I've spent a few days trying to a fix a problem that I though was ROM related and as it turns out, it's T-Mobile related.A few days ago I started connecting at 3G speeds, which is new for our area.  I relaized a couple of days later that my location service would sometimes work and sometimes not.  So I've been changing settings, disabling and re-enabling the Use wireless network option for the location service.  Nothing seemed to get it working properly.I then started changing back to TMO CRC1 ROMs, Rogers ROMs and all different versions to work out if it ...

I guess I missed the other release on the HTC developer site for the Google I/O device.  Got yourself one of these bad boys, then head over and download the image from HTC.  It also read on Androd and Me that the images where accidentally signed with test keys and they need to be installed with a recovery image that was also created with the test keys.  This includes Cyanogen Recovery Image 1.4.These images are for developers and testers to get a feel for the new Android 1.6 (donut) release and not really recommended for the regular user.Here are the ...

The OpenAndroid Project Google’s upset the Android community so the community has responded with an idea to replace what Google has created and what the community thought was Open Source.  The idea is called the OpenAndroid Project (aka Open Android Alliance).The whole concept of Google’s Android and it’s Open Source approach to mobile devices has taken a huge turn and the Android Open Source Project is twisted web of open and closed components.Google states:Android is the first free, open source, and fully customizable mobile platform. Android offers a full stack: an operating system, middleware, and key mobile applications. It also ...

So I guess Google had decided to continue enforcing it's might on the Android developer community and prevent Cyaongen from continuing his work on the excellent CyanogenMOD.Google released a statement on the Androd Developer site Blog site saying: A Note on Google Apps for Android Posted by Dan Morrill on 25 September 2009 at 2:31 PM  Lately we've been busy bees ...

So what is considered open source and what is not?Where do the boundaries of open source begin and end?Cyanogens latest releases include AOSP branches from the google source and lots more.  Is the Android Market application the cause of Googles anger or is it something else?Maybe we need to look at the contents of any builds available in the Android community and work out what is covered under the open source licenses and what is not.  I can understand that there maybe some proprietary applications but why would something that just helps to promote the Android Operating System be stopped ...

I just spoke briefly with Cyaongen and he said:I don’t really want to talk about it much right now.. I’m talking with their PR counsel and hopefully we can sort this out.The issues raised was that I specifically target google-experienced devices, and asked it if was considered redistribution since these devices are already licensed for the apps.Yeah, lawyers are taking their time, they said it’s being discussed internally and I should have an answer soon. Hope all goes well Cyanogen.  We are all with ya!
