Android Hacks – How to Get Started with Android App Development!

I’ve been doing a bit of research lately on developing Android development and have found a slew of sites that could jump-start your Android-app development.  Of course, there’s great books to read out there but what I like to do and how I learn best is by trying out different simple examples of programming.

Since Android apps are basically Java-based, it would help a great deal if you have done some Java programming before.  Personally, I am a java engineer who has done many applications with embedded computers.   This should be pretty easy for me once I get the hang

Sausage DIY – Korean Sausage Works Well as iPhone Stylus!

Yesterday I read on Kottke.org that South Koreans have been using Korean sausages as iPhone stylus and sausage sales in Korea has gone up tremendously.  You know it’s below freezing in Korea right now and snowing everywhere.  People didn’t want to take their gloves off and figured out sausages can substitute their fingers well.

Since I am Korean food addict and I go to the biggest Korean market in America (I think), I had to try it myself and indeed, Korean sausages work perfect be

Nexus One Versus. iPhone 3GS!

I’ve been using Nexus One for about a month almost now and I have to say, I enjoy using it all the time over my Palm Pre because there’s so many apps on Android(my favorites the WordPress app, Seesmic for Twitter, and Advanced Task Killer).

The only thing that sucks about my Nexus One would be that 3G connection on T-mobile ain’t as reliable as my Pre’s Sprint.

I think GSM carriers in general suck indoors, believe this is due to the type of connection.  I have always found my Sprint devices fare far better in terms of consistency.

I’ve noticed at CES 2010 this year that they were using blackberries to scan our tickets.  Well, I think Blackberries are still okay devices but with my recent purchase of Nexus One, I am very moved that Android will start taking a large portion of the smartphone market soon.

Anyways, here’s a ShowClix app that can be used on any Android-based device (it doesn’t have to be a smartphone) to scan tickets using on-board camera.  I think Android OS is up to

Nexus One Hack – How to Enable Multi-Touch on your Nexus One!

Nexus One launched in the U.S. supposedly doesn’t come with multi-touch simply because Apple would “sue” Google if it did. But it’s okay, I believe it was Google’s mastermind plan to let hackers hack the Android OS 2.1 to add multi-touch support, here it is! (I will have an updated video of this working too btw.)

Only 7 lines of code!

Who wants multitouch for their N1 browser?

I just whipped this up, this will be in my upcoming ROM.
