1080p screen and the much faster CPU/GPU would be the major points i'd say...
HTC's design aesthetic reached a high point with the Sensation and has been going down hill ever since.
The HD2 would like a word.
rick, as long as you can get into the bootloader (which you can, given that it bootloops, thus the bootloader tries to boot something), you did not fuck up. There's always "wipe everything and flash stock ROM via fastboot".
What kind of binaries are you talking about? Once you compile any source code, you end up with binaries, so what you flash always is binary. Thus, I guess you are talking about some special kind of binaries. As far as I know, the RIL is one of the things that normally comes as a binary even in the source code for custom ROMs, as do some hardware drivers. In both cases that's because no source code is made available by the manufacturer.So, im a custom rom noob, what's so important about binaries, are they the basis of the roms that are made, or are they patched into roms? how does it work
These are closed-source hardware drivers. See here.Whatever these binaries are http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/01/android-4-2-2-jelly-bean-binaries-download/
I like the idea, and even more so the idea of having an e ink and regular lcd on one side, so you don't have to flip it over, i bet it's possible somehow
