Christmas come early yet again from our boys over at Cyanogen. First they showed us screenshots of their new launcher named “Trebuchet” for CM9, now they are giving us a quick look of what the lock screen could look like. The same guy who created the rings/bubbles for CM7 is hard at work again here, [...]

The boys over at Cyanogen have been hard at work to bring us their next delicious treat full of Ice Cream Sandwich, CM9. While other AOSP ICS ROMS hit the forums, we all still cannot wait until we get a taste of what Cyanogen is brewing up. Some phones have been getting early alpha versions, [...]

If you are anything like me, then no matter how bad a$$ a device may be you wait for a root announcement before you pick one up. That’s how I was with the Vibrant and how I plan to purchase devices going forward. There is no way I can live with out custom ROMs and [...]

Judging by the number of downloads that are currently showing up on the CM7 builds, I know there are plenty of you out there. I thought you might like to know a few more settings that I ran across by accident. Some of these may be new to the latest builds, or they could be [...]

I am a huge theme whore. Sadly I can’t make my own themes, but luckily we have some amazing people out there that take a huge amount of time out of their lives to put something together that is amazing. High Voltage is currently my favorite theme out. This theme was designed and built by [...]

Good news for those of you who run with stock ROMS, app developer Download Android.info has updated their Blink led notification app, adding a rainbow of color to your vanilla Android world. Many phones, like the Nexus One, contain a full color led but rely on white for most notifications. Boring, right? Blink, if you aren’t familiar, [...]

My friends, I have seen the beauty of Honeycomb (Android 3.0) and now there is nothing on the market today or in the next couple of months that can convince me to buy anything before the release of 3.0.  It is a smart and sexy design – this Honeycomb. I have been lusting for Gingerbread [...]

While CyanogenMOD CM6 for the T-Mobile myTouch 4G is still in the boiling pot being cooked and not available on the nightly mirror servers of teamdouche, I decided to install the nightly build released on XDA by Zinx Verituse and see how the first beta version is running.  For those of you who didn’t know, the T-Mobile myTouch 4G [...]

Hot off the massive two days of news, the updates are coming fast and furious.  Every time that a new SDK drops there is a slew of updated apps.  This time is no different.  The two Google updates tonight are Voice Search and YouTube (for Froyo Android 2.2 and higher).

Core-apps has put together an application called 2011 Consumer Electronic Show. It is also known as Follow Me and is the official application for the 2011 International CES, which will be held from January 6th – 9th, 2011.

Google maps updates it application tonight moving it to 4.7.0. This update brings you Rate places as you can see and a snazzy little on screen widget to help you “Rate Places” you are currently in. This is pretty nice really. A person can now search for say a restaurant and see what others have rated [...]

They already had it working on the My Touch 4G earlier today. It was only a matter of time before the G2 got some love too. Watching the twitter feed from @cmsrc there has been some activity with Froyo -Vision (G2). It is getting there. As it sits right now the only thing really missing [...]

With Android we sure don’t have a shortage of keyboard alternatives. There is Swype, HTC _IME, Samsung Keyboard, Better Keyboard and so many more. Although each keyboard offers its own unique twist on a must have classic, all of them are still standardized keyboards. Thumb Keyboard by Beansoft drastically changes the layout. With most devices the [...]

When I heard that the My Touch 3g was going to get a 2.2 OTA from T-Mobile, my very first thought was”Will this work on a G1?” I had my doubts but the more I thought about it the more I knew it should. Since the devices are so similar and most custom ROMs out [...]
