Nexus One is Evolving Thanks To The Modding Community

The mod community has been hard at work hacking new features into the Nexus One and they are picking up steam as they learn the in’s and out’s of the device. Even before it was released it was rooted and only 2 months later there are many different options that has been added from custom ROM’s to trackball lighting. The list of features added by the mod community is growing daily. Out of the box the Nexus One was supposed to be able to have multicolored trackball lights that you could customize for alerts. This was removed by Google before it was released leaving us with only a white flashing light for all notifications. Now you can have a different light for messaging, email and there is even a blue light for incoming twidroid tweets. This mod is in the early stage of development but is fully functional and will continue to be improved. The stock live wallpapers is even in the process of being overhauled. Click here to view the embedded video. Last but certainly not least, the custom ROM scene. Modaco has recently brought Sense UI to the Nexus which gives it the functionality of the unreleased and highly sought after, HTC Bravo. Sense UI brings all of HTC custom goodies to the Nexus One and Flash 10.1. And there is Cyanogen, he is the most popular Android modder and has brought his talents to the Nexus One. He has added lots of features to the Nexus such as, Flac support, extra RAM, wired tethering and now the ability to rotate 360 degrees. Maybe this was Google’s plan all along, to release a device that is easy to root so the community can aid them in adding new features. If so their strategy has worked perfectly and the community has hit the ground running in their effort to bring us the best device possible and we are all grateful to them for that.

So, we went on the lookout for an app backup solution in the Market and came across AppManager. AppManager is free and allows the user to backup a single app or all apps installed at one time to SD. It also allows you the options to launch, uninstall, or search the market for the application again.

Dell Mini 5: Awesome new details emerge

A few weeks ago, Androinica had a short post about the Dell Mini 5 tablet. We speculated that the machine would be a competitor to the iPad, but details were scarce and Michael Dell only confirmed a few features in the brief video shot by Tech Crunch. These included the fact that the machine would

Rumor: Google Nexus One coming to a Verizon near you, March 23

According to Neowin and “sources close to the matter” (ie. un-named Google employee) the Google Nexus One will be dropping on Verizon Wireless on March 23, possibly during CTIA. This is by no means confirmed by Verizon or Google.

What Android Phones Will Get Flash 10.1?

The entire Android-loving public has been waiting for Flash 10.1 support on our beloved Android phones like the Droid and the Nexus One. Some lucky users of select handsets like the HTC Hero and Motorola Devour are graced with Flash Lite, but that has its fair share of limitations. So as we desperately wait for Adobe to bring Flash onboard, who will and won’t be getting a ticket to ride? A post on the Adobe forums suggests it won’t be decided exactly how we thought: Hi all, You can expect the final release for Android to be available mid-year. All Android devices that meet our minimum s/w and h/w requirements will be supported. Unfortunately, I cannot say a lot more publicly about our port to the Android platform at this time. As for WinMo, we have made the tough decision to defer support for that platform until WinMo7. This is due to the fact that WinMo6.5 does not support some of the critical APIs that we need. As for your other questions: * Yes, we will support the Motorola Milestone. * No, the HTC Hero will not be supported b/c it does not have the correct Anroid OS version and it’s chipset is not powerful enough. We require a device with an ARM v7 (Cortex) processor. Examples include the Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets and TI OMAP3 series. Best regards, Antonio Antonio is an Adobe employee and this suggests something different than what we may have assumed – just because a handset is upgraded to Android 2.0 DOES NOT mean it will be eligible for Flash 10.1 and in fact, many phones won’t be able to enjoy Flash 10.1 regardless of OS updates. In addition to requiring Android 2.0, each phone will also require a minimum processor spec. Taylor from AndroidAndMe did a little research and made a list of US phones that, based on this information (and assuming its true), will not ever have Flash 10.1 capabilities: Sprint Hero Sprint Moment T-Mobile G1 T-Mobile myTouch 3G T-Mobile CLIQ T-Mobile Behold II Verizon Droid Eris Verizon Devour What a shame, what a shame. Hopefully they’ll at least release it to those ready, willing and able by the first half of 2010 as they’ve promised. And hopefully we can have some more clarification on exactly what phones will and won’t enjoy Flash in the future. Afterall, there are people making purchase decisions NOW based on what features their phone might have in a few months from now. We just want some transparency so we can make informed buying decisions! [ Adobe Forum via PocketNow , Thanks Reese!]

CDMA Nexus One Passes FCC

Lending more credibility to the potential March 23rd launch of Verizon’s Nexus One is the fact that it has recently passed the FCC – or at least a Verizon compatible version has passed. Tremendously good news for non-hardware-keyboard fans waiting on Big Red to release the current beast of the bots. If it all comes together, you’ve only got a tad more than 3-weeks of waiting.

Male Android Cheapskates To Dominate Mobile Market

Check out the latest Admob reports and a few glaring characteristics will jump out at you – we’ll point them out so you don’t have to sift through the entire report: (1) Android users love their free apps (2) The Market has a lot of Mandroids browsing And this is exactly what Android’s detractors would say – Android is for geeky guys and penny pinchers. Instead, I’d say it suggests the success of the Open Source mentality and the Laissez-faire approach on market regulation. Google has provided an arena where free solutions that are equal or close to paid solutions are widely available. That doesn’t mean developers can’t make bank – go ahead and support your apps with advertising and sponsorships – if I’m getting an app for free I have no problem seeing ads, knowing that it’s what compensates the devs. What I thought was the MOST impressive from the report was something I’ve been saying all along: Android will dominate the iPhone by sheer power in numbers. And don’t tell me about “quality over quantity” because there are PLENTY of people who think the Droid and Nexus One both surpass the iPhone in awesomeness. And, there are many others who wouldn’t prefer any of the 3, but instead something like the Hero, CLIQ or Eve. Choices, choices, choices. Another thing made obvious by the above chart is that I have superior photoshop skills. [Via Admob , PDF Report ]
