Yandex.Shell

Fri, 16 Nov 2012 19:26:27 +0000

Yandex.Shell is an intuitive interface that makes using Android devices a breeze. It only takes a second to customise the various screens, while the interface automatically sorts your apps and widgets. Simply use the 3D carousel to switch between screens.

You can place all your most frequently used widgets on the same screen to keep up-to-date with all the latest local news, weather and traffic. The built-in app search tool will help you easily find an app on your phone or online.

The Yandex.Shell address book also doubles as a business directory. For example, if you search for “restaurant” the app will show you the address and telephone number of restaurants in the area.

If you receive a missed call from an unknown number, Shell will automatically check the business directory for this number and show you the name in your call history if possible.

Yandex.Shell is available as a free download for users in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Turkey.

Please familiarize yourself with the terms and conditions of the License Agreement before installing the app:

ZEDGE™

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 13:03:45 +0000

For years ZEDGE™ has been the most trusted and popular source of free ringtones and wallpapers in the world. 50 million people get more than 300 million free downloads from Zedge every month. ZEDGE’s brand is synonymous with high quality, diversity, uniqueness and great fun.

CNET Editors’ rating: “Outstanding”
“Overall, we think Zedge is a winner. It has a huge database of high-quality wallpaper, ringtones, and notification sounds, it's updated frequently, and it's incredibly simple to navigate.”

In this app you’ll be able to seamlessly download free, high quality Ringtones, Notification Sounds, HD Wallpapers and Live Wallpapers optimized for your device. In addition, ZEDGE™ helps you find the best and noteworthy Games from Google Play.

ZEDGE™ recently added a Games channel where you’ll also find cool, relevant and excellent games that you haven’t seen before. ZEDGE™ makes sense of Google Play and suggests the games that are right for you.

FEATURES
• Set ringtones, notification sounds, wallpapers and live wallpapers directly from the app.
• Find new games recommended just for you.
• Supports default ringtone, contact ringtones, message tones, alarms, alerts and all types notifications.
• Manage and organize downloaded items in your Downloads tab.
• Setting for automatically changing wallpapers (auto change).
• Widget for switching wallpapers.
• A Game Launcher Widget that automatically collects your games into one customizable widget. No more need to look through all your apps to find a game.

Millions of people have put their trust into ZEDGE™ and we want to keep it that way. Here's the background on why we ask for certain permissions:

YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
READ CONTACT DATA and WRITE CONTACT DATA
We need these permissions in order to set contact ringtones in the app. Without this it's impossible to offer the "set as contact ringtone" feature which many of you appreciate. We DO NOT read, transfer, store or use any of your personal information or contact data. This permission has always been required - we did not add it recently.

FAQ:
Q: I’m not able to find popular music ringtones or mp3 music on Zedge. Why?
A: Zedge respects that commercial artists normally want money for their music and that they don’t want to give it away for free. We respect that. Zedge is not about music BUT about huge amounts of unique and rare stuff made and shared by people and independent artists from all parts of the world.

RINGTONE CATEGORIES
Alternative, Blues, Bollywood, Children, Christian & Gospel, Classical, Comedy, Country, Dance, Electronica, Entertainment, Games, Hip Hop, Holiday, Jazz, Latin, Message, Tones, News & Politics, Other, Pets & Animals, Pop, R&B / Soul, Reggae, Rock, Sayings, Sound Effects, World
