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...

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 MIUI team released a beta of MIUI V5 about a week ago for current owners of the Xiaomi Mi 2. The  Mi 2 is primarily a device that is found in China, but for the specs and the physical price tag to get one into the states, we are sure some of you might have snagged one. MIUI is no stranger to the...

Alright HTC One S brothers and sisters. Time to take a look at another awesome ROM for our beloved phone. I was very excited when I saw that a Liquid Smooth ROM has been ported over to the One S. Even more excited to see that it was Android 4.2.2. This was the first stable Android 4.2.2 ROM to be...

AOKP. The bad boys of AOSP. Some people hate it. Some people love it. There can definitely be a divide when it comes to AOKP and CyanogenMod. What do I think? They both have their features that I like. I do not discriminate between either of them. AOKP has “unofficially” come to the...

Finally. We have some Android 4.2 ROMs for our beloved HTC One S. There are some CM10.1 beta builds out there, as well as an unofficial AOKP ROM that you can choose. I decided to go with the Baked BlackBean ROM from Team Baked. Seemed it was time to get baked. Right off the bat, I noticed the quick...

Alright fellow HTC One S brothers and sisters. It is time to bring back that video segment to our beloved phone. I know I still need to do a tutorial on how to root the device. It is on my list of videos to do. In the mean time, it is time to show off some ROMs. In comes JellyBam. I nice little party...

For those curious android users who love to root their devices and install custom kernels; haven’t you wanted to know what goes in to building ROM? You find the theme given by various Launchers not that friendly, and often think you can have done better with the design or the logos.  To promote...

  UPDATE:  Nitroglycerine33 has released Build 2 of the progress builds, this time with sweet new changes in the System settings for Battery Icon Mods (one of my faves) and a few other tasty treats.  If you’re not on the Progress Builds already, you’re missing out, get over there,...

Custom 4.2 Visits Toro With each new release of the sweet treats from the Android Mother Ship, Google, there is a race (at times a meander) to get a solid stable build up that is full of clean coding, buttery smoothness, and all around Android tastiness.  In my mind the race from 4.1.2 to 4.2 was no...

AOKP has definitely made its mark in the Android community, by simply tweaking our beloved stock Android, in a rockstar, unicorn fashion. Just like how Cyanogen has their stable candidate versions, AOKP has their stable versions that they call “milestones”. With these milestones, major...
