Sprint and HTC Giving Away Official TPU Cases Along with the EVO 4G LTE and a ‘Sorry’ Letter
Hacks
Nexus One rooted. Wait, what?
That's right, folks. Well-known hacker stericson offers up the image below, as seen in a MoDaCo forum thread. And check out a quote from another poster on the simplicity of the hack for end users: Superboot is a boot.img that when flashed, will root your device the first time you boot (installing su and the superuser APK). No need to flash the system partition,... Read more » Hero 1.5 ROM for Cliq coming soon?
It seems like we're covering a lot of geeky hacks and mods lately, but that happens to be where some of the most exciting Android news is going down at the moment. But have no fear, I'm sure to return from CES in a week-and-a-half with all sorts of juicy on the new handsets. Until then, we've got plenty of rumors, buzz, and clever ways of getting more out of... Read more » Darkstar Theme Review
Hey everyone, In the video below, I review the Darkstar theme made by FreekyFroggy. It is, in my opinion, the best theme out right now. Here's the link to download it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589409 -Carlos... Read more » Vid: Espresso ROM running on GSM Hero
At the beginning of the month, an Android hacker discovered a load of HTC codenames buried in a ROM. And though Espresso didn't turn up in the following week's leak - an HTC roadmap replete with device photos - we did get a look at the handset's profile. Espresso is the Sense-equipped follow-up to HTC's ground-breaking Hero. This time around, it will have a... Read more » Back up and restore everything with SwitchROM
Hey everyone, Here's a little tutorial on SwitchROM. It is basically just a script that backs up an entire ROM with apps and whatnot. It is really helpful if you are a person who likes to flash a lot of ROMs (like I am). Enjoy (at your own risk)... Read more » Motorola Cliq rooted, waiting on ROMs
A well-known ROM cooker called The Dude has rooted the Cliq but don't go rushing into ADB thinking you'll be flashing Cyanogen's latest. This will give you root and the ability to run root required apps but no suitable ROMs are available just yet. The process does require a wipe but MotoBlur takes care of restoring a lot of your settings if you have the proper... Read more » Cyanogen+Dwang=SuperD ROM (Review + Install)
For those of you who are into Android hacking, this video by Carlos Graves (Twitter link) about the SuperD ROM by Cyanogen and Dwang is required viewing. Carlos is on top of what's going on in the world of Android - above and below the surface - and I'm happy to say that he will be making more videos for DroidDog before too long. Stay tuned to see what else he has in... Read more » Make use of Windows Mobile: Install Android
That was a difficult joke to avoid. I won't be at all surprized if three other blog posts with the same title are in progress. After all, the source of this post is a site called makeuseof.com. And while they seem to offer generally practical advice for getting the most out of all sorts of technology, it was a funny page to land on (cont.): Anyhoo, tragically,... Read more » Goofy “virtual reality” goggles may foreshadow… something
Check out what this dude has done with an HTC Magic, a box, some imagination, time, and his hopes and dreams for a better future. Lulz. No, it's not very practical, but I think Rob from Phandroid nailed it when he said "don’t be fooled and think this is 100% dumb." The goggle guy - Andrew Lim from Recombu.com - reminds me of Johnny Lee, who used Wii controlers to... Read more »
