How come no one discuss about gingerbread?

http://phandroid.com/2010/10/21/gingerbrea...xclusive-video/ leak out screen off animation is out! Could this be Gingerbread ?

http://androidandme.com/2010/10/news/ginge...of-android-2-3/

Google has officially put up a Gingerbread statue, so the official announcement of it cant be too far away. But Android 2.3?? Then it probably wont be the UI overhaul the rumours had been flying...

when gonna happen?
Well some phones still havent get froyo yet.

Agree, since that is not all the handset get froyo, i will sold my wildfire if gingerbread, honeycomb, icecream did't support on wildfire

I'm anticipating Blindtype will be the new keyboard in Gingerbread.

http://www.blindtype.com/

I've been informed by some book author that his Gingerbread book will be out in 3-4 weeks time, implying that the SDK will be released shortly before that. Google should put up the SDK after the initial update release (like it was with FroYo), so we might see Gingerbread in a week or so. Some N1 users are already re-flashing their sets to stock FroYo in anticipation of the Gingerbread OTA (I'm sticking with MIUI however ).

i just hope gingerbread can support more higher resolution so that we can get higher resolution phone

What I hope from Gingerbread is a streamlined UI. As streamlined as iOS. And please new icon set; definitely not those Sense icons. They are horribly horrendous. That's my only expectation from Gingerbread.

i like iphone icons but not the OS. WM and Android's icons always make me sick. = =

how bout this for gingerbread news

umm... stargazer_7 pointed that out in his post up there.

hahaa didnt click his link, i thought it was different, cause of the initial web, sorry

the good thing is u can always change the icon

indeed ya. hated the lock down iOS.

but during my time in WM. the icon really wow-ED me T.T
in android, it's better, at least compare with WM. even in wm6.5, some icons still remain the ugliness of it. T.T

haha we can change those icons can't we? on the screen only off course. using those file organizers . I change all my icons on home screen to my taste. but in app drawer remains the same

so gingerbread aint android 3.0 anymore ? but my wildfire still haven get froyo update

Added on October 24, 2010, 12:57 pmoh yeah gingerbread have some requirements. most probably wildfire cant get it

can anybody please explain 2 me wat d heck is Gingerbread ?

An updated version of Android, which is currently in 2.2. Google names the Android OS according to names of desserts. Before Froyo (frozen yogurt), it was Eclair.

A type of pastry shaped like a humanoid of course.

Gingerbread should be Android 2.3................

dream on. wildfire will or probably will not get any updates. HTC only provide updates for higher range model. Cheap model no updates.

htc knight?

DESIRE?

ok ok..thanks...its upcoming version for 2.3 la?

Not sure 2.3 or not, coz it's actually major update..i heard Gingerbread need at least 1.5 Ghz ? So far only see 1Ghz for latest model, HTC Desire HD/Z

The OS number/version is not important. What important is the changes. Minor change or total OS revamp.

Anyway, N1 will get the first taste of any new OS as usual. Hurray!!

got source?

it is said that nexus one users are preparing for upgrading, so i think the 1.5ghz requirement isnt legit..
google oso said it wont restrict the hardware~

really wanna see how would gingerbread be! Froyo was already awesome, imagine a better Gingerbread..

from what i read and remember, minimum requirement is at least 1Ghz or 512MB of ram
so yeah,google will restrict the hardware to get more support and make it easier to dev

source is everywhere from google search

the news about the minimum requirement 1GHz is android 3.0
this is android 2.3, thats different thing

no1 knows whether gingerbread is what version YET...
it's just rumor..it can be 2.3,2.5 or even 3.0

here 1 of the rumor long few months ago:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/android...-living-on-for/

take it as a pinch of salt...

u can google it for more

Added on October 24, 2010, 10:21 pmand here another 1(android developer) who claimed it will be 2.3(major release)

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=8804#c36

just wait for more news

This post has been edited by hihihehe: Oct 24 2010, 10:21 PM

oh crap. .
gotta think bout upgrading..magic user here..

can't wait also for gingerbread, but i think the UI will be the same, they will not redesigned the whole UI just put more features on gingerbread, i feel bored already with this black UI.

Android version goes with dessert names in alphabetical order . Cupcake->Donut->Eclair->Froyo(Latest)->Gingerbread (Upcoming)-> Honeycomb -> Ice Cream

when its coming out ? any idea?

Maybe in November or December, no official news that is we all wait for gingerbread.

haizz.. Dell Streak just gonna get 2.2 treatment in 'several weeks'... now ppl will be wanting for Gingerbread

please don't speculate without reason~ HTC officials already announced that Froyo will be released for WF as well~ I was physically there when they announced it~

the answer is given by our friend in the quote below ->

lets c....

no need to argue with vexus bro...he's always like that...

looks like a bad news for me wonder WF will get htcsense.com support or not

especially those are using SE X10 series. android 2.1 oso not yet , dun mention 2.2 froyo.

haha

nexus one got ginger bread leak already if not mistaken?

where u saw?

It was announced a while ago only Desire HD and Z has htcsense.com ...
Chances for WF to support htcsense.com is slim

...and here we go again. another round of confusion. soon, we'll have phones still running 1.6, 2.1, 2,2 and now 2.3/3.0

dis will be additional nightmare on developers and hardware manufacturers.
as if things are not bad enuff ady, win7 fone does pawn android.

can htc devote themselves to both android and winmob7 at de same time?
which platform will htc sense team focus on when they write their software?
a more controlled and profitable winmob7?
or a confused headless android?

Yo bro why the f*** you care so much if the new version of Android confuses developers/manufacturers or not? You ain't a developer nor a manufacturer.

I for one as a user don't give a rat d*** if the new version confuses them or not. Do what ever they want to do, and do their best to keep me hooked. Else, I'll jump ship. As easy as that.

I hooked (read: purchased Hero) the 1st time because the Sense UI and its physical design. Then I was liberated from it by vanilla UI and but hooked again by those constant improvement to CM.

For the time being I won't jump ship because I'm more than happy to stay here. Jump to another Android phone? Yes but not now.

Hi there kentang. Welcome back from your ban-cation.

So which part of compiling android program confuses you? You cannot setup different AVDs for different platforms? you didnt download the correct target revision? You hate ANT and rather do the compiling and linking manually? What? Come on, tell me. I want to know which area confuses an esteemed Android developer as yourself. Seems that even HTC execs are complaining their woes to you. Did you advise them accordingly?

urm unless you are an android dev ... please dont assume on their behalf

As a part-time Android developer, it's not a big deal. We generally develop for 2 groups - 1.5 and everything else (1.6-2.2). The reason is that only in 1.6 that support for different screen sizes and resolutions was introduced. Otherwise 99% of the code remains the same, we just have to tweak some settings to support different screen sizes.


Are you serious? Windows 7 has No multi-tasking, copy-and-paste, BlueTooth, file manager, SDCard support. How does it "pawn" Android?


HTC already said they're splitting their concentrate 50-50 on Windows 7 and Android. They've already introduced lots of Windows 7 and Android phones.

chill...

he must be a dupe, kentang again

lol bb.supplements, i see the way u posted in this thread kinda annoying, r u just gaining post number or really discussing in this thread?

btw, it's too fast to release gingerbread in next few weeks as not all model with Froyo yet and gingerbread coming soon @_@..so the version is upgradeable ? from 2.1 > 2.2 > 2.3 (probably)?

I agree. Everybody, please don't post anything less than a full coherent sentence.

Anyway HTC is not famous for punctual updates.
- I remember the HTC Hero took half a year for the 2.1 Eclair update. And they have no plans for a Froyo.
- Legend's been out for a while too, and HTC did say they were going to release Froyo for Legend, but they still haven't and I bet they won't release Gingerbread for it.

The only HTC phone that gets punctual updates is the Nexus One, and that's only because Google's making it the official developer's phone.

excuse me bro..y would i waste my time if im not discussing..im actually newbie so tats y i got not much to comment..im actually gaining alot by discusiing wif other forumer coz planning 2 get dhd...


by d way theres tis new comparision
bb pearl vs dhd

"god dam it! I hate it when my favorite OS Android get improvement and add additional features!"

And how does this relate to Gingerbread?
Since you admitted you're a newbie, if you have anything related to Desire HD to share, do so in the Desire HD thread. This is a Gingerbread thread. Please confine the discussion to the said topic.

kk

yeah, if only google does it properly, it'd be good for everybody. maybe they need the vision and leadership of steve jobs to guide them thru.
google may be the search engine and internet king but in mobile, they suck.
not evrybody can revolution different products de way apple did it.

coming back to the topic, for all their corporate talk, i've got a feeling htc will do what makes sense to them, abandon the confused android market and change to the more streamlined and controlled windows 7 ecosystem.

woohoo..all hail the holy steve jobs!!!

he may be the greatest tech visionary of our time but do not make de mistake of worshipping as a deity.
its blastfermi!

Seriously, kentang. If you're gonna make a dupe, please have that effort to at least change your posting style. Using 'de' as the cool substitute for 'the' is a dead giveaway.

If we let Steve Jobs guide Android, we'll all have to sync with iTunes, there'll be no BlueTooth file transfers and no Flash or Java.

this is an obvious troll.

to me, he is the adolf hitler of tech world. visionary my a$$. only sheeps like you buy into his crap.

and the list goes on and on and on ...

look here guys..its running by android 3.0
android 3.0
