Promises are promises. In the past, promises from manufactures didn’t mean squat. Take Motorola for example, they were supposed to unlock things a LONG time ago.

Oh that dreaded bloatware. Us die hard Android users hate seeing the carrier smear their apps all over the app drawer. Apps we do not care about, nor do we need. Rooting the device and getting a ROM that does not have any bloatware is the nice luxury that us Android users have. Now there are certain [...]

Bloatware is not something that any Android user is a fan of. Many of the apps that are pre-installed on your device at the time of purchase can drain battery, cause slowness and eat up free space. As a user you don’t have much of a choice but to keep it on your device. They [...]

HTC made a promise to the developers, the community and to the consumers. They said they would unlock as many bootloaders as humanly possible for as many devices as they could.

Xoot, Xoot, Xoot. Isn’t that a cool word to say. I like it better than the Xoom. Since Motorola is so insistent on naming their tablets crazy outlandish names, why shouldn’t a tool that helps you root your tablet be anything less than crazy too. XDA member epic118 has just released his root tool for all you Xoom owners out there. [...]
