Do you even remember when you started using the tabbed interface on browsers and got used to it? I really don’t, but I understand one thing for certain, and it’s that it saves me a lot of time and effort. It makes my browsing easier on the whole. However, there is not much one can [...]
One thing I love to do on my HTC One X is flash and try new ROMs. Over the months, I have tried numerous custom ROMs on my device and shared some of the good ones with you as well. If you remember, every time we installed a ROM on One X we had to [...]

When I started using Android, back in the days of Eclair, power of taking a screenshot on the phone was only limited to root users. But now in Gingerbread and versions above that, a user can take screenshots even without rooting a device as long as the feature is integrated in the ROM by the [...]

Be it computers or smartphones, modern-day browsers consume a considerable amount of device memory. If you are on a powerful Android phone with dual or quad-core processor, you will hardly notice a thing.
