Best evidence so for http://www.androidguys.com/2010/01/...m_campaign=Feed:+androidguyscom+(AndroidGuys)

That seems reliable...

So did Toyota
In the past the rumors have rarely been reliable in regards to timing, so I wont be holding my breath. The Eclair roms that are available in the developers section work very well for now

That's definitely the most trustworthy-looking 2.x rumor so far. However, I won't believe it until it's officially confirmed by T-Mobile USA.
What timing! Just after finally rooting and installing CyanogenMod, an official OTA for 2.0 might be right around the corner. I wonder what would be considered preferred by most XDA users...a good modded 1.6 ROM like CM, or an offical T-Mobile 2.0 ROM.

The good modded 1.6 roms have a lot of 2.0 in them. Really besides aesthetics and the hella cool live wallpapers there are not a lot of changes that are noticeable. Speed wise there doesnt seem to be any issues either- they seem about equal. Might as well wait unless your into testing out roms and such. I am, so I have to have the latest daily

If this comes out I might actually Un-Root and Force Update.

It will be on here faster than you can unroot and force update! No need to worry about unrooting so you can get the newest update, there will be a version within hours of the OTA's starting on XDA, and if history is anything to go by, they will probably have it on here a couple days early.

cyan or enom would have a update before you even put the RC29 onto your sd.

Are you referring to a CyanogenMod build with 2.0, or simply a regular 2.0 dump put out by Cyanogen? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for CM with 2.0!!!

CM is not a good rom. It is bloated and slow.
Official rom is also not good. It lacks some basic necessities, like wired tether and apps-to-sd.
The preferred choice should be an AOSP 2.something build with minor kernel customizations, and using the drivers that will finally be available from the official rom.

I would stay with my un-rooted G1 if there was a simple app to let me put my apps on the SD.

Don't remember this being the case when Donut was released. At least not the stable versions.

try manups 2.1 rom.
if you can do with out hd youtube and videorecording its faster than cyanogens latest. it's actually the first rom i've stuck with more than a day that isn't cyanogens.

Just to let you guys know the G2 is the Hero in Europe.
So if that post is true. The G1 and the Hero will be getting 2.0/2.1 and 2.0/2.1 sense by the end of january.

Which 2.XX Rom is the best so far? What are you using?

im currently running AOSP 1.6 rom with gbhil custom kernal with setcpu, I really wanna switch to a newer ROM im reading alot about.
1. flipz n toast 2.1 v1.8-7
2. darchstar Cyanogen (like) 2.0.1
3. darchstar AOSP 2.1
which seems to be the best ROM with the most features and close to everything working correctly?
What is everyone using?

Still using fresh 1.1 Rom, going to try darchstar's AOSP 2.1 today. I will post when finished and let you know how it goes.

i won't use any 2.1 rom until the official comes out.

Now that multi touch and open gl is out thanks to toast, the sense 2.1 build has everything but the camara , mms receive at least for me it isnt working, and vvm
But I like the cyogen like 2.0.1 build a lot

I'm having problems in all of 'em. I like the live wallpapers, market, and maps of the AOSP 2.1, but there are quite a few bugs of things working then not working, then crashing, then working a little.
The Sense 2.1 is kinda nice, but no paid apps in the market and no live wallpapers.
I like the browser in AOSP more than the sense browser.
I haven't tried the 2.0 yet.
I don't think any of 'em are ready for prime-time. They're need, but all have critical issues.

official 2.1 is coming out soon, so I don't see much motivation to go for a custom 2.1 ROM.

Using darchstar's 2.1 right now and it is really fast!! The camera not to big of a deal(not working), But other than that should really give it a test try!!

The date of release for sprint/htc 2.1 was pushed to 2H2010.

nah, it was officially set at 2Q2010, which should be not too far off.
I agree with others, despite the massive amounts of work going into getting the kernels and roms working correctly, I will wait untill the official 2.1 as well...

wow either no one else here is trying Darchstar's 2.1 or 2.01 or im just lucky. I think his 2.1 is the best rom out, and I am including all the 1.5 and 1.6 roms in argument. Its my everyday rom, and I am a HEAVY user.

No camera = deal breaker for some.

no mms.. deal breaker.. But I use Sprint PIcture messaging website to get the missing pictures.. lol... and so I still use Darch's 2.1

the main purpose of the eclair i dev for is actually hopes of getting all hardware working in eclair with a .27 kernel. with that being said once sprint releases a 2.1 build for us we will be able to use a custom kernel in it. allowing for mods that extend beyond the build itself. the gsm hero devs know about this advantage as the .29 kernel they have runs slower then their .27 kernel in the builds. ive actually been passing my work on to lox as we fix things. trying to get them closer to a fully working 2.x build with .27 kernel under the hood also. all the 2.x builds will be buggy until we get atleast one official one to nab apps from and such. im thinking of the future right now. when sprint releases a rom and everyones pissed about source again. plus what we learn now will help us all later. i cant say one build is better then another. i guess its if u like sinse or aosp. or want this but not that. to me im just glad we are as far as we are. think about this... the dream guys dont even have opengl (as dream devs have come already looking to use our work) in their 2.x builds and the camera is half baked. also multitouch is a app hack. we have all but camera supported in a little .27 kernel and weve only had source for a few months. most said we wouldntve gotten this far in such little time. but we proved them all wrong.

I have been happy with every rom that I've found on this forum.
Gumbo 1.5c was the first I tried, and it was great. Some minor lag issues, but everything worked.
Now using toast + flips 2.1, and it's amazing. I miss my camera, but I'm not going to complain about it, because having multi touch and the consistency of how the phone runs is whats doing it for me. Thank god, I don't have to wait until Sprint releases one!

No offense to toast or anyone working on the 2.1 Sense ROM, but I tried it, and for me, it just didn't feel right. It was somehwat fast, but it did have moments of lag. Also, I didn't like all of the HTC stuff that came with it. I flashed darchstar's 2.1 AOSP, and WOW. It hit the spot. It's snappy because of the AOSP, and it has nothing "junky" in it. All I've done is flashed the HTC keyboard to it, and now it's wonderful Snappy, 2.1, AOSP, it's great. I don't really care about the live wallpapers, althought the Duck Hunt one was pretty nice.

Can we access picture mail from our phone browser and how do you know when you get a new message?

I'd like to throw it out there that after removing HtcCopyright.apk from darchstar's 2.1 AOSP, I've gotten rid of a lot, if not all, lag from the ROM. The speed also got ridiculously faster.

[APP] Netflix for HD2

Since some people are being juvenile and aren't cooperating with others on posting the Netflix .APK file, here it is.
This has been tested on an HD2, NAND ROM variant HyperDroid CM7 "Gregarious Greyhound".
I cannot guarantee any other variants. Theoretically, if it's CM7 based, it will work.
This same file has worked on a Samsung Galaxy Tab, an HTC Incredible on CM7, and the HD2.
Many thanks to Chinle43 for the .apk file.

Works on BOYPPC-SHIFTPDA NANDv11clean, sweetah!

working great on NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.7 NAND

Works NexusHD2-Gingerbread-2.7
This is the correct app, the other ones floating around do not work.

Any specific player on those roms? I have CMYLXGO's Desire hd rom on mine. It installs, everything comes up, works fine until you go to play a video. It loads to the player then crashes back to the main screen.
Wonder if it might be the kernel

worked beautifully for the 90 seconds i tried it on AmericanAndroid May 7th build. Pretty sure it would work non-stop I just wanted to reboot into SuperRam Froyo to try it in there too...going to it now

Installed on my atrix and my inspire running RCMixHD 6.1.0.1 with gingerbread. No luck on the atrix, getting the unsupported device error.
The interesting thing is that out almost works in the inspire. It plays audio but I get a white screen only.

Works on m Galaxy S i9000!

Official Netflix app works!
Just downloaded the official app from the android market. It works perfectly on hd2 with android.

1.1.9 Blutopia doesn't work... program runs and connects, but the video wont play but that's an old version (2.2.1?) I'm overdue for an update anyway.

Yes, but which Android on HD2 are you using?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

just chiming in. it works perfectly on the unofficial SuperRam Gingerbread! I'm assuming it'll work fine on the Froyo variant as well. Thanks for this! Definitely a nice surprise after finishing my last final exams

works great on superram froyo 1.5 by darkstone.... "Its a great day for Androidia everybody"

It also works great on NexusHD2 Froyo v1.9G and NexusHD2 Gingerbread v2.7.....thanks a lot for sharing this, been wanting netflix on my HD2 for a while now.....I didn't know this was released in the market until now......thanks for sharing....just a little FYI, when I checked on my phone, the apk shared here showed up to be the same version that's on the market.....

Works great on my HD2 (HyperDroid-CM7-2.01), streaming "Rampage" via wifi as I write this.
No discernable lag. A/V Sync looks awesome. Overall, very very happy with this

Resets to main menu after trying to play a video on CoreDroid v1.6

Works on Hyperdroid GBX v12 also, couldn't find it in the market though. Tried a forced attach with titanium but still don't see it under "my apps".

Same here and I'm using the same type of ROM you are using except its an older version which is 1.4 I guess we should use the CM7 ROM or the Nexus one that some are talking about.

Was just at the T-Mobile store browsing and talking to the staff and told the manager and an employee I was running Netflix on Android. They didn't believe me but when I left the store they were both running Netflix on their G2s.

2.3.3 update first impressions

The first thing I noticed was the smooth app switching transitions. Then I noticed that deleting large text threads works smoothly for the first time. Then I noticed that the 3g radio wakes up faster. Then I tried 4g where I never ever have gotten a signal before and I get 1 bar. The sense clock has flipping tiles. The update caused me to have to clear the voicemail icon in settings>phone. The browser is snappier and pinch/zoom is smoother. The browser address bar now clears the entire address including the http:// prefix when selected with a single tap.

My first and only impression is a half assed release which is missing quite a few features from the default Google release and white paper.

You'd need to make citations, list what you think is missing from your updated phone - before anyone takes this hearsay comment seriously.

Music player EQ
Keyboard
Green bits and icons
Camera update
Various effects--App draw for starters
Wider APP2SD use---Motorola \Samsung has it working
These are what I have found so far that is Android standards and are NOT in this update. Plus there is the addition of TeleNav GPS as bloatware that will not get used.
All the above and no Sense update so what was the point in all this and also all the months of waiting for nothing.

The point was to make people feel good about having "gingerbread"

It also breaks the Netflix app.

First impression?
Its missing Sense 2.0... WTF? I might as well had stayed with 2.33 beta, my brightness was usually set that way anyway.
*Sigh* oh well, happy anniversary I guess. 35 days to go of it untill I get 3.0.

horrible. the only thing I wanted fixed (audio quality of the video) didnt get touched. or if they did its way worse than the leaked roms of months ago.

No Netflix works with 2.3 just not this botched release this morning.
• HTC Incredible with Android 2.2
• HTC Nexus One with Android 2.2, 2.3
• HTC Evo 4G with Android 2.2
• HTC G2 with Android 2.2
• Samsung Nexus S with Android 2.3
• Motorola Droid with Android 2.2
• LG Revolution with Android 2.2
• Casio G'zOne Commando C771 with Android 2.2

I am suprised that they did not add a sence update to this I had expected a sence update and a camera update. I wonder if htc has mad a statment on wht they did not upgrade sence. I really was hoping for the camera update. I have yet to install the update. I am doing it now but once i get installed it sounds like i will be diapointed.
upated it, well it did congradulate me for updating.

Still the same version of Sense and up until this morning the app worked just fine so you can't blame it on Sense it's all the other BS they did to the ROM.

That's the point. N1/NS/NS4G run ASOP 2.3. HTC Sense 2.3 is just AOSP with Sense and HTC's modifications. If Netflix works on AOSP, and all Android ROMs are based on AOSP (which they are), then Netflix isn't at fault. HTC is.

This is my point exactly.

So far I am not impressed with it. It may be smoother and all but it's the same boring sense. No inclusions of all the cool features of GB like the power widgets from pulling down the status bar. No theme chooser. No over scroll effect. No Screen off animations. **** is pretty gay to be honest. They could have at least made it a little more exciting.

let me answer with a question....could it be any gayyyyyer? lol

[Q] New Sprint Lovers GB ROM -Netflix???

Has anybody been able to install NETFLIX on their EVO using the recently updated sprint lovers app by thatsmartboy???

Netflix does not work currently period. Doesn't matter what rom you are using.

Thanks... I noticed that once I did a lil more research

Um, it works on my phone, it just wont work on unsupported phones and gingersense.

Until Netflix updates the app it only works on pure gingerbread roms like decks(not HTC sense roms with gb update) or you can do like I did and go back to froyo until the devs or Netflix finds a fix

Thanks I just flashed back to froyo... im ok... I guess ill just wait for the evo 3d

So word on the street is we get a new update on 6/20 that fixes the Netflix app and the voicemail bug some are having. Hopefully they throw some new sense our way...... Yeah right. Lol
