Customize the Android phone with a custom rom

CustomSplashDesire

I must say I’m impressed. I was running the standard firmware on my hero phone, and well it was a bit sluggish once and a while. Then I wanted to root my mobile device so I could use a wonderful application called Wifi Tether so I could surf the web on my laptop from any location. After searching the web for this application I stumbled upon a page on http://forum.xda-developers.com. Here they gave me the right directions into rooting my mobile device. But they got something better! A custom firmware to run on my mobile phone, they told me that the phone would run a lot better and faster after the installation of this firmware.

After following all the instructions they gave me my phone was running the latest firmware. And I must say its running way faster now! And the Wifi tethering application is really awesome

New application called Twidroid Pro launched

Twidroid has been the top leader for a twitter client on the Android phone. It recently released a pro version of the client, and turned it into a payed application. What we all want too know, is it worth the pennies… Well I must say a definite yes. Hell I would pay for the standard version too, just to support the the developer of this wonderfull application.

What are the main differences you may ask?

Well the pro version got every feature of the standard client but with the following extra features:

  1. Desktop Widget
  2. Multi account support
  3. Native bit.ly support
  4. Video posting
  5. List your followers and friends
  6. Theming
  7. New black icon
  8. Integrated buzz viewer

Maybe the current price of this pro version is a little too high for some but we will see how that will change hopefully! There are also rumours that this client will be preloaded on too new android devices.
