With the launch of the much awaited Android 4.0 Ice cream sandwich operating environment for smartphones, the top mobile companies are cashing in on its hype by releasing their phones in the beaming market.
Tweet Google today released a featured tablet applications section in web Android Market. I am not yet sure about its presence on Android Market version on Honeycomb tablets, but it won’t take long to have it. It is currently showcasing 69 apps right now, which I suppose will increase in the coming days.
Tweet Neither z4root nor SuperOneClick is currently working on the Charge (though I’m sure someone will come up with a one-click method soon enough), but guess what – Gingerbreak sure does. Follow these instructions, and you should have root and full /system unlock on your Droid Charge in a few minutes. Credit goes to the Exploid Crew and unnamed testers. No custom recovery, such as ClockworkMod or RA, is available yet, but it is surely going to arrive very soon.
Pros
Permanent root
Read/write access to /system
The bootloader is factory unlocked, so no additional fiddling is required
All Droid Charges survived testing
No data wipe is needed
Cons
Voids warranty
Could brick your phone if you aren’t careful
Android Police and Team AndIRC disclaim all liability for any harm that may befall your device, including, but not limited to: bricked phones, voided manufacturer warranties, exploding batteries, etc. The instructions below assume you already have a strong familiarity with adb command lines. The instructions were created using Linux, but should work the same way on Windows, Mac, etc. You may require additional USB drivers on Windows – check with Samsung and Verizon if you can’t see the phone in adb. If you’re unfamiliar with some of the terms, hit up our primers here:
Download the zip archive containing the exploit and other needed files (MD5: c6f2f4119f4a640571c3ab50c3287aae).
Step 2
Unpack the downloaded zip – you should now have 3 files:
GingerBreak
su
Superuser.apk
Step 3
Enable USB debugging on your phone – go to Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging and put a checkbox there.
Step 4
Push the files to the phone: adb push GingerBreak /data/local/ adb push su /data/local/ adb push Superuser.apk /data/local/
Step 5
Gain root (this can take upwards of 10 minutes, and if it fails, reboot and try again): adb shell Now the shell should display "$". Run: /data/local/GingerBreak At this point, the shell should display "#".
Step 6
When your prompt changes from $ to #, you have temp root. Now let’s make it a permanent root: At this point, the shell should display "#". Run: mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/stl10 /system cat /sdcard/su /system/xbin/su cat /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/xbin/Superuser.apk chown 0:0 /system/xbin/su chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su reboot Your Charge should now reboot. Enjoy permanent root! If you have questions, use our webchat or go to irc.andirc.net and join #charge. [Source: Androidpolice]
Tweet Isn’t it obvious? I think everyone should have a high end piano or keyboard app on their smartphone, you know, just in case that tune enters your mind and you want to get it down before it has the chance to escape? You know what I’m talking about. My Piano, by developer Borce Trajkovski, has quite a number of features that will come as a surprise for such a compact little app. Tickle the ivories on command with this innovative new piano application. Unlike most piano apps, you can even record your voice and play it back in several pitches or keys on the piano for a good laugh. And this is sure to keep those kiddos busy for quite some time during that long commute. Just add the app along with a pair of headphones and wallah! At the very least, you’ll be able to create a tune in no time with an array of features added by the developer.

This Kernel whipped up by Chainfire gave him a load of issues for one reason or another and he explains that it’s not a traditional or “proper” CF-Root. One of the reasons Chainfire has for this is that he’s like the majority of the rest of us, and also doesn’t actually have the device in hand! What he’s made this on is more than likely the early build of the phone released before the actual hardware is ready to take off across the whole world. What this project amounts to at the moment is the XWKDD kernel in “insecure” mode, this meaning that you’re going to be using “adb root” command followed by grabbing root shell using adb shell. With this lovely shell you’re going to be able to remount / system read/write, push su / Superuser, busybox and everything else your box’o'root tools might contain. What Chainfire’s provided for you to use to get to this point is the XWKDD kernel and the new Odin. If you have NO IDEA what that means, it’s better that you just know that we’re well on our way to a completely free and open playground in an ultimate bigtime phone that isn’t even really released yet! Hooray! Check out the full XDA thread over here for full details. Also don’t forget to check out our good man Chris Davies’ full review of this lovely phone, complete with the cutest transparent Android companion as helper!
It is rumored that Sony Ericsson will launch the successors to its Xperia X10 Mini and Mini Pro Android devices in May, and the launch could take place as early as next week. Codenamed Mango and Smultron, these phones run on Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread builds and feature 1 GHz processors. Other specs are likely to include three inch displays clubbed with 5MP camera and added front cam. This rumor is accompanied by an additional piece of information that one more Android device can be launch at the same time or will company just make W8 walkman phone official? Via eprice
Looking back on this week in Android some pretty big stories stand out. Verizon launched two new Android devices and delayed another, the Samsung DROID Charge due to 4G LTE outages; the Atrix 4G and Inspire 4G finally received HSUPA support through new updates; and then there are the leftovers, which you can find below. TGIF!
Samsung goes on the offensive. Broadens their patent infringment claim against Apple. [Electronista]
LG has the worst timing. Launches Black the same day as the Galaxy S II.
The Motorola PRO is not headed to the UK, says retailer. [EuroDroid]
Telus is dropping the original Fascinate to $0 in anticipation. The Nexus S is also on sale for $99 on a three-year contract.
Some of those lucky enough to receive the Asus Eee Pad Transformer were surprised to find pre-release Android 2.2 software in place of the promised Android Honeycomb. [AC]
Remember that new HTC Thunderbolt software that leaked a little over a week ago? It’s prepped and ready for installation, as Verizon has updated their support page to reflect the latest tweaks and enhancements that will hit their first 4G LTE handset. The main fix here is enhanced 3G data connectivity, which should alleviate some of the 4G/3G switching problems some users have experienced. Messaging fixes correct incorrectly displayed SMS and MMS messages. As is usual, expect this one to roll out over the next couple of weeks, so don’t panic if it doesn’t hit your handset this weekend. See the full release notes at the source link below, and let us know in the comments when you receive your update. [via Verizon]
Tweet Up until now, if you needed a file manager on your Honeycomb tablet you were stuck using one that was designed for phone versions of Android, which didn’t always translate well to the larger screen. Software developers Rhythm Software saw this issue, grabbed it by the horns, and took care of it. The end result? File Manager HD. File Manager HD is the first file manager specifically designed for Honeycomb tablets (according to the developer). It offers a slew of useful features:
* Based on Android 3.0 new feature and theme * High definition(1280*800) support * 3 sets of commercial icons for 60+ different file types, toolbar and menu items * Cut, copy, paste and cancellable progress dialog * List and grid view for file browsing * Compression and decompression support * Search and share files * Multiple selection and sorting support * Thumbnail for photo, pictures and apk files * Built-in text editor and swf player * Fully tested on Motorola Xoom
This isn’t their first rodeo, either – Rhythm also has a phone version of File Manager, and it’s rocking a near-five-star rating. So, for the low cost of free, you really can’t go wrong.
