It’s a rite of passage for just about every major Android device, the capability that separates Android from lesser platforms (which will remain nameless here). And now the much-delayed HTC EVO 4G LTE, in all its acronymical glory, has root capabilities. You can send your thank-you notes to XDA Developers member ZedonMax, who posted the exploit …
If you were dazzled by Samsung’s S-Voice from the Galaxy S III in the day or so before they blocked access to the operating servers… then you’re probably easily impressed. But for the three of you who have Android 4.0 devices and really, really want a shameless Siri clone, “ithehappy” over at XDA has created …
If you flash as many ROMs as we do, you know it’s a pain to set up everything juuuust the way you like it. Apps like Titanium Backup can help, but these usually aren’t meant for the ROM itself. If you’re currently rocking Android Open Kang Project (like me!) you can now save a little …
Well that didn’t take long. The Samsung Galaxy S III, would-be king of smartphones and not due to release in any market for a week and a half, has already been rooted. Noted XDA member Chainfire posted the steps that he took to root a stock Galaxy S III – without saying exactly how he …
Ah, root. It’s a sort of coming-of-age test for an Android device, in that brief (and sometimes nonexistent) gap between a phone’s retail release and the point at which the modder community beats it into software submission. The time has come for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, the mild refresh to one of the most successful 10-inch …
On Android, file managers are a dime a dozen – in fact, considering that most of them are free, they’re considerably cheaper than that. But how about when you enter your custom recovery for a little ROM flashing action, and you’ve forgotten where your file os, or you’re using the wrong SD card, et cetera? …
If you got your hands on a sweet $250 Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, it’s time to start diving into that code. Samsung has just posted the open source code not only for the 7-inch model of the Galaxy Tab 2, but the delayed 10-inch version as well. Of course having the source code will help …
Why would you combine an Android tablet, an Arduino board, a keg of beer and a tap? If you asked Google employee Paul Cariff, he’d probably retort with, “Why not?” His latest masterpiece, the KegDroid, uses a Motorola XOOM connected with a tiny electronic controller to both secure and properly dispense what made Milwaukee famous. Naturally, …
If you’re a prolific ROM flasher and you’ve got a Galaxy Nexus or another recent Android device, odds are pretty good that you’ve at least tried Android Open Kang Project (AOKP), one of the fastest-growing family of custom ROMs out there. The project has released over 30 builds since its inception late last year, and is …
Sony’s flagship has been available to international users for a few weeks now, but no Android superphone is complete without a port of the most popular custom ROM out there, CyanogenMod. The Xperia S now has CM9 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and ClockworkMod recovery courtesy of the clever devs over at XDA. If you’re feeling adventurous and you …
