Yeah, we know -- it has only been three days since we leaked Gingerbread build 2.11.605.2 RUU for the TBolt, but how could we say no when our homie Justin Case from TeamAndIRC asked us if we want to drop a newer leak? We couldn't. So here you go -- Gingerbread Build 2.11.605.3 for the HTC ThunderBolt. The installation process is basically identical to the previous leak, so if you've already flashed that, then this should be a breeze. For those who want it, we've also included a separate … [Read more...]

September 16, 2011 By 12 Comments

I thought with as popular as the MIUI themes seem to be, I would share one more before I head off. This theme has been laying around for a couple month, but is still really amazing looking. You have two variations to choose from, here is the first - Obviously this is a green neon theme with a lot of work to give you a great overall neon green look. The second one is my favorite of the two though. If you know me at all, you know I am all over this blue version like white on rice. Something … [Read more...]

There was an issue with users losing root access after either updating to MIUI 1.9.9 or clean installing it. This issue effected me personally and was rather irritating. Especially since last night was my first experience with MIUI and I was scared when Titanium back told me I had no ROOT, to check if busybox was installed and my ROM was ROOTED. I did what any good flasher would do, I rebooted the device. still, no root. Then I checked to see if I still had ClockworkMOD recovery. Yup, still … [Read more...]

Yesterday we posted a 10 way unlock screen for those of you that are running MIUI ROM’s. It seems to be a very popular post. To help keep you guys from doing too much leg work, I went a head and pulled another one that I think looks pretty darn good. This one is set up to mimic the look of HTC Sense 3.0 with the silver ring. To unlock the device you drag the ring down and to launch the app you want to open, simply drag it to the center of the circle. With so many lock screen options to … [Read more...]

We have posted various themed out and modified version of various applications to help keep a refreshing look on your device. Thanks to a lot of hard work by so many devs, the options don’t ever stop. After the last GMail update that was rolled out, B-boy and ecsnead69 got to work and gave us a very nice blacked out version that I have been using ever since. I personally love the blacked out apps. I also really like transparent versions. The 2 guys from RootzWiki have added that option to … [Read more...]

  The Motorola DROID BIONIC has only been out for a couple days, but already an easy-to-use tool has been created allowing for one click root access.

This actually became available yesterday, but if you already downloaded you’ll want to grab the latest version to gain access to the program’s unroot features.

No likes a stuttering video, especially when it is on a device that shouldn’t have any issues at all. There is a work around now available for all ASUS Transformers that will solve and significantly improve your FPS in the stock browser and Dolphin HD. Thanks to some work by XDA member, Roach2010. I have come up with a solution for low fps in the Browser when viewing Adobe Flash videos. The problem is that some devices somehow end up with a missing file that the Browser uses to talk to … [Read more...]

Shortly after the HTC Sensation was released, we covered a seemingly random issue with the touchscreen. Not all Sensation owners experienced this issue, and it's still relatively unknown what the exactcause of the problem is. However, one of the theories formed on XDA is that it's a grounding issue on some devices. On others, though, the issue seems to be completely software related. If you can easily solve the problem by rebooting or a factory reset, then the fix outlined below will … [Read more...]
