Open webOS ported to the Nexus 7, gives us the Touchpad Go that might have been (video)
Author: Jesus Sargent
At least a few enthusiasts were gutted when HP exited webOS hardware prior to the Touchpad Go can even have the distinction of a news release. WebOS Harbors’ Simon Busch can’t resurrect HP’s miniature tablet strategies, but he can give us an inkling of what we missed with his brand-new alpha port of Open webOS for the Nexus 7. The conversion is surprisingly complete given its basis on a related Galaxy Nexus edition: along with supporting core functionality like the accelerometer and WiFi, it at last cuts the cord and works separately of a COMPUTER connection. The only clear defect is periodic lag. We ‘d still be careful with a rough construct of an OS that wasn’t ever meant for Google’s tablet; if that’s no barrier, however, the Nexus 7 port is the next-best method to relive HP’s initial vision for 2011.

Holy Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! Tetris ported to a jack-o’-lantern (video)
Author: Melissa Shroeder
Exactly what occurs when you gut a pumpkin and change its withins with heat-shrink tubing, solder, 128 LEDs, eight AA batteries, an Arduino board and smart programs? You get exactly what self-proclaimed tinkerer Nathan Pryor calls “Pumpktris.” Over the years we’ve seen the traditional problem game Tetris ported to some amazing things, however a piece of fruit? Just in time for Halloween, this intricate spin on the jack-o’ – lantern includes a fully playable Tetris game controlled from the pumpkin’s joystick stem. Whether you’re a hardcore do-it-yourselfer, or a diehard Tetris fan wishing to top the system’s high score (9,800 points), you could build your personal Pumpktris. Of course, its designer estimates it’ll take around 12 hours or longer to develop the custom LED matrix and joystem and carve up the gourd of your option. If you’re up to the difficulty, you can discover a complete walkthrough of the job at the source link below. Nonetheless, if you ‘d simply like to see this quasi-organic gaming rig in action, check out the groovy video clip after the break.

With XBMC Ported To Android, There Might Finally Be A Reason To Buy A Google TV
Author: Markus Smith
Content is king, and so far Google TV is sorely lacking content. However, with the launch of the famed Xbox Media Center on Android, Google might have a chance in the battle for living rooms. The group behind the classic media player software announced the project and released the source code over the weekend. This could be big.
XBMC was a pioneer in media streaming software. Originally developed for the first Xbox (hence the name) back in 2003, the open source project is still the de facto standard of media streamers. I bought an Xbox just to run XBMC. The wildly popular project spawned many derivative projects and companies like Boxee, Plex and several others. Several key elements are still missing from the just-released Android port, but it reportedly runs on most devices — except Google TV.
Google TV still needs a lot of work. More than two years after its launch, the box is nothing more than a fancy Netflix device. Most of the GTV apps are garbage and a hassle to use. Worse yet, even if there are worthwhile GTV apps, Google has yet found a way to highlight them. Google TV already has several, albeit far inferior, media streamer apps. Essentially, Google hasn’t shown consumers and developers exactly why they need a Google TV in their respective lives. And now, with the odd Nexus Q competing in the same space, consumers are likely even more confused. Google TV needs a killer app like XBMC.
XBMC is nearly 10 years old and it’s by far the most mature media streaming solution. XBMC circa 2005 was better than many of today’s options. But XMBC was never available on its own Boxee Box-like device.
It’s entirely possible that I’m a bit too bullish on XBMC for Android. There is a still a lot of work to be done on the project. The XBMC Android port currently lacks the hardware decoding ability, and instead leans on software to playback video. This makes it difficult to playback 1080p videos wrapped in MKV containers. But if the original Xbox had enough computing horsepower, then modern devices shouldn’t have any trouble once the software is properly compiled.
As it sits right now, XBMC doesn’t run on Google TV. I tried running it on both the Logitech Revue and first generation Sony Internet TV. The app installs but fails when launching. I’m not alone. I have yet to find someone running the current build on a Google TV. That said, it runs on the Nexus Q, foreshadowing what could be for the legions of Google TV boxes and their bored owners.
XBMC doesn’t need an Android set-top box to be successful. The software won that title years ago. Google needs killer software like XMBC or even Boxee to advance its assault in living rooms.

Apple iOS 6 Maps Ported Over To An iPhone 4, 3D Flyover Mode Intact
Author: Jesus Sargent
News that Apple ’ s brand-spankin ’ brand-new Maps application wouldn ’ t have complete functionality across all of their iOS 6-capable tools struck lots of as a significant blow this week. Apple ’ s known to keep flagship features on flagship devices, so relegating turn-by-turn navigation and the 3D “ Flyover ” method to the iPhone 4S and new iPad just fits with that method.
But it turns out that a Russian internet site called iGuides has actually fractured the instance, at the very least where Flyover method is concerned. Without even using Cydia, the hackers have actually identified a method to obtain Maps up and running on an iPhone 4, consisting of Flyover. Sadly, turn-by-turn navigation is still a trouble spot.
Before we go any sort of additional, I need to instill a sense of caution within your bit of hacker heart. Not only is the app a bit rough around the edges on the iPhone 4, however the instructions on how to port the software program over to your older-generation tool are converted from Russian. So please, be careful.
As you can see in the video clip, the phone he ’ s using to demo doesn ’ t have the iPhone 4S ’ s second antenna band on the side. You can look into the functional Flyover method below, and directions can easily be located here.

Silk ported from Kindle Fire to rooted Android devices, other web browsers now jealous
Author: Alexander McQueen
Give it time and eventually someone will port your favorite browser to everything, even your toaster, if you’re lucky. A group of developers on the XDA-forums has begun sharing how to port the Silk web browser found on the Amazon Kindle Fire to various Android devices. To accomplish this, you’ll need a rooted Android device, whereupon you can download a package file and install it to the /system/lib directory with permissions set to the same as the other files in that folder. Users can choose to install any of the .apks that they want to side load, but will need to ensure that they also move the Silk apk from /data/app to /system/app. After a reboot, the Silk browser should be good to go, complete with access to Amazon’s cloud-based services through your favorite device. That’s just our quaint little summary, though: for the full instructions, you’ll most definitely want to hit up the source link.

Porsche Design theme ported to BlackBerry 9900 / 9930, saves you a small fortune
Author: Mark Jeffries
If you want some of that Porsche Design look, without the German engineered price, then check what just pulled up on the driveway: a port of the custom theme and icons. Sadly, only BlackBerry 9900 / 9300 owners — which share much of the same hardware as the P’9981 — running BlackBerry OS7 (not 7.1) can give their handset that new car smell. This means the sharp lines and luxurious brushed finish that made the P’9981 catch our eye in the first place will remain firmly in those pockets deep enough to afford it. Tap the source link if you still want to add the racing stripes to your current saloon.
