Android 2.2 Froyo for magic??? Source Phandroid & Neowin

Quoting Phandroid: Link
"I was a bit skeptical when a user from 4chan claimed to be an “android trusted tester” and posted screenshots of a MyTouch 3G supposedly running Android 2.2 Froyo – afterall we know how easily those “About” screens are faked. But after some trolling (”No one cares, take this $#!* to XDA”) and small talk (”is it nice”, “hurr”) the OP follows up with a picture that has me (at least partially) believing. Well, not ONLY believing… also yearning for the arrival of 2.2..."
Quoting Neowin: Link
"As we now know, Google's next iteration of the Android operating system is rumored for release at Google I/O next month. To make matters even more interesting, Phandroid has posted some pictures showing a HTC Magic running Froyo. The images are not confirmed to be real, but assuming they are, Android 2.2 will add a new level of convenience to the Android Market.
One of the pictures shows a feature to "Allow automatic updating" within the Market. The example shown is with Google Maps. Assuming this picture is legit, Google is really taking their app store seriously and listening to the suggestions of its users. Whether this new feature will only work for specified applications (such as Google branded ones) remains to be seen. Such a feature has the potential to cause problems for users if the wrong apps are allowed to automatically update themselves. Developers could be able to force ads into their apps, as well as push malicious code."

This mean that we will be able to run Froyo on our devices??? Would this be fake or real???

who knows if its real, but i doubt we will get 2.2 before any of the big boy phones like nexus, milestone, x10 ect ect...
we'll be getting 2.1 (well 32A anyways) sometime this summer..
i wouldnt hold your breath for 2.2 ...

3.0 HoneyComb for phones at any point?

So I was just doing some research and it seems that 3.0 HoneyComb is just going to be for tablets. So my question is since it will be released for the tablets is there anyway to take the os to make a phone version or is this not possible. I know all this is premature as most phones don't even have gingerbread yet but the tabs like the g-slate from lg and the dell coming in Q2 its not that far away. Anyone have any thoughts or ideas on this topic?

I would imagine a lack of resolution would be the problem or pointlessness in using honeycomb.

If you look at my thread from a week or so ago with the honeycomb and motoxoom preview, a few members mentioned something like that, that some features would make it to a phone version of honeycomb,.... I did some googleing, but couldn't find anything. Fingers crossed though, we live in hope.

Watch the interview with Matias Duarte on Engadget. He says Honeycome is absolutely the future of all Android devices, and it will intelligently scale itself to provide the best experience per form factor.

The idea that it is only for tablets is from a very unclear line in a video that was made to emphasize the benefits of android 3 for tablets (vs anything else that anybody is running on tablets).
I.e., it means that they have added special provisions to make it good on tablets. NOT that they have taken phones out of the picture.

Awesome LOL

Just because you work at Samsung, doesn't mean you have a Samsung device. So I'm sure it's real.

Hmm, I'm sure it's bad if they are tweeting from a competitor's device for their own media messages?
Please have some sense...
You are right, maybe not all Samsung employee's have a Samsung device, but as a company procedure social media should be done from Samsung devices?

If this is true then what the people at Samsung are telling us is that " hey we are selling you crap we don't consider is better than an Iphone ".

The S3 wasn't released on May 3rd right?

The bad thing is I remember looking at this very tweet and didn't even notice

A right **** up there, bit like the footballer Ozil from Real Madrid whom Nike filed a lawsuit against after he was seen play some games wearing Adidas boots, this may not be quite as serious but given that this the official Samsung twitter (shi*ter more like)
and whoever posted this done so from an iPod or iPhone (it says both) it doesn't look very good at all.

I bet whoever did that either:
a) was not from Samsung, but from a PR firm hired by Samsung to handle social medias, such as Twitter, FB, G+, etc
b) does not work for Samsung ANYMORE!
I bet my coins on option (a) above since it has been very common for large corporations to hire firms specialized in digital medias to handle their PR. Such firms not only have control of the social media profiles, but they also create a lot of hype and buzz using fake or unsuspicious profiles and blogs.
I have dated a girl that worked in a firm like that... once I completely understood what she does I couldn't respect her anymore, so I ditched in 3.2 seconds.

It's funny! Apple puncture.

maybe dirty marketing strategies

LOL hahaha

[PROJECT] Writing proper emulators for Android

Hey guys, I know you've seen a lot of some emulators on the Play store, for all kind of old-school consoles, NES, SNES, N64... Most of them are released under GPL license, so yes, they are open source. Sadly, the UI design doesn't match with Android's holo (4.0+) style. So, my proposal is simple. Let's develop a couple of free, open source emulators, from XDA members, with a proper UI (I can help with that, I've written a couple of modern looking apps: LockIt, wRotatr, Halo)))). My weak point is JNI. I hate it. Period. I will need a lot of help to get the emulators buiding, but after I get them, you will see a lot of UX/UI improvements.
Sources can be found here. I'd like to start with Nesoid. So, is anybody here, expert on JNI development, willing to help me on this? :good:
Cheers,
D4.

Bumping this, I have archieved some UI fixes. Still not able to build native libraries.

Any news on your progress?

I haven't been able to build native libraries yet. Without that there's no emulation

How's the emulation overhaul coming along? Seems like a great project

I'm trying another UI attempt, but it's not yet working (emulation still broken, I haven't found anyone to help me with JNI)

I was actually an Alpha tester (can come out and say that officially now). It really is awesome and rather useful.
