When devs make this into a ROM I just hope they make a ROM for mytouch then a seperate ROM for the g1 if they have to remove some things to fit into the pathetic ROM partition of the g1 so the mytouch/magic users can enjoy ALL the goodies of 2.1 (I love the animated wallpapers)

The way the community is moving, we'll have 2.1 before that. This is exciting, however.

that is true but now we can get full 2.1 without things that are missing and it will be hell of a lot more stable. Plus it will be faster and stuff like that. But I'm 70% we can get a fully working, 100% stable, 110% faster 2.1 ROM before spring or shortly after this update is released.

What's great about this news, is that Rogers in Canada was so disappointed that google said they weren't upgrading the g1 to 2.1 they are giving all rogers g1 users a free magic so they can enjoy it.

lawlz. I'm guessing they are so desperate to keep people on their service they are giving away free phones.

We can’t really confirm any details at this time but a little birdie gave word yesterday that the HTC HD2 is going to receive an update in the coming weeks. Expected to address various bugs and most importantly address issues of the device freezing our source was short on details. That’s all we have to go on for now, but as soon as we get wind of more details, we’ll get it out the HD2 faithful!

Look for update 2.13. It's the update that HTC just made for TMOUS and it's just pending TMOUS approval (it's possibly already approved since they have a release date for it, but it's still got to go through the corporate molasses)

This is probably just the 2.13 Rom.... I haven't heard anyone saying it makes much of a difference. Actually a lot of people say it seems a lot slower. I hope they come out with a radio update that improves the 3G reception... that's the only problem I have.

UPDATE is LIVE: http://dl.htc.com/ruudownload/t-mobileUS/DeviceDownloads.aspx?pid=leo

anyone care to enlighten me how the hell some people are getting 34megaflops on the EVO... am i doing something wrong... ?

I think it was pc magazine that did a mobile network data test recently and they found that here in raleigh Durham ATT's 3g was faster than Sprint's 4g.

The EVO has a much higher screen resolution than the Hero from what I know so that would explain Nanocore. The EVO's resources are being hogged by the HTC Crapware they have the need to install on every damn phone, so once we remove those and get to where the Nexus one is at(Google software only for the most part) then we can do an actual benchmark.

True I hope HTC sees this and gives us options to run their crap or bone stock aosp...
that neocore was unexpected... I guess the hero got a lot of life left in it after all...

Before HD2, I had HTC Tilt2 (Rhodium), before that the HTC Kaiser (AT&T Tilt). It was a bit of an adjustment going from my 2 previous phones having full slide-out qwerty's to TS-only lol.

Google Apps Device Policy NS4G ICS?!?

Official Google app with a screenshot of a Nexus S 4G, clearly labeled as 4G and running on Sprint, running Android v4.0! Although the date is 10/26/11 so I guess they've really been working on it for all of this time...

Yeah, and they still can't get it to work. That is just sad. You would think that they would have had the foresight to make sure ICS could work on their other Nexus devices instead of strictly designing it for the Galaxy Nexus. You know there is a problem when the programmer of the OS can not get it to work on devices that were designed to their own strict specifications. Think of what the OEM's have to go through to get this crap to work.

Of course they've been working on it. There were leaked shots before the Galaxy Nexus came out with a Nexus S running a version of ICS. It doesn't happen over night.

I know, but at least this time it's an official screenshot that wasn't leaked! I'm just really excited! Surely it'll come out before the end of March! I was hoping before March, but I installed the leaked build anyway, so I'm good for a while! ;p
