No upgrade for Glacier/MyTouch4G

[TabascoTX]

So I was reading a blog about future upgrades for phones and saw no mention of our beloved MyTouch 4G. Any thoughts? http://m.blogs.computerworld.com/18077/android_23_upgrade_list

Android 2.3 Upgrade List: The Rest of the Phones

If a phone isn't listed here -- like the original Motorola Droid, for example -- it's likely because there just isn't much clear info available yet about its fate. Odds are, we'll soon be hearing more and more details with each passing week.

There have been some reports of HTC reps saying we will have an update, and the site says they do not have info on all phones

I think the fact that the myTouch phones use the stupid, TMO customized version of Sense means OS updates will be slightly delayed compared to other phones that use more common user interfaces (only the myTouch phones use "mySense", but there are lots of HTC phones that use regular Sense). That being said, it would be shocking if a phone with hardware as powerful as the MT4G has doesn't get a 2.3 update, or even 2.4 if that comes out eventually.

Shocking yes, but typical in the logic of big business? Not at all.

1) Do you really want an update from t-mobile?

2) If the G2 gets it, my guess is the MT4G would follow - considering the hardware similarities.

3) CyanogenMod7>Any OTA from T-Mobile.

The vast majority of MT4G's and in fact all Android phones are not rooted. Although most XDA users don't want an OTA, most users of the MT4G would benefit from it. Also, the development community can benefit from a 2.3 OTA because of kernels and drivers that are Gingerbread compatible specifically made for our device, that we don't currently have.

If CM7RC4 is as good as it is now, image what will happen if we get the official drivers, and various protocols.

as much as i like AOSP ROMs i'd love to see some HomeBaked goodies using the real deal.

And i know TeamRoyal would cook up some mighty good stuff as well.

 

[TabascoTX]

Yeah it would deff be nice to see ASOP for us,that would open up so much for us.

If the g2 gets it, and they release kernel source, it wont matter if we get an official version or not.

Ive never like stock, stupid crap i didnt need, slow, and built how they want..Cm7 has everything i need. But if the mytouch 3g got froyo, dont see why this phone, which started at 2.2.1, wont see gingy.

 

[ayamjago]

humm... when the ginger comes out i bet the honey based custom will also be out. i take the honey then

man... im hungry
