Ever since the introduction of AOKP, then the boom of the PACman Roms, AOSP builds with a thousand features from different roms loaded into one has become somewhat of a… well, accepted practice, if not expected. It is the norm to expect an all inclusive rom on your device. Nothing wrong with that,...

The first builds for the newly HALO enhanced Paranoid Android builds have begun rolling out to the Nexus family. The Nexus 4, 7, and even the Galaxy Nexus, now have builds where you can try out the new HALO notifications. My jealousy ensues. These builds are considered alpha builds still, so things...

The HTC One has been S-OFF’d. A special thanks to a tip by developer extraordinaire and Team D.I.R.T. member Mazda. Android is totally getting cool points for this one. The procedure, though tried by many and failed by just as many, was achieved by MobileTechVideos.com, a company that specializes...

Steve Kondik of the CyanogenMod crew  just posted the screenshot that you see above from a Galaxy S4. He pokes fun at those pesky rumors about CM not supporting the Galaxy S4, by saying, “Definitely not supporting the S4.” That whole debacle on misinformation from certain sites (us being...

  Samsung Galaxy S4 is the latest addition to the Galaxy family and it has accumulated just as much hype. However, even though it won’t be getting any official CyanogenMod love, it would not be complete without root. Well, fear not, as wonderful developers have come to your rescue with root...

If you are rooted then you have probably or are currently, running a CyanogenMod build of Android. Even some of the other ROM’s out there are CM based and offer the theme chooser app built right in. Either way, you could probably use some themes to keep your Android addiction new and fresh. Team...

For those of you out there on the absolute bleeding edge, who also own Nexus devices, Ubuntu Touch Daily Builds are now based on the next update to Ubuntu, 13.04. 13.04, named Raring Ringtail, is currently in the final stages of beta testing, before going live next week for desktops.  So far Ubuntu...

Oh how we have missed Tha Phlash. For those who may not be informed, Tha Phlash is an icon designer who has been around the Android block quite a few times. His work spreads to PC’s Tablets, Roller Coasters, murals and plenty of other places across the globe. You can see quite a bit of outside...

Well we have been around for about 5 years and we feel as though we should give a bit of ourselves to our readers. So thanks to two great individuals by the name of @Knokfirst and @Stealthychief we can do that today. We have been looking for some great graphic artists to help us with this little project...

Out of the ROM oven, and into the CyanogenMod bakery comes the new round of CM 10.1. The M-series for 10.1 becomes a trilogy today, and the CM team has released the new delicious treat to a slew of devices. I guess this will be the first release to have Koush’s Superuser app baked inside, which...

It has been a little time since I did a ROM review for our beloved HTC One S. Decided to give SlimBean UNOFFICIAL from D.I.R.T. a try, and right off the bat, I fell in love with it. Too bad certain things would drive me away. First thing I noticed when the phone booted up, was the SlimBean “S”...

The Galaxy S4 is not even out yet, and developers have already went to work on it. Some XDA developers have successfully rooted the Galaxy S4, but only the international Exynos 5 version. Does not shock me that that version receives root first, and I am sure the other versions will get to their roots...

For those of you that want to get a little taste of the Galaxy S4 before it comes out, you can now download some of those lovely wallpapers it comes with. There is seven wallpapers to choose from. All of them are fairly “nature” inspired, and the colors seem to leap off the picture. So if...

PIE Controls from the unique and awesome Paranoid ROMs, have migrated their way over to the CyanogenMod 10.1 builds. It makes sense for the CM team to incorporate this distinct feature in their ROMs. I think PIE Controls are pretty fantastic. Helps add to that whole multi-tasking feature we all love,...

The popular portal game, Ingress, certainly has made its mark in the Android world. I never bothered to give it a shot, simply because I probably would not get any work done if I did. With that though, a nice little developer by the name of giannisgx89 has brought the look of Ingress in a new AOKP/CM10...
