, tablet users might find it unsettling passing around a shared device tied directly to their all-knowing Google account. Enter SwitchMe, an app to help alleviate the uncertainty. This root app allows users to boot into multiple profiles within a single ROM.

This app is for rooted users only.

The app creates a sandbox for individual profiles, including applications, settings, and data that are stored on the device and loaded when logging in.
