How To: Get the Nextbit Robin's Launcher on Any Android
We recently covered a set of ported apps from the new cloud-based smartphone, the Nextbit Robin. These ported APKs brought two of the Robin's slick new stock apps—Camera and Gallery—to any other device, but the launcher was conspicuously absent.Don't Miss: Get the Nextbit Robin's Camera & Gallery Apps on Any Android DeviceBut developer Sergio Castell stepped in and ported the Robin's launcher to work on all Android devices, so now we have the full set. It's a distinctive and fast home screen app that sports a unique widget system, and it's super easy to install, so I'll show you how it works below.
RequirementsAndroid 5.0 or higher "Unknown sources" enabled
Step 1: Download & Install the APKTo start, grab the APK installer file, then tap the "Download complete" notification. From here, press "Install," then when that's finished, tap your device's home button. This will prompt you to select a new home screen app, so choose the Nextbit Launcher from the list, then press "Always."Download the Nextbit Robin Launcher (.apk) Note: Future versions and updates to this app can be found at the developer's thread on XDA.
Step 2: Try Out Your New LauncherOnce you've installed your new home screen, you'll quickly realize that it's quite a bit different than other launchers. For starters, there is no app drawer in the traditional sense, and instead, your apps are all visible on the home screen like they are on an iPhone. Folders have an interesting look, too, as their contents are overlaid on a blurred, semi-transparent white background. As you continue to poke around, you'll quickly notice a floating action button that resides on the right edge of every screen. This was initially designed for quick access to the Robin's cloud features (which don't work on other devices for obvious reasons), but at the very least, the "All apps" option it offers should serve as a nice app drawer alternative. Finally, one of the coolest aspects of this launcher is its quick access widget view. To try this out, pinch inward with two fingers on any home screen. When the screen turns frosty white, long-press any empty space, then select a widget from the list, and drop it on your home screen. If prompted, select "Always allow" and press "Create" to add the widget. From now on, you can view this widget page at any time by performing the same pinch-to-zoom gesture.

The battery icon in the top right corner of your iPhone lets you know how much power your phone has left, but it doesn't offer much detail. From a quick glance at the tiny icon, it's hard to say whether you have 40 percent of your battery left or 25 percent, and that's can be a difference that results in hours of more use.

Before many games make it to the US-based iOS App Store, they get "soft launched" in a smaller country to get real-world testing for bugs. It's a pilot program, so to speak, as countries like Vietnam or the Philippines have far fewer iPhone users than the US, thus offer a more controlled environment for developers to get feedback and zero-in on issues that may occur in a game's early
