Did you know your Sprint Hero will be getting Eclair early next year? Well...now you do! Happy Friday ladies and gents

I don't think anyone was questioning if. Its when.

yea, i wasnt ever concerned whether we were going to get the update, but rather the time frame in which we would.
confirmatory tweets are always welcomed though

Looks like it won't be for several months.

"Happy to announce Android 2.0 is coming to Sprint’s Hero & Moment. Date TBD, but roughly 1H 2010."
1st half.... not even 1st quarter!!!

Might as well have just said "it'll come out eventually", haha.

Hahahaha
Lets see 1H 2010, ususally the updates run about 2 time periods behind when they say that they will be available... so looking somewhere around 1H2011...

By that time, the development work for 2.1 here in XDA-Developers will already be done and all of us will be looking forward to the next release.

I wonder why the Moment is being held up on the 2.0 release, when it's just vanilla Android. I really didn't think they were going to give us that broad of a timespan though. I figured January would be the latest that we'd have 2.0. So unless Google makes some changes, there's a good chance we won't be using their newest apps for a long time (officially anyway). By the time we get 2.0, Droid will be running 4.5 .

as long as we get 2.1 here first and i can brag about it for a whole before anyone else has it, im happy lol.

Thank you for your post. I've read in more than one site questions regarding IF the sprint hero was getting Eclair even some doubters. Good job

HTC has affirmed that we will be getting an update on more than one occasion now, but you're right, a reminder and an update from them is always welcome. I just wish we could keep talks of this in a single thread.

*cough*we need a mod*cough*
But, thanks for the update...I really wanna try some of these apps that need Eclair!

1H 2010? Really? Talk about vague. I may go back to big red for the Passion if we don't see it very soon.
I love Sprint, and my Hero, but let's be real.... almost every Android phone on the market will be LIGHT YEARS ahead of us if it takes more than a couple months at most.

While I agree that it isn't cool to toy around with us...specially since we'll still be behind when the update hits most likely. But still...I don't think that not getting an update warrants hopping the fence haha.
but then again, I cannot even really use that since I "hopped the proverbial fence" after my girlfriend dumped me and haven't looked back...if you get my drift haha

I think it's a perfect reason to hop the fence, show sprint that we want our updates, we can't do anything on 1.5 .. no nav, no goggles, nothing new and exciting, i'm fed up and i would rather start over with a new phone.. than wait for sprint to get off their lazy behinds and feed us something that should have been out already

Or keep your eyes peeled for the 2.0-ish roms we have in the works here, there's a decent chance we'll be fully up and running by the time the other phones get their official update. But by all means, "stick it to the 'man'..." and cancel your service. It's your prerogative. I personally don't see the need. I like my sprint service and I like my sprint hero. /shrug

See, I don't think Sprint will have an update for us until about May (I just have a feeling on this). In light of that, I'm definitely looking at the development on the 2.0/2.1 ROMs in the other threads...those look like they will be ready way before Sprint updates us.

Just an update on this, link.

Thanks, that's good to know! I was just wondering (for the 5 millionth time) how things were progressing.
So... who do you think is in the lead now, HTC devs or Sprint? My $ is still on you guys. God only knows how long the testing phase will actually be.

FRF44 is Android 2.2 release?

I don't know if this is useful at all, but I was visiting the top 10 linpack results and noticed what appears to be an FRF44 2.2 with release keys in the results.
http://www.greenecomputing.com/apps/linpack/linpack-top-10/
-James

Seems to me it is. I have read an article that said that jit and froyo would be twice as fast as eclaire

Wow. Just look at all those FROYO MFLOPP scores! =P

Omg, this week gonna be so fun.

A) Why is this in development?
B) This is news from several days ago.

I googled FRF44. I couldn't find it anywhere except for on the linpack website. That's news.
Secondly, it gives rom developer something to look for.
Sounds reasonable?
We could petition a mod to move this of course if it's not up to everyones posting standards. I hope that that this can be settled in a way that benefits everyone

dont be so hard a simple "hey this might be better off in Q&A mod please move" and yes we know this is old news. i heard about this oh last week i believe

Uncalled for...
Yea, he could say that... But it seems people here and everwhere online like to just be asshats about things rather than being polite... Clearly these people parents failed at raising polite individuals...

just follow androidfroyo on twitter and you'll get spammed whenever news comes out. theres like 2000000 websites already covering the linpack results

As it's FRF44 I would say that it's a Froyo build.

We only have another 24 hours before we find out... will be interesting how quickly the rom 'cooks' get to work on it

Wont be till Thurs that any info appears, thats when the "Android: TBA" sessions are.

Keynotes are tomorrow. Froyo will likely be announced and displayed then. The android TBA will be workshops based on what is announced.

Now That We Have I9000 GingerBread Source...

Shall we make a thread for all of us to drool over the thoughts of custom roms coming soon? i think yes . I think that the roms id like to see a version of in gingerbread would have to be Firefly,di11igaf,Cognition and paragon. That would be AWESOME! Could you imagine that awesome FireFly theme on GingerBread....DOWANT. What about you guys? Lets have soemthing to talk about until those roms start pourin out from all the freakin awesome devs here.

Seriously? Do you not even look in the forum? There is already a post about this.

Lol why do you have to have a stick up your ass? really i dont get it. Im just excited about gingerbread coming to our phones. yes i read the damn forums, ive been on here all day. theres no post thats just like mine. there is around 4 posts TOTAL about gingerbread. 3 of them from before today. one from this morning that i myself ALSO have post in. I didnt want to thread jack someones thread so i started my own. So you take your sarcastic comments and epeen somewhere else and let me enjoy my thread. sheesh

Reported for close.

Just curious, why are XDA people so uptight? If you don't like the thread, don't respond. It will get shuffled down to the bottom eventually. It's not that annoying if someone miss posts, or decides to create a new thread when one already exists... Unless you have no life I guess...

If you want to speed it up, send xcal some money... it's his magic that lets you run all the i9000 stuff in the first place.

Official GB will be awesome though. My hopes is that theyll be able to port twframework to cyanogenmod so we can have a decent camera app, but something tells me that wont happen...

Well that would also go against the AOSP thing hah. But i agree that would be awesome to have a good camera going in CM7. I also am hopefull for the things that this I9000 source can bring to CM7 and MIUI even if it cant help the camera (or maybe it can lol)

Why the attitude, the guy is just simply trying to avoid cluttering the forum. A simple "Ohh I didn't know, thanks for pointing out" should have been enough. Why are people so deffensive?. I missed the old WM days.
Thread closed and will closed other threads with the same topic, posted today, tomorrow or a year ago... simple as that.

Is Infuse 4G Development Dead or what?

Kinda curious what's going on here. Seems since mid-June there hasn't been much progress made on Infuse ROMs\mods. Is it that the phone is being somewhat swept under the rug in the shadow of the SGS II or is there just a bit of a waiting game to see if we'll get Gingerbread, or is the phone just not popular enough to develop for? From those I've talked to at @T&T, they say it's still their hottest phone as of July 1... so not sure why so quiet on here. Maybe it's just that since it's great out of the box people aren't as compelled to work on it?

You should really take your trolling elsewhere.
Saying "Use the search button" is the most pointless response ever. From someone who has 1 THANK YOU it's not a shock, but it's super annoying that you're trying to boost your post count with this idiocy.
Go somewhere else.

trolling? boost my post count?! that's the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard. has it ever occured to you that some people read more than they post? that may help you to understand why you started this thread in the first place.

EL OH EL... Development isn't dead... It's just pointless to do any further development at this point, with a GB leak right around the corner, either with a leak, or the Rogers Infuse.

Thanks for the info
And I have little respect for those who talk to hear themselves talk, so sorry I can't stand people like him. Look at his posts. He attacks every response.

I do think it's a combination of both the things you mentioned - a shadow of the SGS 2 coming up, as well as Gingerbread official release for the Infuse releasing anytime now. Even though I recently brought mine and personally love this phone, I am super curios to see SGS 2 in every day use. That massive home button format that Samsung has implemented, and done away with the search button which I've barely used 2wice ever, is sure to make it a better experience.
But I do think it's a bit premature to say that Development is dead for the Infuse. The 3 main ROM's are still being tweaked and fine tuned, voodoo sound and lag fix has been implemented, and some sort of stop-gap functional hulu is also working for some who've tried. All this for a phone that's barely a Month and a half old. Not bad I'd say.

Yeah, I guess I'm just comparing the experience to my last phone, the HTC Inspire 4G, which was a massive developer project right at release. I remember having 10 roms to chose from, half being gingerbread, a week after release, hehe.

whoa whoa.. cool your jets turbo! nobody attacked you. and where do you get off saying i attack every response? all i've done was defend myself in this thread. and i think i speak for most people who grow tired of seeing the same questions asked in multiple threads.. this is old news. your question has been asked many times already. my initial response was not meant to be offensive, but had you taken my advice you would've found your answer.

not to many simple features that we dont have already, other features may take a lot more development. you can make requests if you can think of some. i have been able to run the same rom for weeks without the obsessive need to flash the next new thing. i havent had that since andromeda on the captivate and that ended with the release of 2.3.3 i9000 based roms.
if we could get a kernel like glitterballs had on the captivate that used gpu hardware acceleration on the home screen and in all apps that would be cool but he never posted sources and it seemed to have issues with errors on ext4 but worked great if converted to jfs. i had my phone underclocked with that kernel and the battery lasted for days!. it also had unmatched boot up times.

I'm sure Bradbusa only said that because, from posts, devs are holding off because it would be pointless to develop these roms at this point. Devs have said in a few threads that they'd hate to work on too much, just for them to have to re-do everything for gingerbread.
Bradbusa could have offered a bit more, but I can say my first thought was to type what he said when I first saw the thread. Glad he stepped in that landmine and I didn't.

Autobots roll out

They're just waiting on the official GB release to hit so they can smack it up, flip it, rub it downnnnn oh noooooooo...
Patience young grasshopper.

Maybe I'm just too new to Android - but the Infused ROM is a fine piece of work that leaves you wondering, where to next? Others are probably right in that Gingerbread is the next step - a step much easier if we just wait for a leak or the Rogers phone.
I'm just hoping our devs stick around that long It seems like Android users upgrade phones pretty quickly...

Our devs will stick around. Everyone just needs to stop asking for ETA's and posting threads just like this one. Learn to chill out and wait OR learn to code and help the development process.
Have a happy 4th!

(Q) jellybean roms? ?

hey guys do you know where I can find some jellybean roms? I checked dev forum and all I can find is gb and ics roms why is the development going so slow here?? can you please give me link to other forums that have it already?
I've had ics for too long now and it's getting pretty boring and I heard there's supposed to be way better features in jellybean like wifi charging and hologram projection capabilities and stuff so I'm kind of tired of the delay and just being stuck with this crappy old technology in ics. I heard they already got it out for the vivid with cm10 too so it's pretty lame that we don't even have it yet even though our phones were released at the same time.
I don't get why Android has to be do fragmented I think it's going downhill as an os. Thinking about just giving up and getting an iPhone so I can actually get updates without waiting forever...
anyway someone should post link asap so I don't have to keep refreshing dev forum all day! I will even be sure to hit thanks button if you post it fast enough so hurry
