Beauty and Simplicity Only on Android

Everyone can do what you can do with your phone most probably but the question is *how* do they do it?

How much time it takes one to do a task on the phone. What I'm about to reveal to you is the simplest and most productive way I've ever used my android phone.

It is simple because there is minimum clutter of icons on the home screen and because the technique uses minimum resources, and finally because the home screen wallpaper looks stunning.

And it is productive because the new way of doing things is very fast and least time consuming.

What finally appears on your screen  is just the wallpaper. Where are the apps and how can I use the phone like that?

OK if you one tap on the wallpaper home screen,  the Phone app will open. If you double tap the apps drawer will open. If you long press the camera will open and if you swipe up Google search will open swipe left Whatsapp will open and swipe right Google Chrome will open, and swipe down Flipboard will open.

So what are the requirements to do that?

1. Download the StoicHome launcher from Google Play store (the most minimal launcher ever).

2. Download AppSwap app from the Google Play store.

3. When download completes click on the Home button to make StoicHome launcher Always default.

3. Then click on settings button to choose Preferences.

4. Assign the one tap to the Phone app and the two taps to AppSwap.

AppSwap is a great app drawer that organizes your apps according to usage as well as you can easily search an app through a number Dial (T9 way).

I can finally enjoy the wallpapers I use on the phone while at the same time don't lose functionality. I only lose widget usage but it's very easy to know the weather by just saying "weather" on the Google search application.

Level Meter: Worked Accurately

I previously recommended Xclineometer, but the results of this app were more accurate for me without any need for calibration. It works perfectly on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2.

Flash Light Widget: Fastest Light Utility

This app is just a widget you put on your home screen. Tap it, and you have your flash light on. What else do you need? This app is ultra lightweight, and it just works as expected, no need to bloat your phone with feature loaded light apps.

YouUpload: A fast image uploading app

Did you ever had a screenshot on your phone that you wanted to post/include on a forum and couldn't? All you have to do is to upload the image with this app to YouUpload.com, and it will provide you with the short link to it. Copy and paste it where you wish!

TrustGo: Good Security

TrustGo is an antivirus and an Android security app that is just what I decided to use after trying a lot.

Why?
1. Very good detection rates.
2. But still more lightweight than well known antiviruses like Avast.
3. Has a simple theft protection system through online free registration.
