    Facebook Home Launcher

    So, who's ready to jump on this train wreck? ;) Seriously though, I think the level of integration this will give Facebook into the android experience is a bad thing, especially when FB starts serving ads (confirmed by MZ) right to your homescreen. I think homescreen widgets or something...

    GS3 vs. iPhone 5 Manufacturing Cost

    So, just thought I'd post this in light of seeing plenty of references to the S3 being "cheap plastic" and how Samsung likes to cut corners on build quality to keep costs down. According to IHS iSuppli, the cost (materials+labor) to build the iPhone 5 is $207 for the 16GB model. The cost to...

    Just got an OTA update & applied it (after backing up with ADB, I ain't no dummy!), no idea what it did, still at 4.0.4. Anyone else get it?

    Root CWM & Backup Security

    So I've been in the mode of thinking about mobile security & wondering if there is a way to have CWM encrypt ROM backups. I worry that if someone were to walk off with my phone, it would be super easy to pull out the SD card & unzip the latest ROM backup & have access to all my data- no need to...

    Help Video stutter when recording

    Hey all, I have had numerous ROMs on my MT, bot Froyo & CM7 and have intermittently had problems recording 720p videos. At first I thought it was a slow SD card, but switched that out for one that benchmarks plenty high enough and will still have it happen, but not every time. I even switched...
