Vine is an interesting take on video social networks, allowing you to upload only 6 seconds of video at a time with random cuts. Being an iOS exclusive, it has exploded in popularity recently. This obviously left Android folks wondering when then app would get to us, because unlike Instagram, this is actually a unique and cool app. In a recent… Read more
Here’s an interesting photo for you. It seems that it’s an HTC DROID DNA is running Sense 5 straight off of the rumored HTC M7. While this is probably nothing more than a port (possibly proving that the M7 is similar to the DNA in many ways?), it’s still interesting to see. I can’t say I’m a fan of those bug widgets, and the clock looks very plain (a… Read more
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=SFwrE9UGie0#! It seems that Open webOS just won’t die, and we dearly hope it never does. Yet another Android device has been graced with a port of the legendary and doomed OS, and this time it is the Nexus 7. Just like every other build out there, it’s in early alpha and is not very usable. Most… Read more
Did you ever wonder if the Kindle Fire UI was suitable for phones? Did you ever want to try it out, see what it’s like to live without the Play Store? If you’re a Nexus S owner, this could be your chance. An XDA member named GalaxyUser has ported the entire Kindle Fire HD 8.9 ROM to his Nexus S and released it publicly. You should not worry about… Read more
The HTC HD2 is an absolute legend. Launched with Windows Mobile 6.5 and an absolutely massive screen size (for its time), it was an extremely popular device. However, WM6.5 did not suit people, so they hacked on Android, along with a bunch of proprietary skins. They also got Meego to run on it. And various distros of Linux, and Windows Phone 7, 7.5, and… Read more
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=pwJYIOPCYCs#! We have all seen webOS being ported to various Android devices, with major progress being made on the Galaxy Nexus. And personally, I wish these devs all the best because I adore webOS (I actually use an HP Veer as my main device sometimes) and would love to see it ported to Android… Read more
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ucnR1sYLY1I Hexxeh has been managing Chrome OS builds for a while, but we’ve never seen anything like this. This great man has ported Chrome OS to the Nexus 7. Now this has been easier since Chromebooks with ARM hardware have been released, but this is really cool and impressive nonetheless. This… Read more
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=4TZKiDIGY0U The last time we showed you webOS on the Galaxy Nexus, the most we could say is that it booted. And that was a huge feat, don’t get me wrong, but it wasn’t exactly functional. However, this video shows how much progress they’ve made. It shows off UI scaling, and besides the lag and some… Read more
We just wanted to share this image with you: Another Android device running Open webOS. If this is the future of webOS, we definitely wouldn’t mind that. Imagine two open source OSes dual booted on your phone a year from now. My love for webOS will never fade, and this could mean it will be given another chance. Android… Read more
Considering that the US Galaxy S III models have a different chipset from the international models, the leaks of Jelly Bean could not be ported. However, this changed when the T-Mobile Galaxy S III received a leak. This leak was then ported to the Verizon Galaxy S III, a phone with a completely different radio and a locked bootloader. Everything… Read more
