Official froyo 2.2!!!

Hey forum,
Well its official...i work for at&t and woke up to an email in my outlook that samsung is waiting for the final approval before the end of the month!! It seems the release date has been changing weekly. I originally had asked the head honcho samsung telecommunications rep (whose name I will leave un said) on saturday and didn't expect such a quick response.
Well there you have it forum its on the way!! and the 2.3 rumor is false.
As I'm not suppose to leak this proprietary information....i can't help myself

Hey Mac, I doubt that many people know that Missouri is the "Show Me" state.
And no offense to EvilSpawn, in fact I appreciate that he is willing to share his experience and knowledge with us, but as a fellow Missourian, I'll have to see it to believe it.

i would think that if you could show this much, you could paste the text of the email... but even that doesn't prove anything.
After all, Samsung has always said "By the end of the year" so your email doesn't tell us anything new.

Actually, if legit, it tells us there will be no delay. I, for one, appreciate hearing that.

No problem guys...I'm just excited hearing it from the source and not a rumor.....they usually fill us in right before so we are aware...none the less atleast it will be an official and not a buggy leak for devs to work with.....and the bloatware? Just remove it

This would be understood if samsung had the ok on the release...but as the email says "samsung is waiting for final approval" meaning there waiting for at&t...so samsung has no blame.

Thats why I'm waiting for it

I would love to know which "buggy" froyo leaks people on the forums are talking about. The worst 2.2 beta that I have put on my phone is 1000 times better than the "final" builds that Samsung has put out. JH7 in particular is pure garbage (maybe not with bugs but it's features are neutered).
Bottom line, if anyone is still waiting for Froyo you deserve to wait as long as it takes them to crap out your bloated AT&T neutered froyo. I'll eat my keyboard if they put usb tether back in and don't cripple wifi tether so you have to pay for it.

I, along with most people, are excited for the official release because that means source code follows shortly after. When the source code is released it means all sorts of stable roms, and tweaks to existing roms.
I really don't see why you and other people get so heated over other people wanting this released. I imagine by your attitude that you're running a custom rom. If that is the case there is no doubt you have flashed multiple beta releases of multiple roms and have had some issues along the way.

It's amazing how people are not able to see that an official release is beneficial to the custom ROM community as well.

It's really not that I have a particular disdain for the official release but honestly I'm just an end user I don't have a huge problem with a memory leak if the browser is fast and I don't care about quadrant benchmarks etc. I don't really know what those things are or what they measure. What I do care about is removed features and willful crippling of the OS. The source code just means the rom devs will need to put out a few crappy buggy versions of their roms while they try to figure out how to "fix" all the crap samsung and AT&T broke. I saw it with JH7 I don't think froyo will be any different.

New Update Today, Changed my Boot Animation

New update today. When it finished and it restarted, The boot animation is now diff. The clouds come up and the Thunderbolt Logo forms, but now it stays and doesn't unform itself. Looks a lot Nicer.
On top of that there is some new VZW Data Widget.

Welcome to the future.

What ads? I dont see them
(I have the adservers added in my hosts file, it's far easier than complaining). I would normally show the ads for sites I support, but when they get to be too much, I can't deal with it. I had to sadly do same thing when Stack Overflow a while ago when they wouldn't do anything about the obviously targeted and over saturated Microsoft ads they had everywhere. It was so bad you could search for "gnu linux opensource" and it would still bomb you with microsoft bs.
Sometime after November 2012, I'll unblock them again . I would post the adserver names, but the powers that be might not like that. However, it's not hard to right click -> view source and find things.
I don't think xda controls their own adservers and thus, does not control the ad content (google/doubleclick ads and maybe some other, cant remember). That's slightly different than stack overflow, where they did control it, so one could say xda is slightly less at fault.

It's a gradual rollout, not everyone gets it at the same time. And if she thinks the Tbolt is a POS, maybe she should exchange it for an iphone or blackberry. Or you could root it for her and slap a custom rom & kernel on it, and you wouldn't hear her ***** & moan about it anymore

Or you could quit waiting on verizon and just put the signed OTA from verizon on yourself. It would take like a few minutes of finding the post in the developers forum and then a few more to flash it in the bootloader.
Being on xda and waiting for an ota from verizon when the same signed ota that would work for non rooted phones is on here = sad panda
there's no way a hour's worth of reading (if you really cant figure it out) is worse than hearing her complain

I offered to root it for her, but she didn't want me to. To each their own lol. Well, tbh, the 5-6 reboots per day, plus the extreme lagginess at times just really make her mad seeing as how she paid $250 for it and its her first android phone. I can understand her anger at it, especially since whenever we talk to Verizon they just throw up their hands and say they can't do anything about, thanks for your 250 bucks.

I dont think you understood what I meant. You dont have to root her phone to give her the latest OTA update.

The full RUU for upcoming Thunderbolt OTA update has been released thanks to Jcase/TeamAndIRC and Android Police. This is a Froyo release, hopefully the last one. This is for non-rooted users and will wipe all of your data. It is highly recommended that you do not flash over a rooted phone. Hold out for Jcase to release the rooted version soon. I have it available to download off my http server below and you can see the original sources below. Didn't see anyone start a thread for this yet.

You have to pay to download the app from the Team Black Hat website. New leaks from TBH are exclusive to paid supporters through the app for about 48 hours before general release.

or somebody with the app can dl then upload it here tonight its a official leak and p3 didnt create it. so he really has no rights to it thous making it suitable for anybody to re-upload.....just saying. why wait?

i really hate that it's no longer on the marketplace. bought the app way back on my droid x, and now that my credit card got cancelled i'm always out of luck on new releases. :l

I'm thinking of trying this out tonight.

To anyone that installed EP3:
Does EP3 have new radios? The EP1W has better signals, but I get that "data dropping" issue that people have been complaining about since this phone was released. I never got that on the EE4 radio.

Everyone hold your horses. Imnuts has a copy that came from another source and he tweeted if you wait until tomorrow he will have infinityrom with the ep3 base. Much worth the wait instead of getting it stock.

no actually i don't see anything wrong with this statement. but I am a bit surprised you do. So you are saying you see nothing wrong with somebody profiting from somebody else work that in reality its work they stole? we can call it a "leak" but none of us actually own it. We didn't create it. So by taking it, we stole it. No different then dl a "leak" movie work print. except p3 is charging for ppl to dl it a little early. Personally i think its a despicable practice but that's my 2 cents.
Look at it this way. Devs pass out custom roms that they work very hard to give us. They often pass them around irc for testing purposes. So lets say Imnuts or team gummy gives you a copy of their newest rom for you to test. You in return upload it to another server and charge ppl to dl early befor they release it. P3 is doing the same exact thing. You see nothing wrong with that?

Man these things come out fast. I'm just gonna stay on my Gummy 2.0 until the Nexus Prime is released and get rid of this phone.

Yep, we had this argument with most of the Charge users a few months back and it was like 60% in favor of it being bull$hit that P3 profits from stolen leaks. I personally don't agree with his tactics but we already had this huge discussion which ended pretty badly and abruptly. He got the favor in the end because he threatened everyone that he would stop giving us these leaks.

don't get me wrong I'm not saying P3 right or wrong....just saying too wrongs don't make it right...that's my point....

I just hope that nobody here is stupid enough to buy the app simply for early access to this leak. Aside from providing a leak a few hours earlier than the general public, the app is abso-****ing-lutely useless. Its an app that you buy solely for the purpose of obtaining the latest software for your phone? As the site says, the software provided is "sometimes leaked." So thats basically saying that they'll give you what you get from buying your phone or after receiving ota updates anyway, for a small fee of 2.99. And after looking at the site, its clear that team blackhat is just after a few bucks, and instead of making that money like most good devs do (by producing roms/mods/kernels/apps, and relying on donations made to support their work, or by selling useful apps on an app market), they try to dupe you out of a few bucks by offering you what you already have access to simply by coming here or going to other popular android forums. Or they'll unlock your droid pro or droid 2 global for 100 dollars, and for an extra 25 bucks, they'll even provide the shipping! Wow!
Don't buy the app for this leak. Wait a few hours and get it for free. Or wait a few hours more, and get a custom rom all tweaked up and debloated for free.

Is EP3 the 2.3.5 leak?

Drivers, yes. Bootloaders, not really.
Jobless for 6 months, and now under heavy load to help a startup company get going, I've just been too slammed to get moving further. I've talked with TheLastSidekick about sending him his phone back, but he declined and said I could hang on to it a bit longer.
Either way, I'm hoping after a few more bills get paid off (from being out of work so long), that I'll be able to buy an sk4g for me to experiment with hardware modifications to get an sk4g dev phone. Mostly because I don't want to mess up TLS's sidekick.
I've also had some problems with porting sk4g to the teamacid sgs4g 2.6.35.7 kernel. Not that it isn't possible, I'm just short on time. If you know how to hack on kernels, have a usb uart, and an sk4g, let me know. I can share code and builds.
I don't have time to teach kernel development, you'll have to wait for xda-university to come online for that.
So to answer the OP's question: It's being worked on, but very slowly. Sorry about that. I'm still waiting on my time machine to come in the mail so I can stop time and get everything done at once.

Has anyone else noticed this. I havent seen it on the forums yet.
Does anyone one know if anyone is actively trying to port this from the Gnex?
It looks buttery smooth

I just read through this article and it looks really cool. I have been an ubuntu user for a long time on PC and I am very excited to see this. I only wish I had a Nexus4 to try it out. Hope to see it ported!!

Its not even on the nexus 4 its currently on the galaxy nexus.

I would be shocked if it came out as anything but open source. As far as getting source goes who knows. I am just looking forward to checking out a new OS.

I agree with you on both points my big issue is I don't like waiting games. If its going to be open source drop it and let the fun begin lol.

someone on the GNEX general page also has a post up, they claim that canonical will be releasing images in the next few weeks.
Im hoping our Devs catch wind of this and help with the digging/porting. I dont assume any huge hurdles outside of it only being gsm 3g and losing buttons as Ubuntu needs no physical keys outside of volume power.
most are claiming that once the image is released that it shouldnt be more difficult than a simple cwm flash.
