HTC Sensation XL Android 4.0 updates rolling out ...

Posted on by

HTC’s Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade schedule is still murky at best, but the promised update for the Sensation XL appears to be coming to at least some European users. a user in Romania provided the first proof with a screenshot of the over the air download, which brings the phone up to Android 4.0.3 with Version 3.6 of the Sense UI. Since then, customers on the UK’s Three network have also reported getting the update.

Like most Android software changes, The Sensation XL’s 4.0 upgrade cycle is likely to be a bit spotty as carriers test and delay it. hopefully, however, these reports are a harbinger of a wider rollout in the coming days. Users of the Sensation 4G on T-Mobile have already gotten their upgrade from the carrier, and several other HTC devices are set to receive Ice Cream Sandwich later this year.

ClockworkMod Touch available for the ASUS ...

Posted on by

Koush’s ClockworkMod custom recovery is the de facto standard for Android modders out there, and in the last few months a few devices like the Galaxy Nexus have been given beta versions of ClockworkMod Touch. Today that small number of (official) devices extended by two. The ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime and the original Transformer are both officially supported as of now – you can download and install ClockworkMod Touch via the ROM Manager app.

ClockworkMod Touch is just like ClockworkMod… with touch support. (Natch.) The familiar layout and features of CWM are all given a touch-enabled makeover with a slightly larger interface. It’s still pretty basic – the UI is list-based with no icons and almost no graphics to speak of – but it adds a bit of usability to a process that was previously button-only. The lack of real buttons on Android devices as of late was certainly an inspiration for the new version’s development.

So far only a few phone and tablet models are officially supported by ClockworkMod Recovery Touch: the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus, the HTC Desire, Desire HD, Desire S, EVO, EVO 3D, EVO Shift, G2, MyTouch 4G, Rezound, Sensation, and Thunderbolt, the LG Optimus 2X, Black and 3D, the Motorola Atrix and Cliq, and all flavors of the Samsung Galaxy S II. you can download all the CWM Touch versions (as well as the standard version) at the ClockworkMod download page.

Sky Go for Android Launches Today, Not for Android ...

Posted on by

 

After a long and somewhat painful wait, Sky has finally launched the Sky Go app for Android devices. It’s not all good news though, and we’ve got some information on the app’s availability that may leave a sour taste in the mouths of some users.

The app is a free download from the Android Market for those who subscribe to Sky’s television service. However, Sky has limited the app to work only with a select few smartphones to begin with, and only ones running Android 2.2 or 2.3 (that’s FroYo and Gingerbread). those with the following handsets can get Sky Go right now: HTC Sensation, Samsung Galaxy S, Samsung Galaxy S II, HTC Desire, HTC Desire HD, HTC Incredible S, and HTC Desire S.

While limiting availability to a selection of devices and software versions may seem unfair, Sky says that the compatible devices represent 60% of devices using the Android Market at present.

Sky Go will not be compatible with devices running the latest version of Android – 4.0 aka Ice Cream Sandwich – for the foreseeable future. This is sure to be a bummer for those rocking the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Motorola Xoom or ASUS Transformer Prime, but it’s understandable as ICS only accounts for around 1% of all Android devices in the world today. Sky says it’s working to include support for more versions of Android:

“We are working hard to ensure we can support further Android devices, as well as the latest Ice Cream Sandwich operating system (V4.0) but there are a number of technical considerations,” a spokesperson for the company advised.

“As Android is an open source platform all Sky Go releases are required to undergo rigorous testing and development when a variation of any operating system or new handset is launched.  as a result, operating system updates (either from your Network Operator or from the device manufacturer) may require a significant amount of work before Sky Go can support them.”

Rooted? No-Go for Sky Go

Sky has also put a pin to the balloon of users who have rooted their Android devices. Sky Go will not be available for anyone with a rooted Android phone or tablet, and this is down to copyright and the company wanting to protect its media. Sky doesn’t want the content that it broadcasts to smartphones and tablets to be ripped and illegally distributed on non-official markets for Android.

Sky’s TV content will be heavily encrypted with DRM copyright methods, so nobody will be pirating it from their smartphone anytime soon.

Confirmation from the company reads:

“In order to ensure that our rights’ contracts are fully upheld we are also unable to support any Android devices that have been rooted.”

So it’s good news for those with a phone from the supported list, provided they haven’t been naughty and tinkered with their software. Have you tried out Sky Go on your Android device yet?
