While we are still waiting for a stable Gingerbread build for the HTC Thunderbolt from our devs side, we now have an early build leaked straight from HTC. The devs over at XDA have already made a version available for flashing, but this is definitely not for daily use. All this really means is that HTC is at least starting to work on updating … [Read more...]
ROMs are already pretty customized, but sometimes that just isn't enough for us. We want our favorite launcher, browser, overclocked kernel, and our favorite color themed into the ROM right out of the box. With the just released Blackhole ROM 1.0, you get all those choices and more. The developer of the ROM, sonofskywalker3, describes this as "the … [Read more...]
Who said that phones like the HTC Thunderbolt wouldn't be getting full Sense 3.0? Well, HTC did, but that doesn't mean that the developer community won't try to make it happen. There is currently a Work in Progress(WIP) ROM available for the Thunderbolt that is a basic port of the Sensation ROM that has been floating around for a couple of days. … [Read more...]
We all knew that Gingerbread would stripped apart and brought back to life by our Android devs soon enough, and now we can reap the rewards. Cyanogen has just let all of us know through his twitter account that Nightlies for Gingerbread hasve started up on all devices. Sorry all you DROID X/2/Pro users, you'll probably have to wait for the … [Read more...]
We know the DROID Pro isn't going to get the same love as most of the other DROID phones. It's marketed as a business phone, not as entertaining as the DROID X, plus we don't want to mess up a work phone by rooting it. It looks like the creaters of Fission ROMs for the DROID 2 and DROID X decided to give the Pro a little time and built the first … [Read more...]
[poll id="8"] We've already shown how quickly it takes for some great developers to make some amazing AOSP Gingerbread ROMs for multiple phones, including the DROID and DROID Incredible. Even if you don't have one of these great phones, you probably do have an Android device that has a Gingerbread ROM. Sorry to all the DROID X and DROID 2 users, … [Read more...]
We knew as soon as Gingerbread hit the AOSP (Android Open Source Project) we would start seeing the community do it's amazing work. Already there are dozens of Gingerbread ROMs that can be run for multiple phones.

MattG4542 recently made the first AOSP ROM for the DROID 2 and has now made the same ROM available for the DROID X. Just to be clear, and AOSP ROM is different than any other ROM made yet for the DROID X because it is made for Google source code, not the MotoBLUR OTA that comes stock with the phone. This is another great job by Matt who … [Read more...]
I hope everyone had a great turkey yesterday. I said that we wouldn't be posting anything back until Saturday, but when I heard the news I couldn't wait. MattG4542, the creator of the first ever DROID 2 ROM and a good friend of ours, just released the first ever AOSP ROM for the DROID 2, Unleashed 3.0. For anyone that doesn't know, an AOSP ROM … [Read more...]

It was made for the Desire and Nexus One, but people have been wanting this so bad that it has also been ported to the DROID and DROID Incredible. There is a lot featured in this … [Read more...]
