I don't think TMO is ever going to bring anything past 1.6 to the G1... why not just root and load this ROM?]]>Apr 29th 2010 1:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/Apr 29th 2010 12:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/
Well they have figured out the cause of bricks... but you still need to be careful. Something about getting stuck in a failing boot mode when flashing certain files from recovery mode. Said to use fastboot to flash files to prevent problems. Still need to be careful though.]]>Apr 29th 2010 2:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/Apr 29th 2010 12:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/The problem is that HTC and Google make these sweet updates, and carriers like TM like to sit on their ass before implementing the updates. This is of course after the features are crippled to the point of halving their usefulness. ]]>Apr 29th 2010 12:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/
Dude talks about how "smooth" it is...um...it's like glitchy and sluggish as hell...anyone ever seen an iPhone before?

I don't care much for the iPhone OS, but I've only just seen the new HTC's and such acheive similar smooth UI as an iPhone...

Just sayin', is it my eyes, or is it not-so-smooth?

Apple really worked to optimize the iphone's software for their hardware. The original iPhone wasn't even close to the fluidity that the 3GS has today. Likewise, earlier versions of Android are no where near as smooth as they are now. My Hero used to be pretty slow on the regular 1.5 Sense but once I rooted to one of the 2.1 roms, it's suddenly lightning fast. There've been many reports of 2.1 fixing a lot of the choppiness and lag that came with the earlier versions.

And of course, as a result newer phones with bigger processors (N1, Incredible, Desire, EVO) are all reportedly running extremely smoothly. People seem to forget the iPhone experience was not always as smooth as it is today. That's the progression of tech. We have to give something time to mature and get the kinks worked out. Apple just started earlier and ended up getting their software optimized earlier.]]>Apr 29th 2010 1:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/Apr 29th 2010 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/Apr 29th 2010 1:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/Apr 29th 2010 8:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/
Tried what? Jailbreaking an iPhone? You're an idiot. Frankly I doubt you're capable of JB an iPhone since you're lying about the results (and it's rediculously easy to JB an iPhone, so take that as an insult). Like any hardware, the more software you have running, the more juice it's gonna need to keep up. For those of us who've been with the iPhone since day one, meaning you've had each iteration, you know as well as I that once you go 3GS, you can't go back. I hate even trying to use older 3G/2G iPhones now. My expectations are higher now and the older harder just can't keep up.]]>Apr 30th 2010 1:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/Apr 29th 2010 12:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/Apr 29th 2010 12:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/Many of the new features are rather graphics intensive. So it may have been a reason that they held off on the G1 (which doesn't have quite the calculating power as some of the new models. Why they let the MyTouch have it, which has the same processing as the G1, is beyond me.

I have heard that these mods take more advantage of the processor so perhaps Cyanogen fixed the issues of the feature being so costly.]]>Apr 29th 2010 12:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/Apr 29th 2010 12:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/
First 2 Android phones really lack the RAM new ones have. And the G1 has limited ROM space.

At this point, I think Google is going to stop supporting the G1 as soon as it can, simply because it's probably holding back a lot of development. Just because the platform is open doesn't mean a company wants to support a product forever (for free more or less).]]>Apr 29th 2010 12:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/The G1 is a special case. Like Jeff says, both have RAM constraints and the G1 has severe ROM constraints. If it weren't for this issue, I'm sure T-mobile/Google would have released an update by now. However there is still a chance they might get Froyo as the last update if Google is able to do some optimizations by then.]]>Apr 29th 2010 1:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/
or wait for t-Mobile to get on with it?

I assume since you asked this question you haven't ever rooted your phone. But the last time I checked, cyanogen doesn't support MT3G 1.2 (with the headphone jack) I don't think he's ever had one so he doesn't really invest too much time into it. Check out the cyanogen wiki, to double check.

So, to sum up, sorry but I think your out of luck.]]>Apr 29th 2010 12:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/Apr 29th 2010 1:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/Apr 29th 2010 9:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/Apr 29th 2010 6:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/Apr 29th 2010 12:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/And yeah, I am wearing a pink hat.]]>Apr 29th 2010 12:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/Apr 29th 2010 12:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/

The companies risk liability (and a bad hit to their reputation) if they cause any problems with customers hardware or data. Cyanogen (bless him), just says "Use this at your own risk, I take no responsibility whatever happens".

@RE4SON
Yes, jailbroken iPhones are much better than stock iPhones, I completely agree with you. But I just think the way google handles upgrading their phones is pathetic. Allowing carriers to decide which phone gets an upgrade? Are you serious? That's just ridiculous and bad for the consumer. Someone with a Droid in America will get an update, but in Canada they are held behind for months before they get the official support. It's just bad for the consumer. ]]>Apr 29th 2010 1:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/Apr 29th 2010 1:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/Apr 29th 2010 1:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/29/cyanogen-ports-android-2-1-to-g1-and-mytouch-3g/Regardless, the OS upgrade was not denied to users of an iPhone on any carrier.

And regarding you using "homo" as an insult, you seriously think you did nothing wrong there?
