the answer is obviously yes. sense 3 with 2.3.4 is gonna be stock on the mt4gslide so once thats leaked you best believe we will have it. granted the mt4g slide has dual core processor and 200 more ram, so it can handle a bit more, you best believe our phones can still handle it, it wont take much more to run 2.3.4 than 2.3.3 which the mt4g already handles with great speeds. so just give it a month or so before an official build leaks and we will have it.

Almost the only difference between 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 is the Google Framework.
You can just flash the latest one (which is integrated into most ROMs by now, all those supporting Gtalk video have to do it), and you'll get whatever you really need 2.3.4 for.

No, the MT4G has 768MB. Check every online spec site. Heck even check the box the thing came in...
There's a command line you can enter in Terminal that says something about ~626, but that does not report total system RAM. I'm sure someone else can explain that better, but the MT4G does indeed have 768MB of total RAM.

He probably just didn't realize that the phone allocates a portion of the RAM out of default. I'm on CM7 and it shows 309 RAM used out of my 626 available. That's probably where he's getting that number from.

On all android phones you can't access all the ram, only some .
The is reserves some ram, like on windows where some ram used by system processes

How would I flash just the frame work...i mainly want to be able to use g talk and have the pvc show right not side ways...

You can't have it showing right - because currently the Gtalk app was only built and adjusted for Nexus S, and was hacked to work on other phones. As such, it's not adjusted properly to be running on all the phones with different camera libs, and that includes Sense camera libs. Sense ROMs with 2.3.4 will cure it, if they'll have Talk app - which they might not.

Even when I had the Nexus S if your phone wasn't on stock you still had to find a work around to getting video chat to work on g-talk, then there was the issue of having it work on 3G and not just wifi.

64MB Extra Memory on Nexus One

Hi, All
Don't you think it would be sweet, if there was Radio released like the HD2 Update that unlocked 64MB Extra memory for the Nexus One.
The comparison with the Desire would be finished.

It would be nice, but it's already so fast I don't think it would make a difference for the majority of Nexus One users.

Dont understand why you need it. Just looked at my phone with 19 processes running and 200 Mb avail. At any given time I never have less than 100Mb free mem. Does the Sense UI use more memory? Is that why you think we need more?

Sense UI doesn't use much more I usually have 100MB to 200MB free with Sense UI. Also my phone feels much smoother with Sense UI rather than stock. On top of all that, we don't even have all our 512MB unlocked. I think its like 395MB.

Live wallpapers isn't that good. Just waste battery and makes the system slower but it is good eye candy and great to show off the phone. The phone has a decent amount of RAM (512 mb) so once this phone gets rooted someone can enable LW.

Live wallpaper is not available on 2.1 with Sense UI which the MyTouch Slide seems to be running... not T-Mobile's fault.
Plus like UberMario said, it's not all that good and kills your bat life even on the Nexus One.

legend & flash 10.1

I know that adobe said itself that it won't get..but is there any chance that we can get it any way? flash on the legend will be awesome!
I do not think so..
I hope someone makes a way to make it work though someday
Excuse me but flash 10.1 will work on legend with froyo 2.2. Am I wrong?

I believe that the legends processor isn't powerful enough to run flash 10.1 but it is still in beta and will most likely run eventually.
However, given a few weeks I'm sure the modding community can make it work if it isn't supported out the door.
I saw a published test recently and the legend will be faster than the snap dragon processors because the screen resolution is less and therefore doesn't have to work as hard. So I doubt that is the reason flash won't work

That might explain why my Legend seems to be faster than my colleague's Galaxy S.
Basically everywhere i see,everyone says that flash doesn't work..
I'm not saying it does work just the processor speed is not the cause

DUDE!!!!!
Like in other posts, you are very pessimistic. Chill out a bit and let the things come on their own.
Flash will definitely work.
With 2.2 froyo, the legends processor will be able to churn out rougly 8megaflops as per linpak testing.
This is higher than what a 1ghz snapdragon processor was doing in a nexus one in android 2.1 eclair.
Couple that with the lower resolution of the legend screen, the extra ram that will be freed up in 2.2, and flash will work peachy.
Adobe already announced that flash 10.1 requires a ARMv7 based cpu which we clearly don't have (legend: armv6).
The armv7 has an extended instruction set over the v6... they would have to make a whole new client for all the "older" cpu-s out there (without using the instructions that are not present in the v6, replacing them with slower ones), so we probably won't see any 10.1 from adobe.
Let's just hope that htc will make us something similar.

So guess what, we aren't gonna get AOSP Gingerbread(says the 2.3 AOSP guy)

So the guy who's dumping the AOSP from the Nexus S said "There is no AOSP support any longer for ADP1 ("dream") and ADP2 ("sapphire")." You can read it yourself here http://groups.google.com/group/android-building/browse_thread/thread/298a46f6eaab8c39 I don't know if it's true so please tell me if it's not and please don't flame me if it's not. I guess I'm gonna get a G2 now. What do yall think?

The Dream can barely handle FroYo, I don't know how well it would handle Gingerbread.
Does anyone actually have their G1 running quickly on a FroYo ROM? CM is pretty damn slow.

yes, CM itself can be set up right for once, then are the OTA roms who are with less things...so they run quite good and ofc the AOSP froyo roms.
What setup is needed for CM to be fast? I don't need any features, just speed. If there's a better FroYo ROM for that I'm open to switching.
Gingerbread on the Dream will happen...I have no doubt about that. The question is how well it'll run. If only the Dream had a little more RAM...
Come on man when have we "never" been able to get an update? Im gonna take a wild stab in the dark and say we will still be getting roms for at least another 2 years!

I don't know about that, because I'm pretty sure Honeycomb or whatever they decide to call Android 3.0 has a minimum requirement for 1GHz processor so the Hero, Sapphire and Dream might be out of luck, especially the Hero because they're still stuck with the 2.6.29 kernel. 3.0 might be possible but I doubt 2 yrs of new Android ROMs is plausible.
AOSP gingerbread running on my Dream..
So seems mostly a go.. will require some poking for a true release but not that bad.
If it's not officially supported in AOSP, does that mean we'll be without camera drivers?

check out the 2708 radio+kernels. By switching to the new radios released for the mytouch + kernel with support, you gain back an extra chunk of ram for os use. Definitely helps out froyo builds

No release because many bits of this are easy to fix

Honeycomb (Android 3.0 or 2.4....who knows) will not require a 1Ghz CPU.
Still don't understand why you people want gingerbread so much. The time it takes to get something that was never intended to even be ran on the G1 was at least a year or so and that was only with eclair and froyo. We can't run a lot of things because of the lack of ram like jit. Everything lacks now, even the gpu.
Please stop with all this silly nonsense about Gingerbread threads and just be patient. I have little faith in the project, as most original devs have completely moved onto different devices which are easier. Not saying the new devs are bad, I'm just saying we lost a lot of veteran support on the G1.
Why not just use something fast on your G1 that won't fry it's sockets after 5 hours of use?

Not only that, look at ezterry's mt3g port of froyo. 2708 radio/kernel + mt3g = hot fastness. Loaded it on two G1s, the gf loves how much faster it is than the other froyo roms we've tried. Probably has to do with the fact ezterry's port is nearly completely stock (it is without the parts update).

(keep hitting thnks buttn by mistake on every post xD)
Anyway I think 2.3 will be too much for the G1/MT3G to handle, it already struggles with 2.2 so 2.3 is over doing it. Battery will not be very good, as most phones with 2.2 now have 512+ ram as the standard. To get the best experience you'll need faster hw to support the effects,apps,etc...2.1 is the furthest i would go w/ a g1, but 1.6 is where the best perf is. I would go with a new phone if you wanna enjoy 2.3.
p.s. not trying to discourage anyone, just stating facts

So when HTC says 512MB ROM for ICS...

Are they talking bout the total rom capacity or just the /system partition.
For example on my G2 for internal storage the break down of the 2GB (which is not re-partitionable, sizes locked in):
system 409 MB
data 1309MB
cache 201MB
So if they're saying 512MB ROM are they talking strictly about /system, and if so does that likely count out the G2/Vision from the chance of an official rom.
It's not listed here : http://www.htc.com/www/help/android4faq/?cid=android4blog

Same thing aren't they? (Like HTC Magic is to Tmobile MyTouch 3g)
As far as I can tell the only real difference between a Desire-Z and G2 is the radio bands available to it, FM Radio, and keyboard layout, but everything else is identical.

No, the difference extends to memory. That's why you need a Desire Z HBOOT in order to use Sense ROMs on a G2.

Though you can put a DZ HBoot on a G2 right? in which case if they did release an official Rom for DZ you would just require the Hboot for that extra 120MB of /system memory.
So the question would extend to that, does that mean with a Desire Z having 535MB of /system, that ICS in theory would be supported by HTC in the official sense.

this is what i would assume as well. turns out htc did say ROM, i know strange as they could simply make a new hboot that partitions how large ROM would be on our phones. dont have the link at hand but they clearly are saying ROM - so i have no answer to why they wont update the g2/dz... stupidity? pure evil?

Ram was the original assumption til I seen many corrections to Rom. And as you said flashing a G2 with a DZ hboot would put you at about 549MB /system partition and larger 300M /cache, so if the system size of 512M min were the requirement you'd think that the HTC labeled DZ would at the very least qualify.
But far as why, probably doesn't have a large enough user base, and the device is old enough to not support without pissing off too many folks and probably aiming at making more profit by only offering official ICS to newer devices (or more popular models).
I only care for what an official ICS release from HTC/Quallicom(sp) would give to rom/kernel creators for our devices.
Ppl, it's RAM, not ROM. ROM, it's an operating system. HTC made a mistake. Again.

In which case the DZ/G2 is listed as "RAM:512 MB" would they still make the cut?
maybe because it has ~380MB of usable RAM they won't update

Though in their announcement did they actually say "must have 512MB 'usable'" ?
Makes more sense that they would be talking about total, as some of that 512 is used by the system.
Doesnt matter what that HTC idiot replied, in your other thread. Its a RAM issue, its always been. If you notice, more than 90% of the phones reciving a ICS update, have more than 512MB of RAM.
BTW, if i was HTC, I wouldnt release a update for ICS. I want to make money off new devices.

Well that much is obvious lol. Though how many actual people would avoid going to a new phone just because you can root it and get JB/ICS on it... (though some of us are already running ICS, mainly having the source will likely aid towards JB roms), I honestly don't think the number is quite that big, but time is of course money, and why spend money on a no-return task.
