Sony Xperia devices have been seeing a steady roll out of Ice Cream Sandwich for the most part, and I’m sure customers have been enjoying it quite a bit. But while development has been moving along, AOKP has been missing from Xperia phones. The KangXperiaProject group saw that, and brought AOKP to 16 Xperia phones. That’s a massive amount of phones to… Read more
For those of you who didn’t know, whenever you plug headphones into the Verizon Galaxy S III, you get what you see in the screenshot. A giant notification saying “Earphones connected to the device” and a seemingly random list of apps that are earphone compatible. From the screenshot, it seems to work really badly. Google Talk is in there… doesn’t seem… Read more
Love Dead Trigger? I do. It’s a fantastic game with graphics that look like they’re straight from a console. But you don’t have a Tegra 3 device, do you? You’re left envying Tegra 3 owners, not because they have better devices (the Tegra 3 isn’t the best), but because they get such amazing game support. Why do they get better graphics in Dead Trigger… Read more
If you have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III, you know what I’m talking about. We’re not just talking about a something in the notification bar or the drop down, it’s a pop-up letting you know there is WiFi available in the area. Sounds harmless, and we know that it saves battery to be on WiFi versus not. Also with these new shared plans it may be… Read more
Apparently, Google Play Movies has been allowing rooted users to play movies on their devices since Google I/O. If you are not aware, neither movies nor books worked on rooted devices previously. I don’t know what Google has done to get rid of the risk of people stealing the movies (I hope it’s not a bad form of DRM, though some minor DRM would be fine… Read more
The Samsung Galaxy S III on Verizon has finally been rooted, putting unpleasant thoughts of a locked bootloader on the backburner, temporarily. A member over at RootzWiki by the name of InvisibleK has managed to build an entire rooted system image on top of an existing Clockwork Mod recovery specifically for the Verizon variant. While it’s not… Read more
The ability for a rooted HTC EVO 4G LTE to be used as a WiFi hotspot without being charged by Sprint is something its been able to do basically since it’s been rooted. If your EVO LTE is rooted, you can just download Wifi Tether for Root Users from the Google Play Store and your set as long as you use the Generic ICS Device-Profile. However,… Read more

Today HTC has given developers some treats by releasing the source code for the HTC One S kernel. Head over to the HTC Dev center and you can download it yourself. Keep in mind that it is categorized by region and carrier. While this is a bit of good news, the bad news is that the T-Mobile version of the One S has been left out. The same thing also… Read more
I have been an avid webOS fan for quite a while, even purchasing an HP Veer 4G off contract on eBay. In my opinion, webOS is one of the best mobile operating systems ever made, and definitely does multitasking better than either iOS or Android. webOS is built for efficiency, beauty, and ease of use. The gestures are natural, the UI is smooth and… Read more
