Featured Android App Review: SayIt Voice Launcher [Productivity & Tools]
by Robert Nazarian on tagged Featured Android App Reviews, Featured Android Apps If you’re looking for something new and cool to launch apps, I have one for you. It’s called SayIt Voice Launcher, and it was developed by Rn Software. From the name of the app, you can probably tell that this involves your voice.

Featured Android App Review: Bitdefender Mobile Security & Antivirus [Tools]
by Robert Nazarian on tagged Featured Android App Reviews, Featured Android Apps When it comes to malware and viruses regarding Android, a lot of people like to put fear in you.

Featured ROM Review: Grouper gets Paranoid

I’ve been running it for about a week now and haven’t noticed any bugs at all. I’m referring to version 2.99 as seen in the About Tablet screen shown below. Now Paranoid Android isn’t your typical ROM. It is so much more. It allows you to change your DPI settings to have the phone, phablet and tablet interfaces. Which is a huge reason why everyone loves this ROM. I have tried it before but quickly flashed something different in the past …
