So noone is sure how real this may be, but apparently some devs did some ROM searching and found some interesting information inside a particular ROM:
# begin build properties
# autogenerated by buildinfo.sh
ro.build.id=FRE65C
ro.build.display.id=htc_scorpion-userdebug 2.2 FRE65C eng.xxxxx.20100206 test-keys
ro.build.version.incremental=26741
ro.build.version.sdk=8
ro.build.version.codename=REL
ro.build.version.release=2.2
ro.build.date=Sat Feb 6 13:42:06 CST 2010
ro.build.date.utc=1264645720
ro.build.type=userdebug
ro.build.user=u40000
ro.build.host=builder00101
ro.build.tags=test-keys
ro.product.model=HTC Olympian
ro.product.brand=generic
ro.product.name=htc_scorpion
ro.product.device=scorpion
ro.product.board=cortex1.5ghz
ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-va8c
ro.product.cpu.abi2=armeabi
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
ro.product.locale.language=mdpi
ro.product.locale.region=
ro.board.platform=qsd8672
# ro.build.product is obsolete; use ro.product.device
ro.build.product=scorpion
# Do not try to parse ro.build.description or .fingerprint
ro.build.description=1.47.3.2 CL2***** test-keys
ro.build.changelist=2*****
ro.build.modelid=DF4732***
ro.build.fingerprint=generic/htc_scorpion/scorpion/scorpion:2.2/FRE65C/26741:userdebug/test-keys
keyguard.no_require_sim=1
# end build properties
#
# system.prop for scorpion
#
ro.sf.lcd_density=240
#
ro.home.ui.defualt.=0
ro.home.ui.media.scorpion.=1
ro.home.ui.sense.=0
ro.home.ui.define.=0
#
#
rild.libpath=/system/lib/libhtc_ril.so
wimax.interface = tiwlan0
# Time between scans in seconds. Keep it high to minimize battery drain.
# This only affects the case in which there are remembered access points,
# but none are in range
So the important lines here are:
ro.product.board=cortex1.5ghz – This tells us it has a Cortex 1.5Ghz processor
ro.product.model=HTC Olympian – This would most likely be the HTC Codename
ro.product.name=htc_scorpion – This would most likely be the products shipping name.
ro.build.version.release=2.2 – This would indicate Android 2.2 (Froyo?)
ro.build.id=FRE65C – The build ID (the current Nexus One build is ERE27 so this would make sense)
keyguard.no_require_sim=1 – Tells me that at least the model being worked on is unlocked as it doesn’t require a SIM to work.
Again who knows how legit this is, but seems promising. Also makes me think 2.2 will be coming sooner than later at least.
Anyone see anything else of interest in the above code?
