Xperia X10 running Android 2.3 … at last

Xperia X10 owners have every right to be mad at Sony Ericsson for the lack of support and the slow software development. A few months ago, the company announced they will update the X10 to Android 2.3 and so far we had no idea how far they had gone with this. But now, thanks to a video shot at Thailand Mobile Expo 2011, we know that the update is almost ready to go. And it seems there are some bonus features – a new kernel (perhaps the SE Arc one) ,16 million-color screen and hopefully an unlocked bootloader.

The best Android tablet for under $200?

The best Android tablet for under $200?

1. What do you want the tablet for?
If you want to be running the latest and greatest releases, playing games etc etc then you’ll have to cough up a lot more than $200. If you want something to browse the web and play web videos etc, then you may well be able to get away with something around the $200 mark.

2. Work out what features you must have and what features would be nice and what you can live without.
What version of Android would be ok?

3. What size screen/resolution do you want?
The best one is a larger screen of around 10 inches, it would be better and you can feel the higher resolution means there is more you can do with it. Of course larger screen means you lose out on other features for the same price and portability is reduced.

Motorola Flipout recovery guide

This is a port of Tenfar’s Defy Recovery for Motorola Flipout, as the hijacks do not work on this model, there is used a different solution to load recovery. It does not support mount/unmount, but all other function for backup/restore of system & data works (tested). You can share usb storage to pc, or install unsigned update.zip files.

Credits for the apk goes to Tenfar, modifications to work on Flipout with hack to boot is made by Dexter_nlb. It should work on all 2.1 based releses, as long as the phone is rooted.

Controls in recovery are: VOL- & VOL+ for up/down and POWER to select. There is an addon option to run adb at bootup (root based), if you put a empty file named: “adb_bootup” on root of sdcard.

Installation instructions:

• 1. Root it (SuperOneClick )
• 2. Install FlipOutRecovery.apk
• 3. Reboot the phone once
• 4. Now enter app and press “Install recovery”
• 5. Next you can chose to reboot recovery , normal reboot or shutdown.
