This is What Android Should Have Been

Us computer savvy people know what Ubuntu is. For those who don't know, Ubuntu is a computer operating system (OS) that is derived from the Linux environment. Like Android OS, its solely free and open sourced.

Now the good news is that, wait for it... Ubuntu is in the works of making their very own smart phones in the coming year. So basically, as early as Q4 2013 or Q1 2014, you can expect to see smart phones running the Ubuntu operating system at a store/shelf near you.

AOKP Rebirth for Nexus Devices

Installing A Custom Kernel on A Nexus Device

We all know that it is great to have an Android phone that is rooted, with a custom recovery and a custom ROM, especially with that of Nexi devices as the Android developmental scene is huge. However, have we ever shown appreciation for having a custom kernel included in our phones? Perhaps we have, and perhaps we have not.

The custom kernel I will be installing on my Nexus 4 device is no other than Mr. Franco's kernel. I am sure some of us may or may not have heard of Mr. Franco or his kernels, but all I can say is that he works for Google at Mountain View, CA.

Its Great To Be Back Here Again!

Good Afternoon Folks,

I know that it has been a while since I have last been on here, but due to various personal reasons, I could not dedicate the time. Going forward I shall now do so. 

That being said, this blog is converging into an Android Development Blog, particularly the Nexi devices: Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10. Maybe we can include the Nexus S in here as well. 

So once again my further apologies.

Rogers Releases the HTC Jetstream LTE Tablet

So we all know that Bell and Rogers have both come out with LTE in their respective markets, mainly focusing on populous areas such as cities and its partial suburbs. For those of you who may not know, LTE means Long Term Evolution, basically instead of getting the "4G" speeds between 14.4Mbps to 42Mpbs, LTE is even faster, but comes with a price - an expensive data plan.
