Android 2.0 on T-Mobile G1 (aka HTC Dream) [Video]
SlashGear — Android 2.0 may only have been officially announced last week, but don’t underestimate the speed of the open-source community.  They’ve already got a basic install of the new OS running on the original HTC Dream (aka the T-Mobile G1); it’s not optimized yet, which means the handset chugs along rather than whipping through the pages like we’re finding on the Verizon DROID by Motorola, but it’s certainly working. Video demo after the cut Right now the build also lacks the Android Market and the usual Google Apps, and there’s no way of adding new apps to the handset.  As we ...

Video: Android 2.0 Running on T-Mobile G1 aka HTC Dream [Android]
Gizmodo — Android 2.0 only came out last week, but the open-source community has already ported it the T-Mobile G1 / HTC Dream, the first Android phone. Check it out: Props go to coder, Akira Harada, for the port, but it's just a sluggish preview at this point. If you're super keen, you can download the code for your G1 here, but you're probably better off just watching the video below and waiting for Cyanogen to cook up a fully functional Android 2.0 Éclair ROM. [HDBlog.it (translated) via SlashGear] ...

Android 2.0 ported to the aging G1
CrunchGear — Forget about updating your G1 to Motoblur, go all the way with a little Android 2.0 action. Hells yeah. The official Android update was ported to the G1 by some ambitious coders. Now, calm down until you see the video after the jump as the early build doesn’t exactly run all that well on the one year old phone. But you have to start somewhere. [via hdblog.it]

Android 2.0 Ported to T-Mobile G1
Gadget Venue — Android 2.0 is almost upon us with the launch of the new Motorola Droid. However, someone has already managed to port the new operating system to the older T-Mobile G1 / Dream. The port isn’t the greatest to be honest as it was just a direct port with no optimisation at all, but we’ll forgive them for that as it was achieved before the official launch. Although we say it’s not very well optimised it still actually runs quite well although a bit jerky on screen transitions. Although not available now to port to your rooted G1, I expect that someone over on XDA forums will create a ROM with it soon for G1 owners, so keep an eye out ...

G1 Owners To Get Android 2.0 Love?
TmoNews - Unofficial T-Mobile Blog - News, Videos, Articles and more — Android users still rockin’ a T-Mobile G1 it looks like there’s hope!

Android 2.0 includes many new features such as the new Turn-By-Turn Google directions in their Google Map Application, confirmed to be preinstalled in the new 2.0 software. However, where does that leave current G1 owners? Well looks like you may not miss all the fun after all. Referencing the video above, some developer has managed to port Android 2.0 (Eclair) over to the G1. Before ...

Video: HTC Dream (G1) gets an Android 2.0 port
Tech Ticker —   So what do you do when you know the first ever Android device’s chances to get an official Android 2.0 are slim (actually, non-existent). But of course, port it yourself. Modder Akira Harada took the task in his own hands to port the Android 2.0 Eclair SDK on his rooted G1. The build as you’ll see is ...

Android 2.0 on the HTC Dream
Technology News — Operating System Android 2.0 reported only this week, but thanks to the free flow, enthusiasts have applied it to the devices on which it is not really expected. Italian experts were able to establish a basic version of the Eclair on the smartphone HTC Dream (also known as T-Mobile G1). System is incomplete and expect the same quick-work both at Motorola Droid is not necessary, ...

Android 2.0 ported to the G1/Dream
Boy Genius Report — A mere two days after its release, Android 2.0 SDK has already been ripped from the womb and ported over to a T-Mobile G1. Currently in the most crude state possible, the cooked ROM runs as quickly as Babe Ruth did at his heaviest (and drunkest).The mere fact it’s able to run without melting the G1 and its 192MB of RAM, though, should give hope that the fine folks over at XDA-Developers will be able iron out enough wrinkles to make it usable as a daily driver. The only question is will G1/Dream and myTouch 3G/Magic users be treated to some delicious Eclairs like Hero users, or will they be stuck stuffing their faces with Donuts? We’re ...

Android 2.0 funcionando en un HTC Dream
Gizmología — Después de la presentación de Google Maps Navigation hay algo que no se puede negar: todos queremos el Motorota DROID. Lo peor de todo es que no lo queremos porque el teléfono tenga unas características excepcionales, sino simplemente por la innovación del sistema de Google que, además, es el primero completamente gratuito (además será el primero en permitirnos utilizar Android 2.0). Por ese motivo ahora todos quieren que sus teléfonos funcionen con la nueva versión del sistema operativo de Google que es, lamentable pero entendible desde un punto de ...

Google Navigation on G1
TmoNews - Unofficial T-Mobile Blog - News, Videos, Articles and more — While the Motorola Droid, which is currently exclusive to Verizon in the US, may not be your cup of tea, there is no doubt that it has features that previous Android devices have yet to gain.  This is all, of course, because it boasts Android 2.0, or the tasty Éclair edition.  Well, it was only a matter of time before somebody did some fancy ROM tweaking and got Eclair and Google Navigation to work on the G1.  While neither of these experiences are perfectly optimized, reports have said that they are at least not horrible.  There are more pictures after the break and a video of Android 2.0 running on the G1.  Leave your thoughts in the ...
