If this is the first you’ve heard of Team Carbon then you probably haven’t been using CM7. Which is ok. Especially since they have their eyes set on home replacement themes. If you are unfamiliar with those and are still using OEM sense or Touchwiz it’s time to get with the program and replace your home with Go [...]
If I had to pick a theme that I would consider my daily driver GO Launcher EX Theme it would be this one. The icon set is very extensive at 750 themed icons. The first paragraph of the Market description says 1000+ icons but then they say 750 later on. So I’m not sure exactly [...]
One thing that was on my Christmas list this year was a case for my Samsung Galaxy S 2 that wouldn’t add too much bulk, look good and actually provide a decent level of protection. I’ve had my eye on the D3O cases for a while and was so glad to open one up Christmas day! [...]
There are several Siri wannabe options. Skyvi is probably your best bet at actually getting something done, but since it runs in the background it’ll probably eat your battery for breakfast. I should probably do more testing before making that statement but I just don’t like this type of app. The Speaktoit Assistant comes in [...]
Hats off to Team Carbon for porting their CM7 Theme chooser themes as GO Launcher EX themes. One thing I’ve been missing since upgrading from my Vibrant to the Galaxy S II is my CM7 Theme chooser. Now thanks to Team Carbon some familiar themes are now available for those of us who use GO Launcher EX. First [...]
The battle for design infringement has raged across the globe this year. Fortunately for Samsung a German judge has said that the changes they made to its exterior design are different enough from Apple’s iPad. (Top image is new version) From what I can tell they wrapped the metal trim, that normally stopped at the [...]
Here’s another beaut guys. I’ve been scouring the market looking for something a theme just different enough but not weird. Stumbled upon this one about eleven pages into the online Android market. The first thing that caught my attention was the wallpaper. I’m usually not into themes for the wallpaper and typically I don’t use [...]
Bring in the new year with a new Go Launcher EX Theme! Actually beyond the cheesy new year references this is a pretty slick theme. I really like it’s simple materialistic (dare I say ICS like) lines. But it’s definitely not yet another Ice Cream Sandwich theme. Beginning 2012 is different from most that I’ve seen and so [...]
I have a soft spot for walking armored robots that shoot each other. I don’t quite know what it is, but ever since the original Mech Warrior I’ve been hooked on the genre. So when I came across Destroy Gunners I got pretty excited. The game is freaking awesome. It’s full 3D, the controls aren’t designed to make [...]
Do you love having contacts at your fingertips but hate filling your home-screen with contact widgets or shortcuts? I do. For the longest time I solved this problem by having my contact shortcuts in the dock bar (wife) and a few just one screen over so that the initial homescreen was clean. Sign, however, gives [...]
Brought on by the ridiculous miss-handling of the Galaxy Nexus by Verizon Wireless the guys over at Android Community have suggested that Google make a Nexus Certification Program where any OEM can submit devices for the Nexus label. Months of delay caused by Verizon’s desire to partner with ISIS for a NFC payment system that won’t be ready until early [...]
Sign petition: Logitech: Release an “open” boot-loader for the Logitech Revue I really don’t understand why manufacturers don’t open up their devices! Obviously once a device has had some customization made to it the company doesn’t have to support it via warranty anymore and that’s the risk we end-users take when we install custom ROMs etc… [...]
If you’re like me and have been waiting patiently for MIUI to come out for your device this’ll curb your cravings for MIUI, well at least for a while. There’s really not much to say. It’s a custom lockscreen with really good-looking themes. The themes can be downloaded from within the app itself making skinning [...]
Trident Case has finally released the Aegis case for the T-Mobile Galaxy S 2! Woot! I’ve been waiting to get a case until one of the high end protective cases came out. Granted this isn’t a military grade case and you shouldn’t test it out by driving your car over it or anything but it’s [...]
I was perusing the trending apps, as I often do, looking for something new to review and saw one called Hooked. The name is what grabbed my attention first. Hooked on what? Interested I clicked it found out that it is a game review engine that lets you rate the games that you already have and [...]
