Hitman Go is only 99p on the Amazon app store at the moment.

And the Play Store. It's really good, nice design too.

Probably posted already but don't care. Knight of The Old Republic is out - fap fap! I pray it plays well on a phone as I have been dying to play for some time.

Plays well on my S4 - I think I would have preferred if they had gone with two thumbs for movement though (currently forward/back is swipe up/down and looking is swipe left/right)

Works great with a bluetooth controller though and I'm just glad it (finally?) made to Android

2.4GB download

For WhatsApp users who wants a bit of Material Design: https://plus.google.com/communities/114374561067639733600

Looks great, and they plan to add even more Material elements. Tried WhatsApp+ as well but the theme engine was a bit buggy for my liking and settled on this.

How do you install it? I have tried this and WhatsApp+ both just fail when installing, do I need to uninstall WhatsApp first?

I am running Lollipop 5.0.1 GPE on my Moto G first gen, rooted.

Backup the conversations on your current Whatsapp, uninstall and install the new version. You can only have one instance of the same app.

Just a heads up, Google is giving away the Sherlock Holmes movie in the PS app, so far I've got that and Gravity totally free from Google

So the Dolphin browser update introduced text input lag that makes it almost unuseable, and Chrome remains unable to scale text properly, so who can suggest a good browser?

pugwash · 26 Dec 2014 at 21:12

cm browser

twist3d0n3 · 26 Dec 2014 at 21:33

holy cow, cm browser is amazing :eek:

Doesn't automatically resize websites to best fit the screen like Dolphin though
