Wow… Polaris Office 5 by InfraWare is coming faster than I thought. Yes, you can download and install Polaris Office 5 for free on your Samsung Galaxy S4 now. No need to use Polaris viewer 5 anymore and unleash the ability to edit office documents like Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF.

Kodi 14.0 Helix – a must have media center
Yes, you can enable DTS codec support on MX Player. It is working on my Nexus 7 (2013) perfectly. However, DTS audio is not working on my Galaxy S4 with the latest version of MX Player even with custom codec loaded. Not sure why… Anyway, Kodi 14.0 Helix media player comes to rescue. Kodi is XBMC actually. Yup, it has a new name. And loaded with new features like capable of playing back h.265 (also known as HEVC) and VP9 video codecs. However, decoding of h.265 is entirely software based for the moment. So it won’t work well on Android and iOS devices with low processing power. But should work fine on powerful PC system.
Yeah… Kodi is working great with my newly added DLNA media server. I am streaming most of media from local NAS now. However, I still prefer MX Player as it is much user friendly on mobile devices. But Kodi stays on Galaxy S4 due to DTS audio codec support.
