ota is coming today on nexus so hope that we can port it (until source comes)
Thanks for effort Adam.
But this is the same ugly froyo UI if you ask me..Cant wait for Sense Gingerbread roms!
Have they mentioned when the source code will become available?
Thanks . Can't wait
In the coming weeks
When do you think we can expect to see a 2.3 oxygen rom?

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.

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.

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.

You are right, but still it looks to me there is much less effort ( and more sense ) than working on a Cupcake or Donut roms ... will try Google maps during weekend and update ...

You do realize that the HTC Legend runs HTC Sense? We already have a great theme for that. It's called HTC Sense and it comes with every HTC Hero out there.

yes iknow that but i would like to have the ui in settnings and like friendstream
watch video "Hands-on with the HTC Legend and the aluminum unibody" on youtube
Any 2.1 rom should have that menu and the friendstream is an app when someone gets hold of the .apk for it then that should be possible as well.
thanks for the infO

We won't be able to theme something like FriendStream, but like mentioned above, there will be an APK for it.
Within minutes of the Legend being released we will have a system dump. It won't be long.
I am also waiting a lot for the dev's to get the ROm of the HTC Desire and Legend and adapt it for Hero!
I am so excited to get all these new features ( i don't care about the stupid pinch to see desktops, but the copy-paste , Bluetooth audio on 2.1 ROM, the new contact widgets, etc..)
Villain is really nice but still buggy and i am sure it will get really better when he will get the Legend/Bravo sources!
im hoping its soon its a really nice UI !!
I'm looking forward to this as well. Does villain have good 3d gaming? i havent tried his yet because of this.

You do know we can already copy and paste don't you? Bluetooth audio works on some 2.1 roms already and so does the new contact widget and even pinch zoom on desktop. Currently the only real thing we are missing is the friend stream.

No it does have problems with this but that's more due to the files we have available than how he has made the rom, we need a more complete htc 2.1 rom before this will work properly

He won't get the Legend/Bravo sources! Android 2.1 is already available AOSP, and the HTC stuff is closed source.
To be honest, I rather expect the Hero update to be pretty much everything that will be on the Legend, so the real issue here is which will come first - the Legend or the Hero 2.1 update?

Dave

He probably meant that the copy and paste feature have been much improved since 1.5, if you watch the presentation of the new HTC phones.
In about a month, we're getting the same Sense update..
For the who wants to know:
The new ROM is already compiled for the Nexus one and works 99%.
I really hope that once it's OK for the N1, we will get it for the Hero!

This doesn't make any since because you want a 2.1 sense ROM that will also be given to the Hero?
The work making a rom based off of the Legend is pointless since it would be the same thing your getting.

Exactly, people don't seem to be understanding this point.
Also about 80-85% of the features are also available on custom roms (albeit maybe a little buggy until we get the real thing)
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.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
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!

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.

No not yet, will have to wait when there are more interest and devs on it, however the CM12 one is really good i reckon, better that swift key so far nice and speedy.

I agree, I do like the one that comes with CM 12. My main gripe with it though is that it doesn't support a layout that has the special characters of my language included. I'll just hope someone smarter than me will get interested in porting it soon
