While many might scoff at the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G, some were drawn to it. Probably just the 4G in the title or the attractive price point. For those of you that snagged one and aren’t looking for the latest greatest device, at least you now have root and ClockworkMOD recovery available. The method is a pretty simple [...]
When you have an app on the market that is used by nearly all Android users that need to root, you have to keep it maintained and adapting. That is exactly what Koushik Dutta, Koush, has been doing. Recently he released the new touch based version of ClockworkMOD for the Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S and [...]
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 [...]
In a bit of news that’s sure to make Motorola cringe, it looks as though their not-so-root-friendly DROID RAZR has been successfully cracked and ClockworkMod Recovery can now be installed on Verizon’s slimmest Android phone. Not long after the RAZR was released, root was obtained using a fairly simple process, but it didn’t do much [...]
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. [...]
More and more developers are jumping on the Gingerbread wave. Each dev has his or her own preferences as to what apps are included in the ROM they build. We can’t complain about it, we are grateful for their work and for sharing. Not every app a dev builds into their ROM is a necessity [...]
Krylon360 over at RootzWiki.com found the Official Gingerbread build for the Samsung Galaxy S 4G by T-Mobile. The past few weeks, we have been seeing a few leaks for the device, but nothing that has come over Samsung Kies Mini. Here is what Krylon360 has to say about it. “I bring to you, The Official [...]
What a shocker! Not really, we all knew tethering with out paying an arm and a leg from the carrier for a standard feature was starting to get noticed in a bad way. With the latest update for the Nexus S from Sprint, they have managed to kill that functionality and require you to get [...]
No this is not themed out to be Ice Cream Sandwich. This is just a fun theme that was recently posted in XDA for the Galaxy S I9000. It should work on the Vibrant and Captivate as well, but the dev has not tested them yet. A lot of time and effort went into certain [...]
Many of you know who @Koush is, he is the mind behind ClockworkMOD recovery. We all know with out his hard work and dedication to Android many of the phones we use today might still be in a state of stock. I know I appreciate his work immensely. He has recently been working on a [...]
I have personally been running CM7 Nightlies for quite sometime and prior to that, I never really cared to much about WiFi calling myself. I guess I’m not important enough to talk on my phone that much. :0) I do know, however, that you guys might or do. So when I saw this listed [...]
Today, Developer Krylon360 gave the Sidekick4G community a present they have all been waiting for. As seen from the image above, ClockworkModRecovery is now fully working on the Sidekick4G. As an added bonus, Krylon360 has made it compatible with both EXT4 and RFS filesystems. Now keep in mind, this was all done “blindly” [...]
I like to believe a devices life doesn’t truly begin until they get ROM Manager support for flashing recoveries, ROMs and making backups as this is when you can (easily) start making your device your own. Today is that day for Galaxy S 4G and Galaxy Tab 10.1 owners as the tweet below says it all. Of course you know that this mean [...]
Everyones favorite ROM management and recovery tool has received an update today. The update brings ROM Manager to version 4.2.2.0 and fixes a bug which wasn’t allowing images to be cleaned up. Additionally preparations are also being made for in-app billing. What’s in this version: Fix ROM Manager never cleaning up images. Prepare to switch [...]
I haven’t played with the T-Mobile Sidekick 4G as it’s never really appealed to me, but I guess when you look at it, it’s actually a pretty powerful Samsung Android phone. I received an email from ayOteddy who is looking for help and wants to know if the developers will help out and get SideKick 4G development [...]
