I thought we're talking about the phone here

btw, I could do with some baby wallets running around, so long as they have spare change

My phone an get so hot while using it sometimes that I doubt a battery deciding to burn up would make any difference to my pocket.

@ Deathstrike take a read at the CarrierIQ thread, still thankful for HTC?

well i just read it...


i'm still thankful for HTC. but even more thankful for cyanogenmod ASOPs are not affected by this.

Google has a awesome special going on right now:

Google Android Celebrates 10 Billion Downloads With 10-Cent Apps

Google said Tuesday that customers had downloaded more than 10 billion apps in the Android Market. To celebrate, Android users will be able to download 10-cent apps over the next 10 days.

Google, whose name implies a fixation on exponents of 10, didn't say whether 10 10-cent apps will be offered for 10 days. But on Tuesday—yes, Google will sell 10 apps for the 10-cent price: Asphalt 6 HD, Color & Draw for Kids, Endomondo Sports Tracker Pro, Fieldrunners HD, Great Little War Game, Minecraft, Paper Camera, Sketchbook Mobile, Soundhound Infinity, and Swiftkey X.

...

Follow the link for more details. I bought Paper Camera, Great Little War Game and Soundhound. Cant make up my mind about the others .

[DeathStrike]

Thanks for the link

[Anakha56]

No worries, I really love the Paper Camera its effects are awesome!

Darky OTA is off the chain. Just updated my kernel, baseband, theme and some other stuff, all OTA. Very useful. These guys are definitely leading the ROM scene on the GS2 IMO...

[Anakha56]

Yeah I am loving it as well. Just waiting for KK5 to be customized by Darky guys and I will flash. Probably happen next week Monday .

[DeathStrike]

Woot! more 81c apps. It seems the 10 apps. are available for that one day only at $0.10

but for 10 days they will be having different apps for $0.10.

Day 2: https://market.android.com/details?id=a ... IozTpMY%3D

[Anakha56]

Yup I am loving this special. Picked up quite a lot of nice stuff. Just one problem... I can see Pam stealing my phone a lot more often now .

[GreyWolf]

Android, now endorsed by the big man in the sky.

[Anakha56]

@Ryan (& everyone else) see the newest app from Google? Google Currents:

Meant for the US only but follow the link and you can get the XDA thread for the International fix .

Works like Flipboard.

[DeathStrike]

OMW. thanks Anakha. was so bummed when i heard it was only US

[KALSTER]

Only vaguely on topic: I freaking hate the Samsung Galaxy Y pro advert on 5Fm.

[GreyWolf]

Only vaguely on topic: I freaking hate the Samsung Galaxy Y pro advert on 5Fm.

yes, the Samsung ads are pretty bad.

But the xperia ones are even worse. I think Sony spent a grand total of R10 on those ones.

[Spicy-McHaggis]

i have the Asus Iconia A500 with android 3.0 honeycomb...forgot it in uk at my parents place

[ryanrich]

Damn Google Currents is bad. On the iPad anyway. Flipboard is faster, prettier, just better in every sense...

[Anakha56]

@ryan Unfair comparison dont you think? How long has Flipboard been out when compared to Currents? Your Apple fanboism is starting show its true colours again...

[DeathStrike]

hi guys,

i was wondering if anyone knows of a good Android 4 rom. i have a HTC Desire HD


also i notice that rom manager for android is not really updating it's list of roms.
so why would people want to pay for it?

thanks
ds

[Anakha56]

No idea about a ROM for your phone. Try the different types on XDA?

As for ROM Manager I dont use it. So sorry cant assist there.

As a list
http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/hiner/ ... -container

A list of widgets that will supposedly make iPhone users jealous. They are seriously cool though

[Anakha56]

Tribz all I can say is meh. I have Beautiful Widgets which is lovely but as for the rest on that page meh...

[Tribble]

Perhaps you are just fussier than I am I use a few of those and love them. Really enjoy Pulse

[DeathStrike]

Yip i use pulse as my main rss reader these days. my google reader has become so bloated.
