Smart Launcher: Elegant, minimalist lightweight Display for Android

0 Comments

One of the most significant parts of an android, is the customization. And while I am tired of repeating this, but it is the truth .If something is similar in Android, is that no two are alike. And major influence of this customization is the launcher.

Today I bring a launcher that is characterized by its minimalist design, its low memory usage and to be very intuitive , using a simple interface at the same time very attractive . It is also characterized because we can launch any application with a tiny number of clicks. Furthermore, it is the only launcher that, as we install, cataloged our applications into different categories. Just as we install later.

The characteristics of the launcher are:

- A main desktop with a quick launch panel.
- An application drawer organized by categories.
- No need for advanced configuration. As we install, you are ready for use.
- Supports multiple displays and animated wallpapers
- Accepts packaged icons of LauncherPro and ADW Launcher.
- It supports Widgets (PRO version only)

The idea of this application is quite interesting. While we can modify icons to our liking but we need to search and install packages in Google play Store. The launcher allows us to add or remove panels of the screens. It seems to me a bit short in terms of customization of the applications, but the idea that imparts is novel and does what it promises. Launcher is a very light and simple. It has great potential for the type of user who does not want to complicate his life much customizing every corner of the display of android.

We can create folders to our liking, if we did not like the categorization carried out by the application. This makes it so simple and effective. With smooth transitions and smooth animations. In addition, we automatically add icons to the applications listed, so you will not have to go one by one saying which icon is for which application.

The developer is of Italian origin, has asked users be involved in the project so to improve it and bring it to fruition. If we decide to contribute, we can buy the PRO version , which includes the features mentioned above.

This launcher requires Android 2.1 onwards to run and has two versions: FREE and PRO . The PRO version costs € 1'79 and quite worth it if we want to contribute.

New Trojan Targets Android Users

0 Comments

A new piece of Android malware called NotCompatible is attempting to spread itself by attacking Android users who visit hacked websites. Android owners are advised to remain vigilant against these attacks.

The malware is notable because it marks the first time this kind of attack is known to have been used against Android devices in the wild. The way it works is simple. A hacked website hosts a malicious app, which is then transmitted to every Android handset that visits the site. It’s a tactic that’s been used against PCs for years but is now making the transition to mobile devices.

Fortunately, Android’s built-in security does a decent job of thwarting the attack. Because apps require permissions the usual permission screen will appear when the malware tries to install itself. Users who have not chosen to allow the installation of unofficial apps won’t be able to complete the installation even if they accept the app.

Still, there is some threat. When the malware appears it poses as a security update and declares a limited number of permissions. This may lure some users into thinking that it’s harmless or even a valid system update. False-flag attacks like this rely on mass distribution. Their creators know most people won’t fall for it – but some small number will.

The app is a trojan, but the payload and/or purpose is unknown. It connects to a command and control server but then does nothing. Of course, the server can send new instructions at any time, and likely will at some point in the future.
