Posted by Liam Spradlin in AT&T, Development, Galaxy S III, News

Just over two weeks after the official Galaxy SIII announcement, and days before its target launch date, Samsung has released the ICS open source files for AT&T's own Galaxy SIII (otherwise known as SGH-I747M), as well as T-Mobiles variant - the SGH-T999V. These releases are in keeping with Samsung's recent pattern of timely source code drops, which has certainly been encouraging for developers looking to tinker with one of the hottest Android devices available.

As we count down the final days before the SIII's imminent stateside release, those interested in getting their hands on the source can grab the SGH-I747M's source here and the SGH-T999V's source here.

[New App] Undelete Beta Promises To Recover Deleted Files From Your Device's SD Card (For Root Users)

Posted by Liam Spradlin in Applications, News

Fahrbot Mobile, the developer that brought us Screenshot ER, Root Call Blocker, Call Master, and a handful of other useful apps, recently released Undelete Beta to the Android Market, an app that promises to help find – and recover – files deleted from your SD card.

The app will quickly scan the contents of your SD card and detect deleted items that may be eligible for restoration. While this sounds like a super handy app, the developer warns that – as with any recovery solution – users shouldn't expect a 100% success rate. There are many things that must be taken into consideration when attempting to restore files, not the least of which being whether the data has become corrupted since being deleted.

Droid X Internal Files Leaked - Boot Screen and Keyboard Ports Follow

Posted by Aaron Gingrich in Development, Droid X (Shadow), Motorola, News

Some lucky new Droid X user has leaked a Droid X system dump (the phones internal files). As a result, you can now download anything found on the Droid X – wallpapers, ringtones, apps (such as the video editor, backup assistant, and photo app), and boot animations. Not only that, but the legion of Android hackers is hard at work porting various features from the X – such as the multi-touch keyboard (which has already been ported to the Incredible) and the boot screen.

Nicely done, everyone. Looking forward to seeing some of that stuff ported to the original Droid.
