Finally a solid source talks official 2.1

engadget story..... I have noticed in the past their news is pretty firm. not the gospel but pretty firm.
http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/sprints-htc-hero-update-to-android-2-1-finally-coming-on-may-7/

This should be kept in the general threads. A mod will probably merge it with other 2.1 rumors. You are about the 3rd person to start a thread with a reference to this engadget article.

It's a paradox why people care about this.... what is so exciting about this?????????????????!!!!!!!!!

Its exciting because we'll have custom 2.1 roms based on the official 2.1 firmware for OUR phones, instead of just a leak.

Hopefully not, but it could create more issues/bugs than those fixed....just as the November MR did. I do have my fingers crossed that you are right.

What is this nonsense that people keep saying?
Prior to the MR I had a phone that couldn't output stereo sound through headphones, would randomly miss text messages (that would disappear forever, even after rebooting--a ridiculously serious problem), would stay awake 100% of the time and had terrible battery life, didn't have an easy way to switch calls back and forth from speakerphone, and an unreliable camera that failed to focus most of the time.
What issues are you talking about that were newly introduced? They certainly weren't worse than the ones that I listed above because I haven't noticed any.

Guys, the source of this article is the XDA forum!! Their info isn't any more "official" than our own!

that would be gizmodo

I was in best buy earlier and the two girls working mobile were joking around and not busy at all. So of course I had to go over and start chatting with them. It was my duty as a guy right??? Anyway, I figured that since I had seen this best buy screenshot I would bring it up. They both looked at me like I was crazy. One of them said that the Sprint Hero will never be upgraded to 2.1 and that Sprint and HTC never said it would be. She said the Hero that looks funny, like has the funny looking bottom that is like the g1, that version will get the update someday.
Anyway, I told her I had seen the screen shot from the best buy intraweb so she looked on her computer and said nope, no info on any 2.1 upgrade for the herol.
It'll happen when it does, I don't trust any of the leaks anymore. Just happy I have 2.1 now and it works for me.

cyanogenmod port coming soon

RT @J_Shubert Yes!!!!! RT @koush I'll be working on the CyanogenMod port for the Galaxy S line of phones once Froyo is released for the Captivate.

If a developer wants something on xda, they'll post it.
Also this belongs in general.

Froyo for the captivate is not coming soon and he won't even start until then.
In other words you suck!

sorry i had to freak out

This is a COMPLETE waste of space. This is like the third post discussing CM6m and they all have nothing but twitter info. Wait until something concrete is announced before trashing the dev forum.
Essentially, Koush said he wont be starting for a few months, because Samsung needs to release 2.2 OTA, and THEN release the source for it (and all of it, not pieces like they have been doing for the kernels). My guess would be sometime before the end of the year.

SGS doesnt have a stable cyanogent yet...haha

So I recently went on the cyanogen website to see their news "CyanogenMod-6.1 Stable Has Landed!" I know that the SGS is different from other android phones so I laughed. Of course I had to look at the stable downloads, all of the phones had stable downloads except for our SGS.
Am I angry, nope...just found it funny. Damn you samsung :]
Oh wait HTC Desire HD doesn't have one

Well with only one person who knows about coding working on the epic port of cm6 its not gonna happen anytime soon unless some people are willing to step up and help out.

yeah I agree, I'm trying to learn some coding and developing, but I am no where near the skill level that would be needed. So for right now I'm just gonna try to make some simple apps to start out.

Also fyi there I am not poking fun at the sgs phones. The reason of why there is no stable mod out is because sprint chose to create the platform differantly. that causes our single dev, not noobnl to try to code and work it out by himself. Like I said if I knew the coding I would help the only dev working on the mod.

Honeycomb on the Incredible

Is this in the works yet??
I wish I knew how to do these things myself and port it, but cant
so I'm just wondering.

You are better off going with CM 7 or CM 7 nightlies than the above link as you will get more support for them here on XDA than that site offers. And in my opinion CM7 is far superior to that mod anyways.

You do realize that their OMHC is a pure beta with hardly anything working, so saying something is far superior to that is a pretty poor choice of words.

It's a sdk port so its crap
Honeycomb is meant for tabs anyway
I doubt we will have a fully functional version here on xda due to our screen being.too small for the OS
He will.port it tho to get more hits on his site

Cyanogenmod 7

Where can I find updates? The cm7 thread was locked, and the closest I could find was a how-to for building it from souce. But it says that compiling now will brick the phone.

There aren't any updates. When there are there will be a new thread.

You probably won't see anything major until official Gingerbread drops sometime this or next month.
Having like-source makes the whole porting process easier.

Okay, if you say so. Not like I don't want CM7 also, but the thread got locked, there aren't any updates anymore made public and you are pipe dreaming if you think the source code is going to be that big miracle to push CM7 to our phones. It will come eventually, but I wouldn't bet on it anytime soon. Most of us will have moved on by the time it releases and makes this phone what it should have been since last year.

That made me smile, Dec.
And yes -- I think the Epic has a long life ahead of it. It's a great device and one of the last phones to really have everything and be free of a bootloader (aside from HTC's stuff). The dev's are doing a great job rebuilding an entire layer of software to get this phone supported -- basically like being a very clever caveman trying to build a car. Totally can't wait until we get a release! Thanks for all your hard work, devs!

As soon as work settles down (soon), I'll hop on the dev bandwagon.
No matter what, CM7 will be out.
I plan on having this phone for 2 years. No way I'm spending $400 on a new phone.

Fo sho. I haven't ben on the touch pro 2 for 9 months, and when I strolll by their forum, I don't even recognize the names of new roms and the devs and posters. This phone may have two or three waves of owners. The early adopters, then the late adopters, then the second hand era in another year or so on ours.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

That's great news decadence thank you. Also this phone is awesome especially with a fully functional cm7. I still haven't really seen a phone that compares with this epic yet. I might even have this for 2 years from now. Dual cores will prolly be more buggy at first and they won't really be optimized for android or apps for atleast another year or so. So I'm good with this phone.
