Back again with another post about Nexian Journey. The wait is complete for a stable Froyo mod from Cyanogen. The stable mod was released on 12 December 2010. Now let’s get our hacking mood on and get that mod into our Nexian Journey shall we? [UPDATE] Fixed missing Google Apps MDPI Link :) If you haven’t followed the steps in my last post here, please do so. Here’s some requirements for the mod to happen: ...
The first Cyanogen Mod build for Nexian Journey is quite the rush. By default, the CPU is forced to run at 800 MHz, that’s more than the 600 MHz capability of the phone. Luckily, the next build now defaults to 600 MHz and that’s the build I’m upgrading my phone with. The requirements to upgrade is the following: Upgrade your phone to Eclair if you're not already in Eclair. Steps to do so after the break. Download CMLMod 1.3 here for some Eclair love. You will need Clockwork recovery image after flashing CMLMod 1.3, download here. This is the best part, Cyanogen Mod 6.1 Build 7 for your Journey, download here. [UPDATE] Stable Release 6.1.1 here. Google Apps - MDPI here. A decent laptop/pc or a Mac with Parallels and Windows XP will do. Android Rom Upgrade Tools (RUT) and Drivers for 32 bit windows here, 64 bits windows here or both here. Fastboot windows, download here. Nowadays, rooting is a very easy task. It's already built into the recovery image, what else can you ask? Sorry I couldn’t give picture-by-picture step to upgrade your Journey, you’ll have to make do with plain text. Tweet me @tista if you need assistance. So here are the steps: ...
Let everyone who is reading this be warned that this is NOT an objective article about either of the platform. So politely for fanboys, I’m just expressing my experience using both. It’s a love and hate relationship for me so both are winners and losers. The first of the two that I own and used everyday is an iPhone 3G 8 Gigs. I must tell you that every iPhone is a masterpiece of great User Interface (UI) design. I love the easing effects applied, it DOES NOT feel artificial and mostly missable. Overall it looks great! ...
Okay so you’ve updated your Android to Froyo 2.2 but when you go into Flash enabled websites, what’s supposed to be Flash applets is just a blue box with a question mark. So other than the speed acceleration and other below-the-hood upgrades, where’s that Flash support Google and Adobe is barking about? Don’t get all too disappointed because you can install Flash now. For some reason, in my Nexus One, Flash wasn’t there. Fear not, all you have to do is just click on the link below and it’ll open up Market and lets you install Flash 10.1 Beta for your Android. So without further ado, here’s the link: ...
I’m one of the happiest Nexus One owner today! Thanks to the guys at Modaco, my Nexus One is now an official Froyo! It’s the biggest smile I’ve had since a while lol. Updating it was a breeze as long as your Nexus One is already rooted. Next up is a walkthrough on how to get a Froyo for yours.
