Android 2.2 and Flash 10.1 coming May 20
Google I/O is preparing for unveiling of Android 2.2(FroYo) to the pulic. We also predicted that Android 2.2 is coming with Flash 10.1 and the announcing date will be May 20th. Given that Flash 10.1 is tied to Froyo, this bodes well for a joint announcement.
Following the day of Google I/O, there are several Android sessions scheduled for the afternoon that are listed as TBA. They likely have no topic because they are related to Android features that have not been publicly announced. Google did this at last year’s I/O when they revealed Google Wave on the second day and directly followed it up with a series of sessions.
We also hopeful that first gene device will get an upgrade as well. A new version of the Market was pictured on a myTouch 3G with Android 2.2 and we have been told all first gen U.S. phones will eventually be upgraded. Actually, Google has stopped selling their ADP1 (HTC Dream) so maybe that device is on the way out.

CyanogenMod brings Android 2.1 to G1 and myTouch 3G
For your hacked G1 or myTouch 3G there are lots of custom ROMs based off Android 2.1 for the HTC Dream and Magic for awhile now, but most were not fully working.
After several weeks of a lot of hard work, the team behind CyanogenMod is close to releasing a public beta of their latest ROM – version CM 5.0.7 Ds. The new ROM is finally using Android 2.1 and includes many of the enhancements found in the CyanogenMod for Nexus One.
Android 2.1 will fit onto the myTouch 3G (HTC Magic) with no problems, but it will not fit on the G1 (HTC Dream) without some modifications (damn those pesky storage limitations). G1 users must install the infamous DangerSPL which re-partitions the NAND flash inside the device. If you have never flashed the DangerSPL, the guys on the CyanogenMod forum are putting up a how-to guide.
First time hackers might just want to wait a few weeks and see what Google reveals at I/O on May 19-20. For all we know, Android 2.2 could magically appear for some first gen phones.
Our friend @kmobs is back with another video giving a quick walk through of the new test ROM on a G1. It looks like one of our shirts found its way to his desk.
