When devs make this into a ROM I just hope they make a ROM for mytouch then a seperate ROM for the g1 if they have to remove some things to fit into the pathetic ROM partition of the g1 so the mytouch/magic users can enjoy ALL the goodies of 2.1 (I love the animated wallpapers)

The way the community is moving, we'll have 2.1 before that. This is exciting, however.

that is true but now we can get full 2.1 without things that are missing and it will be hell of a lot more stable. Plus it will be faster and stuff like that. But I'm 70% we can get a fully working, 100% stable, 110% faster 2.1 ROM before spring or shortly after this update is released.

What's great about this news, is that Rogers in Canada was so disappointed that google said they weren't upgrading the g1 to 2.1 they are giving all rogers g1 users a free magic so they can enjoy it.

lawlz. I'm guessing they are so desperate to keep people on their service they are giving away free phones.

anyone care to enlighten me how the hell some people are getting 34megaflops on the EVO... am i doing something wrong... ?

I think it was pc magazine that did a mobile network data test recently and they found that here in raleigh Durham ATT's 3g was faster than Sprint's 4g.

The EVO has a much higher screen resolution than the Hero from what I know so that would explain Nanocore. The EVO's resources are being hogged by the HTC Crapware they have the need to install on every damn phone, so once we remove those and get to where the Nexus one is at(Google software only for the most part) then we can do an actual benchmark.

True I hope HTC sees this and gives us options to run their crap or bone stock aosp...
that neocore was unexpected... I guess the hero got a lot of life left in it after all...

Official Froyo is here. Should we start a Gingerbread Topic? :p

looks like there is a small hope

"HTC will attempt at upgrading many of its smartphones. These will probably include HTC Droid Eris, HTC Hero, HTC Hero CDMA, HTC Desire, HTC Wildfire, HTC EVO 4G, HTC Incredible and HTC Sapphire. In about three months, Google will release Android 3.0 Honeycomb and there are rumors that HTC will produce an Android tablet around that time."
NOT OFFICIAL. So don't get excited about it.

everything looks ok, no data losses. but no live wallpapers.
PS: actually, data connection not working anymore

Would it be possible to port the HTC 3D Sense UI from the EVO 3D to regular WVGA devices?

Not so soon

i know, im just talking about the possibility when it is out?

We won't know until there is a dump of the rom available to us. But given the difficulty in porting the current batch of sense 2.1 roms to the desire, I'm guessing porting the evo 3D is going to be even more problematic.

I really like this idea...

it would be great ! ^^

might be my next Android phone
Like the whole concept!

Afaik the interface is not 3D..the "3D" in the name refers to the fact that the display is 3D ready and to the double 5mpixel sensor. Not to Sense UI.

UI is simple 2D. The 3D come from the 3D camera.

It has also a cube like transition effect when you switch your homescreens.

When you tilt te device, you will see depth in the widgets, just like on the HTC Flyer Tablet.. that's another thing why they call it '3D'.

Yep trough the device.hope is gonna be ported

HTC Pyramid will come with the same Sense 3.0 and it's 2D

Pyramid's gonna be my next phone, can't wait for it

You need to install a theme that has the interface you want.

I've been running 2.3.5 fruitcake without webtop since it was uploaded. Works perfectly.
Just loaded webtop update today, and hdmi webtop hack. It works !!!!
* EDIT ; it still has H+ icon though. Not a concern since the fruitcake is freaking solid. Manually added features from Noattach like 1% mod and quickpanel.
