So I completely wiped my Nexus 7 today and installed stock 4.2.1, then installed a custom ROM and kernel and seems to be running well so far. I normally use CyanogenMod on my Android devices but decided to make a change. I have also undervolted the CPU and added some extra tweaks, and as with… Read More
In one of my previous posts I wrote about the build.prop tweaks that I use on my Galaxy S2. However a person simply known as Dave sent me an interesting e-mail with a link to this post which is like a Mythbusters of Android tweaks. So upon taking this information on board, I’ve decided to… Read More
So I am running Cyanogenmod 10.1 (4.2.1) on my Galaxy S2 on Telstra. I’ve always seemed to have issues with sending or receiving MMS on my handset. What I did to get it working was remove all the APN settings and kept two: Telstra Internet and Telstra MMS. I then modified them and it seems… Read More
I’ve gone back to Cyanogenmod 10 and Siyah Kernel. I found an awesome application called CyanDelta Updater which only downloads “delta” updates for the nightly builds (around 6MB-12MB) instead of the usual 100MB+. It also can reboot to recovery, and apply the zip automatically. It also has the ability to flash other zips after rom… Read More
I recently changed to Resurrection Remix on mine and Chell’s phone. Using Dream Kernel 2.7.5 for the Kernel. Figured I would update my config. I’ve had no SOD (Sleep of Death), and no slow downs e.t.c. on either of the phones. The combination is great, and when the new mali drivers e.t.c. get added it,… Read More

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S2 OS: Cyanogenmod 10 (Jelly Bean) Launcher: Nova Launcher Theme: Red Sensation Widgets: Minimalistic Text Icons: MetroStation Wallpaper: 9to5HDWallpapers I like having a minimalistic layout as you can see… Read More
I previously posted about my settings for ExTweaks and SiyahKernel, but the new update to SiyahKernel (3.3.3c) has some changes, so thought I would post my new setup. I’ve also recently created a “cleaner” script I flash after each nightly to clean / remove a lot of stuff. You can read what it does, or… Read More
In my previous post I listed my settings for SiyahKernel and I’ve since swapped to Fluxi kernel (XDA thread) and figured I would write a new post. I’ve not been running it long enough for any “real world” tests, but it seems to be running quite alright. Edit: I’ve since swapped back to SiyahKernel as… Read More
I figured I would post what configuration I have, tweaked using SiyahKernel and ExTweaks. A user (geko95gek) over at XDA Developers has put in a lot of testing creating a “MagicConfig” which I would recommend you checking out over here. Quote from geko95gek: I have done my best to test the configuration and to my… Read More
I’m currently running Cyanogenmod9 on my Galaxy S2 on Telstra. It runs beautifully and I am loving ICS and all the hard work that the CM devs put into their ROM’s. What I’ve done though is created a local.prop file inside /data/ (I know the title says build.prop) but I decided on local.prop since flashing… Read More
