Adobe Flash 10.1 beta released to Android Market
Posted by android spin
On the heels of the big Droid X and Froyo release announcements, Adobe quietly released their Flash 10.1 beta app to Android Market.
Adobe Flash Player 10.1 beta 3 for Android (2.2) FroYo now available
The Adobe Flash Player 10.1 beta 3 for Android 2.2 is now available for download on Android Market for the Google Nexus One and other devices that support Android 2.2. Flash Player 10.1 beta 3 for Android enables your device to access the full web – which includes all your favorite videos, games, interactive media and web applications.
Unfortunately, you can only see this app in the market if you’re running Android 2.2, currently only available on select Nexus One phones. If you have a HTC device and don’t want to wait for whenever 2.2 may come your way, there is a some good news from Cyanogen and friends. They’re already hard at work on CyanogenMod 6 with the goal of bringing the ROM to the masses; namely the G1, Magic, Desire, Droid, Evo, Hero, Nexus One, and myTouch Slide. I wouldn’t expect flash on the G1, but it’s a real possibility for the newer phones.

Overclock for G1\Dream & MT3G\Sapphire now available
Posted by android spin
After the overclocking rumor that was spread a few months ago, I was quite hesitant when I saw another overclocking patch for the Dream\Sapphire. However, being the techie that I am, I couldn’t resist taking a closer look. After a few days of testing on Cyanogen’s recently released 5.0.7-DS (Eclair) builds, I am thrilled to report that it not only works, but it works REALLY well.
A little bit of background on the CPU inside the Dream\Sapphire: It’s a Qualcomm MSM 7201A processor clocked at 528mhz (only if you are rooted, stock T-Mobile builds run at 384mhz to save battery). The previous overclocking rumor stated that the CPU was running at approximately 780mhz, which equates to an almost 47% overclock over the stock speed. If you ignore the fact that the rumor ended up being untrue, a 47% overclock on a mobile CPU would not only destroy our battery life, but also significantly increase the heat output, possibly even to the point of permanent damage.
This new kernel patch, by pershoot, allows you to clock the CPU manually using SetCPU 1.5.2. In essence, we can now dynamically overclock our CPU up to 576mhz (when needed). Many users have attempted to go as high as 600+mhz, however it is not advisable to go above 576mhz due to the possibility of a significant decrease in battery life, increase in heat, and possibility of permanent damage to the chip. That being said, I have been running at 576mhz) for several days without issues, and I notice a nice increase in responsiveness and speed in Cyanogen’s newly released test2\test3 eclair build for the Dream\Sapphire.
WARNING: This mod\hack is forcing your phone’s CPU to run faster than originally intended. Neither myself nor AndroidSPIN are responsible for any issues arising from using this modification (Bricked phones, fires, death, etc). Please read the instructions carefully.
The latest kernel update.zip is available below or on Pershoot’s website as well as instructions for installing and setting up SetCPU 1.5.2. Its quite easy and shouldn’t take more than a few minutes to get everything up and running.
EDIT: Images updated for test3, correction made – Fender MT3G & MT3G 1.2 are not supported
EDIT2 : Updated links again, newer version that includes the hotfix by Cyanogen and Zinx
Huge thanks to Daproy, Dumfuq, coolbho3000 and Pershoot from the XDA forums for getting this working.
Instructions:
- Flash the .zip through recovery (make sure you choose the correct version)
- Install SetCPU 1.52 (by coolbho) – Download Link
- Change the following in SetCPU. Min: 128, Max: 576, onboot, ondemandDo not enable or setup Advanced
Optional: You can setup profiles, but if you receive lag, please be sure that your device is not stuck on a low frequency due to one of the profiles you have set and or due to cpufreq and SetCPU ‘oddness’.

Overclocked Kernel for 32B: HTC Dream or the Original HTC Sapphire.

Cyanogen ports Android 2.1 ROM in G1 and MyTouch 3G
Posted by android spin
Even though HTC will likely pass on launching Android 2.1 for their first Android handsets, G1 and MyTouch 3G, it’s good to know the Android community devs come through. Cyanogen in particular has been working to bring the ROM to the older devices. The version will be CyanogenMod 5.0.7 and it will be released any time now, as soon as a few last bugs are worked out. In the meantime, you can see a video of T-Mobile G1 running the new ROM below. The dev himself tweeted that it’s almost ready to go and just needs G1-friendly bite size packaging. So it means that it’s going to be a good moment for G1 and MyTouch users. We’ll keep you updated . Stay tuned with us.
