Alchemy has quickly become one of those games that people talk about. I have had friends ask me how far I have gotten, or if I know how to make a certain elemental combination. Its not only highly addictive but it’s also a great conversation starter. If by some crazy chance you have never...

You may have the seen the article posted a couple of weeks ago from an Indian source claiming that the Samsung Galaxy S series of phones would be getting upgraded to Gingerbread.  Well, that tweet has since magically vanished from Twitter.  I may have been removed by Samsung themselves, which could...

XDA member Anderdroid, has just released the latest market update in an installable .apk file for everyone. This update only moves up the build slightly from 2.2.6 to 2.2.7. The primary fix in this version pertains to rendering issues that devices with a screen size of 480X800 were having. Which pretty...

Our good friends over at Wirefly have put together yet another device Schmackdown! This time pitting Google’s Nexus S against the HTC EVO 4G. The video is just over 15 minutes long and is rather in depth. If you have been considering a Nexus S, I would recommend watching this video for a really...

*Spark is another home replacement app that was just released yesterday. It has a unique style and design to it that helps make it stand out from the rest of our options. The look and feel of this particular home screen reminds me of Motoblur in a way, but of course executed a little better. I installed...

Icons, icons and more icons. I don’t think any of us could ever get enough variation of downloadable icons for our devices. I know we have brought you quite a few variations recently, and from the looks of it you guys have been loving it. Here is another wonderful pack of icons created by Onymous...

NFS: Shift has been around for a little while but was limited to just a demo version that floated around the web. The mega hit racing game by EA has now been officially launched to the Android market. If you haven’t seen it in action before, take a look at the video below. THINK FAST!...

At this very moment the Samsung Intercept is receiving an OTA update which includes Android 2.2 (Froyo). I can personally confirm this as I have a Samsung Intercept review unit and it has received the OTA. Can’t wait to receive the OTA prompt? Try the steps below to update manually. From the...

Thank goodness it’s Friday, right? I know I have been waiting all week for this day to get here. Although, this does put us one day closer to the end of the month and the end of our game (I know, I am sad too), I am sure Rovio will have more fun stuff in store for us soon. On to why you are all...

Are you ready for a Gingerbread (Android 2.3) AOSP? If you are, I believe you are in luck. Googler Jean-Baptiste Queru is pushing the source code to AOSP right now, and everything should be completed in a few hours. If I was a betting man I would say that our Android dev’s in the community will...

Although CyanogenMod for the myTouch 4G is still a nightly build, it is amazing! I have installed it on my phone and I am blown away at the speed. It is incredibly smooth and almost everything is working. While I don’t have the chance to play with this ROM in detail it feels amazing, and really...

Have you ever forgotten to plug in your phone at night to find a low or dead battery the next day? Sure, we all have, and this application will be like a second mind. If your phone is not charging at bed time, an intelligent alarm will sound.  The alert is delayed up to 10 minutes if the screen is...

Ah, another tear down brought to you courtesy of ifixit. There is not much special here, except the awesome curves of the front display laid out. Yes, the screen is actually curved (check after the break). We hope this made some of you geeks very happy today! Enjoy. Check out the break down over at...

We now have Wimax successfully working in CyanogenMod for the HTC EVO thanks to @toastcfh and @shinzul. It looks like they were up til the wee hours in the morning working on this puppy and all their hard work has paid off. When I say paid off, I mean it literally. Many members on the XDA forums put...
