Cheap devices just keep getting better and better all the time. They are getting so good that you almost have to ask yourself why are you paying for $800 devices in the first place. If you want an excellent Android experience the most you really have to pay is about $200. The only aspect of...

The Nextbit Robin is an interesting device. The phone integrates the cloud into your Android experience meaning running out of space is a thing of the past on this phone. Your onboard storage is actually merged with the cloud. This phone is also pretty easy to customize. A new toolkit by...

Now that we have come to the realization that the T-Mobile LG G5 is shipping with an unlockable bootloader you may want to give the LG G5 TWRP a try. It was posted as "Not working", but that was before we knew the G5 bootloader is unlockable. This has not been tested officially and is not known...

I have always been a strong proponent of custom software for your Android devices! In the early days Roms were mostly about enhancing the performance of our very limited devices. Back then 1 core clocked at more than 1Ghz was a pretty big deal. Roms meant we could rid our devices of bloat and...

All the old school phone hackers remember when the only custom recovery option available was Clock Work Mod Recovery. Upon arrival it mostly used the volume keys and power button, or the physical navigation buttons to select options in the recovery. Something really bad started to happen. Some...

The $200 super budget phone from Huawei has just gotten a bit better. I reviewed this phone a few days ago. So far out of all the phones I have used in this price range the Honor 5X is my favorite. Obviously it cuts a few corners to get to $200 like no OIS, no nfc, and last gen wifi radios, but...

The Pixel-C is the highly acclaimed convertible Android tablet. It runs stock Marshmallow Android, but if you are a modder you will be happy to learn that there is now a working TWRP custom recovery available for the tablet. This is unofficial, but is said to be stable enough to use. The only...

The HTC One A9 seems to have been quite the flop. It is HTC's mid tier offering for late 2015. It looks eerily similar to the iPhone 6s, however HTC will swear to you that Apple stole design ques from them when designing the iPhone 6. That is neither here nor there. One great thing about the A9...
