List of Phones slated to get Froyo

http://www.androidcentral.com/officially-unofficial-android-22-upgrade-list
Our beloved Hero isn't on the list, but the MyTouch3G Slide is, perhaps that will mean an easy port eh?

Hmm. The Hero isn't in any of the categories... I guess the Evo buried the other Sprint Androids.

Yeah the Hero is more than capable to run it. Kind of disappointing but not suprising, Want Froyo, buy a new phone. I wish Google had the power to say, want to sell an Android phone? Then push our updates to all android based phones you sell.

That is very true. There is also a root-kit that prevents you from saving anything important. The first Windows Phone 7 phone was announced today. You should get one!

Umm....Yep that's right, actually its part of the 4gb nand module that has some sort of overwrite protection. Best to steer clear in my opinion, .

... there is always security at that level. There is nothing new here. The "security" is getting blown out of proportions. It isn't that good based on the reports from non-sensationalized outlets.

Winphone 7, from the makers of Vista OS. I should be in marketing.

Please stop spreading misinformation about how the protection "works."
The phone does not restore anything. The changes are simply never written in the first place - the Sandisk chip lies to the OS that writes have been committed, and the OS cache continues to present the cached copy until it is flushed or rebooted.
In other words, T-Mobile has lied, thrown HTC under the bus, and is going against the whole concept of Open Source and Android. T-Mobile and HTC see Android as a cash cow - they could care less about Linux, Open Source and following the GPL.
My G2 will be on its way back to T-Mobile tomorrow over this. It's my phone, if I cannot do with it as I please, I don't want it.

Adios HTC Hero.....

Hey all,
Just thought I would inform you that my Epic 4g is officially ordered, and I will receive it in approximately one week. Not only do I want to thank everyone for their amazing support of me for my time on the hero forum, but I'd like to let you know what I will maintain while I'm gone in the Epic section. I WILL still maintain my Q&A section, and will look for questions in my Themes. I will not be releasing new versions of themes, however. If you all would like the themes ported for the latest versions of CM, feel free to do that I just want to let everyone here know that they've helped me develop as a themer and developer, and I will miss this section. And please, feel free to join me as an Epic user
Thank you all again,
-theimpaler747

Hey impaler I just want to thank you for putting your time into the themes that you did for everyone and the htc ime keywords. Have fun with your samsung epic 4g.

Can the Gingerbread build that runs in RAM be loaded from NAND?

Can it?

No.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

Nope. It will blow up and explode your phone, until it becomes a smoking brick. It can also cause obnoxious diahriea and non stop crying due to bricked phone syndrome.
In all seriousness, it is possible, but there are no gingerbread roms out there yet for NAND boot.

ThaDeanesta is correct the diarrhea caused by a Ginger-Ram-Nand ROM is rather obnoxious and I have not stopped crying since I flashed it...

If you dont like silly answers, dont ask silly questions. Simple!
If it was possible (currently) to run Gingerbread from NAND there would be a Gingerbread NAND rom, there isnt, so ther answer is NO.
You could have answered your own question simply by looking in the dev forum ffs, why not just use the seach function and search topic titles for the word "NAND" ????
Again, simple!

Seriously man, if you thought that my question was silly, the way you answered just gave away that you have no other life outside this blog. Not everyone understands technical jargon as much a you have shown with your sarcastic responses. I wonder if I would've gotten the same if we were standing in front of each other? A simple yes or no would've been sufficient. Now go and flame some other new member...Flame¿QueeN?!

There are many of us who come on here as a hobby---and almost all of us have a common goal- to make our phones better. If you think we have no other life, you're wrong!
Answer to bold number one: Yes, I'm sure you would have. I tend to be very sarcastic all the time!

The OP was asking if there was a NAND RAM Gingerbread rom out there.

cant it be loaded from nand to ram as it is from sd card?it would be faster i guess and also stabler..but thats upon the brain of the forum.basically nothing of all this can happen till they make it happen..

I don't think the OP is asking if there is a NAND RAM Gingerbread rom already, but if it is possible to make a rom like this.
And although there is no such rom yet, I'm also wondering if it is possible.
(I've never used a RAM rom though)

I hope this will make it to our Vibrants. Seems silly to make it exclusive when they could stand to make a lot more money selling these games to all high end phones.
EDIT: I read in an interview with Jack Tretton (on engadget I believe) that Playstation Suite is only for Gingerbread, and that it will come to the only phone available right now with Gingerbread, the Nexus S. So I don't think they'll limit it to SE phones, but we will need Gingerbread if we wanna get in on the fun.

Hopefully this will allow us to send and receive messages form our PSN accounts to our phone. i would love to be able to get my ps3 messages on my phone!

yeah I read about this on cent or engadget a little while ago but from my understanding the it's only going to be able to run on Nexus S phones and the new dual core phones that are coming out. But either way it's rad and I hope they do end up making it work on the Vibrant

abd how come nexus s is different from my vibrant besides camera flash and lack of external sd ? if it runs on nexus runs on vibrant

The Nexus S runs Gingerbread while the vibrant officially does not. That's what people are getting at unfortunately. So unless GB is in the works by Samsung and carriers are actually going to push it through to the devices we may not officially see it. But we all have things like CyanogenMod which makes everything a bit simpler in the long run.
