In my last article I described a slightly different conception of meaning the same thing with Windows Mobile 6.5 and the Android 2.2 enriched superstructure HTC Sense. Google's Android is still in development, while Windows Mobile has been with us for several years and the Communication Windows Mobile 7 finally extinguished any development - version WM6.5.3 compared with the benefits against the version Froyo Eclair really do not count as a developmental phase.
FroyoStone to v3.1 currently running on my HD2 is the unofficial version is that the people of XDA. Although it is a very successful compilation and Android HD2 is definitely the future, no one from HTC is signed under this system, so I will take a little of the current imperfections in perspective. So much for the introduction, now let's get into the system itself.
first impression
not only on the telephone is the most important first impression. Immediately after the "install" the system can not help but notice his speed, which can hardly be compared the official ROM with Windows Mobile. As regards the equipment software, Android is also the basis of very well equipped and, unlike the WM ROM offers features like timer, stopwatch, flashlight, high quality Internet browser with Flash or interesting feature Friend Stream, which connects the knowledge of the FB or Twitter in one application / widget. If you still something is missing, the rest of the Android Market, and everything you need just isntalujte. Do not worry about agility phone memory and not least the functionality of the application.
I do not know for other phones But this build on the HD2, I got more focused on the buttons. Compared to be IOS, which is available only one button for "retirement home" Android will fully exploit the buttons like Home, Back or button to invoke the context menu that worked on WM to display the Start menu. In most applications it is OK to step back absolutely necessary - for many applications, the possibility of a gap other than hardware button does not.
Google's Android is based on online services. Enter your Google account to access the not a very good email client, but also other services such as Voice, Maps, Latitude, etc. online automatically sync was partly circumvent the lack of basic portovaného FroyoStone Android, which is impossible ActiveSync synchronization. With automatic synchronization, and other Google services (Friend Stream, News, etc.) is to be expected with increased demands on the traffic (FUP 150MB/měsíc not really) .
Negatives and inconvenience FroyoStone v3.1
The main thing that keeps me FroyoStone compared with new versions of the Desire / HD is the camera. This is the version from the mentioned two phone does not work - at least here with the quality of 3MP. Apart from the malfunctioning of ActiveSync I have also noticed problems with ambient light sensor. It works "kind of weird" (even more), so I recommend the desktop widget Power Control place and, if necessary, to switch between brightness levels.
Other things are a bit delayed sensor approximation, as compared with the original Windows Mobile responds to 1-2 seconds slower.
The third time the sensors have to mention the positional sensor. Although he works here, but not nearly as accurate as the WM ROMs. In applications where it is used only for basic orientation of the display, never mind anything, but in games (Teeter) is already marked difference (toward worse) very familiar. Especially because of its lateness and poor accuracy can not enjoy the game so much.
on what else I'll be getting used to the system administration tasks. The WM ROM HD2 while such default is not (at all other WM phones yes), but doinstalováním simple task manager from HTC was very elegantly solved the problem. Android applications work with a slightly different way, such as running an Internet browser, no notification is not in the know. Notification area is very detailed and perhaps informed about everything, but does not work here as a task manager.
for completion of applications and processes can use either the Program Advanced Task Killer (right) hand pozavírat or application of the system settings.
I spoke well tray, which is hilarious and a total withdrawal roletkové menu offers a clear statement on background applications, notification messages, emails, etc.
downloaded the right combo box, which offers a detailed overview of applications that work in the background.
I was very surprised, battery life, which even at this unofficial compilation was very good. Do I really did not address the killing of applications via the Task Manager (the WM I've killed more due to the speed) and I never thought the battery power to build Androidím complained. Overall, I must admit that the number of applications running inside Android's no way prevent the agility of the system - Android'm not a guru to know how the system works with a vast amount of background processes, but regardless of the number of applications I'm running for tearing or even freeze the system could complain.
So much for today's mini-Androidímu article, next time I look at applications that on their "hacked" using android.
