In this video, I'll be showing you how to add VLC-style swipe gestures to the YouTube app for Android, which will then allow you to swipe your screen to adjust volume or brightness.
These gestures offer a pretty cool and intuitive experience, and all you need to do to try them out is install a simple app called "Touch Controls for YouTube." It doesn't require root, so anyone can try this out.

![Turn the Galaxy S10s Camera Cutout into a Notification LED [How-To]
How to Bring Back the Notification LED on Your S10
Full Tutorial: http://bit.ly/NotificationLED
Subscribe to Gadget Hacks: http://bit.ly/GadgetHacksSub
In this guide, Ill cover an app called Holey Light by Chainfire that turns the camera cutout on the Galaxy S10, S10+, and S10e into a notification LED.
Since Samsung went almost fully bezel-less, they had to drop the old notification light from past Galaxy phones. But the S10 has that unique camera punch hole thats practically begging to be put to use. Chainfire answered the call here and made an app that will highlight the cutout with a circular ring indicator when you have notifications — even with the screen off. You dont even need to be rooted!

![Save Battery by Automatically Turning Off Data When Using Wi-Fi on Android [How-To]
Auto-Disable Data on Wi-Fi to Save Lots of Battery [Root]
Full Tutorial: http://bit.ly/nocelldata
Subscribe to Gadget Hacks: http://goo.gl/XagVI
In this video, Ill be showing you a cool root app called RadioControl that automatically disables cellular data when you connect to a Wi-Fi network, then turns it back on when you leave.
Since the mobile data connection is one of the biggest sources of battery drain, disabling cellular connectivity when youre already connected to Wi-Fi can help quite a bit, especially if youre in a poor coverage area. However, SMS will not work on most carriers, and youll have to enable Wi-Fi calling to make and receive calls, so be aware of those stipulations.

![Get Android Nougats New Boot Animation Right Now [How-To]

Full Tutorial: http://bit.ly/bootnougat

In this video, Ill be showing you how to get the new boot animation from Android Nougat on your phone right now. Note that youll need to be rooted for this one, and it probably wont work on Samsung phones, or other devices with a non-traditional boot animation.
This new boot animation has a sleek and futuristic look to it, and it just debuted in the 4th developer preview build of Android 7.0. Youll only need a root-enabled file browser to try this out, and its a pretty simple process.

In this video, Ill be showing you how to set up an emulator and game launcher for Android that will allow you to play your own Steam copy of Counter-Strike on Android.
To get this one going, you will need to own a legit copy of Counter-Strike (1.6) for PC, and it needs to be the Steam version. Aside from that, the Android part of setup is actually pretty simple, and all you need on your phone or tablet is to have Unknown sources enabled, and a little help from your favorite file browser app.

![Hemingboard, the Keyboard That Makes You Smarter [How-To]
How to Install & Use the New Hemingboard Keyboard for iOS
Full Tutorial: http://bit.ly/Hboard
Subscribe to Gadget Hacks: http://goo.gl/XagVI
In this video, Ill be showing you how to set up a brand new iPhone keyboard that lets you find synonyms, rhyming words, and puns while you type.
Rather than repeating the same words over and over, try mixing things up a bit by finding a synonym. Or if youre feeling a bit goofy, you can find puns that play off of the words youve typed, and you can even get a list of rhyming words.
For details on the app giveaway, head to my full tutorial on Gadget Hacks, where youll find instructions towards the bottom of the article. If you missed the giveaway, Hemingboard is also available at a reduced price all day today, 4/19/2016, so you can take advantage of that, too.
NOTE (4/20/16): Giveaway is over, there are no more free codes, and Hemingboad has resumed at its normal price.
