[Update: New Recorder features] Pixel 4 theming, wallpaper, and voice recording apps leak online [APK Download]


One of Android's advantages over the competition has always been customization. From third party launchers to manufacturer skins and even complete freedom over the homescreen layout, no two Android devices are certain to look the same. Thanks to yet another Pixel 4 leak, we now know that Google is taking Android's customization prowess one step further with the help of several new apps.
The Pixel 4 has been leaked to the point that we know more about the handset than we don't know. And with hardware leaks come a barrage of new, unseen software begging to be shown off. That brings us to today's exciting apps from Google.
The theming app empowers users to dial in the look and feel of their Pixel phones for ultimate personalization. Some of the available options include system-wide font adjustments, new icon shapes, and color accents, such as blue, brown, green, purple, and more. Owners can also save multiple variations of their favorite theming options to switch things up on the fly.
   
If you have a device running Android 10 and you'd like to try out some of these features before the official theming app arrives, you can toggle through these options now. Simply enable Developer options, scroll down to the theming category, and choose your preferred system accent color, font styles, and icon shapes.
WARNING: The following apps were pulled from a Pixel 4, and may cause unwanted behavior with other devices. Sideload at your own risk.
You can download the Pixel launcher to your handset through APK Mirror, along with the Pixel Themes 10 app to unlock customization options on your device. Once installed, you can access the new theming engine by finding the "Styles" tab in the wallpaper picker. Please note that you will need to run the following ADB command before these themes can be written to your device:
adb shell pm grant com.google.android.apps.wallpaper android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
The Google Wallpaper app will also be receiving an update alongside the Pixel 4, which you can snag beta 10 now through APK Mirror. You'll also want to grab the Pixel Wallpapers 19 10 APK that features new customizable wallpapers and landscapes.
Aside from visual customizations, Google is introducing a native voice recording application aptly titled Recorder. Its functionality is pretty straightforward: hit the red button at the bottom of the screen to start a recording. Once the file has been saved, recordings can be replayed or shared with contacts, messaging apps, or Google Drive. Recorder isn't a Pixel 4 exclusive, so you can sideload the app now through APK Mirror.
 
Although these apps will debut alongside the Pixel 4 series, they will most likely be brought to the rest of the Pixel lineup through a future Android 10 update
Added APK Mirror links for Pixel Launcher 10 and Pixel Themes 10.
For those who thought the Recorder app from the massive Pixel 4 APK leak was a bit barebones, today's news offers a stroke of optimism. Despite technically being unreleased software, Recorder has already received an update that includes auto transcription to convert speech to written text and audio search that can locate files based on the words spoken within them. Even better, these features work on-device without the need for an internet connection.
The Recorder app update is rolling out via the Play Store now. We will update this article as soon as the APK is available via APK Mirror.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

As 2018 comes to a close, it’s time to look at some our favorite apps of the year. While not all of these are brand new, many of them popped up onto our radar for the first time in 2018, and are definitely worth the attention. 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.
