A bunch of Android info for your guys

Hmmm looks like it's definitely possible to download 0.92 to 0.80 but seem to be mixed reports of whether flashing a custom rom works after this though. Maybe I'll wait a week or something and see how things look. Maybe I'll try the downgrade. Gotta buy another sd card though.

Recently started using Skyfire Browser.

Feels much slicker than Dolphin HD and has more features.

To root your Milestone XT720, put this app on your SD card and launch it, one click rooting! Handy if you run Linux.

Here is the Froyo rom from XDA, I installed it last night after I found out that Motorola has no plans to update their current Milestone phones...

After a couple (2 or maybe 3) restarts it is running stable now.

Nice thread dude! If i switch off that background data setting, will it stop all apps from downloading and uploading? I need something which shuts off all connections until i open them... Any ideas?

There are quite a few apps/widgets that does this:

Anyone here that rooted their Galaxy Tab P1000?

 

[Piesang]

No problem. I rooted mine last night. Took me about 5 minutes.

A cool and highly addictive game that i found the other day is, Traffic control Lite, just couldn't put it down.

They also have a local scoreboard so you can compared your success (or failure) to other South Africans.

Is anyone using a GPS application on your Galaxy Tab? And what do you use?
