Examples??
I would assume that they are not compatible with the 2.1 SDK's... which would have to take really bad programming because Google is really up tite lately about legacy code in their SDK's always being 100% backwards compatible to old software(That is of course with the exception of new Android features).

Are there any 2.2 specific apps out yet? that's the only reason I can think that an android app won't work on 2.1

AFAIK, Never, because it will not fit on an unrooted G1. it needs to have the DangerSPL because it frees up 10MB for the system partition to use.

Goolge said that G1's weren't going above 1.6, only newer android devices are getting 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2, so either root or enjoy your plain donut
Moved to the Q&A thread.
just root if you wanna get 2.1 or 2.2, as was stated beforehand, you'll never get an ota update again for your phone. soz bud..

OTA updates are weak.
Root the phone either yourself or pay someone that has experience doing so in the past.
It is just essential in taking advantage of your HTC Dream/G1 fully.
Rom Devs contributing their amazing work here on xda work wonders and should be recognized as such.
Once I got mine rooted I was more than ecstatic with the results and continue to be til this day.

Why don't flash sites work on my hero anymore?

When I got my phone I was able to visit any flash site and also stream quite a few embedded videos but now nothing flash related works at all. How is this possible?
Sorry for posting in the wrong place. Oops

Give us more info please. Are you rooted? What ROM, kernel, apps installed, etc?
I flashed cyanogen 6.0 with RA armory 1.7. And then flashed Google apps and here I am. Sorry about the lack of info; didn't want to include to many irrelevant details.

Because the flash lite that allowed you to was part of sense and there is no sense in cm6
Ooooohh, ok thanks. That sucks. I guess ill settle with no flash though because this Tom is amazing

Anyone able to help?
Seems like everything I've already done myself besides optimized apk... Don't know if that one thing alone is worth a full wipe

Just tried this...not a fan.
Low Quadrant score...the main 2.2 with all the crapware installed + Launcher pro was faster...

Of course it will get better.
The main benefit here is that to try this ROM, I rooted my phone, and had to get the backup and recovery working.
Now when a better ROM comes along, I don't have to repeat that process.
Meh.. Using just the original 2.2 leak my highest score so far doing it legitimately has been 1470... Using the stagefright hack I hit a 2200 one time but feel thats cheating

My scores are pretty much the same, around 1400 without stagefright. I was wanting to clean my system up a bit anyways and this gave me the opportunity. I'll stick with it for now as long as the battery life is good. Can't wait to see what's down the pike though. Hoping for an ASOP soon.

Thanks, but doesn't work for me. If I use MarketEnabler, I can finde the music app in the Market, but it refuses to install, claiming that it's invalidly signed.
If I download the apk from the link above, package installer terminates with a simple 'not installed' message.
Rooted Euro Tab on Swisscom, Switzerland.
Rapax, have you installed honeycomb music player before that? If yes - delete it..

I get the same thing here after upgrading to Gingerbread (Overcome) - I used MarketEnabler to download it from the Market; happily running under Overcome 1.6.x (Froyo) but after Gingerbread all it does is force close upon running.

Yeah Google Music crashes each time since the Gingerbread update... Overcome and Stock too
Here too
Euro tab GSM, running GB overcome 2.0 beta 2
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
I pinned down the crashes to two reasons:
Obviously Samsung built our 2.3.3 on rather outdated code and modified some pieces of the mediaprovider...
Usually, the Stock-Music apk allows access to the MediaPlayBackService and Google temporarily revoked access in 2.3.3, so Samsung thought it would be a great opportunity to **** around with the existing code and Changed some things in the Stock MediaProvider-Service thingy
That's the major reason why the Google Music Beta crashes in 2.3.3 but works great in 2.2
So it is not a "Google Thing", it is a "Samsung Thing" and Samsung would have to fix that.. We all know that this won't be likely to happen, so there are two possibilities I see here... We fix it ourselves or someone clever ports the MediaProvider including access to the MediaPlayBackService from the current CyanogenMod 7.something builds to the Galaxy tab. I tried and failed as the modules crashed on boot and I had to reflash the whole system
Anyone interested in getting that done? I'd do it, but I've too little time at the moment to get it done properly :-/ it shouldn't be that hard anyways, I guess...
Someone needs to make this work. I have all my devices working beautifully with Google music without a problem except on my galaxy tab running overcome 2.0.

I can confirm that the latest update of google music works on galaxy tab with Gingerbread

Have you tried deleting the application data and reboot then? :-/ I used the official market version btw. but that shouldn't make much difference... as I pulled it directly after the install from my tab.

no no no i mean like i need a app mooded to make my phone let me install it. i have tried but it says it is non market app and i do not have the option to enable install from unknown sourses
Why not just upgrade to the official Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread for the Captivate and then u would have the option to allow installation of apps from unknown sources ?
Stock Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread i897ucKK4 Odin or Heimdall One Clicks.
