JRummy’s ROM Toolbox Turns 1 Year Old, Price Cut 50% and Half of Sales Go to Testicular Cancer Research
Our buddy JRummy16, who has been a major player in the Android community since the OG DROID days, is offering his ROM Toolbox application (which turns 1 year old today) for just $2.99 instead of the regular $5.99. ROM Toolbox combines all the major root apps into one app plus adds much more. Users can flash ROMs, have a root file explorer, set cpu profiles, install full themes and more. It's a great app for any root user.
Google Maps 8-Bit Coming Soon, Cartridge Blowing Allowed
When it comes to April Fools' activities, no one does it up like Google. To get an early start on the festivities, they released their first product in Google Maps 8-bit. Yeah, that 8-bit.

Ice Cream Sandwich Build 6.14.75 Leaks for the DROID RAZR
After yesterday's news that Ice Cream Sandwich would be released next week for the DROID RAZR and RAZR MAXX, a soak test invite for Motorola Feedback Network members was quickly sent out which seemingly confirmed that the update was upon us. This morning, a leaked Android 4.0.3 (version 6.14.75) build briefly became available from the crew over at DroidRzr.com, however, it was then pulled as the normal methods for flashing were not working as expected.
From what we know though, thanks to a couple of successful flashes, a new webtop software is included, obviously a new ICS UI, new radios, and version 4.0.3 of Android. What we aren't sure about yet is if this is the official build that could be pushed to devices in the coming days.
If you are interested in potentially flashing, you will want to keep an eye on this DroidRzr thread.
Cheers Patrick, Johnny, and Mal_Eskrito!
