Maybe i am a little naive but I have only just noticed that not only do Google names their firmware for Android after delicious sounding pastries, BUT they also do it in alphabetical order too!
Untitled initial release - 1.1 (lame/lazy effort by Google!)
Cupcake - 1.5
Donut - 1.6
Eclair - 2.0/2.1
Froyo - 2.2
Gingerbread - 3.0
Honeycomb - 3.1/3.2 ?
Ii was trying to figure out what dessert started with an I and couldnt come up with a good one :/
Ice Cream maybe? xD
If that's the case it probably started with Biscuit and will go to Ice Cream after Honeycomb!

have you only just noticed this back in the days of cupcake and donut we use to have threads deadacted to guessing what pasty google would use next lol
Also ubuntu distributions do this to.

Ice Cream seems too odd in the pattern to me...
all the releases have been a single word - and also Ice Cream is probably too similar to FroYo to come in line... although I can't think of anything else
Also they'll probably change the name anyway if people guess it too early!

That's it ! I meant mostly those apps with really new features
The title of your thread is somewhat misleading, giving that there is no fully functional Donut ROM for the Hero.
I'd guess that some Android 2.0 apps won't use any APIs that were not in Cupcake/Donut, so I'd imagine they would run fine. However, others will rely on features only present in the 2.0 APIs, so these won't run.

Dave

You mean "Eclair apps on Donut" means "there is no fully functional Donut ROM for the Hero" ? I don't follow ....
I'm guessing he ment that hero runs cupcake not donut ;-p which again means your threat is misleading as it says donut in the topic..

Is it really worth the effort? We'll have Eclair from HTC in a couple months. I can use my phone with pure cupcake until then. Just my two cents.

Thanks for effort Adam.
But this is the same ugly froyo UI if you ask me..Cant wait for Sense Gingerbread roms!

Exactly this, it looks horrid!! Google, for all their power, cannot design an attractive UI
Really hope the UI is improved.... doesn't look promising. Can't see any improvements yet.
2.3 is a minor update the major ui update isnt expected untill 3.0
anyway the updates listed in the SDK look very good for the Android platform

Agreed, I've always hated the stock Google UI and somehow (if those screenshots are a true reflection of Gingerbread) they've made it worse!
Well the new keyboard looks good
I personally feel that the Google UI is way better than than the Sense UI. It's much more snappier.
Love the behind the scenes tweaks, but the UI isn't great. Take a page out of iOS for pete's sake.

Release Name: RoyalHoney
Release Version: V.Pre-Alpha
Base Firmware: 3.0
Recovery Required: 3.0.0.6
Wipe Required: Full wipe each flash (unless otherwise stated).
Special instructions: Give 2 minutes+ to boot please.
Video of Rom: RoyalHoney 3.0 YouTube Video
This should be common knowledge by now but if you want to complain about an issue make sure you have a log cat also you should be running a log cat on every first boot. If you dont have ADB set up on your computer follow this very easy guide to set it up. It truly only takes a few minutes.
Guys this is like I said in multiple spots a Pre-Alpha Build. I just decided to finally let you guys try what we are working on. Enjoy. This is by no means a daily driver and be prepared to flash back to your daily driver after a few min. using this Build. But you guys asked, pleaded and begged for it.

me too - i have the one from three versions back - the old (2nd?) market... green thing on the top.
never got the newer one, never got the one after and havent had this one - are they only rolling it out to newer devices (i.e. dual cores?)
I have had the beta version, lets hope this is a bit speedier!
Newer version lags in my Desire
the 2.3.6 version is still the fastest and usable
the feature of the new version are great, but still too slow, too much data downlaoded from the net, too much cpu used..hope they will optime it soon with a new version
Thanks man!
Really laggy for me too. Its like it hangs when trying to update or see installed apps.
I have the version 2.3.6
Running smooth for me am using MIUI RoM Android 2.3.5
I'll wait for it in the new iteration of Oxygen. Last time I installed 3.0.27 from the .apk half of apps on the market were on Italian. Don't know why. But if I turn a blind eye on that, I'm not overly happy with the new market. It is so cluttered compared to 2.3.6.

I'm interested. A dev (sonnysekhon) is working on an ICS theme for cm7, so we could use that as our base.
This is his theme: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310925
Obviously, there are a few bugs with some of the icons at the top, but once those are fixed, it's almost drag and drop for us. (for some things...since it's not tw based, which you already know)

I was going to use the framework from the system dump.
Qbking and I were talking about it last night on gtalk, so I thought I'd start the thread. I can probably get a good base theme built this weekend, but don't want to step on any toes.
BTW I would use EH17 as a base since a GB ota seems imminent at this time.

I've heard sdk ports are wonky. And I could imagine I went looking through the dump and the damn thing is practically empty. It has images so that people can at least at most theme the status bar, but no roaming images or anything else for that matter. So odd.
I have a feeling a more recent leaked build dump will popup soon.

Yes I completely agree, after looking through the framework and SystemUI dump its only partial at best. I was hoping to find some new ringers/ui/notifications but that was empty except for 2 files.
Did anyone notice that they had battery meter pngs in the SystemUI.apk? WTF is that about, and they still remained in the framework too... Strange...
I thought about building a theme on the NS4G but after looking at the missing pieces and stuff I decided to pass until a more complete dump is available.
Did notice many new additional pngs in the framework now to play with that we didn't have before.. Overlays, and different glows to inputs/keys... Misc here and there...
Good luck guys, post a boat load of screenies so we can see what it looks like when you have something to flash
