Major rumour about a PSP phone using Gingerbread OS (Android 3.0) - Sorry if it's been posted earlier.

 

Here's what we can tell you about the hardware: if you're a gaming fan, this is exactly the kind of phone you've been waiting for. The device is described as cross between the Samsung Captivate and the PSP Go-- in other words, it's a landscape slider with game controls in place of the typical QWERTY keyboard. The D-pad is here, but instead of the small joystick, the device will have what was described as a "long touch pad" for analog controls, along with standard PSP buttons and shoulder buttons. The phone has a large display, described as being between 3.7 and 4.1 inches with WVGA or better resolution, a 5 megapixel camera that we're told might not be final, and it'll likely have a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU on board. The phone is mostly black with some silver highlights, and the gamepad area is white / silver in color. Apparently it's currently branded as a Xperia device, but it looks like it will carry PlayStationbranding as well. Those who've seen the phone say it looks "pretty damn sexy." The mockup above probably doesn't do the actual hardware justice, but it should give you an idea of what you'll be dealing with.

On the software side, it looks like the device will be running Gingerbread (Android 3.0) with a phone-specific skin, and there will be a new area of the Android Market specifically for the games. That content will be initially accessible only by the halo device, but from the sounds of things, these titles might be made available to other Android phones if their specs and button layouts meet requirements. Games will be graphically in the range of PSX or PSP games, meaning true 3D gaming is headed to Android. Titles currently being shown off seem to be focused around some older PSX as well as new PSP offerings, withGod of War, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and LittleBigPlanet possibly on tap, and future plans for titles which incorporate augmented reality features.

Not working. After I apply the zip it restarts and the samsung logo appears and stays for a long time. Then the screen goes off an there is no response from any button. What are the options I should select when building my kitchen file if I start from base firmware DDJC5 (which is what is on right now)?

[TRMNTR]

It should work. I have LK2.07 Beta 1. So, apart from that, this is what I chose...

 

Superuser.apk

LauncherPro.apk

XDA Phone.apk v.29

Market, Gmail, GTalk, Maps

YouTube.apk

GenieWidget.apk

Gallery3D .2

w7-Nexus bootanimation

WiFi Tether

Facebook client

LiveWallPaper + Nexus WallPapers

Try wiping Data/Cache from the recovery menu. This will erase everything on the phone. Then try the Samdroid Zip. If it still doesn't work, try flashing a different (recommended) firmware.

[TRMNTR]

Another thing...try to wait 10-15 mins after you get the black screen and see what happens. Maybe there's something wrong with the boot animation. Also, the initial boot takes a long time.

^^ Don't root. Maybe flash with the new firmwares from samsung-firmware. Try out some new launchers.

You can revert to a stock firmware but not necessarily the one your device was shipped with.
