No computer, no root, no shady apps — you can now remove any bloatware app with nothing other than your phone.
Since it relies on the new Wireless Debugging feature built into Android, this method works on most Android 9 or higher devices. Some OEMs disabled it on Android 9 and 10, but all OEMs have it in their Android 11 builds.

How to Get Android 7.0 Today [Non-Root Guide]
Full Tutorial: http://bit.ly/GetNougatNow
Subscribe to Gadget Hacks: http://goo.gl/XagVI
In this video, Ill be showing you how to update your Nexus device from Marshmallow to Android 7.0 Nougat using the OTA sideload method.
As it stands, youll likely have to wait up to 3 weeks for the Android Nougat to hit your Nexus device, because Google is releasing the update on a staged rollout. But the OTA ZIPs (the same exact update youre waiting on) have already been captured for most Nexus devices, so you can actually install Nougat right now.
Youll only need a Windows PC and a USB data cable to use this method, and you can have it done in less than 30 minutes. The actual work is pretty easy, too, so theres no reason to wait.
This wont work for rooted devices, because its the same as getting an OTA update, only faster, so youll have to use Nexus Root Toolkit like always. But if youre not rooted, this OTA sideload method is definitely the way to do it.

In this video, Ill be showing you a pair of options for getting the new, rumored navigation buttons from the upcoming release of Android Nougat.
The new buttons were first reported by Android Police, and theyre pretty confident that the new style will be included with Android N. Its basically the same buttons, just filled in with solid white, and with four Google-colored dots nested up against the home button.
These two themes can give you the new Android N on-screen navigation keys on a Marshmallow device, but a bit of setup beforehand is needed. One uses Layers/RRO, the other uses CyanogenMods Theme Engine. For guides on both of those topics, see the Requirements section at my full tutorial.

How to Add Custom Overscroll Gestures to Android Apps [Xposed]
Full Tutorial: http://bit.ly/scrollgest
Subscribe to Gadget Hacks: http://goo.gl/XagVI
In this video, Ill be showing you an Xposed module called Overscroll Actions that lets you add custom gestures to almost any app.
The module takes over for the default overscroll action that occurs when you scroll past the edge of the screen in any direction. This means that you can choose what happens when you overscroll in any direction, in almost any app. Actions like refresh, scroll to top, go back, lock screen, and many more are available. The only limitation is that the app has to have an overscroll action to begin with, so for the most part, this works in apps that have a Pull to refresh feature.

In this video, Ill be showing you how to use a cool little app called InstaPP that allows you to download any profile picture from Instagram.
Instagram makes it hard to download any image, and profile pics in particular are usually only available at a tiny resolution, if you can even get that far. This app solves this issue by making it incredibly easy to download a full-res copy of anyones profile pic–even if their profile is set to Private. Its a perfect source for updating your friends contact photos on your phone.

In this video, Ill be showing you how to make sure that your Marshmallow-powered device actually supports Androids new Doze Mode feature.
This battery-saving function was introduced with Android 6.0, but that doesnt mean that all phones and tablets running Marshmallow automatically have Doze. This is because there are some hardware and software requirements for Doze, which can rule out some older devices, as well as Chinese phones, and devices that are running custom ROMs.
This simple app lets you know if your Android 6.0 phone or tablet actually supports Doze, so you can stop all of the guesswork.
