2.3

Quick question, so now that the Gingerbread SDK is released,,what does that mean? Do that mean that Devs will start making roms based off that or that the official Gingerbread 2.3 is right around the corner?

Any word on whether or not they decided to use that BlindType keyboard that they bought earlier?

I KNEW IT!! haha thank you

I'm not going to lie. I'm not impressed. Android's copy and paste icons look like something from about 10 years ago to me. I like HTC's version better.
And the updated ui does look a little better now that everything is black with green highlights. Still an ugly ui overall.

It just helps app developers get up to speed. People have tried to do roms from these but they come out very hacky at best. The source for 2.3 is needed for full roms. The is the sdk.

I suppose that HTC has it in development already so they can inlay Sense over top of this. Also, now all the Dev's can start developing their new Rom's with this base. Hopefully Flipz is still on top of his game! No telling how long it will be before Sprint is done with it. I would imagine they will hold up any official update for whatever they have to do. It's just a matter of time now.

I swear I've embedded videos on the forums here ...

Android 2.3 sure looks ugly. I guess I'll be making a theme that makes it look like Froyo.

it means devs can start making apps for it im i think , but knowing xda theyll do their thing and have roms out before the official release

One of the stated features of GB is "better keyboard". One would assume that may mean "yes" to your question.

I believe Eclipse

Any rumblings around on whether or not Sprint/HTC will be releasing a 2.3 build...I know I'm jumping the gun considering this just happened, but wanted to get some opinions.

Does the Hero have Froyo? Does the Moment? We wont know until/if it happens.
Either way we probably won't see a official 2.3 device on Sprint for at least a few months.

Who else is done flashing Roms/Kernels until Cyanogen comes to the vibrant?

I'm done flashing anything. I stopped on Axura and that's that. It's Cyanogenmod or bust.
I'm not even doing the beta crap either. I'm waiting for the first..maybe second, non beta official release.
anyone else?

Did you call the newspaper and let them know? This could land you on page 9 of the local nitwit section

I like Axura. Just flashed 2.2 today and everything is fine except i havent been able to send a MMS yet. Im sure ill get it fixed soon. 2.1 was running great for me. Guess is should of just kept that one.

I'll hold my breath for cyanogen the same I do for samsung. I've used cm on various devices, and while good, what exactly is it going to bring to the vibrant that team whiskey (or any other current dev besides axura) doesn't? They have bugs and issues, maybe not a ton, but they're there.
I'm happy with my tw vibrant.

Hey Vegas have you tried using handcent from the market for sending mms? It fixed my issues.

Guys, some pretty childish posts in here. It's a valid discussion for the general section. If it's not worth your time then just don't post in here.
Op,
I'm running r13 and don't think I going to flash anything else till a stable 2.3 rom or cm comes out.

I Agree!
Cleanup thread!
Deleted Off topic.
Please keep the topic of the thread!

I started with the G1 and have flashed too many ROM's to remember. I have found quite a few that I liked more than Cyanogen. Even though he has done a great job, just his name on a ROM doesn't make it the best there is.

not me!!, I'm going to keep flashing everytime there is a new rom I think is worth trying out, after all how will I know if I like something better if I don't try it?

What has the world come to? How can anyone call themselves loyal XDA followers and not be flashing a rom??? Its your duty.

3.0?
I thought 3.0 is only for tablets? I thought 2.4 was going to be the next Phone update.

Well, as we haven't even gotten 2.3 on the captivate yet..it will probably be a while for 3.0..hopefully it doesn't just work on tablets.

Well I heard news that the Nexus and Desire got a port of honeycomb, but they're non functioning atm

Truthfully...
Truthfully, I don't think that many developers truly tried to port 2.3 to us. Supercurio got that test demo out, but no one ever put out a legitimate ROM. And if we have to rely on Samsung... Well, lets just get used to having Froyo.

This just in: Cyanogenmod dropping development on CM7 for SGS.
Just kidding, but I couldn't resist. Lol

No it's a work in progress. If it was ready believe me you would know.

I've been using it for less than a day, but no show stoppers if you know what you're doing. phone works, mms/sms work, wifi can cause kernel panics if it falls asleep (just set to never sleep)... you can thank atinm and the cmsgsteam for it, but CM7 is VERY MUCH SO on the way and in progress

also, I already see this as going to be my daily driver at this point. the only "problems" I've seen are listed above (oh and the camera doesn't work quite yet, can't actually snap photos, just FC's on trying... but barcode scanner works)

not to mention the battery life is about 10% an hour on light usage

im hoping for the best and would love a solid release. I wish I knew more so I could help :/

Been my daily for 2 weeks.
If anyone is prepared to do some work the rom is there. Just don't show up and ask how to install Linux, what is terminal etc. You need to be self sufficient, its not a simple cwm flash.

If you make a phone sized AVD from the honeycomb SDK, you get a very functional phone ROM. Looks very similar to gingerbread.

It really doesn't look like CM devs couldn't care less about the SGS.

Petition: ZenExp Rev8 to be Re-opened

Ok, I've been waiting for this rom to be released and finding out that it was canned due to lack of interest. If enough votes we can get this rom reopened and released. This rom needs to be released so it can break the monotony of the Gingerbread and Honeycomb roms thats out there. ZenExp rev 7 was beautiful and I can't even imagine how Rev 8 would look like.
Please vote to have this roms released. Thank you.
P.S. I don't know no other way to state my vote, maybe by typing "please release"

i would like to see this reopened.

Yes! I was on this for a year, and I had to finally move on -- one of the saddest days of my life. I would love to see Rev8!

Yea I'll vote even though Im on a Dinc now. I still have my Eris laying around enjoying its retired life. Could have made a poll to go with your thread.
DINC|CM7|INCREDIKERNEL

This was one of my favorite roms. I use xtrSENSE now. The froyo and gingerbread roms are alright. I just don't really care for them. The sense based roms run so much smoother on my phone. I would love to see this reopened. I would definitely rock it.

Excellent people, keep it coming. We need to let MAK know that we love his work. GB is great but there are too many roms that look the same. I use now GSB and go back and forth with xtrSense/xtrRom. I would love to see this released. It'll be my everyday rom.
If this comes out I wouldn't get another phone. All these phones coming out with different UI and downloadable 3d ui's that the Eris can't handle. But if this comes out I'll be more than satified.

Hm, maybe I'm missing something, but I'm not sure I see whats so appealing about that UI. Hopefully this doesn't sound like I'm trying to rag on your idea, I'm not, trust me.
Are there any screenshots laying around that "show it off" a little better?

Its not my work, but somebody elses. Its simple and different from all those Gingerbread roms (they are all so plain). At least this rom has some themes that are appealing.
You may look on this thread on the 5th page for the zenexp rev7 to get an idea and some more info. but its the same screen shots I posted.

The reason they are plain is for u to
Do what u want with them... I find that when I add something people want less

I had a feeling it was for people to create their own. I just noticed that with all the CM7 themes. they look awesome.

Onskreen from Cornerstone is open to all.

It is now open source. There is a ROM for the WiFi Xoom. And the source code has been released for the dev comunity. Team EOS where are you? 3G Xoom ROM? Any way, just wanted to put this out there.

Runs fairly well in my opinion.
Sent from my Droid Incredible 2

Tried installing on it my UK WiFi Xoom, but it didn't really work.
First I tried to connect to WiFi - it saved my WiFi network, but wouldn't connect to it. After a reboot it connected.
Second when attempting to log into my Google account I tapped in the email field but the keyboard would not appear. I had to hit the back button for the keyboard to appear.
Third it kept saying that I had input a wrong password even though I'm sure it was the correct password, so a no-go getting Gapps to work.
Based on the hassle with these seemingly three simple things (have flashed several roms and never experienced this) I hardly doubt that this rom will be a favourite of mine anytime soon...

can anyone video-review it?
is it just the same as their ICS SDK vid?

This whole thing seems like a security no-no.
(I don't install any rom that's not completely open source and from an established and trustworthy team.)
Also, while this is a neat idea, ultimately it's a framework mod and unless it goes into AOSP, which I can't see happening, it looks destined to the gee whiz niche.

So I only just found out about onskreen a few hours ago...

Sorry to hear it's been pulled but it's understandable...I had some stability issues. But it will be a great addition to EOS ICS Rom once it's been worked over.
That's one of the reasons why these nightlies are so exciting--you never know what fun surprises are in store!
Thanks a million, guys.

How much tweaking can be done to this? I mean since its open source then we could tweak it as much as we want, no?
