Here’s a fun hack you can try if you have a Droid or an Android phone with a keyboard, run DosBox and install Windows 3.1 or maybe run Quake off DOS.
What’s the point? It’s a great way to re-live your past misadventures like I erased command.com the first day I bought my computer 386DX back in 1989.
Yesterday, I stumbled onto a cool hack where this guy has supposedly found a way to run Windows 3.1 on his Droid smartphone. Upon closer investigation, I found out that you can inde
For those of you who want to try a different keyboard than the stock Nexus One provides, you might want to try the HTC keyboard. Installing is pretty easy, no rooting needed. You can see full step-by-step instructions on how to install the HTC keyboard over at our Nexus One Hacks blog.
I really like this keyboard a lot, even better than the Better Keyboard app I bought for $3.99. Best of all, it
I found this hack on YouTube by a kid named Ray, who shows you how to download and install paid apps for free. Of course, it’s probably illegal and we highly recommend to buy your apps and it’s informational purposes ONLY!

Basically what you do is do a Google search for any .apk files. For example, if you wanted an app called Picaso (just making it up), do a Google search for Picaso.apk.
Download the apk file, copy it to your phone’s SD card, then use apkInstaller to install
You know my friend has just got the Droid couple months ago. Well, the problem is that the Droid and all Android 2.0.1 or 2.1 operating systems don’t support the Thai language (and many other languages) by default.
He asked me to see if I can change that since he read a lot of Thai websites and not being able to read Thai on his Droid sucked.
Well, after about an hour of rooting the Droid, installing BusyBox, and copying over .ttf font files to the system font folder, hi
Yesterday I mentioned why Apple shouldn’t be suing HTC for the main reasons that they did not invent the multi-touch surface nor multi-touch gestures.
Today, let me get into the details of exactly why Apple is scared of Google and what they are really afraid of.
First of all, Google Android operating system is based on Java running on top of linux. Java has not been too popular as desktop platform but it has been making a lot of progress for embedded
For those of you trying to use your USB peripherals on the Droid, you might want to take a look at this hack that involves making a USB dongle that will allow you to connect your devices to the Droid. Of course, you will have to hack the Android further to make any of them work but still, it’s a good start. Most USB devices should work without much modification though, it looks like.
The USB hardware on the Droid is actually capable of
Motorola Milestone, the European version of Motorola Droid intro-ed here in the U.S., has been hacked to access root. Once hacked, you can also do things like WiFi tethering and lots more.
On the side note, I will be hacking my Nexus One soon too so watch for that.
Check out some of these pics of the new Google Nexus One, looks pretty slick, doesn’t it? Thanks Giz!
The rumor has it Verizon will have Nexus One available in Spring, awesome! Getting one now. 🙂
I guess the European Motorola Droid has multi-touch features while the U.S. version don’t, here’s how you can hack the Droid to enable multi-touch on your U.S. version too.
Of course, you might risk bricking your Droid completely useless (although I find that hard to believe if it’s Android-based) so follow directions *carefully*!
For those of you late-adapters, you might want to wait as Droid probably will support multi-touch soon through software updates.
