How much simpler could it be? Thank you [...]

Acer is currently testing Android 2.2 builds for their Acer Liquid and Android@MoDaCo forum member LIQUID_USER has gotten his hands on a test build for the device.

O2 has begun rolling out Android 2.1 to their Dell Streak users today as we have received multiple reports from users receiving the update.

Friday has arrived and so has the Dell Streak for AT&T. Unfortunately, the Dell Streak is shipping with Android 1.6 which there is no excuse for this old firmware to be shipping on such a new device.

The HTC Wildfire launched back in May as HTC’s first budget device aimed at Social fans and although the device lacks luster in certain qualities, like size and resolution, the device still holds an appeal.

The Nexus One is no exception, especially with Cyanogen by your side.  But what are you to do when you have rooted your phone with a custom ROM on the Nexus and need to send it back because something happened?

Would you like to root your HTC Desire? Good, I thought you would. Modaco has released a root guide for all you HTC Desire owners.

MoDaCo has released another version of the Desire Custom ROM for the HTC/Google Nexus One.  Alpha 12 is the latest release and I have to say it’s running very very nice.  One majot issue I’m seeing right now is the battery life drains very quickly.  There are a coupe of small issues, like the Flash [...]

I’ve been running the MoDaCo HTC Sense (Desire) Alpha 7 for the last day and I have to say that it amazingly nice, smooth and fairly stable.  There are some minor issues but nothing that distracts from the overall experience. Paul over at MoDaCo has done an amazing job with this ROM and I just [...]

Android developer MoDaCo has just released his alpha Desire ROM for the Nexus One. This is an ALPHA ROM, not even BETA, so as MoDaCo has advised, you probably won’t want to make this your main ROM but it’ll give you an idea of what you can look forward to in the future. From the [...]
