HTC One M9 Camera App Port Available for Flashing
It looks like someone has released the system dump for HTC’s new flagship the One M9 online for our lovely developers to tinker with. An xda developer has already figured out a way to port the new camera software over for new phones to download and play with. Can your phone mimic the M9’s shooter?
The port is only 2 files, one being the actual files to be put in your phones system, and the other is a smaller .zip that patches some bugs that could occur with the initial flash. All the features within the camera work as well, aside from Zoe — which is HTC’s self-branded gif maker.
In order to flash the camera, you’ll need a rooted device running either Kit Kat or Lollipop, and a custom recovery. Then flash the initial file, and right after, flash the patch, wipe cache and reboot! Simple.
The camera’s UI is a bit more intense than what you may be used to with Google’s Camera but it shouldn’t intimidate those using a skinned camera. You’ve got your gallery, shutter button, and modes button on the right hand side of the display, along with the flash and settings buttons on the left. You have the option to change the mode of the camera from rear, “selfie” (front), panorama, and more downloadable modes or you can go in and manually change the settings yourself.
This is a good way to see if you’ll enjoy the camera experience of the M9 before even trying the phone, or also just a new way to take pictures on your current phone. You can flash this on an M8 and be halfway to owning the newest flagship /s.

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.
