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.

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.

No Tuch Wiz 4 - 2.3.3 update coming next month

i had talk with a guy working in samsung he told me that there is no tuchwiz 4 for galaxy s and update is expected in april ( In europe)
Same funcations as I9000XWJV1 with bug fix

Damn, again a "had talk with a guy working in samsung he told me that" thread. Again a waste of time ;s

Well i believe we will get 2.3 final when there ready and not a moment before

too bad, would really love touch wizz 4.0
i don't like the icons in touchwizz 3.0, they are to big

as tw 4 is the only real benefit of the s2 i 'd really wonder if samsung was so stupid to give it to the galaxy s users.
i'd probably fire the responsible manager as sammy marketing chief if that actually happens as user i hope for tw4 of course, cant be worse than tw3 or cm as it is atm.

I would like to try TouchWiz 4. The YouTube videos of the SGS2 seems to be very nice. TouchWiz 3 was great, but has some problems, like the homescreen is left and not in the middle.

We wont get tw4 as we are only single prossesor and that will be reason and all these mates at samsung stories starting to get boaring only fact is beta out and final will be realesed when they decide to .be content with what we have amd thats the number 1 mobile on planet that initself should suffice but we want gingerbread are we ever going to be satisfied i dout it

That's a fact. However, I'm sure TW4 will be ported by someone someday. Hopefully.

For that you could try gtg465x's modded touchwiz 3. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822523. It has middle homescreen, adds alphabetical order of app drawer and a nice 5 columns fixed apps on the bottom. You only need a rooted device and works on stock ROMs

Are people realy taking this kinda post seriously?

Can we have an "Anti-Thanks" or "Kick" button, please?

Well i do also know around 100 people at the nordic samsung support and they have no clue when 2.3 will be out but as they say seeing that 2.2.1 did just get released again i wont expect it before the nexus s are on 2.4 lool... or like this... around summer time.

Hear hear i second yhat

WHAT THE... hell! And what about far superior hardware? Does this not count at all?

bah..tw3 or 4 are slowly and heavy ,,realy i prefer cyanogenmod..

I hear that the 2.3 will come out before Milestone 2.2.
p.s. I just a angry mob just switch from MS to I9000

Still no Gingerbread/beard so I guess we'll just have to wait until end of March/beginning of April which is just around the corner. =)

A guy at work told me that his cousin's wife works at Samsung somwhere. She said that 2.3 will in fact have touchwiz 5.

Flash 10.2 update is out!!!

Hello Xoomers! I just noticed an update for Adobe Flash player 10.2! The marketplace states that the update takes advantage of multi-core processors and includes other performance improvements. Checking it out now.

I think it's been out for weeks now

No... that was the beta.
This is 10.2 and flash sites that used to lag before are very smooth now.
you should be able to run anything in flash now i.e. facebook games and other things like that

that was "beta".

I did a clean install after flashing my Xoom last night. I installed Flash 10.2.157.10 then and just now I got a notice that Flash 10.2.157.51 is out.
So its a new update...

a lot of mention of "Android 3" in the update description. I guess they mean Honeycomb 3.0

I just got my Xoom today, Android market report the Flash as 10.2.156.12.
Hopefully this will change soon. Im located in the UK.
The update does show up on my Galaxy Tab running 2.2
Update:
the newer version is now available for the XOOM. but flash in Opera mobile browser don't work any more.

Android 3 = Honeycomb 3.0. What's wrong with calling it Android 3? We call all other phones with Android 2.2 or Android 2.3 etc.. We're on 3 right now lol.

I'm only seeing the beta app for honeycomb. Not anything new.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App

Definitely a difference. Amazon Prime videos weren't working before and are working now. Some Flash games had updated recently and broken and are working now and with better performance.

Great, I can download 10.2.157 on my thunderbolt, but it doesn't show up on my xoom

well the best features from this update
wont be available until google updates honeycomb apparently.

people whose update isn't showing up..
restart your xoom, then immediately go to the market
then hit my apps and your update should show up in the left

i got the update today,it says the hardware accelerated flash was for 3.1 only, but it runs flash way smoother now then before, also flash doesnt drain the battery as much as it did before

Sweet! Thanks for the heads up OP!

this updated a big improvment if you let your gf play fb games on the xoom
all the popular fb games work perfectly now

Yep. Hate to get all pedantic but it's either Android 3/3.0 OR Honeycomb. The number is a version of Android OS, Honeycomb is just the codename for it.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

plus our software is listed as 3.0.1
so maybe it was a typo by them saying 3.0.1 lol
if motorola updates the xoom software, i wonder if the google version will even change

I hope someone patches this new version quickly with the hulu fix!

Cool story bro.

How can we verify these photo's are the real deal? Build information can be easily changed with root rights and launcher themes can be designed.

Oh don't start that, these have come from the same source that gave us gingerbread pictures last year. Those pictures turned out to be very real so we have no reasons to distrust these ones.

Same here. It may as well be 2.3.7.

The main UI will be largely the same however certain elements will have more of a 3.x twist to them, like the widget screen and app switcher.
Also apps will work differently when in landscape (tablet mode) to portrait (phone mode).

I see the word "soju" in those screen shots... Thats a Korean Alcohol... Just sayin'

Taken from Engadget comments.
-Honeycomb uses a much newer kernel build, 2.6.36, and ICS was allegedly supposed to use the new Linux 3.0 kernel
-Phone icon taken directly from froyo, not even gingerbread
-Android version is supposed to say the version number, not name, even with previous leaks with gingerbread they always showed the number. ie 3.1 or 4.0
-This has a teal blue theme rather than the dark blue colors of Honeycomb
-App tray should be semi-transparent, where are the holographic UI elements from Honeycomb?
- Shouldnt the clock have an LED font?
- That power control widget has been removed ever since Honeycomb

i just hope most of the stock apps is improved. weathers, t9 dialers, better stock email and many more that should be as a out of the box perfection.

Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App

Nothing against the guy but I dont see the real point in editing the pictures, infact i dont see the whole point of this "proof of concept" photo. Was expecting more changes from ICS though.. I wonder how it performs resolution scaling with apps?

I still hope those are fake or just an early test version. Can't really see much improvement if that's what ICS looks. Hopefully it will be much better than that.

Go Launcher HD for Tablets v1.0 Beta

I just stumbled across this today and so far I really like it. I was using the Trebuchet launcher on Thor's ICS v96, and although it does have a lot of customization it is slightly laggy. So far Go Launcher HD is running super smooth with no noticeable lag.

Thanks for notice.

It appears there is very minimal options available (It is a BETA, I will forgive them)
Themeing is not a option, yet.. Maybe keep an eye out.
I like the new dock, but they need to use more of the screen for available widgets, utilizing ALL of the screen.
I can compare say, Stock Launcher, to GoLauncher Ex, where the margins on the side are smaller, giving more space, maybe I am insane. At this stage, I have set up something, but I am not a huge fan and will go back to GoLauncherEX until they sort out the theme issue and give us more options. Hopefully they can implement all those of the normal EX and maybe some more? EG, making wallpapers work better (most of us are faced to use Multipicture Live to correct incorrect showing wallpaper)
in short, it is good, but not great.. yet. Hopefully with updates, this is fixed

It's only a beta but so far so good. I'm sure themes will be an option down the line, and I agree that the top and bottom margins are way too big.

Really like it can't wait to see what happens next really sleek and fast launcher compared to the phone ver. On tablets...

I gave this a shot - though I have little patience for beta testing. I hate the dock and since there are basically no settings to speak of, I'll wait till they have a final release.
