Applications
DontKillMyApp
Android Police coverage: DontKillMyApp is a new benchmark for the aggressiveness with which your phone kills apps in the background
DontKillMyApp is an early access version designed to help Android users discover how their devices handle background processing. As we all know, no two phones are the same, and since manufacturers and developers can’t seem to find the best method for background processing, many devices will kill their apps before they’re done with them. So if you have been wondering how you can check if your device is too aggressive DontKillMyApp is here to help you.

Game lines
Android Police coverage: ARCore’s new depth API is out of beta, bringing the next generation of hide-and-seek to phones
Why launch an app to show a new augmented reality API when you can launch two? Lines of Play is another launch from Google’s Creative Lab, and since the company has just released a new augmented reality API that supports all sorts of cool features like occlusion and collision, Lines of Play is here to show exactly what it is can do with the new tools. This means you can virtually stack and knock down domino lines through AR in this app, which is actually quite good.

Percuss – Rhythm Sequencer is clearly a rhythm sequencer. This means that you can create your own drum sequences in this app by selecting your presets and tapping them in position on the screen. You can adjust the BPM at any time, and there is built-in support for note subdivisions and polyrhythms. Heck, you can even save up to 20 beats on each project, which should be more than enough to produce a few bumps.

Dark mode
Apparently, some OnePlus devices lack a fundamental feature of Android 10+. This feature is called Dark Mode, and since it’s missing on more than a few devices, an entrepreneurial developer has created an app to rectify the situation.
