  • 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.

  • Samsung Galaxy S II Overclocked To 1.5 GHz, Decimates Quadrant And Linpack Benchmarks

    Yeah we all know that the Samsung Galaxy S II is the world’s fastest phone but how much faster can it get? coolbho3000 from XDA has decided to find out. He has overclocked the Galaxy’s dual-core Exynos 4210 to 1.5 GHz! A whole 300 MHz faster than the stock Galaxy S II and 500 MHz faster than the stock chip. You can find the source code and a fool proof instruction guide at the source below, do note you will need the SetCPU app for this to work. There’s also a video of the overclocked behemoth obliterating other phones in Quadrant and Linpack after the break.

  • HTC Sense UI 3.0 Won’t Be Supporting PRE EVO 3D Devices

    -insertsadsmileyhere- Yes we know this is sad, HTC just announced from their Twitter that older devices like your HTC Desire HD and Incredible S won’t be getting HTC Sense UI 3.0. HTC said that Sense UI 3.0 is only supported by newer devices like the EVO 3D, Flyer tablet and the recently announced Sensation. All three of these devices have dual core processors leading us to belive that this new Sense must be really hardware intensive.

    This is new since I didn’t expect manufacturers themselves to fragmentise their own devices, but our bet is those geniuses over at XDA-Developers would probably sort this out it’s only a matter of time now.
