Wake up his highness in The Sleeping Prince: Royal Ed.

Once upon a time, in a land far away, there was a princess who fell under a sleeping curse. Only a "strong, heroic prince" should be able to wake her up and save the entire kingdom (well, this isn't really a very progressive game isn't it?) from the spell. The problem? The Prince is also under the sleeping spell, so it's up to you to literally drag him to rescue the kingdom.

The Sleeping Prince: Royal Ed. is an adventure puzzle game that sees you try to bring the Sleeping Prince Perilous to Princess Leona to try to break the sleeping spell cast upon the kingdom by the evil Sydney Slime. You need to throw, flick and toss him throughout the castle and the kingdom, with the help of some magic from the Wizard Plushkin, the only one who was unaffected by the spell.

There are over 40 levels in this game, and it gets increasingly challenging as you go along. You need to be careful with how you fling him around as you should not run out of the magic you are given. As you go through each level in this physics-based puzzle game, you'll get to collect gems, stars and Z coins so you can earn medals and unlock more levels.

The game will soon switch to premium, but for a limited time, it will be completely free, even the in-app purchases. So if you want to experience helping a ragdoll Prince have a happily ever after (oh, and wake up a whole kingdom in the process) with his princess, download The Sleeping Prince: Royal Ed. from the Google Play Store.

Install CyanogenMod apps even on non-CM ROMs

If you’ve used CM10 or CM11 before, there’s a big chance that you may have a soft spot for the apps that can only be found (and used) within the CyanogenMod environment. People who have gotten used to using these apps have no choice to download them individually and install them onto their devices – until now, of course. The CM App Installer brings all these apps under one downloader and allows you to get them, even for your non-CM operating system.

An early warning at this point – since the apps were designed for the CM ROM, there is a slight chance they might not work correctly on your device using a non-CM ROM, but would you rather not try? We thought so.

At this point, the apps that you are able to install include Apollo, Calculator, CM File Manager, Torch, Messaging, DSP Manager, Gallery, Voice+, News and Weather Widget, Trebuchet Launcher, cLock Widget, Movie Studio, and CM Wallpapers. The CM App Installer also saves you the hassle of having to backup your installed CM apps, as the tool does this automatically.

This tool was designed by XDA member “TheMentalGoose”, and if you are interested in this, go ahead and check out the official thread here.

ADB Tools allows your device to connect with ADB over wifi

This is a constant issue for those who like to tweak their Android devices just so – the one where you need to connect your device to ADB (Android Debug Bridge) and you have to look for a spare USB cable to be able to do that. Well, not anymore, we guess. The good guys at the XDA forums just keep making our lives easier, this time with ADB Tools – an app that allows your device to connect to ADB over wifi.

First, though – what is ADB and why would you need it? Android Debug Bridge is an agile little command line tool that most tweakers use to do multiple things, but mainly to push tweaked firmware images and apps to their devices from laptop or a desktop computer. As such, the standard operating procedure for pushing modified firmware elements to your device will always include using ADB, and so the constant need for a USB cord.

But XDA member “idragon81” has come app with this nifty little solution that allows connection to ADB over both USB and WiFi, with the standout feature being the wireless connection, of course. This is done simply by typing in “adb connect” followed by the IP address generated by the app into the CMD (command line) on your Windows PC. The developer is planning to integrate more features to the tool soon, including starting a service from wireless and the like.

If this is something that interests you, check out the official XDA thread here. To be fair, this isn’t an original idea – we’ve covered something like this before. But the idea is the same, which is to make the lives of those who like to tweak their phones easier.

Be an App Dev Master with this Elite Android Hacker Bundle [DEALS]

No, this isn't the type of hacker that breaks cyber laws and gets into all kinds of mischief. Originally referring to "hacking at" a problem, you too can also become an elite hacker, or programmer if you will. All you need are the right tools. Some say that knowledge is one of the most important tools, that is why we're bringing you not just one, not even just two, but a whole bundle of seven programming courses to get your brain in tip top shape for Android programming.

Unlike the Android App Programming course we offered last week, this one covers a whole gamut of topics, some with more in-depth treatment than a cursory overview. For instance, there are courses here that will take you through the fundamentals of Java, the programming language used to write Android apps and even major parts of Android itself. Of course, you also get a number of courses that deal with Android app development directly, in beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. And yes, there is even a course on actual Android hacking for the sake of penetration testing and security analysis.

These courses are offered on Udemy, one of the more popular sources for online courses. Once purchased, the courses are yours forever and you can view them and download them any time you wish. And if by chance you happen to not like them at all, a 30-day money back guarantee is offered for your ease of mind.

Originally price at $503, this Android Community Deal shaves a whopping 92 percent off the price, leaving you with only $39. Better hurry though, as the clock is ticking on this Elite Android Hacker Bundle deal.

Raccoon is a desktop downloader for Google Play Store apps

There are quite a few ways to run an Android app. We run it normally via our Android devices, but we can also sideload apps via a number of environments friendly to Android apps, such as the Chrome environment or a Bluestacks Android emulator. But the only way to download an app is through the Google Play Store, which is of course installed on an Android device. Not anymore – the Raccoon Google Play Desktop Client will allow you to do just that.

If you want to browse the Google Play Store from a non-Android device – say for example, your desktop PC which has Windows OS – you can use the Raccoon Google Play desktop client to download the APK installers from the store. This is very handy if you want to keep copies of the installers on your hard drive.

The Raccoon app communicates to the Google Play server saying it’s an Android 5.0 device, so you get the latest versions of the apps you’re looking for. Of course, you have to provide your Google username and password – which you understandably might not want to do. Easy enough, you can create a Google account just for Raccoon.

Check out the official XDA thread of the Raccoon app here, and search out the download link. You can also check out the source code for the app via Github, so that you know it’s not doing anything fishy with your account.
