Bootlace from Cydia allows you to install the newest Android 2.2.1 Froyo on your iPhone 3G and 2G without the need of PC. Previously we saw iPhoDroid doing the same job for installing Android 2.2 Froyo on the same iDevices. The greatest aspect of this Android to iDevice port is perhaps it’s standalone installation which doesn't require you to connect your phone to the PC at all. All you need is a jailbroken iPhone 3G / 2G and Cydia installed to make this happen. This build of Android port on iPhone 2G require you to have a jailbroken iPhone 2G on iOS 3.1.2 and 3.1.3. In case you are looking to install this Android build on iPhone 3G, then  you can also do it on iOS 4.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.2 and 4.1 along with iOS 3.1.2 and 3.1.3. Please note that this hack will only work on devices that have been jailbroken with Blackra1n, PwnagTool and Redsn0w. This certainly indicates that Sn0wbreeze jailbreakers are out of luck for this one. Read More

Keyboard Manager is a new under-testing app that allows you to customize onscreen Android keyboards according to your choice. The app actually let’s you select a keyboard of your choice for portrait as well as landscape orientation. Keyboard Manager can come in handy if you want to select other than stock keyboards in either of the onscreen orientations. An easy example of what Keyboard Manager does is that you can select SWYPE for landscape mode and keep it stock for portrait mode. According to the author of this app, all the keyboards installed are listed by Keyboard Manager with options to set for portrait or landscape mode. The keyboard manager integrates an orientation switch that is used to toggle between your choice of keyboard. The app also comes with an added disable option that will allow you to disable the app when you don’t need it or in case it’s causing some issues. Read More
