Everyone can now mirror notifications between their Android phone and Windows 10 PC

Microsoft's been toying with the idea of mirroring your phone's notifications (and more) to Windows 10 for quite a while. The feature was previously present for beta-testing folks running the so-called "insider" builds, and yesterday the company formally announced that notification mirroring has arrived for the rest of us — though reports indicate that the rollout is happening gradually.

Notifications have arrived! With the Your Phone app, you can now receive and manage your Android phone’s notifications on your PC.

DarQ lets you control dark mode on a per-app basis on rooted Android Q phones

Google is finally rolling out a system-wide dark mode in Android Q, and the community is wasting no time making it better. The new app DarQ from Quinny899 on XDA Forums lets you force dark mode for the apps of your choosing. The apps you don't want darkened will continue rendering normally. However, you'll need root to play around with DarQ.

Android Q includes an option to force dark mode on, but this applies to all apps.

League of Wonderland is a new strategy battle game from Sega, and it's available for pre-registration

League of Wonderland is a strategy game themed around fairy tales, historical figures, and popular myths to create an ensemble cast where players use hero cards to defeat their opponent's tower within a 2-minute timespan, much like Clash Royale. It will be up to you to lead your characters to victory to become the best player in the League of Wonderland.

I suppose it was only a matter of time before Sega took the easy route to copy a more successful game with the hope that the company will strike it rich with a global phenomenon, and yet somehow I doubt League of Wonderland will ever find the same success as Clash Royale.

Lawnchair v2 alpha's 'At a Glance' widget expands beyond Pixel limits with more notification types

Google's Pixels don't precisely come with "stock" software, the company bundles in some Pixel-specific tweaks. Among those additions are the Pixel Launcher, which is most recognizable these days by its iconic "At a Glance" widget up at the top. Many third-party home screen replacements aim to mimic the clean design of the Pixel Launcher with their own version of that widget, and Lawnchair just expanded the widget's functionality to work with a whole pile of new providers, with more on the way.

Indie Games Showcase from Google Play - meet the winners!

Posted by Patricia Correa, Director, Developer Marketing

We just wrapped up the Indie Games Showcase in Europe, Japan & South Korea! Back in March we started our search for some of the newest and most creative indie titles from these regions. The search culminated last week with the celebration of indie developers at events in London, Tokyo, and Seoul, and the selection of the winners from our finalists. Developers from 12 countries traveled to the events and showcased their games to the audience of gamers, industry experts, YouTube creators, and journalists.

The games were on show to the public, who spent several hours trying out their games and voting for their favourites, alongside the Google Play team. The top 10 finalists were then selected, and went on to pitch their games, and compete for big prizes in front of the jury.

Now, we are happy to announce the winners from each region! They will be returning home with a prize package that includes promotions on the Google Play Store, consultations with Google teams, Google hardware, and more.

We also want to take this opportunity to congratulate all the other finalists and developers who entered the competition this year. We are impressed by your creativity and passion, and hope you will continue to create amazing experiences for players worldwide.
