ZTE Merit/Avail/Z990/Z990G Developer Finally Emerges

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 scor...

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 10 IS A VERY SERIOUS DEVICE

HTC 10 IS A VERY SERIOUS DEVICE HTC 10 IS A VERY SERIOUS DEVICE So I have been recently checking out the Newborn HTC Baby, the HTC 10. It looks a lot like the A9 in the front, but a M9 in the back, sort of? The HTC 10 is a very serious device.. I really like this device to start off, especially how HTC brought back the stealth black color option, that really makes my day, because with my M8 I had to replace the metal housing with a stealth black 3rd party part, because the Gunmetal Grey wasn't enough for me.. However that is definitely not the case here. LET'S get into the specifications here! Yeah the hardware! This baby rocks a quad core (2 Dual core processors) Dual-core 2.15 GHz Kryo & dual-core 1.6 GHz Kryo This is on the Snapdragon 820 Chipset, and to help it along has 4GB of RAM, or Memory. This is a 5.2" Screen, using a newer technology the Super LCD5 under a coating of Gorilla Glass 4. The OS We're running here is Android 6.0.1 Marsh...
