myTouch 3G Series, Getting Froyo (Android 2.2)
08 June 2010 by David Junior
Good news for all you myTouch 3G owners. You’re getting Android 2.2!!! This has recently been confirmed by T-Mobile that Froyo will be coming soon. There is currently no word on if the G1 will receive this update as well.
Judging from the picture above I would say that every version of the myTouch 3G is getting some Froyo love. So whether you have a version 1.2, Fender or the original, you can expect to get the update to 2.2 soon. This update not only includes all the goodies that Froyo has to offer, there will be a few extra incentives. The genius button will make its way to every myTouch as well as full exchange support and the new Faves gallery. These features are already included in the new myTouch Slide. I guess the anticipation can now begin. Congratulations my Touch owners you’re now the third phone to officially have 2.2 on the way.

HOW DO I DO THAT AND SORRY FOR POSTING IN WRONG PLACE i dont know how to move it if can your more that welcome too
Noob question, but doesn't this mean that the 2.2 release for the MT3G will be relatively easily ported to the G1?
yes, exactly. within hours/days this port will be made rooted, and available for g1 as well
wow, cant wait for froyo run on my dreams....
good, but ... they don't speak about Flash as a main feature, officially it will not be supported... so still it will need some hacking
I call bull. They have been talking about updating forever now. If the ORIGIONAL mytouch does get official 2.2 then I will be VERY shocked. Im just glad I rooted and have 2.1 or else I would still be stuck on 1.6.

Its due to the 32B being the android dev phone 2 (google ION) and it has enough space to run 2.2
Google were showing 2.2 running on the ION at the I/O convention
Yeah but...
They also had G1's running 2.2 at Google I/O and the pretty much have come out and said that the G1 isn't officially getting 2.2. I hope it is true, but I have serious doubts.

G1 wont, its possible as the ION 32b and g1 are identical. It's just a space issue, and the way the community gets around this is with a Dangel SPL, cant see t-mobile/google pushing out the danger SPL OTA.
uhh?

I know that the major issue is space on the phone, I just know they also had 2.2 on both G1's and ION's at Google I/O, but that doesn't necessarily mean either phone is getting it esp since they have all but said that the G1 isn't getting 2.2. I hope that ION/MT3G/Magic get 2.2 because it will make it just that much easier to port over to the G1. Until I see either Google/Tmobile/HTC announce that the MT3G is getting it, I have my doubts about it. In reality though most people on this forum will probably have 2.2 on both the G1 and MT3G because of the wonderful devs we have on here. Thanks guys!

Don't think its bull. I was in a T-mobile store this past Satuday, which was before androidspin or tmo news even announced the MyTouch was receiving 2.2. I spoke to a rep there who told me they had just received emails from T-mobile stating that 2.2 was being released soon for the MyTouch.
yeah I'm thinkin' if the device has a google logo on the back it might get a 2.2 update sooner than others.
This should've been in general. :| Please READ the rules before posting such topics as this has little bit to do with development.

Why would you think that? 2.2 Will be released to htc's newest phones as well as motorola's. I won't believe a dream OTA release until I see it we have been promised something like this before, if there is only one for the magic chance's are we are just going to dump that one and put it on our G1's.

Not to drag this any further, but i said "sooner than others", but then again, I am probably wrong. Though the driod as well will probably get a 2.2 update soon(has google logo on it).. I wasn't refering to new android devices too, stats show new android versions dwarf the last version fast..especially as stock ROMS.
"No phones left behind, that's our pledge"
Well what about my G1 huh?
HUH?
Thought so. Broke there promise already.

It has not yet been leaked.
It looks awesome, I can't wait... and it has been leaked, it's been leaked for week or so.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567821
there's already a dump leaked from the motorola sholes phone that's running eclair (2.0) but it hasn't been ported. (or should I say hasn't been released because drizzy already ported it) Drizzy mentioned that it's just plain android 2.0 with no overlayer such as touchflo, or blur
dam u beat me 2 it lol
Yeah Maxisma did the dump of it on this thread. They're working on a port and development. I can't wait.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567821
i am pretty excited, 2.0 looks fly. really hope cyanogen gets on the case.
these screenshots are from the motorola droid, as u can see in the model info. Drizzy tweeted this last night sayin if someone can get him the dump that he'd port it. Now I see what he was talkin bout with droid... google's finally tagging along with motorola and htc with the social integration but of course it's NOTHING compared to blur or even hero. it looks real weak with only facebook?? wow. but it's a start. this looks somewhat plain but knowing this is from a moto phone that's probably not even the stock 2.0.
It's sorta weird having 1.6 released and then 2.0 pretty quickly afterwards. Maybe Google never plans on releasing an official 2.0 for the Dream/Sapphire and 1.6 was it's last update?

Most likely, cuz the g1 had issues about whether 1.6 would even be on it... so with this update they're making sure that people will be ready for buying more new phones I guess
Cooooooooooool! This is a huge step
I'm very impressed at how big a jump 1.6 and 2.0 is, do wants that maps and Car Home, heres hoping Sholes goes GSM with T-mobile 3g (one can dream)
Looks sweet!
if you all are impresssed with the screenshots check out the boot animation on this thing it pretty nice:
http://phandroid.com/2009/10/15/motorola-droid-boot-video/
Hope is that Cyanogen can move this one along. I for one really like the Facebook integration.
Also, randomly on my wish list is a Reply button always on the Gmail app, or chance to customize which 3 buttons are at the bottom of the Gmail app when viewing a message.
I'm hoping that Google streamlined the code from 1.6-2.0 so overall there won't be any major space/performance issues.

This explains the lack of updates form many devs in regards to 1.6, they all probably figured it a waste of time with 2.0 right around the bend.

Probably because, in reality, 1.6 is 1.5 with some minor bugfixes and universal search.

Google was saying themselves that they weren't sure at first whether they would release a 1.6 OTA update for the G1... but then their developers got it smaller to G1 size. not that it matters for us cuz we can get it whether they release it or not thanks to these awesome devs
I know Froyo was just recently announced, and the incredible has yet to be rooted, but assuming that it eventually does get rooted, is it unreasonable to assume there will be a way to get a stock 2.2 ROM onto a rooted incredible?
I just read over on engadget that "most" HTC devices will get Froyo by the end of the year, and being a sense-based device, I would assume it would be receiving a Sense-ified 2.2. Thanks for all the help.

Just a few threads down this is being discussed. It looks like Evo, Droid, Incredible will be getting it in June. This is not a huge leap like it was going from 1.6 to 2.1. It shouldn't take too long for this to be rolled to all.

The Droid Incredible and the Droid are two different phones by two different manufacturers.
For our phones there's no specific information, just that Droid Incredible and other flagship phones are a priority.
I would guess that if the EVO gets it, we are too, considering they're both CDMA, SenseUI, and are the flagship android phones for the carrier they're on. it wouldn't make sense not to.
Yes yes, as I pointed out in that thread. I was piggy backing off of your hope and optimism. My bad.

I never implied we were getting it in June. All I ever said was that the N1 and Droid were getting it in June, because they're both stock Android.
The only way we're getting it in June is if we manage to root by then and can install a port.
Even if we don't, we'll be among the first SenseUI phones to get it. When exactly that is depends on a lot of things, how different the API for 2.2 is, how long it takes HTC to produce Sense for 2.2, how long carrier testing takes, whether there's an early leak, etc
Well I can tell you this much, jit and sense do not play nice together, so it may be awhile for HTC to get all the bugs worked out.
Its supposed to be way faster than even 2.1 so on our device it should be awesome. I just wish (though I doubt HTC will do it) they would give us the option to turn off Sense UI. Its nice but it really should be optional. That would make 2.2 complete for me without rooting. Otherwise this phone will never be complete for me until rooted.

Sorry if this question has been asked in any of the other threads involving Froyo - but are there any specific reasons why SenseUI and JIT don't work well together? Is this based on experiences with custom ROMs for other devices using JIT and SenseUI or is this something that's a bit more officially recognized?

This is based off of others using a incomplete version of JIT from eclair and attempting to use it on eclair.
as soon as my incredible has root with custom recovery i will be releasing a 2.2 custom froyo rom based on stock 2.2 as well as porting any 2.2 sense leaks that are released. all we need is root

Edit: could this be the "something big" that tmobile said was happening on the 19th?
I've heard somewhere that anything released 2009 and after will have a 2.2 update given to it.

HTC said that *most* of the phones launched in 2010 would get the upgrade. Until now, no other 1st generation phone has had any sort of confirmation for fryo (besides the ION).

... which would be enough since its a 32B and therefore compatible with DREAM. In fact, it would be BETTER than a tmobile OTA since it won't be polluted with the tmobile junk and will come with root.
Watch here for updates for this device: http://developer.htc.com/google-io-device.html
Great news that Android 2.2 will be added onto the MyTouch.
With that hopefully Cyanogen can get his hands on it as well and get it going for our G1s as well
He is already out with it. It is still under test and lot of things are broken in it, but if you wanna try Froyo just for the heck of it, you can on G1 and Mytouch

Actually, what this will mean is that we will be able to get a STABLE 2.2. The state of "cyanogen stable" is actually extremely unstable.
It would be nice to have an OEM 2.2 build just with a few extras... you know, the things that you actually use rather than just jamming in all the bling you can imagine.

You seem to be confused.
There are 2.2 "ports", based on the EMULATOR IMAGE that comes with the SDK. They don't work in even a marginally usable fashion though -- they're not even worth wasting 10 seconds on.
i downgraded from cyan 6 and unrooted ... asa root was undone i got the first half of 2 files for an OTA. Ditched the phone today in favor of a keyboard (seeing as their essentially the same) before i got the rest of it. It IS coming boys!!!

Absolutely agree. Thats precisely what i'm waiting on. It would be really nice to see other builds come out based on oem. We will see what happens soon. Enomther is waiting to start working on just that i believe. Cant wait to see what he come up with.
The Rom in my signature is based on the OTA for MyTouch/Sapphire and it is amazing.
Reminds me of my other daily driver Super D.... yes it is that good.
Full Wipe and Flash and experience it for yourself.

Enom is one of the first Roms I flashed, he is also up there for reliability.
Will see what he releases as well.
Hopefully he will have an apps2ext built into his Rom.
Honestly the black theme and the above mentioned is the only thing that is missing from the Official AOSP 2.2 OTA
There is a workaround using Titanium Backup however but would want a more streamlined approach to accomplish this.
Many people think it is dead and there are no devs working on it anymore, but this isnt true. There are still multiple devs with this phone, yes some are working on other phones but look at this device, it has everything. We already have Froyo, and really we need the source to get the bluetooth working so now were only waiting for HTC to release the source. You could be on another device that is outdated or even unsupported anymore.
So be patient, well be getting S-Off and Official Froyo soon

anyone remember the "froyo coming soon" in june? i don't we're going to get official froyo at all. Look at most roms, "updated 10/08!!!!" thats more than a month that it was updated, the development for this phone is dead.
Development isn't dead it's just slowed. There are new phones to work with. It's more fun to dev on a phone that's new and to an extent unknown than one that's pretty much given up all its secrets.

I'm not a developer, but I do know that this would be an extremely difficult task due to different screen resolutions. Just wait for official TMO Slide 2.2 and we'll have some great roms no doubt about that.

We are. T Mobile has confirmed it on many occasions. If froyo is on the myTouch 3G...we will 100% get it on the Slide.
By the time we get official Froyo, there will be Gingerbread already for some devices I think. I wish they skipped Froyo to release Gingerbread update instead.
From HTC and Tmo's standpoint, updating these phones is gotta be the last thing on there minds.
Face it updating these phones doesn't make them any money.
Frankly they'd both be happier if you just bought another phone.
Manufacturers and Telco's are in the business of selling phones and cellular service.
Not making FREE updates.
I realize if we had official froyo from Tmo and the bluze source that would add additional functionality to our phones,
but, personally I don't even care.
What I mean is that I'm satisfied with what team douche and the bunch, as well as other devs are doing and have done for our phone.
I put more faith in what they will come up with than waiting on anything from HTC and Tmo.
You people(not all) are impatient, I had a cliq and they promised us 2.1 update last december, you when cliq users got it? Acouple weeks ago! Ya ok it maybe a little while but if you had any consideration of what their doing, youd be a little more patient. They have port the whole rom to 2.2, some may say that isnt so hard you go and try and port a app or something from 2.1 to 2.2, Goodluck. Also I talked to Cheifz and he said S-Off is done for the Slide and AlphaRev is waiting to finish S-Off for another device so they can release both at the sametime.

Third paragraph.
So why does the Epic have 2.2.1 and we only have 2.2??? can someone pull the 2.2.1 kernel and stick it in one of our roms???
2.2 for us was the "here's your froyo, now shut up" update for us.
2.2.1 is coming but it's back to the waiting game.
Just be happy we got an official 2.2 and source code.

I understand why they pushed it out to us, but still if they have 2.2.1 on the Epic then we should, at the very least, have seen one or two leaked builds with 2.2.1. So far all of our post "shutup" release's have all been 2.2 and those have even stopped coming.
I guess my main reason for posting was not really complaining as much as could we rip the Epic apart and use it in our custom ROM's?

I understand why they pushed it out to us, but still if they have 2.2.1 on the Epic then we should, at the very least, have seen one or two leaked builds with 2.2.1. So far all of our post "shutup" release's have all been 2.2 and those have even stopped coming.
I guess my main reason for posting was not really complaining as much as could we rip the Epic apart and use it in our custom ROM's?

Krylon360 mentioned that Samsung changed their ports they used for their ROM updates so they have had issues trying to find the ROMs.
Does the Galaxy S 4G ship with 2.2.1 or still 2.2? If so, then the old Vibrant may have just been passed over (hopefully only temporarily).
The Epic shipps with Eclair. It just got its FroYo update, and it's 2.2.1 instead of just 2.2.
2.2.1 on Galaxy S phones runs much better than 2.2 (which has worse performance than JI6 on our phones, IMHO).
The reason why we don't have 2.2.1 is because so many people cried about the Vibrant following the Vibrant 4G announcement and T-Mobile/Samsung wanted to save face.
The fact that they pushed 2.2 out and they haven't heard many complains about KA6 from customers (I haven't seen many on FB/Twitter/T-Mo Forums) means that getting 2.2.1 out to Vibrant 3G users is probably one of their lowest priorities.

Probably true. As if I needed another reason to be thankful for XDA / it's generous members.
I was under the impression that 2.2.1 was only for the 4g variants of the galaxy s.... maybe I was misinformed...

never heard that, and 2.2.1 is on the nexus one so it is not an upgrade for 4G reasons. The OS version really doesn't do anything for connectivity.
