As it becomes closer and closer do we think that Eris can handle Gingerbread?
I'm sure our wonderful dev's here at XDA will do something with it. However, it's hardly got the specs for Froyo as-is, so I wouldn't get your hopes up.
We must not forget that the eris runs better on froyo than it did on eclair. I'm sure someone will get gingerbread on the eris, but who knows if it will be efficient.

From what I've read 2.3 requires a 1ghz processor, 512mb ram, and a 3.5" or larger screen, so I doubt it, but you never know. The eris devs are pretty amazing.

higher build# = better!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but in all seriousness there is plenty of information about the differences from froyo to gingerbread...the sdk highlights summarize it pretty simply
is the leap from froyo to gb as big as the leap from donut or something to eclair or eclair to froyo? no, or at least it doesnt seem that way
but its whats current
Gingerbread includes several optimizations for the Hummingbird processor, much like Froyo has a bunch of optimizations for Snapdragon. Most of the changes are not something the user will see and are really on the underlying OS AFAIK.

You could try a new rom like Cyanogen mod 7. It should work. Also use setcpu with it.
2.1? Time for a new ROM! From what I understand Gene's latest ROM supports overclocking, if you want to keep Sense on your phone.

Its dependent on the kernel, not the rom. If the kernel doesn't support higher frequencies then you wont be able to overclock. I'm not aware of any overclock kernels for 2.1 on the aria but somebody else might.

Only reason I stay on 2.1 is 2.2/2.3 aren't smooth for me. But isn't it possible to edit the sense kernel to support overclocking?

Yes and this was already done in new roms (Cyanogen mod) based off of an overclockable kernel.
Okay. I need a 2.1 compatible OC kernel. Not CM

Thats just it. I want a smooth sense, but that's like impossible with this phone.

I put the Liberated ROM on my gf's phone and it runs nicely, without overclocking. Throw in setCPU and there should be not much that can slow it down.
Ehh. I think ill just go back to an iPhone or maybe stick with getting the Inspire. This phone ruined Android for me.
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
Well with that attitude you might aswell get an iPhone, it seems to fit your personality better.
Having said that... normal 2.1 sense without OC is smooth as butter, as is liberated 2.2.2 with and without OC. Or, if sense is what you're complaining about, install CM7 like others have suggested to eliminate it entirely.
I'm sorry you don't like your phone. I always like to try mine out at the store before I buy them.
Well where I got my phone they don't let you try them out. I was just going by what people said on here and else where for my phone choosing.
But the main issue is, I use my phone like a laptop almost. I check xda all the time. I use it for entertainment. I text almost 24/7. I also use it as my only music player, as my mp3 players never last long. But then phone doesn't perform well enough in most or all categories. Iphones kind of do, but I consider them overrated and bland. Even with jailbreak. I like HTC sense because its got enough eye candy, and its very user friendly. I also prefer CM7 as well due to its blazing speeds. But I want to have a phone that suits most of my needs, and I don't know if my thoughts on the inspire are correct or not, but I think it would suit me perfect, as the aria definitely does not.
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
You would be better suited to get a phone with a larger screen and armv7 processor. The inspire has both of these although the battery life is not as great out of the box. I would also recommend the Samsung captivate, as it has a super amoled screen but not front facing camera. CM7 has just added support for it as well.
Sent from HTC Aria - CM7 NIGHTLY + Drowning Kernel
Well I don't really need the super quality screen of the captivate, as I'm not a freak on screen quality. But I'm near my charger quite a bit, so bl isn't a giant issue either. My biggest issue is speed and screen size. I have to type in landscape with the aria or I mess up every other word.
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
I suggested the Captivate because it has an arguably better screen and can be had for cheaper than the inspire. The inspire will seem awkwardly huge coming from the aria (3.2" vs 4.3"), where as the captivate is still a step up at 4" but easier to handle with one hand. Also with ARMv7 processors you get REAL flash support (10.1+) whereas the Aria (and any other ARMv6 phone) only gets Flash lite 3.1(?) this is a huge caveat for me and will probably be my excuse to upgrade.
Well when I first got the aria, it was because looked down on touchwiz. I wanted a phone I could like out of the box, then root it for more fun. The aria sort of hit that spot, but I think the inspire will hit it out of the park. I really like sense, and thats my main reason for getting a sense phone.
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
Well now I'm checking out the atrix. 50$ upgrade refurbished, sounds nice to me. Future proof myself and get rid of blur and well be all good. Right?

If you woke up and found Samsung released gingerbread for vibrant and T-Mobile pushed it out to your phone, how would you use your phone differently?
Use GPS and Netflix doesn't count...
Just trying to figure out why people are up in arms again about updates.
Thanks to our all devs who have already brought 2.3 to us!!
Nothing different. I just want it.
When I got 2.2, felt the same as 2.1, except for the colorful icons in the settings menu.
I still wanted it though.
Gimmee gimmme 2.3 hurry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can see the memory management of 2.3 is better than 2.2, include Copy, Paste functions and status bar icon more beautyful... waiting for Ice cream
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Lets be clear, looking forward to an os update doesn't equate to dissatisfaction with the devs. It only means your looking forward to the update. And I wouldn't be surprised if some of the devs are anxious either. After all, an update means new source. New source means new roms, new kernels, new life to a phone that many considered to be dead. And if out weren't for the life support provided by the devs, it would surely be dead.
gingerbread optimizes the hummingbird cpu, which would make the overall vibrant experience better.

Valid point though, is it ever enough? We were never guaranteed gingerbread and honestly i've run it and yes it is nicer than froyo but it is by no means worthy of throwing a fit or being pissy or grabbing pitch forks and torches over. Without devs our phone was a freaking embarrassment on 2.1 yes but 2.2 is smooth I dunno what is expected. We got jerked around pretty good last time. But it appears that they are stepping up with new phones. Unfortunately the vibrant may have to wait. It appears there is some change though we will see if it lasts. But seriously we gotta just see what happens no point in getting over pissed

It doesn't matter what you think
already running gingerbread, so for the most part i don't care. but i would probably flash some rounds of whatever roms come of it.
So if netflix works only on GB for Galaxy S phones, why OP excluded it as a valid reason to get GB update? Right now that is the only reason i want GB on my phone.
I'd enjoy the improved battery life, major bug fixes such as sms being sent to random recipient, better memory management and security hotfixes.

I heard a rumor that Gingerbread will include the ext4 file system. Is it true?
Way better memory management and overall faster. Supposedly, it's coming this month.

Looking at a Droid Eris to use as a backup device and I was just wondering what the benchmarking looked like with the cyanogen 7 ports. I looked around but it doesn't look like anyone has done that yet.
Could someone who has that setup just run that and let me know?
It really depends on how you configure it: JIT, compcache, dalvik, etc etc.
A stock Eris (2.1 & Sense UI) gets about 200.
With my settings, I get anywhere from 350-400.
Quadrant Standard is not always indicative of day-to-day use, though.
If you have a stable ROM, the phone should be pretty snappy; with the right settings, it can compete with 1 GHz phones.
I'm pulling 1556 on a stock non rooted fascinate.

My Scores are in a slightly lower range. Im seeing from 335-380 running NonsensikalFroyo. Im sure it can do better but its just been so darn stable I have no reason to mess with it.

Well, I'm using GSB v4.4(cyanogen based); getting 380 to 400 on it stock(not having modified nothing). Also, don't expect 'Quadrant Standard' to be reliable, when a phone is fast it's fast. Hope this helped

My companys giving me a dx2 and i just noticed no cm support ..bummer, especially since the dx at least has nightlies...figured the dx2 would as well..now with cm team getn ready to tackle ics im extra sad.
so my question is it even worth rooting this thing and running custom roms? i mean is there anything out there that offers anything over the oem experience (obviously minus the motoblur)?
correct me if im wrong but with the locked bootloader u cant even oc/uc the clock speed..just tryn to figure out if its worth the effort.
appreciate any opinions.
send from my G2X (cm7)
Yes, it's most certainly worth the effort. We don't have access to the bootloader, and thus the kernel, but the devs working on the dx2 are very active and consistently pushing out great products. Rooting is easy and nothing else is too difficult either. I'd look at the sticky by booked in the dev forum to find all the info you'll need.

There's a Dec trying to port CM7/MIUI over. And he's right, we've got GREAT devs! And more people are becoming devs all the time. The benefits are a much faster and snappier experience with less blur. You can't completely deblur it, but devs have gotten pretty damn close! I say you should root it, install our BSR and try flashing the different ROMs. That's what I did and it brought me to Eclipse. Then went to Molten and now I "dual boot" both haha

With a locked bootloader I would say we are doing pretty damn good. Liberty & Eclipse are two of my favorite that you should try out. I think Liberty is closest to stock GB as you will get.
