Android Hack – How to Download and Install Paid Apps for FREE on your Nexus One, Droid, or Other Android Phone!

Posted on March 22, 2010 by max

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

Posted on March 20, 2010 by max

The highlights of Google Nexus One over an iPhone isn’t that it has about 35% faster 1Ghz Snapdragon CPU processor (instead of iPhone’s 666Mhz Snapdragon CPU) or that Nexus One has a whopping 5 mega-pixel camera and two microphones for noise-suppression, but that Nexus One will be(is already for me) supporting Adobe’s Flash Player 10.1.

Of course, if you install Modaco’s HTC Desire ROM (You can read up on

Why Apple is Scared of Google and What They are Really Afraid of.

Posted on March 17, 2010 by max

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

Apple Sues HTC and Why Apple doesn’t own any Multi-Touch/Gesture Patents!

Posted on March 16, 2010 by max

Apple is probably one of the companies I have tried hard to like, I was even going to buy an iPad just a few hours ago (even though I hated its features lacking multi-tasking/no camera) but it seems like with the recent news that Apple is going to sue HTC, I might have to re-think and boycott Apple for another couple years. (My last Apple purchase was back in 2006 for an iPod Touch, I have boycotted their products since then, espe

Yup, I’ve been hacking my Nexus One phone a bit, this is my first time with Android phones but seems like I am getting the hang of it.  I’ve just installed the HTC Desire ROM on my Nexus One and I have to say, it’s rather nice.

I can also switch back and forth between the Cyanogen Mod and the HTC Desire, which is really cool.

Now, I just wish there were more ROMs available for the Nexus One.

You probably remember when I hacked my Palm Pre into a WiFi router when it came out months ago.  Well, I decided to do the same thing on my Nexus One too!

I know I mentioned this Nexus One Wifi hack couple weeks back but didn’t try it myself and found that instructions out there are very lacking so I made my own

(Boot-up animation of Cyanogen Mod on my Nexus One)

Sorry for lack of updates folks, I have been immersing myself in some crazy Nexus One mods over the last couple days, bearing getting any sleep.

Basically, I was trying to get the Android WiFi Tether app working, which requires you to root your Nexus One.  In the process, I just decided to install the Cyanogen Mod (which is basically an “enhanced” Nexus One Android OS) while I am at it.

After installing Cyanogen Mod on my Nexus One, I was rather surprised to find that my phone seems to run zippier

PHP Hack – How to Detect iPhone, iPod, Andoird, Palm Pre Browsers!

Posted on February 26, 2010 by max

One of our readers Titus just alerted me that Zedomax.com on smartphone browsers such as his iPhone will cause our e-mail newsletter lightbox to appear and make it almost impossible to get rid of.

Therefore, I’ve just put in a simple PHP code that will detect iPhone, iPod, Android, and Palm Pre browsers so there’s no more of that. Try PHP code something like below:

<?php $iphone = strpos($_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’],”iPhone”); $android = strpos($_SERVER[‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’],”Android”); $palmpre = strpos($_SERVER[̵

I saw this PC fan and first thought, “Nexus One”.  Well, the author didn’t really intend to make it a Nexus One PC fan but it certainly looks like my Nexus One animated boot-up screen. Cool~

A self-contained, digital, full control fan controller based around an AVR microcontroller that could have fine control over the fan’s speed, read back the RPM, and control not just the brightness of the LEDs but also the color.  Having se
