Have fun with your Desire while the rest of the world is on 2.2 or 3.x

lol you don't really know what you are talking about, do you?
hero is promised to get the 2.1 update, questions is when. eclair is the "nickname" of android 2.1, it has nothing to do with the nexus. and the nexus rom will never work on the hero.

Where is the promise? Can you link to an official statement (not from some blog, rumor spreading tech-site) from HTC? HTC once had semi-promises on their twitter... but they have since deleted their messages there.
Even the source of the announcement that it comes in June is obscure and I don't consider it an official statement.
I actually don't believe that there will be an upgrade anymore.

Assuming that the Desire gets fully rooted, and once HTC releases the Desire kernel source, I'd imagine that porting Nexus One ROMs onto a Desire would be relatively trivial since so much of the hardware is shared.

So when the 2.1 from Sprint gets released what changes for us?

It seems to me thanks to the leak, we have everything an official release would have, except the bugs . Why is everyone anticipating it so much?

1. fresh kitchen.
2. kernel source code for the .29 kernel.
3.??

I think it is more for the code guys, because once they release officially then leagally HTC has to release the source (which they probably wont without pestering again) but that will allow the code monkeys (no offence you guys are awesome) to work their magic and get things really improved.

That is a very good question. I am completely happy with what I have now. Fresh 2.0d is, IMO, as good as it gets.

Thank you. That makes perfect sense. I had forgotten about the Kernel being OSS.

Some of you guys are completely delusional. The official release is going to fix an enormous number of bugs that currently exist in all 2.1-leak-based roms.

And most likely create more bugs than it fixes.....just as the November MR did.

im not sure what bugs you are refering to. I have 0 problems with my phone (except when I mess with stuff)

First the OFFICIAL version shouldn't have us running back and forth to FIX little things.
Loading a ROM after the release should be as smooth as say....Fresh 1.1
I haven't had to FIX anything in that ROM and everything works.
My 2 cents is that being able to find the thread you want with the ROM dev you like and then load that ROM would be sweet.
But sifting thru' 200 plus pages and being asked to fix the ROM is weird for me.
Seems the dev would ADD the fix and re-release?.....no?
But like everyone else, I'm waiting for the OFFICIAL release before jumping into making assorted changes which we ALL might have to re-change when the release comes about.
Thanks,
Bubba.

The forums are called 'XDA DEVELOPERS'. If you (not you specifically but in general) are going to ***** and whine because the ROMs you're using aren't 100% flawless...you're in the wrong place. Sit down shut up and wait for the official release. These ROMs aren't perfect, nor are they intended to be...but by and large they're a hell of a lot better than the crap Sprint has consistently put out (both Android and WinMo).
As for 'fixing huge amount of bugs'....umm..I doubt it. I doubt Sprint would even be aware of most of them were it not for developers and testers like those here on XDA.

With the update to 2.1, Hero users will be able to activate an ancient supernatural power known as Voltron. We can either use it to better humanity...or destroy society.... I call dibs on the head.

I wouldn't look for that .29 kernel source to be available when the office 2.1 drops. HTC's gonna **** around for a while before giving that up.

Considering how long it took to get the source code for the .27 kernel, don't count on it.

As i said, and I'll say it again..
DO NOT INSTALL THIS UPDATE IF YOU NEED ROOT IN A FUTURE!
Why???!

I am one of those crazy ones who does not care about root. I did it once, and removed it. Call me crazy.
Installing now ...
PS what I mean, most people on this board would know this, and will have read your other posts about the subject.
On top, I am sure some genius will hack this one also and we can root it. It will just take a while longer.

Oh I tell you, I was crazy once... didn't care about the root. Just wanted Android 2.1. I wanted it now. But then, in a moment of enlightenment, I listened to shadow_fi. And when HTC announced that there will be no further updates past 2.1 to Hero (at least CDMA, but I guess it applies to every other Hero), it was obvious that we shall not go down that evil OTA path... and so I flashed VillainROM 10.3.2 and hence my Hero will live happily ever after.

Just spoke with HTC Support and they said Orange and 3 OTA is delayed but by how much they would not say

That is becoming less and less likely with more people moving to other devices, if you flash this 2.1 chances are you will never be able to try new things like a froyo release

There is already a thread ** Official 2.1 UK UPDATE Thread ** .
Keep posts in the same area regards to this update then everyone can find it.

Icecream Sandwhich beta sites down

Hello,
So I figured today that I would install icecream sandwhich on my Evo Shift. There is a problem with this however:
The only download links I can find to the files required are from Multiupload, and Multiupload is being blocked. Does anyone know of an alternative source where I can get: Speedy ICS 4.0.3 AOSP – Evervolv Kang Build v1.1?
I have tried many searches and I am not having any luck. Any help that can be provided would be much appreciated.

http://www.evervolv.com/download/Artis thats his section for the evo shift from his website

Thank you for your quick response. I went to the website you posted. I see he has listed different versions. The one listed as the most current version does my mention Icecream Sandwich in the log (his previous versions seem to list they are Gingerbread downloads). Also when I clicked the link he gives for the download, it says that he uploaded the file in June of last year, which suggests it isn't Icecream Sandwich. Do you know of a link that is for Android 4.0 (icecream sandwich)? Like I said, I can only find sites that list the Multiupload link, and that site is down. Thanks again for your time and help.

yeah that link is only for the his GB ROMs. Prewludedrew actually hasn't updated his ICS for the Shift in a minute AFAIK.. I would suggest trying Zenulators ZenMod9 or KushDeck's ICS ROM.. Both ROMs are a little bit farther along in development.

Here it is http://bit.ly/vhC1dk its Preview 3 but i would listen to crump

I would NOT flash ICS on shift at this time.

Sure. That's a great point.
But keep in mind, when you go back to GB after the display corruption, broken camera, broken GPS, broken WiMax and you get FC's after restoring your nandroid, you'd agree with my opinion.

ics definately is not usable as a daily driver obviously. But it does help the developers for users to flash and report bugs/issues they are having and what may be causing the issues. Some people may not need 4G like people that use miui as their daily roms, so once a majority of the bugs are squashed I'm sure a lot of people will find it usable. I am going to miss things like theme chooser and built in tethering from cm7 though there's a lot of good things in gingerbread roms that I hope I can just let go of when it's time to move on.

Noob? Who the hell you calling a noob lol? They know all the bugs they had like one or two people test it before releasing it for the devs that don't have the device. We're lucky enough to have some experienced devs that do have the device and probably do know most of the major issues/bugs. Don't ever tell people to shutup, this is a discussion board remember?

Still there's no reason why people should'nt give it a try. Otherwise, what's the point or rooting and installing a custom recovery? You should encourage users to try new ROMs, if it doesn't work out, that's why we have nandroid backups. I was using ICS as a daily since I don't have 4G where I live and camera isn't a big concern for me. I'm currently on MikG to develop an app for tommytomatoe and once complete, I will be rocking it again. How about letting people form their own opinion without you always throwing your negativity and "expert" opinion into the mix?

I guess the only feature not working I would miss is the camera. Do you guys think there is any chance of the camera being fixed in the future?

Q will we get jelly been

as above will we get jellybean on hd2 from devs

Possibly
Well that's hard to say, I mean we do not even have ICS fully working yet. There are HW acceleration issues that may continue into JB as well.

How can you ask if we are getting a version of android that is not released yet?

Still an undeniably stupid question, Jelly Bean hasn't been released yet and we know nothing about it so there isn't any way of telling.
