Android OS

Cronos is one of many devs that makes ROMs for rooted Heroes, +/- uses CronosDroid and I use elelinux's(another dev) 2.2 SE RC1.

Vanilla is fine. Just needs a black bar (cominging Gingerbread) and a better dialer (Vanilla is poor compared to HTC's).

And it is quoting me.

Are you rooted?

How can you install a kernal without rooting

I've not rooted my SGS but I did install Froyo and flash the kernel, it's a lot faster now...

Also does anyone have the Desire HD? My mates got it and it lags pretty bad...obviously I haven't touched the FW cos he's thinking of sending it back so I don't wanna void his warranty.

I still think the SGS is better though...

Install SU permission and a root app.

If SUP pops up asking you to allow/deny then you are rooted.

I have the Desire HD, had it two days now, probably the best phone i've used in a long time, has your friend updated it? And try a factory reset, all the problems people are having, i haven't had any, not even the battery dying quickly, my battery has lasted from 100% for about 11 hours, and its only on about 30% now and i've been using it for demanding games such as Angry Birds, listening to music for about 20 minutes and using the internet constantly for about 7 hours, including checking emails and having one or two calls. People need to stop whinging about the phone itself, its a smartphone and the battery obviously isn't going to last long on such a high demanding phone.

When does 2.2 froyo come out for Samsung Galaxy S?

No they only got internet hooked up to their place this Friday, I've used the software and compared it to mine and it is definitely slower, no doubt about it...

I'll tell him to factory reset and update it and see if that helps, it was pretty annoying though.

I couldn't be asked waiting and having branded software so I did it myself anyway, so much less hassle.

Will that work for my contract Vodafone handset as well?

That is a really pish site.
Just clicked on the Kinect article, it's so badly worded and taken out of context

Yeah it should do, mine was T-mobile branded and a really old version as well

I think you void your warranty when you do update the FW this way but I wasn't going to be able to do an OTA update since my sim card is on O2/Tesco so I didn't hang around. What FW have you got on there atm?



It was the first site that came up on Google news

But I do know that for the SGS Froyo has only recently started coming through in the UK so I think they're right even if they can't write it properly.

I have 2.1, I think. Did the Galaxy S not ship with 2.1?

Do you not feel that the Samsung is quite.. cheap feeling? That would put me off getting it, or similar.

Speed-wise it is unmatched.. But I think I will stick with HTC for aesthetics/feel.
My contract isn't up until September anyway, who knows what we'll be seeing then

I'd consider upgrading before my contract ends, but I also want to move out next year, so we'll see

An update came up on my hero but I clicked update later. I now have no idea how to access the update. I've tried turning on/turning off/removing SIM card, but it didn't work.

Any ideas?

Menu.settings.about.check for software update.

It's the route I'd like to go down

2 years is just too long to have a Hero.

Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja aaaaaaaaaaaand idk tbh.

Whatever Android is capable of.. my Hero isn't.
