In my continued determination to complete the Android Developer course, I have been given yet another challenge by my instructor, which is to have two images, where one faded out, and the other faded in. This turned out to be really simple, but it did involve some Googling on my …

I recently had the pleasure of working with #Hekate, a fellow ROM developer on XDA, who just completed a stellar SlimRoms 6.0.1 for the Samsung Galaxy J5! Be sure to check it out on XDA:

I am not an artist. Nor am I a 3d modeler. I tried using Blender and other 3d modeling programs, but it just isn't something that I have a knack for. However, when I saw this app I had to check it out! It's called Scann3d, and it can be …

What does that even mean? Well, if you are searching the internet for that message, then you are trying to use SPF flash tool to write something to your MediaTek phone. You probably were following a guide to the "T" - just like me. You are also considering things like using …

[CODE]
super.processUnsolicited(p);

So, I opened up build_cm14/device/samsung/tblte-common/ril …

Well, I haven't fixed everything yet, but I was able to …

Recently I was fortunate enough to compile a working version of AOKP Nougat for the Samsung Galaxy S4 JFLTETMO/JFLTEXX phones (Praise God!). For the most part, it seems to work great. The only big issue is a problem with the camera.

Today was a pretty fun day. By God's grace, I was able to add intelli_plug, a hotplug alternative made by Faux123, to my JFLTE kernel! Adding a hotplug was a lot easier than I thought it would be, and only required one trimming of the code by Faux123 to make …
