Android 2.0 Eclair running on my rooted G1 =D
Looks like Verizon's Motorola Droid isn't gonna be the 1st phone to have Android 2.0 =D
This is actually the Android 2.0 SDK ported (very roughly) over to the G1/Dream from Akira Harada.
If you're excited as I am for Android 2.0 Eclair then this is a great way to get a preview of what it will be like (not necessarily how it will perform).
As soon as Cyanogen gets the source code he will cook up a fully functional ROM again, BIG UPS to Akriah for making this preview possible. =)
Once again, this is just a PREVIEW. There are NO Google apps, NO Market, NO way of installing apps... Its just so you can get a feel for the look and some of the features of 2.0 Eclair. =)
As you can see from the video, visually, some things have changed. I feel like Google makes their stuff open source to see what other people do with it, then they kinda "bite off" what is done better.
For instance, some of the new icons are very similar to HTC's skinning of Android using Sense UI. The new 2.0 also has almost the same transition animation when returning to the home screen as Hero. The same green highlights can also be found strewn about the new firmware update... Now, they are taking a lot of the features from Moto Blur and having a sort of Universal inbox and integrating a lot of social networking sites into your contacts and such.
