We talked about overclocking the CPU of the S4 (SGH-M919) before, but today I wanted to point out some great work by Faux123 that showed me exactly what to do to overclock the Graphics Processor Unit (GPU) of my S4. Faux123's work was far more impressive then my own, with …

There are a lot of guides out there about CPU and GPU governors. They are all very informative, and usually somewhat technical. The other day, however, I needed to explain CPU and GPU governors to a non-technical person, and I realized that a lot of big verbiage and vague terms …

I'm not one for app reviews, but when I find a tool that really seems to help me, I like to share that info with others. One such tool is µTorrent. Simple, clean, easy to use and understand. Those are the principle reasons I like it.

Just like using a …

I have been trying to follow every guide out there to overclock my Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919), and until now I have had absolutely no luck! It wasn't until I saw some work on a kernel by Faux123 that I realized the difference in kernel setups. Once I tried it …

Okay, so it really isn't that bad, but it sure sounds bad. I guess that's the point though. Let's take a look:

If you are still with me, then you have already set up your phone to first boot Debian Linux, and then Linux will start Android in a chroot environment. Your phone is actually already running Debian Linux, just with Android being run and displayed on the screen. At any moment …

If you are following along from the previous post: great! Good work. I'm glad that you are still with me! Today's changes are actually all you need to do to have a dual phone, where you start Linux first, and then Linux turns on Android. With this setup, you actually …

First and formost, I would like to clear the air. This is not a set of instructions on how to put Linux on your phone, as you would do with apps like Linux Deploy. This is also not for the faint of heart. This is a step by step tutorial …
