ZTE Merit/Avail/Z990/Z990G Developer Finally Emerges

That developer is me, I just had to write a title that will grab attention, or make it sound cool, Haha.

Anyways, For the longest time I've had this phone, and my Sony Ericsson Xperia x10 just sitting around, my Avail of course has a cracked digitizer, so touch doesn't work at all, but I ordered a replacement screen for it. I have seen many requests for people to port Jellybean to this phone, so that is exactly what I am doing. I am going to debloat it as much as I can, and kang the heck out of the rom. The phone has a Snapdragon S1, which we all know Cyanogenmod does not support 1st Gen chips anymore, but that doesn't mean development has to stop. This phone currently runs Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread, and I hear Kitkat is also making its way to many gingerbread devices, because Good Guy Google wants to update everyone up to at least 4.4.

With all of this being said, I can't wait for development to begin! I have already started the repos! and I would like to actually do more pay as you go phone Android developments, we shouldn't leave any man behind with Android!

I hope to also get my hands on a Samsung Galaxy Appeal (Ace q) and start cooking roms for it too!

Till next time, this has been Android Guru Guy; Dayton Thomas. Signing off.

Ryzen 7 1800X Overview, 1 Week in

Ryzen 7 1800X Overview, 1 Week in Ryzen 7 1800X Overview, 1 Week in The Ryzen family of AMD's processors are here, and they're great so far. So I got my hands on one finally, so this is my Ryzen 7 1800X Overview, 1 Week in. First Glance This is great, AMD has finally phased out the FM2 and AMD3 sockets! It has been WAY overdue, and finally a new board and alignment has hit the market. What this means is, there can be more transistors, and components put onto the chip, which means in return, better performance. It looks beautiful, in terms of it being just a component for a computer, which is just basically a cluster of a lot of components together, as one big machine! Specs The Ryzen 7 1800X comes stock with the core clock at 3.7GHz with 8 Cores, and 16 Threads. Also including 16MB of L3 Smart Cache. The core clock can also be turbo up to 4.0GHz with an unlocked motherboard. So far so good. Stock Performance With Cinebench R15 I got a nice score of 1

Playing with the Galaxy S2 SGH-I777

Playing with the Galaxy S2 SGH-I777 I had a generous person just give me a couple of Galaxy S2's and S3's, However I took immediate interest in the Galaxy S2's, and made one good one out of all the parts. The phone was still a virgin, and still on Gingerbread, thats what interested me so much about it, however that did not last very long. I updated it to the 4.1.2, rooted, and installed Carbon ROM. Very smooth, I could safely say I would rock this phone as a daily driver, if I did not have a newer phone. Is it sad that this phone is rather aging, but I still dig the design? I miss the full set of buttons on the bottom as well. The only thing I don't miss about these old LCD's is the burn ins that majority of the used S2's have, however this one is minimum. YAY! With that being said, What ROMs do you recommend for this good ol' boy? Leave your comments, questions, what have you......

First Ever Cyanogenmod Phone! Oppo N1

First Ever Cyanogenmod Phone! Oppo N1 I know what you're thinking if you're an Android Guru like myself. "My phone runs Cyanogenmod! So how is this the first one!?" Let me put it this way... Cyanogenmod actually will come on this phone as the Stock rom. Which phone is it I'm talking about you ask? Oppo N1! Oppo is a brand of cellular phones, and the N1 is the device. The Oppo N1 will be the first phone to ever come with Cyanogenmod out of the box. As there are 2 editions of the Oppo N1, Cyanogenmod Edition, and Color OS edition, If you happen to get a Color OS edition of the N1, you can head to Oppo's site and download Cyanogenmod for this phone. This Cyanogenmod does not disable the features of any sort on this device. Why the word of features? This phone has 37 Patents all by its lonesome self. O-Click is a little remote that you can click to take a picture without even touching your phone! O-Touch is the back panel of the phone,
