Sprint and HTC Giving Away Official TPU Cases Along with the EVO 4G LTE and a ‘Sorry’ Letter
All of this excitement over Android getting ported to the HP TouchPad has gotten a little out of hand, but considering the low, low price for the webOS-powered tablet, it's not too surprising. After the initial fire sale from HP, people clamoring to get their hands on a TouchPad seem wholly interested in making sure that they get a nice tablet to tinker with. For one... Read more »
It looks like the fire to get Android on the HP TouchPad has just become a bit hotter. We reported yesterday that some folks out in the wild were very interested in porting Android over to the HP TouchPad, especially after its $100 fire sale for the 16GB version of the tablet. And while many people are interested in getting their hands on that particular tablet with... Read more »
When the LG G-Slate launched on T-Mobile's network, it was lauded as one of the best Android-powered tablets out there. Since then, plenty of other devices have launched, and up until about a few days ago, the G-Slate was already outdated against the competition when it came to mobile OS version number. But, LG is starting to fix that with the company's newest Over... Read more »
Back at the beginning of June, HTC let it be known to the world that they would be opening the gates to those who love to tinker with their HTC-manufactured phones. Specifically, the company would be allowing those who want it, the ability to get their hands on kernel source codes right from the source, as well as plenty of other tools that would be made available in...

Begin update: Michael was kind enough to share a link in the comments to the XDA thread with the appropriate downloads and information to get your G2 headed down the fast lane. There's also some proper screen shots and the same video that you'll find below. The usual "only you are responsible for what you do to your device" disclaimer applies. End... Read more »
EDIT: This video is by LincKraker. I posted earlier today about a cooked ROM for hacked Moments that was rocking 2.1. I still can't fully endorse it because I don't have a Moment on hand, but here's a video of a phone that was hacked using the process followed in that same thread. As always, embarking on this journey is done at your own risk, but I would like to... Read more »
I realize that dabbling with cooked ROMs is an at-your-own-risk type of business, but there are a few big names out there that we all know we can trust - Cyanogen, MoDaCo, a bunch of other folks who post over at xda-developers... Flashing ROMs released by these cats is a pretty safe endeavor. But what do you do when tempted by someone who appears to be a relative... Read more »
A lot of you probably caught the news yesterday that gIMpSTa over at xda-developers released themed versions of the HTC IME (virtual QWERTY) for root users that can be flashed, as a zip, from recovery mode or be applied via the MetaMorph app (free and $1.00 donation versions available), which allows you to cherry pick elements from various themes and apply them...

I don't follow the cooking community closely enough to know about every ROM that's released, and definitely not closely enough to know about each hack included, but I stumbled across a couple of things today that I thought were worth mentioning. One is the video after the break, which features a Nexus One with some hacked-in settings that allow the user to change the... Read more »
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 »
