Rooting the Nexus

Matthew 0 Comments

Well I have been tempted to root my phone for a while and i found a cool application that allows you to video capture your screen, so i wanted to test it out, in order to do that you need to root your phone as the app uses some background process that require you to be root (those of you who know the Linux world, you know what root is, if you don;t root is a Super User, we call it a God account because you can do anything and everything to the OS with root access). Unfortunately, the app for the screen capture doesn’t work on the Galaxy Nexus due to buffering protection at a hardware level.…

Jelly Bean finally arrives on the Gallaxy Nexus (Virgin Mobile)

A few days ago my phone updated, however I was sadly disappointed when it ended up being a minor update from 4.01 to 4.02 of Ice Cream Sandwich.

Well last night there was another update. This time it was the update I have been waiting for; finally my phone is running Android 4.1.1 Jellybean.

Before when I would tilt my phone to the side to type it would lag a bit, so the lag corrections of Jellybean are living up to the hype.…

The problem with WEP is it can be hacked in about 5 minutes. There is an flavour of Linux (a version of ubuntu, modified) called BackTrack and it is used by hackers to crack the password on WEP, WPA, and WPA2 secured networks.…

Farewell to the Flame (The theft of the Torch)

Well this weekend has been a hell of a downer for me. On Friday I opened the store at 8:30 so my boss/good friend could sleep in, having going out the night before for one of his friends birthdays. He called me that morning on my cell to ask me if opening went okay, and as I was up front putting out the papers, everything was fine. After the call I put down the phone on the desk nearest the door and finished putting out the papers.

Around mid day I wondered where my phone was (while at work I rarely have it on me, its either at my desk charging, or somewhere within reach).…
