The Cyanogen decided a few years ago who wants to be an alternative to Google and its mobile operating system. With CyanogenMod has managed to maintain a strong presence, replacing often manufacturers in providing updates.
But the Cyanogen wants to go further and therefore also has its own applications, with Gello to the last. This is the browser that dispenses all others and that is free from Google’s rules. Interested? Then we explain how you can use it!
Gello was announced about a year and promised to be a completely different browser than existed in the market. Based on Chromium, would be independent of Google and all the information it collects from users.
The truth is that the first stable version of Gello is available, but for now only for those who use the CyanogenMod. Fortunately, the final version is also available independently and can be used by all who want to install manually. Let us know Gello and how we can use.
install Gello
the first step is obvious, we have to install Gello. The Cyanogen has in its archives the versions that will create and we can install periodically to keep the updated Gello. then start by downloading the latest version of Gello that is, as of today, to 18. This version can be found on this page.
To install will need to have active Unknown sources to can install applications outside of the Play Store. If you do not have it on, see below how to do it.
enable unknown sources
to make sure you can install applications outside the Play Store must have active the unknown sources . To enable or verify that you have active this option, follow the steps below:
- Go to Settings Android
- Search and enter the Security
- Make sure the unknown sources is active
Now you have the apk Gello on your Android and it may receive external applications, it’s time to install the Gello. Just touch double-apk and the installation process runs smoothly.
Once you allow the installation the Gello is ready to be released and the user, right from the installation interface.
Configure Gello
on the first use of Gello is recommended to make some changes to the configuration, so that from the first time can use it to the maximum.
There are 4 options that should enable all residents in the space reserved for the interface, the configuration zone. then activate edge navigation , in order to advance or go back in history with a simple swipe, the Full screen , to gain space on the screen, the Status Bar color to have the Gello colors adjusted to the site visit, and the night mode so that the Gello change the color of the pages to get a better adaptation to light in night environment.
There is also the possibility of removing Google as search engine set and the power saving mode to … spare this precious good of your smartphone.
Use Gello
Now that Gello is installed and configured can begin to use it permanently. Exploit all the capabilities of a browser based on Chromium, but that does not require all the extras that Google places. It is also an area where Cyanogen has done their experiences and where you can see new features.
Although already have listed, again left the council to test the swipe to navigate the historic, night mode and several other small novelties that put this browser and that make the difference with the competition.
know the Gello
for those not familiar, this browser has emerged about a year, as an idea of Cyanogen to free users Google all the information that it collects about users of your browser.
Based on the open source version of Chrome, Chromium, the browser ensures access to all that the community has been created, with the advantage to be free from Google and have news that the Cyanogen community will create.
Slowly Gello was being prepared and is now in version 13 of CyanogenMod. It’s up to each one of those maintaining the ROMs for the different smartphones the decision to include or not, but certainly the Gello will be present.
As for those who do not use the CyanogenMod, you can only follow this guide and periodically visit the repositories and check for new versions.
They exchanged Chrome Android by Gello?
