<div style="text-align: center;">
Today was the rumored date for the Android 
4.4 update to hit US Cellular's Moto X, and in this case the speculation
 was right on the money. Motorola has updated the help page and release 
notes with OTA details, and Motorola's Punit Soni also confirmed the 
rollout on Google+.

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Android 4.4 is going to reach users in stages, with the first 
phase starting today. There will be some improvements specific to the 
Moto X in this update, not just the usual KitKat stuff. Here are the 
details on what you'll be getting with Android 4.4 on the USC Moto X: </div>
<div class="note" style="text-align: center;">
<div class="notetip">
<ul>
<li>Android™ 4.4, KitKat: Android 4.4, KitKat, is the latest release
 of the Android platform. KitKat includes enhancements such as restyled 
status and navigation bars, a new full-screen mode, color emoji support,
 improved closed captioning support, stronger security, smarter power 
use, and more tools and capabilities for better app development.</li>
<li>Phone dialer: Improved the phone app with the ability to look up 
contacts directly from the dial pad, see and tap frequent contacts, and 
search your corporate directory easily.</li>
<li>Camera - Focus and exposure: Enhanced the "touch to focus" option 
with a new circular, on screen control that can be dragged by your 
finger around the viewfinder to adjust a photo's focus and exposure.</li>
<li>Gallery - Photo editing: Added new photo editing options to the 
Gallery app including new filter effects, draw on your photos, advanced 
cropping, and adjustments to color, exposure, contrast and more.</li>
<li>Hangouts -SMS/MMS support: Incorporated a new version of Google 
Hangouts that supports integrated SMS/MMS messaging. Hangouts can be set
 as the default SMS app under Settings > Wireless > Default SMS 
app.</li>
<li>Touchless Control - "Find my phone": Added a new "Find my phone" 
command to Touchless Control. Just say "OK, Google Now-find my phone" 
and your Moto X will ring loudly to let you know where it's hiding when 
you've misplaced it nearby.</li>
<li>NFC - Host card emulation: Enhanced support for NFC Host Card 
Emulation (HCE), to improve experiences such as contactless payments, 
loyalty plans, transit passes, card access and more.</li>
<li>Accessory support: Added support for Square credit card reader</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You will eventually be able to pull the update from the system menu, 
but you'll have to wait for the update to be available first. It's 
probably best to wait for the update notification. And yes, this means 
the <a class="external" href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/bg81efolfn26C3849B243ABA6A6" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Sprint">Sprint</a> Moto X is the only variant that lacks Android 4.4. Soni says they're working on it, though. </div>

Latest SwiftKey Beta Introduces A Simplified Installer, Because Sometimes What Works Can Still Use Fixing

 this time around. The team has altered the keyboard installation 
process to make it easier to follow. The new one has fewer steps, 
reducing how much the user is presented with out of the gate.

<div style="text-align: center;">
Upon first glance, it definitely looks less imposing. Does a new user
 need to know about SwiftKey Cloud just to try out the keyboard? And 
what is SwiftKey Flow other than branding? These changes are currently 
only available in the latest 4.4 beta, and the SwiftKey folks have 
provided a <a class="external" href="http://bit.ly/skinstallbeta" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">direct download link</a> with the APK.

print HTC One Receives Minor OTA Update To Software Version 3.05.651.3 That Fixes "No SIM Card" Issue

<div style="text-align: center;">
There are still a few months to go before the standard HTC One gets upgraded to Android 4.4, but in the meantime, <a class="external" href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/bg81efolfn26C3849B243ABA6A6" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Sprint">Sprint</a>
 is rolling out a minor OTA to the aluminum-bodied flagship. This update
 addresses an issue following a previous upgrade where users were 
presented with a "No SIM Card" message informing them that 4G LTE will 
not work without the required card. The phone should now also more 
accurately display how strong a radio signal it is picking up. These 
fixes are joined by an HD Voice improvement.
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The software update is version 3.05.651.3. You can check manually for
 the software update, or you can simply wait for it to come. There's 
little that's urgent here for the majority of users, but updates are 
updates.</div>

Any.DO's Drop Dead Gorgeous Calendar App Cal Is Now In The Play Store

adnane 1 Applications, News February 12, 2014

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you need a good calendar app? Do you need a good calendar app that's <em>freakin' beautiful</em>?
 Then check out Any.DO's Cal, a top iOS iCal alternative that just made 
the jump to Android. Cal features all the stuff you need in a typical 
calendar app and then some, and wraps it all up in a functional, 
minimal, readable interface that focuses on content. It's a free 
download in the Play Store. We had a hands-on a with the app a few weeks
 ago, <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" title="">which you can check out here</a>. 
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="unnamed (13)" height="386" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_unnamed-13_thumb1.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="unnamed (13)" width="217" /> <a class="fancybox" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="fancybox" title="unnamed (12)"><img alt="unnamed (12)" height="386" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_unnamed-12_thumb1.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="unnamed (12)" width="217" /></a> <a class="fancybox" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="fancybox" title="unnamed (11)"><img alt="unnamed (11)" height="386" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_unnamed-11_thumb1.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="unnamed (11)" width="217" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The core of Cal is its sync feature with Any.DO,
 a to-do list that we've written about before. To-do items are 
automatically added to your calendar along with relevant contact and 
location information, if you've added it in. Naturally it will also sync
 with Google Calendar - you don't even need to sign in, it will import 
events from calendars saved on your phone automatically - Exchange, 
Outlook, Yahoo, AOL, and Apple's iCloud. Cal integrates with Facebook 
and, strangely, the car rental service Uber in supported cities. Each 
daily view is given its own photo background, sort of like the featured 
photos on Bing, and you can select which general categories you want via
 the settings menu. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
 In truth, Cal doesn't do that much more than Google Calendar and its
 innumerable alternatives, it just does all the core stuff so well that 
it's hard to resist. The interface is decidedly non-Holo, a sort of mix 
between Windows 8-style flat icons and the general minimalism that's 
getting popular all over the web and the Play Store. That being said, 
after trying Cal I've haven't seen any action that isn't obvious in the 
context of its screen, both on the tablet and smartphone interface. 
That's more than I can say for other whiz-bang apps
 that hype up their UI. It's also got an integrated calendar widget (a 
must-have for some users), but unfortunately there's only one agenda 
view available. Performance on my Nexus 5 is great, though some of the 
early reviews are reporting that the fancy animations can be choppy even
 on high-end hardware. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="unnamed (10)" height="240" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_unnamed-10_thumb1.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="unnamed (10)" width="135" /> <a class="fancybox" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="fancybox" title="unnamed (15)"><img alt="unnamed (15)" height="240" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_unnamed-15_thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="unnamed (15)" width="359" /></a> <a class="fancybox" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="fancybox" title="unnamed (9)"><img alt="unnamed (9)" height="240" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_unnamed-9_thumb1.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="unnamed (9)" width="135" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you're looking for a calendar that's a treat for both your eyes 
and your schedule, you should definitely check out Cal and the original 
Any.DO app. You'll need an Android 4.0 phone or tablet to join in. </div>

Motorola's $150 Off Moto X Sale Is Live Now – Limited Quantities Available [Update: Sold Out Already!]

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Update</strong>: Despite allegedly 
increasing the number of devices available through the promo, all the 
spots are already gone. It took under 10 minutes. There are going to be a
 lot of unhappy folks out there, but there's another slot open next 
Monday. 
<div align="center">
<img alt="2013-12-04 11_13_05-Motorola - A Google Company" height="217" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_2013-12-04-11_13_05-Motorola-A-Google-Company_thumb.png" style="display: inline;" title="2013-12-04 11_13_05-Motorola - A Google Company" width="640" /></div>

 for Motorola on Cyber Monday – it turns out people really like getting 
$150 off a full-price phone and pretty much crushed Motorola's website 
on Monday. To make up for it, the company announced two more sale days, 
today and next Monday. It's first come, first serve and limited 
quantities are available each day. </div>
<div align="center">
<img alt="2013-12-04 11_00_46-Motorola - A Google Company" height="253" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_2013-12-04-11_00_46-Motorola-A-Google-Company_thumb.png" style="display: inline;" title="2013-12-04 11_00_46-Motorola - A Google Company" width="640" /></div>
If you want in on the deal, head to the Motorola Holiday Sale page 
and register for the promo. You will get a code in your email that is 
valid for one week, so you've got time to decide exactly how to proceed.
 Keep in mind this is only for the Moto Maker version of the device for 
the big four carriers – the developer edition phone was not subject to 
the website issues on Monday and sold out. The cost of the off-contract 
devices will work out to $349 for the 16GB and $399 for the 32GB. The 
promo code THANKS from Black Friday is still valid for 30% off 
accessories too. <br />

The promo code approach is probably designed to spread out purchases 
and ease the strain on the Moto maker site. Still, you probably want to 
snag the code early. Good luck. <br />

MOGA Hero And Pro Power Review: This Is Exactly How To Make A Better Mobile Controller

Last year, PowerA tried to change the game 
(quite literally) with its MOGA (later changed to MOGA Pocket) and MOGA 
Pro controllers. While the idea was great and execution was decent, 
there was still a lot of room for improvement with both. This year's 
models – the Hero Power and Pro Power – not only look to improve the 
overall form factor and experience over last year's models, but also 
bring more juice and the ability to charge your device <em>while you play</em> using the internal battery. Sounds great, right? Sure, but at $60 and $80 respectively, the question is <em>are they good enough to warrant the price? </em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've spent the last few weeks playing with both controllers, so it's 
time to breakdown how they're different and/or better than their 
predecessors, and find the answ</div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Hero Power</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>Left: MOGA Pocket; Right: MOGA Hero Power</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Hero Power is basically re-vamped version of the MOGA Pocket (the original MOGA), and <em>holy crap</em>
 it is so much better. All of the annoyances with last year's model – 
like the need for replaceable batteries, the non-clicky joysticks, and 
lack of a D-pad – have been fixed. As much progress that's been made, 
however, there's still some work to be done. Before we get to that, 
though, let's take a look at what the Hero offers, and exactly what's 
different from last year's model.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first noticeable difference is the size – the Hero is longer, 
thicker, and wider than the Pocket, which gives it a more comfortable 
feel when playing. It's not so much larger than it becomes difficult to 
carry, however – it's still very much a pocket-sized, on-the-go 
controller. I like that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The button configuration on the Hero is also drastically different 
than last year's model, in that it not only has more buttons, but the 
existing ones have also been improved to be larger and more clicky. Fun 
fact: I like doing controller reviews just so I can use the word 
"clicky."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For example, the joysticks are now raised and clickable (like a 
joystick should be), instead of the strange recessed joystick on the 
Pocket. Directly below the left joystick is now a D-Pad, instead of that
 weird cluster of buttons with start, select, and the MOGA keys. That's a
 huge upgrade in itself. Start and select have been moved to either side
 of the arm that holds the phone, which feels far more natural. The Hero
 also has two sets of shoulder buttons now, as opposed to the single set
 on the Pocket. Rounding out the button differences here, the Hero's 
XYBA keys are slightly larger and more tactile, so they feel better.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="wm_IMG_20131203_122811" height="247" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_wm_IMG_20131203_122811_thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="wm_IMG_20131203_122811" width="329" /> <img alt="wm_IMG_20131203_122819" height="247" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_wm_IMG_20131203_122819_thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="wm_IMG_20131203_122819" width="329" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Overall the Hero feels a lot more grown up than last year's model, 
which is nice. My one complaint about the buttons is actually with the 
L2/R2 triggers: they feel more spongy than springy, which is an odd 
sensation. I don't really like the way they feel, but I'm still glad 
they're along for the ride since they were missing on last year's 
controller. Still, they feel weird and are just too mushy for my taste.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Hero Power is packing an 1800mAh battery under its undersized 
shell, which serves as both the controller's primary power source and a 
means of charging your phone while you play. This is a massive 
improvement over the Pocket, which unfortunately used AAA batteries to 
power the controller. That said, a shared 1800mAh battery isn't going to
 provide a lot of juice for most modern phones, which typically have 
internal batteries that are much larger than what's provided in the 
Hero. In other words, it'll give you <em>some</em> juice, but don't 
expect to get a full charge out of it. On the other hand, if you never 
use it to charge your phone, it should be enough to keep the controller 
going for quite a while, which is nice. It's also worth noting that the 
controller battery must be above 25% before it will charge an external 
device (this applies to both the Hero and the Pro). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="wm_IMG_20131203_122834" height="247" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_wm_IMG_20131203_122834_thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="wm_IMG_20131203_122834" width="329" /> <img alt="wm_IMG_20131203_122907" height="247" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_wm_IMG_20131203_122907_thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="wm_IMG_20131203_122907" width="329" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One thing I wish the internal battery did a better job of is adding 
weight to the controller. Don't get me wrong, the Hero's definitely 
heavier than the Pocket and it feels pretty solid, but once the phone is
 in the MOGA Arm, it's very noticeably top-heavy, which makes for a 
somewhat-awkward experience. I wouldn't call it a deal breaker by any 
means, but it's just another odd sort of sensation that you'll need to 
get acclimated to when using the Hero, especially for longer gaming 
sessions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like last year's model, the MOGA Arm has slightly tacky rubber pieces
 at the top and bottom that help hold the phone in place, and it works 
very well. The arm feels more robust than last year's model, and it's 
easier to insert and remove the phone, as well. Overall, it's 
improvements all around on the arm, which is nice. I never felt like my 
phone would fall out of the old model's arm, so the fact that this one 
is even better ensures even more confidence.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Pro Power</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="wm_IMG_20131203_122617" height="300" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_wm_IMG_20131203_122617_thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="wm_IMG_20131203_122617" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em>Left: MOGA Pro; Right: MOGA Pro Power</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now that we've talked about the portable little brother of the 
family, let's turn our attention to the big boy. The Pro Power is 
PowerA's "console experience" controller, and is much larger than the 
Hero. The button layout is essentially the same on both devices, though 
the joysticks, D Pad, and all the buttons are larger and more 
confortable on the Pro Power. Makes sense – why put tiny buttons on a 
big controller?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Speaking of buttons, unlike the Hero, the Pro's L2 and R2 triggers 
feel perfectly springy – the way triggers should feel. I'm not sure if 
the construction of the Hero limited the parts available for the L2/R2 
buttons, but there's a very tangible difference between the two, and I 
prefer the Pro's ten-to-one over the Hero's.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The primary difference in layout between the two is actually with the
 USB ports: both of the Pro's USB ports (full-size for charging devices,
 micro for charging the controller) are on the back, whereas the Hero's 
full-size USB port is on the back and the microUSB charging port is on 
the front. That doesn't really make a big difference in how the 
controllers are used, but it's a small detail worth pointing out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="wm_IMG_20131203_122634" height="247" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_wm_IMG_20131203_122634_thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="wm_IMG_20131203_122634" width="329" /> <img alt="wm_IMG_20131203_122643" height="247" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_wm_IMG_20131203_122643_thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="wm_IMG_20131203_122643" width="329" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Pro Power features a larger, 2200mAh battery, which will not only
 keep the controller charged longer, but also will provide a slightly 
larger bump should you elect to charge your phone while gaming. If not, 
then the Pro should theoretically outlast the Hero when it comes to play
 time, as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Between the larger battery and bigger overall form factor, the Pro 
does an excellent job of feeling balanced, especially with the phone 
mounted in the arm. It doesn't feel top-heavy that way, but it also 
doesn't feel unreasonably heavy when used with something like a tablet 
that can't fit in the arm. The weight definitely gives it a solid, more 
console-quality feel, which anyone who would be considering either of 
these controllers should appreciate.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Compared to last year's Pro, the Pro Power feels like an upgrade in 
nearly every way – it seems sturdier and more robust, the buttons are 
more comfortable, and it just feel like a more premium experience. 
That's hard to argue with.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Update: </strong>Someone in the comments asked if the Arm on 
the Pro is long enough to hold a Nexus 7. I actually meant to address 
this in the original review – the answer is unfortunately no. This is a 
pretty big oversight in my opinion, as the ability to strap a small 
tablet in would be killer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="wm_IMG_20131203_122717" height="247" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_wm_IMG_20131203_122717_thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="wm_IMG_20131203_122717" width="329" /> <img alt="wm_IMG_20131203_122938" height="247" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_wm_IMG_20131203_122938_thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="wm_IMG_20131203_122938" width="329" /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Games</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The gaming experience hasn't really changed a lot since last year – 
you sync the controller using the MOGA Pivot app, find MOGA-compatible 
games, and get your game on. The list of compatible games, however, is 
constantly growing – there are nearly 100 <em>more</em> compatible games
 from when I reviewed the original Pro last year. There were 76 at the 
time, now there are roughly 175. That's a lot of games. And with HID 
mode, you can use the controller with emulators and other games that may
 not necessarily have MOGA support out of the box, which dramatically 
increases the usefulness of this duo, no matter which one you choose.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Conclusion</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="wm_IMG_20131203_123045" height="501" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_wm_IMG_20131203_123045_thumb.jpg" style="display: inline;" title="wm_IMG_20131203_123045" width="668" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At $60 and $80 for the Hero and Pro respectively, you have to throw 
down a solid chunk of change just to improve your gaming experience. The
 question is, is it worth that to you? I'd say that depends. If you game
 on your phone a lot and are tired of touch controls (or never liked 
them in the first place), then these MOGAs will likely be worth their 
asking price to you. They're both solid, feel great, and definitely 
improve gaming on your mobile – there's no doubt about that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next dilemma is which one to choose – do you go with the smaller,
 lighter, more portable Hero, or the robust, console-size Pro? While the
 Hero isn't what I'd call "bad," if I were throwing my own money down on
 one of these, I'd go with the Pro. The overall size and feel, coupled 
with t</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With that said, if you only have a very limited amount of money to 
spend or you happen to catch the Hero on sale (at the time of writing 
it's going for just about $45 on <a class="external" href="http://www.amazon.com/?tag=androidpolice-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Amazon</a>), then by all means, buy it. While I prefer the Pro, I can't say it's worth nearly <em>double</em>
 the cost of the Hero. And the Hero is still a massive improvement over 
last year's model, so it's really a win-win. It's all about how much 
you're willing to spend.</div>

Hey, Sky? You do know that the same Google 
Play Store listing can be used for both smartphone and tablet versions 
of an app, right? No? You're still going with separate smartphone and 
tablet apps, like it's 2010? Okay then. The Sky Go tablet app has the 
same basic features of the smartphone app, but it's restricted to 7" or 
larger tablets running Android 4.0 or later. 
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="unnamed (10)" height="320" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_unnamed-10_thumb1.png" style="display: inline; margin: 0px;" title="unnamed (10)" width="199" /> <img alt="unnamed (14)" height="320" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_unnamed-14_thumb1.png" style="display: inline;" title="unnamed (14)" width="199" /> <img alt="unnamed (15)" height="320" src="http://cdn.androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/nexusae0_unnamed-15_thumb.png" style="display: inline;" title="unnamed (15)" width="199" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kidding aside, the feature set of the Sky Go app is pretty admirable,
 with live TV and streaming TV on demand. According to the app 
description there are "over 800 movies" and more TV shows than you can 
shake a sheleighly at across 11 movie channels, Sky Atlantic, Sky 1, Sky
 Living, Sky Arts, and Sky News, and various sports channels. Users can 
register two devices and there is no WiFi restriction. Subscribers to 
Sky Go Extra (£5 a month) get to use the app on up to four devices and 
get access to live TV on two at the same time, plus the ability to 
download movies or TV shows for offline viewing later. </div>

<a class="external" href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skygo" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The original Sky Go app</a>
 has pretty dismal reviews, seemingly stemming from serious 
compatibility and stability issues. Conversely, the tablet app is 
getting a pretty good response from initial users, currently sitting at 
4.6 stars. Naturally you'll need to be a subscriber to Sky's TV service 
to log in, but like most streaming cable apps, there's no extra charge 
for the basic app itself. The Sky Go app can't be downloaded outside of 
the UK and Ireland, and streaming video won't play outside those 
countries either, but you should be able to download movies or TV shows 
for international travel. </div>

December's Platform Distribution Numbers: KitKat Carves Out 1.1%, Gingerbread's Grip Continues To Slip

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's that time again - Google has updated 
the developer dashboard with new platform distribution numbers. 
Following a predictable trend, KitKat has eked out its own 1.1% niche, 
Jelly Bean (API version 16-18) is going strong at 54.5%, putting it 
further over the mark it reached last month, running on over half of all
 devices that have checked in to the Google Play Store in the past two 
weeks, while Gingerbread's grip continues to slip, decreasing to 24.1% 
from 26.3% last month.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Honeycomb meanwhile is sticking at a negligible 0.1%, while ICS has 
dropped 1.2% to 18.6% from last month. Froyo has made another tiny 
decline, now running on an unlucky 1.6% of devices, down from 1.7% last 
time around.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As always, the page also includes helpful charts measuring screen 
size and Open GL versions on devices included in the distribution chart.</div>

Bills Reminder Lite</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's roundup is presented by Bills Reminder from HandyApps. The 
intent and function of the app is simple: it reminds you to pay your 
bills on time, which is great if you like to use things like electricity
 and insurance. The interface is fantastic, with a fully customizable 
database, color-coded bills, and the ability to amend photos for bills 
or invoices. The lite app is the first widget below, and the full app 
below that is $3.99.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Keep getting those nasty late payment fees? Download this mobile bill
 organizer into your Android smartphone now and get daily reminders to 
pay your bills on time every time! No more easy money for the banks!<br />Simply
 key in your payment amount and due date and this bill tracker app will 
notify you in advance when your bill payment is coming due. With this 
handy mobile payment tracker with you at all times, now you don't have 
to worry about forgetting to pay your bills while you go about your busy
 schedule!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How Bills Reminder works:</div>
<ul style="text-align: center;">
<li>Enter your bill payment amount and the due date via an intuitive user interface.
</li>
<li>By default, Bills Reminder will start to remind you of the 
payment 5 days before the due date. The number of days in advance can be
 customized for each bill but the default is set to 5 days. (You can 
change the default setting as well)
</li>
<li>Bill Reminders will fire off reminder notifications every day 
at a preset time (default is 8:00am) until you have paid your bill. Your
 device LED will also flash a distinct orange color to indicate that a 
bill payment is coming due.
</li>
<li>Unlike other bill tracking apps, Bills Reminders will always 
fire off when the bill payment is coming due, no matter whether you have
 opened the app or not or whether you have rebooted your device.
</li>
<li>You can also setup recurring bill reminders. The repeating 
period is extremely flexible, you can set bill reminders to repeat every
 X days,weeks,months or year. (Eg. every 2 weeks, every 6 days, every 1 
month etc.)
</li>
<li>You can also capture or attach photos of bills, invoices, 
receipts alongside each bill reminder you created. This is helpful when 
it comes to actually making the payment. All the information is already 
stored in the app, so there is no need to go and find that paper bill 
statement.
</li>
<li>Paid Bills/Invoices/receipts can be kept for future reference </li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With all those late fees saved, this bill tracking app will pay for itself in no time!</div>

App Ops 4.3 / 4.4 KitKat</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
App Ops is back, and even if it's not better than ever, it's better 
by default for supporting Android 4.4. This app allows root users to 
deny permissions on an app-by-app basis, forcing those overreaching 
developers to play by your rules. The free app does that commendable 
service without asking for a penny, but the IAP upgrade adds batch 
actions, device-wide rules, and notifications.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
--</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the newest way to launch the native App Ops on your Android 
4.4 KitKat phone and tablet, or (for rooted users) of installing the 
extended version of App Ops. App Ops X Installer will install an 
eXtended version of AppOps on your Android 4.3 or 4.4 (KitKat) phone. 
It's the same App Ops you know, only recompiled and with new features 
slowly being added. This installer is required because the actual app 
(App Ops X) needs to be copied into your phone's /system/app folder and 
this kind of install is not natively supported by Google Play.</div>

FlightTrack 5</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
FlightTrack has always been a pretty reliable app for the constant 
traveler, and the developers keep updating and improving the new 
versions. Number five adds even more eye candy, real time notification 
alerts, visual flight paths, and a whole host of goodies for Android 
power users. Flight sharing via NFC, a widget and DashClock extension, 
and a super-sweet live wallpaper round it out. The new version is a 
reasonable $3.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
--</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Welcome to a brand new version of FlightTrack. Rebuilt from the 
ground up, FlightTrack’s new design and user experience are tailored to 
the needs of the savvy traveler. Now, all FlightTrack users get push 
notifications with flight updates and can view terminal maps to help 
navigate to the gate. With FlightTrack, you can search flights by number
 or route in a single search field, create trips with multiple flights 
and travelers, and view the progression of an entire trip within a 
single workflow.</div>

Xposed Additions</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Does your phone have buttons? Do you dislike the things that those buttons do? Do you wish that those buttons could do <em>other things instead? </em>Then
 you want the Xposed additions module (and also the Xposed Framework and
 root permissions, because you'll need them too). Additions lets you 
re-assign button actions and add long press actions, and even set up 
different behaviors for buttons depending on whether your screen is on 
or off. Neat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
--</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Xposed Additions is an XposedBridge Module that adds new features to 
your device. One of these features is the largest Key Re-map system for 
Android. Since this module uses XposedBridge, it is able to Re-map any 
key on your device and in any way you'd like. Do you want to disable 
your Power button while the display is off, or add Media controls like 
Play/Pause, Next, Previous etc. or have your Recent Apps Button act as a
 Menu Button, or turn on the screen with a different key other than

myMail</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another week, another alternative email app. This one features a 
modern interface, some impressive notification settings, and a lot of 
pre-configured mail services, but there isn't a whole lot in myMail to 
sway you away from Gmail if that's how you roll. According to the 
description it's specifically designed to stay fast under a heavy load 
of messages and contacts thanks to a unique compression system.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
--</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
myMail brings all your email accounts into one simple, bright, and 
friendly interface. Use myMail to manage messages in your Gmail, Yahoo.,
 AOL, iCloud, Hotmail and Outlook mailboxes. We created myMail to be 
fast, secure, and always there when you need it. Our app was developed 
for mobile devices from the ground up. With simple taps and swiping 
motions, you can read, reply to, forward, and do whatever else you need 
to with your emails. The app is available on and optimized for both the 
tablet and smartphone.</div>

Branches for Twitter</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Branches is an unconventional Twitter app, shunning the usual 
firehose feed in favor of "grouped tweets." That means that similar 
tweets from the same user get grouped together in a single branch... 
which kind of defeats the purpose of a service that limits messages to 
short bursts. Huh. At least the interface is Holo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
--</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Branches offers a unique Twitter reading experience. Tweets by the 
same author over a period of time are grouped in a single branch. Follow
 anyone on Twitter without fear of resulting in a noisy timeline.</div>
<ul style="text-align: center;">
<li>Groups tweets
</li>
<li>Twitter client with a simple interface
</li>
<li>Open tweets in the official Twitter app with a tap
</li>
<li>Tweet, Retweet, Share, Favorite, Reply </li>
</ul>

Kabbage</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you can't give me a brief outline of the benefits and drawbacks of
 an LLC, you probably don't care about Kabbage. If you can, you might 
care quite a lot, because it's a small-scale investment company that 
helps independent businesses get started or expand. It looks like you 
can't actually get approved for an investment or loan via the Kabbage 
app, but if you've already got one, you can manage your balance, advance
 requests, and transfers via the app. Hurrah for capitalism!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
--</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kabbage provides working capital to businesses to help them grow. 
Whereas traditional financial institutions take weeks to decide on an 
advance, Kabbage can deliver up to $50,000 of funding in just 7 minutes.
 Kabbage for Android acts as your mobile portal into the most important 
features of the Kabbage website. Qualified customers can...</div>

Xbox One SmartGlass</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Xbox One SmartGlass app came out before the Xbox One, because 
Microsoft is a coy minx. The app is pretty much the same as it ever was 
for the Xbox 360: you've got access to the Xbox's basic control and 
media capabilities, you can use the slightly better keyboard on your 
Android device to input text or searches, and you can engage in a little
 social networking and achievement hunting. Though Microsoft tends to 
push its Metro interface on Android apps, this should be familiar to any
 Xbox users likely to install it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
--</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Xbox One SmartGlass is the perfect companion app for your Xbox One, 
both in your living room and on the go. Stay connected with the games 
and gamers you like. Add a new dimension to your console entertainment 
with the mobile device you already own.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the living room:</div>
<ul style="text-align: center;">
<li>Navigate your Xbox One console using your device’s keyboard and touch
</li>
<li>Control your media and set top box with the SmartGlass remote control
</li>
<li>Browse the web on your TV using your mobile device
</li>
<li>Enhance what you are watching or playing with SmartGlass companions
</li>
<li>Increase performance with faster connections and reliability </li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the living room and on the go:</div>
<ul style="text-align: center;">
<li>Search, browse, and pin content to play on your Xbox One console
</li>
<li>Track achievements, get game help, message friends, and watch game DVR clips </li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Cox Contour</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cox is coming to the future with a cable streaming and scheduling 
app... and it's got all the usual restrictions, then some. You'll need 
to use your home WiFi to stream the app (which kind of defeats the point
 of a mobile streaming app), plus it's only supported on a couple of 
Nexus and Galaxy Tab devices. At least the interface looks good, <em>very </em>good
 in fact, with a lot of elements borrowed from the newer versions of 
Windows Media Center. It would be nice if you could use that shiny 
interface when you leave the house, wouldn't it?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
--</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With the Contour App from Cox, you can watch live TV and On Demand 
shows on your Android tablet anywhere in your house. It also offers 
access to mobile apps from popular TV networks to watch anywhere:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
• Choose from over 100 popular TV channels plus thousands of On Demand choices to watch anywhere in your house <br />• Access TV network apps and watch anywhere <br />• Includes personal show recommendations for up to 7 users <br />• Remotely schedule recordings on your DVR <br />• Share what you watch with your Facebook friends <br />• Easily view and sort TV listings for all channels <br />•
 Yours to enjoy for free as a bundle subscriber to Cox TV Essential, 
Advanced TV, or Contour TV service and Cox Preferred, Premier or 
Ultimate Internet service.</div>

Motorola's been moving basically all of its proprietary first-party

call it SMARTACTIONS™? Fine, have it your way.</div>

<strong>Android Police coverage</strong>: Motorola Assist And Motorola Connect For The Moto X And 2013 DROIDs Are Now In The Play Store</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...and here's Motorola Connect, Moto's legitimately cool desktop 
companion app for your calls, texts, and contacts. It will alert your 
desktop computer to a new call or text via Chrome, and you can text back
 without touching your phone, a la Google Voice. You'll need a latter 
model DROID or Moto X to join the party, and the Chrome extension is 
linked below.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Motorola Connect allows you to see text messages and calls coming 
into your Connect enabled phone on your computer’s Chrome browser. You 
can read and respond to texts using your keyboard and even know who’s 
calling before deciding if you should reach for your phone. Motorola 
Connect requires a Chrome Extension to be installed on your Chrome 
Browser. You can find the extension here: <a class="external" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/motorola-connect/</a>.</div>

GRID Beta</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unless you've got an NVIDIA SHIELD or a Tegra Note, a location in 
Northern California, and a burning desire to play PC games on the go, 
this probably won't affect you much. If you do have all of those things,
 prepare to be amazed, because NVIDIA's GRID streaming service
 is now available to SHIELD owners! This is basically a beta version of 
an Onlive-type streaming service, which the rest of us won't get to try 
out for some time. Yes, you HAVE to be physically close to Northern 
California to sign in to the service.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
--</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Try the NVIDIA GRID cloud gaming beta, available exclusively to 
SHIELD owners in Northern California. Instantly stream high-quality PC 
games to your SHIELD when you’re away from home! The GRID beta app is 
available with SHIELD Software Update 65, or for download from the 
Google Play Store. The app will run a network test when you launch it 
and may issue warning messages or prevent play if it finds any problems 
with your network connection to the GRID servers.</div>

Forget what you know about Live Wallpapers, watch as a Cinematic 
Dragon Battle unfolds right before your eyes. Witness Dragons of all 
types using their powers to attack a castle and its surroundings. In the
 Full version, Trebuchet's fire at nearby dragons, but the Dragons are 
relentless and growing in numbers, can they be stopped? Where and when 
the Dragons will perform various actions is unknown, even by us. Certain
 events may only happen at night, and other actions may only happen once
 every few days. But beware, you may be next.</div>
