BASH tip of the day: Search for text string
Written by Edvard   
Friday, 27 August 2010 10:35

30jrbx4.jpg I am fully aware that this is 1: common knowledge for most of you and 2: not deserving enough of its own article, but does it look like I care? (Yes, thank you darling, I got that from you.)

Anyway, as we all know, the Linux terminal (or BASH as its actually called), can do some pretty awesome stuff. And I constantly stumble over scenarios where I find cool, nifty way of using a simple command to achieve something I wouldn't have been able to do without it.

In this case, I was looking for a text string but I had lots of text files and I had no idea in which text file said string would be located. Well, using grep I realize I can accomplish pretty much anything.

grep –r ‘string_i_am_looking_for’ <path>

So in my case I typed in:

grep –r ‘com.connect-utb’ /home/edvard/Documents/*

And within a couple of seconds, I had my result.. Jiffy!

Will we finally be seeing an awesome qwerty Android phone?
Written by Edvard   
Friday, 27 August 2010 10:25

t-mobile-g2-itw-2-04 Rumors about the HTC Vision, aka HTC Desire Z, aka T-Mobile G2, etc.. (you get the picture), have been hitting the interwebs hard lately. And the more information that leaks the more excited I get about the possibility of finally getting a really high end, qwerty  Android device. from HTC. What we know so far is how it apparently looks, that it has a 3,7” capacitive touch screen, most likely has the new Qualcomm MSM7X30 chipset which is essentially a snapdragon but with a significantly better GPU and lower power consumption. Yummy.. Oh, and did I mention that this phone will be the first with HSPA+ connectivity?

Other than that, the wind speak of a late September release on T-Mobile, leaving Europeans guessing whether or not we will ever see this in our lands. I know I am crossing my fingers! Also hoping we will get to know more on the upcoming HTC press event.

So what do you think? Could this be your new phone?

Replace the stock Android browser icon with Chrome

chrome_browser Ive always found it interesting that Android’s stock browser does not have the Chrome browser icon, seeing as it technically is a mobile version of Chrome. So, I did some quick reversing and took the stock 2.2 browser and replaced the icon. The result is a new Browser.apk, identical to the original stock one except for the changed icon.

To install this, just read on for the full instructions. Note that we will be backing up your stock Browser.apk so you can easily revert the changes. Also note that this requires root.

Broken Motorola Droid giveaway
Written by Edvard   
Wednesday, 25 August 2010 12:50

motorola-droid-site3 I bought a Motorola Droid as a birthday present for my amazing girlfriend earlier this year. However, it turned out to have a defective display and its currently sitting at my desk. I am fairly certain the problem should be easy to fix though, however I have already bought a new phone for my girlfriend and since I don't live in the US myself, a CDMA phone doesn't really do me any good.

So, if anyone of you Verizon enslaved Americans want to try and fix yourself a brand new Motorola Droid then feel free to comment on this article and give me your offer.

Its well known that Google is betting high on HTML5. In june the company launched HTML5Rocks.com but the site has been lacking content, at least up until now. The big G has freshened up the site and now offers a full range of references, tools and information on HTML5. The website is there to give the users a better understand of what HTML5 and how it works. The website is split into four main sections. Interactive Presentation, Code Playground, Samples Studio and Step by Step Tutorials.

So why not go and check it out?

iPad 64GB Wifi + 3G onboard
Written by Edvard   
Sunday, 15 August 2010 09:52

ipad_giveaway When the iPad was announced, I told myself (and everyone else) that I would never get one. To me, the obvious lack of core features such as multi tasking (which is now hopefully coming soon in the iOS 4 update) and no widgets or anything (why not have a dashboard-like feature?) made it uninteresting.

However, when an iPad landed in my hands I decided to at least give it a go. And the conclusion is basically this: Its very easy to hate the iPad for all the things it doesnt do. However, its also extremely easy to love it for the things that it does do, because it does it so well. The device itself is beautiful, the OS is perfectly quick and responsive and there are lots of lovely applications which really utilize the screen real estate. On top of that, the battery life is awesome!

I will be sharing more impressions after Ive used it for a bit. But for now, feel free to take part with comments!
