Will G1 go 2.0?

With all this talk about this phone has 2.0 and that phone getting 2.0, will it eventually become available for the G1 or is our hardware too outdated?

Officially or Unofficially yes.

I hope it does go 2.0. Though if not I do hope the maybe the cm roms that we are getting will have the bits and pieces. I have seen the vids and well tested the 2.0 software and for the most part I am excited. And since I am to poor to upgrade to any new phone plus I really do love my G1 all we can do is cross fingers. As for out dated I see this phone lasting a long time due to the great potention and centimental aspect that other G1 users have.

It will work. check Cyanogen's tweets on twitter or www.cyanogenmod.com

will just make 3wishes
1.I wish i have 2.0
2.I wish i have 2.0
3.I wish i have 2.0
DAMN!!! Now they got 2.1

stock users wont get it but as soon as Google releases the source tree u know cyan will start to merge the code

I was about to ask this same question. I want to get a new android device and can't decide whether to get another G1 or another device. I like my G1 but I definately want to see 2.0 and Google Maps Nav. Is it safe to buy a G1 and know I'll be able to use these down the road?

it really depends, the new google maps wil very much likely be merged into cyans code, but if you arent locked down with t-mobile a switch to verizon for the droid is worth some thought

Here in Austria T-Mobile officially confirmed that the G1 will get Android 2.0 (as the first phone here; we won't get the motorola sholes).

Do you have a link for proof?

What gives you this idea? Cyan is no longer implementing any Google apps.. there may eventually be a 2.0 recovery image that is flashable on the G1 or some sort of recovery image with these new apps... but cyan is definitely not releasing google maps.. or any other new releases of google software in his roms..
I am not saying that they wont become available on the G1.. because I am about 99% confident that we will get the apps.. and we will get the 2.0... but im also about 100% positive we wont see those new apps in Cyans rom
(sorry for bein rude... it just gets old when people just blurt out stuff that doesnt make sense.... if you are at all familiar with xda.. and cyan.. and android.. then you know cyan can no longer distribute any google apps)

Can someone translate this:
"Wir erwarten die Software noch für das vierte Quartal diesen Jahres"
Google translates it as
"We expect the software, nor for the fourth quarter of this year,"
Which is abit ambigous. Are they saying its not coming out this quarter?

"Wir erwarten die Software noch für das vierte Quartal diesen Jahres" means that T-Mobile expect the 2.0 Update in the 4th quarter of this year.
I don't know why the google translation says that "noch" (which means something like yet) is "nor"...

This is assuming that the Australia HTC Dream is the same hardware as the T-Mobile G1.
They may do something like a hardware upgrade like they did with the HTC Sapphire/Magic/myTouch3G/Ion with the whole 32A/32B deal where the new Australian Dream may have more ROM/RAM than the G1... That would suck.

That would be AUSTRIA, not AUSTRALIA.

Well from what I’ve read Hero will also get 2.0. Meaning us G1 Hero flashers will get 2.0 sense.
I’ve been checking from time to time to see if anyone is working on it. I’m sure when it is dropped on hero it will be rommed and flashed quickly.

It's Austria and not Australia .
And we have the exactly same piece of hardware like the US G1.

Yes, the same Article says that HTC is working on an 2.0 Update for the Hero (with HTC Sence, of course).

Haha, my bad guys. I obviously don't know what I'm talking about
I was just saying, I hadn't seen any evidence that showed that the AUSTRIA G1 had the same storage capacity as the USA one.

HTC Sense WVGA

Does anyone have HTC Sense for WVGA.
I want to install it on a Stock Android 1.6 phone what comes with WVGA.
Can't tell the brand, sry.

Is it an actual phone or Android 1.6 running on other hardware?
1) You can't "push" Sense UI in to android, you simply can't, you need a buid with Sense in it already.
2) There are no sense UI builds for WVGA, only HVGA and QVGA.

Yes I do, The phone hasn't released yet and is new.
I'm testing it, and are not allowed to tell what phone it is.
I can say it has 1Ghz snapdragon, 3.5 Inch screen and running Android 1.6 Donut WVGA.
2.0 Will be available as update.

xmoo. THIS is what you are testing. No question about it.
Acer Liquid
- runs on Qualcomm QSD 8250 Snapdragon CPU at 768 MHz
- WVGA touchscreen 800x480 pixel.
- Android 1.6 (aka Donut
- quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE
- triband UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA at either 900/1800/2100 MHz (European version) or 850/1900/2100 MHz (North American version
- WiFi b/g
- Bluetooth 2.0+EDR
- aGPS
- digital compass
- G-sensor
- light sensor.
So now that that is out let's get down to the real bitty shall we. Did you have a go at that Spinlets app? Is it better then Grooveshark?

I have rules to follow.
eind deze maand mag ik het zeggen aangezien eind dec de release datum is.

No it hasnt been released, the Sense UI relies on an HTC Framework.
Unless HTC release a version to run on WVGA device you are out of luck!
Hope that your enjoying your liquid! - Mine is due for delivery in the next week or so.

2.2 FroYo Update Question

Hello,
As (hopefully) the froyo update is coming soon, I was wondering if I will need to back up my apps?
Will a major update essentially wipe my phone?
Also I use the stock HTC backup, but how do you restore using this? I have had problems in the past using a different sim card and loosing all of my scenes / homescreen layouts.
hanging out for the update bad! (hoping for better battery life, speed and UI polish)
EDIT: Guess not....
"The Android 2.2 (FroYo) update for HTC Desire will start rolling out across Europe this weekend. As well as including the complete set of Android 2.2 features, the update will contain a few special additions of our own through the latest iteration of HTC Sense. The update will provide 720p video capture, HTC's App Share widget, as well as our enhanced HTC Caller ID, and improved multi-language keyboard. Also, through the update, HTC Sync will allow HTC Desire users to sync their music with iTunes.
HTC Desire users will be notified that the over-the-air update is available to download when their phone automatically checks for software updates. The update won't delete any of the phone's content. However, due to the size of the update, we would advise using a WiFi connection to download it wherever possible to avoid additional data charges.
This update will initially roll out to unlocked HTC Desire handsets. Operator specific versions of the update are undergoing testing and we expect to make them available in several weeks' time."

The recent news about FroYo coming this weekend all relates to Desires... anyone have any news on the Legend?

I doubt that the Legend will get the update at the same time as the Desire, the Legend will probably get it later. Correct me if i'm wrong though. Or maybe someone can Email to HTC Europe and clarify with them about this.

the fact that HTC hasn't mentioned the legend at all in their talk of 2.2 and setting a date for the desire etc tells me that it's def not going to happen at the same time, or very soon, unless they just thought they wouldn't bother telling anyone in the case of the legend

True.
Its not looking good eh!

Legend is not sold n China, at least it's not listed in HTC China's website. The second link don't mention Legend at all. Of course we know the update will come.. sometime.

Desire owners got the froyo update today! I hope the legend will get it next weekend.

A Dutch translation via online translator equates to:
"Hear good bulletins. Use itself HTC Legend, therefore I must still just as have tolerated…"
Also, translating his whole Twitter page to English shows the message as this:
"Hear the good news.
Use self HTC Legend, so I have to wait ..."
Where are our Dutch colleagues??

I don't know what it means, perhaps someone dutch can let us know.

He says he uses a htc legend and he hears good news..but we will have to have patience
I hope we get Froyo SOOOOOON!

Thanks for translating! Not the good news we hoped for but at least its encouraging...

Great news overall...just relax & wait
But one question..i'm so excited about froyo..but i know we wont get flash ..but is there any way to make it work somehow?hmm

I agree with sian88, but I'm guessing he's trying to imply that it is not going to be long before the Legend get's an OTA Update (I'm Dutch too).
Be patient! I hope there will be some new stuff in Sense though.

I thought instead of waiting Id go for a full rooting and 'hack' 2.2 on.
It is far from straightforward, i got stuck at heaps of points, but i got there in the end.
Is there a way to restore you phone like in an iphone style where there whole phone/apps are restored seamlessly?
I will say to all of you hanging out for 2.2, its not that different and (surprisingly) i miss some of the HTC sense stuff on the 'plain' rom im on.

xperia x8 update

that's great news!!
afaik, there's no app2sd possibility on android 2.1, so...let's hope

This is GREAT news..if it is true though..because sometimes the one answering those questions is the marketing guys who knows nothing about sofware updates..

What date the guestion its?.. maybe they mean the past update.., remember we had 2 time update from se...,update to eclair and update to fix tnt function., maybe its mean that update not froyo.

Hi Sony Ericsson
I recently bought an Xperia X8 and it's a nice phone

Android 2.2 or 2.3 can use your app 2 sd so my question is is there a new update or is there a way around this problem?

Great!!! Till then, try one of the Mods, see what an update should do, ) Try XGin from Shpit and see what I mean. Grat job withe the developers. Thank all, now we can see that with limited hardware, this can be done. And we know what we SHOULD expect from SE.

This is,great but still no official new from se uk or asia. Who cares as long as they want to release the updates.yay, cant wait!

wow, i hope that it is dualtouch they have made it possible for x10, so why can't they try it for x8 and minis ??? i don' care about official froyo/gb update, because x8 devs and their roms are better than SE devs and their crappy roms xda rocks !!!!
edit: there is new firmware on ptcrb :http://www.ptcrb.com/ctiastaff/complete/view_complete_request.cfm?modelid=17877

Maybe this is only a system update. I doubt SE will update the Android version on the X8.

Lol ... i dont need that fu***** update! We have fully working android 2.2 and 2.3 will be soon i wonder ;D so its no need to do this update.
no co ja tylko tak mysle xd

Try them and find out. This is a purely personal choice and no one else can decide it for you.
Also, please search. We've had several of these threads already.

Like he said try a bunch. I've settled on Taboony

Yea Taboonay is my fav,but Virtuous has some good ones also.Do like i do,install one,get everything the way you want it,try it out,then back it up with your CWM and label it,then data wipe and install another one,so on and so forth.

For me Lightspeed is the best rom out there right now!

There it is in a nut shell, try 'em all out yourself.
In my signature you can see what I use. For me there is no better browsing experience than what samsung has done with their browser on this rom, no other rom is as smooth for browsing.
Unfortunately the rom I use is not available via this web site. But I am sure you could google and get it
Yes there are other threads on this, but hey, who wants to search through all this
Enjoy!

I salute you for trying 'em.
I haven't strayed past the safe waters of company ROMdom myself, but enjoy reading about that stuff and will one day try it too.
