Here’s a collection of various 8-bit and retro pixels wallpapers, several of which feature the world’s most recognized Nintendo protagonist: Super Mario. Many of these 8-bit inspired backgrounds look quite nice as homescreen wallpapers on Android phones. Bearded Super Mario, wooden Mario, and this platform are my personal favorites.

Every time I’ve flashed a vanilla Android ROM on my HTC Desire, there hasn’t been a picture for “Me” in the native Messaging app. In other words, the little contact photo box next to my own messages in conversation lists has always been gray.

These two concept devices appeared during or shortly after CES in early January 2011, and are somewhat old news by now, but I wanted to share them nonetheless. Many promising concept devices never materialize, because financiers couldn’t be found, the projects weren’t deemed commercially viable, or because the designs were too far ahead of current [...]

The single most common question TechCredo gets is easily “what’s the name of that awesome clock widget?” The clock people ask about is featured in several of the live wallpaper demo videos and in some of the Android screen shots on TechCredo.

This is probably a rare issue, but sometimes when I’ve copied a set of wallpapers to the SD card on my HTC Desire, the Gallery app simply refuses to update itself and reflect the changes. It can be mildly frustrating, and even a reboot won’t help or clearing the cache of the Gallery. You can [...]
