Devs: Restore or Unbrick your BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha Now Possible

Posted: 17 Jul 2012 01:50 AM PDT

BBW12_JamSuperSession_3

Some developers who went to BlackBerry 10 Jam or the World Tour and did a security wipe of their BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha  realized a big pain point of the device. If you wiped it then you would lose apps like the Camera and such along with a few other features. Shane over @OSBB noticed that RIM confirmed in the Beta Zone forums that they have made the OS unbricking process possible. For now that means offering the original OS 10.0.4.187 (some people were running 10.0.4.197) for users to update from the dev alpha.

The trick is you need the new BlackBerry Desktop Manager Software from the Beta Zone to restore your Dev Alpha. The devices are still scheduled to hopefully get a new OS update this month so hopefully this the first step of that happening.

Tylor let us know about a new game he just released for the PlayBook called Monster Jump. Tylor's TwoPinStudio has been pretty slid for fun games for the PlayBook and Monster Jump is no disappointment. He created Monster Jump as an exclusive PlayBook game built on Adobe Air with gameplay similar to Doodle Jump and Abduction. You simply guide the monster using the accelerometer through platforms and power boosts collecting coins and avoiding baddies.

Twitter v3.1.0.20 Comes Out of Beta and Lands in App World

Posted: 16 Jul 2012 08:34 AM PDT

twitter-bird-blue-on-white

RIM set the stage for this update in the Beta Zone by stating that v3.1.0.17 was the Gold Release and would hopefully be released publicly if all went well. It seems like that is the case since we have received multiple reports from readers that App World is now pushing v3.1.0.20.

If the original v3.1 Beta release notes hold true this update brings:

  • Updated Tweet Details Screen – Clicking a Tweet now brings you to a content-rich Tweet details screen, designed to give you more information around the Tweet.  Geotagged Tweets will show mini maps, Tweeted photos will appear larger, and Twitter conversations will be easier to follow.  In addition, you will be able to see who's Retweeted a Tweet, and by whom it has been Retweeted. To see a person's profile screen, just click the profile picture again.
  • Undo Retweet - You can now undo a Retweet that you may have mistakenly Retweeted.  You can undo a Retweet by using familiar actions used to delete a Tweet.  In addition, the new Tweet details screen allows you to select the Retweet button to undo a Retweet.
  • Right to Left Language Support
  • Additional Languages – Finnish, Arabic & Hebrew

You can find the latest version of Twitter in App World

This seems to coincide nicely with the new BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha update that is supposed to come this week. RIM has sent out an email to all developers confirming that all BlackBerry 10 developer SDKs "will receive a major update in July" and they are "looking forward to the astonishing apps you'll be able to create with the new SDKs.

RIM’s CMO Frank Boulben Shares His Thoughts in New Interview

Posted: 16 Jul 2012 07:01 AM PDT

Frank Boulben1

We have all be waiting for years for RIM to get a new CMO who will revamp RIM's marketing strategy. The position has been left more of less vacant for a few years but Thorsten Heins recently named Frank Boulben as the man who will spearhead BlackBerry 10's resurgence. Kevin over @CrackBerry had a chance to sit down with Boulben and get his answers on 12 key questions about Boulben's strategy for BlackBerry 10. It is a very insightful read though it does not contain any headliners. It is starting to become apparent that Boulben is definitely the man for the job and now we just have to wait for him to deliver!

I recommend checking out the full interview over @CrackBerry for all the details. Let us know what you think of Boulben and what he should do for RIM's marketing message in the future!
