[Q] Will this support Android 3.0? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I read somewhere earlier, that because the Desire Z is only 800MHz it won't support Android 3.0
However, I've seen people OC it to 1.8GHz, so surely it should support it (at least a port)?
I played with the phone today and I love it. If I can get confirmation on this I'll probably order it tonight

The G2 is as fast or better yet faster then nearly all the current Android phones. So in other words, yes, it will be getting Gingerbread.
Officially who knows when (T-Mobile has to issue the update) but unofficially (XDA Developers) you can expect to see it within days or weeks after the Gingerbread source has been released by Google.
Also, you posted this in the wrong section

i thought gingerbread was 2.3
3.0 is honeycomb

The 1GHz thing was a myth and was debunked a while ago. So yes we will be getting it. (Wrong section btw)

He said 3.0, not 2.3
and in response, i couldn't tell ya...

This has been (acidly) discussed before

Repeated thread

I might be wrong but, if you're even on XDA in the first place, why worry about official updates? If it's out there, someone will find a way to make a G2 ROM. (Um, speaking of Android only. I'm not sensing a Motoblur port anytime soon.)

ha,... your right man.
OP,....
If you are asking about 2.3 Gingerbread, then read http://www.unwiredview.com/2010/07/...details-post-some-corrections-clarifications/
.... We will be getting 2.3, officially or unofficially, who knows.
If you did mean 3.0 Honeycomb, then no-one knows as there are zero details to base any speculation on. Fingers crossed though.
EDIT..... Thread reported to be moved.

I can almost guarantee you that we will get both.
XDA and or Open Source Android Developers {whatever you call your self sry } here and there, do not take NO for an answer.
Look at the G1, its gotten just about every rom....official and unofficial.
Even if it isnt snappy (oh that slow ass G1!!!) lol, it WILL make it to the G2.

Thanks for the replies everyone (and sorry about posting in the wrong section, it was between this and the dev section)
I said 3.0, but it must have been 2.3 as there isn't much about 3.0 and yeah I'm fully aware that we WILL definitely get it thanks to the great modders out there, I just didn't want to be stuck with old hardware
Anyway, I read in a link that gtrab posted, the 800MHz 2nd generation Snapdragon is better than the 1GHz first generation, and also has a seperate GPU so should be nothing to worry about, right?

Indeed that is correct. HTC Desire w/ stock 2.2 scores roughly 1100 in benchmarks, stock DZ 2.2 gets 1600 I think.
..... PS... You did post in Dev section, no biggie to get it moved though, just dont do it again!!!!

HTC is working on it. Sense is closed-source, so there's nothing the community can do to port it.
The Nexus One is the only device that has an 'official' release of Froyo, and no device has Froyo and Sense... who is "everybody else"?

Yeah I like the know it all response but he obviously isn't as smart as he thought or hasn't been paying attention. I only opened this thread because I couldn't believe no one else hadn't mention it already. I've been following this for days.
I hear bluetooth does not work and there are graphical glitches.
Is it worth porting now?
I would wait till those 2 are fixed first.
This won't be hard to port to the Dinc. At all. Should be only a matter of time.

Sorry, I hadn't seen the thread that michaelnhf linked. Without it, the original post looked like just another "I wantz teh Froyo 'n Sense, when will that b out?" post, which I'm sure we're all sick of seeing.
I'll Google around before posting next time, since I obviously don't know everything
I'm actually surprised people aren't porting more of the desire roms and themes over. I've been to their forums they've got some quality stuff over there. The desire and inc are basically the same phone.. I'm no dev but sheesh where are the roms?! Like real roms not " I removed sense apps and widgets roms." Koush seems to be busy with other things too I hope things pick up soon.
Yea looks like we might have picked the wrong phone for custom roms and such haha

Mmmhmm...Humble pie.
Love the HTC Incredible but I'm leaning towards absolutely hating the Sense UI, excluding the clock/weather widget.
I cannot find a single mobile data widget that *works* other than the HTC one that ships with the phone. That is the only reason I'm using sense...although I don't 'dislike' it.
I can get FroYo and Sense to boot on my phone, but that is the easy part. None of the touch keys work and it reboot randomly. It also says that I have no signal, but I can browse the web.
I do like the new widgets.
What are the new widgets?
The two widgets that caught my eye was the new Mail widget. It looks more like our current calander widget. There is also a FM radio widget. Of course, there is also that News widget that some people love.

[Q] Ginger villain

I recently rooted my g2 and installed ginger villain 1.5 onto it, now I want to upgrade to 2.0 but cant. Can any1 help me out.
The latest GV build is 1.5. If you're looking for a better and faster CM-based ROM, I recommend PyroMod.
Are you sure 1.5 is the latest, because the thread says its upto 2.1

1.5 is definitely the latest build on the G2, trust me I've been waiting for 2.0 for like a month now. If your looking for the stock gingerbread feel, like GV1.5, Id recommend xboarder56's rom here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991254
its fast, its up-to-date, and its stable.
The post clearly says 2.0 is in the works. And the title of thread is 1.5 and download is for 1.5. They would update thread title to 2.0 if it was ready

Everybody talks about this rom killing batteries(in general not gv in particular) and this rom is great on batteries, in my honest opinion my battery is the same no matter what rom I use.
The best way to answer you own question is to try different roms and see which one you like.
Oh and don't buy that crap about radios helping batteries and don't try and flash a new one unless your current radio is jacked(which it shouldn't be)
Cheers
dont send me pm's crying about how i hurt your feelings in a thread
For now im on xboarders rom, so far it seems good. Gonna give it a run for a couple days and see how things go

Want to remind you..

Hey guys,
As you have probably noticed, the development at the desire has quite "stopped"
Many devs are really "busy" and others have abandoned the desire.
The ONLY working dev is Coolexe or MichaelM.
I personally think it's time to move on to a next device.
What you guys think?
Will there come more desire devs? or will this be the "end"?
Bout kernels: Once they told us, when open source kernel is released, the desire will be muchhhhh better, but I personally think there hasn't change much!
Kernels are still not as they should be, 1 kernel got lockscreen lag or batt drain, others freeze. Know what imsaying?
I'm not saying the devs are that bad, but this is the end to me I think.
Share you'r opinion below!

ooooh 1 whole month ago. Actually I am working on a build now but quality is more important to me than getting out updates every 2 days.
But to say there are only 2 devs working on the desire is completely wrong and I find your posts not only offensive but also inaccurate and counter productive.
Edit> Also forgot to mention Droidzone and Sibere, then all the kernel devs. not all devs build roms.
And Kali- is a dev,. he doesn't just "post builds" if you look at his git hub you can see his commits,.
Worst thread ever!
Well I see it more dimensional:
1. Sense: it seems like really slowed down a bit, but on the other hand Sense 3.5 was available very quickly. Dridzone is also contributing here (piety he resists newer Sense for now).
2. ASOP: CM7 + bunch of other ROMs - well CM is stable, rest is fluctuating (for me it is only CM that seems interesting)
3. MIUI: active
Actually now is the time to wait for ICS sourcecode to enable further milestone. I guess Sense will decrease in popularity with ICS based CM9 released. For me the only thing thet stops me from CM7 as daily are Exchange ActiveSync issues.
Piety that for few days now both Coolexe and michelm_007 remain silent. Anyway DHD seems to be the main driver of HTC community - Desire seems to rather follow, not drive progress (in matter of new sense porting). Tha is basically due to small internal memory that is the main step to consider when porting some new ROMS. The speed issue due to obsolete platform (CPU/GPU) is also stronger here from DHD, so it really is the fade out period for the Sense on Desire. Next Sense will most likely be even more difficult to be run smoothly...
Sense will gain popularity again when Sense 4.0 on top of Android 4.0 D) will be released.
Dont see that running on the trusty Desire though
RootSU,
I didn't want to be rude,
But I think you understand that this desire community isn't how its supposed to be.
You have to agree that the BEST devs abonded, like baadnewz, robocik, leedroid (comes back)
It's not completely dead but its silent here in the rom section.
Hope you understand my point
I understand that the desire is phasing out. I only debate the fact that there are only 2 active devs. I just think you're exaggerating the situation, be that knowingly or otherwise.

isnt it logical that people move on to new devices, including the devs? no point stating the obvious in a thread here... just stick with whats left of the desire community, start developing yourself or abandon ship and go for a newer device... you should at least be thankful for all that has been done for our awesome device so far...
*note* im not bashing you in any way, its just that i think the way you wrote the OP is pointless. you can move on to a Nexus device where the development doesnt stop till the devs faint from working overtime...

This. I even flashed AuraxTSense again for a brief period before changing ship to aosp because of this.
It is only natural that people continue developing elsewhere, depending on where they upgraded. You can't expect them to support old device like you can't expect from HTC. Neither party involved has superhuman abilities, so I can't say anything but great thanks for making Desire more pleasurable to use than it already was.
The thing that concerns me are the reasons both Neophyte and AdamG went. Rapid deterioration of community and quality of information available in the period of last 12 months. Both these great devs went explicitly because of that (one for good and one to his respective forum).

Oh no this all cant be true! I have finally rooted and put my first rom on.....only took me about 18 months. Ah well, a few months time and it will be upgrade time. Still, for me it seems so new.

[Q] Is the DHD Dev threads dying

I've been noticing a lot of ROM's not updating. And recently the ICS port from the RCMix Sensation has been stopped and closed. Is their still hope, or is it time to upgrade to a newer phone.
Not sure what you consider alot, but I.just glanced in the Dev section and quite a few have had updates of within the past two weeks(I counted 10 +). That seems pretty active to me
Plus just because a rom hasn't been updated recently doesn't mean its not being worked on

Not updating doesnt mean that they (devs) are not working anymore, It means that their ROM doesnt have any bugs or problems and is stable and doesnt require any changes.
Thats what most of the ROM devs will say.
Hmmm a question thread that was not posted in the Q&A forum?
Ill move it this time
You'd consider buying a new phone just because (some) threads on a forum aren't experiencing a massive amount of traffic in a holiday period?

Not considered a question because it also what you think.. is it dying or not.

It only dies if people allow it. It has become far to common that people wait for others do it instead of learning to do it themselfs. If you want something cool and new dig in and make something new. That is the point of a development forum to help others learn and share tips. Developers are not special. They just have the drive to make their device theirs.
I had another read of the op, like the ics sense is coming back, I've been working on it and other things, in a way dhd is dying and in a way it isnt if that makes sense, alot of new devices gets released n when that happens everyone usually wants something new and cool, devs want to develop on a newer phone see what it can handle performance wise etc
If I'm still here when sense 4.0 drops then yeah I'll most likely be bringing it to DHD first (as thats the phone I have)
Yea i totally agree with what you are saying zelendel

I don't think we need to worry about getting it for our exact phone, but as long as we have for the incredible S. At least, our dev's will be able to get some of the hardware working completely.
