Pixel density hack changes your Honeycomb tablet interface to Gingerbread

0. phoneArena posted on 20 May 2011, 06:22

Ha! Honeycomb might be designed by Google specifically for tablets, but it seems that Google has the Android Gingerbread interface hidden underneath as this hack easily turns your Honeycomb tablet into one running Gingerbread…

Does this mean there could be an update for any android phone to Honeycomb? Maybe keeping the gingerbread interface but getting some tweaks under the hood...

there are already plenty of roms out there that integrate looks and other things from the honeycomb OS. kind of interesting though. Makes me wonder if Honeycomb is just a highly specialized launcher now.

It definately isn't gingerbread. It's the UI which gets changed by the pixel density. NOT THE OS!
Im sure if he goes back to check the version of ths OS, it still says 3.1

im sure it does to, but really, it just shows they didnt redo it as much as they told us they did...

Also, it looks like this is a hacked honeycomb rom running on top of FROYO. Dell streak 7 ships with a Froyo, remember? The notification bar proves that its froyo not gingerbread. Google is definately not to be blamed.

well this may be related to whats being talked about the merge of mobile and tablet into one big project, and this just means the OS is trying to figure out if is on a tablet or on a phone witch could means the OS can tell the apps how to adapt to everything by being able to adapt by itself

and "ground work"? you ever believed that bs? companies tell you they make stuff from the ground just to sound pretty when talking
