A Warm "Welcome Back" to Rom Manager.

A Warm "Welcome Back" to Rom Manager.

First off if you don't know what Rom Manager is, Head on over to "What is Rom Manager?"
Rom manager was pulled from Google Play Store December, 19th. Google Cited a part of their terms, and the violations that Koush (the Rom manager developer) had crossed.
Koush had gotten back to google very shortly after to resolve the issue.
Apparently something had gone miraculously wrong with the way the free version and paid version were, there really isn't a huge difference in between premium, and free thats why we all love Rom Manager to begin with. The misunderstanding had Rom Manager missed for 3 days approximately.

It really gets me how they waited for so long to pull the app package from the store, while there are clearly apps out there scamming people out of their money with clearly no reason. Here is a snip of Koush's E-Mails back and forth with Google.


What you can gather from this, Someone either really doesn't like Koush, or the fact that Koush encourages rooting, and re-installing Android, but most of Google actually speaks of Root, and more-ly encouraged it as well, because well, We do own our phones, and mobile devices, so we should be able to do what we want with them, and Google usually loves to see people grow with information, and education.
All I can say is I'm very happy to announce that Rom Manager is indeed back on the play store, & even if it was not, I'm sure we could still find ways to support Koush on his project.

Samsung Galaxy S3 Google Play Edition (USA Versions)

Samsung Galaxy S3 Google Play Edition (USA Versions) I'm excited to bring you this news today, Galaxy S3 users can now download the Google Play Edition of Android (As close as you will get to it) only on USA Versions as of right now. It all started when I got inspired by the sunbeam live wallpaper (How loco?). I decided to disect a Cyanogenmod Rom, first I started with AOKP, but was not satisfied by all the more options. Options are never a bad thing, but when you start with a 4.4.2 Nightly build of AOKP, You don't know where the heck the lockscreen settings are, or in fact I don't think it added any options for the lockscreen ring. They are still working on it, the rom is pretty crystal clear, and pure right now as it is. I decided to revise. I turned to the CM10.2 version, and started to play with it, luckily I soon got all the Google Apps installed correctly with no problem, and now I'm working on a revised build of the 4.4.2 Google Play Edition. I know just...

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 scor...

HTC Sense 7 LEAKED SCREENSHOTS!!!

HTC Sense 7 LEAKED SCREENSHOTS!!! Android "L" or Lollipop, also known as 5.0 is coming soon, well that means an all new Sense is on its way too of course! If you look at the above images you can definitely see how influenced Sense 7 is by Android L. Android 5, L is basically all themed on flat, but vibrant colors. This teal is one color option, but it's very nicely displayed by HTC Sense 7. I'm for sure the HTC One M8, as well as a lot of other HTC devices will be getting this Sense 7 update in the nearing future. There is also talk on a All new HTC Desire coming soon, will it be shipped stock with Sense 7, Android 5, L? I guess its a waiting game for HTC Fanboys. HTC has been on their game here lately with the slickness, and beauty of devices. I got a chance to play around with the HTC One M8 a little bit, and have to say I liked it very much, then the iPhone 6 came out, and I wondered if they were trying to copy some of the style? Get your own style...
