2.3

So gingerbread is running on n900, hd2, iPhone3g and EVERY other android phone, EXCEPT the epic.
Why do these non-android phones have the latest build before we do?
What's so different in the epic that gingerbread won't work?

Most of the important stuff is done retardedly by Samsung, and they don't release source code for their retarded implementation. They make it pretty hard.

Well, at least this thread isn't about Froyo...

I haven't seen anything about why is 2.3 hard to port...only threads about froyo
I was only curious. I wanna know if its because no one is working on it because they're working on cm6 or is there really something blocking it.
I don't mean to belittle the devs working on cm6, their hands are tied and this wasn't meant for them and I'm only waiting on mms to just flash it and never look back
I'm just a curious little monkey!

I think he asking a legitimate question.
I wondered about that myself.Iphone 3g grts 2.3 and we dont-sht dont sound right.Devices that not meant to run Android are running it.Samsung already made thwir money of Epic why these mf's wont give us the source so we can make 2.3 ourself?

Its garbage. Its a proof of concept. We had gingerbread booting on the epic like a day after its release, but not in a functional state. Why completely rebuild an OS when you can take what we have and make it as functional as possible. It would be a waste of dev talents to hand build a Frankenstein gingerbread when there is so much else to work on.

Will there eventually be any roms that get rid of the webtop stuff all together? I have played around with it a bit and ultimately found it to be worthless and haven't used it since.
I want vanilla android! It sucks that is so much to ask for in this market. (I had Nexus S but cannot live with t-mo.

I'm sure there are devs working on porting ROMs such as CM7 or AOSP. Patience is key right now. I know some CM devs are receiving some Atrixes.
Give it a few weeks. ROMs don't appear over night.

Hopefully man I just want pure 100% android

Where was it stated that CM devs are receiving Atrix devices?
I would kindly like to stalk them. In private though... don't want to piss them off.

Me too. I could care less about CyanogenMod. I want PURE ANDROID!!

I just want my Tegra 2 dual core phone to HANDLE LIVE WALLPAPERS.
I also want the WIFI to work (stopped detecting WiFi altogether)

Will be posible to port any variant of Honeycomb? Honey can handle the DualCore module, is AOSP and has HighRes. I think it will be better than any 2.x.x. Motorola Xoom has a very similar hardware so I don't think that it's imposble, but all you are the genius here

Multicore works perfectly fine in the current version of Android on the Atrix, as well as Gingerbread. Honeycomb will not be backported. Look forward to Ice Cream Sandwich instead, which is the "new hotness" I guess you could say.
If you want better multicore support, look to the app developers to add it into their apps. Android can run multicore but without support in the app, as I understand it, it won't use both cores. I am sure someone else with more knowledge about the underlying structure of Android could shed better light on the subject.
Honestly, where does this misinformation stem from?

Epic Touch 4G(Samsung Within)

Sprint's version of the Galaxy S2 is going to be called the Epic Touch 4G. Not sure about the name but all I want to know what the specs are going to be. What's your take?

i'm waiting on the next nexus on the assumption that sprint will get it... i want to own at least one nexus. otherwise i might actually have gotten this before my upgrade was due

Haven't ever used an iPhone, but I must say the iPhone users are very arrogant. (even my friends/cousins.)

HUH? Really? How you figure "lazy opinion"? I believe I said "one of the last" not "the last" also was more less pointing out that I hate the touch or swype typing. I should of left all the errors but you wouldn't of been able to make sense out of anything I said. Take the post for what it was a joke or a needle at myself for being from the old school and need a keyboard.

i'm so glad this thing won't have a keyboard... i'm annoyed with how thick the epic is at this point. my big concern right now is the whole CM7 thing... will sprint ask that this phones hardward is changed like the epic? it won't help us that sammy gave the CM team the source for the SGS2 if we don't have the same phone..

Why does AT&T get the keyboard variant of the S2 while Sprint (who has a "natural" daddy the Epic) get the keyboard-less version? Many people like the keyboard-less SII because of the thinness factor, but some of us who use our phone to type longer SMS/emails prefer a physical keyboard. In fact, that is what sold me on Epic vs the Evo. I hope Sammy has something in the works for those who want a physical keyboard - and it won't be a marginal upgrade.

Well my thinking is the only ones that will have a keyboard on Sprint is phones like the intercept. Don't get me wrong the intercept is ok for my son who isn't into tech stuff like me.

I started on the iPhone and att. The battery on the iPhone lasted a whole day for me and I never worried about FC on apps and modems. If the iPhone comes to Sprint I'm back to Apple. Otherwise, it's the epic touch.
I chose the epic over the evo because of the specs and screen. The hardware keyboard did not matter to me. If I knew the support with the epic was going to be like this I would have went with the evo! My wife has the evo and cyanogenmod and miui have been amazing!
