There’s nothing quite like getting a new version of Android for a device. Of course, that means that developers go back to the drawing board with a new base to work with to re-release their ROMs on the new version of Android. This would be the case for HTC Desire S, which now has a firs taste of the latest version of ICS. XDA Recognized Developer mdeejay, along with the Virtuous Dev Team, has released VirtuousSaga, first custom ROM with Android 4.0.4. While 4.0.4 only offers iterative changes over its ICS predecessors, this is the first custom ROM to be . . . READ ON »
It was bound to happen sooner or later. With the Asus release of the unlocker tool for the TF300T, everyone could probably guess that development on the modest, yet still awesome tablet would start picking up, as developers now have no obstacles blocking their path. And now thanks to the official release of experimental CyanogenMod 9 builds, Asus Transformer TF300T owners now have access to the popular AOSP-derived, multi-device aftermarket firmware.
XDA Recognized Developer XpLoDWilD of Team Hacksung has released an experimental build of the popular ROM for users to try out. And frankly, for a ROM labeled as . . . READ ON »
With users becoming more and more comfortable with the Iconia A500 root and bootloader unlocking processes, it was only a matter of time before development hit a new level and things really started taking off.

Have you ever found yourself at your PC without your phone at hand, only to later realize that you’ve missed an important call or text? Perhaps you’re just too lazy to get up and grab your device—or maybe, that’s just me. In any case, it would be great if you could receive all the notifications from your device straight to the desktop on your PC. And it would be even better if you could also respond without actually having the device in hand. Well, now you can.
XDA member greenday123 has developed DeskNotifier to allow you do just that—have your . . . READ ON »
Sometimes, applying tweaks to an Android device can be a pain. With a plethora of installation methods from flashing via recovery and manual build.prop editing to activating scripts via ADB or the Terminal Emulator, finding a tweak and using it can be cumbersome for some. Additionally, once you start going on the admittedly addictive frenzy of putting scripts, tweaks and mods on your device, it’s hard to remember which ones you even installed sometimes. For those carrying the International Galaxy Note, there’s an app looking to solve all of these problems and more.

Phone screen sizes are growing, from the 4.3″ screen of the Galaxy S II i9100 to the 5.3″ panel of the Galaxy Note—and yet it would seem the feature sets are still split between tablets and phones. Google unified the source code for tablets and phones with Ice Cream Sandwich, but the OS is still presented differently depending on the device. XDA Senior Member molesarecoming thought that since the core OS is the same, why couldn’t the features be there as well?
After a lot of searching and testing, molesarecoming found an Android feature which he called “Per App . . . READ ON »

The EVO 4G LTE has only been in users’ hands a few hours, and there is already a root method.

We’ve been closely monitoring the growing patent dispute between tech titans Google and Oracle from various perspectives. Fans of Google’s mobile OS can now breathe a little easier as Google has officially triumphed, with a jury dismissing most of the charges against the company. In dispute were two patents that Oracle claims Google infringed upon involving core Java API’s. Even though the jury found that Google infringed on the patents, they were not unanimous on the matter of fair use. Therefore, all but two of the charges were dismissed, with Google paying a predetermined fine for each of them.

Change logs are definitely one of the most important parts of any release. Be it an app, ROM, kernel, mod, tweak, script, you name it; releasing a change log with each new release allows users to see what you’ve changed, fixed, added, and subtracted from prior versions. Often, it’s the very first developer-to-user interaction, and a well thought out change log can ease the minds of the cautious and give users compelling reason to upgrade. Fans of CyanogenMod nightlies probably know the value of the change logs even more so than most other ORDers, as they receive substantial updates rather . . . READ ON »

To that end, XDA Senior Member grankin01 has come up with an easy-to-follow guide that will take you through the steps required to obtain HTCDev unlock on your AT&T One X.
The gist of the workaround is that you first dump an image of . . . READ ON »
