@ Around 2:49
It does look smoother but, not much to go from. Hopefully if this is true it might mean the ROM should be released for current phones with the old ROM.
Given that the new ROM is already out in the wild, you're a little late with this!

Hahaha I knew I was missing something! Silly me
Go ahead and lock this. Sorry for failing at searching. I'm surprised none of the major cellphone blogs (including Android Blogs) haven't picked up on this update.
Yeah, but that is leaked ROMs, right?
This is the first official launch with the updated ROM, so I count that as news!
how long does it take to update Sence UI for Android 2.0
urgh im dying to get the update 1.5 is so buggy with stuff
they have to release it for their other handsets as well - tattoo etc - they may also be working on a way to get 2.0 on the magic as well. It all takes time!

1.5 isnt that bad, I don't see the update coming this year (but still hoping for it)
Patience is a virtue or something like that
I bet that the first 2.0 release will have way more bugs than the current 1.5 (2.73.405.66) version
Hope not...

We hope not...
I personally hope we wunt have to rely on Custom Roms to make it faster.
I'm delighted with 1.5 on sense UI as it is, still think its better over stock 2, but I do like pretty things, don't mind waiting a bit longer, maybe they will release it Christmas day
with the leaked 2.1 update to some of the devs, it just got more intense like.
Personally I think that the existence of a leaked "official HTC" 2.1 build for Hero is very encouraging. I'm sure we'll find out more about it over the next few days as those devs who have the build play around with it, but it shows that HTC are definitely working on it and that a release probably isn't too far away.
That being said, I'm personally still happy with the Hero's "sensified" Cupcake build anyway!

It's more like Donut, don't you think? CDMA support, gestures.. even Facebook integration from 2.0.
id prefer if they took an extra month or two if we could get some speed optimisations/memory optimisations on their lovely widgets
Just updated through Kies the official way (no registry patch or anything)
I haven't experienced any lag in the past one hour of use. And it feels definitely faster and more lightweight than JPO+voodoo5.01.
Did Samsung change the file system in JPY? Anyway, I am very happy with this firmware
Oh, Merry Christmas, everyone!

+1. I'm much happy with JPX. Is it worth to upgrade to JPY or wait for a gingerbread firmware (hope they don't release furthermore firmwares in froyo )

I really don't know why many people implies that stopping development of Froyo ROMs altogether, will guarantee a better or earlier Gingerbread build.
It makes no sense.
If there is a bug (and we've seen plenty of them in this 6 months) in Samsung version of Android Framework, or in Samsung's add-ons, drivers and own binaries, the chances that still will be in Gingerbread are very very high.
And tracking down, hunting, debugging and solving a bug is much easier on a relatively stable environment that in a entirely new (or much newer) build like the 1st Gingerbread Firmware.
Gingerbread will benefit from almost every bug found and solved in Samsung's Froyos.
I updatet before few days via KIES (reg-hack) to XXJPY and its still working very fast! only problem is the internet browser. its slower then on the XXJPX firmware.
Updated to JPY a few days ago using the kies patch. Phone seems faster and snappier than before.
Noticed apps which are already installed are arranged alphabetically...apps installed after update will be added at the end.
Got 1210 on quadrant with this stock firmware. Tested the GPS yesterday going from nottingham to birmingham using copilot 8.2. Still sucks. Lost GPS fix 6-7 times on a 55min journey.
Shortest losses were around 4-5 mins and the longest outage was around 15-20 mins.
Browser still shows squares when pinching to zoom.
Overall its a better experience than before but i need a solid fully functional GPS. May just have to keep returning the phone to orange UK until they get fed up and offer a different handset (make/model) as a replacement.
Shame though, i like this phone
http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/38311/android-2-4-april-release-date
in a move that shows there is some kind of cover-up of the mistake of the lack of Android 2.3 devices on the market (aside from the Nexus S) 2.4 will still be called Gingerbread, as the only new feature it adds will be this ability to support dual-core apps on a single-core device.
Click to expand...

Makes complete sense. Dev's are already using the honeycomb SDK to produce apps made for dual core devices. Google cares more about having the maximum number of apps to be available to as many people as possible rather than having a handful of consumers having the absolute latest edition (and I have to agree with them).
How many stock vanilla android devices are there? Just us and the NS (pretty sure no one gets OTA's the day of except us two). Getting an OS out there for everyone is more important then keeping a relatively small group happy with the latest official build. Besides, the N1 is meant for ROM's. Google want's us to play with them, which is why I own the phone. If you've been waiting for gingerbread, just flash a freaking ROM and be happy.
Gingerbread isn't even that great anyway.
AFAIK Gingerbread suffers different problems:
1. security
2. resets
IMHO google devs are working on them before pushing 2.3 on the nexus one too, making it vulnerable and unstable.

Yhea i did read about the resets in NS, i'm using GB on N1 but it never resets on it's own.

The resets may be an issue with the Nexus S hardware, and not with the OS. The Samsung Galaxy S phones have quite a few "issues", just ask any owner of a Captivate. I switched from the Captivate to a Nexus One, it is a much better phone.

I'm on CM7 and getting occasional random resets.
Google announced 27. January that OTA for Nexus S coming in 1-2 weeks, I don´t know why, but maybe we´ll see both Nexus One and Nexus S OTA.
I wish people would stop saying "just flash a GB ROM and be done with it", there's more to it than that. The N1 is sort of a reference design for alot of phones out there. A working N1 GB ROM means solid drivers, solid battery life, solid performance, etc.
I also have an HD2, it's running GB but the battery life (and BT stack in particular) is pretty poor. Devs say they won't be able to improve much until there are more GB ROMs they can pick parts from. First on that list is the N1.
There are more than just us Nexus One users tapping their fingers waiting for Google on this.

The "reset" issue is specific to the NS hardware. Samsung screwed the pooch on that one. There are plenty of people here running GB roms with out issue.
But I do believe the security flaws recently discovered to have a significant impact on GB's delayed release.

My N1 is running a GB ROM with solid battery life, and performance. I don't know about drivers but everything works perfectly and as it should. Almost like I am running an official build of GB. The reboot issue only seemed to occur on CM7.. oddly. And it wasn't frequent enough for me to care.
I thought the HD2 always had pathetic battery life when it came to Android. Mine's did, until I remembered to install SetCPU. It last all day, which is just what I need.
I mean the AOSP was released for gingerbread, so we can get some pretty stable ROM's. No it isn't as good as an official update, but if I wanted to wait for official updates, I would have bought a desire.
Now I'm not sure about this, but I think most ROM's that are cooked are built using the ASOP rather than modified stock ROM's. It isn't worth waiting and complaining for a 100% optimized OTA ROM when there are tons of temporary solutions.

I bought the N1 because it was great hardware and, most importantly, because it was carrier free. The ability to root and flash the phone is nice in case I ever feel the need to admin yet another Linux machine, but that was certainly not everyones reason for getting the phone.

I simply meant that we receive updates as soon as they are available, and are the first ones to get it. Desire has to wait for HTC to update sense and drivers and all that stuff until they release an OTA.

Touche, although there aren't many people on these forums with the same intentions. I was simply speaking to the masses.
I don't know why release is taking so long...
My N1 resets randomly on CM7.... but luckily I don't have the wonks!
Google will release it when its ready!
Hey all, tried searching the forum to make sure this already wasnt posted up, and found nothing, so here it goes!
While doing some homework on the latest official ICS release for the SGS2, came across a thread somebody linked up in the SGS2 forums regarding the new firmware release, with that was some new info on new firmware to come for the SGS1 and other devices by months end! Looks like this could be that "Value Pack" that was leaked/talked about some months back. Although not ICS, at least Samsung still have the First gen galaxy still in mind - Check the link from their Facebook page! Apologies if this is already posted up somewhere, if not, go nuts peeps and start getting excited i guess

Good spot!
Wonder if it will be enough for people to switch back from the various custom roms, doubt it though. I'm happy with MIUI until phone upgrade time comes around.

Majority of people with SGS are not on custom roms so it's good for them I guess.

Not in this case.... If they do the same as with the ICS of SGS2, (but without ICS, just their crapy mod) you better look for a good custom ICS or enjoy gingerbread for the rest of you life...! Seriously, aosp ICSSGS works tremendously, you can consider it almost as stock ROM, and forget about Samsung and their ****...
Not to mention some carriers like Bell here in Canada are unlikely to push another update. Pretty sure they will leave it with the crappy 2.3.3 rom.
It may be interesting to see what they come up with but I doubt it will compare to ICS ports like ICSSGS. The big question will be lag and UI jerkiness: ICSSGS has almost none, it's night and day compare to any of the 2.1-2.3.x Samsung roms I've run.
It's probably just referring to the official release of the JVU value pack.

More than likely. But its been some time since that leaked, so no doubt the bugs that were present should be ironed out hopefully by now!

I can almost guarantee there wont be an update for carrier branded variants around the globe, just too much work for them in their eyes to deliver updates when they can sell something new an updated, and continue with the same cycle! Just look at the US, all the variants for each carrier and pretty much no love which has to suck! Whereas this news relates to unbranded handsets, which gets looked after just fine IMHO. Ok, updates arent always flying through but who really cares, as long as it works! I have an unlocked i9000 (euro version) and am now on the official JW1 (via kies) and have not had a single problem what so ever! But ill take whatever update that comes. If it keeps my SGS kicking till the S3 arrives, then im happy. Just good to hear Samsung is taking this stuff seriously. Again may not be ICS but still good on them for doing something. People can keep blaming Samsung for lack of updates, but most that do that are on branded handsets and should be hounding their carriers for an update!

really, 2.3.3? That's insulting! Could they pick any worse firmware to stick to? Anyway, carrier policy it's always hilarious... Why on earth has the galaxy mini better firmware than the galaxy S? (I know the answer, rhetorical question!)

Anyway, I don't think those customers will care at all... Cause if they cared, they wouldn't hesitate to flash any custom... I just think this value pack is useless whatsoever.
