It is quite a big deal, because this is the source code which means we can get better roms with less bugs on our desires.

I don't think anyone's giving prizes for the first post. I am glad that this was posted here also because I don't always hover around android 2.2 thread but mostly on desire thread.

Can anyone shed some light... does this mean that Froyo is final, and can we owners of Desire flash it on our devices (ok, no sense, I can live without it for a while)?

I would like this too I'm not bothered about sense. Is someone gonna try making a Rom?

Dopey features, there is a massive 2.2 thread in the DESIRE section. Look above this!

HTC releases Desire Gingerbread kernel source code

http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
Good news for anyone involved with tinkering around with software for the venerable HTC Desire. In accordance with open source rules, HTC has just released the kernel source code for the device's Gingerbread update, which was offered as an optional RUU for GSM Desires back in August. The move follows the release of a slew of other source code for more recent devices over the weekend, and should help out anyone involved with the lively Desire custom ROM scene.

Wohoo! How good is this?

haven't we had this for months?

I was thinking the same why hasn't any one made a post about it and I thought it would be in General section.
Aren't our devs already aware that gingerbread kernel for desire has been released sometime in Mid October along with few other kernels.

some people on this forum are to ignorant for their own good, jeez.

This is beyond crazy.

And people wonder what drives actual developers away from the android development forum. This thread would have disappeared long ago if no one felt the need to answer something funny to the OP.

Blah Blah Blah

i'm afraid androidcentral was the culprit for this though...

Ask Verizon Wireless why no JB update

I would like everyone who is interested in seeing an official build of Jellybean for the GNex sooner rather than later to ask them what the hold-up is on all of their social media. If we can pressure them nicely using a public forum, then we might see it before 2013. Just a thought.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but posting on VZW's Facebook page isn't going to make their engineers test an OTA any faster.

On one hand it can't hurt, on the other it never seems to help either. I would advise to get on a custom ROM if you can't wait. That said, I have contacted them on all 3 social media sites already.
Edit: If you post on fb, you may get a reply like this..
I would like to see Jelly Bean on my Nexus as well! We do not have a date at this time for Jelly Bean, but once available, we'll announce it here & you'll see details on vzw.com/support. ^MSF

Or maybe they aren't even testing a "OTA ROM" to even begin with. A company should have better communication to their customers with upcoming updates.

As a Verizon customer and been with them for years, I come to expect this.
and as a Nexus user, I don't care when Verizon releases it because there's plenty of custom ROMs for me.
I did say it would be probably September at the earliest before the Toro gets JB officially.

Well, I just installed Vicious 4.1.1 v1, and I no longer care. Best choice I've made all day Carry on!

What about:
Would be nice to have radios and bootloader for Jellybean because I am tired of weaker-than-ICS signal?

^THIS^
The Verizon rep I just spoke to claims they have NOTHING to do with the update, that they come directly from Samsung and VZW doesn't touch it, test it, nothing. I don't believe that.

@adrynalyne can't wait to see what you can do with the Nexus 7.
Also, all I want is the jellybean radios. Sure jellybean would be nice, but the toro is aosp now so no need to really worry about that.

It was a half truth.
VZW doesn't 'touch' it. They test it, but never modify it. They send a change/fix request to Google.
Slick bastards and their wordplay.

Definitely not great news. Waiting.

Time to start harassing VZW. Back in the days of the GalaxyS Fascinate, they pushed 2.2 pretty quickly after a day of spamming. Just saw that GNex was their best selling phone in quarter 2 - you think they would provide better support.

Well... I do hate getting disconnected randomly, and needing to reset the phone. I haven't had any issues with Jellybean, but I did just install it.
What radio that is out currently works best?

Dinc 4G LTE Source! R U @#$%'n @#$%'n me?!?!?!?

So yeah... HTC releasing the kernel source for a phone that just came out... and not ours??

This phone is newer and has a longer life cycle.
If they updated our phones first...where would the motivation to upgrade be?
This is how big business works today. Ive studied various engineering cycles in different fields...you would be surprised how often planned obsolescence is used to encourage greater consumption.

That be the truth. I also think they pay close attention to the dev community and have taken note that those with the means, will pay any price to get the latest version of Android, even if that means a new phone at full retail cost..

Don't get me wrong... I'm well aware that controlling demand is their game.. but I mean really, its just silly at this point. The beautiful thing about open source is that its open... let the devs play!

as already stated, verizon.
If this does happen I'll be pleasantly surprised, but considering they've already pushed the official 4.3 update back a month, unless they skip that and go right for 4.4, then we won't get 4.4 in 90 days

They talk a lot. I'll believe it when I see it!

The real thing is source. We need the source. I would have finished with my kernel by now if we had source and I didn't have to port one over.

Jason Mackenzie, President of HTC America, just said on Twitter that the Verizon One will not be skipping 4.3 and go straight to 4.4. So yeah, it'll probably be delayed for us.

dammit - I tweeted to him suggesting they skip it. they probably have the s-off patch in place, and dont want to lose the progress...

Verizon is more like 900 days...uggh!

Yeah, it's a shame that Verizon may cause delays. They already delayed 4.3, who knows how long for 4.4..

not that it matters but this one was up first. they can be merged or this one can be deleted. doesnt matter as long as the info gets out haha

Perhaps the reason 4.3 was delayed was that 4.4 was so close they wanted to focus on that version?
Yeah....I know it is a dream, but dreams are nice
