T-mobile G2 getting gingerbread? - G2 and Desire Z General

I'm kinda new on this android thing. But been doing research lately and found out about the latest software update coming soon.
Will gingerbread make it on the G2? Oh just to let you guys know and I do know that the supose minimum requirement were false, google tweeted on that debunking the requirements posted by someone on the web.

Ok not to be a pain but just so the new guys on here have an idea of whats going to be coming with this new ROM, can you post a link to a description?

G2 will get it.
Nobody knows what's coming. Probably new UI design.

Oye mira Boricua....looks like the G2 is in good shape!!

Hey guys! Every android phone is getting 2.2 exept the hero. But don't worry.... we'll give you an updated 2.1 that fixes sprint TV and NFL mobile....... The crowd goes wild!
If they really are only releasing an updated 2.1 then they really are major a-holes.

i agree, we do not need a 2.1 update when almost every other phone gets 2.2. who knows maybe they will surprise us with froyo.

Yeah, I'm hearing the Droid would be able to run it, but with minimum requirements. I also heard about dual core Android phones. Who knows what Android has in store for us..

Not true. We would need a Legend/Aria/MT3G Slide 2.2 ROM to port it over. IIRC, the Desire has an ARMv7 processor while the Hero has an ARMv6 processor

Anyone else feel Rom development is coming slow after root was achieved, custom time now are either a nearly stock desire sense Rom or cm's vanilla ROM, I haven't flashed a new Rom in a week

Ditto, I remember seeing you in the vibrant section. I just got my g2 2 days ago, sold my vibrant yesterday.
No complaints at all so far and I think this is a killer phone. Much happier now.

Gingerbread released for Nexus One

Hey guys! Don't know how many of you were watching, but the nexus one got its gingerbread update! Why does this matter? Well, the nexus one would have to be the first phone to receive the update and now that it has the floodgates are open! This is particularly good news for us g2 oowners, as we are running stock android and are one of the next in line for the update. Wooo!
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
We already have a very stable version running on our phones so realistically its not that great news, its good but nothing to be shouting about haha sooorrry.
Indeed, but for those without stock this is good news and those with it can expect performance increases in custom ROMs when it comes out from the drivers it will provide. Kinda win win.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
I really wish it was that simple but its not the case. Just because it "looks" like stock doesn't mean that there's tons of different from AOSP. Plus, the nexii phones don't need their updates to be carrier approved unlike the G2. IMO we won't get official gingerbread until mid-summer. Totally sucks but realistically it's what we'll have to put up with. I'd love an updated .35/.37 kernel from HTC though. CM7 is so amazing though that I wouldn't even worry about it.

But dude, we're a small group of super nerds. Even the guys struggling to root their phones and understand the concept of flashing ROMs are still far nerdier than most people.
Ahhh.. but the nerd life is a good life. So fricken' glad the Android platform has such a great community of super nerds.

Lol... true but we can't assume that everyone can root their device and know how to root their phone. So it will be good news for those who want the gingerbread update for the g2 but as for me I don't really care since I can use cyan7 running gingerbread already...

Apparently samsung has "confirmed" Gingerbread for the galaxy s phones in march. (Check the galaxy s I9000 forums) By that logic, we should be getting it before then, unless tmobile botches their "pure android" marketing component for the G2.

[Q] Anyone have any idea why virtuous quattro wont come to the MT4G?

Is it because Evil-D is gone or something?? idk i need an answer
No one on the Virtuous Team has a MT4G. The one member who does has been MIA for a long time.

Yeah they say that Evil D hasn't shown up in their IRC in over 2 months and hasn't been on XDA since like december or november
Wow, wonder if something happened to him?

i hope not! D: well okay guess i'll have to accept the far=ct that our phones are out dated ): but oh well i like it still
our phones are far from outdated, I have a few friends that still use G1's and the original DROID. its just that ppl want the newest and greatest things, nothing wrong with that. but unfortunately for me, its out of my price range to upgrade often but back on topic, hopefully Evil D is doing ok and just dealing with personal issues atm. was really looking forward to trying this rom tho

No idea. All I know is the Virtuous team officially stated in this thread that Quattro was cancelled because eViL D isn't around to participate. If someone else has a MT4G, I don't know who it would be. Despite Affinity being updated, it's possible no one on the team does.

hey guys get a htc doubleshot

hey guys ur current phone the g2 is kind of outdated and i think u guys should get a mytouch 4g slide. tmobile is giving out the mytouch 4g slide as a replacement. the mytouch has a cm7 rom, a sense 3.0 rom, multiple ics roms, and recently it got a miui rom released. i really think u guys should consider gettin this phone because it has a keyboard like the g2 and its super fast.
I have a samsung galaxy s2. I have the g2 as a backup phone.

The MyTouch 4G slide seems alright, but I really prefer the professional look and feel of the G2. That's probably half the reason I bought it!

Everything you have mentioned the doubleshot JUST got, we've had on the DZ for months and months before.
Exactly but the doubleshot is gettin more and more roms and its dual core

Exactly, I'm holding out for that. Besides, it will be a world phone (other versions of it like the Desire Z vs G2) instead of the MyTouch plasticy models for US specifically. Looking forward to those 2nd (maybe 3rd?) Gen dual cores with significant power saving and GPU upgrades like in the Ville this summer.
What an amazingly useless post.
