Upgrade HTC EVO 4G to Ice Cream Sandwich Via ics-deck-evo Custom ROM

Early last month, HTC announced the list of HTC phones slated for upgrading to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) some time before March ends.  The HTC Evo 4G isn’t on the list.  Will it be getting official ICS from HTC?  We’re not sure.  Can you get ICS for your HTC Evo 4G unofficially? You bet! RootzWiki developer deck has created a custom ROM of ICS for the HTC Evo 4G.  Despite being an old phone (released in 2010), the Evo 4G does have enough muscle for ICS. Deck’s AOSP-based custom ROM is still under active development and almost all …

HTC EVO Design 4G & Motorola Admiral Available On Sprint Today

Last week Sprint announced a new member of the EVO family, the HTC EVO Design 4G. If you remember, in 2010 when the original HTC EVO 4G was released, it changed the Android world. It was way ahead of any other phone out there at the time. Both the Motorola Admiral and HTC EVO Design 4G are available for $99.99 on a two-year contract after a $50 mail-in rebate. The EVO Design 4G is a world phone with a  4.0-inch qHD display and a 1.2GHz CPU – not dual core, unfortunately. The Motorola Admiral features a processor with the same …

logo-htc-quietly-logging

If you’re presently using an HTC Android device, chances are you’re a sitting duck for malicious hacking. Working with security experts Justin Case and Trevor Eckhart, Artem Russakovski of Android Police, reported about a security flaw in HTC Android gadgets that could potentially allow intruders to access sensitive information on your Android device. Although Russakovski explicitly mentioned the HTC EVO 3D, HTC EVO 4G, and HTC Thunderbolt, there is a big chance that other HTC devices are also affected. Case, Eckhart, and Russakovski are still investigating the matter–and they are finding new issues the deeper they dig. Devices running stock …

However, speculations abound that an HTC phone called “Kingdom” will make an appearance, with its specs and the unofficial name recently leaked strategically before the HTC event.

Today, the same folks over at XDA.cn have been able to get a hands-on video that offers us a clear picture that HTC is indeed on the right track. They have rightly earned their place at the top spot of the overlay podium for creating a beautiful and intuitive overlay. Steadily improved with each progressive update, this newest version looks to be even snappier than before. What’s more is that it is running …

Freshly Baked HTC Sense 3.0 ROM Called Kinged SHOOTER E3D Comes Out of XDA Oven

EV3DROM

The HTC EVO 4G has seen its flashes of HTC Sense 3.0 ROMs in various colors. And, while the ROMs shine bright and colorful while they are still fresh off the oven, their brilliance tend to fade away as more users explore them and discover several of their lackluster performance. The most frequently griped about are the lag during normal operation of the device and the lock-ups while attempting to unlock the phone (talk about irony here). The VR Kingdom ROM, for instance, came out and was royally bowed down to as the first true HTC Sense 3.0 ROM available …

Best Android Phones for Sprint in 2011

Best-Android-Phones-Sprint-2011

Sprint is, arguably, one of the better wireless carriers currently operating in the U.S. They have consistently tried to offer their users good phones, and 2011 is looking to be no exception. Back in the day when the HTC Evo 4G was released, it was sort of a big deal. With its massive screen, powerful processor (at the time), it was the first 4G WiMax device for Sprint. Sprint took notice that it was selling like hot-cakes, and has since continued to aggressively pursue some of the better phones on the market for its consumer base. Not long after that, …

Apple Hits HTC Anew with Fresh Infringement Case

flickr-fight-club-by-polina-sergeeva-cropped

With its lackluster patent portfolio backing it against infringement suits, Taiwan-based original equipment manufacturer HTC is a sitting duck for legal bullets, arrows, and other awfully sharp legal objects. The latest bullet to hit HTC was a patent infringement complaint lodged by Apple against the popular Android device manufacturer. If the ITC rules in favor of Apple, the decision will result in the complete cessation of sales of the infringing devices in the United States. Apple filed a complaint last week with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) alleging that HTC infringed 5 patents that Apple owns. Three of the …

Skype App Cracked Open, Now Allows Video Calls on Non-Supported Handsets

app-skype

Skype just updated its Skype app for Android yesterday, and along with the update came support for video calls on several handsets. Skype video calls now work on the Samsung Galaxy S (requires Android 2.2 Froyo), Google Nexus S (except the U.S. version of the Google Nexus S 4G), HTC Desire S, Sony Ericsson Xperia neo, and Sony Ericsson Xperia pro. The supported devices are literally just a handful. Although Skype has been promising “support for more handsets soon,” no one knows the day or hour that defines “soon.” Apparently, “soon” is too far away for some folks. With the …
