But there are still some kinks in Oxygen and maybe we could use some official Gingerbread code to fix that

Crossing fingers !

Found it!
"Initially, model runs on Android 2.2 Froyo, at the end of summer it will upgrade to 2.3, which slightly increase the speed."

And i think too, that 2.3 will not make it run faster. Yes 2.2 wins hands down versus 2.1. Maybe it will help to use phone more because of improved power management, but in performance area i think there will be no improvements that user can feel.
It's just our desire to get latest and greatest.. but as with windows happens - the latest is not always the greatest..rather apposite i'd say

Well let's hope on FK to bring us the performance to the phone (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZnDt2wEFjk)

Who/what is FK?

Epic & iPhone get Froyo!

Pretty sad that we finally got Froyo (albeit unofficial) the same week that iPhone did.

Yep, i did. Kinda interesting that iPhone got froyo before we did.
Thought there'd be a few opinions on it. If not, no big deal, that's the way forums work. You post, if people want to talk about it, they do, if not it goes away (or people who dont want to talk about it can be a smartass and keep it at the top). Not like i posted in the dev section.
wowwww iphone has froyo and my epic 4g still doesn't officially have it. (havnt made the jump into rooting yet)

I was pretty ambivalent about froyo until I learned that it was on freakin' iphones already.
Oh well.. "end of the month" they say..

froyo dj29
it seems to me that every one is getting the update ,,,but sprint, i think they are holding back,the 2.2 update for a new pad that is coming out,
i am running the leaked 2.2.1, it works good , just a little laggy, on the home screen,
i installed this on epic 4 g
the down load speed is just a little better
the battery life is a lot better
every thing seems to work
it is very sable
i would say it is a good flash

Why was the Epic not released with Froyo

Why did that not have froyo on the phone when it was released? Froyo was out for a while before the phone was released, so does anybody have any idea why they didn't start out with froyo? Did they like ecairs better than ice cream? Who knows?

Because they didn't.

The development cycles on these phones is 6 or 7 months if not longer. When they started on the phone, FroYo probably wasn't to manufacturers yet. It is not easy at all to change course with software projects. And incredibly expensive to chunk everything that you have and start over. So they build it on eclair, and work on FroYo when its released, also you have all of the politics involved about which phones in your lineup gets updated, how many developers to put on each piece of hardware. I don't think most people realize the amount of planning that goes into any software written for profit. You'd probably **** your self if you saw some of my Gantt Charts, time lines, flow charts and other various wastes of paper that are done before a single line of code is typed (with the exception of prototyping) You can't just take a leap and start coding, switch gears 11 times, then hope to ever hit a deadline or budget. There isn't a lot of cost in the actual product of software, but the minds that power it are not cheap labor.

idk about you guys, but personally i am really thankful that we have great engineers at goog working their asses off. they never stop trying to improve on perfection.
cheers.
battery icon recustomized back into htc icon and not in gingerbread icon? funny.
An SE phone using an HTC icon, with Android 2.4 & a 2.2 kernel. Talk about a mish-mash lol
It is the real thing though. the artice is published by a dutch tech site:
tweakers.net/reviews/1944/ces-hands-on-android-24-gingerbread-reloaded.html
The standman actually put the wrong handset into their hands. so they pulled a quick review on it. they confirmed 2.4 ran faster than 2.3 on the same handset also there is some new animations available.
just use google translate on the link above and you can read it a bit..
There's nothing special, if you familiar with software development, bump to next vision is the first thing must to be done after a major version released. so the head branch must be 2.4.

Why? Just because you've never heard of it before?
Remember how quickly Eclair 2.1 came out after Eclair 2.0?
How about giving us 2.3 first before teasing with 2.4?

but they should share it with us more often too )
Here's another video of the Arc, it shows it as having 2.3 and the notification bar is more consistent with that:

No...because its on a Sony phone
their flagship the X10 isnt even getting froyo, i doubt they would get 2.4 first
also. 2.4 with the 32.9 kernel. not likely, it will most likely have at least 34.x kernel. i mean AOSP is up to 35.7 kernel

[IDEA/QUESTION] Porting Gingerbread from new Xperia Mini

Sony Ericsson announced successor of Xperia Mini and Mini Pro.
These two phones will come with gingerbread on it...
So, could it be possible to port ROM's from these phones to our X8?
I'm aware of hardware differences but both are Xperia...
And it's so dammmmmmmn beautifullll...
Your opinions related to porting?
Announced 2011, May
Status Coming soon. Exp. release 2011, Q3

the phone doesn't released yet..and how come dev know whether we can port it or not..wait for it to released first.
First look
Sent from Tapatalk using our best custom ****
From what it looks like, it will be based on a new arm cpu, which is not compatible with msm7227, so it will be very difficult to port its os to mini/x8 phones.
The only thing I'm waiting for is that tasty four corner launcher. Mmmmmmm...

Yeah, me too, but if it will be like the old one, with one widget per homescreen, it's just as pointless as the old version... Besides, want folders? Use GO launcher

GO launcher is laggy and drains battery fast, also app drawer isn't transparent anymore.
****!
Do you think that it could be an update for x8?

Come on already who cares about gingerbread? Ics is the new flavor fav of the month

Let's face it once google announced the ics as the next version of android why do some people still want gb when ics can be leaked and used on our phones. Google needs to be the one doing the updates not the carriers and phone makers. Google should open a beta and prebeta builds to all who want them.

could you people please stop answering him like anything he says is serious?
For someone who's been around since the 70's you seem to not understand the development life cycle of a product to be expecting such an asinine thing to happen.
Using win7 (retail) to win8 (alpha) argument proves your failure to grasp that.
BTW, i love how decad3nce pwned your last post. LOL

Because to us Gingerbread is the most important release ever! Gingerbread was made with Hummingbird in mind..ICS is a huge improvement for dual core phones..while we definitely get some new features, you would not notice such huge performance increases as you do with Gingerbread.
Locked. OP, check your pm's.
