It's only been 12 long months since ESRI first announced it was working on its Android application similar to the iOS app which has been out for well over a year. I had a chance to play with it the other day and was really impressed. I loaded a local data-set from a feature class geodatabase into my ArcGIS.com cloud account. Next I signed … [Read more...]
It has been a while in the making, but the Motorola DROID X can officially get some CyanogenMod action. @Cvpcs was finally able to boot a truly custom CM 7 ROM onto the DROID X earlier this week, and now after some major kinks have been worked out he has released a beta version for everyone to enjoy. There isn't much else to say, so get to the … [Read more...]
We didn't believe it was true until we saw the video, but it looks like CyanogenMod 7 has been ported over to the Motorola DROID X. CyanogenMod is a team of, what we consider, some of the best Android developers on the planet. They create stock ROMs for dozens of devices, and they do it simply to show off their skills and help the community. Many … [Read more...]
We've all been waiting for this day to arrive, and now it has finally gotten here. Last night the Motorola DROID X "soak test" went official and is now hitting Verizon's update fan all over. The update will bring your device up to Android 2.3.3, which is not the latest build of Gingerbread but pretty close to it. You'll also get an enhanced version … [Read more...]
I'm guessing the majority of us don't have the 5 phones that are compatible with the just released Netflix app. It looks like the devs over at XDA weren't pleased with that, so they decided to port the app over to a couple of our favorite smartphones: The DROID X, DROID 2, and original DROID. Just because you have these phones though, doesn't mean … [Read more...]
There have been a few Gingerbread builds leaked for the Motorola DROID X for quite some time now, which only leads many to believe that the DX will be sporting some official Android 2.3 soon. If you believe P3Droid, who has been part of the team leaking all these Gingerbread builds, then you should be happy to hear that the latest GB build by … [Read more...]
Things could be getting very exciting in the world of custom ROMs soon, especially for Motorola DROID X and DROID 2 owners. @nenolod, a community dev who has been working on cracking the bootloader since day one, has possibly found the key. It might be hard to believe, but when minutes later Motorola sends nenolod a C&D letter, that's a pretty … [Read more...]
Remember the Honeycomb boot animation we saw a couple weeks ago? Yeah, well we were hoping it wouldn't take long for somebody to rip it out of the Motorola XOOM and port it to one of the DROID family devices. Lucky for DROID X users, you now have that boot animation. Tntdroid over at the Android Central Forums hooked us up with a flashable ZIP file … [Read more...]
I'm surprised that this has already been in the works. When Gingerbread was finally released, we knew that the DROID X would get it sometime. We also assumed that it would be quite a while before Motorola even started making Gingerbread builds though. The very resourceful guys over at My Droid World were able to sneak a Gingerbread build for the … [Read more...]
We're thinking by now that if you haven't switched over to Verizon yet, it's because you're waiting for one the many phones coming out this year. If you've just been waiting for the best price to get a DROID X though, now couldn't be a better time. When you head over to Dell you will notice they are selling the DROID X to new customers completely … [Read more...]
