Our story

It started with a bricked phone.

Back in 2012, Saeed Ashif Ahmed, now our Editor-in-Chief, tried to install Android 3.0 Honeycomb on his Samsung Galaxy Ace Duos using a custom ROM. It went wrong, and the phone stopped working.

He searched the internet for a way to bring it back, and along the way became skilled at flashing ROMs. Soon he was writing tutorials of his own.

He was a student with no money for a website, so in January 2013 he started MyTrickSource, a free blog on Blogspot. He wrote 99 posts there in 2013 alone, and his guide to updating the Galaxy Ace Duos is still online today.

Once he had saved some money, he built Droidfeats on WordPress: the site you are reading now. It went live in November 2017 with well-written guides and tutorials that are easy to follow, even for beginners, and that keep your device unharmed.

Today we also cover Android news, apps and games, and our Tips & Games section brings exclusive gaming content: coupon codes, tier lists and other gaming tips.
