\"\"Unlike iOS, Android devices can be very easily customized without the need to jailbreak or root them. This means that there is an ever-growing market in third-party launchers that enable phone and tablet users to try out a variety of new ways to access the apps they have installed on their device. While cosmetically different and packed out with a range of extra features, most launcher are generally fairly similar, but this same cannot be said of Everything.me<\/a>\u00a0which adapts itself according to what you are doing and where you are.<\/p>\n

The idea is simple. Launching apps and accessing information is now seen as being the same thing. Looking for a recipe you have stored in an app you use? Type \u2018recipe\u2019 and a list of corresponding apps will show up. In addition to this, you\u2019ll also be shown a list of related websites so you can check out other recipes online. Breaking down, or at least blurring, the barriers between local apps and online services is an interesting approach.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also scope for tailoring search results to your current location. Look for restaurants and you\u2019ll be able to find out what is nearby. As well as ensuring that you have easy access to the information you\u2019re looking for, Everything.me also changes the appearance of your phone according to what you\u2019re doing. Perform a search for \u2018football\u2019 and your background will change to the NFL logo.<\/p>\n

A launcher that dynamically adapts to what you\u2019re doing can take a little getting used to; it feel strangely unintuitive to start with, but it doesn\u2019t take long to become second nature. It\u2019s really just a matter of retraining that memory muscle.<\/p>\n

But there is another option available in the form of smart folders, and these act as a sort of hallway house between dynamic homescreens and a more traditional folder-based launcher. Select a category — such as a shopping — and any apps that you have that fall into this category will be automatically added to the folder along with a list of associated online resources. Create a \u2018social\u2019 folder and you\u2019ll find that Fourquare, Twitter, Facebook etc are all automatically grouped together for you.<\/p>\n

Everything.me<\/a>\u00a0is currently in beta but can still be downloaded from Google Play.<\/p>\n
