androidpolice.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/nexusae0_roundup_icon_large.png">Welcome to the roundup of the best new Android applications, games, and live wallpapers that went live in the Play Store or were spotted by us in the previous 2 weeks or so.
This is the app roundup. The game roundup from this week can be found androidpolice.com/2012/09/04/31-best-new-android-games-from-the-last-2-weeks-81712-9412/" target="_blank">here.
Featured App
Video Locker Pro
Today's roundup is sponsored by Handy Apps' newest addition to its privacy and security stable, Video Locker and Video Locker Pro.
The principle is the same as their Photo Locker apps featured in many of our previous roundups: protect the videos stored locally on your device with a PIN, and keep them away from prying eyes.
The protection goes beyond mere denial of access. Video Locker will not appear in your list of recent apps, and the Pro version has an option to hide it from your app drawer as well.
Should you choose to enable it, the only way to access Video Locker Pro will be via an inconspicuous calculator widget and your personal PIN code. Speaking of which, you can recover your PIN via email if you forget it in either version.
Other features include a tablet-friendly user interface, 128-bit AES encryption, bulk video hiding, and folder-level locking. The standard app is free, while Video Locker Pro is advertisement-free and hidden from your app drawer for a reasonable $2.99.

Magisto - Magical Video Editor
Android Police review: [Review] Magisto Is An Automatic Video Editor For Android That, Against All Odds, Doesn't Suck
Video editing is a process that doesn't lend itself well to automation - it's strenuous, detail-oriented, and time-consuming. Magisto isn't a replacement for a full-featured video editor, but it can make uploading more professional videos from your phone a lot easier. Shoot one or more videos and add music if you like, then automatically upload to YouTube.
--

SkyDrive
Android Police coverage: Official Microsoft SkyDrive App Now Available For Android
You might be a regular user of Google Drive or Dropbox, but one good cloud service deserves another.

Like the basic SkyDrive service itself, the app is free.

Android Police coverage: [New App] Torrent Releases Full-Function BitTorrent Beta Client For Android
Torrent, or "MicroTorrent," is easily one of the most popular BitTorrent clients in the desktop world, and it's been officially absorbed by the BitTorrent company. They've released an official Android version, and though the free beta looks a lot like the standard version of BitTorrent, it's a welcome addition to the somewhat lacking torrent options in the Play Store.

Lyft: On-Demand Ridesharing
Android Police coverage: Official Lyft App Now Available For Android, Brings 'On-Demand Ridesharing' To San Francisco (For Now)
Lyft is a new service designed to easily transport urbanites around without having to hail a taxi or catch a bus. You can always call in or schedule a pickup online, but now there's an Android app to make it that much easier. So far the service is limited to the San Francisco Bay area, and the available rides are somewhat lacking.
--

Those of you who've spent time in the mathematics department know that AutoDesk is a powerful application for scientific computation. While the full version is still a bit much for mobile hardware, ForceEffect Motion will let you create simple physical models and simulations. Applications aren't all that apparent outside the physics department, but it's a free download.
--

handsonAR
Android Police Coverage: [New App] HandsonAR Uses Augmented Reality To Display How The Galaxy Note II, Optimus VU, Nexus 7, And More Will Look In Your Hands
Augmented reality is already pretty nerdy in and of itself. But to truly extend the geek factor, why not created an augmented reality phone with your phone? (Those of you preparing Xzibit jokes in the comments section: stop that right now.) HandsonAR creates virtual copies of popular Android devices like the Galaxy S II, Galaxy Note II, Nexus 7, et cetera, and places them in your hand virtually through an augmented reality app on your phone.

Sleep Time - Alarm Clock

There are plenty of alarm clocks available for Android, but this one does something unique: analyzes your sleep and wakes you up at the most appropriate time in your Circadian cycle.

XenoAmp
Music players are a dime a dozen on the Play Store, so when a new one comes along with a unique user interface, we tend to take notice. With a radial player design, XenoAmp got our attention, but it's more than just a pretty face. All the standard features are there, including a built-in equalizer. XenoAmp is in "unfinished beta," so expect some quirks in the early build.
--
Why try another music player when you've seen them all, and you use a better one anyway? Well - you haven't seen a music player like this. And believe me - mine's much bigger than yours. Forget screenshots, watch it move.

NBC Sports Live Extra
NBC's former Olympics app has shifted to become Sports Live Extra. It's an extension of NBC's various US-based sports coverage, across football, baseball, basketball, et cetera, including the NBC Sports Network and the Golf Channel. The app still includes video... and it's still restricted (for the most part) to cable and satellite subscribers. Bummer.
--

Lithic
I'm no fan of Instagram - the filters in that over-hyped app tend to make photos look worse, not better. But there's a new app out there that adds some interesting effects that you can't find even on desktop-class image editors. Lithic takes your photos and makes vector-based, black -and-white lithographs that are undeniably interesting. You'll need a photo with just the right contrast to get the effect right, but the results are striking when it works.
--
Lithic transforms your photos into realistic mini comic book / graphic novels providing customizations for layout, captions and more. Its state of the art filter creates effects from Van Gogh's painterly style to the harsh and gritty film noir look of Frank Miller. New features and improvements are in the works so keep watching this space. As always we love to hear what our users think. Please feel free to contact us with ideas and comments. We value your feedback.
Ad Hawk
If you're the kind of newshound who obsesses over the various political campaigns leading up to the November election... well, you probably need a new hobby. Like yarn cataloging. But if you must, Ad Hawk (clever) identifies the ad and tells you exactly who's funding it, so you can gain a deeper understanding of their motivations, and perhaps make a more informed decision about the validity of their claims.
--
Identify election ads as they air and learn about who is behind them immediately on your mobile device. Ad Hawk was produced by the nonpartisan nonprofit Sunlight Foundation. The app helps Americans know who spends money to influence their votes by providing valuable contextual information about the TV and radio ads they see during the 2012 elections. We ask for permission to access your location because we collect anonymous location information with one-mile accuracy to improve our database of where political ads are airing and to identify slight variations across media markets. This is on by default, and can easily be disabled at any time in the app's settings. Your contributions help improve the database for everyone. Thanks.
Muzy
Muzy is a strange mix between online photo editor and Tumblr-style blogging platform. The new Android app takes several steps out of the process, allowing you to take photos from your phone or tablet, edit them, upload them, and annotate them without ever leaving the app. Muzy is free, but several early users are reporting stability issues.
--
Over 10 million people use Muzy. It's the free, all-in-one way to edit photos, make collages, and more. Instantly share to Facebook or just save it for later. Muzy combines your favorite creative tools for photos, collages, status messages, and more:
Collage photos from Facebook, your camera roll, and the Internet together with text and backgrounds
Frame your pics with dozens of classic layouts
Add gorgeous effects to any photo to make them vintage, sepia, black and white, and more
Write a status message with custom fonts
Tweetification
Tweetification does just one thing: detects incoming SMS messages from Twitter and displays them as a notification. Simple, useful, (assuming you still use text alerts from Twitter) and customizable.
--
Tweetification is a small app that intercepts a SMS notification message from Twitter and displays it as a system notification. ** You need to setup Twitter SMS notification for this app to work ** You can customize which application launches when touched. 3rd party Twitter applications are not being granted push notification access from Twitter at the moment. Poll notifications waste your battery.
Hooha for App.net
The future of paid social network App.net is still very much in the air, but they've got at least one thing right: APIs for developers. One of the first App.net clients for Android is the oddly-named Hooha, which integrates with your stream and allows you to post and share in the standard way. It's got impressive Holo UI integration, putting it one step above the likes of the official apps from Twitter and Facebook.
--
Say hello to Hooha (formally Jive), a new App.net client built for the community from the ground up. Hooha is a simple, clean and minimalistic app that is designed for readability. It makes reading, posting and sharing on App.net from your Android device a breeze. What's App.net? It's a different kind of social platform. A real-time social service where users and developers come first, not advertisers. Hooha requires an App.net account. Don't have one? https://join.app.net/
Norton Spot Ad Detector
Norton's got its fair share of detractors, but we can all agree that spam and adware are even worse. The new Spot Ad Detector aims to locate and pinpoint adware on your device, making it easy to remove. Can't figure out which of the half-dozen new apps on your phone is spamming your notification area? Give Norton Spot Ad Detector a try.
--

Dashlane
We all know that using the same password for everything makes for incredibly poor security, but all too many of us do it anyway. If you're looking for more security without beating your brains out, Dashlane may be a good choice. Industry-standard AES-256 encryption keeps your information safe behind a master password or PIN number, synced back to Dashlane on your desktop.

Audiobooks for Android
Audible has a lot of fans, but there are plenty who don't like its credit system and limited downloads. If you want a catalog of audiobooks in an independent market, give Audiobooks for Android a try. It ties into the Audiobooks.com database for content. You can stream purchased books over any connection, but unfortunately downloads are limited to WiFi.
