3.1?

So if 2.2 is Froyo.
And 2.3 is Gingerbread
Then what is 3.1? Is there any device released as of yet that is running it? Because
I read somewhere, there is an app or app(s) that support all Android OS 2.2-3.1.
So if devs are already building apps that support 3.1, there must be a release of it
somewhere right? Or a leak of the code or something. I am just curious.
UPDATE: So now I know it is called Honeycomb, and so far only tablets have been released with it, like the Motorola Xoom.

Android 3.x is strictly a tablet OS. The next Android OS, Ice Cream Sandwich, will unify smartphones and tablets.

Official GB upgrade announced for the Infuse on AT&T

I just read a post on Engadget that said all 2011 Android phones on AT&T will be getting official GB ports in the next several weeks. I know it really doesn't mean much since we'll have the Rogers GB version soon but at least AT&T is standing by its phones and providing official updates...

Good news is, when we flash to stock for whatever reasons, it won't be a gingerbread-froyo-gingerbread transition.

Personally, I wish Google would stop announcing new versions of Android before more devices are updated to the current version. I've been watching the cycle since I started on Android 1.5.
Sent from the Evil Empire

there is no info about it yet, way too early in the game

I wouldn't think of Jelly Bean as something that will be hugely groundbreaking. It will probably be an incremental type of update, like Gingerbread was for Froyo.

Ditto, and I concur. They should wait till its close to ready at least. Maybe 1-3 months early instead of 6-9.

Who cares really...all i care about is having a phone that works 99.9% of the time on an android platform. I have that finally on the lastest OTA.

Actually Froyo (2.2) and Gingerbread (2.3) were incremental updates to Eclair (2.0, 2.1) and I agree Jelly Bean will most likely be a incremental update.

Froyo was not an incremental upgrade to eclair. Froyo brought us flash. Only androids that had anything flash before that was HTC with their own flash light which could do some light flash items. But adobe's flash was introduced with froyo and was a real game changer.
There was also chrome to phone that was introduced with froyo and I believe Google goggles also.
I've been with android for quite a while and haven't looked forward to any upgrade as much as I did froyo.

Android 3.0 even possible on LG G2x?

I'm pretty new to LG G2x, and just wondering if it's even possible to have a ROM based on Android 3 or even 4?

Android 3.0 is only for tablets. So in other words, no. However, several 4.0 ROMs are in the G2x development section such as AOKP and Hellfire Sandwich. Just warning you that they're not as stable as 2.3 ROMs (at least for now.)

3, no. 4, yes and there's already a couple in the dev section.

Next Android 5.0 Jellybean will be for tablets. Android 6.0 Key Lime Pie will be for phones.

Nope.
Jelly bean will be what ics was supposed to do, which was to defragment the os which we know as android and let two become 1. Meaning tablet and smartphone integration, ive read on google that jellybean will support both platforms.

ICS is so beautiful. I can't wait til all sources are released and we can have a stable version! I wonder what JB is going to look and feel like?

Well, I have a G2X with ICS, and an ASUS Transformer running ICS as well, so the "integration" you speak of is happening now. I'm sure there can be refinements, but the OS version is the same; this isn't a feature waiting for the next version, unless I'm just missing what you're trying to say.

I feel like it'll be more like a Froyo -> Gingerbread type change in the looks department.
Rather than a Gingerbread -> Honeycomb type deal.

Omni ROM - hope our g3 gets some builds!

Hi there!
Hope you've read the xda portal post on Omni ROM....if not, just read it...
Many great devs similar to many of our great g3 devs have teamed up to create a new feature-rich, open source ROM.....the source code is available at github.....
I don't know if we'll get some builds of that.......maybe some in the near future or some time later....
We'll wait to see!
What do you think ??

Well, Galaxy Apollo does not have fully-functional device repo anywhere for Android 4.3, so I guess we won't get it.
BUT, did you read the Android 4.4 KitKat stuff? Some say, that it will be available for older devices

If my hunch is correct, android 4.4 on Monday. Then we'll see if older devices get it. :fingers-crossed:

I heard that samsung announced the hole galaxy-line would get the 4.4 update so maybe we could port from those devices
