You can use Genymotion app to continue using your Android apps on a desktop PC or laptop.There are various methods (like Bluestacks) of running Android apps on a PC, but these can be tricky to set up and vary greatly in the levels of performance and compatibility. Genymotion is relatively simple to install and provides pre-packaged Android installations which you can download and run on your PC or Mac. Best of all, it's fast and supports accelerated graphics quick enough even to run cutting edge 3D games.

There is something special for Developers
For developers, it also supports battery and GPS widgets so you can emulate different charging and power scenarios and test out how apps work in different World locations.

How to download and run Genymotion
To download Genymotion, you will need to sign up at genymotion.com. Once you've validated your email address and signed in, you can elect to download a version for Windows with VirtualBox included, or a version for Windows, Mac OS, Ubuntu or Debian, which will require you to have VirtualBox already installed. Once you've installed the software, sign in with your Genymotion credentials and you can select from a list of virtual Android devices with varying hardware configurations and versions of the Android operating system. We would recommend downloading any of the latest available versions, which will fit comfortably on the screen and come bundled with Google apps. Your virtual Android device will then be automatically downloaded. All that remains for you to do is click the Play button and start it up. You can then sign into your new device with your Google account and download and run any apps you wish.

App of the day : QuickPic
Price : FREE.
Prime use : A lightweight replacement for your stock gallery.
Pros : Light weight and lightning fast still free.

Most people only view their photos on the device they took them on so it makes sense
to make the viewing experience as pleasant as possible. That is exactly what this app offers.

QuickPic can either be used in addition to your stock gallery or can replace it entirely. Once installed, you can choose to openyour images through QuickPic or your standard gallery. If you're sold by it you could, if you have the option, make it the only gallery available on your device. The biggest benefit of QuickPic is speed. It is a lot quicker than any Android gallery and can handle hundreds of images without slowing down your phone, this is all because of robust cache system used in app. The images are presented in grids grouped by individual folders. Images are really bright and dynamic on the flick-throughpresentation mode. You can also choose which folders to include in your gallery and keep your private ones hidden.
You should also look at VSCO camera(capturing sharp photos) and Snapseed(editing photos with ease).

Thanks for the TIP Niraj Dodia.

Get QuickPic from Google play.

Anyone can do the normal customization of android with skinned launchers and modded apps, some of us use advance way to mod apps by flashing zips or switching to Custom ROMs. But the easiest way of modding is XPOSED.

With help of Xposed Framework, you can apply mods/Tweak system just by downloading and installing a "module". Just download...Install...Reboot and you are good to go.

Warning: This app needs root, I am not responsible for any damage to your phone caused by rooting. Do some research before you execute.

Xposed framework can be installed on any ROOTED Android phone running 4.0.3+. Here is the direct download link for xposed installer. Once you've installed you shoyld search for good xposed modules, here is list of xposed modules.
You can also find some best xposed tricks here. You can get ParanoidAndroid's Halo. You can use GravityBox to edit most visual aspect of android. If you have samsung device then you should also try Wanam Xposed

After installing any module you must reboot. If you get stuck on bootloot then too there is a easy solution. All you need to do is flash a zip from recovery, go to recovery>flash Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip which you will find on your SD card.

Bottomline
If you don't want to move from stock rom or want to add more tweaks to your custom rom Xposed the best way for it and so far its safest way of modding android. Xposed does not really edit ANY SYSTEM FILE so you can revert back anytime.

Want to edit images in apk? Use my tool EAIT.

If you have an Android phone you don’t need to stick with the stock browser, you can easily install third party browser for your purposes. Not all of them are perfect in every field and your needs. Let’s see which one is perfect for what is perfect for you…

I want best rendering accuracy - Use Google Chrome

Google Chrome is now pre-installed browser in most phones and it’s available to download on play store for device running 4.0+. One of the key features is Sync with desktop chrome. Chrome is one of the best browser when it comes to user-friendly interface and rendering accuracy, but it’s slow while loading pages on low speed data connection like 2G. It has Flash as well aa HTML5 support and one of the best renderer. Multi-tab browsing in Chrome is heavenly feeling. Chrome is recommended Wi-Fi and 3G users.

I want to save my data and load page faster – Use Opera MINI

I want to get most powerful inbuilt downloader – Use UC browser

I want to get all-in-one package – Use Dolphin Browser.

Dolphin Browser has lots of addon features. The app features easy multi-tab browsing, excellent bookmark and browsing history support, multi-touch zooming, simple navigation, Flash and HTML5 support. The interface in particular is excellent, it features two sidebars which can be accesed by swiping. Inbuilt downloader is also great while downloading large files.

Popular iOS camera app VSCO Cam is now available on the Google Play Store for devices running Android 4.0 and+.

VSCO Cam is future of Android mobile photography. Utilizing innovative technology, VSCO Cam makes it easier to take sharp images comparatively better than your stock camera app.
The superior technology of VSCO Cam is best seen in the editing of images. VSCO Cam includes a set of Presets and Tools with adjustable strengths, for efficient editing and precise customization. Professional snappers would like to add more presets and tools, which are available in the In-App purchases. You can do most things from vivid colors to black and whites. The app has inbuilt image gallery with thumbnails. You can easily share your photos with VSCO inbuilt sharer.

What we liked
>Photo quality
>Interface
What we didn’t like
>Images take almost double the space than the one from stock app.

You can use snapseed for more editing.

If your device includes expansion mSD card capability, it is very tempting to just move every app to the card to save on internal memory. This will offer some performance benefits thanks to the extra memory, but if you use an app stored on the external card a lot, you could be forgoing these improvements with reduced performance when opening the app each time. The general rule of thumb, if you have enough internal memory, is to try to keep your most often used apps stored away from an expansion card(Or get faster SD card like Class 6 and above), remember RAM in android works in different way

New Year is coming and many of us are planning to get a new phone/tablet but not all of us have 40k to spend on phones, so today I will share some good budget friendly and "Value for money" Android devices.

Xolo Q600
Xolo Q600 is powered by 1.2GHz Quad Core Cortex -A7 processor with 512MB of RAM enough to handle most of the apps and games available on play store. Phone is running on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean) and Google now is working buttery smooth. With 4.5-inch FWVGA display this is not a good one for watching videos but still looks crisp and bright enough.
Q600 has 5 MP snapper and 0.3 MP secondary camera. Dual sim support is also good deal for those who don't want to carry two cheap phones. Battery life is good, with 2000mAH battery you can squeeze up to 1.5 day of mix usage.
>Buy Xolo Q600 from Flipkart<

Xolo Q700
Xolo Q series is all about "cool phones at lower price", Q700 is not different. Basically Q700 is improved version of Q600 and in my opinion Q700 is the phone from where actual "Performance" starts in Android.
Not like Q600, the Q700 has more RAM - 1GB, more battery - 2400mAH, better qHD IPS display. Rest specs are almost similar to Q600.
>Buy Xolo Q700 from Flipkart<

Sony Xperia M/M Dual
Xperia M is one of the cheapest phone with NFC capability. Running on older Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) phone still has no lags while doing day to day stuffs because of 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 dual core processor along with 1GB of RAM. 5 MP primary camera is not for professional snappers but does the job for casual photographers. 4-inch Display looks extremely sharp and crisp. Xperia M also have dual-sim version.

Motorola Moto G
We have mentioned previously about Moto G. It may completely change the whole budget friendly android phone's definition.
Running on latest 4.4.2 KitKat OS with 1.2GHz Qualcomm Cortex-A7 quad core and 1GB ram, Moto G has beaten many top end phones in Benchmarks.
Phone is about to launch (1st or 2nd week of January), so one must wait for 2 weeks if planning to buy phone within 15k
>Read more about Moto G<

Sony Xperia L
Sony Xperia L is Slim and Lightweight phone designed for youngsters. Phone is powered by 1 GHz Dual core Krait Qualcomm processor along with 1GB of RAM, don't think that this is dual core and not powerful, Krait processor lineup is all about performance and top range by Qualcomm.
8 MP Camera with Flash for snapping is good deal and 0.3MP front camera is available for video calling. Xperia L still runs on Android 4.2 but 4.3 and 4.4 update are on the way. As usual Sony has provided some special Audio and Camera improvements

Asus-Google Nexus 7(2012) tablet
We have already discussed why 1 year old Nexus 7 tablet still worth the money. It’s now available for 8-9k.

Don't worry about Updates, Being a Google phone Moto G will surely get quicker software updates and good developer support for Aftermarket modding/rooting/custom roms

Great internals...
Moto G under the hood is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset with 1.2GHz Quad-core Cortex-A7 CPU accompanied by Adreno 305 GPU & 1GB of RAM. Moto G has scored more then 17k in AnTuTu benchmark(few points more then Nexus 4). The device is extremely fast(comparable to any sub-40k device) in day to day works.

Moto G supports USB On-The-Go, it means you can easily plug your Keyboard,Mouse, USB flash storage such as pendrives(Even externally powered hard disk) and mSD cards with tiny card readers such as Meenova. OTG supports makes it easier for users to share/Save lots of data.
Full day lasting battery...
Moto G is powered by 2,070 mAh Non-removable battery With Moto G one can easily last for day of mix usage. GSMArena battery benchmark is about 54H enough for anyone in the age where most budget phones are suffering to last even a full day Moto G will be new era of android :P.

Only two drawbacks I found...
1)Limited storage(8GB or 16GB out of which 5.5GB and 13GB is user available respectively), no SD card slot though you can plug sd card reader with USB OTG. You will also get 50GB of google drive space to compensate this.
