Want to enjoy Samsung Galaxy S5 now? Well, you can’t unless you have close relation with Samsung. But you can make Galaxy Note 3 looks a bit more like Galaxy S5. So far, you can enable Galaxy S5 settings UI. As usual, good stuffs require give and take – root access is needed.
Wish to use AOSP ROM on your Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 while keeping Samsung TouchWiz firmware? You can do so now with RomSwitcher application. Basically, you need to have stock TouchWiz firmware. Then install AOSP ROM like CyanogenMod with special method and kernel which will install on cache partition. Finally, use RomSwitcher to dual boot. That’s it.
HTC HD2 just doesn’t want to die. Yes, it is still kicking and alive with HTC Sense 5 ROM. It is still in development stage and for developers only. So only try it if you know what that is. Back to the ROM, it is based on HTC Desire 600. And working stuffs are screen, touch, GSM and data (magldr). Hopefully, others will work sooner. My HTC HD2 already left me to heaven. If yours still alive, feel try to try it then.
Want to get more features and performance out from your Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500? Install custom kernel then. Besides getting all the nice extra features, you get root access too. This is the first step before trying custom ROM. Get familiar with custom kernel first, right? Adam Kernel is the star today. It has several interesting advantages like Wolfson Sound Control, CPU Voltage Control and Screen Colour & Brightness Control. Yes, you get more control on your Galaxy S4 in this case. And better battery life, faster response and performance thanks to tweaked Ondemand CPU Governor. Useless tracers are removed too.
tytung is the man behind NexusHD2 Android ROMs and kernels. Yes, I can say that NexusHD2 is the best Android ROM for HTC HD2. tytung has done a great job to develop both kernel and ROM. From Android Froyo, Gingerbread to Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean. Many other Android ROMs are using its kernel too. tytung is still cooking Android ROM for HTC HD2 right now. However, you can’t find it on XDA Forum anymore. But at his very own forum now. Not sure why XDA Forum ‘forces’ him leave there. He is not the first one and will not be the last. Just too bad to see such a good developer leaving a good development site.
