-
Recent rumors have been suggesting the Search Giant plans to end the Nexus legacy, altering the naming scheme. The murmurs were vague and hard to wrap our heads around, but now a couple sources are claiming this is true… and that the next Google phones will be branded under the Pixel series.

Arrow Launcher - The Microsoft made Launcher

-
Image
Today, I just tried the Arrow Launcher by Microsoft . I found it very useful as it shows the most recent works on screens which appear on the home. It can work 13 different languages. It has a vertical app drawer just like the Google Now Launcher which also has a vertical app drawer. It shows letters on the right side of the app drawer for fast scrolling and the apps are also grouped by letters which I liked very much. It has a good and attracting look which makes it very friendlier to the people. It has only three-four wallpapers built-in. You have to download the wallpapers if you want more. It works better with the Microsoft apps. It can be a useful launcher if you are looking for a speedy launcher.  You can learn more about this by other people reviews and description of the app on the  play store .

Nova Launcher v5.5 beta (finally) brings adaptive icons support

-
Image
One of the best features Android Oreo bright was the adaptive icons in which developers can make different icon shapes so that the user can choose one according to his like our dislike. Yesterday, Nova Launcher v5.5 came up on Play Store with adaptive icons support. At this moment, I don't think they are working well and are a little bit buggy. By default, they are turned off in the launcher settings.   There are almost only the Google apps supporting the feature with some few others. For those apps, Nova intelligently changes the background with the primary colour of that icon. I don't know if they support only default icons or different icon packs too because on my phone, only when icons are selected to system, the feature works. Anyway, if you also want to give it a try, you can sign in as a beta tester for Nova launcher or install the APK file from the link given down below. Nova Launcher 5.5-beta1

Google will tell you How To Vote

Google wants to make sure you have no excuse for not voting. The search giant on Thursday launched new tools designed to get people more information for November 8, when America goes to the polls. When you ask Google who or what's on the ballot, the search engine breaks it down to national, state and local races. You'll also see local candidates and measures. Google warns, however, that polling data state by state will roll out over the next few days, as the company needs to receive the information from each individual state. The search engine will also tell you where your nearest polling place is. Of course, it will show you how to get there on a map. For the project, Google worked with several voter groups, including the Voting Information Project, the Ballot Information Project and Democracy Works.
