Why was the Epic not released with Froyo

Why did that not have froyo on the phone when it was released? Froyo was out for a while before the phone was released, so does anybody have any idea why they didn't start out with froyo? Did they like ecairs better than ice cream? Who knows?

Because they didn't.

The development cycles on these phones is 6 or 7 months if not longer. When they started on the phone, FroYo probably wasn't to manufacturers yet. It is not easy at all to change course with software projects. And incredibly expensive to chunk everything that you have and start over. So they build it on eclair, and work on FroYo when its released, also you have all of the politics involved about which phones in your lineup gets updated, how many developers to put on each piece of hardware. I don't think most people realize the amount of planning that goes into any software written for profit. You'd probably **** your self if you saw some of my Gantt Charts, time lines, flow charts and other various wastes of paper that are done before a single line of code is typed (with the exception of prototyping) You can't just take a leap and start coding, switch gears 11 times, then hope to ever hit a deadline or budget. There isn't a lot of cost in the actual product of software, but the minds that power it are not cheap labor.

Come on already who cares about gingerbread? Ics is the new flavor fav of the month

Let's face it once google announced the ics as the next version of android why do some people still want gb when ics can be leaked and used on our phones. Google needs to be the one doing the updates not the carriers and phone makers. Google should open a beta and prebeta builds to all who want them.

i vote to ban this prick
could you people please stop answering him like anything he says is serious?

For someone who's been around since the 70's you seem to not understand the development life cycle of a product to be expecting such an asinine thing to happen.
Using win7 (retail) to win8 (alpha) argument proves your failure to grasp that.
BTW, i love how decad3nce pwned your last post. LOL

Because to us Gingerbread is the most important release ever! Gingerbread was made with Hummingbird in mind..ICS is a huge improvement for dual core phones..while we definitely get some new features, you would not notice such huge performance increases as you do with Gingerbread.

Locked. OP, check your pm's.

Please don't pass on information on this site, no one is interested.
One of the most popular threads is the off topic lounge for a reason.

I was just teasing, trying to get mattykinsx to take the bait. You can also ignore this post-whore who seems to hate xda so much but yet trolls the forums 24/7 looking for people who don't agree with him so he can use bolded words and such.
Sorry to use your thread for this mischievous purpose.

[email protected]
Seriously, though, starting a thread with just a link and no commentary or opening salvo for a discussion is a tad weak. And I believe that, as has already been discussed, the unlock bootloader tool will only work on certain phones, and the EVO 4G is not one of them.
I don't particularly care, since I don't want to register my phone with HTC along with the fact that I've potentially voided my warranty. That can stay between me and my friends at XDA.
Finally, I will be curious to see how this Sense Developer gambit pays off. Are people really going to devote time to developing Sense-specific apps and widgets? I support that some developers worked on apps for the PlayBook too, so anything is possible.

@MaxCarnage
Thanks for the lols. I did think to myself that the post was a bit lacking, but it's not hard to click the link. As you said, however, it's kind of pointless for the EVO4G right now, except maybe the Sense SDK might allow for some nifty things.
I wish HTC would make the source code page easier. Look it up by device or something. A huge list of random source code postings is fine when it's short like it is now, but it's only going to grow. Yea yea... CTRL-F is my friend...

Actual yes it is. If you were here long enough and loved the community, yes its called for

No its not. Nobody gives a crap that a user got a new device. Nobody cares that you are now going to posting on another forum on the same site. If all these people cared about the community or whatever you're implying that can still read and post and contribute to the nexus s forum or any other forum for that matter.
There is a reason these threads got locked and deleted all the time. They are stupid/pointless and nobody gives a crap.

I'd say the only time it's called for is when someone's absence will affect the community in some way. I don't think this is the case here.
I'd even say that this is relevant:

I agree. Say Mathkid or Fergie left, I think a thread like this would then be appropriate, y'know?
