How To: Make Any Android Device Easier to Use with One Hand
Our hands aren't necessarily getting any bigger, but smartphones still seem to be getting larger and larger. With average cell phone display sizes nearly doubling since 2007 (leading to new terminology like "phablet"), reaching all corners of a screen can become nearly impossible with one hand. Granted, most larger devices like the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy Note 4 come with a one-handed option to make navigating easier, but other popular devices like the Nexus 6 don't. While it may seem like you're out of luck if your device doesn't include this feature, today I'll show you how to make any Android device ready for one-handed usage.
Step 1: Get the Prerequisites Out of the WayIn order for this process to work, be sure to root your device and install the Xposed Framework.
Step 2: Install One-Handed ModeUsing the Xposed Installer application, download and install the mod named One-Handed Mode for all devices from developer Hamzah Malik. Once installed, make sure to properly activate the module.
Step 3: Adjust Your MarginsOpen the module's interface, accessible through your app drawer under "OneHand Mode." Through the settings, you can select to adjust the margins for apps and for the notification tray. I suggest by starting small, as entering a larger value can ruin the display and make it difficult to revert back to normal.
Step 4: Add the WidgetBy applying the OneHand Mode widget to your home screen, you can seamlessly toggle the mod on or off—either the apps, the notification tray, or both.
Additional OptionsSelecting the "Settings" of the app will also provide you with additional options, like adjusting the notification toggle or selecting a color for the border of your adjusted margins. Not only will this mod make one-hand mode possible for any Android device, it can be adjusted any way you like, in case the existing one-handed mode you have isn't the way you want it.Make sure to follow Android Hacks over on Facebook and Twitter, or Gadget Hacks over on Facebook, Google+, and Twitter, for more Android tips.
If you have stuck volume buttons, it can be a real pain to adjust sound levels since your only other option is to use the volume menu in Settings. But even if your volume rocker is working fine, it's still a little weird to have to click a mechanical button to control one of the most central aspects of an operating system that is otherwise entirely touch-based.

Before many games make it to the US-based iOS App Store, they get "soft launched" in a smaller country to get real-world testing for bugs. It's a pilot program, so to speak, as countries like Vietnam or the Philippines have far fewer iPhone users than the US, thus offer a more controlled environment for developers to get feedback and zero-in on issues that may occur in a game's early
