Greetings from New York Comic Con!

We are at the Jacob Javits Center in Manhatten, attending the New York Comic Con. Besides simply being huge fans of the entire nerd genre, we are here to promote the release of our newest creation... our first ever game for the Android platform, NerdRAGE: Wrath at the Con.

NerdRAGE is a nerd based RPG that includes tons of nerdy pop culture references, a bunch of bad guys, cool loot and challenging trivia. The game is currently a public beta release and is available on the Android market.

NerdRAGE is still a work in progress and we would love to hear your feedback!

Hipster Helvetica released to the Android Market!!!


Market Description:
Are you a Hipster with a Rooted Android Device?

Do you love Williamsburg, Brooklyn, PBR and the Fleet Foxes???

If you said yes, then chances are, you probably also love HELVETICA... the greatest font known to man.

Now you can have the full hipster experience on your ROOTED Android device, with Hipster Helvetica... an app that changes the default font on your phone to Helvetica.

Pro Tip: Helvetica looks especially amazing when combined with the MIUI custom ROM... you will be the envy of your adult kick-ball league!

***Requirements***
This app requires a ROOTED Android device with Busybox installed (which is included in almost all third-party ROMs).

***Legal Notice***
The TTF Font included in this Application is NOT Commercially Licensed Helvetica, but rather a FREELY licensed alternative.

AndGuard and AndGuard Pro Now Utilize the RootTools Framework

AndGuard and AndGuard Pro have both been partially re-written to utilize the RootTools framework (developed by Stericson and found here: http://code.google.com/p/roottools/)

This change should dramatically increase compatibility across a wide array of devices and custom ROMs (including those running Gingerbread) and increase the accuracy of root/busybox detection.

Updates are available now in the Android Market.

Thanks for using AndGuard for Root!

Mr. Nice Guy Help Documentation

Mr. Nice Guy is a Tool for Altering the CPU Scheduling Priority of Any Application Installed on your Device. It is for Root Users Only.





What Does Mr. Nice Guy Do?

* Modifies the NICENESS of any application installed on the system, which effects how high or low a priority it has with the CPU scheduler.

Usage Examples

* Raising the priority of a game or application to increase its performance.

* Decreasing the priority of a resource-heavy application or live wallpaper that is slowing down your device.

* Increasing the priority of Android's phone application (accessible via the options menu) to make it more responsive when receiving calls.

Limitations

While Mr. Nice Guy can alter the CPU scheduler priority of a process, it is important to remember that the Android OS can still kill or re-prioritize any process it desires, therefore it may be necessary to re-apply your priority settings from time to time.


Thanks for using Mr. Nice Guy!
