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...

HTC One, US Carriers, to Receive 4.4 Kitkat Update!

HTC One, US Carriers, to Receive 4.4 Kitkat Update! The HTC one, the ONE HIT WONDER Android Phone of 2013 will be receiving Android 4.4 Kitkat. This is great news because 4.4 is the newest Android Operating system version out there (for those of you who did not know) and so with Kitkat, this phone will be good as new again! The HTC One recently has gotten Sense 5, will this Kitkat rom be bare, or have Sense... 6?? Who knows. Exciting as that is, when all phones finally get 4.4, I'm sure Android will have something new out like 4.6 or 5.1 I don't know, they seem to move very fast, but at least you're able to get the Operating system upgrades via Cyanogenmod. HTC One has the Beats audio built in, and with root on your own device you're able to get ahold of the beats audio mod engine (How cool?) It would be really good to have an HTC One, with Stock Google Android, but I doubt HTC would let that happen through OTA updates (Over The Air) Android Guru Guy; Dayto...
