The best applications to personalize your Android phone

Android gives less and less room for customization, that's true. However, it's still a much more open platform than its main competitors We can still pretty much do whatever we want within reason. There are a variety of apps that change our experience and we can change email apps or the launcher for different experiences. But this is the easy part, then there are a variety of other entertaining ways to customize our Android terminal.Here are some of the best apps to do it.

GBoard and SwiftKey

Gboard and SwiftKey are arguably the two best keyboard apps on Android. Both have extensive descriptions, powerful features, gesture typing, and a host of other options The experience is a bit different between the two: Gboard is a bit simpler and with more main features, while SwiftKey is a bit closer to the user. In any case, with both we can make the keyboard look as we want. This is a good place to start if customization is your goal. Both applications are completely free and without . SwiftKey used to charge for themes, but not anymore.

IFTTT

IFTTT is an exceptionally powerful application, capable of automating a wide variety of tasks. Works almost seamlessly between 600 different apps, including Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa You can make it do a variety of tasks and there are loads of IFTTT recipes on the Web. This application customizes the things that our phone does. With all the supported apps and thousands of recipes, IFTTT does it probably better than any other app aside from maybe Tasker. It's also completely free, with no in-app purchases or ads.

Navbar Apps

Navbar Apps is a very nice little personalization application. Change the color, theme and style of the navigation bar - the soft keys at the bottom of the phone.The app comes with a variety of prank themes like Garfield, watermelons, and other similar things. Also change the colors of the navigation bar for any application that we have open

Autoentring has been found not to work with Google Chrome and the app itself does not work well with Huawei devices. Although the latest version we have not seen that it gives any problem. We can use most of the features for free. A single €2 in-app purchase unlocks all content. Paphonb custom navigation bar in play store is also very good to customize navigation bar

Navigation Gestures

Android Pie introduced a new gesture navigation system. But this app made it possible before that. QWe can omit the navigation bar entirely in favor of a series of flicks and swipesEach action is customizable with a series of gestures. We can also swipe in various directions from various sides and it allows us to use them instead of the home screen, back and recent app buttons. The premium version adds support for notifications, quick settings, media controls, screenshots, and more. Gestures are probably the future. We can get it now for free or for 2 euros for the premium version.

Sharedr

Sharedr is one of the most unique personalization apps for Android. This one deals with the notice that pops up every time we share something. These days, Message displays a list of apps along with a random list of your favorite contacts Sharedr tidies up that chaos and you can customize notifications to only show the apps we really want and remove random contacts altogether if we want to.It takes a bit of work to set it up, true, but this app makes sharing stuff a lot easier once you spend the time customizing it to your liking. It's also completely free, with no in-app purchases or purchases.

Substratum and Pluvius

Substratum and Pluvius are theme frameworks for Android devices. They use Android's OMS (Overlay Manager System) for our phone's interface themes. Both are fairly complex pieces of software. Substratum works without root on some devices, however we get the best experience with both on Android Oreo with root There are a variety of themes on the Google Play Store that work with these frames. Prices vary, but none is very expensive. Both are great personalization apps, but if the going gets tough, we'd recommend Substratum first. It is the older product and a bit more stable.

Zedge

Zedge is another of the most fashionable personalization applications lately. It has wallpapers and the selection is pretty decent. However, Zedge's big draw is its ringtones, notification tones, and alarm tones We can find a sample of great sound effects, songs, and other content for that kind of thing. Also, it allows us to upload our own Zedge website if we have something we specifically want and want to share as well. This is one of the few really good apps for ringtones and notification tones that doesn't require us to do it ourselves. It does not contain and is totally free.

Tapet

There are a lot of good wallpaper applications, there are Walli, Backdrops, Wallpapers HD or Muzei.However, Tapet is probably the best of this exclusive group. The application contains a variety of interesting patterns. Each pattern is completely customizable and we can choose the colors and reload the pattern for a slightly different variant

All the wallpapers are huge and should work even on the highest resolution screens. Tapet works very well for personalization, since each wallpaper is configurable, which is very useful. The pro version is relatively cheap, but the optional integrated purchases go up to 20 euros, very excessive when it comes to wallpapers. Not to worry though, the free version already offers a great deal.
