Breaking down a gif file into frames

I was having a bit of fun with Gimp and put together this new boot animation for Liquid Smooth.

The principle thing that I did was create a template that was black with the Liquid Smooth logo cut out. Then I grabbed a raindrop gif that was freely available online …

Setting up your compile environment for OmniRom 6.0.1

I've talked about how to compile Android variants before, and for the most part, it works the same no matter what variant you build. One caveat to that, however, is OmniRom. When I setup to build OmniRom 6.0.1, I have to set it up differently than the other …

Among the many roms that I am currently working on, one of them is Liquid-Marshmallow (LiquidSmooth 6.0.1) for the Samsung Galaxy S4, T-Mobile variant (SGH-M919, JFLTETMO). There are a couple of problems with this endevour, not the least of which is that official development of LiquidSmooth has stopped …

How old is too old?

A while back I was helping my brother move some old equipment out of a place he use to live. One of the items that I saw there was an old laptop laying on top of some boxes that were stacked up on the floor. It looked kind of old …

My simple calendar script

As some of you know from previous posts, I use JWM as my default window manager. I like to keep things simple and cut down on wasted resources. This helps a lot, as I often run Qemu, Aqemu, or compile Android variants on my older laptop, which is not exactly …
