When Apple launched the iPhone 7 Plus, one of the biggest features was the dual-camera system’s Portrait Mode. The mode gives images a DSLR-like background blur, albeit with some hiccups occassionally. Sometimes the effect looks unnatural or just blurs key areas of the photo. On iOS 11, photographers will now be able to disable the depth effect even after the photo has already been taken without managing the setting. Let’s take a look how. The beneficial change is evident with Portrait Mode photos on iOS 11. No longer do photographers have to choose between keeping the normal photo and Portrait Mode, or just the Portrait Mode photo. On iOS 11, a photo taken in Portrait Mode can easily have its depth effect removed after the photo has been taken. To get started, simply launch the Camera app on your iPhone 7 Plus. Slide on over to Portrait Mode, and take the photo once you see “Depth Effect” appear at the top of your screen. From here, select the image’s th...

Meizu’s Flyme UX skin is known for its unique take on Android. The skin can draw comparisons with Xiaomi’s MIUI and Huawei’s EMUI, but it still has its own distinct features and its own characteristics. You can now experience Meizu’s Flyme ROM on your OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T , thanks to XDA Member  XiaoshaXs . This Flyme ROM for the OnePlus 3/3T is based on HydrogenOS 2.5 (Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow) as its base, so it supports all custom kernels that work with that version of HydrogenOS. Installation instructions are mentioned in the ROM thread, but as an important note, OnePlus 3 users need to flash an extra zip file to make the ROM compatible with their device as the ROM supports OnePlus 3T. You can check out Flyme 6 in XDA's OnePlus 3/3T Development Forum here

Google Now is a powerful tool, but it only  really proves its worth when it can be easily accessed. Now that Google Assistant has taken the place of Now on a long-press of the home button, having Now integrated into the launcher is your best bet. Google’s official launchers used to be the only ways to do that, but starting today one of the biggest third-party launchers is changing that… In its latest beta update (via Android Police ), Nova Launcher is adding true integration with Google Now, no gesture workarounds needed . Simply swipe to the left on your homescreen and you’ll be greeted with your Google Now cards like you wanted always. To get Google Now on Nova Launcher, you’ll need to be on the latest beta version of the app, v5.3-beta1 which you can download from the Play Store  (once enrolled in the beta). From there, you’ll need to download the “Nova Google Companion” add-on APK from APKMirror . Once that is installed, Nova Launcher will detect it and use...

Love it or hate it, Google Assistant is a smart assistant services that is only going to get more and more popular day by day as new features are always added. Sadly, the Google Assistant on Android smartphones is available on those devices running Android Marshmallow (6.0.1) and above. But thanks to a recent method published by XDA Member Nikhilkumar038, it’s possible to get Google Assistant up and running unofficially on any Android Lollipop and above device – including tablets .  Expanding on this work, XDA Senior Member  Jovic77  created the Google Assistant Launcher (GAL) which helps you launch the hidden activity needed to start up Google Assistant on your Android 5.0+ devices. The latest update to the application includes the feature that allows you to launch Google Assistant by long-pressing on the home button !

The Samsung Galaxy S8 represented a departure from previous iterations in that it uses software-based navigation buttons versus the capacitive keys/physical home button similar to that of stock Nexus and Pixel devices. This change led to the creation of a modification that can make the Galaxy S8’s navigation icons look like the stock Google Pixel's. To make the change, download any of the .apk files listed in the XDA Developers thread here . Since these are files not found through the Play Store, you will also need to allow installation from unknown sources within the Settings menu. After that is done, install the files and reboot your Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8 Plus. Once you power up your phone, you should see different navigation keys. There are a few things to keep in mind, the biggest being that any of the .apk files only acts as an overlay – it does not completely replace the default navigation buttons. Also, if you use the always-o...
