got me an Archos 101 8th Gen on the way

cheapo tablet i know but will keep me going for a year or so till I can get me a good one

plan is to have it for Web Browsing and IM so should be perfect for the job

Has anyone got either Android 2.3.5 or HTC Sense 3.5 updates?

I'm asking because my Sensation is still on 2.3.5 and Sense 3, whereas the missus got a new XL model and it came with the above installed. I've checked for updates and it shows nothing. We're both on Vodafone.

Cyanogen yeah!

My Sensation is still on Android 2.3.4 and Sense 3 with no updates available. Mine is a sim free version on 3. I have a feeling that they aren't issuing the latest update and the next one available will be when Android 4 goes live for it sometime before the end of March. I'm guessing Sense 3.5 will be made available at the same time.

I'm planning on getting one after the my wedding in March. I'm selling my original Asus Transformer to help fund it.

It's all about Ice Cream Sandwich.



It's superb, not least because I don't need to resort to a third party launcher to get all the features I want.

As for MIUI, I tried a couple of ROMs a while ago, and as nice as it looks I couldn't get on with it. Why take away the app drawer for a start?

Broken image Mogster.

ADW launcher is fine if you get rid of the unnecessary dots at the top and have a background that doesn't stick out too much.



Really the best thing about cyanogen is the stability, never got uptime like this on the stock samsung rom. Would always randomly crash and I'd have to remove the battery.

I always prefered Launcher Pro

Well like I put in my edit I'm favouring stability over style for now.

The only reason I want an app drawer is so my launcher isn't full of crap. To that end, I've just chucked what I don't want into folders.

Fast, looks great (my main problem with cyanogen is it takes about 43 weeks to set up how I like it), and has all the features I need. I heart MIUI.

A lot of people love MIUI, it's just not for me. Part of the problem was that at the time I had a silly amount of apps, and I'd chucked them all on with Titanium Backup without thinking. That was fun to try and organize!

Another day, another 'Apple sues Android' lawsuit. http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/02/ ... Z120120213

I thought it was quite interesting that they're suing Samsung for the Galaxy Nexus given that it's running pure Android 4.0. Voice command search has been in my Nexus S since launch in December 2010, long before Siri. That's a ridiculous claim for patent infringement. I can't understand how something as utterly basic as "unlocking phones by sliding an image" could count either.

Comes across as Apple being afraid of Sirious competition. Android is so clearly different from iOS, especially 4.0, hopefully Apple will lose.

Zeam is nice.


Re: Honeycomb - what makes it so much better than everything else?

Nothing. Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0) is the latest version of Android. Honeycomb was the first tablet optimised version, but didn't support phones. ICS supports both, and comes with a bunch of nifty improvements. Not least the widgets!

It's called Flick-Kick Football on Android. Good game.

Question - is there an equivalent of Kies Air on iPhone?
