On Friday we shared with you guys a set of files that were available for Xperia Play owners to flash that brought the new look and UI from the Xperia S to your device.

Android is a rather interesting eco system to follow and work with. One of the biggest issues that devs face is often the 3G/4G, Hardware Acceleration and the camera.

Many of us that do not have the latest and greatest Android device might be wondering if the CyanogenMod Team is going to sup up our devices with CM9 that we have had for the past year and a half. Not going to lie, I was kind of worried that my G2 was not going to make the cut. Well for those of you...

Not to long ago, we posted about how you can beef up your status bar if you were rocking CM9 on either the Galaxy Nexus or the Motorola Atrix.

On the flip side, we also know many of you have switched over to beta, alpha or any other number of Ice Cream Sandwich ROMs that are floating around. No matter your Android OS of choice. many...

Bored with the way your Google Talk looks? Let’s face it. It is kind of plain. They jazzed it up on ICS a bit, but if your phone has not been given the ICS treament just yet, lets make your GTalk look awesome. Well known developer B-boy has got a simple tweak to make your GTalk transparent if...

Anyone with a Nexus S and has a fancy for Sense, will be glad to hear that Sense 4.0 has been ported over from the HTC Endeavor. There is that name “Endeavor”. We all know that HTC has announced that to be the HTC One X, which is the awesome of the awesome. A leaked Endeavor RUU showed up...

With CM9, they no doubt plan to tweak out your status bar. Now a couple XDA members have helped tweak out...

Got a device that is not supported by CyanogenMod? Is there a problem with their code that you have noticed? Maybe some vulnerabilities within the software? The CyanogenMod Team wants to hear any suggestions from us users on how to make their deductible ROMs even better than they already are. A blog...

Just today HTC announced that they were releasing the Beats audio API’s so developers could start including it in applications. Long before the API announcement, many developers pulled the software and modified it for other devices and their custom-built ROMs. There have been a few ROMs running...
