Probably not...

But the fact remains that, eventually, the Android base code will grow too large for the G1's tiny amount of system memory to handle. The G1's system partition is just 69120 kb in size, while Android 1.6 is 68800 kb in size. It's clear that the G1 barely had enough space to handle Donut, which makes the question of whether or not it will have enough space for 2.0 very valid.

Who's using an Android ROM on a HTC Touch 3G?

Hi. I have not looked as I am sleep deprived due to being a second time father this week

I am looking at an HTC tattoo. I had a touch cruze and love it, but its a bit too much phone and did not take well to being bathed in juice. Where can I find good info on it and what do you all think on it?

Specific questions.
Does it take a decent picture? The cruse was crap.
Will it feel like an upgrade from the cruse?
Now the hard one: Can I get it in English in Tawan or do I have to flash it again?

Second time being a father this week?

Good lord. You don't play around.

Well, actually you do.

There is android 2.0 roms on xda for the G1 already(I havnt try any, because they are way too unstable at this point and a lot things just not working), but when the source code is released and cyanogen starts releasing roms based of android 2.0, then I will be using it for sure.

Also from your source

"Version 2.0 will fit without problem on the G1. The SDK emulator rom released is only a few Mb too large, and will likely fit ok with a few simple optimisations. the 1.6 SDK emu rom was the same and the offical release was shrunk to fit.

Even if it doesnt fit and an offical 2.0 for G1 is not released by t-mobile, a community release will be possible using a adp/rooted phone, and by keeping parts of the OS stored on a SD memory card."

It fits on the G1 and it runs, but have you seen the videos? It's painfully slow, so slow that I think even after optimization it would be a pain to use.

That being said, I'd love to have 2.0 without getting a new phone. Although the Droid looks awfully tasty

i believe the g1's internal memory isnt large enough to fit 2.0 but i read it "could" with a few optimizations.
