My Galaxy S needed some cleaning so I figured why not tear it apart and document it for the Interarwebs? I have no responsibility so everyone is a winner!

The Galaxy S is much easier to pull apart compared to the HTC Desire HD A9191. Sorry for the poor photos but I usually use this phone to take my photos so I had to use the Galaxy Tab 7 (P1000). And the camera on that thing is friggen USELESS. Also notice that my phone is very dirty, because I am a concretor and it gets really dirty in my pocket. Read More...

HOWTO HTC Desire HD A9191 (Almost Complete) Teardown

This is an [almost complete] step by step guide to tearing down an HTC Desire HD A9191 mobile phone.

Based from the video guide on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfatoeWbMRk
Steps with * on them mean they differ slightly from the teardown video above. Usually the difference will be noted.

This teardown details some things that are not apparent in the original teardown video because the original video uses a device that has no sticky areas on it. It is probably a demonstration model device - not a real world model.

My guide will help you to open the device, and remove all pieces except for the upper main board, and anything to do with the LCD. If you need to replace certain parts, watch the original video and use this guide. You may not need to completely tear your device apart to replace the part. Read More...

My brother, Sluigi, has been more active in using custom ROMs on his androids since we got them. When he showed me Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) on his Samsung Galaxy S it seemed really nice. He did some everyday usage and said it was pretty good so I took the plunge and moved ahead to a custom android ROM.

This is a [almost complete] step by step guide on how to update an unrooted, stock firmware Samsung Galaxy S running Gingerbread 2.3.3 to ICS 4.0.3 RC1. Read More...
