If you’ve been following the Canonical mobile news this year then you’d probably already know that they are working on a mobile OS for smartphones. This OS won’t be out on its own full platform until next year, but until then Canonical has released the system images (ie. developer preview) for those of us with Nexus devices to tinker with. Canonical has released Ubuntu touch, the... »
![Download: Android 4.2.2 (JDQ39) for your Nexus device here! (Occam, Takju, Yakju, Nakasi(g), Mantaray) [Updated]](http://www.omgdroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/nexusae0_SoGKPYA_thumb-350x200.png)
We have uncovered some more details about the newest Android OS update from late last night, Android version 4.2.2. We’ve also grabbed some links for you all to grab the OTA if you aren’t seeing it for your device, which seems to be a lot of you. This post will be updated until all Nexus devices have OTA links. Here’s a short list of what changes we’ve seen from the new upd... »
Do you have the Verizon variant of the Samsung Galaxy Note II? Have you ignored the OTA pushing the security patch so far? Are you rooted? If you have answered yes to all these questions, you should probably keep reading. A few days ago we told you about the OTA that Verizon was pushing included “security updates.” We also warned that it would probably come with a new bootloader. We ha... »
![[Rumor] Is This the HTC M7?](http://www.omgdroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/nexusae0_wm_IMG_20130121_105044_thumb-533x200.jpg)
You are looking at two recently leaked images of the HTC M7, this year’s first true “omg rumorz” device. Putting my head-scratching aside as to why people get so excited about a phone that uses the Sense UI, I must admit that this does look like a nice piece of kit, physically. It is close (but not exact) to the render we saw leaked the other day (see below), so this may turn out... »
![[Review] Patazon Mobile Phone Camera Lenses](http://www.omgdroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/41mGSnzE1uL._SL500_AA300_-300x200.jpg)
If you take a lot of photos, and spend a lot of time with the camera built into your phone, you’ll eventually realize that at some point you’re going to reach the limit of what that lens can do. You can only “zoom” so far without things getting distorted, and if you want a wider shot, you have to use the panorama mode, which can be a bit bothersome. Last week I came across ... »
There are reports that Samsung has pushed an OTA (I9300XXELLA) to Galaxy SIII owners in the UK on 1/2/13. The update is available by OTA or Kies. This update has been confirmed to fix the Exynos vulnerability and the “sudden death” (sudden failure of the motherboards) issue plaguing some SIII owners. There are some other smaller security fixes as well as a new bootloader. Some fear th... »
Still hanging on to that old Samsung Galaxy S II? By all means, we’re not knocking you if you are. It’s still not a bad phone, and it still gets a lot of love from the Android development community. Those of you who’ve kept tabs on the Galaxy Note II are probably familiar with the Multi-Window feature, but just in case you’ve never heard of it, it’s a built-in part of Touc... »
Toolkits are now available for the Nexus 4, Nexus 10, Nexus S, and Nexus S 4G, thanks to the never-resting minds over on XDA who have made it their mission to take all the guesswork and issues out of rooting and installing a custom recovery and making the process simple, even for those with no experience in Android hackery. If you’re like Keyan and want to learn how to do things manually, ju... »
It’s always nice to wake up to surprises, and today that’s exactly what happened when I checked the Google Play Store for awaiting app updates. Everyone’s favorite root utility, Titanium Backup has a new version out — it’s labeled 5.1.7 and it brings along with it an interesting new feature that should cut a lot of time and hassle from the process of installing a new ... »
The boys over at Android Police somehow have a system build of Android 4.2 and besides the fact of the lovely words I want to say about that, they are doing their best to give what they can to the community. This time they are coming out with the newest version of stock AOSP keyboard. This new keyboard features word-prediction and other features that we know and love, but also includes Swype like ... »
