HTC G2 (Sapphire) System folder!, Get It while it's hot!

I don't know if this is the correct place to post this.
Just got these pix.
The HTC G2.
It is fully HTC branded.
So no Vodafone or T-Mobile.
It looks way better than the white G2 we all know.

You know how we do!

i dont think its gunna be the G2
just another android phone on Tmobile
i think the G2 will have a keyboard
and imho it should
and also i think that that phone either needs a bigger screen or a keyboard of some sort

hey xmoo, do you have the "G2" in hand or are those just pictures you got? The reason I'm asking is I heard about someone having it and would like to get a hold of the new 1.5 compiled Market, Maps, and Gmail apks.
I'm refering to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=488164

We've got a Magic here... i've not really had the time to play with it, but my colleague who has is somewhat taken with it!
No keyboard though.

yrreP, can you do me a favor and see if it has working market, gmail, and maps? If so, would you mind uploading the apks?

take the FIRM please!!!

I thought HTC were going to change the style of the buttons ont he front before release? see the HTC website- the buttons look fatter, not the thin protruding ones.

YES! plus it is possible cause if im not mistaken,all press/preview devices have root.

Yeah! We want Market on cupcake builds!
=P

thats a prototype version..the final builds would have squarish buttons on the front..
but this is the 1st time i saw a black one out in the open...great..

eeeekksssssss!! did i see a better lock screen?

I wouldn't own an android based phone without a qwerty keyboard PERIOD.
OSKB are nice, but they suck!

To save Yrrep the trouble of walking across the office to me, Yes it does, but not the ones you are thinking of. It has not yet been OTA updated to the release ROM, so it is running a pre-cupcake dev rom at the moment with an in house OSKB. but other than that, it seems to all be the same as the G1 at the moment.
Nice to see it in black though, looks rather good i think...

If one of ya'll have a way or something. To extract the apps, or make a copy of the whole rom of what so ever.
Tell me, and I will try to dump and upload here.

Im telling you the truth..If they release this thing with out an actual keyboard, I will have no desire to own it. I can even begin to tell you how much I hate virtual keyboards. I like to see the screen when Im typing. Not have a sliver a viewable space above a virtual keyboard. The phone itself (from a design standpoint) is much sexier.
They just need to keep the keyboard around, maybe with an optional virtual keyboard.
Just my opinion though.

Missing a flash for the cam in back and a cam infront for video calling most importantly the flash without one there is no point in haveing a 3.2 mp cam.

Anyone know what the screen size is? I'm hoping it's 3.5 inches but it looks like it's still 3.2 inches.

tmobile one was fake..and there is no android 3.0 yet

The phone does look amazing, but the biggest drawback in my opinion is the same thing that made me purchase a Hero; "Sense" (even though I love it). Maybe HTC's OS release times will improve, but I'm not so sure it'll be worth waiting so long for them to update the UI every time a major OS update is released in the future. I think it'll be vanilla Android only, for me, from here on out. I just need something with that 4.3" screen

I want it!!!!

My next device will have a physical keyboard and large screen.

HTC is coming out with phone after phone. But has no time to support the phones that are already out. This ticks me off a bit..

meh...i can wait. My Hero does just fine for me, and I can wait until October to see what comes out when I upgrade again

if it's sprint, where is their logo?
they won't sell a phone without that on it. Could be an early mockup, but still
I can wait...
Hero is the best phone I've had yet, if I can hold onto an Instinct for a yr, I can easily stay with this...

I want a full keyboard android phone. The moment sucks though

Meh. 4.3" screen is too large to carry around day-to-day.
I'll take a Hero-sized device with Snapdragon, thanks.

Maybe you should quit wearin skinny jeans then.
Im rockin this bad boy when my upgrade comes back up Oct. 11, 2010.

Ha Ha. Skinny jeans. I think im gonna rock the fanny pack again and pick this sucker up. Cant get rid of my skinny jeans.

I have been really impressed with Android so far despite the fact that the Hero is "officially" still stuck on 1.5...
I'm still primarily a WinMo user (personal phone: Sprint Touch Pro running VetVito's newest ROM), but my work got my dept a Hero as a remote-support/on-call phone, which actually kind of backfired as we were expecting it would have VPN (the Sprint Rep told us it would), so I have been testing out the custom Hero ROMs trying to find one with functional VPN (i.e. 1.6/2.0/2.1). No luck yet, but there are a couple new ROMs out in the last few days that I haven't had a chance to try yet...
But in regard to my personal phone, I am really hoping that Sprint will have a phone w/ a larger screen by the time my upgrade comes back up in Feb. I would totally go for an Android phone, but being that I have been primarily a WinMo user since ~2001 I am pretty exited about WinMo 7 coming out, too bad they won't have any phones actually released until well after I will use my next upgrade...
But I am praying that Sprint will either get the Android 2.1 update for the Hero or another Android phone that comes with 2.1 by the time I upgrade, I really like the Hero but I am going to go with the most current OS I can...
And Snapdragon + a bigger screen would rock!

I agree...I don't want a phone bigger in size than my Hero, but I would like a full screen from top to bottom with smaller buttons, the buttons on the bottom and that stupid trackball could go and I'd be even happier...
I saw a Droid on the train I take home and there is no way I could carry that thing around all day.

Let's be real for a minute... I want 2.1 as bad as anyone, and it's really frustrating not to have it since there have been leaked roms floating around for a couple months... but riddle me this:
Other than the Droid and Nexus 1, which phones have received a 2.x update?
HTC isn't any further behind the 8 ball than anyone else in this regard.

No phones from anyone anywhere have received a 2.x update. Period.
It looks like the Hero will actually end up being among the first, if not the first, to receive it.

No love for the trackball??? I personally love it...living in Denver I don't want to have to pull my gloves off to look at the widgets. I wouldn't mind an optical 'trackball'.
And for the size, I'm not sure yet if it's to big. I would love to check it out once it's out and see if it's pocketable and sized right for day to day use. My guess is that 4.3" is probably about as big as you'd ever want to go before it simply becomes a tablet...

Things that Android 1.6 can't do

So I've been using my phone since early April, and I've found several things wrong with the Android 1.6 operating system. The biggest bug I've found with Android 1.6 is that women don't talk to me. I know if SE updated to 2.2, women would be beating each other up for a trip down my pants. Here's a list of other things 1.6 doesn't do or sucks at.
- Adobe Photo Light (It's not a Flash!) doesn't run on 1.6
- It doesn't butter my toast correctly
- When on a phone call, my ears aren't massaged by sound waves (Android 2.4+)
- It doesn't play the PSP UMDs I tried shoving in it
- Apple won't give me a free case for it
- The phone reboots when I ask Google Maps for directions to the End of the Rainbow
- Playing "The Final Countdown" doesn't result in a magic show by GOB.
- It doesn't drive my car
- The teleporting feature is only in Android 2.5 and higher
- It doesn't (deleted) when I (deleted) [Only in Android 6.9]
If you're as unsatified with your Xperia X10 as I am, your only refuge is to wait for the update to Android 2.1 OS, which many tech blogs believe is actually the Second Coming of Christ.

Not a problem with 1.6 mate, yours must just be faulty!

Jokes!!

Lol to both of you.
Just what I needed having read nothing but how truly awful this phone is (Idon't subscribe to that view... its fine by me, could be better but hey thats life)

I'm mostly upset at the advertised lightspeed jump capabilities.. Why did they only include ONE flux capacitor?
Oh where is my fusion energy battery capability from Android 69?

It doesn't taste too good either. I heard with the update, we'd be getting eclairs or froyo...

Where did you buy your X10 from? Consider debranding, root and reboot. Maybe it will work.
LOL...

LMAO!
nice one

But you CAN use it for masturbation! Oh happy day! .. so I've heard.
Anyhoooo ... the question of like vs. disliking the fact that it has 1.6 or not is irrelevant. Most new apps are only 2.1+ compliant rendering the phone pretty much useless (even for masturbation).
Not so happy day anymore.

I'd like to quote an fitting little piece written by the great poet William Bailey here:
"Said woman take it slow
It'll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience"
Food for thought.

This is a useless thread, there is many things that android 1.6 can't do, but not these ones.

Yeah, it's like no one knows that it's a rule on the Internet that everything has to be dead serious and free from jokes. Before you know it they're gonna start making fun of cats and post gossip about celebrities.

Having a sence of humor is so last year...

apparently the Dildroid app will only be supporting 2.1 or above... sigh, it's quite heartbreaking

the only reason i want to have 2.1 its for live wallpaper nothing else. with 1.6 i have now every thing works great..

Hear hear. I'm not insanely excited about 2.1 more than from a naturally curious perspective. Rooted 1.6 works fine for me since wifi tethering was my only major gripe. Froyo on the other hand, that I'm looking forward to. A performance increase in the range of 250-500% depending on the application is a major win.

with android 1.6 ET cant go home

Too bad, you can't be as cool as me, woman see my phone and immediately jumps back. They give off this "omg what a geek" looks whenever i pull my x104 from my backpack. *yes backpack".
Yes you heard it right, i have a X104 ...which is MORE advanced than your little x10! because it is number 104.
It runs on window 7!, touch screen with a 1024 pressure with a wacom digitizer.
It weights 5.2 LBs total. Built it resist to scratch screen and capable to use it under the most bizarre and harizous condition! It also run on LONGER than your little x10...it runs for 8 hours!!!!
What can i do with it when you can't on your x10 ? Here is some list.
- Read porns in bigger screen than x10
- bang on it every night and it won't break after 5 years of uses
- It emit enough heat to warm my body and soul!
- It direct Missles ... use in military purpose sometime.
- who need android when you have window 7!
- brigther screen under the sun!
- can be use as a lethal weapon
- emit so much radiation.
Want prove?

Why is the DEV section for the Epic so shi**y?

is it due to not a lot of people having the phone ? inexperienced devs? even the roms that exist have one thing or another that doesnt function properly...there only seems to be one solid rom for sure and the rest are just ehh...just trying to figure this out im coming from a device that had so many roms i didnt know what to do and on this side theres really only 3 or 4 choices. is this a froyo deal?lack of people with the units or what?

My best guess would be most devs are waiting for froyo to drop since it should be soon.

Its tuff to dev something knowing froyo us coming. I started my theme to be used on my rom but decided not to cook a rom. It well be easy to port my theme for use with froyo. A 2.1 rom ported to 2.2 us hard. It would be easier to start from scratch with a froyo build

Its the same thing that happened with the moment, almost no dev support. 1 because its a Samsung, 2 because it was the second 4g phone, 3 because its $50 more.
The Evo community is thriving though.
Look at the Moment forum on sdx-developers, then look at the Hero forum here on XDA. Same thing for the Epic vs Evo.

i was just asking a question...thanks for the answers fellas

I really hope people will develop for Epic, I really enjoyed the ROMs on Evo. But I liked this one better, hope I didn't make a big mistake! Oh well, I haven't even rooted this one yet, maybe Ill just give it a rest for a while. I know my wife will like that. Don't mean to insult the devs, you're all we got, just wish more people had this phone.

I concur, in a perfect world this phone (which I am getting tomorrow) would be so great that I wouldn't flash rom after rom for little things such as percentage battery mod or something. I would flash roms because it looked slightly different than the previous. and always felt like something was missing. I hope i can just be satisfied with the roms and such that are available for the Epic.

Don't worry u will have plenty of devving for epic. It will not be as much as evo though as evo has much more devs and is more popular and has been out longer. But we will have quality not quantity and after froyo we will see more devving. Most devs don't wanna waste time if the update is coming in less than a month (hopefully).

A Happy moment with my rooted DHD.

I want to share a moment just last week, when I was again glad I had rooted my DHD. I realize this kind of thread is unusual here, yet I think it's also important to appreciate.
I walked into a mobile shop to enquire about networks and getting a smarter tariff sorted out for my needs. When a sales assistant ignored me expressing I didn't want to change phones and whipped out his brand new HTC Evo 3D, and began to show off. He swiped the screen and a look of smug sanctification was written across his face, as the sense screens whirled.
"Oh and what phone do you have?", he half heartedly asked.
"The Desire HD", I replied.
"oh", a look of pity, or disdain (couldn't tell which) crossed his face. "about 5 generations older than my new phone".
I noticed he was running a task killer, and I commented on it, I was beginning to feel competitive, something about him suggested to me he had limited product knowledge.
I asked had he ever visited this site, as I had learned so much here about my phone and I had made the decision to root it. I got a blank look...the timing could not of been better..I then whipped out my DHD, turned it on, he looked surprised to see Sense 3 lock screen, I then whirled my screens around (such a useless exercise really). As it it smoothly came to a halt, I tilted it to show the 3d widgets ( I just couldn't help myself).
"ah, but mine has 3d and 2 processors", was he's only immediate reaction.
I just smiled and replied "and I guess you'll be getting a new phone soon again, rather than actually getting to use your phones full potential". I really at this point felt a little sad for him, he obviously updated as quick as a new phone came out under the believe newer is always better.
No matter how he dressed his phone up, and don't get me wrong it's a lovely phone he has, apart from some minor hardware specs, my rooted DHD could match his in every way and do a whole host of other useful things he would never be able to do.
"I can play Games faster on mine", was his final remark and which I raised an eyebrow, and replied "when I want to play proper games I have a PC"
Later that day, another individual in a shop asked me why I didn't wish to change phones, when I showed them, they understood totally and I pointed them to XDA.
All of this would not have been possible with out the Great bunch of Devs, chefs, and the general great feedback you get here on XDA, and I wish to say a massive thank you, your efforts are very much appreciated, and hopefully soon I'll be in a position to donate as well.
Would be good to hear any others tales of your Rooted DHD happy moments..

Dang, I'm in awe. Awesome story! I love the way you reply to the salesperson.

Yeahhhh beautiful!
We always encounter such circumstances! And we always feel like winners!
Personally, i encounter such things probably once a week when i show off my phone, especially with my friends having Sensation phone while i have FOR FREE a sensation ROM!
Cheers!

Awesome story. I love it. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, I have had my phone rooted for the last 7 months, yet I never felt the need till then to show it. My phone is my own, and not everyone can appreciate what rooting can achieve. Something about him, brought out 7 months of glee in me...I'm proud I didn't go overboard..still the thoughts persist with that sales assistant. I know he was doing his job to a point.
Yet personal it became as he didn't validate, he just mocked. Until he became desperate to validate he's own ego.
I'm very tempted to go back and show him a ROM by Capychimp, RCTeam and Coolexe I've had on my phone since first Beta.

I wonder am I being over the top? I'm normally would just let it go, yet I don't feel he is stupid, just lacking in the search for knowledge.
Either way, not really important I'm happy with my phone, and that's what really matters.

great story, had the same thing happen to me when i had an htc aria running 2.3.3 gingerbread when the inspire 4g came out. lol

After 10 months, i still think that i have got a new phone

i love this story

loved the story!

thumbs up for your answer

Salesmen, pish!
I've never been the type to constantly update to the latest and greatest as soon as they become available, and I love the fact that my DHD still feels fresh and new today as the day I got it.
Thumbs up for XDA, ROM Devs and this thread!

Hahaha awesome feedback but Desire HD are lucky owners that our device got the most support as any other device if I'm not wrong. First sense 3 and sense 3.5 was ported on this device. It's still a great phone. Thanks to all our Great Devs here n xda
