hey everyone, im new to xda forums so i would like to say hello, anyway, i was wondering how the 2.3 gingerbread for the samsung captivate runs, is it laggy? does it have any defects, cause i have seen videos that have shown some of the buttons not working on the phone but then again that was only the beta version of the 2.3 update, also i have been looking for i dont know how long but i cant seem to find a root for my captivate, and i have been looking for a while, my phone is on 2.2 right now, and i would like to update it and root it for optimal usage, thanks for your help, and im looking forward to being a part of xda
I know this is too early to ask and there are only speculations now.. but i am still asking this question if anyone know anything about this..
I hear that android icecream sandwich is coming with new interface and no h/w buttons support. Does it mean that Sensation cannot be updated with Android sandwich officially?
*insert n00b video linkage here for great justice*
But seriously, it's WAY too early to know anything about ICS.
Google-Android's Andy Rubin has said himself that they dont make "hard prerequisites" for manufacturers. Like the same thing people were saying about past versions of android. I believe this will be the same.
Everybody isn't ready for a button-less future. However it is a nice option for those who want it. Just like Android is now on Clamshell/Flip phones now and people said that couldn't be done. Just my opinion.
Hellot there i just received a new tablet for christmas abd i wanted to learn some new things.
First oglf all i have to admit it that i am new to this android scene. I am a fan of apple but wheb it comes to tablets i guess abdroid has an advantage. whatever this is not the purpose of my message.
What i wabted to know is this: I received an Le Pan tc 970 but i saw they got the new Le Pan 2ut with the honeycomb support . My question is: is it worth rerurning this current tablet to buy the new one just because it has a new firmware on it? Or the hobeycomb isnt that much of a deal abd I should keep this one? Any advantages to buy the ther one in comparasion to this ine except it is new? Does it have much more feature than 2.2?
If not I know abdroid is the world of customizations... but i dont seem to get it. Do i need to root my system in order to makee tose customizatiobs available? I didnt ser that much themes for this tablet... also it doesbt even have its own section... Is it because the tablet isnt that popular?
Finally could i have some few threads to get me started? I kniw pretty much abiut apple... but Andriid is completly new to me!
Thanks! And sorry for all of the mistakes... The keyboard makes my mind go nuts... it is too big!
Honeycomb (Android 3.0) is newer version than froyo (2.2).
If you can get one with Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0) then it is worth returning it
and get a new one.
Most of the tablets are running Froyo or Gingerbread (Android 2.3) .
Honeycomb is closed source, google has not released its software to public.
All other versions as of now are open source AOSP (Android Open Source Platform)
ask them whether it can be upgraded to ICS (4.0)
Well honeycomb is kinda better for tablets since it has a tablet ui but now since they released ics you should check if your tablet is getting the ics update which has a bunch of new features and if it doesn't i think you should get one with the new os.
Right! Look for ics update. It is much better
I don'T think there are many tables with ICS...? Am I wrong? And what about a starter guide?
Hello Ladies and Gents,
I am planning on getting a Motoactv in the next couple of days - using it for a cycling computer. Mainly I want one though as it can be rooted and I reckon it will be pretty damn cool to have an android device on your wrist
Anyways, I have read quite a lot of threads about modding the software on the devices but does anybody know if anybody (or if it is even possible) to upgrade the RAM? It currently only has 256mb, but would be amazing if this could be upgraded
Just an idea.
Cheers
Hi guys, I'm a bit of a newbie to both xda and android development, but this is actually my first android device received second-hand from my dad. I've been able to get around and flash Hellfire Sandwich 1.9, which is what I've been on for a while, but I just wanted to move on to a more recent android version. I also planned to improve my phone so that it can play games more efficiently and perform better overall.
Of course, the problem is that the support for this phone is dead because of Cyanogenmod giving up on this device as well, along with the fact that it's been 5 years since the phone was released. So I was just wondering if there was some sort of trick to convert the G2x into an O2x, allowing me to download some roms and stuff to help this seriously old device and get the most out of it. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
