Droid-life.com Down?

Something terrible may have just happened.  Kellex, founder of Droid-life.com has did not make any posts today when he usually makes like 6 a day.  At first we thought that he just might be busy or working, but then we checked and you are no longer able to post comments on the blog.  Does this mean Droid-Life is shutdown, or something is wrong with their website.  Stay tunned until we find more on this tragic news for fellow Droid lovers, but for now lets hope for the best.  This will be a sad day if the worst is to happend. 😦

Quick info, the nexus one is receiving the 2.2 update now, and the droid is supposed to get it in the “near future”. This good new because we will be able to port over the nexus one 2.2 to the droid and make custom roms, and we will also be receiving the official 2.2.

Use Wii remote on Droid!

You are now able to use the Wii remote on your Droid.  In the market place, look up Wii remote, and there is 5 apps to choose from.  All of them should work, and the free ones work just as good as the paid, but if you want to support the developers by the paid version.  Download the app and follow the instructions in the app.  Make sure your bluetooth is on.  To sync the wii remote all you have to do is hold 1 and 2 on the remote.  It is that easy and works with most emulators.

How to install a custom theme.

**update**= If anyone wants a video instruction made, just post it in the comment and I will get on it.

Many people have been asking how to install a custom theme on your phone, and there are two easy ways to do it.  The first way and easiest way to do it is to get rom manage premium.  This well set you back a few bucks, but if you like to have a place that has most of the roms and custom themes, then it is worth the extra money.  The best thing about rom manager is that it downloads everything OTA so you do not need to use your computer.  The next way to install a custom theme is through MetaMorph.  The good thing about MetaMorph is that it is free.  Also, with MetaMorph you can decide what you want to download.  What by this is lets say you want to change the icons of you app a different color, but not base of the phone itself, then all you have to do is click on the theme in MetaMorph and pick the icon you wan changed.  If you only change the icons on your phone a different color, then you will not need to reboot your phone into recovery, there for you won’t need a backup.  The only bad thing about MetaMorph is that you have to find the themes through your computer and install them to your sd card.  Below I will list the steps to install a custom them

Rom Manager theme

2. open up rom manager

3. go to rom dowloads

MetaMorph
