It’s no secret Google+ is still falling behind other big name social networks, but the Mountain view company isn’t giving in just yet, and with good reason. It seems their resilience is somewhat paying off. A part of that can be attributed to the Google+ hangouts feature that has been taken in under the wing from many big sports franchises including the Houston Rockets. Google hangouts offer a place where video casts can be hosted and shared throughout the world. All of this can be done live too, and it seems that Google is on to a good thing here. It does have [...]
Velox: They were calling it one of the greatest, if not the greatest tweaks ever to come out and when you get a glimpse of what Velox actually does, it soon becomes apparent why. This Velox tweak is kind of a big deal. It does a lot. As soon as you open your iPhone you have your apps all laid out there. Well with Velox installed the way those apps work completely changes. Each individual app has it’s own set of custom features that are just simply amazing. For instance take the standard camera app, which with Velox, lets you look through the lens right there [...]
For those of you with a Jailbroken device that enjoys your quiet time, this new Cydia tweak may just be the thing for you. The latest offering from developer Ryan Petrich, who needs little introduction, is a tweak that goes by the name of Luna. Luna is simple in its concept; to enhance the do not disturb function of the iPhone. Petrich is also responsible for popular tweaks such as DisplayOut, LiveClock, Activator and HapticPro. Teaming up with Sentry, an iOS concept designer, the duo have engendered a tweak which allows users to simply swipe down from either the notification [...]
Now you can get Windows XP on Android thanks to the XP Mod launcher. With so many devices and operating systems out there these days, it’s hard to just stick to one. Unfortunately, unless you want to bury a pretty big hole in your pocket and fork out the money for a bunch of new devices you would not have been able to change operating systems. Now, though, there’s practically no operating system you can’t install on another device if you really want to. This guide is going to show you how you can get Windows XP on to an Android via the XP Mod [...]
Swirly SMS is a new Cydia tweak we have just found out about that lets users of jailbroken devices send free SMS texts around the world. Swirly SMS is available for iPad 3 for free. The Swirly Cydia tweak is only available for the iPad 3G, but is a great way to connect and send text if you own one of those devices. Having Swirly SMS for iPad 3 has some good things going for it. For example, most of us prefer to type on bigger devices. It’s just easier. So if you own an iPad and have the ability [...]
I had a friend come to me recently wondering what to do about a white screen that appears when installing the custom ROM for the HTC Amaze. After searching around the web, it seems the problem is a missing kernel.

OK, I’ll admit it, I have a bit of a crush on advertising. Luckily, though, Apple are around to satisfy my cravings. Just this year Apple has brought out a range of new advertisements The first of which we documented back in February for the iPad and the iPad Mini called “Alive” and “Together”. The next Apple ads aired within a couple of weeks later at the night of the Oscars. Again it was an iPad advertisment. Not only was it another iPad ad, but it also had very much the same theme as the other ads and it was quickly [...]

Before I go into detail about what you can do after rooting, I will explain what you NEED to do to keep your device safe. Inside every Android phone is a folder called the EFS folder. This folder is where all of the important stuff is kept such as the device IMEI number. After rooting the Android device, this can become corrupt. Because of this, the first thing you need to do is back up this folder. To back up this folder use an app called HellcatDroid. If you own a Samsung mobile, there is also an app called EFS Pro [...]

When you are searching for custom firmware for A5 devices such as the iPhone 4S and the iPad 2 it was hard to go past the brilliance of the Pwnage tool. As far as I know the Pwnage tool was the first tool that came out for A5 devices which would allow people to preserve the baseband. Now of course you can use the Sn0wbreeze custom firmware as well if you wish. It all depends what firmware you are running on your device. That said, you need to be careful with simply heading over to the settings panel and updating to the latest iOS 6.1.3 as [...]
