Koush’s Carbon Backup now out of Beta and Available in the Play Store
Koush Dutta, collector of yachts and developer behind ClockworkMod, has moved his new project, Carbon – App Sync and Backup, out of beta and into the Play store.
Carbon is a backup app that allows user to backup their apps and data to SD or cloud storage. One of the major advantages of Koush’s Carbon is that it can be used with or without root.
Carbon comes in a basic free version which is ad-supported, however, users can upgrade to a Premium version by purchasing the license key via the Premium app in the Play store.
The Premium version costs $4.99 and offers everything the free version does along with:
- No Ads
- Android to Android app sync
- Automatic Backup schedules (coming soon!)
- Cloud backup and restore
* Dropbox
* Box
* Google Drive
The app works for both rooted and non-rooted users, with non-rooted users required to download an accompanying desktop client.
Koush also notes the app is NOT available to Motorola devices thanks to a bug that seems to break Android’s backup mechanism. Other than that, you’re free to download it and give it a try.

Urban Armor Gear LG G4 Case Review
June 23, 2015 | Vincent Messina
The Urban Armor Gear series of cases for the LG G4 aim to protect and serve your mobile device in a virtual blanket of, well, urban armor. Designed from a patented lightweight composite consisting of a hard outer shell and a soft impact resistant core, this dual layer defense not only meets military drop-test standards (MIL STD 810G 516.6), but looks good doing it. Now, before I go into more detail, let it be know that I have always been more of an au naturel device kind of guy, but after a bit of time with the Ash colored LG G4 Urban Armor Case, I can tell you that this case won’t be coming off any time soon.
Device Review: Droid Turbo, This is the Droid You’re Looking For
January 31, 2015 | Keyan X
The DROID brand deserves the majority of credit for the amount of early success that the Android operating system had in 2009 and 2010. From the original Motorola DROID to the original DROID Incredible, this was the brand of phones that people flocked to if they wanted a phone outside of the iPhone, not just because of a great marketing campaign, but because these were top of the line phones. Ask most of the readers on this site which phone got them started on Android, and you shouldn’t be surprised to hear them say, “The OG DROID.” It’s an iconic phone that helped launch Android to the top.
