While Facebook mobile apps are terrible, they deserve due credit for bringing Chat Heads to mobile apps. Chat Heads is a floating window that will allow you to directly notify and reply you of any new messages from your friend on Facebook. Soon after Chat Heads was introduced, the idea was copied by many other apps and even an Android ROM – Paranoid Android.

CallHeads from developer maboe brings Chat Heads like incoming notifications for all your incoming calls, replacing that full screen intrusive notification.

Last week, the HTC One Google Play edition variant received the Android 4.3 update directly from Google and HTC. Considering there are no hardware differences between the Sense and the Google Play variant of the One, you can easily use the Google Play edition ROM on the Sense running One without any issues.

The only requirements to use the Google Play edition ROM on your One is that you should have unlocked the bootloader with a custom recovery installed on your One.

A couple of months ago, Yahoo announced a major revamp for its photo sharing service – Flickr – and offered literally unlimited (1TB) of storage space for even free accounts. While there are certain to uploading, 1TB of space even for free accounts, is an excellent deal.

Sadly, while the Flickr app for Android looks beautiful, it lacks the basic feature of uploading all your camera images automatically to Flickr. With mobile phones replacing cameras, it makes little sense not to have such a feature. Thankfully, Flickr Uploader on the Play Store is here to solve all your Flickr upload woes on Android devices.

Remote was among the first apps that was released on the App Store by Apple.  The app allows iPhone and iPad users to control media playback on iTunes on their Mac or Windows based PC without any hackery or complex procedures. While many Android apps on the Play Store offer similar functionality, they need an application to be installed on your PC.

In comes Retune from SquallyDoc studios that works just like Remote from Apple for Android devices, and is free as well.
