Tip: Android 11's built-in screen recorder also works for voice calls

Android 11 is the first Android version to ship with a built-in screen recorder on Pixel phones. The native solution has a few tricks up its sleeve compared to third-party options. It's capable of recording sound in a few more places, and you can use that to your advantage when you want to record a phone call (if call recording isn't live in your Phone app, that is). Google even advertises as much in one of its YouTube videos detailing Android 11's top features.

17 features and tricks to help you get started with Spotify

Spotify is one of the world's most popular music streaming services, with 157 million active users (as of December 2017) and over 35 million songs. Originally born in Sweden, it quickly gained popularity as it expanded outside of its home country. Frankly, it's hard to believe that Spotify hit U.S. shores almost seven years ago. For many who were accustomed to mainstays at the time like Pandora and iHeartRadio, Spotify represented something different. And to some of us, its disparity to those other services was off-putting.

Tip: Facebook Messenger For Android Has Hidden Sticker Support, Here's How To Enable It

Tip: Facebook Messenger For Android Has Hidden Sticker Support, Here's How To Enable It

Cameron Summerson Cameron Summerson

Facebook has been making numerous changes to its Android apps as of late, thanks to the arrival of Facebook Home. Sometimes, new features also bring "hidden" options – things that may not be quite ready for prime time but can be accessed within the app. Facebook Messenger has one such "feature" tucked away in its emoticon menu: stickers. Big ol' images with goofy faces and cats and other stuff. I'm not entirely sure why this is a thing that anyone wants, but it's there, and you can use these oversized emoticons now. Fun.

The gist is pretty simple: make your big truck do all kinds of crazy flips, tricks, hops, jumps and other stunts. As a result of landing said tricks, you get paid, which, in turn, you can use the money to modify your truck even more. See where this is going?

Enough chatter. Gameplay:

Don't feel like watching the video? Fine, here are some images. But I'm telling you, the images are lackluster compared the the video.

Motorola XOOM Hack Brings Forth Desktop Browsing, Voice Calls, SMS, And More

Motorola XOOM Hack Brings Forth Desktop Browsing, Voice Calls, SMS, And More

Cameron Summerson Cameron Summerson

WARNING: This fix is for rooted 3G XOOMs only. The Wi-Fi only version is not supported (yet).

Most XOOM owners will tell you that they love their tablet, but that it does have its annoyances - like the fact that the stock browser loads pages in their "mobile" view by default. What good is a 10 inch screen if you can't load the desktop version of a website? Of course, there is the about:debug fix, but that can be tedious, since you have to reapply it every single time you restart.

Thankfully, sangreal06 over the XDA forums has created a hacked framework-res.apk
