Firefox 4 for Android Beta 5 Now Available

There are lots of tools in Android that are not visible in the standard menu and for that, you resort to third-party apps even though those tools are built-in Android itself.

Hidden Menus is a very small app that lets you access basic activities/tasks built-in Android, but not accessible from anywhere or you have to use the long, complicated codes to open them.

This could be very useful to check for the availability of the Gingerbread OTA for your Nexus One or the latest Android 2.3.3 update for Nexus S. You won’t have to type the long *#*#2432546#*#* code in the dialer.

Access Hidden Menus in Android

Nexus S with Android 2.4 has been spotted by some Chinese consumers who recently bought the device, which in fact, has Android 2.4 on board.

Android 2.4, as far as we know, is not coming anytime soon as the Gingerbread update just started rolling out. This could be Android 2.3.2, spoofed to look like Android 2.4, but that is hard to believe.

We all know how easy it is to modify Android version numbers once the phone has been rooted, but if you take a closer look at the images above, notice the ‘test keys’ & ‘user debug’ in the build string. This is probably a very early build of Android 2.4 running with an old kernel build.

It is also reported that this Nexus S in China has a Super LCD, instead of the Super AMOLED screen.
