Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Android Customisation SECRETS!”.
This could just be my most requested, video on the entire channel. Welcome to my android customization secrets, things which you definitely should know about your Android smartphone, that nobody tells you so the first one is swipe actions, a really clever way to clear up space on your home screen by adding an action for swiping on each icon. As what, if one for actually pressing on them, you can make each icon double, has two different apps. An example of when this is useful is when you have two related applications.
So, for example, I have YouTube and then YouTube creator studio, which helps me manage my videos and so by assigning creator studio to open with a swipe of the YouTube app. That actually means. I don’t need to show the creator studio app anymore at all. It could just disappear entirely from my home screen, so the next thing I want to talk about was color coordination, and it has to be up there with one of the most severely underused tools. Your not only does color coordination make your icons look more pleasing to the eye, but also helps you recognize them faster. The brain identifies colors far faster than identifies individual icons themselves, and so by sorting your icons based on color. You give your brain a bit of guidance, a bit of a nudge to look in the right direction, so on the subject of colors is also very important to match the wallpaper using with the color of the icon pack. As you can see here, the individual elements of my homescreen actually are nice, but they just don’t work together and usually the first place to go for a wallpaper. If the icon fact that you’ve downloaded icon packs, often come with wallpapers, and these are normally made so that they just work with the icons using even a really high quality, well done, I compact, with a wallpaper that doesn’t match just, doesn’t help it bring to the Fore so go for the original wallpaper, it’s a good starting place or even make your own.
If you have to so the next one may be a little bit more self-explanatory, but I recommend giving it a go: try removing the labels on your icons so after you’ve used each one a few times. People tend not to actually read the text. It just ends up making a screen. Just look a little bit Messier now. You can also try this for the app drawer, but then what I would recommend you doing to prevent the application looking so spaced out is to increase the grid size, fit slightly more applications on the screen. That’Ll help it look a little bit more normal.
The only thing to bear in mind is that it may actually start taking a little bit longer to find your icons. It depends on the icon pack we’re using summer a little bit more distinctive others, but if it is happening, just revert back to having the labels. So the next one involves an application called Karuma keyboard which adjust the color of your keyboard to match almost exactly the application that you’re in, for example, if you’re typing in whatsapp. It has that same dark green hue that you so know and love. If you’re doing it in facebook, it’ll of a blue YouTube, it will have a red and so on and so forth, and it’s very seamless. It really does feel like a bit of a life hack. Now it is also based off Google’s own keyboard, so it should be pretty recognizable and easy to type on and the recommendation engine is all there and it works fine. So a pretty quick and simple way of reinvigorating your Android phone is to change your app opening and closing animations and the ones I’d particularly recommend using other circle.
Animations. It almost emphasizes Google’s material design and the color of the circle depends on the color of the application. You’Ve just opened, so it’s all very seamless, and then we have gestures – and I know these have been out and about for quite a long time now. But I don’t think many people actually use them to their fullest implemented correctly. You can be flying across your own screen far faster than you would otherwise be able to simple ones like being able to swipe up and swipe down to bring up the app drawer and then more complex ones like double swiping to scroll. From your first to your last screen, and vice versa, are all very important and they’re also pretty easy to configure just head into your launcher settings and as long as you’re using one of the sort of main more popular launches gestures will be an option there. So guys for this, video is using Nova Launcher I’ll drop the link for that, as well as some of the other icon packs and things I was using in the description below what that being said. I really appreciate you watching this video and if you could hit that subscribe button and turn on notifications, that would really really help me out. I would really appreciate it with that being said, and this to you, the boss and I’m signing out .
