[APK] Nokia X Launcher, Store, Music and Email Ported!

Some of the apps from Nokia X like browser have been ported almost immediately after the phone has been released, now the list has been expanded by next three apps: Nokia X Store, Nokia Music and Nokia Email!

I would personally suggest and recommend these apps to low-end smartphones, as they don't really contain any fancy design or advanced animation. Although, if you're curious about the interface, you can get them, too!


Nokia X Store











 Nokia X Store offers some basic apps and games like Twitter, Skype, BBM Messenger and a few game. As you can see, app has a really basic UI. Nothing special.

Nokia Music




















 Nokia Music does really look like the Stock Music Player in Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Again, nothing special. Just pure simplicity.

Nokia Email



 

And again, nothing special here. These apps might be useful for your parents, or grandparents, as they doesn't really require any smooth animations or complex interface, though.

Installation procedure


To install these, just download the APK file and install as a normal application. If that doesn't work, push the app to /system/app, set the permissions and reboot (this requires root access).



If you want to try the launcher out, you gotta be rooted. To install, download and flash the zip via custom recovery, reboot, press the home button on your device and choose your prefered launcher.

[APK] Get Nokia X Browser To Your Android Phone

Nokia X - The first Nokia's phone powered by Android has brought a few new apps such like browser or the Nokia store. If you are curious about these apps, specifically browser, you can now try it out thanks to GalaxyUser - an XDA that has ported this app and made it available for all Android deivces.

Again, there's nothing special available on this Nokia browser but if you are curious about what  Nokia has to offer, give it a shot and see. I would also like to recommend this browser to low-end smartphones, the browser is light-weight, doesn't support many features, therefore if your device seems slow or has a poor CPU, you might actually enjoy this browser.





Your device does not have to be rooted in order to run this app. Just download and install in usual way - just like any others.





For more information, check the original XDA thread.

Nokia X - Root, Google Play Store, G-Apps and Google Launcher

The thing that almost everybody expected to come has finally come. Yeah. The Nokia X as an Android phone has been finally rooted modded to run custom Launcher, apps from Google (GApps) or even original Google Play Store.

While we have the Nokia X phone rooted, we can basically sideload any APK file, thus run it. Let's watch some screens of modded Nokia X running the original Google Now Launcher available on Google Play Store:



To do this, you need to root your Nokia X phone. This can be done using the Gandalf Exploit included in well-known rooting app called Framaroot (More info + download).

After that, install and download a root explorer, and finally install GApps. Download a special package by KashaMalaga@XDA (Thanks to him, we can do all of this stuff), extract and copy all the APK files included in the ZIP to /system/app directory and change the permissions to rw-r-r--.

After rebooting, download this package and install every single APK in the usual way.

After that, you should be able to run Google Play Store.

Nokia X with Android Shows Up On Photos

Have you ever wondered? A Nokia phone powered with Android? Soon, it will became reality! The Nokia Corporation is reportedly building the Nokia X - Fully powered Android phone by Nokia. Is it going to be a success? We'll see in three days!

Although this phone will be running on Android, we can see a lot of "Windows-ish" stuff like design, overall UI or even some apps - Nokia X will have the Nokia Store instead of Google Play and will have the Here maps also originally from Nokia (instead of Google Maps). User Interface also looks like the phone is running on Windows Phone. Other words, you won't even recognize the Nokia X is an Android phone:

The Nokia X is going to be revealed on 24th of February in Barcelona. The phone will be priced about 116$ and should also come in dual-SIM version.
