At last ?
Or is it another web rumor ?
just wondering, what happened to the taiwan update end of april? any1 hear anything?

I thought I read on here that the update is going to be in two stages, one preparing the phone and the other giving us 2.1 which was pushed back to June. Maybe this is just the crappy update.
I don't believe that bull****. Just another rumor.
Also can someone enlighten me what the hell means this: "and could cause seizures in small pets" ?

yeah they really could have been more specific in what they mean by "small", are we talking hamster size seizures or Yorkshire terrier size seizures?

that's crazy talk
Anyway I was asking myself :
Assuming that almost every member/reader of this forum would have tried at least once to install a custom ROM on their Hero, what to expect from the Official 2.1 update ?
Will I be sticking with it ? Will I wait for Villain/Kimera/other ports ? Assuming also that custom Roms will never be 100% stable...
Because from my experience with custom roms (and I've installed A LOT of them on A LOT of devices), it's allways about finding a compromise between speed and stability...
Yep, it's wednesday morning and I really don't wanna get to work...
I think when this 2.1 update comes out (probably won't happen soon, not even friday, as we all know HTC) this only may help custom modders in the stability of their roms, nothing else I'm guessing.
Wouldn't that be the Sprint Hero anyway?

Hmmmm,.... Well I haven't had the experience of swapping and changing ROMs on my Hero,... But having had it for about 2-3 months now, I'm still 100% happy with the speed and stability of the ROM I flashed to it on day 1, ... MCR3.2. I think I'v had 3 or 4 application force closes, and only had it freeze up forcing a re-boot ONCE!!!
I'm sure the custom 2.1's will be just as stable once we get the official ROM to use as a base.

Yes, I would assume so.
I'm not really looking for a more stable 2.1 rom. I just want the speed that is in the 1.5 roms. Since i've heard the 2.1 should be faster the the previous versions I have high hopes får the official release and that the dev can make the most out of it.

So it wouldn't change anything, would it? I mean, don't we already have ROMs made from the Sprint Hero leak?
Hopefully this news would be true. I'm also looking forward to 2.1 rombut not because of its new capability but actually for developers in enhancing making the 2.1 rom using overclocked method

Hope that devs wil make some nice looking and fast rom out of it.
And no way i;m flashing it on my G2. Lucky that the gold card procedure worked out for me.

I just really hope the battery life will improve.
Current 2.1 ROMs are already quick and stable enough for me, I wish the battery would last longer though. Aside from that, there are only a few minor bugs in most 2.1 ROMs that are currently out there, which do not really bother me.
Its not the 2.1 ROMS that are the problem its all down to the Kernel,which no1 has!surely if it was coming soon then it would have leaked somehow!
if you follow the link from the article it says sprint hero...

Every phone is practically getting froyo or has a date around when, but t-mobile, and htc are keeping quiet about it. What do you guys think?
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using Tapatalk
I kept hearing at least by the end of the year. Some people say since we got that one OTA update, it means we probably won't be getting Froyo for a while...
I dunno though, it'd be nice. :x
The Slide is getting FroYo although no dates have been given
I think you guys won't get it.for a while...my friend has a slide, and he is a bit pissed that he won't be getting froyo soon

Plus I think they want Espresso Froyo, not vanilla Froyo.
The thing is that the Froyo is "comming soon" and we the users who haven't rooted yet are undecided to whether wait and get the clean update, or choose to figure the root thong out and get Froyo and its features nooow.
Right now I'm gathering information, reading tutorials, and understanding everything to be ready to root and flash Cyanogen Rom, now I just hope that by the time I do all this I don't want to hear "hey yo heard the news!? Froyo for Slide is hea!" I'd be maaad!!
But this thought comes to my mind... Ain't I getting the same thing?? The difference is that I'd be rooted...

Yes if you were to go and root your phone, you can have froyo all day, but everyone is waiting for an official release so they can keep the Sense UI, which has all the nice widgets and such. I myself am skeptical as to when that will happen. I like froyo and all, but I've always been a fan of the Sense UI, so ill stick it out, occasionally flashing all the other great roms we have.

Before you didnt have full control and know you do, ive been using android since last october and had the chance to use eclair,froyo,sense,espresso all on my g1, now that i have a slide i only want sense non of that boring vanilla crap, that can kick rocks or something.

plus, an official ota will also improve all current froyo builds for the MTS. alot of stuff can be ported and fixed like bluetooth, wifi, etc...
It took me ages to decide to root, and once I did, i went back to the stock rom (rooted). Two years ago my phone was a P.O.S. till Cyanogen came up and beat it into shape. Now i have a decent device with OK software. We've come a long way and more and more people are happy with stock. Once they work the bugs out of Cyanogenmod I will probably move ove. Till then, i am good.
2.2 for the Slide should be out before the end of the summer according to our HTC rep,most likely sometime in September. The other bit of good news is that it will include WiFi calling ability.

Yes I understand, man this developers are awesome!
How ever, as for what I've seen the root method is still complicated for the MyTouch Slide, 2 procedures to root and one to flash a room, (I'd like CyanogenMod)
I've dealed with Sony Ericsson Walkman phones modding, but Android's are more complex xO
The things that make me feel like trying it out are:
-Froyo of course..
-Full Flash Player 10.1
-Install apps on SD (I've read it requires more things like a partition and don't know what else)
-Live Wallpapers
-make it mine.....
The things that pull me back and make me feel like not. trying:
What if battery life was better in stock rom??
The tutorials sound a lil' experimental
Besides rooting and rom flashing, there also this Radio thing.... is it nesesary or optional??
I'd like to save my self fun time and head breaking from not trying. THEN WHY I AM HERE?!---- Because I'm undecideeeeeeed xO

Trust me battery wont change just cause you rooted, some say Froyo has "better" battery life, now i cant promise cause i dont use froyo on my slide.I oc and get 1 day+....Well depending on usage of course.
You need to upgrade your radio too, it is very simple to root, i rooted my slide twice with the new new method that just came out(1-2 weeks ago)
Also some people are 15, and have their parents paid the bill, as well as paying for warranty every month, so rooting is not an option for me.

I agree, but with root... Root. Freeze bloat. Enjoy.
Depends on how much other stuff the devs have going on. I'd guess about a 2-4 weeks.
I mean, it was just leaked a day or two ago, it's going to take a bit of time.
I hope they come out. The bloatware sucks. LPP FC's for me so I have to use the stock launcher. Moto's gingerbread 'skin' seems weak and unfinished (hence leak I guess).
Love the performance boosts though. Cannot wait to root. I've given up hope for an AOSP DX rom though (Froyo or Gbread).

LPP works flawlessly for me, have you tried the usual thing? Clearing dalvik cache & system cache?
You're not gonna get a *true* ASOP ROM due to the locked bootloader...which is why CyanogenMod isn't on the DX or D2.
For anyone contemplating updating, DO IT.. This release is extremely substantial...now that I have the rooted gingerbread and have debloated / deblurred / made build.prop changes, I will never again use a froyo rom.. I will happily wait for the custom gingers to come out
This is a substantial release I would say even more significant then going from the original 2.1 to 2.2 was

There are some cool UI changes and the overall experience seems much snappier since I updated to Gingerale (2.3 based ROM). I would recommend checking it out at least, just make a backup and revert if you don't like it But I bet you will.

I'm going to have to agree. Froyo was great to me, but when I jumped to GB... wow. Quicker, looks better and runs smoother. I just got a replacement phone yesterday with 340 on it and I can't believe I actually used it. Tossed 595 on right away But as Schmidty said, you can always roll it back. To each their own, though.
BTW... that Gingerale looks awesome. I'm gonna try it when I get home
Schmidty and Kobalt, is there that much of a diff? New to world of customizing. I do have 2 X's (one on wireless). Maybe I'll give it a try on that one. I'm sure I can find a thread somewhere. You both recommend Gingerale? My real concern is seeing ongoing threads of issues with these various versions of GB (don't know if gingerale falls in that category). But I'm constantly reading and trying to learn more. This damn phone and these forums has created a monster out of me. I tried my buddies original droid yesterday (totally stock). I almost vomited. He's too afraid to do any form of customization or rooting.
You say faster until you actually load it and it includes more crapware and really is barely faster than the custom gb rom you put on the phone.
I'll stick with a rom'd froyo with gingerbread elements in it till a better gb rom comes out.
Do you have a preference serial?

I would way prefer a clean GB install (Cyanogen anyone?), but I haven't seen one for my X that is as stable as .595.
So I will keep my .595 build (rooted and deoxed) until I see something better.
Gingerbread is almost here? Where have you been? I have been running gingerbread for about a month now. The "official" update is just a number
have any of you guys tried Liberty GB? I downloaded the donate version of Liberty Toolbox from the market and installed the Nightly Gingerbread ROM. So far, kinda stable.
Some bugs are:
-Maps crashes sometimes out of the blue
-Calendars won't let you modify or add items
But I have gotten stronger 3g and faster reception, and faster system overall...
Hope to hear a release date of the a final build Liberty GB

I'm in the same boat with the same build. Very happy with it, and not interested in the OTA update, unless .596 is shown to have some wonderful new improvement over .595.
Hey guys i rooted and might of deleted some bloatware do i have to sbf to get it back so that i may get the update
i will be testing the OTA in a few HRS ...now my question is will there be more devs jumping back on board wigh new exciting roms cause i just got this phone 2 days ago and i see no activity and cant even find liverty 2.0 rom or rooting instructions for .340

So I was reading on the 3D forums and found this post.

Read it carefully. There is a post in that thread about a new tool that will work with any hboot.
Also saw this in the post on page 3.
"This got out before we could make a formal announcement, but unrevoked and alpharev will be merging sometime in the near future. We've always been very close, but we will be officially merging..."soon"."
Could be a big deal. Myn has said he's going to put out an app that automatically exploits some sort of temporary root hack when you reboot the phone. I imagine this would allow for root apps to work, but I don't think it'll allow for ROM flashing.
heck yeah if this works with all hboots, then game on!!!

If I read whats in the thread that the OP posted they say it works with all current hboots. So with them saying that it should work for the locked down Evo4g. I hope to heck it does, no root sux. Sounds like hopefully we won't have to wait much longer tho.
Heres my question that hopefully someone with more dev skills can answer... Supposedly sometime September-ish HTC is going to release an unlocked bootloader for the Evo 3d. Could someone utilize that to discover a flaw in the non-unlocked bootloaders and develop a root method for the Evo's in case this new tool doesnt cut the cake?
Whats with the 1.30 hboot? mines only 1.16
theres already a thread with the progrss to date on this, its a strong possibility we might see the root soon, just hold on to your panties and let this guys finish their work, already an exploit has been found with a temp root, although its not easily reproduced, but its a hole
Great news, I hope those guys do get it done. I'll contribute some cash to them for their hard work..
I for one am praying to the Evo Dev's and Gods out there that a Root is coming soon. I'm sick of my Evo and the bloatware.. almost wish I wouldnt have used my upgrade from LG Optimus S to Evo 4g.. Didnt really care for the Evo3d as it hurt my eyes after a bit, and even though the screen size says they are the same 4.3" I still think the Evo 4g has a better screen..
I'm pretty much in the same boat as y'all the waiting game is killing me... i've been trying to find some utoob vids on different ROMs so that as soon as i'm able to ROOT i already have an idea of what ROMs i wanna try out... how bout y'all any suggestions?
