‘ROM’ Stories
The Daily Slash: December 31 2010
The Daily Slash: November 9 2010
Let me talk to you for a moment about a couple of the odder things that happened today, and this is outside the story you're going to hear about in the special "The Daily Slash" section you all know and love. First, there's a lot of ports, ROMS, and hacks flying around the smartphone world on a day-to-day, but today there was a rather important one surfacing: Android to iPhone. Like two rival gangs having a child together. No violence between them yet, but someone DID get shot today - a Galaxy Tab. In response, Angry Birds released 45 new levels, and someone records a UFO on an HTC EVO 4G. TRON throws a card into the hat with their 3rd giant trailer, iPhone's GLASSGATE ramps up, and all Apple handhelds grow a little tail. All this and more, today, on THE DAILY SLASH!

Android 2.2 Froyo for HTC HD2 is ready for mainstream [Video]
Since Microsoft and HTC basically confirmed that they were abandoning the HD2 in the move to Windows Phone 7, the developer community has instead turned their attention to getting a solid Android build on the 4.3-inch smartphone. Last we saw, Froyo was working on the HD2 but with some conspicuous issues; now, a new ROM promises an almost 100-percent functional experience, suitable for daily use.

HTC Diamond2 gets Android 2.1 with HTC Sense [Video]
Last time we saw Android running on a previously Windows Mobile device, it was the HTC Touch Pro2 and the Android 2.1 ROM from the Google Nexus One. This time around it's the turn of the HTC Touch Diamond2, and the Android 2.1 ROM from the HTC Legend, which means as well as all that Google goodness there are lashings of HTC Sense, too.

Windows Phone 7 build teased from emulator, but don’t expect an HD2 ROM
Only a day after Microsoft fleshed out Windows Phone 7 series at MIX10, we've already got a full dump of Windows Phone 7 build 7.0.0.6077. The files aren't a leak exactly; they've been extracted from Microsoft's own developer tools, also released yesterday. However, before you get your hopes up, this isn't a shortcut to getting Windows Phone 7 onto the HTC HD2.
For a start it's built for x86 processors - after all, it comes from the emulator not a phone ROM - and lacks the necessary drivers and other elements needed to control phone hardware. Even if we had all that, there's more to the HD2's incompatibility than just the number of physical buttons.

T-Mobile USA HTC HD2 launch gets video evidence
The mention of T-Mobile USA in various HD2 ROM entries seems pretty conclusive evidence that the GSM carrier is getting the HTC smartphone, but if you want more proof how about one of their splash screens? HDBlog.it have shot a video demo of the latest leaked 2.01 ROM for the Snapdragon-based device, and T-Mobile's "Stick Together" slogan is clearly shown.

Touch HD gets HTC Leo TouchFLO 2.6 and WM6.5 [Video]
While it may be getting on for a year old now, we've still got a soft-spot for HTC's Touch HD, so it's nice to see the homebrew ROM community endevoring to bring the latest software to the smartphone. XDA Developers forum member Miri has put together a combination ROM of Windows Mobile 6.5 and the new TouchFLO 3D 2.6 build fresh from pre-production HTC Leo handsets, and you can see it demonstrated after the cut.

Oppo’s Muse G11 is more than your standard PMP
If you’re looking for more out of your personal media player (PMP) but don’t exactly have the cash to throw down on an iPod Touch, the Muse G11 just might be for you. Unlike the iPod Touch you can plan Super Nintendo ROMs without the need to jailbreak or modify anything.

Android is coming, how will handset manufacturers handle the relationship between their Windows Mobile handsets and Android handsets?
Android phones are starting to slowly come out of the woodwork with no official production ready models being announced yet. However there is an event in London involving HTC on May 6th, a company that vowed to release the first Android phone. They are also known for making some of the best Windows Mobile handsets that are on the market. So the question is, how does Microsoft feel about this, and more specifically, how will manufacturers like HTC keep the peace within their own companies?
It just wouldn’t make sense for mobile phone manufacturers like HTC to make the exact same phone twice just offering your choice of Android or Windows Mobile, it would kind of be nice, but exclusive handsets tipped to one OS or the other are what really moves units. For example, would the XPERIA X1 be such a big deal if it wasn’t running the next generation of Windows Mobile software? Maybe, but I’d guess not.

iPhone firmware V. 2.0 Beta 3 – first looks
The latest update to the iPhone’s firmware beta has become available and our own Vincent Nguyen has gotten his hands on it. The build number is 5A240d, Vincent has been running the second version of the beta for a couple of weeks and he said he immediately noticed a major improvement in system stability after upgrading to this latest firmware.
New enhancements include being able to save images from safari as well as the ability to search your contacts. They also apparently fixed a lot of the bugs that were found in the second beta release.
There are also some other new features included such as more settings for your calendar and a lot of new mail settings. Vincent is apparently also toying around with PWNAGE with the iPhone Dev Team reporting that these days cracking the latest firmware is as simple as doing “a simple byte search”. So, it’s nice to see things moving along in both the official and unofficial iPhone development worlds.

Scrolling LED shirt
I have seen a lot of things with LEDs built into them, belt buckles, dog tags, even name tags (like the “Hello my name is” ones). But building that same tech directly into a t-shirt is a new one.
Sure enough it’s been don’t though, and so long as you fit into a shirt ranging from sizes small through XL and have $40 plus shipping and taxes, you can have one. You can program up to 6 messages on it too.
