I have noticed that the build instructions on the AOKP website are a bit outdated. They date back to JellyBean. I would like to encourage other users to build more custom roms, and I thought that it would help if I show how to build one of the roms wich …
How to check your governor and I/O scheduler from the command line
The other day, when working through some issues with kernel governors and I/O schedulers, I realized that I was a bit rusty on where to find them from the command line. After some searching and tinkering, I thought I might save some internet searcher the long and winding road …
Changing the default wallpaper in an Android build
The other day, God graciously allowed me to compile PAC-ROM MM for the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 (JFLTETMO SGH-M919). So there are a lot of great things about this rom, but there were also a few things that I thought were lacking in creativity. Simple things really. Like the background …
The Every Day Screenshot
A good friend of mine has a blog that focuses on his EDC, or every day carry. It is actually quite interesting because of my friend's unusual assortment of items to which he carries every day. As a general contractor and laborer, as well as an avid outdoors-man, his pocket …

Scatter-brained or Diligent?
Having little to no professional equipment, it is necessary to do everything that I do from an older computer, namely an HP Compaq 6715b laptop. From running Qemu to compiling Android roms, it is all done from a laptop that is several years old. Perhaps you also find yourself in …

Adding Governors to your kernel
While building AOKP MM for my Samsung Galaxy S4, T-Mobile phone (SGH-M919 JFLTETMO), I made a rookie mistake. In my mind, AOKP users are the type to want the maximum performance out of their devices at all times. So, when I put AOKP 6 together, I figured that a good …

Dirty Unicorns don't play nice.
Dirty Unicorns don't play nice. Well, at least this one doesn't. A fellow XDA member made a request for a T-Mobile specific Dirty Unicorn 6.0.1 rom for their phone. I told them that I was working on some other projects, but I thought that I could squeeze it …
