hello to all from Greece...
Since i am new to android (had iphone before) i would like to ask something about my new galaxy s.
Can i install the original android froyo like it came from google and not the samsung one.....I am asking this because i do not want to wait for samsung to release new versions like gingerbread since google releases them first.... and i dont like touchwiz.....
If i cant what device is able to do that ... and how
thnks and sorry if same question was answered before......
No you can't. Simple, why did you buy Samsung, if you don't like touchwiz? And actually...samsung is going to release gingerbread first.
As i said i am new to android and the phone was a gift....from my wife...
So If i cant what device is able to do that ... and how
thnks
(a) This thread does NOT belong in "Android Development". Moved to Q&A
(b) "Hello to all" is never an acceptable thread title. A thread title should be descriptive of the content of the thread.

You cannot just install Gingerbread when Google releases it, you need to wait for Samsung to add their drivers and customizations.
Isnt there a phone that can do that.... Able to install gingerbread as soon as google releasesit...like nexus one or something

I've seen it on various topics/blogs/sites that GB has started to roll out in EU but is this just another load of BS as I would have thought it would have been seen in the wild by now or posted on XDA by somebody.
Anybody go any insight into this, whether or not its actually started to roll out to public or just devs/testers etc?
Can you postthouse sites here ? becouse i only hear that Vodafone_AU has receive for testing Gingerbread for GTab but it can`t say the update starting date.
We have unofficial Gingerbread from Cyanogen Team here to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931857

can we get it to our HD2
Yes this is true. I already have it. What this is saying is that it is available for app developers using the updated software written for Mango. I guess it would be possible to extract somehow the actual Mango ROM from the emulator and use it here on our HD2s. But that is too involved for my time. I'm sure someone will have it available here for us soon.

you cant use a x86 rom for our platform, so no, its not possible.
dont confuse us tomorrow some real phones with mango will be delivered to developers, so thats the important information for us because if someone would extract the rom from the phone itself, we could use it to port it to the hd2.
the updated emulator-rom is irrelevant because its compiled for desktop-pcs.
Those who have Dev account with AppHub (Including Free Student Accounts) have or will be getting an email that links them to download a Mango Beta Update. It can be used on their Retail Dev Unlocked WP7 devices. I am currently updating my HD7 to Mango right now (60% Done).
See this post...
EDIT: If someone could tell me how the Dump the ROM once I'm upgraded, I'll happily do so for the HD2 developers.
(PM me with instructions, I won't be watching this thread.)
I'm not sure if this qualifies as development, but there are two unreleased firmwares floating around the Archos update server.
One is for a Gen8v2, which I have no idea what that is. It won't install onto current release models of the Gen8 lineup. I've tried on my A70IT and my A101IT.
http://update.archos.com/8/gen8v2/gen8v2_2.3.72/firmware_archos_android_gen8.aos
Then the surprising thing, is that there is a Gen9 firmware available!
Could possibly be a pre-release firmware, or possibly even release firmware.
http://update.archos.com/9/gen9/gen9_3.1.11/firmware_archos_it4.aos
Now the question is... Can anyone get into the .aos files?
I figured I'd share with the community here. This information was brought to my attention from another user at the ArchosFans forum (Bobo, a new user there).
Before anyone posts "no, you can't get into it", remember this is an unknown firmware, it could use a different public key, no key, who knows. So unless you can test the gen7 method or a new brute method, don't just post "no".
where did you get these from?
The link that they're hosted on. Right from Archos' update site.
I wonder is the "v2" could just mean the second beta for the new firmware.

That's kind of what I'm leaning towards, as the firmware numbering scheme matches up with what should be next for Gen8 devices.
The only problem is that it won't install, it gives an error saying it's for a different device. Maybe Archos did that so even if we found unreleased firmware, we couldn't install it.

That's what I'm thinking too. I bet they have developer models with different IDs that it will install on. I'm really hoping it's our new firmware...

Me too
I cant say "thats our new firmware", but i can say that we propably get another firmware from archos even the Archos5IT, the oldest android tablet from archos, get a new firmware in 2011
maybe, it's honeycomb for gen8

The world needs more optimists
The new firmware for gen8 isn't Honeycomb, because the gen9 Honeycomb firmare is about 160MB and the gen8's is only 86MB
yea, but we do need at least gingerbread, otherwise that frontfacing camera is pretty much useless
Or it could be a firmware for the recently announced Archos 70b or whatever it's called.... the upcoming budget tablet, clearly with it's thumb in the Kindle Fire's eye, running Honeycomb but based on the original Gen8 hardware.
i cant wait to get this firmware.......ive only had my tab for 1 month and im using adw right now.....
http://www.androidcentral.com/dell-streak-7-honeycomb-update-has-arrived-some
So is this upgradable only from froyo, or can it be used to update from the Honeystreak? Haven't looked at all the details yet, as I'm still at work.
Thanks if you find anything out gang.
Update:
Moved thread from Dev to General
That makes no sense that it's only upgradeable from GB seeing as gb for s7 never existed
Proof or its not happening.
Iv got s7 wifi from uk but still says no update
What im worryed about its that my service tag has changed to the usa version
My s7 wifi says no update still
wonder if stage ui makes it over to honeycomb
It should, the s10 has stageui 1.7 and it's highly likely the s7 will too.
I did a write up here if anyone is interested in knowing the difference between the various stageui versions.
cool so stageui 1.7, you can use stage widgetswith any launcher?
You're all over this stuff TheManii..
on any HC device yes, it's not available yet though as no dump is available yet
it wont work on anything before 3.0
how would I even update this if and when it does come out?
I wonder how long it will take a mod to come and move this to general where it belongs When I first saw the thread title "Honeycomb official update" and it was in development I got excited thinking I'd find a link to a system dump or something.. But it was not related to development at all.. bummer. OP should get stoned to death for getting people excited.. hehehe
Instead of throwing rocks you can throw your s7's at him, dont mind me if i catch one and take it to dev on

Thanks for the link! However, when you go to install it, it says that it's a model mismatch in Android recovery.
any ideas?
I'll start preparing it, i KNEW that it was due to another unknown rom version.
The device version is different too, it's GLUNB1A2, vs GLUNB1A1 for normal wifi/3-4g devices and rom version 340.
Is that from your S7 Xi2Wicked?
If it is could you make a nandroid/nvflash dump before updating? as 340 for this device revision (and in general) hasnt been dumped
