The Android thread

200GB cap for mobile? Why even have one at that point? That even covers usage for most homes.

 

[IceBone]

At max I need 5 days to use that with my home connection with torrents running 24/7. That's either a mistake and he meant MB or his ISP is really really stupid.

Another note about the Pyramid; it better have bluetooth 4.0, as should all bluetooth enabled devices.

I was talking about my normal internet, my mobile is 1gb

Angry Birds Rio, sometimes the golden fruit is directly above you... which doesn't work on my phone.

yeah except I have to go to work all day and I simply do not have time to download that much or watch/play, so to me it's totally irrelevent having much more mb (which are available)

HTC Incredible S has signed bootloader.

Well that ruins things a bit...

 

[IceBone]

Thunderbold 4G has the same one and it's been rooted.

This thread is a lot funnier if you know what "root" is Australian slang for. :lol:

Hmm... Google is refusing to release the source for Honeycomb... Come on, Google, don't go back on your word.

 

[leviathan]

They will release it, as soon as it's polished enough not to embarass them when they do. The Xoom build seems quite unfinished, judging by many reviews.

 

[anTo]

apparently the x10 will be upgraded to gingerbread later this year @@

HTC Evo 3D
It is a gimmick... but looks great. Also loving the new Sense.

I hope when all the HTC phones are upgraded to 2.3, they'll get the new Sense. Well, they will one way or another.

 

[thevictor390]

Sense was great back on Android 2.1, but now on 2.3 I really don't miss it much.... Especially since Cyanogen seems to have found some hack to get Flash working (maybe ported the HTC Flash Player?). I'm not sure Sense adds all that much to the current Android versions. I do miss the widgets but of course there are plenty of others to go around.

EDIT: maybe it's the fact that Cyanogen is the closest I've ever been to "stock Android." I really don't know exactly which features are attributed to generic Gingerbread or not...

 

[smib]

I want CM now, but I don't know what to do about my borked recovery. Maybe there's some way to adb it on there?

 

[IceBone]

smib: I suggest you go to irc.freenode.net #android-root and ask there. That's how I got my stuff sorted.

 

[smib]

Is it supposed to require registration? I can't even see motd.

 

[IceBone]

The official #android channel does, but #android-root is FFA.
