Now I know that the name says stock ROM but do not think for a second that Bean has let down those... Read The Rest →

Da Kid Reviews: Mean ROM 2.0 For EVO 3D
The 3DVO is an aging device but it’s a powerful one. In terms of life cycle it is unfortunately approaching the end of its days but it still gets my vote as the champ on Sprint. Not the Motorola Atrix or Samsung Epic Touch 4G you say? No I don’t say. After spending considerable time with both of those devices I think the EVO 3D is just faster period and I’m willing to test that theory anytime. That being said we are all sitting on our hands waiting for... Read The Rest →

Claystone Launcher looks darn good. Take a look!
Over on XDA, Claystone inc has been working on the Claystone Launcher for awhile now and now it has been updated to include more 3d elements. If you have never seen claystone it places content , web pages, home-screens and etc on panels. These panels can then be slid and selected in a 3-D view that is just amazing looking (see above screen shot). The stack button in the launcher panel (which I call the magic button) brings these panels out into a 3-D panel perspective that actually reminds me of web OS... Read The Rest →
