Android |OT|

 Relevant Links to other NeoGAF threads -------------------------- Apps for Android |OT| Android Gaming |OT| New OP Show off your Android Customizations thread What's Android? --------------------------- - A flexible operating system initially made for phones, but it now moving into tablets, computers, microwaves, stationary bikes, and even your HP Touchpad. Early Days of Android by OS News What's the Latest Version of Android and where can I get it? --------------------------- The latest officially open sources version of Android as of 12/23/11 is Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.3) Where can you get it? --------------------------- Here http://developer.android.com/index.html You can't do much with that unless you're a developer. So then what? --------------------------- Well you're at the mercy of whoever is responsible for your device (Samsung/HTC/Verizon/ATT/etc), or you can ROOT your phone and install custom firmware. Even then, you're still at the mercy of whoever is putting ROMs together for your device unless you compile the OS yourself. Root, Roms, Bootloaders, Hacking, and Macking??? ------------------------------------------------------------------- Every device is different, so they all have different procedures for doing all those things. *Links for major devices will be posted here if people pm the links, but more than likely this sentence will stay like this forever* Sounds complicated, is android just poor's man iPhone? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yes. I keep hearing Android is fragmented, what's up with that? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stop paying attention to fools. Fragmentation and Versioning are different things. There are numerous "point" versions to Android out there at any given time. If you point your browser here: http://developer.android.com/resourc...-versions.html You can see the latest breakdown of Android devices accessing the Android Market. It's not a complete metric of Android, but it's the closest thing to an "official" count. Android applications are forward compatible. Meaning, If a developer stops supporting their app targeted for version 2.0. It will still work on Android version 6.5. Where can I download Apps? ------------------------------------------ From the Android Market that's built into your phone or their site: ********None of these store are curated unless noted otherwise(not even the Android Market) so user beware******** or from the Amazon Appstore (Amazon Curates their App Store) or from GetJAR or from Slideme or...... *links that people will pm for other sources.* Current Awesome Devices (12/11) ------------------------------------------ Here you can find a list of Android phones as listed by Google, the site doesn't include ALL phones, but only those recognized by Google. Android Phones as Acknowledged by Google AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Samsung Galaxy Nexus (needs to be imported) Atrix 2 Sprint Samsung Galaxy S II Epic Touch 4G T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II HTC Sensation Samsung Galaxy Nexus (needs to be imported) Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus Droid Razr International Samsung Galaxy S II Samsung Galaxy Nexus 2nd Tier Google Nexus S (ATT/T-Mobile/Sprint/International) *Latest Devices as of October 2011 go here that people will laugh and mock in six months go here* *Stuff noone will ever read goes here* Relevant Links to other NeoGAF threads -------------------------- Apps for Android |OT| Android Gaming |OT| New OP Show off your Android Customizations thread What are GAF's Top 5 Android Apps? Android Thread - 2011 Edition | Stuffed on Gingerbread, Hungry for Honeycomb! Links to other Misc. Info ---------------------------- AndroidandMe.com has a very comprehensive article(as of August 2011) detailing updating histories for companies: http://androidandme.com/2011/08/news...date-alliance/ Where can I get the latest news, and be cool like Android Gaf? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In no particular order Android and Me Android Central Android Police Phandroid Droid Life **More links here if people send them to me**

Look, look, I know it's a little janky, broken up, lacks polish, and not very cohesive, but some of those things had to be pulled back for the next iteration.
When you see the Android |OT2| it's going to blow your mind. |

Well as a Android positive. I just drove home and during the rides I streamed from Google music to my Nexus S4G and piped that through the stereo. Good times.
