Top android Mod/Tweak apps (no root)




1. Adding Soft buttons

Has your android device not got the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen? there are loads of devices out there including many android Tv boxes that do not include them in there firmware.. The Navigation bar has a few really essential features that your device should not be with out.


These features are A Back button, Force close and the Home button. If your device has not got them don't panic. with the app Back Button installed it and activated it will simply add these buttons to the bottom of your screen.


this app is available to download from Either of the H20 apps by simply clicking

2. Multiple ringtones

have you ever wanted a certain ringtone for that special somebody in your life? or for that irritating person you don't want to answer the call to? Or Just plainly fed up of hearing the same generic ringtones over and over again.. there are a couple of apps that can help with this problem.


Firstly Zedge, this app has been around a few years now and not only offers ringtones but a whole host of android based free stuff including wall papers, icons, games and more. What we are after is the ringtones though so click your favorite ring tone then simply click add to contact.Pick the person you want to add the ringtone to. Then do the same thing with a different ringtone and different contact.


if you want your ringtone to be random every time somebody rings there is an App called Random ringtone that does just that.. simply select the tracks from your device you want as random tomes then click ok. now every time somebody calls the app will select a track at random from the list and play it.


To download either of these apps simply head over to our H20 app and select


Customization apps------>Ringtones------>select Zedge or random ringtones------>Wait for install to complete.


3. Night mode

This feature is now available on some android devices as standard. It allows the user to adjust the brightness of there device to take away glare and soften the screen for your eyes. there are many apps with in play store that are designed for this exact purpose also. the one we like the most is Blue light filter this app is really simple to use and can be downloaded from either of the H20 apps by clicking

4. Using your android screen as a PC monitor/mouse/keyboard

Yes that's right you can use an app to control your PC or to even use as a second screen. There are many apps out there that can do these jobs. But my favorite has to be Splash top 2 remote desktop. this app allows you to access not only files held only our PC/laptop. But also actually control it as well.

Splash top 2 remote desktop is available in either of our H20 apps by clicking


Extras----->click Splash top logo ------>Wait for install to complete.


5. Controlling one android device with another

Apps like team viewer have been around for a few years this app allows you too control one android device with another. it works in a similar way to splash top 2 desktop but allows users to gain access to there android device even from another country using an internet connection. There are a good many other apps that can do a similar job to team viewer including Air droid, Remo droid. All these apps are available for download in either of the H20 apps by clicking


Extras------>Team viewer/Air Droid/Remo Droid------>Wait for install to complete.


6. Toggle Immersive Mode

Firstly what is Immersive mode? Well it is basically full screen. it hides the navigation bar and also the notification bar. this is really handy For watching movies or reading books allowing the user to make use of every pixel. The app i am picking for this from play store is Fulscrn Free. this app is a very simple yet effective app allowing you to toggle immersive mode from your notification drawer.


Fulscrn can be downloaded from either of the H20 apps by clicking


Customization apps------> Mods------>Click fulScrn logo------>Wait for install to complete


7.Lock your device remotely

if you have ever left or lost your phone the thought passes through your head..Did i lock the screen? You can lock the screen locate the device or even delete the entire phones hard drive. You can do this by firstly allowing a few settings within you android settings.

These are found in the security section of the setting screen. Then simply use the find my device app and you can control many features from another device. The find my device app can be downloaded from either of the H20 apps by clicking


Extras------>Find my device------>Wait for install to complete


8. Adding a Recycle bin to your android device

Have you ever deleted a file and then thought oh S*&t i actually needed that? well unfortunately with androids operating system the action is pretty permanent. But fortunately there is an app that instead of actually deleting the file it packs it up and put it in the apps database for 30 or so days. meaning you can simply go in to the app and click restore and your file will be returned to your device.. much like a recycle bin on your PC/laptop. The app we pick to do this job is Dumpster. You can download dumpster by clicking


Customization apps------>Mods------>Dumpster------>Wait for install to complete


9. Making a back up of an app

in the sharing community there are 1000's of apps floating around primary coming from a store such as play store or a website. The user can then if he chooses make a back up of the installed app. You can do this by installing an app called apk extractor. simply load the Apk extractor locate the app you wish to make a back up of an click it. Apk extractor will then do the rest. the copy of the apk can be found by using a file manager and clicking internal storage then extracted apks.

You can download Apk extractor from either of the H20 apps by clicking


Utilities------>Apk extractor------>wait for install to complete


10. Customizing the look of your android device

Launchers are a good way to totally change the look and feel of your android device, these apps are always changing and allowing you to do more and more wonderful things to change the look. organizing your installed apps better, styling your device, adding new features. Launchers can pack quite the punch. The H20 app already has loads of android launchers including my favorite Ui launcher. But i thought id id add a couple of new ones to these are called Hi-Tech launcher and Hex Launcher. You can install these apps by opening either H20 app and clicking


Customization apps------>Launchers------> Ui launcher.Hi-Tech launcher, Hex Launcher------>Wait for install to complete
