Honeycomb 3.0 Sdk released

Shazam.
Roms soon I hope.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Seeing as it's designed for tablets and the SDK is heavily unoptimized I don't think there's a point to porting this to the Desire.

Google said, Honeycomb would be also available for smartphones, and porting is never impossible
would be cool!

No, they recently said, that HC wob't be for smartphones - maybe Android 4.0 will be the OS for smartphones and tablets together.
My source: http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...ay-never-come-to-mobiles-922897#ixzz1BgVwgrMr

doesn't stop people trying to port it to a smartphone
I'm looking forward to seeing if there are any stable roms come of this... obviously its not the final but still - interesting to see!

I really hope that there will be a phone version of honeycomb!

looking at some of the news thats out at the moment the default launcher crashes but it seems like there is some background for phones in there... (and smaller than tablet screens)
i wonder if the final release might be port-able...

Engadget has a post of the SDK running at a resolution of 800 * 480, so it seems that Honeycomb has two lay-outs in it and uses the one most suited for the resolution it's running.
* the post : http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/28/android-3-0-honeycomb-emulator-has-traces-of-smartphone-support/
So please stop yelling that it will NEVER come to a phone.

I could swear Google said it would - but I can't find a link.
Though Sony Ericcson said in January that they would use Honeycomb on their arc phones.

I was wandering what happened with that gingerbread music player... the one that circled around the interwebs back in December but was kind of buggy at the time? Is there a way it could be extracted?

The one that looks like the 3D Gallery? Also to point out, the SDK isn't even released yet, it's the previews.

Photoshop Touch & ICS

Does anyone have this app they could try on their Gnex? I have it for my Xoom, but since it says for 3.1 and up, I was wondering if it would work on ICS. I know it's formatted for tablets, but it would be nice to have a good editing app other than the crappy photoshop mobile version.

I have this app on my XOOM and many other adobe touch apps, i can't download this app on my nexus as it's not compatible

It works just fine if you can manage to install it without going through the market.

I have never used it, but would love to give it a try. That is if anyone has the apk

anyone try the photoshop express app on the gnex? mine opens and the app literally only fills 1/4 of the screen. it appears that the entire app is shrunk down

Yes, it works if you extract the apk from your Xoom and install it on your nexus.. just tried it, works great aside from the fact that the UI was designed for tablets and thus is very very small on our nexus screens...

Yeah it'll work if you extract the APK, but it really doesn't look good.
honestly Photoshop touch should only be used on tablets. anything less than 7" makes it almost useless, IMO anyway.

Build your perfect ZL

Make a short list of things you wish the ZL had, in order to make your perfect vision of the ZL. I'm interested to see what people come up with and what is the most common.

Screen a la HTC One, with perfect viewingangles
32GB or 64GB internal storage, very nice when installing large applications / games
Bigger battery so it will come to the level of the HTC One and the Galaxy S IV
Software-options: DPI of the softbuttons, colors of the (notification)bar out of the box

It is perfect as far as I'm concerned.
The only thing I miss is the stock browser which can be installed if rooted.

What's wrong with the browser supplied by Sony?

They only supply Chrome which I'm not enamored with. I feel the android stock browser suits my taste better. I think stock is faster. I'm also more comfortable with it since I have essentially used this since I came over to Android on the Sony Ericsson X10. Also, all my previous devices came with stock browser and some had Chrome as an option. This device only comes loaded with Chrome.

Stock Android browser FTW instead or next to Chrome! DPI settings of the softbuttons, color of the softbuttons that you can change...

Having used the stock browser for a week, I think its not so great after all! Facebook images appear blurred (cramped in size), no full access to many websites like official sony support (can't login). No such issues with chrome, plus multi tab handling is best, but I miss the flash support, fullscreen & quick controls (of the stock browser) on chrome. Perhaps no browser is complete, so, I have to use both!
All that said, I would like sony to improve its camera software (mainly the image post processing) so as to have better quality (especially during day). I believe the camera sensor used (in Z/ZL) is top notch at the moment, but its performance limited by sony's software implementation (too much noise blur). Oh, n btw, the screen is stunning imo (best I've used so far) :good:!

Thanks for the replies everyone, this is very interesting and it helps me decide what I would want to work on for a ROM.

Guys I think Sony should make A new phone with the same Specs of Xperia Zl,
just as like HTC made their "htc one x" but Due to some issues like Fast battery draining and some other, Company made "htc onex+" with same Specs but adding more Battery(1850 to 2100mAh) and with more Storage.
So actually try to understand my point which is that Sony should Try to make Xperia ZLi or ZL+ and try to renew their Curent Xperia ZL stock by putting IPS LCD screen,removeeable battery cover like Xperia TX(Although battery cover is not a such issue) and putting Slightly more power to battery at least 2500mAh,
May be in this circumstances Sony recover their Loss which they Bear since Xperia TX................
we all see the S4 have almost same size of S3 but they ported amazingly 2100mAh to 2600mAh battery and also the weight is less than that of S3.By the way I'm Not Fanboy of Samsung....
Xperia having 2370mAh battery but its 9.8mm and S4 having 7.9mm slightly more bezel but more battery.
Its the Basically point to be noted why Samsung put more battery by just little difference of bezel size.
Xperia ZL is no doubt A good Smartphone but its resale value is equal to nothing,that's why ppl hesitating to purchase it,otherwise design is very impressive but screen really A bad factor for Zl,
Anyway I like the Xperia ZL but Sony should now learn A lesson at least..............

Sure, here you go (zip attached)! Just unzip & copy paste the two apk files to system/app & set permissions to rw- r-- r-- (but first, delete the chrome.apk & BrowserProviderProxy.apk). You can find all the info about it here.

Oneplus 3 - android customization

hello,
I am thinking of buying a oneplus 3, seen many videos and read many reviews.
But never seen one for real on my hand.
I would like to know if its possible to change install other launchers and dialers and set them as default as I always do on other Android phones?
A friend of mine as a opo2 and says its very difficult do do it because of the oxygen UI.
Many thanks,
Best regards.

I use Nova Launcher and ex dialer pro ... No problem at all !!

Oxygen os is the 2nd closest to stock android after motorola's offerings. You can do pretty much everything in terms of customisation you can do on any other device. and since unlocking bootloader doesnt void your warranty you can flash various roms too. Oneplus has one of the best dev community you can find.

Great many thanks. hope to buy my opo3 next 12/09 becouse they have suspended sales....

Should I get this phone?

Hi guys, currently using Mediapad M5 but I'm starting to get a little bored and frustrated with things I thought I could live with like no headphone jack and no ear speaker. Thinking about getting the Mate 20 but I have a concern. I'm a dedicated user of Nova Launcher and have read about people having difficulty changing the launcher. Is there something I can look out for when buying the phone to ensure I have a version that will allow me to delete the Huawei launcher or change the default? Also I'm interested in anything else you guys can advise me to look out for. I'm in NJ and I use ATT. I'm assuming I should be looking for the international version, but other than that I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Hello there!
I am a big fan of big phones and I understand why you would want this phone, its dual speakers are great and headphone jack sound is the best I have heard with dolby atmos.
You can only change launcher on global version (EVR-L29) like mine, non-stock launchers work great!
I suggest you to buy the global version and not chinese for less bloatware, working notifications, working 3rd party launchers, fully working rom out of the box and gapps.
There are 2 versions of the phone Global and Chinese; Global version is EVR-L29 while the chinese version has 2 variants - normal EVR-AL00 and a branded china telecom version EVR-TL00
I personally got my phone from a local store near my home which luckily had the evr-l29 in stock, but I suggest to look on amazon for internation version or ask some people here

I'm in the USA, and I agree with Omer.

I'm in the USA and have this phone. It works great on att but here is the problem. With a locked bootloader you have no options once Huawei stops supporting it. I have the Chinese version so you deal with little quirks here and there as well.

I got mine when I was in hong Kong. Everything works perfectly including google, nova launcher. And works in Canada on all networks so I assume the US should be good as well.

I got rid of my tablet and only use my Mate 20 X phone and laptop. My Mate 20 X has replace my tablet. I watch movies and shows on it all the time. I initially thought that 7.2 inches is too small to watch movies. 8.4 or 10.5 would be better. BUT after a few weeks, this is the perfect size for consuming media for me and it's light enough for the pocket. I don't miss my tablet at all. I sold my phone, tablet and laptop and only use this Mate 20 x and a PixelBook. Happy as hell!

It's a fantastic phone, fast, pictures look great, videos not as good as an iphone. But I'd hold off if you can until September to see what happens with Google, etc...

I dont agree with you about holding off and videos, the videos I took look way better than my friends xs max.
I wouldnt hold off, huawei confirmed that every existing device will still get updates and security updates as well as confirming emui 9.1 june 27 and android q request for mate 20 x. they wont remove gapps or android from existing phones but future ones wont have them

Thanks for all the input. I will likely pull the trigger this week. So just to confirm, with the EVR-L29, I should have no problem using Nova Launcher, correct?

Correct. With the global version EVR-L29 you can use any launcher you want. See attached..

If you have the root time, you can change it in Chinese easily

Get it, You won't regret it. Best phone I've ever had. I replaced my Note 9 that I had for only 2 months with this phone. And I barely use my tablet now.
But make sure you put a glass screen protector and a nice case before you use it. The glass one on Amazon is perfect.
The only thing I don't like is Telegram App does not always toast new messages. The OS automatically kills some apps that run too often in the background.
