HTC Universal gets CM7! This is huge news, but only if you understand and know how old the HTC Universal actually is. The device dates back to 2005 and was the first 3G capable phone released with a 3.5” VGA pivoting screen. Originally shipped with Windows Mobile 5.0, the device got a port of the Android 2.2 Froyo for it self sometimes back. Now thanks to XDA-Developers forum member notime2d8, the device has received the much popular Gingerbread based CM7 ROM. However, the project isn't fully complete with the Wi-Fi and modem/phone functions broken. Also, this ROM is meant for the 128mb RAM devices, not the 64mb ones and understandably so.

The HTC Vivid gets overclocked to 1.89Ghz! For a dual core Android device, this is huge! The Vivid, currently running Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread, originally comes powered at 1.2Ghz (dual-core of course) and is a power house with its massive 4.5” screen and 1080p@60 frames video recording capability. You will have to admit, that the specs really do scream out aloud and are more then enough to cope with many media intensive tasks. However for some, enough, is not acceptable. XDA-Developers forum member, bananacakes has been working hard on a kernel to allow users to overclock the Vivid up to 1.89Ghz.

Earlier we covered a post on overclocking the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II to 1.8Ghz with the Jugs custom kernel. 1.8Ghz is a massive overclock especially if you consider the fact that you’re overclocking a dual core processor. If you own an AT&T Galaxy S II Skyrocket, you might have felt left out, but not anymore thanks to XDA-Developers forum member Da_G, who has recently released a custom kernel ported over from the Jugs0.3 kernel to the Galaxy S II Skyrocket. Yes, this means your Skyrocket can now hit the 1.8Ghz mark! To be precise the the overclock supports a max of 1.83Ghz @ 1.3v and even gives you UV support, init.d support, boot animation support, compiler optimizations and is an insecure kernel itself for ADB root access.

Earlier we covered the EP1F Gingerbread firmware leak for the Samsung Droid Charge, and that brought in some much needed improvements to the device that was stuck with the Android 2.2 Froyo Firmware as the latest offering. Now it seems like the Droid Charge is on the roll as an EP4P Gingerbread firmware has been leaked over at MyDroidWorld thanks to forum member p3droid. The leak is strictly unofficial, but has been tested for over 4 days apparently without any serious issues encountered. Being the first LTE Droid, and boasting some very impressive specs, running the Froyo firmware was almost shameful. Not anymore, and you know what makes this leak even hotter? The fact that the leak comes in 4 different packages. You have:
  • A stock and non rooted ROM.
  • A stock and rooted ROM.
  • A stock, deodexed and rooted ROM.
  • A deodexed, debloated and rooted ROM.
