One of the most amazing aspects of owning an Android device is that, even though your device may be a little out-dated and may not ever receive an official update to the latest flavor of the operating system, the development community is always hard at work to bring as much of it as they can to all of those legacy devices that have been left out in the cold by their manufacturers. Sometimes gems c... »
Hardkernel’s ODROID-X is an up coming mini-PC with some serious functionality packed inside. It comes with Android’s Ice Cream Sandwich OS, which can easily be swapped out for for an Ubuntu 12.04, or some other Linux distro. It boasts the same processor as the Samsung Galaxy S III, a quad-core 1.4GHz Samsung Exynos 4412, 1GB RAM, micro HDMI port, SD card slot, 6 USB ports, a LAN port,... »
Ah, what exciting times it is to be an Android device owner, eh? Especially if you happen to own an Amazon Kindle Fire, like I do. Remember when we told you the Jelly Bean source code was released? Of course you do. It was only about a day ago. Well, thanks to XDA Senior Member shravbits, it looks like work has begun on an early alpha port of Android 4.1 for the online shopping giant’s 7-inc... »
Well hoody freakin’ hoo. If this isn’t an awesome find, I don’t know what is. For those of you looking to get a taste of Jelly Bean without actually getting the update itself, I suggest you listen up. The good folks from Beansoft have managed to port the keyboard from Android 4.1 to any device running Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.3) or better. Unfortunately, it looks like ther... »
Yesterday was a huge day in the Android community. As I’m sure you know by now, the Jelly Bean source code was officially released, which means nothing but full steam ahead for developers looking to work on Android 4.1. As I’m sure you are all anxious to learn about the progress of CM10, I figured I’d drop you a quick post to bring you up to speed on what’s going on behind ... »
Behold the THD N2-A, and Android Ultrabook with a keen resemblance to the Macbook. The exterior has the same 13-inch display embedded in a wedge-shaped chassis, the flat-chiclet style keys above the full-size touchpad, even the MagSafe charging port is there. For a mere $149, the THD N2-A comes with 1.2-GHz Cortex A10 processor, 2GB of RAM, and a 4200 mAh battery rated for about 8 hours of life. I... »
This might seem like stale bread since the leak dumped 800+ megabytes a while back but official source code from the Samsung Galaxy S III is mondo good for developers as now they can feel more assured of the content they port. This could mean a slew of new traits to the various ROMS out there as well a little Samsung Touchwiz UI for those not so gaga about AOSP. Anyways, this should keep develop... »
![[Accessory Review] Amzer Shellster Cover case](http://www.omgdroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/IMAG00261-533x200.jpg)
Hey everyone, just like Tony, I’ve got an Amzer Shellster case to review, thank you Amzer. I know you all like cases and would hate it if your 500, 600, or 700$ phones drop out of your hands and hit concrete. A few tears came from my eyes when I dropped my precious “Nexi” when she was naked :’( Anyways the Amzer Shellster Cover case is exactly what is sounds like, a shell and holster combined into... »
As an HTC Amaze 4G owner, it always makes me happy to see development progress for the device. It took quite some time, but now that Ice Cream Sandwich is unofficially available (until tomorrow when T-Mobile pushes out the official update) the community is actively working on a number of different projects that aim to make this phone even more Amaze-ing that it already is. Today, I got a heads up ... »
According to the latest figures released on the Android Developers website, it looks like Ice Cream Sandwich is slowly starting to pop up on more and more devices these days. Of course, with a handful of OEMs that have already released official updates for certain devices and a hardcore development community that has managed to unofficially port the OS to an even larger number of devices, this com... »
