Quote from HTC on the 2.1 Update

Just been talking to HTC Support about a problem with my Hero. I also asked them about the 2.1 update and she said (and I quote) '...the 2.1 update will be an over the air update which will be for T-Mobile and unbranded Hero's and will start on 30th April. Other operators will follow later. This is for the UK, other countries will have different release dates...'
So guys, another one to add to the mix.
Now don't start flaming me for posting this and don't acuse me of lying - I am merely passing on what HTC told me today.

well I guess its better news this time since its promised date is getting shorter each time they mention it (ie its not like next month or whatever they keep saying).
Not hold my breath anyway - bit the bullet a couple of weeks ago and installed villianRom 5.2 - seems to work well with a few glitch but nothing to cry home about.

I won't accuse you of lying but nothing will be set in stone until an official date is confirmed in a press release.
So I hope its true, but chances are it will get hit my more delays.

Actually, quite surprise that T-mobile will be the same time as unbranded phones though. usually carrier phones comes after sim free ones.

another episode from the neverending story... ._.

My god if there wasn't those posts the hero forum would be rather dead..... i mean i had a wimo phone before, and there were plenty of usefull posts, interesting apps, etc. and for the hero, except from some posts very useful for newbies like me (rooting, flashing radio, adb manual...etc.), nothing really interesting !!! Again and again the same posts..

SPB Mobile Shell 5.0

Watch this :
http://blog.laptopmag.com/spb-mobil...on-an-android-interface-we-love#axzz12FwD59YD
Seriously, we NEED this launcher on HD2 to make it the best phone ever, since SPB Mobile Shell will be available on Android AND WinMo. It's not about to be leaked before a very long time, but I hope this thread will be dug out by early 2011.

They, SPB, have been talking about V5 since Feb 2010. They said it was to be released to OEM/Dealers this month. Go to their forums and see how they BS everyone. SPB is very poor in support. Beleive it when you have it on your phone.

It was released to device manufacturers about a week ago. Its finished. They are not BSing anybody. It looks awesome... a major step up from 3.5! And yes, the new version is available for android also!

Other than a few improvements to widgets it looks pretty much the same as the 3.5 version I've already got on my phone.

Actually I cant wait for spb Mobile Shell to be released on Android. Most people who use Mobile Shell for windows Mobile knows about my ProPlus themes and I want to be able to bring ProPlus to Android aswell.
I just hope it will be available for public sale though as spb seem to only be releasing 5.0 to Manufactureres and Carriers.

Did you not read my post? It might never be available to download if they only ship it to carriers and manufacturers to put in new phones only.
Mark.

when the folders open like the favorite contacts it opens like the ui in ios 4 folders

"...SPB Mobile Shell 5.0, which works on Android, Symbian, and Windows Mobile devices. Unfortunately, this is not something you can download. SPB is targeting OEMs and carriers to deploy this software."
That kind of sucks because iv'e been following the development of 5.0 for a long time now and WAS excited. Knowing this, however, kind of bumbed me out. Guess i figured it'd be a quick update from 3.5 or maybe another full payment to download it.
Didn't figure i'd have to get a new phone..although, if this U.I. comes with the new phones, i'd feel a bit dupped...seeing that theirs came free with the phone but we dished out cash for ours.

Let's just hope there will be a leak before 2011.

Its not going to be available to anyone other than OEM's as they are releasing it in kit form for the carriers to add their own finishing touches. There was a post in the Spb Mobile Shell forum on the 7th which you actually replied to. If it does get ripped out of a phone then unfortunately it wont be available on xda as im sure it will be a licensed package and therefore considered warez.

Yes I think so. If you extracted something out of that ROM that others have to pay for, then it is still "warez". It's not opensource.

Maybe not, after all, it's not even proposed for sale to the customers, only manufacturers. I mean, HTC has not been making an issue about the use of Sense running on other phones it wasn't supposed to, right?

that really depends on the company's attitude toward it. HTC seems to be treating the Sense thing the same way adobe treats it.
if you download it illegally, and use it long enough, you will get hooked and want to buy it.
i mean, how many people upgraded to a native sense android phone. after using sense on their g1's

I agree that this should be treated like ROMs with Sense. Since it's not available for the public to buy, it's shouldn't be considered warez.

If it won't be on xda it'll be on some other page who cares.. What SPB does is not customer friendly they hyped it long time ago and now again and tell us that we probably won't get it.. pff we will get it for sure

WM7 on Atrix?

I've searched, but haven't yet found a solution. Is there any way of getting Windows Mobile 7 Mango on the Atrix?

Yes. Pull out the guts of your atrix and put the guts of a focus in there. FINISH HIM!!!

AFAIK the only non-WP7 phone to run WP7 is the HTC HD2, and I belive thats because of similarities with the HD7. It wont run on the Atrix. Ever.

Not one person on this forum would Ever put WP7 on this phone. So asking is slightly funny to say the least. No one who owns an Android would go through the hassle of putting dated crap software on their fast running Android Phone. It would be like Apple coming out and saying Hey by the way we are going to load all of our computers with Windows Vista from now on lmao.

Huh? Since when was MS trying to stop Android?

Think at this point, Android is to Microsoft as Halo/Gears is to Microsoft..... one massive cash cow.

My Dell Venue Pro runs nearly just as smooth and fast as my OC Atrix. I know WP7 will never run on this (and I don't want it to), but it's not that bad really and yes you can load ringtones and notifications thru Zune but it's a pain. Given all the money Microsoft is throwing at it and the fact that almost 40% of HTC devices sold are running it...it's not going anywhere and will only get better. It'll never be Android but that's kinda the point...we already have Android.
Microsoft isn't trying to stop Android...they're gonna make $480 million a year from it as is lol.

I would. I feel that WP7 is THE best OS out there now. Why did I not get it? Lack of apps and i caught the "flashing disease"

It would certainly be fun to try out mango on the atrix. Actually the OS is very fast and stable, but its rather imposible to make it work on a hardwarewise non-standard wp7 phone. Id say one might have more luck with win8/wp8, since that one apparently has tegra2 driver support etc.

Well many ROM junkies like myself would try it out if it was available. But I would definitely not switch to WM7 on permanent basis.
Having said that, there is to little demand and too much effort needed into porting it, so it won't be available on the atrix ever.
My ATRIX has wrote this without my consent!

what numbers are unlocked streaks? I updated to 360 a while back which is a 00 but I don't have a windows pc to flashboot any more

00 ROMs are for unlocked Streaks. If you don't have a Windows PC to flash though, that could be somewhat problematic. In my experience, the OTA upgrades tend to be very flaky, and thus copying the update.pkg to the SD card manually is often a better bet.

i do have an ubuntu laptop..
the last time i used flashboot was on my sisters windows laptop but she does not have it anymore i dont know how to flashboot on linux (is it even possible?) i cant even install StreakMod Recovery anymore without flashboot

I would find a copy of Windows if I were you, because I don't think there is a Linux native version of fastboot out there.

google for fastboot for ubuntu, i don´t have the url here, but i´ve sucessfull used fastboot on ubuntu 11.10

Thanks jitin02 for sharing the news.
It would be nice if they provide a better launcher instead of laggy Stage UI.

that's great news. there are a couple of things that I wish I could see updated and I am writing those down in hope that, maybe the guys developing it read this forum:
* New dialer that:
- works in all dpi's (preferably without visual bugs).
- has smart search (searching for contacts with the stock dialer on streak is a pain).
* gtalk video and audio
* toggles in the notification area (like the samsung touchwiz or cyanogen mod). This is actually a new feature but one that I think that everybody would love.
* fix fastboot erase command (I am not sure that's actually fixable by firmware but since its a wishlist )
* and the most important of all: PLEASE, release the drivers sources so we can port other ROMS, that's actually the single best thing that you could be doing for fellow streakers.

HTC One Android 4.2 Official Update Confirmed Once Again

Better true this time The wait has been too long.... Can't wait....
The HTC One Android 4.2 official update has once again been confirmed by the company without a specific release time frame being provided. Earlier this month we reported that HTC Russia had confirmed availability of Android 4.2.2 for HTC One in mid-June, but the update itself is yet to drop. Recently Three UK, one of the carrier partners across the pond that offers HTC’s latest flagship, recently replied to a customer’s query on Twitter revealing that HTC had “just pulled” the 4.2.2 release. This indicates that a June launch of this update was definitely on the cards, with Engadget reporting that HTC has confirmed to them that the update is indeed coming soon, but customers might have to wait a bit longer. HTC One ships with Android 4.1 pre-installed, whereas its main rival the Galaxy S4 ships with Android 4.2. Some features expected in the HTC One Android 4.2 official update have already been detailed, but the company itself hasn’t confirmed exactly what improvements this update will bring. Like everyone else, we’ll keep waiting patiently for this update, and will let you know as soon as it drops.... Read more at: http://www.ubergizmo.com/2013/06/htc-one-android-4-2-official-update/

Does it really matter? I mean, the M7 is already set up better than the S4 with its 4.2 config... I honestly don't think it needs anything at all in terms of added software features, just some finishing touches (and softkey related updates to everyone who is still waiting for it).

everybody pays a premium for gadgets. not just a phone alone.
and it's already performing currently, there's no need to rush things.
good things come to those who wait.
if everything u paid for deserves to be updated quickly because "it costs like a premium item" , then you're wrong.
it's like saying i paid a premium for my ac router, i deserve faster firmware updates to speed the damn thing up
and they have no obligations to comply with the open source license. only google does that.
nowadays with all the patent ****storms, nobody really cared about open source anymore. they want everything to themselves

HTC generally is pretty fast, sometimes a few weeks slower than samsung, sometimes a few weeks faster with updates. I installed the 4.2.2 update but immediately I noticed my bottom speaker started popping and the animation in the pull down menu was jittery and when opening the app drawer I first saw a grid of 4x2 icons before showing my 5x4 grid. These were just the bugs I noticed in the first minutes of installing. HTC were right in pulling that update. JB 4.2 itself doesn' t offer a lot either for phones. The one thing I really want from 4.2 is the fix for the msm_hsic_host suspend bug, but most people seem to be unaffected by this wakelock anyway.

Most importantly for me is the 3 dot black menu bar remove and pull down notification wireless etc toggle menu.

My wife owns the s4 and trust me, I wish they would have taken more time working out the bugs. She's Constantly complaining about little things not working, and I'm always having to clear cache on apps, rebooting her phone and what not to fix it.
My htc one runs 100x more stable than her s4 despite being rooted rommed and s off

Yeah I got rid of the s4 for this. That phone was laggy as hell. And I had custom kernels and roms on it. This was faster then that off the bat. And even with cpu powersave on it is still faster haha.
