I have a T-Mobile G2 and although I've read earlier today that they are 'working' on getting the update ready. I'd rather just have the normal version of Sense that everyone else has
I've tried reading through lots of topics here but I'm a bit confused what I need to do. Do I need to root my phone ? Unlock it ?
As you can probably tell I'm new to Android so I don't really know much about it
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks
Yes, T-Mobile had to be dragged kinking and screaming into making an announcement. Now that they have I shall wait.
It seems the only benefit of getting the T-Mobile Upgrade is that you get to keep your warranty apart from that it's just the same but with a few T-Mobile logo's chucked in...
..and not having to go through the risks of 'hacking' your phone aswell

well even if you get it unlocked from what iam reading it make not a S**** of difference you still cannot use updates from HTC. I have rooted my tmob with custom rom seems to work ok alot faster then tmobs stock rom but i am sure there official update will be here very very soon
And pigs might grow wings and start aerial assaults...
I have no faith in T-Mobile's ability to provide a timely ROM upgrade, maybe by Xmas. I would love them to prove me wrong of course.
Go to Modaco and follow the instructions carefully to install their custom rom, if any steps in the procedure give you cause to be concerned, DONT do it.
And always make backups of your data.
And make sure you backup your data.
Yes, I know I repeated myself, but trust me, its a major point if you are going to mess around with roms.
so i have been hearing about the much anticipated "2.1 update 1" update that will enable pinch zoom on maps and browser applications.
i havent recieved it yet (im in canada so i figure the next few days will bring it to me) BUT i am debating what to do
xda peeps have already released a dual touch capable update, that is supposedly functional in all multitouch capable applications.
so i have a few options... wait for the official release and take it, or root and go the back door XDA way..... i have had my X10 for a few weeks now, i love it but i notice its a bit laggy considering the hardware.
so, a few questions...
1) should i wait for the SE official and keep my phone stock? (to maintain warranty in case of hardware problems)
2) in that case if i want full dual touch capability, can i do the XDA dual touch root mod AFTER i get the SE update?
3) if i decide to root and follow some of the guides posted all over this forum to speed up and improve my phone, is my warranty void? am i f***** if i have a harware problem? cuz i just got this phone and dont want to void my warranty so quickly because i have heard of some potential hardware problems....
i know this is a big post, but its my first and im really hoping that i get better responses than some of the other android based forums i have tried in the past few days.
thanks in advance! please help me ouutttt i want to learnn
Hey everyone I got a question and I hope people contribute rather than leave nasty comments behind.If its on a previous thread just point me there.
With the Gingerbread update I know that it will make somethings unavailable for a while.Here is the question...
Will we there be a way to get the web-top hack back as well as the netflix .apk to run?Will side-loading actually be available and will we be able to root?
I have read some threads saying that the bootloader "Might" be unlocked,so will this help out the whole rooting and sideloading and web-top hacks...?
I use the web-top and netflix app alot and so I would like to know what your opinions are thanks.
Actually, all rooting-sideloading-tethering-etc modifications may be truncated; but it's a matter of time... Nobody can tell you.
You should just wait for the update...
Was necessary a new thread for asking this? really?
release the dogs...
The future's a long way off...
From one cloud to another.
idk if this is a ? or a statement but is there anyway there will be a stock JB ROM soon? i would love to use stock without sense to check it out. not a developer by any means, but couldn't someone port it somehow or something?

Well,your question was very stupid and my answer was accurate.
Deck is still getting cm9 running so I'm sure when he desides he will switch to the jelly version when CM does.

The number 1 thing developers hate is when people ask questions like this. When something is ready, it will be released. I'm sure you're not the only person lurking around these forums that wants stock jelly bean on their device. Let them do their thing and be patient. Hell, they are still baking stock ICS roms, so JB will take a little while longer. Keep being pushy and I'm sure you will end up on someone's sh*t list. Just giving you a heads up.

and its people like you guys like get there a*s kicked cause they just like to run the trap. im not one to talk trash but when someones a smarta*s to me over a simple question then all bets are off. it was a simple question that anyone who had any info on if a build is coming could have answered. exactly the answers i got from you kids i could of gotten from a baby. aka your being a smarta*s so whatever...
You come in here asking a question that is religiously flamed for and hope to not get flamed? Wow. Everyone knows not to ask for ETAs, and if you wanna talk so much smack back how about you port it over yourself.
Posting in a soon-to-be-closed thread! :victory:
Also OP, sorry you got flamed! I would guess a ROM will be out at the latest by the end of 2012 or such. I'm no dev, though. Patience, padawan!
Expect a working SDK port by the end of the month or a little ways into August. For the real deal, I'd say a few weeks after a device with jelly bean is released

as the other guys say this type of question is the few of the ones you dont ask. when a dev puts it out, it will be announced. and im sure a few devs who love senseless roms are rushing their little fingers to put out the code for it, hell the HTC ONE X international got it last night, but i know that because i like to keep up to date on my phones.
but i dunno, i gave you 2 answers and you weren't happy, here is a 3rd.

I was just giving you a heads up about the way you were asking. I don't bash people here, but some others will without hesitation. You, like all the rest of us, have and are wondering when things will get ported over and become available, but we all must be patient. The devs hate when you ask questions like this because it makes them feel rushed, and when they feel rushed they either take longer on the development of whatever project or they completely abandon it all together. Again, wasn't trying to be a smart ass to you dude, just didn't want to see you get flamed here. Like the rest of us, just be patient.
There is nothing wrong with a question like this. What I understood from the question was the OP was asking if there are any plans on it which is a legitimate and friendly question. Most question that are "If" are okay but "when" is not so good. I am wondering IF we are going to have it one day versus I am wondering WHEN they will have one. No issues with this question at all.

first off i didnt mean to hit the "thanks" button i hit it on accident going for the "quote" button. but idk who your talking about because if you could read you would of seen that i wasn't asking for an ETA. I was asking if there will be and if its even possible to port something from another phone like the "gnex" over to our phone. and last if you would read some more of this thread you would see that i wasn't the one running my mouth so dont come at me like that saying i was.
Doesn't matter if the op was right or wrong in asking his question. Let it be...
I will never understand why people have to flame someone/be a smart ass behind their computer on these forums. You can say whatever you want concerning the original post, but it doesn't change the fact that your response was unwelcome and completely worthless. If the op was wrong, let it be or let an admin reprimand him. I don't see any of you "flamers" with admin status. No matter what you say, your response was worse than the original post.
To the OP, jellybean will get here when it does. Will it get here soon? I hope so! Honestly, no one knows, there are too many factors that will effect the timing of a JB stock rom release. Rest certain that it will arrive eventually.

Just be the bigger person. No need to get all fired up. You will see rude people around here and in every forum. No matter the question rude and smartass comments are not called for.
This is a very new phone and it will likely get 4.1. So I am sure the one you want will end up here it will just take some time.
As for not being a dev thats fine. Look up the source for it and some threads on building AOSP roms and give making an AOSP a try. Who knows maybe you'll like it.
Good luck and dont mind the rude ones here.
Also porting from the Gnex would likely be not an easy task but I am sure he probably has a git for it.
yea actually i have been trying to learn code and script and all the aosp stuff. its crazy hard lol but i know man ur always gonna have haters on here that's for sure. but thanks for the comment.

Your welcome. Remember just and wave pisses off the haters more XD
Hello,
Plz dont sling hate if this question has been asked elsewhere, i have looked but could not find the answer.
If i do a basic root and not change anything. Maybe uninstall some bloatware. Will i be able to update thru ATT? Such as if they ever release ics. Or should i wait for ics then root? Also will a update from att unroot it? I just got my Note and LOVE IT :victory: . Just wanna cover my bases.
Thx For The Help. :good:
Truth is nobody knows yet because it hasn't happened. The general consensus is that you will break ota updates by rooting. Will you lose root if you are able to take the download? I would say yes, but wouldn't worry about any of this. Just root and when they release ics, flash back to stock and take the download. Chances are, once you root, you will give two shivs about the official release cause you'll be running an ics ROM that's better than anything At&t will push out.
Root is not permanent so you can undo it.
Thanks for the responce. i was thinking that also but wasnt sure. True i might try and and have fun. Like you said i can always go back.
It can sometimes grow into an addiction. An example is my esteemed colleague Froidroid.
Sometimes?
Go for it. You will addicted. Rehabs for quiters
