Yes it is true, HTC One S-Off has been achieved (for real this time). I know the last time this story was brought forth, it was done via a different method. Now, you get it straight from the big guys over at Revolutionary. Now HTC One users can REALLY rejoice. But Don’t rejoice too hard, though....

Looks like an idea that has been floating around the heads of XDA, is now going to be a reality. The idea is for XDA to have their very own conference for developers, and they are pleased to inform us that this conference will happen on August 9th to the 11th. At this conference, developers will be...

Android is a wonderful OS that we are all passionate about. We know your favorite aspect about Android is the customization. It is one thing that you can always count on. Be it a new home replacement app, new icons, themes or just a simple change to how your battery looks. Themes are one of the more...

For those curious android users who love to root their devices and install custom kernels; haven’t you wanted to know what goes in to building ROM? You find the theme given by various Launchers not that friendly, and often think you can have done better with the design or the logos.  To promote...

One needs to go through a huge process before rooting android devices, it needs time and tests your patience. But now if you wish to root your friend’s device, you just need to plug in your rooted device with their un-rooted device and escape the huge process without touching the computer. XDA forum...

  Breakout the pitchforks and torches.  In light of the recent Nexus 4 shipping fiasco, XDA member munchy_cool, has started a petition to address the matter. I know what your thinking, not another petition. Normally I would agree, but seeing I am waiting for an email as well, I’ll be...

There is a good, a bad and an ugly side to Android. Well, to every operating system out there really. One thing that drives me nuts, and something that some users don’t even know, is how the image thumbnails are stored. These are those auto generated small sample of your pictures you see when you...

I know many of you have been checking for updates on your Google Nexus S through out the week hoping and praying that the Jelly Bean OTA from Google would magically appear on your device. Well, at least all of you on a GSM version. We have seen a few talks of the update landing in Pakistan and Asia...

We all love our Android devices. We love their screens, the memory, the Play Store, apps, games and so much more. There is however one thing that nearly every Android user out there hates though. That is the persistent filling of the app drawer, home screen and memory from the carriers thinking they...

We know you are just as eager to get your hands on Google Now as we are. We have been following the progress and the development of this amazing service from Google for the last few days and see some great progress, but still much more work to be done. Not that many of you care, you will give anything...

Until I got my hands on a stable Ice Cream Sandwich build, MIUI was my default ROM of choice. It offers so much customization and the battery life was always stellar. I miss it at times, but I just can’t pull away from ICS. Some of you aren’t fortunate enough to have ICS on your device though....

 Porting and modding various applications to different devices is nothing new. Live wallpapers are usually the first to be pulled and offered. Right alongside launchers and various other apps that might be new on a new device. It should come as no surprise then that a chunk of apps, UI elements and...

While everyone sits around impatiently waiting for Samsung to get an Ice Cream Sandwich update to the AT&T Galaxy Note, others are taking steps to enhance what you already have in your hands. XDA member lactardjosh  has taken a simple approach, not creating a glitch ridden ICS ROM to your hands,...

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. This issue is less present when working with a device that already has a support Android version. In the case of a new addition, like...

The development community is pretty on point to hack and slash their way into devices so that we can truly enjoy them. Some devices are harder to crack than others. While many of the main stream devices receive the root treatment before they ever even launch. After many many painstaking hours of hackery, vdsirotkin...
