Growing up in suburbia, I often played tabletop games with my family. One game of particular fondness in my household was Jynga. As an adult, I often wonder what it would be like play on a cell phone. Thanks to XDA Member kingofmyworld324 I’ve had that opportunity.
Called Topplez, kingofmyworld324 has taken the original wooden game and made it available with 3D graphics on WP7-based devices. What’s more, he’s taken things up a notch with:
Classic mode has you take blocks from the bottom and place them on top to make the tower as tall as possible in the shortest

One of the worst things on certain budget-friendly smartphones is not having quite enough RAM. This normally isn’t a big deal for many users who use their phone for the practical purposes of calling people, sending texts, and checking email. However for people who do a lot more with their devices such as gaming and heavy app usage, the shortage of RAM may be a bit more limiting. Running out of RAM can cause a lot of problems such as app crashes and large-scale lag.
While you would have a hard time physically soldering on more RAM, users of the . . . READ ON »
Does having to re-input certain APN settings after a wipe or ROM flash drive you nuts? Thanks to XDA Senior Member CarpeNoctem, this is now a problem of the past. APN Generator allows the user to generate an XML backup containing all APN data. After this, you can easily export your data, as well as import your data after a ROM flash or full wipe.
CarpeNoctem is also compiling a database of all known APN settings. However, the database is not yet complete and probably will always be a work-in-progress. For those interested in helping to compile this list, . . . READ ON »
For many Android fans who have been around the site for awhile, especially for flashaholics, you may have heard of wipe scripts. If you have not, many devices have a script somewhere that, when flashed in a recovery, will wipe your data, cache, dalvik-cache and system partitions for you so you don’t have to traverse the various menus to do it yourself. They are extremely convenient, and many flashers keep one in their flash folder to prepare for the next flash. In the recent past, users have been coming up with more effective and complete ways of removing old ROM . . . READ ON »
With all the development going on with the Samsung Galaxy S III, it’s hard to believe that the phone hasn’t actually been released yet. Thus far, the device has been rooted, its launcher was ported to the Galaxy S II, and it even brought some controversy over the extraction and modification of S Voice. However, if you think the Galaxy S III stuff is over, you are gravely mistaken, as the porting fun has just begun.
Now, the Galaxy S III goods are hitting the Samsung Galaxy Nexus in the form of a giant add-on pack that . . . READ ON »
With the resurgence of HTC development around XDA due in no small part to S-Off being achieved, HTC devices are enjoying more freedom and users are having more fun than they have in a long time. With some devices already getting their rounds of SuperCID, it was only a matter of time before newer HTC devices got the same. And now for users of the AT&T and Rogers HTC One X, you can now share in the SuperCID glory.
For those who are unfamiliar, SuperCID gives you some pretty fun freedoms—not the smallest of which is being . . . READ ON »
Sometimes a simple game is all it takes to keep you entertained for hours. XDA Forum Member Angel_666 offers an interesting game with Falldown Unlimited. Using the Unity 3D engine as a base for development and your device’s accelerometer for control, Falldown Unlimited is simple, yet addicting. Tilting your device directs your cube into the hole in the platform, and onto the next platform, repeating the cycle.
The graphics are quite unique, and the 3D-like playing field is nicely laid out. The graphics do no disappoint, thanks to the highly optimized Unity 3D platform, which has given rise to . . . READ ON »

Finally, Jordan mentions our new Pro Tip video on . . . READ ON »
Running an OS meant for a traditional computer on an Android phone is always an interesting experience. As such, most devices—even older ones—are given the option to load Linux at some point. This is the case for the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8, as it can now run Debian, and quite well, at that.
XDA Senior Member fotak-x posted the guide that not only includes instructions, but also download links for the files required and a Debian package that actually works on the aging X8. The process isn’t overly complicated either. With the simple instructions, users really only need a custom . . . READ ON »
Last year, we wrote about Windows Phone 7 finally getting a registry editor. Now the next generation of registry editors for the platform has arrived, thanks to XDA Senior Member Nickg. Called WinTT, the application is designed to save the user the hassle of having to manually edit the phone’s registry. According to the developer:
This application allows to apply a registry tweak more quickly and more easily than the traditional editing method, also giving the possibility to restore the value and reboot the system from the app.
WinTT works on all interop unlocked phone with WP7 Root Tools, . . . READ ON »
Many Android phones have random and silly bugs—nothing serious, mind you, but things that can often be annoying. One such bug is the receiving a low storage warning when you have plenty of storage space left. While it may seem like a minor inconvenience, your Android device believing it has no space left can prevent you from doing a lot of things such as downloading new apps from the Google Play Store. This is a problem that has apparently plagued Samsung Galaxy S I9000 users for awhile. Now, there’s a fix.
While the issue has been resolved in the past, . . . READ ON »
One of the most frustrating things when owning a phone as powerful as the HTC One X is playing a game the phone should be able to handle with ease, and ending up with nothing but lag. The experience, while frustrating, is one phone users know all too well, as this can even happen to dual core devices. While mobile phones aren’t bought primarily as gaming consoles, that doesn’t mean people don’t want them to act like one sometimes.
Thankfully, there’s a fix. XDA Recognized Contributor hamdir has written up a tutorial for users to explain why the One X . . . READ ON »
