After building SlimRoms Nougat for the H811 (LG G4 T-Mobile), I ran into an odd artifact: when you enabled and opened the developer settings, it would be blank, or crash. I had absolutely no idea why that would be, nor where to begin looking into a fix.

So, I hopped …

In our last post, I talked about a really neat website: MechDome, which automatically converts your Android app into an iPhone application. If you haven't read that article, I suggest you do to learn more about MechDome, which I think is going to be very big for Android developers in …

As an open source developer of simple Android applications, I can't tell you how ecstatic I am about a new website: MechDome  (https://www.mechdome.com/). Finally, a one stop shop to turn your Android app into one that can be used on iOS devices, in minutes!

Can this really …

So, a new one for me. I'm building a rom for the H811, the T-Mobile variant of the LG G4. Currently building the tried and true AOKP 7.1.2 that I have used for my other phones, and I ran into an error:

Every one else is probably brighter than me. However, after reading the instructions over and over again, and then attempting to follow them, it just wasn't working. All I wanted to do was start a libGDX project in Android Studio. I finally figured out where I went wrong, so here …

Actually, I'm not the first one to do this. It's been done dozens of times before, and quite frankly, to higher levels. So, why do I make my own kernel overclocked? Well, I do think there is one difference in my kernel overclocking than the others. I don't increase the …

CPU and GPU voltage control are back! To God be the glory!

Since moving to Android Nougat, I have not been able to make GPU and CPU voltage control work for the Samsung Galaxy S4, but that changed today. You can see the commit here:

While building AOKP 7.1.2 for the kltevwz (the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5), I ran into this error:

[CODE]

When making apps, I have begun to realize that I don't do a very good job of creating intuitive and informative interfaces. The fact that the user his the export button doesn't really tell the Just Notes app user that they actually did anything, or that notes were exported. That …

After finishing my Android developer course, I decided to try to put my new found (fledgling) skills to use by making a game. It's a classic side scroller with an arcade feel to it. The story line is pretty short and to the point: you are a captain of a …
