Even if you don’t have a Pixel or Nexus and have access to the Android O Beta, you might still be able to get the new launcher to try that out if you want?

How to Make Your Samsung Galaxy S8 Look Like Stock Android (Video)

It’s getting harder and harder to root the more popular Android devices. I personally love rooting my phone and removing whatever crap bloatware the carrier or manufacturer put on their as well as flashing a custom ROM to get a stock version of Android that is way snappier and, frankly, better looking in most cases. But, since that’s not quite an option for the S8 (and frankly, Samsung has dialed down the S8’s TouchWiz to a point I don’t mind it as much as usual, but you can read about that in my review), we have to resort to methods

How to Make the Apple Logo on Your iPhone Light Up Like a Macbook (iPhone 7 & 7 Plus) (Video)

Well, thanks to the response from you guys for the iPhone 6/6 Plus light kit and the iPhone 6S/6S Plus kits I put together, here’s how to make the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus Apple logo light up like it does on a Macbook. Now, there was a bit of a delay getting the iPhone 7 kit to work and the main reason is the fact that Apple changed the way the screen connects to the motherboard. In the previous versions of this kit, we ended up leeching power from the back of the screen and that essentially allowed the

How to Share Gifs to Instagram

The internet is obsessed with gifs. Cat gifs, gifs from TV shows, movies, celebrities making odd faces and more that people now use to post as small animations on the web to further get across the more specific emotion they are feeling (nothing says good job like that Drake gif of him clapping. That’s just correct). And while everyone shares these on a variety of social networks, there’s one that won’t accept them: Instagram. Instead if you try to upload a gif to Instagram, you simply get the first frame/image of the gif and, let’s be real Drake just sitting

Toss Treats, Talk to Your Dog, & Ease Anxiety w/ This Awesome Gadget!

A friend of mine got a new puppy not too long ago, and while he’s pretty damn cute, he’s also a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, which apparently is another name for “I’m a breed with separation anxiety and just want to sit on laps and stop you from doing anything besides loving me”. Soon as she would leave her apartment, the barking and howling would begin, then came the calls from the neighbors followed by the mental anguish of always wondering if he was barking when she wasn’t home. When she mentioned all of this to me, I was reminded

How to Use Apple Clips

Apple recently launched an entirely new app called Clips. The name is pretty apropos, too, considering it allows you to take multiple short video clips and combine them together, add text or graphics easily and produce an end video super easily. But, as with Apple, there’s no instructions on how to use Clips exactly, so I figured I’d do a quick rundown and tutorial for anyone wanting to try this new app out. The app is super minimalistic and simple actually, and opening it just opens directly to a camera that you can tap three options underneath to start getting

I’m Turning the Site Back into a Blog…

For the first time in years, I don’t care if anyone reads this. Now, that’s not to say that I don’t appreciate if someone does (thank you!), but, right now, I’m not concerned with how many people read this. And you know what, it feels amazing. First, Some History… When I first started this blog back in 2009, I was writing whenever I could in between my job and going to college about something that was interesting to me: unlocked phones (does the name of my site now make more sense?). Which ones I thought were cool and why, changes

How to Hack the Nintendo Classic (& Get Over 700 Games) (Video)

Nintendo re-released their original NES system under the name the Nintendo Classic. This miniature version of the original console from the early 80’s has been updated to use HDMI outputs, different controller ports, and no longer needs the game cartridges. Instead of popping in new cartridges for each game it just comes preloaded with 30 of some of their most popular games. Thing is, Nintendo basically made a small Linux computer and using an emulator to run their own games on it. So that should mean adding other games to it, shouldn’t be that hard to do. Right? Thanks to
