Android Community

Indeed it is broken, might wanna check that out real quick. But I'm glad to see you're on top of things now. You are posting Android news very quickly now. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the link tip guys; the auto-forum feature doesn't seem to like it when there are links in the first paragraph of frontpage news articles. Gets it all confused.

As ever, if you spot anything you think should be on the frontpage of AC, drop me (and the rest of the team) a tip: http://androidcommunity.com/send-tips/

This is awesome... I wonder when we're getting this

yea thats just sick

All I can say is SEXY!!

I can't wait to flash this!

I think I have to believe these leaks are on purpose. With the palm pre and iphone 3.0 coming soon. It would make sense to build fresh hype for Android.

this looks promising...

Rosie? They're departing from the baked goods codenames? I was hoping the next release after "Donut" would be "Scone" or "Waffle" or something. :-)

Haha but i wanted chocolate cake!

This isn't a google OS branch, this is HTC made.

drool.................

my guess is this is not actually a refresh of Android, but rather just an HTC customization of it. looks incredible but I won't hold my breathe on it coming to the G1(officially)

Android becomes organic. Sleek touches to the UI.

Looking forward to it.

On a side note, I believe that even less advanced users would need root access back. It would be good that once Android becomes choppy user could kill (i.e. remove from memory) an app that is taking up memory and hogging the system.

Cheers!

Even though I don't like eye-candy and prefer simple over "creative" (which I sometimes see as a synonym for cluttered), even I must admit -- that looks pretty slick.

When is this coming out and what version is it?

Seriously though... I am like crying with joy right now... Was the video shot using the Hero or the G1? If that was the hacked ROM than I think we're good to go

I know right! Google couldn't possibly have had a hand in creating that masterpiece. It must be all HTC

Per the final paragraph from the short article...

Actually after "Donut" is "Eclair". And thats not even a joke.

It looks abit like palm pre os,but I can't wait for it ...

Those are the 'nicknames' for GOOGLE builds of the Android OS.

Jace, some will just never get it.....

Yep, I agree.( the 'bookmark' page !!)

Mockup. Mark my words. I know people will hate me for saying it. But this is not a "leaked demo of a build". It's an animated design mockup.

Mockup or not, I guess we will just have to wait and see. If it does turn out to be reality though, it will be very nice indeed.

Looks to me like HTC is moving away from so many hardware buttons with this one. Looks like most of those functions have been moved to the screen.

Hmmm well I am pretty sure now that our home screen wont be looking like the one in the video, but there are vids with people showing the actual G1 run the apps.

Very nice...

I don't think most people realize what it really means for Android to be open source. You're going to start seeing the phone makers make heavy customizations and probably adopt their own look and feel for their line of phones. The UI may become unique to each manufacturer. Whats even more interesting is that developers can do some of these things independent of the manufacturers. It may take some work but I'm willing to bet based on some of the things I see in aHome that you could start to approach this level of look and feel right now. With the ability to root phones and change the firmware at will (don't know if that will be the case for future phones) we'll almost always be able to take advantage of the new features out there. This has got to add up to one of the most customizable phone platforms out there PERIOD.

And just another note on that UI. IPhone and Pre are dead if that hits the streets any time soon.

That why I love Android, it is constantly evolving. Who can even guess how good it will be in a couple years

Hahaha, we've been waiting MONTHS for the little tiny Cupcake update and people are asking when THIS will come out? Lets be real with ourselves...

Expectations usually lead to disappointment.

Enjoy what you have now. It'll come when it comes.

Damn I'm sickkkk.
