Well hey there, fellow Android fanatics! It’s been a good two weeks now since you’ve heard a peep out of me, but have no fear: I’m still alive and I haven’t jumped ship on Android. I’ve actually been pretty hampered down lately, trying to find an even balance between family, the site, school work, real work, and trying to have a bit of fun in the process. As you can s... »
Hey there, our beloved OMG!Droid community members! We’d like to take a brief moment to thank you all for the continued support over the past (almost) 2 years. It’s been a helluva ride so far, and we owe it all to you. Those of you who visit the site frequently may have noticed we’ve undergone a bit of a site redesign over the past week or so. We’ve been hard at work on the... »
Time and time again, we remind you to never underestimate the Android development community. Remember that big Google Now update that stirred up so much hooplah yesterday afternoon? Well in less than 24 hours, we already have two themed versions of both the app itself and that spiffy new widget that’s got everyone and their brother (myself included) drooling as if there was a bucket of fried... »
Just a few days ago, I did a review of NFC Tags for Droid tags, in which I showed you the app I use for all of my tag writing experiments — NFC Task Launcher. Tagstand released an update to said app earlier today that adds some pretty nice new features and functionality, most notably the ability to use Bluetooth and/or WiFi to trigger your tasks. That’s certainly not all that is included in ... »
I already know what you’re thinking, and no we’re not trolling you. There actually is an app out there named Shipoopi Lockscreen Widget. Put aside the widget’s silly name that seemingly plays on feces (Wikipedia says it’s actually a song in the 1957 musical The Music Man by Meredith Willson), and we’re actually dealing with a pretty useful tool here. The introduction ... »
Chrome Beta 25.0.1364.64 out now on Google Play Heads up Chrome Beta users! I just got an update notification on my trusty Galaxy S III of an impending update to version 25.0.1364.64. The most exciting news here is that it looks like scrolling might finally be quicker, which has been one of the biggest complaints we’ve heard when talking about the browser with the community.

Google finally brings back factory image for the Nexus 4 If you own the LG Nexus 4, you might be interested to learn that Google has finally returned the JOP40D factory image for the device to its Developers website. There is still no word on why the file was pulled initially, and even though it was readily available through a number of community outputs during its absence from the official source... »
Thank you again for your support! Earlier this week, we kicked off an exciting giveaway with 7 $10 Google Play Store gift cards up for grabs. The turnout wasn’t nearly what we expected, especially after our original post on Google+ about the giveaway sat atop of the What’s Hot section for a couple of hours on Tuesday. In total, we had just under 400 entries, which is good news for thos... »
Google+ for Android gets even better with latest update It looks like Google Music wasn’t the only app from the search engine giant to get updated today, kids. Just released, the new version is labeled 3.5.0.41809231 and brings with it a few new enhancements, like a revamped notifications tray — now located on the right side of the screen and not the left, like in previous version. Add... »
A Token Of Our Appreciation For Your Support Damn, it feels good to be back. For those who’ve been out of the loop for the past week, we suffered an extended period of downtime over the past few days. Long story short, we lost our entire site, put out a call for help on Google+ to raise the recovery fee monies, and were simply amazed by the show of support from our community. Within 12 hours... »
