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.

Now that the Slide is out, waiting for 2.1-- 2.2 SOON!
The Slide has been released today and it comes with 2.1. Since MY3G is supposed to get 2.1 as well, I wonder how much longer it will take. I haven't rooted since last time I tried, I bricked the phone. So I've been patiently waiting for the official ROM. Come on TMO!
EDIT:
So Tmo heard our prayers and have answered them. They will release 2.2 for Mytouch 3G soon. yes!
I was told by our HTC rep yesterday at my store that they expect to start rolling out updates by 16th but it could take up too a month for everyone to get theirs. So just watch for the alerts.
Re: Now that the Slide is out, waiting for 2.1
I couldn't take waiting, so I just rooted my phone.

Good to know, I'll be on the edge till the 16th. I've waited this long, guess a couple of weeks more to go. Wonder if they'll be a way to disable the Sense UI from it.

so how does it run with no sense and i different launcher
much faster. sense really bogs down the system in all honesty even with the speed it has coming straight from t-mo. My g1 was running just as fast one 1.6 as the slide was with sense on it.
howd you uninstall the the launcher and install another with out root???
Ok heres my story...I called T-Mobile 2 weeks ago, spoke to a rep in Android Tech Support, named Jessica...She said that it was coming to the MyTouch 2.1 most definately, but didnt have any idea as to when......Today I called T-Mobile again (just to hype myself up) and I spoke to a guy named Andre.....He at first said, "There are NO plans to release such an update, where did you hear about this?' I told him The T-Mobile.com forum...and several other sites...He went on to say, "Well that's just here say and thats the public talking, not T-mobile or Android."....Then said, "Wait I'm going to put you on hold and ask another representative who is taking classes for the MyTouch.".....So I wait.....5 minutes later he comes back and says, "Yeah sir there are NO future plans to release such an update."..So I asked, "How do you guys expect us to keep up to date with all your phones, when you release on every other month?"....He said, "Well that's technology sir."....I laughed and hung up.....
I would like other XDA members to call and ask the same ? and see how many different answers we can get....Maybe ONE DAY well get to see our MyTouches updated..
And come to think about it, We never recieved a SINGLE SYSTEM UPDATE EVER for the MyTouch...
I got a unlocked T-Mobile myTouch Fender LE, and currently using it on Wind Mobile network in Canada. If and when T-Mobile releases 2.1 OTA update, will I get a notification as well? Do I have to present physically in US with a T-mobile SIM card to get that update? I have been patiently waiting for the update for quite sometime, and so I didn;t root it yet. Any ideas, guys.

Google the name Andrew Sherrard. He's in charge of this who update operations and what not. He's been spewing info about the 2.1 updates for the past 4 months for the MyTouch. What has he told us? We will get a genius button, we won't get sense ui, an OTA may not be realistic but instead we might need to copy the update to an SD card wipe and flash. Expected to be out in Q2-Q3
Call my T-Mobile store btw.. (503) 362-0251
I'll tell you everything I know and so will everyone else working in the store.

So you're actually able to uninstall Sense UI? Would that leave it with a bare 2.1? If it ends up looking like an N1 that would be brilliant.

WOW can Sense UI be uninstalled? 4 REAL?
I thought it was a framework that the phone needed to run....
Anyway is MT 3G Slide a GSM phone?
I want to import it to Europe, but CDMA phones like Sprint doesent work here...
I've read recent reports that 2.1 won't have sense ui on the mytouch.. that would be sweet.

its kinda tricky i heard that to but apparently there calling it slide ui. so i think there just throwing every one off slide is tmobiles version of sense. so they can say it wont get sense ui but i bet if you ask them about slide ui it will be a different story

Is there any way to port the new 2.2 update from the original mytouch??
Yeah but with the 2.2 update push for the slide starting in 5 days (25th) so the rumor and t-mobile are saying, it would be pointless to port it. By the time anyone did, froyo would be out.
Hopefully this time t-mo is for real xD

I hope so. I love cyanogen's roms and everyone else that cooks but without the rom actually built for this phone it's missing out on some functions and isn't at it's full potential. They're doing their best but given what they have to work with it will fall short until then. So come on t-mobile!!!!

Read that 25th was the ending date for Orig.MT3G froyo release..so..Give us proof.
Thanks.
I saw somewhere that the update for the slide is going to start on oct 31 so... let's wait an see, if there is no news of froyo by that time maybe we will have to make a port of the 32b update or wait for the htc gratia (the aria version for europe) to come out next month which is running froyo sense whit hgva res and same processor as our slide n_n

I had read it in a few different threads and some various sites - like I said though, it's a rumor and sadly like all froyo rumors (so far) for the slide this one turned out to be false too
Hey all, I just thought I'd make this thread in the general talk as it wouldn't fit in the dev section... if it belongs elsewhere please do move.
when do you all think CM7 will come? if so will you be flashing it right away when it is released to us? best of all... do you have high hopes to it being stable over time? post away what you expect from it and when =]

There's a beta for the legend
http://derhofbauer.at/android/
It could be ported to slide but I think it's better to wait for actual espresso build instead. I think legend/aria roms will work on slide since it goes the other way around too, but that's possible by flashing a kernel on top of the rom. Not sure if that will work with CM7.
ahhhh, i see ha.. I wasn't even aware of such ROM for the legend.. yeah I'd to rather wait for an actual build for us slide users, It would save us time of porting it, etc.... I hope we at least will have stable wifi.
I have a build ready.. ported from the legend only thing is no menu/back/genius button or keyboard everything else works. I talked too cheifz reloaded and we cant figure it out so Im going back to compiling it from source, but if you guys wanna play with it ill upload it
Don't you need to reformat your recovery to ext3 for GB? I'm S-Off so it might be easier for me, but idk how'd they'd work this with temp. CW

You cant make a recovery ext3, that a linux file format. Ext3 is for disk space like sd,hdd only.Recovery is .img file.
Thanks for clearing that up for me, I heard a lot of talked of the Nexus S using ext3/4 instead of YAFFS so assumed we needed to do some reformatting to be able to run GB

Ext 4 will be used for INT memory only, so the speed of the phone is better than current phones like Galaxy S or desire hd,etc..
Can't wait till we get Gingerbread. It's already available for many devices. But it seems that we can only rely on Cyanogen some time later.
I hope it comes out with Gingerbread, now that would be awesome!

I'm glad this thread has somewhat started a talk lol... to many flame battles recently, anyways back on topic, Cyanogen said nightly builds will be out in a few days hopefully according to his twitter as a respond to someone. I hope this means us as well in a few days! I plan on using my mytouch with cm7 until T-Mobile releases a true top phone with dual core processor.
"we'll have nightly builds of CM7 going in a few days"
I saw a tweet from Wes Garner today that said he was working on GB for the Slide. Hopefully that means the CM team has a clear idea of how to make it fly with what HTC/TMO has released, source wise, for this phone.
My buddy is giving me his Nexus One in a couple of days ... I'm very excited to upgrade. I will keep this phone as a rock solid back-up so I hope development continues. I love my Slide and it's keyboard; it's going to be odd adjusting to a device w/out a keyboard.

This is really great news hope everyone to get the update at the same time not like 1.84 update....some dhd owners got it some of us didn't.
Not going out to gingebread in late March??
About time, was wondering when this would come out.
And let's hope there are no major flaws in the update Else would that be a bummer...
+1 for hoping it includes the new sense unlock screen!
So, what are you think, is it be better or worse than CM7?
