Among the most treasured of additional features is the on-screen keyboard the G1 is so desperately needing at the moment.

I mean, it'll be nice to have.. but why is THIS, among all the things in Cupcake is the thing the "G1 is so desperately needing" ?
I have a perfectly good keyboard on my G1.
I would say video recording and stereo bluetooth are 'needed' before an onscreen keyboard..

@nolageek, the hardware keyboard i really great and beats all kinds of software keyboards for long texting, but sometimes a on-screen keyboard could be much more practical. I hate it to open the keyboard to enter 2 or 3 letters!

Woot!
finally the update we've been looking for !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonder how behind the UK update will be! lol
Sounds good though! Can't wait.
The magic gets released by vodafone in the UK in April, so if there isn't a release for the G1 by then someone will be able to make one since all the regional changes will have been made.
cupcake coming in avril huh? how about me coming in avril.
haha back to the point....i agree with MoridinBG, too much effort to open keyboard just to type a few letters. shows how lazy we are haha
Exactly how will this work if Im an AT&T Customer? Will google send the OTA Update to my phone??? I've always kind of wondered about that.
I have an ADP
Ehh, your provider does not matter..
i'm using a german blau.de karte (eplus, not t-mobile) and i've got the OTA update!
but the cupcake from t-mobile won't be send to yours, cuz it's an ADP phone! u will have to wait for a new adp firmware i think..
T-Mobile confirmed that it will release its firmware “Cupcake” update

I posted this only because it is the first time i have actually seen someone using a "TMOBILE Spokesperson" as a reference. And when at least 4 major sites are reporting the same thing, it seems more credible than Googleandblog. Not to mention the moderator of this forum edited my subject and added their own post on this.
which is the most stable for everyday use right now? also what happened to this tattoo build for us on qvga, i don't see it anywhere?
If you want something truly stable and fast, use the standard Ion build. Other than that, most of the Ion/Cupcake builds are very good for use. Such as the xRom builds or something like that.
The tatoo/hero/pulse/etc. builds are in the works and are not really stable. The ones which are "stable" usually run kind of slow on our hardware. Even though they are definitely cool and look awesome. They aren't really practical for everyday use imo.

I'm using the motor build at 240 x 320 & 110 lcd density... very nice. A few hiccups but this looks like my fav build so far. Once you get to homescreen let it settle down for a bit and it works well. Gps, native camera.... need to figure out how to fine-tune this puppy
none of these builds are functional enough for me to use everyday, im soo disappointed. that and now i can't buy the hero until next year because of $$ issues. im stuck with the damn vogue and winmo hell.
edit: i also didn't mean any disrespect to any of the devs on here either, you guys have done a great job. it's just been a bad day for me and i can never get any of these builds to run right on my vogue like some of you do.

I've been using xROM 1.5 for about 2 months with no issues what so ever. Why is it not functional enough for you to use? Everything works except bluetooth.

Any of the Ion builds are great for use everyday. All you lack is bluetooth and MMS but Android makes up for that with its other benefits. Ion is perfectly stable and fast.
right now im running zens xrom and it seems to be pretty stable soo far. ill give it a go this weekend.
couple questions.... can we take a screenshot at all yet? also is there a way to remove the clock from the taskbar? i find it stupid to have a clock on the taskbar and then a clock widget on the home screen.

I would recommend using SPB Mobile shell 3.1 or 3.5 and then adding the Revolution theme. It's a rip off of the Hero UI and SPB Mobile shell is the MOST stable Today plugin that I have used to date.
They made it over in France so use this link to translate for you.
Sence le Revolution
You have root access through su. And to take a pic you can use the debugger in the sdk.
And hero runs sense ui just fine so no need to fake it.
woke up this morning and my data connection went down in xrom. i had to reset the modem. what would cause this? this is one reason ive not been successful in using android for very long.

edit: i just read users of the real hero are having the same issues with data connection on top of a ton of other major issues. i think ill hold off buying the hero until a fix comes out. sprint cannot afford another failure at this point.
i think you need to just use windows mobile my friend. i've seen you bash and complain about this project enought times even on ppcgeeks. you never provide any usefull info besides what doesnt work. i use nfsfans latest winmo rom it's real nice but not prefect but i dont go creating my own thread just to complain about it

i didn't bash any devs on here, im having issues and im posting them, just like everyone else. i like android/hero but in my experience soo far i cannot find a build that is near functional for everyday uses. im going to buy a hero and pray it is more functional but ive been hearing owners say it has alot of issues as well. my vogues on its last leg and i need to upgrade. im running nfsfans rom and while its good, i hate winmo like most of you do.

What about the ion build? That's every day usable in my eyes. And I've had problems with Windows mobile locking up and missing calls even on a stock Rom/radio...but to me I see more complaints from you than anyone else. I know things aren't prefect but users of other HTC windows phones would love to be able to run android as well as vogue/kaiser.
if it isnt gonna come out then i'm gonna root my phone.
the update being? the only one i can think of is the T-MO market
if you wanna wait, wait til spring
The OTA update to Android 2.0? That's still a rumor at this point.
it was just confirmed today that the g1 and mytouch are getting android 2.0 by the end of january.

Best evidence so for http://www.androidguys.com/2010/01/...m_campaign=Feed:+androidguyscom+(AndroidGuys)
That seems reliable...
So did Toyota
In the past the rumors have rarely been reliable in regards to timing, so I wont be holding my breath. The Eclair roms that are available in the developers section work very well for now
That's definitely the most trustworthy-looking 2.x rumor so far. However, I won't believe it until it's officially confirmed by T-Mobile USA.
What timing! Just after finally rooting and installing CyanogenMod, an official OTA for 2.0 might be right around the corner. I wonder what would be considered preferred by most XDA users...a good modded 1.6 ROM like CM, or an offical T-Mobile 2.0 ROM.
The good modded 1.6 roms have a lot of 2.0 in them. Really besides aesthetics and the hella cool live wallpapers there are not a lot of changes that are noticeable. Speed wise there doesnt seem to be any issues either- they seem about equal. Might as well wait unless your into testing out roms and such. I am, so I have to have the latest daily
If this comes out I might actually Un-Root and Force Update.

It will be on here faster than you can unroot and force update! No need to worry about unrooting so you can get the newest update, there will be a version within hours of the OTA's starting on XDA, and if history is anything to go by, they will probably have it on here a couple days early.

Are you referring to a CyanogenMod build with 2.0, or simply a regular 2.0 dump put out by Cyanogen? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for CM with 2.0!!!

CM is not a good rom. It is bloated and slow.
Official rom is also not good. It lacks some basic necessities, like wired tether and apps-to-sd.
The preferred choice should be an AOSP 2.something build with minor kernel customizations, and using the drivers that will finally be available from the official rom.
I would stay with my un-rooted G1 if there was a simple app to let me put my apps on the SD.

Don't remember this being the case when Donut was released. At least not the stable versions.
try manups 2.1 rom.
if you can do with out hd youtube and videorecording its faster than cyanogens latest. it's actually the first rom i've stuck with more than a day that isn't cyanogens.
Just to let you guys know the G2 is the Hero in Europe.
So if that post is true. The G1 and the Hero will be getting 2.0/2.1 and 2.0/2.1 sense by the end of january.
Anyone have a friend or family member with a Magic?
I'd be curious to see if there's any new features that could potentially be ported to our Hero.

Looks like they have a pull port of Eclair as well. I bet we could steal their sense for our AOSP builds, problem with that IMHO: Most of the people running AOSP want Vanilla - The push to get it in and working would be minimal. Sense is sadly not as simple as installing an APK.

Why would you want to add Sense to an AOSP build? That's basically your stock ROM minus some of the crap apps crammed on there, which is already available.

My co-worker has one and likes to remind of the fact that it came pre-installed on his MyTouch.
EDIT: Correction, he got it OTA. I'm running AOSP1.6 now anyway so... screw him!

so it seems some people are getting these phones early now if im correct this phone runs android 2.1 with sense. maybe someone who gets one of these can get us a dump for the devs.
I've had the whole ruu for a few weeks and ported it to work. It's basically the same as the 2 2.1 roms everyone is building from now. Other then fm radio that we already know won't work on our devices. The legend builds are also older builds then the Eris build I ported. The heroc build fresh released with the .29 kernel is actually newer then the Eris build by one day. And the most current build of 2.1 I've found. The only reasons I haven't released the legend build. Is for one we have newer builds and two it has issues with our speaker and Mic. The build is exactly the same as flipz heroc build. So were not gonna gain much from building off of if. It's also a gsm build that will need a lot of fixing to be as functional as the current newer builds. In my opinion its not worth the time to port something older then the current builds.

ya it sure is the unibody and all would be nice and the optical trackball

let me ask you this, why put all the effort into this 2.1 port when the official update will be coming soon and then you will have to make another rom but fully functional already.
no offense, just seems like it's kinda pointless when we have the update coming this month.

if i wanted aosp i would of gotten anything besides a hero but the interface seemed so much nicer with sense it really was the whole decision for me with sense on this phone.
to me the biggest reason for continuing all these 2.1 roms. when the official comes out whenever its suppose to to me is that once the official actually does come out its alot easier to work with since the dev's are familiar with it

well just because we have a sprint 2.1 build doesnt mean we will get what all other buildsa have. we may not get friendstream and if thats the case then we will need new frameworks to support it. once sprint releases 2.1 doesnt make it the end of the road for porting other builds. one build may have some new function built into it. take espresso for example... its ui was totally different then any other. then we move on to other builds. some dont include certain htc apps. its almost like htc has a catalog with a gang load of options. the carrier or buyer may not wanna pay for a colorful ui they may only want it gray scale like eris is. or they may want all the colored icons like flipz's build and legend. every build is different. beleive this as soon as sprint gives us a 2.1 build. it will be extreamly simple to make an update.zip of it. no porting required at all. at this point i only want sprint to release because then that means we will get kernel source for .29. at that point if we already havent ported it ourselves(like last time) we can move on to bigger better things. but... as ive already seen were gonna need source for some of these new builds. our device is old and needs more space. so were gonna need to compile modules to squash the system down to a usable size and use other modules like ramswap and such to make up for or lack of hardware. were being outdated fast. android is finally developing into something to kick the other os's asses.
ps i do stuff to help everyone. whether i use their builds or not.
I am wondering about something concerning the new trackpad replacing the trackball in these new devices. How is this haedware switch going to affect recovery (if at all)? I mean will just "tapping" the trackpad work just as pushing the track button. Just something to think about.

well when u boot into recovery. it loads ur kernel and all of its drivers. im sure that it can be made aware of a trckpad if its not already.
I love the build of the device but after the hero I don't think ill settle for a inferior processor again especially after reading the reviews.
some people prefer aosp to sense. when i first bought the phone i liked sense but honestly after a few months i found that sense isnt worth the space its code takes up.
