full Froyo or press release.

I've been noticing a lot of the apps on the market stating that we all have press release versions of Froyo. Is this true?

Can you give some examples?
Haven't seen this.

yeah, PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!

look at nexus mod...
and look at this http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/22/android-2-2s-froyo-goodness-hitting-the-nexus-one-already/ check out the 3rd update
We've done some additional investigation, and as far as we can tell, Google is only updating review Nexus Ones that had been provided to the press -- not off-the-shelf phones. We'll stay on this and let you know more as soon as we do.

If that turns out to be the case, we will get the new file so we can flash it; if not we can alway download the old 2.1 update file, flash and then let the OTA hit the phone.

Really? I thought everyone interested enough in tinkering with gadgets (aka nerds, JK ) knew Freeman, the famous silent protagonist armed with the mighty crowbar. Or maybe I'm just getting old and ppl don't play PC games anymore.
Anyway, hopefully a new rom will come. I still have problems mounting the SD card which sometimes causes crashes. And also missing market links.

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.

I know, I was using the porn thing as a joke.
$600 to spend on a phone. Sure, I could have gotten an iPhone, but no, what did I get? An HD2. Why? Things can be done with this phone that the iPhone will never see. Multi OS capability? HD2 yes, iPhone no. Android? HD2 yes, iPhone - maybe. If I wanted some old man tellin' me what to do, heck, I'd just speak to my grandfather. (if he were alive)

Nand Benchmarking
I don´t know its useful. I found today an app called"Android hacker's system tool "
This tool can Benchmarking NAND and SD card. It was Interesting to see the difference of Android on Nand and Android on SD. But at this moment only devs can test this.

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

Can it?

No.

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.

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?

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)

IS there a future for HD2 and WP7 ?

Will the Dark Forces Team continue development for our HD2's ?
Does anyone know if they are planning on continuing development, or does all this depend on Microsoft's updates ?

I am quite excited waiting to find out the answer.
I guess we won't know until we know unless someone has contacts within DFT?
I will continue to use WP7 even if the current version is the last for the HD2 as long as this version continues to let me buy apps from the market. Hoping that MS don't lock that aspect down.

Have Cotulla, others, and the members of the Dark Forces Team ever you let you down on past projects? Maybe that is one way of looking at the question of the OP.

I dont think there is a future.... I mean... 2012 is near and then the world will end, with or without WP7 on HD2..
Why do you ask this (stupid) question? is there a reason or info that nobody will develop anymore? Just wait or start developing yourself^^

I think things will really start to flow after Microsofts updated coming "soon". There will be no point of releasing another rom before that.

What do you need from DFT? Normal features should work (which are less than android only having better looks =/ )
Actually there are people working on a kitchen, MS will update and i think there will be some nice updates vom DFT in future.

At this time i wouldn't recommend to change to a new phone, I first wanted to do it myself, but then I stopped to thinking on it. Here's why:
- The smartphones will soon get a huge step forward, there will be models with dual and even quadcores in it ^^
- There will be new batteries with up to 10000 mah but they dont use the normal battery slot to fit in the phone, they are quite smaller
- The display type will soon change to Amoled, so it gets slowly standarised
Normally when you purchase a phone, you want to take it for at least 2 years, so you would miss all that (ok the new battery will take a while until it comes out )
