Have you ever wanted to install commonly used Social Media Applications like Facebook, FB Messenger, Youtube, Skype, etc. on your device that runs with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) Software? Even tried to download it from Google Play Store only to be disappointed when it tell you that “this application is incompatible with your device”?
Most of the applications now are only compatible with devices that runs with Android versions 4.0 (Ice Cream) and higher. Though updates were available for free to upgrade Android versions on devices, there are some low-end devices that has no available updates.
So if you have an Android device which is stuck with Android 2.3.6 forever and find it boring not being able to download, don’t worry. There are some most used Android applications that has been modified versions that could work perfectly with your device. And that is a big thank you to developers who never stopped developing Android applications.
I have gathered some applications that are in demand to most smartphone users that has compatibility issues.
The applications you can see below are modified applications and have been tested by me personally to make sure it runs perfectly on devices with Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS.
YouTube
If you are unable to launch this application because it is asking for Google Play Services application (downloading it will eat a big space in your memory), Download this Google Play services application instead.
Skype
Opera Mini Beta
My Contacts
Camera 360
Go SMS Pro
WPS Office
FB Messenger
Facebook
Facebook Lite
Although you could install Facebook on your device using the application above, one main issue that you will be facing is out of memory because mostly on lower models of smartphones have a very low internal memory space. Installing Facebook Lite is a better choice and solution.
When you navigate your phone and it seems slow and lagging, changing your launcher to a launcher that is lite, fast and smooth can be a solution at times. You can choose from the following launchers:
Holo HD Launcher
Holo Launcher
ADW Launcher
NOTES
SUBWAY SURFERS
