In 2008 when I purchased the G1 I was making myself a part of a community that I did not know would grow to be as large as it has. I am not entirely sure any of us knew. Through the Android community, I have learned many things. I have also learned that people are [...]
![HTC G1 Gets Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Port [Courtesy of XDA]](http://androidheadlines.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/htc-g-gets-android-ice-cream-sandwich-port-courtesy-of-xda_e-dx_0-300x157.jpg)
It seems that some crafty developer has set out to prove Google and HTC wrong by showing them that it is possible to run ICS on devices that have “incompatible hardware”. Some fella going by the name jcarrz1 over at XDA has posted a video showing the oldschool HTC G1 of all devices, running a [...]
3 years may not sound like much in people years but in smartphone years — that’s like Clint Eastwood status. It was 3 years ago today that the G1 was unveiled unto the world and started a revolution. T-Mobile reminded everyone of the joyous occasion via their Twitter profile and I can’t believe how far [...]
I’ve been in favor of rooting and romming since the inception of Android. I did it on my G1 and then when I upgraded to my Nexus one it was the same thing, but now I think I find myself coming full circle. I’d rather not have to root and ROM to get my phone [...]
What does the future hold for Android- Software-wise, everybody is waiting for Ice Cream Sandwich to be released sometime before the end of 2011. Hardware-wise, ití¢Â€Â™s anyoneí¢Â€Â™s guess, however looking at the past of Android hardware can reveal some clues as to whatí¢Â€Â™s to come. The first generation of Android devices, such as the G1, were [...]
I Am An Android Activist What is an Android activist- Is it the ability to push Android to anyone, an unquenchable thirst for everything android, or a happy mix of both- In my experience since I bought my first G1, I have have gone through many phases. At one point I would have called myself [...]
What a long way we’ve come since 2008. We started out with a single device (the G1) that had a slow processor and below average build quality… and look at how much Android has grown in the last two and a half years. We now have incredible devices like the HTC Sensation 4G and Samsung [...]
It does not matter what OS you champion. Nobody can deny that Android has grown exponentially in the last two and a half years. We went from slow devices like the G1 and MyTouch 3G to blazing fast dual-core phones and tablets like the Sensation 4G and Galaxy Tab 10.1. All in a very short [...]
If you’re not familiar with a developer named HtcClay, you’re missing out. I have always been impressed with his ROMs, including the work he did on the G1 back in the day. SuperCM7 is no different. It is based on Cyanogen’s CM7 Gingerbread ROMs, with some extra theme-ing and coloring done by Htcclay. He updates [...]
It has been 2 years since we saw the release of the first Android phone, the HTC Dream. This phone spawned the likes of the G1, myTouch 3g, and it played a big part in the development of almost every phone on the market today. It has been a long run for the Dream, considering [...]
Even though it’s been clearly stated that Honeycomb (Android 3.0) is designed for tablets only, it’s inevitable that developers will continue to attempt to port it to phones, right? We’ve already seen a very, very early port of it running (if you can call it that) on the Droid Incredible Desire HD, and Evo 4G; [...]
It is safe to say that Android is growing at astronomical rates and is on its way to smartphone dominance. Google released Android on the world in 2008 and set very ambitious goals for the project. This Mission: to make Android the most ubiquitous mobile platform the world over, all while bringing the web to the mobile [...]
It seem s like T-mobile is try ing to make a name for itself and has made several moves to trademark names such as the G1 Blaze, G2, G1 Rocket and the name Blaze by itself. It is not uncommon for phone companies to trademark names and never use them but with the current rumor [...]
Sounds like tongues are wagging after a T-Mobile regional meeting held to discuss the latest phones set to launch by the company. Several trustworthy sources are telling of T-Mobile’s first HSPA+ device which, for now, is slated to be named the G2, a successor to the popular G1. The G2 is said to come out [...]
We’re not really sure what to make of this, but one of our eagle eyed forum members found a link to an existing T-Mobile site offering signups for notifications regarding their upcoming HSPA+ device. Unfortunately we don’t know where the link originated from or who to credit for the find but in this case, we’re [...]
Today marks the end of an era for Android. The HTC made T-Mobile G1 is no longer available from T-Mobile’s online store. Compared to today’s lineup for Android phones, the G1’s 528 MHz processor, 3.2 inch display, and Android 1.6 OS seem outdated and obsolete. With new phones like the HTC G1 Blaze set to [...]
A new leaked picture of the rumored HTC Vision has made it’s way into the wild via engadget.This is new clean crisp photo of the device from a tipster.The device is clearly branded with the T-Mobile logo on it that supports earlier claims that this phone will arrive on TMO Network but questions still arise [...]
The long-awaited first beta (release candidate) of CyanogenMod 6 is available for download on the HTC Nexus One, Dream, and Magic devices as of 10:15PST this evening. While Cyanogen’s site is experiencing some seriously debilitating traffic, we’ve managed to get links to all the downloads for those of you eagerly awaiting a taste of what [...]
CyanogenMod 6 has finally landed, giving the HTC Magic and Dream a taste of Froyo. While a few other ROM developers have been releasing some of their beta builds on Android 2.2 for the two phones, the CyanogenMod team is the first to deliver a nearly perfect build to the public. For those already running [...]

The G1 has already received Android 2.2 thanks to some hard working hackers, but there is still an outside chance that T-Mobile could upgrade the device over the air. Before I get your hopes up, just remember T-Mobile has the final say on firmware upgrades and their official response for the last couple of months has [...]
