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.

What is Android?

What is Android? Android is a Free Open Source Operating system, mostly seen on mobile devices these days such as smart phones, tablets, and is the base Operating system behind the Kindle fire, & Nook Color. It is safe to say Android is built upon Linux. When you hear of "Linux" you think of Ubuntu immediately if you're a novice, or "noob" with the Linux operating system. Well though Ubuntu is built upon Linux, and is commonly used on any machine using it, but it isn't what linux is. Linux is basically a terminal/operating system like you would say DOS is. Linux is basically a Unix clone, which is what Mac OS X is built upon. Linux is free, and if you ever payed for it, demand a refund, but don't get yourself in danger over it! (lol) So from this, we know Linux is just basically the background software, which runs all the commands it needs to, to give you a functioning GUI (Graphical User Interface) for easier ways to use ...

LikeWise S6? Will it be a Thing?

LikeWise S6? Will it be a Thing? Hopefully! I mean its very possible, for the Galaxy S3, and S4. I have not gotten ahold of a Galaxy S5 yet (Send me one I'll do it, thanks!) What this will consist of, again is bringing the look, the UI, and just the smoothness of the device to your older Galaxy device. Which is a new life for the older gen devices right? LikeWise S5 was such a huge hit for the Galaxy S3, I would love to participate in a new ROM, aside from my LG G2 work. Anyways I really want to do this! and I will! for any device I can, if you want to donate a device to me, for any development, I will definitely follow up on your wishes! Thanks everyone for reading this short :) AndroidGuruGuy

LG G2 AT&T (D800) Cyanogenmod Semi-Nightlies

LG G2 AT&T (D800) Cyanogenmod Semi-Nightlies I am currently releasing the D801 (T-Mobile LG G2) Builds for the D800. Basically, I am taking the D801 CM12 Nightlies ever so often, and modifying the kernel for AT&T G2 Devices. I will be releasing these every 5-10 days, until the official CM12 Nightlies start coming in for the D800, which shouldn't be too far along.  Everything seems to work so far, last week I had a build that didn't have the Display & Lights option working, but on the Feb. 21st build, it is successfully working flawlessly. Comments below, or on the XDA Thread will be helpful, also reporting to CM the issues because chances are, if you're having a bug, the T-Mobile users are too. This is version 5.0.2, and will be updated from time to time! Working: Everything I see so far. Not Working: Nothing, The Display and Lights option crash was fixed.
