Samsung Posts Jelly Bean Kernel Source For The Galaxy S II GT-i9100 And GT-i9100M BMC

Posted by in Bell, Development, Galaxy S II, News

Samsung recently starting updating its aging-but-not-dead flagship phone from yesteryear (OK, technically it was the year before that, but yesteryesteryear isn't a thing) to Jelly Bean. And when Samsung updates things, you know what that means, right? Source code. Because a new version of Android brings with it a new kernel. And Android modders want new source to go along with that new kernel. So Samsung delivered, as always.

This go around, it's uploaded the kernel source for the Galaxy S II i9100, as well as Bell Canada's variant, the i9100M BMC. So, if you maintain a ROM, want to tweak some code, or some other third thing – you can hit the appropriate link below to grab the download.

[New App] Greenify Keeps Rooted Devices Running Smoothly By Hibernating Specified Apps When They're Not In the Foreground

Posted by in Applications, News

We've all had to deal with it at one point or another: a rogue app hiding out in the background, chomping away on the battery. Or perhaps a bunch of pre-installed junk is taking up all of your device's precious RAM. No matter how you slice it, unwanted background apps are a nuisance. Now, there are a number of ways to do away with these apps, but none of them are what we'd call "great." For example, you could freeze them with Titanium Backup Pro, but then you can't launch them without unfreezing, and that's a pain. Or you could use a  task killer(*shudder*), but those aren't good for anyone.

[New App] Belkin Releases An Early Beta Preview Of Its WeMo App For Android, Still Missing Several Features, But It's A Good Start

Posted by in Applications, News

If Belkin had you excited about its upcoming WeMo Android app at CES this year, good news: the first beta version of the app just landed in the Play Store. According to the app's description, it has only been tested on the Samsung Galaxy S III, but should work on all 4.0+ devices. With that said, some (or even most) of the features may not work properly, as the app is a very early beta.

So, what can you do with the WeMo app? At the current time, you can control WeMo devices over Wi-Fi or cellular network, set custom icons and names, update the local firmware, and take advantage of IFTTT integration.

Are You A System Info Junkie? Get It All On Your Homescreen With 'Device Info Live Wallpaper'

Posted by in Applications, News

Back in the day, I used to use Samurize or RainMeter on my Windows machines to output the current system info on the desktop. That way, if something started acting funky, I would have an idea of where to start looking – if RAM was starting to get full, closing a couple of larger programs would usually fix the issue. If the CPU was peaking, then I could easily fire up the Task Manager and kill the culprit, proving that violence sometimes is the answer.

Joking aside, having system stats at a glance can be incredibly useful to those who like to obsess over those types of things.

U.S. Cellular Announces New LTE Markets For 2013, Should Cover 87 Percent Of Customers By Year's End

Posted by in News, US Cellular

In the (seemingly) never-ending race to offer LTE, U.S. Cellular has just announced a fairly major expansion to its 4G LTE network that will take place over the course of 2013. By the time the end of the year rolls around, the company expects to offer LTE to 87 percent of its customers, which is a 26 percent increase over its current network.

At the current time, the company is being a little vague about exactly which cities are going to get LTE coverage, citing only that "select cities in California, Kansas and Nebraska" will gain the ultra-fast connection, with specific mention of "Lincoln, Neb., Omaha, Neb., Manhattan, Kan., Eureka, Calif.

[New Game] 'Forever Lost: Episode 1' Is A Creepy Puzzle Adventure Game Along The Lines Of Myst

Posted by in Games, News

If you're a fan of classic puzzle adventure games like Myst, then a new entry to the Play Store called Forever Lost should pique your interests. Like many games in the genre, Forever Lost tosses you – a confused amnesiac – into a room riddled with clues, and coats everything in layers and layers of creepiness. Expect memory flashbacks, strange visions, and a whole lot more as you embark on the journey to get your mind back in its former order.

To go along with its haunting environment, FL features an equally as eerie soundtrack, which really helps set the tone of the game.
