The above picture is a re-branding of the T-Mobile YouTube Channel that shows that the HTC Flyer will come to T-Mobile. It has already been announced that the Flyer will come to Sprint this summer as the EVO View 4G.

Poketnow recently saw some promotional materials marketing the HTC Flyer with T-Mobile. The promotional materials do not show if it will be with T-Mobile UK or US, but the image above confirms that it will most likely be headed to the US since it is the only division with a YouTube channel. Along with the launch of the Flyer, we can expect to see a marketing campaign giving away one or more trips to Europe.

The HTC Flyer and EVO View 4G feature a 1024 X 600 7-inch screen, a 1.5 GHz processor, Gingerbread (Android 2.3), Sense, and HTC’s Scribe Technology. An optional capacitive stylus will be available for purchase to utilize the features of Scribe.

While there may have been some debate over an article that was released yesterday, we here at TalkAndroid all love CyanogenMod. I personally have been running it since my HTC Hero, and, now that WiMax is baked in, would never go to another ROM on my Evo. That’s why I’m super excited to let you know… RC3 is out! That’s right, the latest Release Candidate for CM7 has been released, and it’s ready to make your phone totally awesome. I’m personally downloading this as we speak, and will report back on the findings.

Note that not every device capable of running CM have been updated, but the list of devices with the update is definitely substantial. If you end up with any issues, a good place to start for help is the official thread at XDA.

Be sure to check out RC3 for your device at the Team Douche Official Mirror page, and let us know how things go in the comments!

ROM Review: MIUI (build 3.25)

tagged MIUI, review, ROM, rooting

One of the best things about the Android operating system is its flexibility. One could even make the argument that this is the operating system’s best feature. You can change as much or as little as you like from just adding a particular widget that you want to your homescreen to something a bit more adventurous. If you’re looking for a more challenging overhaul, installing a completely different ROM would be the best (and most fun) thing to do. To do this, you must achieve root on your device (which does void warranty in almost all cases) and find a ROM that appeals to your particular style and interests. In this regard, MIUI has become one of my favorite ROMs on my HTC Evo, though it is available on several other platforms. Check in after the break to find out why.

Sunday has come and gone and the rumor that the Motorola Droid X would get the Gingerbread update failed to deliver. The good news is that Team Black Hat has released the builds for both the Droid X and Droid 2 that brings you to Android 2.3.3. We don’t know if these are the official builds that will be released by Verizon and Motorola, but if not, they are really close. To install you must have the Droid X or Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap app installed on your device. For further instructions please visit mydroidworld.

These updates also include and updated version of Motorola Blur which looks to have some nice enhancements. You will now be able to set different home screen profiles (for home, work, and weekend), categorize apps in the app drawer, and customize 3 applications in the dock. Check the break for the hands on video from androidcentral highlighting these new features.

Sorry they’re two days late guys, but the weekly screenshots are here! There was a definite battle for best of the week, but I have to give it to niteowl360. First off, his use of all his screens in another gorgeous display would be enough to give his screens the award for this week, but the shout out to TalkAndroid in his screenshot puts it over the top. Very well done. Congratulations to him and all of the other people who were selected this week! As always, the thread where the pictures can be posted is located here. » Read the rest

Is LG working on a Google Nexus tablet?

tagged galaxy tab, Google, nexus, Nexus tablet, samsung galaxy tab

It looks like Google is working with LG on a Nexus tablet and it may be available this summer or early fall. This report comes from Eldar Murtazin from mobile-review. It seems like a natural fit since Google has already marketed the Nexus One, the Nexus S, and soon to be available, Nexus S 4G. Just like those devices, this tablet will release with a newer version of the Android OS. It is unclear if it will actually be marketed with the Nexus name.

On another note, Murtazin reports that if a hardware partner makes a tablet with Android 2.x, it cannot be upgraded to 3.0+. Assuming this is true, it guarantees that the original Samsung Galaxy Tab will not get Honeycomb.

Note: the above picture is the upcoming LG G-Slate for T-Mobile

Being able to control it from your phone, of course.

Well, Sonos has just issued an update to let us know that it has been delated until mid-April, but it is still on the way, so your wait won’t be much longer!! A few more weeks, and you’ll be able to control your entire music system from your phone…and let’s face it: that’s what owning an Android phone is all about. Power, flexibility, and convenience.

“We know you’re anxiously awaiting the Sonos Controller for Android. Unfortunately, testing the app is taking a bit longer than we anticipated. The latest addition to our free controller line-up won’t arrive until April, but when it does, it is going to rock.”

Is CM7 having reboot loop issues, or is it standard user error?

by Andrew Greenfield on Mar 27th 2011, 6:12pm
tagged brick, cm7, game over

A few users over at XDA are reporting that CM7 is causing their phone to go into an irreversible boot loop. Threads like these are starting to cause quite a stir among the Android community. Essentially users are stuck in a boot loop without being able to go into recovery. For those of you that have rooted your device you are aware of how problematic that is. If something goes wrong your recovery is suddenly your best friend and your way out. The frightening thing is that the reason for this issue occurring is unknown.
