Install Ice Cream Sandwich on HTC myTouch 4G Slide

Posted by newbie Sunday, January 22, 2012 0 comments

Owners of the HTC myTouch 4G would have never seen this coming.  The device can now be upgraded to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich via a custom ROM called Pyr-o-Ice ICS version 0.9.0 beta.
Just as in every unofficial ICS ROM being released, expect to see bugs and issues that may surface on your device. Most of the device core features are still intact, so you don�t have to worry. However, there are certain features that still need some constant tweaking. Most everything else works
, except a handful of features including Wi-Fi calling, MMS sending, wired headset buttons (when calling), accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, and full Facebook sync.
Pyr-o-Ice is still an early prototype AOSP build. While the ROM may not be directly supported by the CyanogenMod team, it still features some key elements of CyanogenMod.

Requirements

  • Rooted HTC myTouch 4G Slide with S-Off and with latest ClockworkMod Recovery installed
  • Fully charged phone, or at least 70% power, to ensure that your device doesn�t get turned off during the firmware update
  • Backup of all your phone data, as there is a small chance that your personal data may get corrupted or lost during the upgrading process

Instructions

  1. Download Pyr-o-Ice ICS 0.9.0 beta from here and save it to your computer.
  2. Download the update file to fix the Wi-Fi signal strength issue.  Get the file here and save it to your computer.
  3. Download the update file to fix the camera focus bug.  Get the file here and save it to your computer.
  4. Download the update file to fix video recording issues and playback stutter.  Get the filehere and save it to your computer.
  5. Connect your phone to your computer via USB cable then copy the downloaded files (the ROM file itself and 3 update fix files) onto your phone�s SD card.
  6. Enable USB debugging on your device by heading to �Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging�.
  7. Turn off your phone and reboot into recovery mode. You can do this by entering first into bootloader mode by pressing simultaneously the Volume Up key and OK button, then pressing down the Power button.
  8. Once you entered your device into bootloader mode, select the option �Recovery� to enter recovery mode.
  9. Do a full wipe of your phone.  Select �Wipe data/factory reset,� then �Wipe cache partition,� then �Wipe Dalvik cache.�
  10. Select �install zip from sd card� then select �choose zip from sd card�. Locate and select the Pyr-o-Ice ICS 0.9.0 beta ROM file.  Flash the file to your phone.  Repeat this step for each of the 3 update fix files.
  11. Reboot your phone to apply the ICS upgrade and to complete the installation. It may take a while since it is the first time it has booted in ICS.
  12. After your phone has rebooted into ICS for the first time, turn it off again and reboot.  This is necessary to allow the phone to make Wi-Fi work and to scan media files.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Ice Cream Sandwich on your HTC myTouch 4G Slide via Pyr-o-Ice ICS 0.9.0 beta ROM

Is this the real iPhone 5

Posted by newbie Monday, August 8, 2011 0 comments
Is this the real iPhone 5 or just a cheap knockoff?  Tired of rumors revolving around the next iPhone? No? Well, what we have here, folks, is another leaked photo of what is said to be the iPhone 5. Are we looking at the real deal, however? Let's take a closer look and try to find out for ourselves.

The insider who provided the shot claims that it has been taken �in the office of a French operator�, yet they only had a couple of minutes to act, which is why the image looks as poorly as it does. Nevertheless, despite the low quality of the images, it is quite apparent that the device runs iOS, or at least something that looks similar to Apple's mobile platform. Many of you would probably say that the photo has been manipulated, but after messing around with it for a while, we didn't spot any evidence showing that the image is a forgery. The only alteration to the image that we noticed is the pixelation over the hands holding the device, yet that has been probably added to hide the identity of the one taking the shot.
Something that bothers us is that the display of the device in the image appears to be no bigger than 3.5 inches, which goes against the plethora of rumors suggesting that the next iPhone model is getting a bigger screen. Furthermore, it seems like the front-facing camera has been placed awkwardly close to the earpiece, and there is simply too much space left out between the top edge of the screen and the top edge of the handset. On the other hand, the smartphone has a profile slim enough to be a true iDevice as it appears to be about as thin as the iPhone 4.Is this the real iPhone 5 or just a cheap knockoff?

Although we cannot come up with a final verdict just yet, the device in the picture is more likely to be a Chinese knockoff made to look similar to the iPhone 4 rather than the next iPhone iteration. Of course, we might be wrong, but we will probably not know for sure until the iPhone 5 gets officially unveiled next month. Nevertheless, feel free to check the photo out for yourselves and tell us what you think in the comments below.
