    Android One  is the closest you’ll get to plain, pure Android from manufacturers other than Google, with brands like Motorola, LG, Nokia and HTC all creating phones based on the platform. Next to most custom interfaces, Android One looks clean and simple. That could lead you to think you can’t do much to alter how it looks and feels – but you can.  Sure, until you get ambitious you can’t play with that many parts of Android One, but these easy tweaks will let you put your own stamp on a One phone.  Where to find great wallpapers Your phone comes with a bunch of pre-installed wallpapers.

Bethesda is continuing its  apology tour  of sorts for  Fallout 76 's  rough state on launch, and this time you don't need to have spent a lot to receive compensation. The developer is  promising  a free copy of  Fallout Classics Collection  ( 1 ,  2  and  Tactics ) on PC for everyone who has logged into the full  Fallout 76  in 2018, whether they played on a computer or console.

As 2018 comes to a close, it’s time to look at some our favorite apps of the year.

Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention. As always, we’d encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments below, or on Facebook. Enlight Pixaloop (Free Pixaloop  is one of my favorite apps on the market. Unlike typical image editors that allow you to remove red eye or apply a filter, Pixaloop allows you to create stunning photo animations with a few c...
