I read some people on xda were able to do it just fine but others were having problems.
According to LG, Gingerbread requires a 1 GHz processor.
sooo... which phones would qualify? Maybe that will make it more likely to get 2.3 out there faster for non-stock phones? In the past, companies had to potentially update every phone in their lineup for 2.2... I assume there aren't that many 1 GHz phones out there? Galaxy line, Moto 2/X, G2, Incredible?

I read that the G2 is the new OC king. It can comfortably do 1.5 Ghz and there are some kernals approaching 2.0 GhzDavidion said:

Just wanted to mention that those of you running custom ROMs looking for a lock screen capable music player, download the winamp beta off of the marketplace. It's free.

The 800 MHz second gen snapdragon in the G2 and Desire Z wipes the floor with the first gen 1 GHz snapdragon in the Desire and Nexus 1. It wont be an issue.
You can't compare clock speeds this way with different types of cpus. I am sure the G2/Desire Z could run Gingerbread with one arm tied behind its back..

My buddy got 2.2.1 on his droid 1 tonight as well. I helped him root and he went ahead and tried to install anyways, and then FREAKED OUT when it stopped responding. Ya don't do that.
On that note, how would we go about updating our rooted stock droids with the OTA?
Just a head's up, the Viewsonic G Tablet is pretty damn slick for the price (< $400) once you root it and get rid of the awful stock UI. It lacks the build quality of the iPad, and the screen viewing ratio is narrower than I'd like. But it's the best Android tablet I've seen so far for the price.

I know I'm going to be shit on for this and I'm not trying to start any phone wars, but should I wait for the iPhone to come out for verizon or just get the droid x. I've used my friend's droid x, and while it has a lot of better features, I just find the user interface ugly in comparison to the iphone. I don't know what to doooooooooooooo.
MrGame&Watch said:
I like HTC's Sense UI better than stock android. If you find the ui ugly, it's worth a look.
Also, Android may be less streamlined than iOS, but it also has fewer restrictions on multitasking, codec support, application behavior, etc. It's not entirely dissimilar from the Win9x vs MacOS wars in my opinion. Although Android is far closer to parity with Apple than Windows was at the time.
MrGame&Watch said:
Take a look at the Android UI customizations thread to see people making their Android phones less ugly, if that matters to you.
I got DX. I might jump ship after my one year contract with VZ. I like the widgets, flash, and customization of android phone. However, my experience with DX is pain:Random reboots, freezing, etc. it might not be the Android software, but Motorola's side. I miss the iPhone games and the integrated music/podcast/video player. unless PSPhone is mind blowing good.MrGame&Watch said:
I'll wait until iPhone for VZ is announce or other future android phones (PSPhone)

I use Unified Remote. I only really use the mouse, task switcher and Spotify functions but it does more... http://www.unifiedremote.com/features

Considering that the G2 at 800mhz is more powerful than any of the other processors out there at 1Ghz (minus the MyTouch 4G, since it's essentially the same processor as the G2 but at 1Ghz stock), that wouldn't make sense even if the prerequisite did exist (which it doesn't). Besides, it's way too easy to overclock some models. I've got my G2 running at 1.2Ghz 24/7, and turn it up to 1.5 Ghz when I run certain games.
You can actually make your Android phone's homescreens look virtually identical to the iPhone OS with the LauncherPro app, the Desktop Visualizer app and an iPhone icons pack.MrGame&Watch said:
I'm not sure why you would want to though. I think my homescreens look much sharper than the iPhone and they have much more functionality, as well.

Has anyone here oc'ed their droid x? I just remembered that I have set cpu purchased and was wondering what speed would be good without ruining battery life.
RJNavarrete said:
You can't oc with set cpu. For your droid x, assuming its rooted, you want jrummy droid overclocker on the market. I have mine at ultra low voltage settings and an overclock to 1.2ghz. More speed and better battery life.

I love apples hardware, but the ui hardly blows me away. Its serviceable enough, but im sure you'd find that the interface is the last thing owners would sing praises about. Application support and cohesiveness are its greatest strength. The ui itself needs a major overhaul. Taking cues from ms and google as far as having an improved notification system and letting users make things more personal and relevant to their needs will go a long way (and im not talking about changing your battery meter to an animated pacman).

I have a question and I'm not sure this is the right thread to ask as it is only tangentially related.
I have an Android phone and my wife has an iPod. We have been downloading all of our digital copies from Bluray purchases into iTunes but now that I have an Android phone I don't want to do that since the films won't play on there. If I choose the Windows option for the digital copy will this copy play on both my Android phone and her iPod? I want to ask before I screw myself out of playback on both devices!
Or if anyone knows an Android video player that plays iTunes encrypted movies, or how to easily decrypt iTunes movies, that would be even better!
The movie I have is The Expendables. Extremely badass!
Edit: After some more searching it seems that the Windows Media Edition downloads don't play on Android phones. I'm going with the iTunes version and will start looking for a way to unlock the DRM to play these movies that I already legally own! Mark this one as one of the situations where the pirated copy works better than the legal one

Is anyone else experiencing any problems from Google Contact Sync? It seems to be syncing correctly from my Google contacts to my phone, but not back up from my phone to Google contacts. The sync indicator under my phone's settings also says something along the lines of "Sync is currently experiencing problems and will be back shortly", but I've had that message since the 7th.
