Quick Hands-On: CyanDelta Updater Brings You Incremental CM Updates, Eliminates Nightly 200MB Downloads

Posted by in Android OS, Applications, Development, News

Many of you probably already know how I feel about CyanogenMod – I swear by it, especially on my EVO LTE. Nothing beats it in terms of bringing a (mostly) stock experience to your device with just the right amount of tweaks and extra features. Plus, there are nightly updates that satisfy my need to stay on the bleeding edge and get a daily fix of… fixes. The only downside to this is that each nightly update (for my EVO, anyway) hovers around 180MB, a download that takes just a little more time than I care to spend sometimes.

Enter CyanDelta Updater.

Samsung Continues Pushing Out Jelly Bean To Galaxy S IIIs In Europe - Italy, United Kingdom, Switzerland, And Ireland Join The List

Posted by in Galaxy S III, Jelly Bean 4.1, News, Samsung

The Jelly Bean update for the Galaxy S III is steadily spreading to more countries in Europe, in addition to Poland, Sweden, France, Spain, Romania, and Austria. Today, it started rolling out in Italy (H3G), United Kingdom (H3G), Switzerland (Swisscom), and Ireland (Three), as well as on another Austrian carrier called 3 Austria. As far as I can tell, H3G, Three, and 3 are all owned by the same giant company - Hutchison Whampoa (some names are even interchangeable), so four out of five pushes today seem to be a coordinated effort.

Curiously, the majority of the updates (those pushed by Hutchinson-owned carriers) are no longer I9300XXDLIH dated September 28, but rather I9300XXDLJ1 which is a fresher build dated October 8.

Nova Launcher And TeslaUnread Updated With Support For More Unread Notifications

Posted by in Applications, News

Looks like it's been quite a busy day for the guys over at TeslaCoil software: they just pushed updates to both Nova Launcher and TeslaUnread, the add-on app that allows Nova and WidgetLocker to display unread counts. The two updates go hand-in-hand, so let's start with the latter.

TU's update brings support for several more services, including Samsung Email, HTC Email, AOSP Email, Motorola Email, K-9, Google Voice, and Google Reader. It also adds support for multiple GMail accounts. Yay!

Along those same lines, Nova was updated to support unread counts for all the aforementioned apps, as well as a few other bug fixes:

Include Android 4.1.2 changes *
Fix Transparency on Samsung Jellybean
Fix blank desktop when leaving drawer
Fix icon pack crash on some HTC devices
Fix drawer not correctly remembering position
Miscellaneous fixes
* Note: The setting for auto-rotate remains at Nova Settings > Look & Feel > Screen Orientation > Auto-rotate

If you're already a Nova user, the updates are now live in the Store.

Samsung Announces Jelly Bean For The U.S. Galaxy S III, Available 'In The Coming Months'

Posted by in Galaxy S III, News

Since the JB update started rolling out to the GSIII in Europe last night, Samsung decided this would be the perfect time to let U.S. owners know that the update will be available "in the coming months." Can you guess the reason why it's going to take so much longer? Allow me to enlighten you:

The specific timing and update method will be announced by each carrier partner, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless and U.S. Cellular.

Yep, it's the carriers. Still, while the timing may not be ideal, at least the update is guaranteed.

Samsung goes on to brag about the "host of new and enhanced TouchWiz features," including camera enhancements, blocking mode (which can disable calls, notifications, and alarms), easy mode (which simplifies the interface), and of course, overall usability improvements.

Official Galaxy S III Jelly Bean Updates Continue Rolling Out Across Europe - Now In France, Spain, Romania, And Austria

Posted by in Galaxy S III, Jelly Bean 4.1, News, Samsung

The floodgates seem be open, folks - the Jelly Bean updates for the Galaxy S III are now rolling out all over Europe. Last month, Samsung shared Android 4.1.1 with Polish users, took a break to fix some bugs, and restarted the process two days ago in Sweden. As of today, the list of countries has expanded quite a bit - France, Spain, Romania, and Austria. All signs point to a much wider rollout, and I wouldn't be surprised if even more territories and carriers show up within the next 48 hours.

The build version of the update is the same as before: I9300XXDLIH.

Zombies, Run! Update Brings Accelerometer Support, Now You Can Flee For Your Life On A Treadmill In Front Of Strangers

Posted by in Applications, News

How far we've come since the early days of running from zombies! Why, back in my day, if we wanted to be chased by hordes of the undead, we had to actually get out of the house and run around, since GPS was the only supported method for keeping track of our progress. Now, however, the app that's designed to get you working out by forcing you to flee for your life has added accelerometer support, so treadmill runners can get in on the action. Nifty!

In addition to accelerometer mode, there is also a bit of new content.

Android 4.1.2 OTA (JZO54K) For Yakju Galaxy Nexuses Rolling Out, Here's How To Get It Manually

Posted by in Galaxy Nexus, News

If you've been waiting for Android 4.1.2 to hit your GSM Galaxy Nexus (yakju), wait no more. Google has already begun the OTA process, but in case you haven't gotten yours yet, we've got the direct link for manual installation. Yay for you! Here's how to make it happen.

First and foremost, you'll need to meet a couple of prerequisites:

  • You must be using a yakju device. Not takju, yakjuux, yakjuxw, or any other variant. If you're not sure what build is on your phone, crack open /system/build.prop and see what it says.
  • You must be on build JRO03C.

So long as those qualifications are met, you should be all set.

Official Galaxy S III Jelly Bean Update Pops Up Again, This Time In Sweden

Posted by in Galaxy S III, Jelly Bean 4.1, News, Samsung

The European Galaxy S III Jelly Bean update first turned up in Poland about three weeks ago. At the time, we were hoping it was a good indication that the rest of Europe would follow soon after, but that's about the last we've heard of it until today. In the meantime, Samsung did fire up the update in Korea and reiterated it would soon show up in the States.

Disclaimer: Android Police isn't responsible for any harm to your device - proceed at your own risk.

A new Android 4.1.1 build I9300XXDLIH just surfaced, this time destined for Sweden.

Wi-Fi Motorola XOOM Android 4.1.2 Soak Test Rolling Out, Here's How To Get It Now

Posted by in Jelly Bean 4.1, News, XOOM

Well, that was fast. Android 4.1.2 was just released to AOSP last week, and Motorola has already started pushing the Wi-Fi XOOM's update out to soak testers. This isn't a huge jump in terms of functionality, and the incremental update will bump the XOOM from build JRO03H (4.1.1) to JZO54K (4.1.2).

Of course, those who aren't soak testers are probably wondering how they can get this update now. The beauty of Google-supported hardware like the Wi-FI XOOM (which is, for all intents and purposes a Nexus device), is that Big G makes updates likes this one available almost immediately. Therefore, it can be downloaded and manually applied right now.
