JesusFreke Has Stopped Making Builds/Roms And Will Be Missed.

Well if you don't know who JesusFreke is then you still have a lot to learn about the android OS,he is to me and to many the god father of android being the first to build a modded build for android's G1. His builds have set the way for many developers such as TheDude,Justanotherdev,Cyanogen etc... to create builds/Roms and even developers such as my self who create themes for the G1,he also offered help to everyone wanting to learn android and anything he could share with his fans. The reason I created this post was to pay respect to JesusFreke for everything he has done for XDA and all android fans as well if was not for him the G1 would not be what it is today.

So I thank you bro and I wish you the best in what ever you do.

Motorola Holding Android Event September 10th

Hello, Android. Are you ready for the moment you’ve been waiting for, Moto fans? It looks like Motorola is finally getting ready to dish at least some preliminary info with regards to its Android efforts. No word yet on what exactly will go down at the September 10th event but if we had to wager a guess, it will involve a call to developers, Blur, the Sholes and/or the Morrison. Actually, we’re hearing that the Sholes will absolutely, positively, 100 percent be unveiled at the event but we’ve yet to hear what else Moto has in store. We’ll be on hand from start to finish of course — for one thing so that we can deliver you guys live details as things unfold, but mainly so that we can molest whatever sexy handsets Moto shows off at the event.

Offical google voice app coming soon.

Third-party apps be damned as Google is getting ready to launch the official Google Voice application for both Android and BlackBerry platforms. We knew it was coming of course — it was just a matter of when. The news comes straight from the mouth of Google Voice’s Vincent Paquet who says the application will not only allow Google Voice users to place calls on their devices and have recipients’ calls display the Google Voice number, but it will also make it possible to view voicemail transcripts within the application as opposed to through the mobile web. Unfortunately, no word on SMS integration. We do have to wonder when the company plans to finish off the massive backlog of invites and maybe even open the service up to the public. Oh and while GV Mobile has done a terrific job of tiding us over on the iPhone, we’re definitely anxious to see if Google can match its functionality or even exceed it (push notifications for SMS and voicemails?) with its own app.

Manup's My Hero

That's right people The "Don" is at it again this time he took on a whole other beast, he's whipping up a Insane Mod Rom of the hot "Hero" Rom that's just performance starved, lagg filled, and bug infested. He's taken his superior Graphics Designing Skills and putting them towards the Hero/Rosie cause. Which in my opinion is desperately needed, So sit tight get your sd card's formatted and ext2 ready for the next HOT rom!! A link will be added as soon as possible!

HTC Hero Promo Video

The “Rosie” homescreen, with its distinctive new clock and control bar along the bottom of the screen, makes several appearances. The multiple homescreen pages, plus widgets like music control, are also shown, before the video demonstrated mapping and motion-sensitive controls.

Finally, there are a full seven HTC Hero devices, each in glossy candy-colors: pale green, pink, yellow, red, black, turquoise and white. Anybody know any more about the origins of the video?
