But... these posts with, I WAS AN ORIGINAL G!1 OWNER AND ITS THE BEST IT STARTED IT ALL.

Who cares? Get a job, save your nickels and get a decent piece of hardware. This isn't a fucking Pentium here. Just upgrade losers.

I saw this article and threw mine down the toilet. This is not Froyo, it is a cut-in-half version of Android 2.2.. it does not feature everything that is in 2.2.. therefore, it is not complete.

This is no ones fault, it simply cannot done.

I dont give a shit about IT HAS THE MOST STUFF, I DONT EVEN USES FLASHES!

Yeah, well, then its not Froyo bitch. The real ROM simply is not small enough to fit. Upgrade your fucking handset.

LOOK AT ME, I WAIT FOR THE SMART PEOPLE TO MOD, THEN I FOLLOW SIMPLY DIRECTIONS AND LOOK!!!! NOW I CAN WAIT 2 MONTHS (8 weeks!!!) MORE TO SPENED MONIES FOR NEW PHONES!@!!

GO DEVS.

Yes, congrats to the Devs.. no feat is possible without you.

But seriously, all you LlamaGoatSheep out there.. just upgrade your friggen phones.]]>Jul 11th 2010 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/11/cyanogen-squeezes-android-2-2-froyo-into-g1-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/11/cyanogen-squeezes-android-2-2-froyo-into-g1-mytouch-3g/Jul 11th 2010 12:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/11/cyanogen-squeezes-android-2-2-froyo-into-g1-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/11/cyanogen-squeezes-android-2-2-froyo-into-g1-mytouch-3g/Cause phones are shaped rectangular Luke bricks, and when your phone breaks you might as well use it as a brick paper weight or build a wall....at least thats what makes sense to me.]]>Jul 11th 2010 12:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/11/cyanogen-squeezes-android-2-2-froyo-into-g1-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/11/cyanogen-squeezes-android-2-2-froyo-into-g1-mytouch-3g/Jul 11th 2010 12:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/11/cyanogen-squeezes-android-2-2-froyo-into-g1-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/11/cyanogen-squeezes-android-2-2-froyo-into-g1-mytouch-3g/Jul 11th 2010 1:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/11/cyanogen-squeezes-android-2-2-froyo-into-g1-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/11/cyanogen-squeezes-android-2-2-froyo-into-g1-mytouch-3g/
Meatball, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this comment thread is now dumber for having read it.

Also, the market FC/voice search not working can be fixed by flashing the right GApps, the original caused problems on many devices. If flashing that alone doesn't fix the FCs, then fixing UID permissions (in recovery) should. Files are on kanged.net, instructions are in the XDA and CM forums.]]>Jul 12th 2010 1:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/11/cyanogen-squeezes-android-2-2-froyo-into-g1-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/11/cyanogen-squeezes-android-2-2-froyo-into-g1-mytouch-3g/Jul 11th 2010 5:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/11/cyanogen-squeezes-android-2-2-froyo-into-g1-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/11/cyanogen-squeezes-android-2-2-froyo-into-g1-mytouch-3g/Jul 11th 2010 10:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/11/cyanogen-squeezes-android-2-2-froyo-into-g1-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/11/cyanogen-squeezes-android-2-2-froyo-into-g1-mytouch-3g/

I also installed Launcher Pro Beta instead of the stock launcher that comes with the CyanogenMod and I think this one is running a bit nicer and smoother.
But keep in mind this Cyanogenmod is an Alpha version and bugs are expected.
MarketPlace for me FCs after every app I install, but I think I will leave it on for a little while again before I decide if to switch back to 5.0.8]]>Jul 11th 2010 11:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/11/cyanogen-squeezes-android-2-2-froyo-into-g1-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/11/cyanogen-squeezes-android-2-2-froyo-into-g1-mytouch-3g/only when messing with the radio, baseband, and bootloader there is a chance of bricking you phone]]>Jul 11th 2010 5:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/11/cyanogen-squeezes-android-2-2-froyo-into-g1-mytouch-3g/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/11/cyanogen-squeezes-android-2-2-froyo-into-g1-mytouch-3g/#include

One of my friends is becoming a developer for Android. However, he isn't due for an upgrade but wanted a great phone to develop with.

So he bought a Droid Eris off a local seller... Overclocked it by 200mhz, and is running Evil Eris ROM... waiting for a stable Kaos Rom.
