  • The First Custom ROM For The Samsung Galaxy S II Is Now Available For Download

    The original Samsung Galaxy S had a very strong developer community behind it churning out excellent ROMSs like Darkys, looks like the same is gonna happen with it’s successor. pulser_g2 from XDA has released the first custom ROM for the Galaxy S II called the VillainROM 1.0, don’t be confused by the image above the ROM shall be fully stock.The ROM is based on XWKE2, the developer describes it as:

    It’s fully deodexed, and I’ve resigned all the Samsung and stock applications with a new key-set, so that it’s much easier to make modifications to the apps in future. Villain Tweaks was a project of mine to “test the water” for modifying the apps in the SGS 2 ROMs. I hit issues I couldn’t get around, since the pre-installed apps were signed by Samsung.

    Do note guys is ROM is in it’s primary stages and would take some time to be usable on the daily basis so install it at your own risk.

  • More Motorola Droid 3 Details Leaked

    Most of you have probably seen the above leaked image of the Droid 3 before but the thing we’re all wondering are what’s inside that slim and shining body. Technobuffalo seems to have obtained some new information thanks to a reliable tipster.

    The screen seems to be upgraded to a 4-inch qHD variant, powered by a dual core processor most probably the Tegra 2 variant just like the Droid X2. Other features include a new 5 row keyboard, a front facing camera for video calls and a brand new 8 megapixel sensor on the back. The only let down is no LTE support but that’s a good thing since Verizon hasn’t been properly able to provide 4G coverage across the US. No LTE could give better battery life too, so we’ll leave it for the Droid 4.

  • PTCL Finally Launches 50 MB VDSL In Pakistan

    This was no surprise as PTCL already announced this news a couple of months ago. We covered it here. This new technology is finally launched by PTCL but it does cost a lot of money.

    Currently, PTCL is having a maintenance period and PTCL’s link from SMW-4 is under planned maintenance activity. You can read more about it from here. Due to this, Broadband connections in whole Pakistan are experiencing issues. This problem is estimated to be fixed on 29th July if the conditions are favorable.

    Suddenly, this news popped up on PTCL’s official site that now they are offering VDSL internet in Pakistan. They are calling it Ultranet, according to the service package charges, you can have 10 mbps VDSL internet for 9,999 PKR per month, sadly you will also have to pay for the installation charges which are another 10,000 PKR including the cost of Modem as well. So to summarize, you will have to pay 20,000 PKR just to get your hands on this new technology.

    The other rates are very surprising, you can have 20 mbps internet just for 5,000 PKR more(15,000 PKR). The installation charges are the same for both of these packages. Now this may be the most shocking pricing scheme. I mean come on, if we can have 10 mbps for 10,000 PKR per month, how the hell can we afford 50 mbps. It may cost 30 to 40,000 PKR per month. Unfortunately, we were wrong. Due to the weird pricing scheme of PTCL, they are offering 50 mbps VDSL internet just for 20,000 PKR per month. Surprised? We were also shocked to see this as well.

    This pricing scheme really makes us suspicious. I mean when PTCL can’t even afford to provide a constant and stable 4 MB DSL connection, how will they manage this new technology. Their infrastructure is widely known for having problems. So we can say for sure that it will barely be able to reach the advertized 50 mbps speed.

    This service is currently available only in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad. You can read the full press release below or go here for the official press release.

  • Samsung Galaxy S II AT&T Variant’s Pictures Leaked, Features A Slide Out QWERTY Keyboard

    BGR has received exclusive photos of the AT&T branded Samsung Galaxy S II which is yet to be released in the USA. The most distinctive part of the variant is that it features a slide out QWERTY keyboard like the Sprint variant of the previous Galaxy S: The Epic 4g.

    BGR says this Galaxy S II variant manages to maintain it’s slim profile even with a QWERTY slider, could that make it the slimmer keyboard phone ever?

    As you can see from the image above it’s indeed the rumored SGH-I927 which was previously thought to be the Windows Phone 7 powered Galaxy S II.

    The BGR informant even managed to run some benchmarks which makes one thing clear: it’s bloody fast!

    The camera is still 8MP with what it looks like a single LED flash. We’re still not sure that if the innards like the processor have been changed but we can say for sure is that the phone is indeed coming to the United States.

  • Team Fortress 2 Is Now Free To Play

    Team Fortress 2, one of Valve’s biggest games is now free to play on Steam. The game has been played by millions of players across the PC, Mac and Xbox 360. It was initially reported that the game is free to play for a limited time but Valve later confirmed that this new change was permanent. Valve has also released a promo video to announce the news which you can check out after the break. What could be the reason behind making one of their best selling games free? Maybe they have Team Fortress 3 under production. Even thinking about it gives me goosebumps, but can Valve really count till 3? Only time will tell.

    Valve has finally released Meet The Medic promo video after a long hiatus. The only poor guy left is the Pyro but something tells me his will the best. Meet The Medic trailer features the crazy Medic operating on a Heavy and later showing off his Ubercharger.
