Google maps 5 onwards caching is supported I guess. Brut maps should also work fine.

Brut maps can be used in froyo. But i think the last brut map that was available was for google map 4.7. No idea if caching is supported. But Brut navigation is really good(best one i could find)

Will GPS connect in Airplane mode. I thought mobiles have A-GPS which get some signals from the operator tower for connecting to GPS satellite.
 
A-GPs means a quicker fix.

Mobiles with A-GPS get Ephermis data from the data connection. This enables a quick cold fix. Without this data, a cold fix can take 2-3 minutes with clear view of the sky.
 
Many of location based apps(Google maps...) does use A-GPS data(where normal GPS is not present) for fixing the location, though accuracy will be less comparing with normal GPS, in some cases it might in the range of 500m - 5Kms :)

And contrary to what you might think, rooting does not "Open up a whole new world", personally as far as i am concerned, rooting is necessary "more" for the low end Android phones in the market, which have low internal memory, low processors and such.

I'm not so sure I agree with this....personally, I thought it was worth it just for the USB tethering. Depending on the ROM and phone, you can also get wifi hotspot and there are a number of great apps that won't work unless you are rooted. We were all noobs once when it comes to Android, but in general it is much easier now than it used to be. I agree that you should do your research and familiarize yourself with the process before you start and read the instructions carefully. There are so many good tutorials out there and XDA is probably one of the best place to find this type of info.
 
i know ive seen this answer here on the forum but cant fnd where . i have a galaxy s vibrant , + a capdase xpose 2 case. invoking the poer button to unlock the screen has become lil difficult and kinda a pain, whats the app to invoke it by any of the capacitive buttons up front ?
 
^^ I believe that some of the home replacement apps let you do this.. like ADW Launcher and LauncherPro.. I think you can also do this in CyanogenMod in the Cyanogen settings.

Wifi HotSpot already exists in Froyo 2.2, no need to root.

Plus the apps you speak of, are apps related to overclocking, maximizing internal memory etc. Again all related apps required for the low end processors, and phones with low internal memory.

I rooted my phone when i had the Acer Liquid E Ferrari Edition, but i see no need to in the HTC Desire HD which i recently got.
 
I'm asuming this is the thread to post info about android phones.

saw an Android from Max mobile at a local store yesterday.









costs 6.5k and comes with 8GB MicroSDHC :)

couldnot switch it ON as it i was only allowed to check the main body without opening any accessories or battery.

What are the specs of this "Max Mobile"? And what android version?
Click to expand...
none of that info was on the box.

MR 440

3.1 inch touchscreen (assuming capacitive from the feel of touch)

3.2 MP camera.

no other specs that i could gather.
 
Actually I was referring to apps like SUFBS, Rom Manager, Titanium Backup, Terminal Emulater to name a few... they really don't have anything to do with these things

but are very useful apps for everyone rooted ;) I also find tethering my laptop to my Android phone quite useful when I can't find a free wifi at my location. :D especially since T-mobile getting ready to launch some pretty good speeds in my area soon.
 
Hi guys,
