Unlocking, rooting, and recovery for the Nexus S

Although the Nexus S has been available on the market now for over a year, it’s actually a bit confusing for first time users to unlock and root the device. Give it a try, do a search and try and find the right adb and fastboot drivers for Windows 7 64-bit. I’m willing to bet…




[MOD] Volume Wake for Bulletproof 1.4 Rom

One of my favorite roms on the Sensation 4G is Bulletproof 1.4, based on Sense 3.0. It has the right mix of tweaks and mods to make it smooth and quick in the heavily populated world of S4G roms. However, one thing that was missing from the rom is the ability to wake the phone…

The latest Cyanogenmod (CM) 7 Nightlies have added a few notable updates to the latest builds. One of the more requested ones (at least for me) is the battery percentage in the status bar. This was available in CM6, but CM7 had some previous problems in getting this done, but that has been overcome with…

If you are into gaming and emulators, multi-touch can be enabled to allow 2-5 simultaneous presses. My current favorite is chad0989’s Incredikernel. You can also try HeyItsLou’s version or invisiblek’s version. Just keep in mind that some are…




Rooting the Viewsonic Gtablet

Viewsonic recently released the Gtablet to the masses at the $399 pricepoint. With a dual core Tegra cpu, 512MB of ram and 10″ of screen real estate, this tablet has a lot going for it. However, right out of the box it is probably by far the worse OS and/or UI I have ever used….




Simply Stunning 4.7 Rom released

ChevyNo1 has released Simply Stunning 4.7 with a bag full of goodies. 1. Screen lag on any of the launchers should be improved! That being said – I really do recomment another launcher. I’m partial to ADW – ADW.Launcher v1.0.1 standalone Application for Android | Productivity, VERY small memory footprint. It is also now an…
