HTC Runnymede is the new high-tier Android phone that is set to be released in November or December this year. However some industrious hackers have already got their hands of the leaked official firmware of this phone. The result of this, like always, is that Android hackers and developers at different Android portals , blogs and forums are hard at work to cook Runnymede firmware based ROMs for their devices. Runnymede firmware / official RUU comes with Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread running HTC Sense 3.5 UI. For those who don’t know, HTC Sense 3.5 UI is a Sense 3.0 successor and comes loaded with extra widgets, lockscreen accessible apps and homescreen portrait compatibility.

Full HDMI Mirroring For Unrooted HTC EVO 4G With FullHDMI
The paid version of FullHDMI For EVO 4G has been around on the Android Market for a while now, providing full HDMI mirroring for the rooted HTC EVO 4G without the need of custom kernels (except for mirroring at 720p and audio output switching).

Full HDMI Mirroring For Rooted HTC EVO 4G With HDMwIn
A couple of weeks ago, we reviewed the beta version of FullHDMI, an application that overrides the HDMI-out restrictions on rooted HTC EVO 4G phones. The full version of the application hit the Android Market 5 days ago with a price tag of $2.99. Wait! Don’t let the price tag scare you away. We understand that although the hack is one to die for, some users might not be eager enough to spend extra cash on a feature they could do without. Good news is, they won’t have to. That’s right, a free alternative to the application is now available on the Android Market.
HDMwIn, like FullHDMI, allows you to mirror everything on your EVO 4G’s screen onto an external display at up to 720p. Normally, you would only be able to clone video playback. So if thinking about playing Android games on an HDTV makes you drool uncontrollably, read on after the jump for more info.
