Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich already ported to the Kindle Fire

A team of developers have posted their latest achievement on XDA-Developers in order to keep the ever-experimenting tech geeks happy. Yes, we’re talking about an Android Ice Cream Sandwich port for the Kindle Fire tablet.

Of course, it’s nowhere near official and it’s an early alpha version, but it’s still quite impressive. There are a lot of things that aren’t working at the moment, such as the WiFi, volume, accelerometer and light sensors, so we can’t recommend you try it out, but we expect a (somewhat) stable version soon. B. A.

Yes, we’re talking about an Android Ice Cream Sandwich port for the Kindle Fire tablet.

HTC Desire Android 2.3 update

There were a lot of rumors which said that HTC Desire will get an official update to Android 2.3. But HTC disprove them, because the model hasn’t got enough memory to fit Android 2.3 + HTC Sense interface. That is true but XDA Developers already created custom ROM‘s based on Android 2.3 with the help of new EXT partition on the SD card , so it is not impossible.

HTC Thunderbolt root guide

HTC tried to stop us. They made signed images, a signed kernel, and a signed recovery. They locked the memory. In short, the Thunderbolt is their most locked-down phone to date!

XDA-Developers fixed it for you. Unlike the root method we described before, following the instructions below will provide S-OFF, remove signature checks, and unlock eMMC. Enjoy!

Rooting rhe HTC Thunderbolt

Pros:
Root with read/write access to /system
Ability to downgrade and flash any RUU (i.e. signed firmware)

Gingerbread theme for Swype (HVGA)

Let’s face it, Swype is ugly and there are not many HVGA themes out there, so here we have a Gingerbread-inspired HVGA Swype theme.

What you need:

1. apk manager (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695701)
2. ADB pull your Swype from /data/app/
3. HxD if you want to modify the color of the tracer line (http://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/)
4. Swype GB theme files (attached — download and unzip)

How-to install:

1. in apk manager, place Swype apk into folder place-apk-here-for-modding
2. run Script.bat
3. choose 19 (-Select compression level for apks-)
   • choose 0 for compression level
4. choose 22 (-Set current project-)
   • choose the number corresponding to your Swype file
5. choose 9 (-Decompile apk-)
6. go into apkmanager > projects > [app folder name] > assets > keyboards and overwrite Swype keyboard PNGs with themed files.
7. go into apkmanager > projects > [app folder name] > res > drawable and overwrite Swype horizontal selection highlight files with themed files. (these are for landscape mode word suggestions — see screenshot#5)
8. go into apkmanager > projects > [app folder name] > res > drawable-hdpi and overwrite Swype voice input files with themed files. (see screenshot#4)
9. if you want to change the color of the Swype trail:
   • go into apkmanager > projects > [app folder name] > lib > armeabi
   • open libSwypeCore.so in HxD
   • CTRL+F (search) for DD A2 5B
   • find a color you want to use and note it’s HEX value. (IIRC, I used #ffba00)
   • switch values around so that it is B-G-R (mine would be 00 BA FF)
   • replace values and save
   • a .bak file will be created in the directory — delete it
10. when you are finished with all mods, go back to console window and choose 11 (-Compile apk-)
    • choose Y (-is this a system apk-)
    • followed by N (-would you like to copy over any additional files-)
11. choose 12 to sign your apk
12. signed apk is in place-apk-here-for-modding folder
13. uninstall your previous version of Swype before installing this one!

NoDo Windows Phone 7 build leaked over XDA-Developers

XDA member Football has released a leaked rom RUU from the HTC Schubert, which apparently includes the long and awaited NoDo build:

RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe_1.69.401.01_Radio_5.54.09. 21_22.33b.50.10_Signed

The rom seems to be flashable to other devices as well, but by no easy means. For instance, in order to flash to the HTC HD7 and the Touch Pro 7, it seems that you need a generic (unbranded) version of the device, on top of a special USB cable and a gold card.
