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...

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...

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,...

Happy Monday to all. Seems that the CyanogenMod team has been working to get their next version of Cm 10.1 out to the public. Today they have released the new M2 builds for a slew of devices. The M2 build is Android 4.2.2, and the builds are stable. Here is what you can expect from this build: Common:...

We all love a great theme, a great mod, a great new way to make our devices look just how we want. A clean and tidy home screen or lock screen just makes us feel good about ourselves and our device. Anyone that has been around Android for long enough know the status bar at the top. We love it, we hate...

Innovation is always key. And the boys who have created the Paranoid ROMs have done just that. Not only have they introduced hybrid features to their ROMs, they have recently added another little nugget of Android innovation to their builds. PIE controls. PIE controls are nifty little shortcuts that...

Ever been showing a friend something on your phone, and the lady (or man) in your life decides they want to send you a not so PG-13 rated message or picture? It happens. But CyanogenMod wants to change all that. They have recently merged a feature called “privacy mode” to the SMS app on...

Time for a little Android 4.2 if you have not gotten it already. CyanogenMod has rolled out the CM10.1 M-Series which are the most stable builds for each device. Sadly, it is not all the high-end phones. I have been unlucky to not get any Android 4.2 builds on my One S yet, but I know the One S is a...

Who bought an LG Optimus G? How about changing that Optimus G into a Nexus 4? Wait, you do not want to? I would not blame you. I played with in Optimus G yesterday for the first time, and I found it oh so sexy. Even LG’s UI did not bother me at all. It has a lot of great features, and just the...

PhotoSphere, Photosphere Get Yours Here! Update: Dmmarck at AndroidCentral has figured out what is needed to get the PhotoSphere function working.  Here is a list of what you will need.  This comes straight from the Source.  Once again, Dmmarck, thanks for the hard work and making this happen: Push those...

Hello one and all, I’m back with another My MIUI Theme Edition for your enjoyment.  This week I am bringing a theme that is near and dear to my heart. It is one oh my favorite games in the Play Store and has found its way into a well done theme…So without further ado…Angry Birds Themed...

Time for the boys at CyanogenMod to chime in on the day that belongs to the NEXUS. Seems that the boys have decided to add a nice little feature called “expandable desktop”. What is that magnificence you ask? Nothing major. Just hides your status bar to make your desktop a little bit bigger....

Lockscreen Mod Incoming for AOKP…SOON!! Its not everyday someone comes out with something pretty sick.  I’ve only seen this sort of lockscreen mod on some of the MIUI themes I like to dabble with every so often.  Its pretty cool to get to see something like this hitting AOKP, those guys...

Welcome one and all to a review of the JusTun Bean GApps Aroma Installer App.  Yes, I did say aroma installer.  This gentleman and his partner TUN_SD (The Themer) have put together a great app that allows you to dictate what you want installed, if you want inverted or standard GApps installed, and...

The boys at Cyanogen are wasting no time in getting the latest and greatest of Android out to us. This week we learned that Android 4.1.2 will be what is running on the new LG Nexus, and that the Nexus 7 will soon be receiving the update. As much as we were all were craving some Key Lime Pie, I think...
