Moto-E-XT1025

If you thought Motorola revolutionised the low-end smartphone market with the Moto G, wait until you get your hands on the Moto E. The company has managed to hit another home run with the Moto E, which is already selling like hot cakes in India and Brazil.

For its price, the Moto E offers much more than what you can expect, and even beats the Galaxy S5 in terms of UI performance. Like any other recent Motorola phone, rooting the Moto E is pretty easy, provided you are ready to unlock the bootloader and void its warranty in the process.

KitKat 10

Custom launchers are immensely popular amongst the rapidly-growing Android community. They enable us to completely customize and personalize our smartphones and tablets. Previously, switching between them had always been a bit of a long and tedious task.

One of the alterations Google has now introduced in its most recent KitKat update is the ability for users to change their default launcher much more easily due to the newly-implemented menu, which is housed in the default settings application of every Android device.

Galaxy-S5-unable-to-download-update

Samsung pushed out a new software update for the European Galaxy S5 this morning — it the flagship’s first and it comes just over a month after it went on sale for the first time. But lots of users are unable to download it because “the server has reached its daily download limit.”

Thankfully, it’s easy to sidestep this error and get your hands on the South Korean company’s latest software. Here’s what you need to do.

One-M8-back

The new HTC One (M8) went on sale immediately after its announcement in the United States. Initial reports suggest that the handset is selling very well and it is looks like HTC might have finally hit the jackpot. Just like its predecessor, rooting the new HTC One (M8) is a pretty straightforward process if you know your way around ADB and Fastboot.

Before you start with the rooting guide below, keep in mind that the steps below will work with all the variants of the One (M8) that come with an unlockable bootloader. This means that owners of certain carrier branded US variants (hint: Verizon) of One are out of luck and need to look for other ways of gaining root access on their handset. 

Samsung Milk Music

The advantage of Samsung’s kitchen sink approach is that every once a while it manages to come out with a terrific product or service. Samsung’s Milk Music radio service is the perfect example of this and provides users access to over 13 million songs and 200 stations for free without any kind of advertisements, at least for the time being.

Sadly, the Milk Music app is only available to Samsung’s Galaxy devices owners in the United States.
