Weeks before the Galaxy S3 has hit the market, users can already try out the device’s unique software feature on their own Android smartphone. After Google released the instructions manual for their new flagship, it was XDA-Developer’s turn to get a hold on the device’s software and make all the goodies available for installation for other Android devices. One of the most interesting of the features has to be, of course, the S-Voice virtual voice assistant. After a bit of tweaking from the developers over at XDA, the application is now available for all devices, running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

The service itself is actually said to be quite good – it’s based on the Vlingo application, which is available at the Google Play Store, but it has, of course, been modified.

Behind the stage – the Nokia 808 PureView

The Nokia 808 PureView is going to hit the market later this months and the Finns have decided, that it’s time to remind us the most important stuff about the device. After all, they have been working on the smartphone for 5 years and the PureView technology, which won the TIPA Best Imaging Innovation award, is going to become a vital part of the company’s future smartphones, especially the Lumia series.

To do so Nokia have published an 8 minute video, which has been shot entirely using the phone. The clip gives us information, through interviews, about the path from the initial idea – sketched on a napkin, to the final device. Throughout the years, Nokia had to develop their own photo sensor and the technologies, needed for its production, because the available ones turned out to be too limited for the company’s needs.

This is a port (coming from HTC Aria) of CyanogenMod 9 Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich for HTC HD Mini by munjeni @ XDA based on WinSuk stuff.

Note: HTC HD Mini and HTC Aria have small amount of internal memory needed for the Ice Cream Sandwich, so there is a lot of crashes after some time and the ROM is not the most stable for daily usage, but anyway works great. To get it running good, you need to enable zram, set proper frequency and kill some apps (set long press on back or use an memory killer).

What works:
