Released back in 2011, Androidify lets you create a custom Android avatar of yourself and others. The Android app has been updated over the years, but was recently removed from the Google Play Store.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Extremely customizable, Androidify starts by letting you choose a skin tone for your droid or stick to the default bright green. In addition to adjusting length and width, body features include hair types and color.<\/p>\n

There’s then a whole range of clothing, pants, shoes, hats, scarves, and miscellaneous items to hold like cameras or phones \u2014 specifically a Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P. Google touts a quintillion (1,490,248,844,407,008,000) clothing and accessory combinations. This experience was very much a part of Google’s previous “be together, not the same”<\/a> branding campaign from 2014.<\/p>\n

Androidify was born out of the spirit of the Android operating system-a system that lets anyone make, build, offer or buy all sorts of things, but in a way that helps all those things work together. Even the Android mascot is open source. So go ahead… use Androidify to turn the little green mascot into your own creation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\t\t
