2.3
Announced with a video as well

Quick question, so now that the Gingerbread SDK is released,,what does that mean? Do that mean that Devs will start making roms based off that or that the official Gingerbread 2.3 is right around the corner?

Any word on whether or not they decided to use that BlindType keyboard that they bought earlier?

I KNEW IT!! haha thank you

I'm not going to lie. I'm not impressed. Android's copy and paste icons look like something from about 10 years ago to me. I like HTC's version better.
And the updated ui does look a little better now that everything is black with green highlights. Still an ugly ui overall.

It just helps app developers get up to speed. People have tried to do roms from these but they come out very hacky at best. The source for 2.3 is needed for full roms. The is the sdk.

I suppose that HTC has it in development already so they can inlay Sense over top of this. Also, now all the Dev's can start developing their new Rom's with this base. Hopefully Flipz is still on top of his game! No telling how long it will be before Sprint is done with it. I would imagine they will hold up any official update for whatever they have to do. It's just a matter of time now.

I swear I've embedded videos on the forums here ...

Android 2.3 sure looks ugly. I guess I'll be making a theme that makes it look like Froyo.

it means devs can start making apps for it im i think , but knowing xda theyll do their thing and have roms out before the official release

One of the stated features of GB is "better keyboard". One would assume that may mean "yes" to your question.

I believe Eclipse

Any rumblings around on whether or not Sprint/HTC will be releasing a 2.3 build...I know I'm jumping the gun considering this just happened, but wanted to get some opinions.

Does the Hero have Froyo? Does the Moment? We wont know until/if it happens.
Either way we probably won't see a official 2.3 device on Sprint for at least a few months.

The X8 is not getting 2.2 or 2.3

It's official, the X8 will not be getting any android updates whatsoever beyond 2.1

No idea, ask sony phaggyson, I guess they think cheap phones with great hardware that are more than capable of running 2.3 still wont get them good money even if they update it..
fkn companies, this thing is way better than the wildfire i can't get my head around why they don't wanna update it.

You're a bit late there.

You can use a custom ROM (for example the Racht's ones) to upgrade your OS Android to 2.2 or 2.3.

Goin to buy HD7 or any Nokia+Microsoft product...
but Android/SE.....
NEVER AGAIN!!

That's actually quite absurd! Bad idea Sony!

Custom ROM has some bugs so it is not fully FROYO and GINGERBREAD but it is in evolve so we will have good custom ROMs in future but BE PATIENT!

Phone with lower CPU can have froyo installed on it. X8 should be sufficient running froyo, either it cost lot of money to support X8 or SE think why should support 'old' series when they can make money from new one with upgrade OS.

I agree. This was my first smartphone, so I had no idea what I was getting; I just wanted a dirt cheap android phone I could mess around with. With all the mods, hacks, and especially racht's custom ROMs (I couldn't believe how crappy the stock ROM was compared to those) I've been able to experiment with, I have a much better idea of what I want out of my next android phone and what it will be capable of. As for SE, you're right: never again.

Agreed. I've just installed my first ROM (2.2.1 CM HACKDROID v0.12) on my X8 and there is no way i am going back to the original!! Works great apart from a few setbacks like vibration not working, unable to move apps to SD and locks on its own sometimes while i'm using it. But having said that it's still much better than the stock OS!!

hey mister, where did you got the screen shoot? can you provide a link? why rather give a screen shot either than link?
if it is true, i will never by SE product anymore, i will rather choose I-Phone 4 either than xperia x8

Thinking of getting this.

using rcht's rom... its awesome!!!

Petition: ZenExp Rev8 to be Re-opened

Ok, I've been waiting for this rom to be released and finding out that it was canned due to lack of interest. If enough votes we can get this rom reopened and released. This rom needs to be released so it can break the monotony of the Gingerbread and Honeycomb roms thats out there. ZenExp rev 7 was beautiful and I can't even imagine how Rev 8 would look like.
Please vote to have this roms released. Thank you.
P.S. I don't know no other way to state my vote, maybe by typing "please release"

Me too ..
Sent from my Eris using XDA Premium App

i would like to see this reopened.

Yes! I was on this for a year, and I had to finally move on -- one of the saddest days of my life. I would love to see Rev8!

Yea I'll vote even though Im on a Dinc now. I still have my Eris laying around enjoying its retired life. Could have made a poll to go with your thread.
DINC|CM7|INCREDIKERNEL

This was one of my favorite roms. I use xtrSENSE now. The froyo and gingerbread roms are alright. I just don't really care for them. The sense based roms run so much smoother on my phone. I would love to see this reopened. I would definitely rock it.

Excellent people, keep it coming. We need to let MAK know that we love his work. GB is great but there are too many roms that look the same. I use now GSB and go back and forth with xtrSense/xtrRom. I would love to see this released. It'll be my everyday rom.
If this comes out I wouldn't get another phone. All these phones coming out with different UI and downloadable 3d ui's that the Eris can't handle. But if this comes out I'll be more than satified.

Hm, maybe I'm missing something, but I'm not sure I see whats so appealing about that UI. Hopefully this doesn't sound like I'm trying to rag on your idea, I'm not, trust me.
Are there any screenshots laying around that "show it off" a little better?

Its not my work, but somebody elses. Its simple and different from all those Gingerbread roms (they are all so plain). At least this rom has some themes that are appealing.
You may look on this thread on the 5th page for the zenexp rev7 to get an idea and some more info. but its the same screen shots I posted.

The reason they are plain is for u to
Do what u want with them... I find that when I add something people want less

I had a feeling it was for people to create their own. I just noticed that with all the CM7 themes. they look awesome.

Lets Choose =D and Vote~ Version 2.0

Because... well, why the hell not?
But let's change the core idea a little. Instead of picking which rom you think is the best, just vote for which ever rom you are using right now. After all, if you don't like the rom you probably won't be using it.
And as for all those haters out there, I actually think this kind of poll is good for the developers. Companies hold polls all the times to compare competing products. It's a good way to see how well you are doing against your friends and rivals. Furthermore, a low popularity doesn't mean your ROM is bad. It might just be that you are relatively new to the scene, or perhaps your users simply don't venture to the dark corner of the universe called "General".
So vote on people! The results should be quite interesting.
P.S. Only roms listed in the [ROM LIST] thread are on this poll. So I apologise if your rom is missing from the poll. Go blame it on splish2010 instead

now this is what is called a competition

The highest score is going to be the one that must numptys use and the one that breaks most phones .Never answers users help posts left to fend for themselves or waste others time answering .
Not the best rom though how can anyone judge best beats me .

With ROM kitchen leading i guess most votes are coming from Froyo users.
For Gingerbread there's plenty of better options than (beta) kitchen right now...
This topic should be 2 separate votes: 2.2 and 2.3

Perhaps. But once ROM kitchen Gingerbread goes out of beta, most of the froyo users will probably upgrade to Gingerbread. So the results are still relevant.

[RANDOM] Verizon logo found in stock 4.2.2 rom

Does anyone else notice that HTC might be moving to one rom for all the carriers? I found ATT, Tmobile, Verizon, and Sprint status bar logos in the stock 4.2.2 update. I think HTC is doing the right thing here. Put everything in one rom, then based on the CID, install certain things. I still think that att should leave the icons alone...but this is better than nothing.
I guess this also confirms the Verizon variant of the One. (I know verizon confirmed it this morning)
EDIT: BTWm this was from the stock 4.2.2 rom from Mike. Not the ARHD rom.

It is for the demoflo application. Those images are used for HTC One demo so it's not really a junk.
What I consider a junk ROM is nokia's symbian s60v3 ROMs. There are alot of junks in there like image of homer simpson, a corrupt image, bunch of hello world text files, an apple logo with a worm, quotations, a pdf for origami and other stuffs. This even got an article years ago in symbian-freak
