My LG phone (P-880) is starting to get on my nerves. First of all, I dislike their modifications on Android more and more as I use the phone. The phone has a 1.5 GHz quad-code CPU and 1 GB RAM, and hangs for seconds at the time. The hardware is more or less the same as for the Nexus 4 and that is why I bought the phone. The second is perhaps the best Android phone on the market and the first one, one of the worst! Is the changes in the ROMs that big and different? Well, I got [...] […] Continue reading →

The package includes everything from Viveza 2 for making selective color […] Continue reading →

Apparently the search giant is rolling out this and other tweaks, gradually. I’ve gotten my profile updated already, but I am not sure that I will change my profile pages. I still like having the possibility to show more photos. Another visual […] Continue reading →
Yesterday Google announced that they had updated their maps for 10 countries and regions in Europe: Andorra, Bulgaria, Estonia, Gibraltar, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Spain. I had a quick look at “my area” of Hungary, and indeed the maps had improved a lot! Of course, updates are not without problems. So it didn’t take long before I noticed the first error and used the “Report a problem” tool in the lower right corner of the map. […] Continue reading →
