Not to say he's above the other modders, but I've been a Cyanogen fan since the old days of my G1, so I'm very excited to hear this.
AWESOME!!!! Cannot wait!!!

He's the king. Also, CM6 will be built on Froyo!

I think it's more that he's the most well known ROM generator for android since the early days and, to my knowledge, on the front of the curve of new things as well (due to his own skills and also, I believe, due to his fame...people who figure new things out will likely report it to him to get it integrated into his ROMs right away too).
This is good news.
I'm still running a stock ROM. I'm waiting for something big to come out before I flash a new one.

Yea we don't even have kernel source yet
I wonder why HTC is being such a ***** with the kernel source. They were fairly quick to release them for their other devices.

Sense in CM6?
Okay, this is a BURNING question in my brain, someone please answer it.
When CM6 is released for the Evo, will sense be included?
because i've started to really despise sense since i've gotten the Evo, and i really hope CM6 looks and performs exactly the same on the Evo as it does the Nexus.
FYI cyanogen got an Evo yesterday for 300 bucks from someone.
Epic.
Can't wait.

I doubt sense will be included. CM does AOSP builds.

Just for clarifications sake and since I've been around since the G1, Cyanogen was not the first, that title belongs to JesusFreke. Haykuro was the first to bring SenseUI to the G1. Cyan fame-dom came after they took their, either quiet or loud exit. All 3 brought their A game and advanced the rooting community to where it is today.
So anyway...this is definitely good news. I've gotten my EVO in the last couple of days and have been reluctant to root. I'm not the trusting type when it comes to my phone so seeing Cyanogen working on this device makes me much happier. I know with CM roms there will be less forcecloses and MOAR WIN.
I'm excited about this one. The EVO is basically my first Android phone (I had a backflip for a while, but there isn't even a root it) so I haven't used cyanogen in the past, but his reputation is good, and I think his roms are the kind I am looking for. If I understand they are very close to stock AOSP, with some performance tweaks, but with a very high focus on stability, and sometimes more stable than the OEM releases.
I love some of the ROMs we have currently, but it seems like many of the devs value features and speed tweaks over stability.
cyanogen is great, I used his Roms on the Droid and loved them. Can't wait for the Evo release.
"Google" The EVO Update As I'm Not Allowed to post links.. BOO.
The EVO gets 2.2 presumably with the SenseUI on August 3rd.. When this is released is there any chance that we will see this flavor of custom rom for our Hero devices?! Hopefully Darch and the other XDA experts wont let us go without.. We can ONLY HOPE!! Hint, Hint, Nudge, Nudge.. Surprised there isn't a leak already.. Or is there!?
There is, i am running full 2.2 100% working on my Evo, and HTC also posted the update.zip on their website, but Devs from the Evo have had sense working for awhile now, but it still hasn't been ported over because of the huge differences in frameworks
I really wish I knew what people liked about SenseUI. It just seems so bulky and slow to me.
darchstar told me many times tonight there will be no 2.2 sense port for the hero. (from the evo) the arch is different
Nfinitefx45 will be working on porting 2.2 sense here soon

Thanks for the info!
I flipped through the EVO dev forum (reluctantly) and saw that they are already up and running on the latest froyo build which is awesome! I'm glad to see that all hope is not lost and that there will be some development for 2.2 with sense. To answer Zardos66 I personally like the facebook contact linking and the look of the UI. It has nothing to do with performance and everything to do with functionality and usefulness. The SenseUI is a bit clunky but I haven't found a happy medium with any of the roms that don't have the SenseUI. Just something I'd like to see and If it can be done I trust that the XDA Pros will knock it out of the park.. I'm very excited to see what can be made of this!! XDA FTW!

I thinks it mainly the widgets. other then that idk.
Im running senses, i've tried an aosp rom, it just didn't feel right, i guess i got used to sense.
But will install cm6 when darch gets into the RCs.

Even with OC, Sense still lags. It's is easy to mimic with less ram taken up.
Launcher pro
2x4 people widget - free
Messaging Widgets - free
Weather and toggle widgets - $1.99
feels good man.
Supposedly we can't port the EVO 2.2 release over to the Hero because the EVO build is designed for a much faster processor. Our Hero couldn't handle such a port without A LOT of tweaking....in other words, almost impossible.
Whenever the HTC Legend gets their 2.2 release, that is probably the build that the devs here will try to port over for us. A couple people have already committed to doing this.

Darch released RC0 a few builds ago, i am currently running Not my dog too build and all is pretty well. Camera app is still pretty much useless but Camera Magic is a quick fix. The gallery is pretty messed up with auto rotate and such, but aside from pictures it is a MAJOR improvement over eclair. My Hero runs like a champ!
does it change anything that the desire got a sense 2.2 today also?

I'm not familiar with the desire to know if it would work... hopefully it's closer to ours.

no still built on the snap dragon processor and is HDPI (high res) this is why we are waitng on the legend , it is the cousin to the hero in terms of processor and the fact that it is our exact resolution MDPI (medium). the legend is supposed to be on froyo within the next two months.

If it is gonna be anything like eclair release, I'm not holding my breath till around christmas, which is when the next major version of Android is supposed to be released. I bet by that time Sprint drops all support for their 6 month old Evo like they did with out Heroes, too!
Sigh I want froyo with sense.

the bottom line is the hero should of got the 2.2 update. sprint isn't doing a good job of supporting their phones at all. i owned the evo for a week and while i liked the speed & size the pitfall was the battery life. none of the tweaks worked and you had to disable every feature of the phone.
The nexus one looks so good. Still. So much support for it. Being googles baby it will probably get gingerbread. Just saying almost a year old and still one of the best phones. ("Did I get ripped off?" I sometimes wonder)
i just heard droid users are getting froyo today. this is a bunch of bull**** and im pissed at htc. i should of kept my evo. talk about dropping the ball with the hero!
There will be no port from the Ego since there's wayy to much things to change its almost impossible, but our hope of 2.2 is from the legend!

OH HELL YEAH!

Would it run on our phones?

I'm not much of a dev, but I'll be dabbling on trying to get it to at least compile. I mostly build stuff for my own personal use. I'm sure someone will beat me to the punch anyway since I work more than I would like to
Your best bet is either jaybob (he seems to be just a cyanogen builder) or aosp. I think besides the previous two I mentioned and nfinitefx45 there are no other real public ROM devs left for our phone.
Darchstar?
Nexus S and Gingerbread are both underwhelming to say the least. Color me disappointed.

3.0 is probably going to be the one that has more of a UI change, pretty sure it was at least semi-confirmed a while ago that 2.3 wouldn't be a drastic change.

Yeah I read somewhere about one of the tablet makers saying that they weren't gonna release their tablet till honeycomb comes out because 2.3 isn't much of an upgrade. I just was hoping.
Here's a video I made of the gingerbread sdk. Remember I was tired.

To be fair though, .1 updates are never huge upgrades, just have back-updates and various new features that generally aren't massive (1.5 > 1.6, 2.0 > 2.1, 2.1 > 2.2, etc etc).The tablet remark makes sense, because if what's been said on various tech sites in the past is true, 3.0 will be made with tablets in mind, as opposed to 2.2/.3, which are not really optimized for tablets at all. Personally, I'm a bit excited to see what happens with NFC, as I am sort of into the idea of never carrying a credit card again.
Does 2.3 have requirements? I heard that either 2.3 or 3.0 will but I think its gonna be 3.0 since its a .7 update instead of a .1 update.

This isn't always the case but in general naming practice the code base for a X.1, X.2, X.3, X.N, series of a program are the same and the revision steps are bug fixes and maybe small upgrades. When a name changes from 1.X to 2.X that usually indicates a major revision to the base code such as a rewrite.
Such as, 1.5 to 1.6, minor step, few new goodies mostly bug fixes, 1.6 to 2.1, major jump tons of changes and bug fixes, 2.1 to 2.2, mostly bug fixes but also included major Dalvek VM upgrade, the step from 2.2.1 to 2.3 is mostly bug fixes and a few updates. The next major revision should be 3.0 and from what I have read and heard it will have a major focus on larger format applications beyond cell phones such as Tablets and Media devises such as Tv's and Google Tv.
well the evo devs are already working on a rom for us. glad i bought an evo when i did. i don't think the hero can handle 2.3.

Now i kno Team Whiskey is out working on Gingerbread, but i remember they made a fast transition from Eclair to Froyo, but now from Froyo to Gingerbread is taking quite sometime.
Now im not rushing, im good with trigger right now...
But I want to know why was the transition so fast from Eclair to Froyo, whats the core differences in development?

because there is no official leak of Gingerbread for Vibrant yet.
They had a Froyo leak, that's why.
They are building this Gingerbread off the i9000 most likely, so give them some time.
Actually eugene built macnut off of the i9k froyo he even got gps working before the vibrant 2.2 leaks starting coming out. Honestly I don't think their working on it as much as you think they all got new phones and moved on. Hopefully eugene will step in and get us 2.3 im sure he can
Pretty sure Eugene got a G2 about a month ago. Gave up on the Vibrant.

Actually if you follow him on twitter he got his Vibrant back and he actually made a new rom for the vibrant (Ginger Clone RC3). Its good to have him back. And about the GPS people are wondering about why don't you guys just ask him if he got the GPS working before the froyo leak or after.
I beleive TW stopped working on the Gingerbread ROM actually. Krylon was the main person developing and he is doing work with other phones now/updating the 2.2.1 Frost. I wouldn't expect a TW 2.3 anytime soon.. . unless a leak hits.
Guys... Did we forget ebaitr already
That's the kind soul who leaked froyo for us!
This is when the gps ever worked for the first time.
If we want a 100% functional GB we are at the mercy of Samsung

I heard they all joined the circus and were now using soup cans tied to strings!
There's nothing left to really do until we have a leak. And honestly even if they are done its all good we have plenty of stuff available to us and if I remember right they had the first experimental gingerbread out... so I don't know exactly what you are asking about. Either way if I had spent the last x months working on all this mess and hit a wall because of available information I would take advantage of the time off...

Also, even tho they are all users here, they have their own site... its www.teamwhiskey.com
There you will find all of TW's devs and even a nice little webchat (IRC) you can use to chat with others or even the devs and ask them yourself

#2 Has EE03 release date been finalized and announced?
Welcome back!
EC05 is the current, official froyo build for our phone.
EE03 will never be officially released, it was just a (nearly) complete GB build. Sprint/Samsung are still working on newer builds, I think the latest is EE19 which may or may not be the final build. We probably will not see another GB leak until official is dropped. No real solid evidence on when this will be, but rumors are going around saying sometime in mid-late June for official GB.

Maybe you're thinking of Honeycomb? GB isn't much different from Froyo on the surface, though there are a few cool UI upgrades and animations.

Also, while you were away the forum changed some. Technical and factual questions such as yours really belong in the Q&A subforum. The General subforum is reserved mostly for drama.
Gingerbread will allow Netflix to work on the Epic for one.
