Froyo

Why can't we have Froyo yet already???? What's the hold up? By the time, we get it... 3.0 will be around the corner...

Yours doesn't have it?

Yep. I have it
Sent from my Evo on on the Now network from Sprint
oh and duck Apple

I'm not talking about hacked custom roms.. I'm talking about offical release from HTC. I want Froyo that is fully function including 4g

you are lucky you didnt own a Hero then. It was outdated they day i got it(two days before launch). it came with 1.5 i believe, 1.6 was already out and 2.0 was announced a few weeks later w/ the DROID. THEN 2.1 one came out and Hero owners were STILL waiting. finally 2.2 was announced and a week or so later they pushed 2.1 to Sprint Heros.
long story short, dont expect it to come out anytime soon with HTC's track record. i would recommend rooting and installing cm6, it runs great sans 4G

I'm confused. I thought cm6 has the known issues for 4g.

"without 4G"
HTC has announced 2.2 will roll out by December. If you want it that bad, i suggest trying out CyanogenMod. I never had 4G coverage around me, but after playing around with it, i would never go back to a Sense-based 2.1 ROM.

Cyanogen's mod, while amazingly awesome, has problems. There are missing features, inconsistencies between what works and what doesnt from user to user, and it's AOSP.
HTC has to make EVERYTHING work for EVERYONE all the while porting over their sense UI. All of their apps and widgets need to work on Froyo. It needs to be stable. This sort of thing realistically can take months to perfect. So don't be butthurt when you don't get it til Christmas.
I personally can't stand Sense... or any other UI put on top of android. But as long as I can root and boot up custom roms, I'm a happy camper.

uhh isn't google suppose to be the one releasing froyo since they are the makers of android os not htc? i thought htc was just the hardware

google only releases it for nexus one
they then release froyo source then hardware makers like htc and motorola use the source along to build their versions with either sense or blur

Now I can see how so many people are confused.
This isn't a simple phone, it is complex and there are many hands in the cookie jar. Please do some research about your phone, and who makes what, and you will realize it is far more complicated than "Froyo is out, how come my phone doesn't have it."

I'm very happy with the Froyo I already have. I see 4G as a totally useless feature due to its extreme battery drainage.

Uhh mayb not everyone has the time to research the whole history/background of their phone as you do...like me i switch phones every 2 months that means i'd be doing more research on my phones history then using the damn thing.

Then thinking you can come into a development forum and post a question that should be common knowledge to anyone tinkering at all in Android is just lazy.
If you switch phones every two months, then what do you care about Froyo, or even learning what your phone can do anyway...
When I make a purchase, I find out what I am buying, if it suits my needs, what limitations it has, what support it has etc. I call that making an "informed" decision.
I don't just walk into the story and buy the pretty one without knowing the above. Or else I would have an iPhone and wouldn't care about what I can do with it.
This was a lazy question posted by someone that hasn't done any reading about their phone or they would see what has to be done to get an Official Froyo build.

basically,
Froyo (aka: Android 2.2) has been released by it's maker. it's maker is Google. HTC gets licensing to install the OS on it's phones. now, when HTC first started working with Android...android was..well...it was lacking...it was lacking a fair bit. so the HTC devs put some 'Sense' onto android to make it something that the nerds can bring to their corporate executives. (cause if we nerds can't sell the boss on how cool this is...then i don't get to play it.) meanwhile, Google is trying to turn Android into a serious market contender. and its going up against some very mature code. this has a side effect of causing Google to release v1.5, v1.6, v2.1 and v2.2 rather close to each other. this is not a sustainable pace of release...it will piss everyone off. thankfully Froyo supposedly will be able to bridge us over until v3.0. at which point google has said they will proceed with a much slower version relase of Android.
Sense is not needed like it used to be. however, it'll prolly be around for a while. htc has said they will release froyo onto the evo but that is not a priority for them...the evo is yesterdays product so its more important getting the upcoming devices ready for market. perhaps the HTC/Sprint sanctioned Android 2.2 will be released by the end of the 4th quarter (or so they say).
on the good note...CM6 is rather nice. even without having 4G running yet. but really, how often do need to turn on the 4G radio? and they will get it working before long.
i must also agree w/ Bielinsk on this one....

This may be a little off topic, but if I root my EVO what ROM should I use if I want Froyo and Sense?

Check out Avalaunchmods Froyo ROM with Sense. He released an RC for it today and hopes to have a couple of little issues fixed tonight. He has a Sense and no-Sense ROM available. He's put a lot of work into them and i'll be checking out the Sense ROM for sure tonight. Probably bounce back and forth between the CM6 that i'm using now and Ava's Sense ROM.

I respect your desire for Sense, however, I see no Sense in it.

maybe because all the phones i buy are android os...and you really have way too much time on you're hand to flame someone over such a little thing...all i asked was "isn't froyo suppose to be released by google and not htc" if you don't wana answer it then leave it alone...noone wants to hear your history crap...Noone wants to know how you read every nutrient fact before buying milk or read every little thing that's on the charging adapter...maybe you have time all the time in the world to do that and all the power to you but not everyone is like...we actually have a life and don't learn the history of every little thing we purchase...and fyi forums are made to ask questions and to inform each other...so if you don't like someones question instead of flaming simply don't read it and move on.

[REQ] New Forum and Wiki for HTC Merge

Hi admins,
Ive been using the HTC Merge for over a month now, and the phone was released in the states a week or two ago. A bunch of us merge users have been hanging around in other device threads or general threads trying to make some noise and get this thing rooted. However, a separate forum and wiki entry would help to get things organized.
PS: Any devs interested in helping us get cyanogen working on this? Its quite similar to the G2/Desire Z/HTC EVO shift. A custom bootloader+recovery is all we need.

+1
My wife got an Alltel HTC Merge the day before they were to be released. It's a great phone; just needs some love from XDA.

Forum for HTC Merge
Agreed--please create a dedicated forum for this device. It has been available with Alltel for a month now, and it will soon be released on other CDMA carriers. Since it's GSM-capable too, there's much interest in it in other parts of the world, too. And Alltel's selling it SIM-unlocked!

True, i have a US Cellular merge, and its sim unlocked too. So this phone could be big on the account of being a world phone. And yet it has no presence on the internet other than rumor posts from last year on tech blogs and the likes.

bring it on! we need perm root, roms, and kernels! Its on the verizon site now so hopefully it will be much more widespread very soon.

Get my HTC Merge/Lexikion this week in United Kingdom, London
DEVELOPMENT INSIGHT: Read post 8 & post 23 below link - "steviewevie" seems to be a Admin/moderator the the HTC Vision [Desire Z & G2].
The Merge ADR6325 falls under the Vision list apparently.

FYI, Stevie is not an Admin nor is he the mod of G2/DZ - that would be me. The Merge for the two devices was not only because they were in the Vision family, but rather because the shared the same specs and development is almost identical for both.
As far as the Wiki, Users are allowed to add into it, so why don't you try your luck at creating an entry?

We will only be adding devices if we see that they are necessary on the forum and either if a few thousand people want the device or there is existing development for it.

This is very much needed. I check this site all of the time looking to see if there are any Merge news about root and dev being done. I think now that Verizon is releasing the merge that there will be a big community. Hopefully some people that know more about developing than I do will work with the Merge. I have had mine over a month now and it is the best phone I have ever had.

Guys I Have an ALLTEL Merge.
And the GPS is not working whatsoever.
Please see my post and someone independent confirming my experience....
http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/126/p/11563/49119.aspx#49119
Anyone else with ALLTEL experiencing this flaw?
What a load of crap!
From what I can see, this ALLTEL rom is only bespoke in the form that it has a few ALLTEL wallpapers and a bootscreen animation - other then that its all HTC Sence STOCK - so how the fuNk did they mash the GPS.
Very annoyed

GPS works on my Alltel Merge

GPS works on my Alltel Merge with only the GPS on and the wireless location service turned off.
It does, however, take quite a while to get a lock, especially with a cloudy sky.

GPS has never worked on my Alltel Merge. I love the phone but wish GPS worked and wish I could install custom roms.

I have been looking EVERYWHERE for HTC Merge rooting and themes and haven't found a thing. There definitely needs to be a dedicated forum on here.

We definitely do need a forum, and we also need to get these phones onto custom recovery so we can start making and flashing roms. We need these guys. Ive been trying to contact them, but cant find a contact vector, and dont have the time to dig in these days. Anyone else want to try? The more noise we make, the more chances we may have to get this done.

Looking forward to a Merge Thread too.

+1 more for a Merge forum. I just got the US Cellular version yesterday. Switched from WinMo TP2. Haven't found a decent forum yet. Got my fingers crossed.

I also have the USCC Merge...love the phone so far. Would love to see some custom roms and stuff for it!

I, too, am excited to see the HTC Merge rooted!! I have the USCC Merge and really really want to get it rooted so I can run a few specific ROMS. Great phone so far after about a week of having it (upgrade from a Blackberry Curve :0 ). Thanks XDA!

+1 more for merge development, great phone!
got my uscc merge few days ago and i love it! could be alot of potential if someone would just look into it. please please, and thanks!

It's already a great device, but it would be even better rooted. Thanks for your time.

[Q] Suggestion for making HTC Desire CDMA/GSM in seperate threads

Ever since I got this phone when it came out in the US I came on here and all I was seeing was GSM this and that. Now its even harder to find anything.
I used to work on phones with the help with the XDA forums. since last year I haven't found crap..well not much to get anywhere.
Just a suggestion.
I believe HTC Desire in the UK hit number one beating the iPhone so yes this phone is very popular and I really think there should be two threads for GSM Phones only and CDMA Phones only.
I spent hours on here and really didn't come up with anything that would help because by the time i finish reading it says for GSM phones only. URGH!!

I'm working on a CDMA Megathread, because it will hopefully bring in more development to our phones.

Thank you very much. I'm sure others will appreciate it as well.

New fix for US htc Flyer wifi rom going on youtube possibly tommorrow my make.

Ive spent hours these past few days and made my own special make for those who have had a HTC flyer wifi 1.11.0011 or a model not supported by revolutionary and had upgraded to the OTA honeycomb and would had liked to root it. I had finally came up with the root for my android but there was no rom that would work including honey pot, honeyfly, or the honeycomb rom. so i mixed 2 different roms to make the perfect rom that would work. I will make a video tomorrow and post it up on youtube and put a link on this thread i was curious if there was any support on this idea or if i would be wasting my time.
(For wifi only)

[Q] Best Custom Rom

Hello everyone,
I need some help with my phone. I have a Motorola RAZR MAXX (not HD). My carrier is Ntelos which is regional cell company in WV and Va. I have had this phone for about a year and a half. I am able to get a new phone in October. This one is starting to give me some fits so I think it is time to "tweak" it. I have put in a custom ROM before (Cyanogen - couple of years ago on older phone) so I am pretty sure I can handle it. I just need to know which one is best for my phone. I will put some of the phone specs below. Thanks

"Best ROM/Kernel" questions are not allowed (really tolerated) on this forum. If you're lucky someone will politely tell you to try them all & decide for yourself. Typical response trend toward being flamed. So, while you can, run for your phone's development forum & start researching ROMs.
Good luck.

I've been researching for some time. Friend has same phone on nTelos. I will dare to ask here for help. Flame me if that is what happens in this thread...
BTW, I really just want to know if it is possible to flash / root the thing. If I get on that path I shoudl be able to find a suitable ROM.
TIA.

You really found nothing in phone's development forum that answered your question?

It may be the answer is it can't be done on xt908 on nTelos. That is what I saw. So I asked here.
