  • Android 2.1 apps on Motorola Droid/Milestone
  • Nexus One reviews
  • Nexus One desktop dock now available
    • ]]>     Many phones nowadays have cameras with 5 megapixels and above. Let’s take a closer look:

    Looks like the Nexus One is using sharpening while Galaxy is not. The image from the Milestone is sharp but very noisy.

    Now, another test:

    The photo taken with the Nexus One looks more like a 3 megapixel image. The Milestone produces sharper photos, but overall quality is not very good.

    So, do you still think that a 8 MP cameraphone is better than a 5 MP cameraphone?

    Sounds complicated, but you simply need to copy Browser.apk to the /system/app/ dir and set permissions to 644. It can also be done with Root Explorer, if you don’t have ADB installed.

    Motorola Milestone has been finally rooted by folks from Android-Hilfe.de (English translation).

    • Download .zip file and rename it to update.zip.
    • Copy file to the SD card (root directory).
    • Switch off the phone
    • Hold Camera button and Power until / ! \ appears.
    • Press Volume Up and Camera button to see a recovery screen.
    • Flash update.zip

    Download links:

    Just tested it with Market Enabler, it works. Wireless Tether said “No Netfilter”, I guess we need custom ROM now.

    Too complicated? Download Dolphin browser.

    Personally I changed zoom in the browser 2-3 times last year, and think this feature is little bit overhyped.
