Yeah... I saw that. Little skeptical though because once you trace the source back to handhelditems they say someone got that info from a webchat with Sprint. We all know to think twice about those! lol It does seem to line up with that April 9th update that's been floating around though. Who knows...

Hopefully this is true and not another april fools prank. It was about a week-week and a half ago they rumored it would release in the coming weeks. Fingers crossed.................

With all the sprint leaks we have been getting I think it might be getting close.
But who knows

I already have it thanks damage

good, it's about time, tired of watching people get LEAKS and then not sharing the source...

don't worry, Sprint will just repackage one of the XDA roms as their own and use it as the official update

ive said it once ill say it again the april 9th update is a maintenance release to fix mms issues not 2.1

sprint hasnt told us anything beyond that

any new news on an "official" release date? im hearing either the 9th or 26th of this month? i don't get why sprint is soo tight lipped about this?
also when is the nexus & evo launching on sprint?

no ONE cares anymore

Once every single bug has been worked out of DamageControl, Sprint will pull it off XDA and release it.

with alot of tweaking to do after the initial install, yes your right.
i hope when the final comes out and we get custom roms, we won't have to apply any fixes. this is one reason im back to 1.5 for now. i have faith in the devs here, they do great work!

Why do we keep creating threads on this issue. It is a waste of space. It will come when Sprint is ready to release it. They have never given an exact date. People get so pissed because they haven't sent an update. Well guess what. When you bought your phone it had 1.5. They are not required to update it to 2.1. Either use a custom ROM or shut up and wait until it comes out.Then when it comes on don't get on here complaining about how crappy the release is.
I have Fresh 2.0d and it is working very well.
----------------------------
Shut up and wait
Running: Fresh2.0d
Developing:WarpedMetal (T minus 2 weeks)

Just got out of a sprint chat. this is what they're saying

honestly no thread can "waste space" as well we have plenty of it. I wasn't complaining nor *****ing about it. I am more happy with the legend based roms then the leaked Sprint roms but when the official Rom hits it will help with more development to fix issues and get faster roms out there. honestly if you don't like these threads the easy thing to do is stay out of them. no one is forcing anyone to read the forum or a certain posts. forums are for talking that is there main and only reason for existing.
damn I hate trolls.

Wow, that's interesting, I dont know whether to believe it or believe the support guy/gal was confused by the question and didnt know how to answer, so he/she just gave something generic

Does Sprint use any automated responses on the chat support? I know there's quite a few companies that do, the program just selects a basic response to generic questions about that subject, and it seems like the responses that are given by these reports are way too "computery" to be coming from a human. So I'm guessing that the system Sprint's chat support uses has a list of responses pop up based on key words in the client's question.
Probably way off base, but it'd almost make sense based on how similar the responses are in all these chat transcripts.

G2 Android 2.3 Confirmed For Q2

i didnt know if anyone has seen htc confirm we are getting android 2.3 officially in q2 so i emailed them and this is what i got in response.
I understand how important it is to have the most current software available for your device and I am happy to inform you that the G2 is scheduled to receive the 2.3 update later in the second quarter of this year.

Desire HD apparently getting theirs OTA now. Surely ours should not be far behind.....Surely?
What it means when ours is released is hopefully rmk40 will release an official virtuous 2.0 rom. It might also move us closer to the point where they release the kernel source and we can start seeing overclocking kernels for Gingerbread sense roms. (and trackpad wake etc)

According to Engadget:
"That just leaves the Desire Z and original Desire, both of which should be joining the party by the end of June. "
So more or less two months later. No matter, maybe they will make even more fixes and changes for us. (Maybe a version of Sense 3.0 for our "weaker" phones - but I doubt that)

The only reason they are saying end of June, is because HTC said it would happen by end of Q2. So it can happen anytime between now and the end of June.

True. But I rather expect the end of June and be surprised than the otherway around

Haha, set you expectations low, and never be disappointed, eh?

Anywhere soon is good for me Even though I'm already using a better ROM than what they'd bring out haha (TrollogenMOD ) Also... It won't take as long as it took my Hero to get 2.1 I bet

This sums up pretty much every expectation in my life lol.

Given the track record with everyone involved regarding prompt releases (Google, T-Mobile), it'll be at least November before it's actually available. How many months were us old Dream users waiting on Cupcake? Donut? Eclair (which turned out to be vaporware for the Dream)?

there is no way it will be november since we already have a leaked version for the stock gingerbread rom and it seems to work perfect... i dont see a reason for it taken to long to be released.

Not yet, but i saw that Desire HD and Incredible S had already be update by OTA, so maybe release for G2 in Q2 recently?

Wow, a lot of G2 owners here that came from the Cliq. I gave my Cliq to my dad after I got the G2. I remember Motorola's definition of "coming soon" for the Eclair update. Lol
Luckily we had developers like J_r0dd and HandlerExploit working on the Cliq back then.

wt a disaster. I always loved his roms and work. I still cannot believe that he left :crying:. I just realized that the thread has got 3 stars only. For me it deserved a 5 star

I dont know what happened i think everyone complained cause the latest rom didnt work for GSM and noone wanted to do multirom me included but i could have waited till it was fixed. I hope he comes back. Alot of people love his work i do too im on sense 6 right now

Given the number of roms and the volume of work entailed I'm surprised there is only one man behind it all. Take his roms away and the m7 development forums become a much bleaker place imo.

This is true and let's not forget the number of "devs" that kang his work because it is so good. Everyone will then be left with buggy sense 7 roms that still rely on sense 6 parts to work.

SAD
Here's why it happened:
Santod040's quote:
Due to the repackaging and redistribution of my Sense 7 rom, without my permission and my rom name and Dev name being removed from it, I am closing all my GSM rom threads and projects and at this time, I have no intentions of returning to the GSM forums.
Sorry to those of you who have enjoyed and appreciated my efforts, I wish you all the best!
Really sad that 1 or 2 morons messed it up for everyone.
Note from me: Shame on you idiots who thought you could steal someone else's stuff.
Karma can be a real beyotch later - remember that.

So sad that he decided to leave GSM forum. Maybe we should file an online petition to let him change his mind.

Kinda what I was hoping for here.
Take a look at the ElementalX thread. It's full of failed to boot posts as well. This problem isn't limited to this developer.
Sent from my HTC One

Send him a link to this thread
Let him know that has a lot of supporters who love his work and would love to see him releasing amazing roms.
Please dont leave ?

I have been using his ROMs for a while now. Very sad that he will not continue developing them. I'm getting an M9 in a few weeks and hopefully someone equally skilled (or santod040) will develop ROMs for that device.

So sad that some idiots steal his work. I hope that if he upgrades to the M9 he will continue his development. His roms were smooth and with great feedback/support of him. Everything was compiled by him in the nusenseven rom. I have the roms but have not the knowledge to cook it myself for GSM. He will leave a big hole in the GSM dev scene.

Android Marshmallow Discussion

In case you didn't know, T-Mobile has just confirmed via their support page the list of devices - Note 4 included- receiving Android 6.0 in the upcoming weeks/months.
https://support.t-mobile.com/community/phones-tablets-devices/software-updates#tmoSUPDocTitle
Thanks,

Awesome. So we'll probably get it by 2017.

Probably about the same time as Android Nougat is released.

Don't you mean Android Zeppole?
Wait... So 5.1.1 was/is being slipped over?

Wow, so really when did T-Mobile fall way behind Verizon as the worst carrier for getting out updates? It used to be Verizon was far worse then all the carriers for getting out updates. I wish Sammy would just make there phones with Vanilla Android and the Spen and features work on those Kernels. Imagine CM with a working Spen suit?

How soon can we expect to see custom Marshmallow ROMs for our devices based on the ASOP Nexus Marshmallow ROMs?

So another 6ish months before we can hope to have an update. Skipping the one we know works. Hopefully Marshmallow isn't nearly as bad as when lollipop 5.0 landed. T-mobile is just about worthless for updates.

Yes, my understanding is that both will receive the update.

Its in Phase-1. T-mobile will take 4-5 months to test the software with their crapware, then it will be ready for us .

lol I feel your pain. I feel that way. But I'm actually one of those guys that hates battery drains and such so i never ever take a major update untill its been out awhile and i know there aren't issues. That's why I'm still on 4.4.4 running Hyperdrive RLS3 cause 5.0.1 i constantly hear the battery is noticeably worse on 5.0.1 then Kit Kat.
So Updates aren't crazy important to me, it's easy for me to just sit back and wait.

BaHumBug! We, Tmobile customers, should have already learned the lesson by now that this only means a 6-7 month wait for 6.0 (possible bugs too) and most will move on to different phones/carriers by then. I love my Note 4, I think it is still a great overall phone but Tmobile sucks with updates.
Also can't wait for those that will come to this thread lets say about 2-3 months from now that will ask "so did 6.0 come out yet?" or "Any news on 6.0?".

If this article is to be believed, there seems to be a certain Note 4 missing from development by Samsung....
I'll give you a hint... It starts with a T and ends with a Mobile.

Generally devs tend to only release their roms in the main forum for a particular device...much easier to maintain.
Because of that, each rom usually states in the OP what it's compatible with.

Probably should have prefaced OP by saying I know my way around XDA, I know there is multiple model threads, and I have been to your link. Just trying to save a little digging effort. Some of those roms in your link support VZW model...was hoping folks could say which ones, and some folks have responded. Thanks!

I tried viper and leedroid. Stock Verizon rom still seems to be doing better job with reception. Much better I must say.

What's hot to you? I haven't gotten this phone hot yet and I had the m9 before. This phone seems to do much better than the m9 on that front
To further answer the question..
Cameras are great.
Fit/finish are great
Speakers are so-so (I've heard with root mods they are better)
Missing some of the classic HTC apps but can be installed via apk mirror.
It's my favorite phone of all in the last two years.

Hot is noticeably hot in my hand. I've had EX Kernel Manager report temps reaching to the upper 40s C on an occasional basis. Usually it's the upper 30s or lower 40s after a few minutes of Facebook or web browsing.
