Pebble custom firmware ITA – aggiornato a 2.1

Pebble in italiano

Pebble in italiano

Pebble è un ottimo smartwatch, ma molto semplice. Questa semplicità porta, tra le altre cose, all’impossibilità di selezionare la lingua.

L’app di Pebble non controlla l’originalità dei file pbz che vengono caricati, quindi è possibile creare dei firmware modificati e installarli direttamente dall’applicazione ufficiale!

Ho realizzato quindi un custom firmware per il Pebble in italiano.

Unbrick HTC One – HTC black screen with warning signs on edges

HTC RUU with alert signals

HTC RUU with alert signals

Today I had a problem while trying to return to stock my HTC One: I ended up having this HTC RUU Mode screen with warning logos on the edges and I found no way to get out of that; rebooting, even with VOL – pressed, brought me to that screen. I thought it was bricked, but don’t worry, there’s a solution!

My phone was S-ON and LOCKED, and it had a wrong CID: was set to HTC__405, which was not it’s original one, so I thought that there was a very little chance to recover it; however it can be done and it’s pretty simple (once you know what to do 😀 ).

I found out that, on that screen, fastboot OEM commands work. That doesn’t bring us directly to a solution, but it’s enough to start with!

How to get (nearly) unlimited Facebook likes, for free

Versione italiana

If you’re a Facebook page administrator, you probably know that there are lots of services providing Likes in exchange of other Likes, or worse, money.

One of these services is Like4Like, which is based on a point system. You earn points by liking other pages, photos etc, or you can buy points. After that, you can spend your points to get Likes. For example, you can set a page Like to 9 points, then, everyone who likes the page gets 9 points, and you lose them.

iOS 4 on HTC HD2? DFT was working on that

HTC HD2 has got lots of unofficial development. Born with Windows Mobile 6.5, developers got it running Android (up to KitKat!), Windows Phone 7 and some Linux distributions.

Most of the credit goes to the Dark Forces Team, some great developers that made the HD2 run also Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 RT; even if they didn’t release anything.

Following one of the members on Twitter, however, I found that they were also working on another great operating system: iOS 4!

Hackintosh audio: VoodooHDA without kernel panic

VoodooHDA is a simple kext that enables audio on hackintoshes. I tested it on OS X 10.9 Mavericks and 10.8 Mountain Lion (with iATKOS ML / ML2) and it just works. Of course it depends on your audio card, but as far as I know, it works on almost every card.

The problem is that VoodooHDA kext sometimes gives kernel panic. They seems to be totally random and sometimes disappear on reboot, sometimes not.

However, here’s the fix: VoodooHDA kext with kernel panic issue fix!
