Android 4.4 KitKat came with a number of valuable improvements. However, there’s one thing strangely missing from Android 4.4 KitKat: a battery bar percentage readout. For whatever reason, Android 4.4 KitKat doesn’t make it easy to display battery percentage readouts in your notification bar. The feature is not even hidden under a bizarre layer of settings. It just doesn’t exist. Most Nexus 5 users don’t want to guess how much battery life they have left, which is why we’ve come…
The world’s most popular Android ROM, CyanogenMod, constantly breaks down barriers. CM is often the first major ROM to be updated after a new Android version is released, making it the go-to ROM for rooted Android users around the world. CyanogenMod 10.2 was recently released in its ‘M1’ phase. What does that mean? It’s a phase between the nightly releases and the stable final version release. Once a CM version hits the ‘M2’ phase, it’s considered to be stable (in other words,…

Call of Duty: Ghosts is a radical departure from Call of Duty games of ages past. Just kidding. It’s exactly the same game except with a few new maps and dogs. Some companies would call this update ‘DLC’ and charge only $5 to $10 for it, but Activision decided to go the opposite direction and market Ghosts as a new game worth spending $60 for. Well, if you’re one of millions of gamers (the game sold over a billion dollars’ worth of copies –but only to retailers - in its first…
Public transport is the lifeline of every city across the world; however, it’s no surprise that something that facilitates our movement in a multitude of ways 24/7 is enabled by a highly complex and organized network that runs on an ultra-tight schedule. This complexity can be rather overwhelming for many passengers who want to get from point A to point B without taking the wrong route and ending up late or stuck in the middle of nowhere. Buses are efficient but seriously confusing modes of…

After Android 4.3 was released, people figured that Google was gearing up for a big release for Android 5.0, which, as everybody knew, was going to be called Key Lime Pie because what other dessert starts with ‘K’?
