Samsung hires Android hacker ‘Cyanogen’
While some device vendors are stockpiling patents, others are hunting down talent, as competition in the mobile handset space heats up. It was revealed this week that Samsung Mobile has hired one of the homebrew market’s most notorious and successful Android hackers, Steve ‘Cyanogen’ Kondik.
Kondik is best known as the creator of the CyanogenMod for Android, an after market customized firmware bringing new features and functionality to the Android platform.
There’s no information yet on whether Samsung is interested in CyanogenMod, or more in Kondik himself, but the programmer and hacker has said the move will allow him to use his talents in “the real world,” while development of CyanogenMod continues as usual.
The Cyanogen firmware caters to more than 40 different Android devices and brings such functionality as native theming, Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC), an OpenVPN client, USB tethering, and claims increased performance and reliability over official firmware releases. Kondik has on occasion received input from Google on the development of the platform and as of mid-July it had been downloaded and installed on more than half a million devices.

I am starting to see these watches pop up for sale, and I dont see a lot of information or reviews about them. There appears to be quite a few different models with various design capabilities, including some androids.

I picked up a Burg 13 on the Bay for cheap to possibly review but I wanted to see if anyone has had any experience with the watch or the company?
Disclaimer: Not affiliated with this company in any way. I think its strange that a smart watch is being produced in Switzerland. Figured the quality must be pretty good.

I have this for 2 weeks now. over all good looking watch and good build quality. Real Watch is a bit thicker than rendering image. But its acceptable size. Screen is bright with good viewing angle. watchband also is easy to swap.
Notification, Heart rate monitor , pedometer all functional.
Fundowear connected ok but Fundowear seems has short ranger than other Bluetooth devices software. Pre-installed watch faces look good but wish have more to choose from. or have some sdk let user created more.
There is a usb mass storage mode you can copy some mp3 files into watch, but cant use it set your own ringtone, also vibration alert is a bit weak.
Battery life with pedometer notification on can last 1.5 day.
Future firmware update i assume is not gonna happen as for all the MT2502c based smartwatch?

The billionaire chairman of China’s LeEco
has admitted his technology empire is running out of cash
to sustain a headlong rush into businesses from electric cars to smartphones.
“Our fundraising ability isn’t strong,” Jia wrote. “The scale of our external fundraising had trouble satisfying the demands of our rapid expansion.”

Is
LeEco
really in trouble?
North American operations lead Brian Hui told the audience at TechCrunch Beijing today
that things aren’t as dire as the letter made them seem. “If you read the letter, it’s not about whether it’s sustainable or not sustainable,”
Hui said of LeEco’s growth. “It’s not about running out of money. It’s how you can spend your money wisely…
Hui also addressed rumors that suppliers for LeEco’s smartphone business had not been paid,
saying that LeEco was not carrying debt to its suppliers. “We will always want to sustain our trust,” he said.
“We still maintain a very good relationship with them.” During the U.S. launch of its smartphone two weeks ago,
LeEco says all of the phones sold in a little over four hours but declined to say exactly how many units were sold.

Five lucky participants are gonna receive the OPPO Product Ambassadors Swag Bag (which will be released in mid-June).
This thread is only for the conversations about sharing your home screen or lock screen. Please adhere to the XDA rules when you participate.

The biggest prize you guys could give us is the possibility to unlock the bootloader. I know you guys are only ambassadors, but why promote an unlockable phone in an "all things custom" forum? As far as I know ambassadors should represent the brand in other places but also bring the consumers needs/wishes back to the brand. Please, this could a big thing to be able to continue upgrading our phones even after the 3-years support period is gone. That would also be a huge sales advertisement!
