by: | posted 08.27.10 | DROID, Root

Talk about a busy day. We officially launched our IRC Channel which completely blew up and MrPicolas (Dr. Root) is still recovering in the Trauma Center at the local ER. We hope for a speedy recovery!

Today, I present Purple Passion by ‘roberj13′. I enjoy LOTS of his work! This theme has been ported to Sapphire 1.0.0 and runs incredibly well! Especially since the Sapphire team has built such a beautiful ROM.

Fennec Hits Official Alpha, Download it Now

by: | posted 08.27.10 | News

Firefox Mobile or Fennec, hit official “alpha” today for all Android phones running at least version 2.0.  While this is still a very early build, the Fennec team has decided that it is worthy of an announcement and some video action.  I’ll also say that after just a few minutes of time with it, you can see that it has come a long way.  What a great browser this is going to be.

New DROID Incredibles to Ship with Froyo? Maybe, Maybe Not?

by: | posted 08.27.10 | News

The Droid Incredible order page on VerizonWireless.com has been updated to include all of the features the device will see once it finally gets Froyo over the next few days.  What’s interesting is that it sort of leads you to believe that new versions of the device will ship with all of this update goodness, however we understand the unlikeness of that happening.  After all, the Droid has been updated 2-3 times now and if you were to somehow find a brand new one today, it would come with Android 2.0 (in some cases 2.1) and simply force you to update it immediately.

Nice to see VZW acknowledging the update everywhere though.

You heard it right folks! I give you the awesomely official Droid Life channel on IRC! If you have a look at the top of your screen you’ll see a tab for “Live Support” where you will find a gang of us hanging out and chatting it up about everything Android/Droid Life/and life in general. So come on in and say “HI!”

If you need help solving a phone related issue or any other type of problem, this is a great place to start!  Obviously our comment section is top notch when it comes to support and we want to keep it that way, but this is another outlet for you to find an answer from the community.  As the community grows, the IRC channel will provide support for your custom ROM, rooting, backup, etc. needs, so don’t be shy!

Located on the FREENODE server ;-)

ENTER LIVE SUPPORT!

Verizon Support Confirms Incredible Froyo Update Starts Today

by: | posted 08.27.10 | News

The official Verizon Support Twitter account has weighed in this morning with news confirming that the Incredible Froyo update indeed starts today.  (And yes, this account has been verified.)  While this isn’t news to us after we showed the world an email from Verizon with today’s date on it yesterday, I do hope this helps some of the doubters out there, because damn, there are a lot of you.  (Smiley!)

Let us know as soon as you see the update hit your device!

You know we had to ask right?  Has anyone received the Android 2.2 for the Droid Incredible yet?  How about the FRG22D update for the Droid which allows for Flash 10.1 to be downloaded from the market?

The Droid update was supposed to start rolling out in massive batches yesterday, while the Incredible is likely just hitting its first test group.  Still, let us know in the comments!
