can someone please help me to understand the difference between Gingerbread 2.3 and 2.4? Is this just an evolution? What major differences are there?
Some minor differences, but you need to be on 2.3.4 to use the google talk with video.

Are you talking about 2.4 or 2.3.4? 2.4 hasn't been released/named yet officially. 2.3.4 brings Google Talk w/ video and a few bug fixes.
actually i believe they named the next ice cream sandwich at google i/o and it will " bring phones and tablets together".

so what do you guys think about google announcing the next version of android is 2.3 not 3.0, we all know that with version 3.0 (now honeycomb) will come with all the new ui changes, but what do you think will be included in 2.3?
gpu acceleration for the UI would be a serious performance boost - at least as far as 'feel' goes.
beyond that, bug fixes
I didn't think that Google had officially matched dev names to release numbers yet?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
to the same or lesser degree that 2.2 had on 2.1 users?
When did they announce that? And wasn't Eclair both 2.0 and 2.1?
ive read it still could be either 3.0 or 2.3 they havent really decided yet
Gingerbread is the update with the new UI. And there is nothing confirmed that Gingerbread is 2.3, just one message from some Google guy that includes '2.3' in it but not the word 'gingerbread'.
2.0 and 2.1 were both Eclair. Maybe 2.3 is still some froyo update?
Btw for the people that dont know, google has put the big Gingerbread statue in their HQ. It's close now.

sorry i should of rephrased my op better, it not official but has been leaked by numerious sources inside google and also in a faq for the webm video format the "gingerbread os version 2.3 will arrive 4Q 2010 We all knew that google was going to seperate android into 2 branches, the 2.x series for low to mid end devices, and the 3.x series for high end devices.. so maybe 2.3 and 3.0 will both be called gingerbread,

I think so too.After all maybe that's the only way they can preserve their "superiority" to both ranges,low/mid-end and high-end.Cheaper devices will be able to have the latest software while preserving a good functionality and high-end devices will be albe to show their true potential.
That's my opinion only though...
Who cares? The features matter, not the version number.
If 2.3 brings a GPU accelerated UI, that will be awesome! I also think it could have the new media player that they've shown during the Froyo announcement.
Who cares if the name is 3.0 or 2.3. We all know that we'll get 90% better performance anyway.

The last I heard, GPU power was the prime reason it wasn't done so priorly. So I'm very skeptical. If it is implemented, they may enable it only with specific tasks where it has greater power efficiency than currently.

- HTC Desire via XDA App -
now that there's a 2.3 build with sense for HTC Sense leaked out there, i wonder if it's possible to port it to our devices?
Dump source:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11379272#post11379272
was hoping port a port too.. maybe it would take up to 2 months to go for an official update.. a ported version would suffice
Actually it should be possible, but since the DHD has the Adreno GPU it could result in the same little issues CM7 has. Some 3D Apps do have trouble and performance isnt really the best for everyone (different results from user to user). There are no official Gingerbread drivers out for the Adreno Chip.
But, considering how well CM7 already runs on the DHD, it should be no problem after all.
Lets just hope some talented devs can look into it and get a stable build together until the official stuff gets released by HTC.
i will get working on a port straight away

It's probably Sense 2.1, the one on new HTC devices they have announced at MWC2011. It has more function and let's hope for better performance

Great, man, and if you fel like you want another beta-tester, just count me in!
If needed, I could have access to a HardSPL-ed HD2 as well, just ask...

Gingerbread has smoother scrolling & transition effects, thats the only thing I have noticed.
Hope the fonts are small like the regular desire hd roms & not gigantic.

Hi,
will Android Gingerbread 2.3.4 run on HTC Desire ? The background of this question is the new discovered dataleak in 99 % of all android based smartphones.
http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/99.7_of_android_devices_vulnerable_to_data_leak/
can we expect a 2.3.4 Gingerbread Rom or ist it not possible to port it to the HTC Desire ?
Gegards,
Frank
I think there are some custom ROMS based on 2.3.4 - mainly AOSP ones at the moment I think already.
I'd like to hope that when the official HTC Desire GB rom comes down it will be running the latest 2.3.4 rather than the current TEST ROM that was leaked of 2.3.3 - but also I'd like to hope it has a slightly updated Sense UI too - but only time will tell...

Will everyone stop worrying about this!!!
You're only at risk if you use unsecured Wi-Fi hotspots. 3G is fine as are personal/work Wi-Fi so unless you're just dumb you won't be in any risk
My Desire runs fine with Cyanogen Mod 7 NB #77 which is Gingerbread 2.3.4 and there is no problem.
this thread is useless. there are already 2.3.4 roms out for the desire and hes linking to an article from a website that pretty much smears anything not apple.
The BBC have also covered the story but, again, it's just there to scare people
MIUI ROM is GB 2.3.4, for example:
MIUIXJ
Running it without probs, only FM Radio app is not there, but it will be fixed by original devs from miui China.
adamg's oxygen rom is also gingerbread 2.3.4

HTC are scared? no idea. HTC don't seem to release any news until last minute really.
All they have said so far is that there will be a Gingerbread update.

Will we see some good improvements in ICS before Jelly Bean?
Is there any announcements on ICS 4.1, 4.2 or something similar?
What needs improving in your mind?
If you're looking for fun new features...look into the rom scene.
And who knows what numerical version will be assigned to Jelly Bean...but it might be 4.1 itself.
Eclair 2.1
Froyo 2.2
Gingerbread 2.3
Only until we hit honeycomb (tablet only) did they increase full version #'s. (3.0)
And then back to tablet/phone integration at 4.0.

Exactly! I don't know why everyone is saying 5, ICS was only different because it unified the phone and tablet versions.
yes ICS is dead because the world is ending in Dec amirite?

Exactly. Too many people are confused about what jellybean actually is. Jellybean=improved ICS. It is just a version number...forget the cute little names! It is not going to be some major groundbreaking software update...the UI probably won't even change much! Think...froyo to gingerbread.
My ICS melted on a hot spring day when I left it in my car.
How is ICS dead it's only 6 months old? Yes, recent announcements schedule new Nexus devices and Jelly Bean in November but, ICS was made to unify the phone and tablet software where Jelly Bean will build on that. ICS is without a doubt the best release yet and is still gaining steam as more and more phones are getting updated. I'm not expecting Jelly Bean to be as big of a change as Gingerbread to ICS was but, I could be wrong.
Whats the point of this thread anyway?
Can someone please help me with making a compatible Android 2.3.5 that would support connecting to a Bluetooth mouse/keyboard? If not could someone at least give me directions on how to do so?

I think only honeycomb and ice cream sandwich support usb devices, from what I remember.

Yep I tried that on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 which is running honeycomb and it works but it looked like it's not working on stock sense for the wfs
