The wait for MaxSense, a new UI for HTC Windows phones, is nearly over. If you haven't heard of Maxycy's latest endeavor, MaxSense is essentially a major overhaul of HTC Sense 2.5. With it, we still get the Sense features we know and love, but now they're reconfigured and combined with some sweet, new features. Most notable are the 3 Android-like home screens (customizable with widgets), Sense launcher, 75 quick links panels, and a custom taskbar. If you're a fan of Sense 2.5 "power" mods, like Co0kie's Home Tab, you're going to appreciate what's in store to hit XDA-developers very, very ...

You've got a Nexus one, you've rooted it, and you're running CyanogenMod (or some other custom ROM), and you were hesitant to flash the stock ROM and recovery image to be able to install the Froyo Android 2.2 update. I don't blame you! If you waited, you're in luck! The developer community has again pulled together and released a version that you can flash from your recovery ROM (Clockwork, RA, etc.). This isn't the stock Froyo update, however. A few extra bells and whistles have been added (specifically SuperUser support and related apps). Where is Cyanogen in all this? Steve Kondik has ...

T-MoNews.com is reporting on a rumor that the HTC HD2 for T-Mobile may be getting a ROM update soon to address many of the bugs that may cause the device to freeze. These bugs are mainly due to HTC's custom messaging and Twitter apps that are so integrated with their custom Sense UI. Wouldn't it be nice if we also saw an upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.5.3 though?

You like HTC's Sense UI, but you have a Google Nexus One. If only there were a way you could run a ROM on your Nexus One that made it look and feel like, say, an HTC Desire. Lucky for you, it's not as hard as it sounds! The HTC Desire, as it turns out, is almost identical to the Google Nexus One, and the ROMs are basically interchangeable. If you're interested, read my previous article about How to Root Your Nexus One, then substitute an HTC Desire ROM for the CyanogenMod ROM in step 7. See how it's done in this video:

Cmonex, Conflipper and the other talented hack-stars have been busy preparing the Hard-SPL for the HTC Imagio (Whitestone) over the past couple of months. After some careful testing, they were finally able to release it tonight. Accompanying custom ROMs usually flood the scene for a device soon after the Hard-SPL is released, so stay tuned to the Imagio ROM upgrades/development forums on PPCGeeks and XDA-developers for those. NRGZ28 is one of the notable chefs on-board to pump out some sweet ROMs soon. Applying the Hard-SPL to the Imagio will allow users to flash custom ROMs. Modified ROMs ...

SK Telecom demonstrated that it's possible to cram a whole lot of technology into a SIM card--particularly, a whole processor, an Android OS, some apps, and 1 GB of storage! The Android SIM and SIM Theme Package were demonstrated at MWC, and it wasn't the first SIM model shown at MWC that combined additional technologies into a SIM card. The firm believes that the SIM can be used on dumb phones and tablets to make the mobile smartphone operating system truly mobile between different devices. (via: Engadget)

When the monstrous specs for the U.S. version of the HD2 were revealed, many current HD2 owners were a little peeved to find that it'll have a lot more RAM and ROM available than its predecessor. The unit slated to be released in the U.S. will have 1GB of ROM and 576MB of RAM, compared to 512MB of ROM and 448MB of RAM found on current HD2s. This lead to the theory that the U.S. version will be upgradeable to Windows Mobile 7, while the original version gets left behind. Recently, current owners have gone from angry to hopeful, as there's news that all HD2s may have 576MB of RAM available ...
