We often rely on what a developer of a particular ROM does behind the scenes to provide us with the best experience possible. Sometimes the tweaks implemented improve our experience, other times they hinder. Most developers list the tweaks they have applied to their work so you know what has been done. That doesn’t always [...]

The HTC Jetstream has been one of those device that seems to have taken forever to get opened up. Just earlier this morning XDA member DooMLoRD posted up perm root and a CWM based recovery. That puts this tablet a step closer to custom-built ROMs that should make it a dream to own. Of course you need [...]

The MOTOACT is one of those odd, yet somewhat compelling little devices that we see no real need for, but just want to have for some reason. For the tech junkie it isn’t about what the device was designed for or able to do out of the box, it is what it can do and [...]

The wonderful world of Android that we all live in gives us a lot of flexibility. From custom ROMs, themes, tweaks and hacks. There almost isn’t anything that we can achieve on our devices. With more and more Ice Cream Sandwich ROMs being built and tested, someone was bound to change things up a bit. [...]

I get a lot of requests for widgets and applications either reviewed or located. Sometime I find things and share them here, other times I just link it to the person asking. We have shared this thread that is located on XDA in the past, but it has been a while since it saw any [...]

You may have noticed various new ROMs running around CommunityRelease, XDA, RootzWiki or wherever. Some of the latest ROMs for your HTC devices have been including the new Beats audio software inside. That is awesome by the way. But some of you are happy with the ROM you are one and don’t feel like flashing, [...]

Yesterday we posted up a preview of some of the amazing work the @B_boytm has done to offer us a themed out version of GMail. So many options to choose from I didn’t even know where to start. Since he seems to be the primary modder of our beloved Google apps, I thought we should [...]

It has been a while since I checked in on some of our themers. I usually check on what they have done shortly after an update to the apps that we all have and love. One of the more recent apps to update in the last couple weeks was GMail. Staying true to his dedication, [...]

No likes a stuttering video, especially when it is on a device that shouldn’t have any issues at all. There is a work around now available for all ASUS Transformers that will solve and significantly improve your FPS in the stock browser and Dolphin HD. Thanks to some work by XDA member, Roach2010. I have come up with [...]

Yesterday we reported that the HP Touchpad has ClockworkMOD recovery and ADB access. Today we get to share some video love of CM7 booting up on the device. There isn’t a whole lot to report yet though. The boot up works but the colors aren’t set correctly yet. The touch screen does’t function and as [...]

We’ve all heard about the amazing bounty laid down for the person who can get Android running on the HP TouchPad. It sounds like some people are getting a lot closer.  rhcp011235 and other members of the team working on the port of Android to HP’s TouchPad have now been successful in booting into Android’s recovery mode and ClockworkMOD recovery. [...]

Here is another nice bit of work by our friends in the XDA community. Seems as though member theos0o, has taken the Talk2 application from the Samsung Galaxy S II and ported it to the Samsung Galaxy S. I would naturally assume you should have a front facing camera to fully enjoy this application. The dev [...]

When the new Android market was previewed at Google I/O, everyone was full of ‘oohs and aahhs’. Then the leak came out and then the updates. From that point forward the market has been a hot topic of conversation. Some people love it, others can’t stand it and just want to take a step backwards [...]

Behind every great themer or developer is a woman that keeps them going and keeps putting up with their habits. @B-boytm has taken countless hours out his day and time with his family to give us all some great application alternatives that are easier on the eyes and the power supply. His latest release is [...]

Very recently there was an update to the Google Videos app that allowed the newest feature to work on all Android devices sporting Android 2.2+. This inevitably helped many users get there hands on the latest ability to rent and watch movies on their devices. Sadly, due to piracy concerns, this function was not allowed [...]
