Nice and useful, but this should be under themes and apps, not development.

Stock Bell Atrix on Rogers with updated radio, Rooted, deodexed, Honeycomb theme, and frozen!

I see your point but this can definetly be used for developmental purposes and its not an app for android its a windows app.

Just the fact that you can sideload without root or having sideloading enabled. Is a development really. Just for example with this you can actually push the gingerbreak.apk to your phone without having sideloading enabled to obtain root.

you can do that with adb too

and the sideload wonder machine

thanks alot...I have root access but don't have sideload, because I do everthing with adb oO
