The latest version of the Play Store is now being pushed out to devices all around, version 3.10.14. Looking into the app and all its details (code changes) we haven’t seen any major changes, especially not to us end users. The only notable change is related to code involving billing details, other than that this is probably just a bug fix-er, like the other apps Google has updated this week... »
WhatsApp Messenger — a popular instant messaging client across not only Android, but BlackBerry, iPhone, Windows Phone and Nokia phones as well — has been available on Google Play for a while now. I’ve never been a fan of the app myself, and one of the biggest reasons for that was I didn’t like the UI. It just feels a bit clunky and too reminiscent of an app I used to love ... »
Clockworkmod pushes an update to Carbon App Sync and Backup. You speak, Koush listens. Today Twitter greeted me with a surprise. Carbon App Sync and Backup already has an update! For a crack flasher like me, this app is a God send. I use it pretty much daily to backup my settings for the apps that are pain to get set up when I have to reinstall them. Now I can back up to my external SD card in add... »
Google updates their Wallet with a very beautiful looking UI redesign. Finally Google has updated its Wallet app once more and has applied their own guidelines to the app — yep the same guidelines that they try to get other app developers to abide by, hypocrites. Aside from that though the app does look quite sexy, and I must say I like where Google may be going with this. Now it’s tim... »

Remember when Flipboard appeared on Android, starting off with a Galaxy S 3 exclusivity period, and it was all the rage? Yea neither do I. The iOS ported app is simply a new way to have your news aggregated along with your social networks. Yet, some people like to have the novelty of flipping to read, to each their own I guess. I can’t deny that the app is well polished. Well today the team ... »
On Monday we shared what information we could find out about the Exynos Kernel Vulnerability that has been discovered in the Galaxy Note 2, Note 10.1, Galaxy camera, international Galaxy SIII and the international/sprint versions of the Galaxy SII. Since then, Samsung has released an official statement: “Samsung is aware of the potential security issue related to the Exynos processor and pla... »
A while back, I wrote an article about a mod that could be applied to install Google Wallet on the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S III running Jelly Bean stock-based ROM’s. A lot has changed in the past two months since writing that. Now, thanks to XDA Senior Member Prl91, you can install Wallet on the AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile GS3 with a simple one-click procedure that can be ran via an inst... »

We throw the thread up on Google+, and you leave a comment in the original threa... »
Still hanging on to that old Samsung Galaxy S II? By all means, we’re not knocking you if you are. It’s still not a bad phone, and it still gets a lot of love from the Android development community. Those of you who’ve kept tabs on the Galaxy Note II are probably familiar with the Multi-Window feature, but just in case you’ve never heard of it, it’s a built-in part of Touc... »
