GrandPrix Closer Look: Trinity Kernel And Trinity Kernel Toolbox For The Nexus 7
Now when I first rooted my Nexus 7, I had no idea what kernel I should run on my daily setup. I kept flashing several of them but none of them truly made me happy.

Like any crack flasher would, I was flashing every update for the kernel nightly, modifying the voltages and underclocking the... Read The Rest →

Grand Prix Guide: How To Get Flash Player Working On Nexus 7.
If you’re like me you were quite upset when Google and Adobe announced they would no longer support flash. Jellybean doesn’t allow you to download flash from the market and Adobe is no longer updating flash. Luckily, with android being as open as it is, we can still get flash player on our Nexus 7 devices. This tutorial may still work for other jellybean devices but I have only tested it on the Nexus. You do not have to be rooted for this to work. Also, you will... Read The Rest →

So the guys over at Android Phone Fans aka as Phandroid have got a tip from one of their readers confirming the already speculated December 15 release of the Galaxy Nexus.

Google buys Patent Troll Spray called Motorola
Troll Spray For The Patent Trolls Websters Dictionary defines a patent as “a grant made by a government that confers upon the creator of an invention the sole right to make, use and sell that information for a set period of time.” The idea of a patent has been traced all the way back to 500BC in Greece when anyone who thought up an idea that made them money had the right to keep all the profits for one year. Somehow I doubt the ancient Greeks had a tablet or... Read The Rest →
