The King Of Fighters by Japanese outfit SNK was one of those truly great Arcade beat-'em-ups during the nineties. As has been the case for many classic games from decades passed, it's getting a second innings on mobile.
No matter what one might say about Android, the open-source platform is very customizable - allowing users to install a variety of different launchers at will.
Apps such as Tasker and Llama are enthusiast-favorites when it comes to automating tasks, but because of their relatively difficult to use user-interfaces, it’s a little hard to get into setting them up.
HTC's "Sense" is one of the top manufacturer skins on Android and for good reason: while some call it bloated, it is undoubtedly one of the most powerful skins of the bunch. Rooting and flashing different tweaks enhances Sense but no tweak enhances HTC Sense like developers j4n87's (co-developed by richmondo & m0narx) "LeeDroid Tweaks".
Smartphones of today are the ultimate example of the convergence of technology. These devices act as a camera, music player, video player, internet communications device, a phone and, in relation to this post, a powerful torch.
You only need to stop for a second and have a look at the number of smartphone devices and tablets available in the marketplace to understand just how popular mobile devices are becoming in our everyday lives. For seasoned users of these devices, the ownership decision generally isn't a difficult one as they tend to have their preferred manufacturers and preferred OSes and will only deviate if something exceptional enters the public domain. However, for those who may be new to the smartphone or tablet ownership, the decision about what device or OS to opt for can be somewhat overwhelming.
If you have a smartphone or a tablet, you most certainly must’ve observed how it charges slowly through a USB connection than through when it is connected to an AC power outlet. I’m not really sure why this is the case (it has something to do with how USB ports draw less power), but chad0989 over on popular Android development forums XDA-Developers has found a way to get AC outlet-level fast charging on Galaxy Nexus through a USB connection by using his kernel patch.
Have I mentioned how Android is really good with context-sensitive apps? Just a few days ago we covered Timeriffic which allowed users to set custom WiFi/data, ringtone and notification, media/system volume settings based on the time of the day. One area where Timeriffic lacked was in its inability to set profiles based in other contexts.
A new app for Android smartphones is designed to add a little flair and control to a fundamental part of the operating system: multitasking. Called Taskbar Switcher, this free app is available for download now from the Android Market / Google Play Store, or whatever Google is calling it today!
While the iPhone 4S has, hands down, the best camera on a smartphone today, HTC’s last flagship device - the HTC Sensation - is no slouch. It takes sharp 8MP stills and Full HD 1080p videos.
