History

On September 2011, maxis terminated its popular PTT mobile phone service. The following year saw android tablets and phones (gingerbread) flooded the market. By the end of 2012 the price of android devices had dropped significantly and within reach of the mass.
The initial 4 members were ustz zul, bro razif, bro zul and bro lan shared their enthusiasm in android device. Members invested in android tablets and android phone as the price got cheaper. The four members met regularly and discussed topics like rom upgrade, rooting device and testing of new apps as they appeared.
Back then android apps were still lacking compared to its IOS counterpart. Hence more time can be spent on testing of new app introduced to the market. Of all the apps tested, zello was the most appreciated as it rejuvenates the experience of ptt phone. All members then were ex-user of the discontinued maxis ptt mobile phone service. zello then became the must have app on android device for all members of the android team. The channel 'Android Team TBR' was officially launched in March 2013.
As the years gone by, more and more apps appeared and later on whatsapp and telegram were adopted as supplementary or supports to zello. When the mobile internet connections were too bad they serve as secondary communication means.
The word TBR stands for Taman Bunga Raya since all members reside there. As android team grows bigger and members now come from all over Malaysia, from Langkawi to Johor Bahru and even Sarawak. The word TBR is now rewording as 'The Best Room' for chatting and making friends.
