Well..I learned a long time ago never to rush things..and getting a new update is factored in with that. I'll wait and see what changes (good or bad) AT&T has added to this before I flash it..If they can make it so our phones are completely locked I am sure they will try..I might root mine before hand and then back up what I have already..and then just play the wait and see game..

Meh I already have it....and I will wait for a developer to mod the "official" release. no way will I load A Samsung/ATT release...They could disable a lot things that keep the device flash able.

You already have the official Froyo release? And you're an AT&T subscriber?

+1 to that, screw the bloat-ware updates that will just mess more things up than were fixed. Been running dev roms since day 2 on this phone and I won't ever go back to service provider/manufacturer provided crap again. And Froyo does kick *ss on Eclair.

"official" I get. Since "official" has already been cooked a ton of times, why even mention it in a thread about an official release? And why mention "Meh I already have it"? Guess all those writing classes I took were wasted. I need to not be so darned literal when I read something around here...

^This!!!
I think everyone who has read this understands what he was saying. as in i have 2.2 right now so he can wait till someone mods the official release when its released, not that difficult.
true, i just rooted and working on uploadingthe froyo rom let's see how that goes!
Like I said too..I'll wait and see if anything is disabled or locked down..If it isn't..then I'll load it and run it and benchmark it and wait patiently till this is done for 2.2 and our Captivate..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821397..Nothing wrong IMHO with the way mines running right now..and giving it a week or so to see if there are any issues crop up isn't no big deal to me..

I love rumors, to bad they don't have anything to make this rumor more believable then others.
Hopefully there is some truth to it all.

"As you probably know last Month that Samsung pulled-out the froyo Update files of the Samsung Galaxy S from its servers due to Many System Bugs that Made the Android froyo unstable and laggy."
And the picture shows this is still for the I9000.
Just release the source code all ready and let DG do his magic!
ATT releases scary!

I feel the same way. With the differences between the stock and the 2.1 rom's I've used, I can't believe ATT sent this phone out as it was.
Course, the Captivate has been nothing but problems for me since day one. (Lines in the OLED and they refused to take it back, speaker failure, laggy, etc.)
The unofficial roms have helped, (particulaly the 1.2 GHz OC'd one from September, and the EXT4 lagfix.) I'm holding out for the official 2.2's and hoping they will fix things, but I'm very concerned about what all ATT will do with them.
If it fixes my VPN issue (I can't get any 2.x version to work with our Cisco VPN's) I'll probably at least try stock 2.2.
When is the official relese for Captivate? Early 2011?

With the Captivate's problem list a mile long, this Froyo update better be a miracle-worker.
Anyone else notice the picture in that article says "November, 2011"? 2011, not 2010... lol.
Only 375 days to go until Froyo 2.2! Whoooooohooooo!
Yeah I'll stick with Cognition and not hold my breath.
Wait im confused Haha, is it this year and they accidentally put 2011 or what?

I ran through the fascinate threads a bit and it looks like they are supposed to get an OTA Update to Froyo like today or sometime this week.
I know we have a Gingerbread AOSP ROM in the making, but my question is, once they have like themes and roms and stuff for their Froyo, what is the likelihood of us getting some ports?
I figure since most of our theme roms at least are ports from the Fascinate, we would be able to port more.

Technically possible. I even saw a thread where someone changed their Mesmerize into a Fascinate (it's the same hardware) but that's messy stuff so I wouldn't recommend just jumping into something like that if you don't know what you're doing.
However, I think the priority right now is to get 2.3 up and running which is, arguably, a lot better.
Yeah I agree with you on the last part. I was thinking about going through the whole "Fascinate your Mesmerize" think but it doesn't really seem worth it.

Can't wait for the source to drop.
The source is the most important thing
Maybe some good roms will come out though.

if samsung follows course with what they did for the epic we should see the source drop today or tomorrow hopefully. (source for the epic was release 2-3 days before the official push started)
I shall remain skeptical until tomorrow comes and I have froyo, we've seen this song and dance before.
This didn't just come from Samsung's Galaxy S support feed. This was posted on AT&T's Facebook page. Other sites are starting to report on it. Rumor has that it might be the leaked KB1 update that came out earlier today.
http://www.facebook.com/ATT
P.S. - I guess I should look forward to reloading my apps and re-rooting my phone.
FINALLY. We should start a pool now and try and pick the time when they announce it was pulled because it is bricking phones.

It's going to be KB1, since the fingerprint is already registered in the market. It's not going to brick any phones by itself without help from Kies Mini.

Good? We already have GREAT roms out thanks to our chefs. That being said I do look forward to what they can do with source.
Woohoo! Better keep my battery full charged and ready for the fun tomorrow. I guess this will be an OTA update?

Well we still need the kernel source to post on the samsung site. Hopefully that will post sometime tomorrow but we can't make any native roms until that happens.
Figures, the day I finally decide to root, AT&T decides to release FROYO the next day. lol with that said, if I do root today, will I have to re-root tomorrow when I upgrade?
I thought I'd get it early by flashing cognition 4, as I've used cognition 3.04 and firefly and have been impressed by the wonderful features.
If you're wondering-- Don't bother doing this yourself. I've flashed cog4, and have found it lacking almost all the features that made cog3.04 cool, like having choices for unlock screens, tethering and wap come with warnings that these are pay services for AT&T, and touchwiz is the default launcher.
I'm going back to cog3.04, a far superior rom, later this afternoon.
Nice, 7 months late...
As for Cog 4 or KB1 roms, I'm going to wait until they are on par with current roms in terms of features.
Same thing I plan to do. I'm gonna put this stock Froyo on tomorrow, and once the devs have time to play with the official source and get things good and stable with some tweaks that I find useful, I will flash a custom ROM later on.
I can't imagine this could be better than what I've been experiencing since flashing Andromeda 1.2. Thanks, but no thanks.

+1 Same boat.
I saw this on my facebook and was like, "Squee!" But I'm already using 2.2.1 on the andromeda final rom, and it's so awesome. Somehow I doubt anything AT&T is willing to dish out is going to make a better rom than that. :X
Yeah, I really wish Att &/or Sammy gave us 2.2.1, I almost think its a downgrade from what we already have. Phx 4.5 is great source can really make us have a ton of awesome!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
With the 2.2 source for the cap and 2.2.1 source for the i9000, can devs merge them and make a Cap 2.2.1 rom from KB1? I dont understand it all well enough to even guess how far fetched that is.
to upgrade or wait for awhile
if we upgrade we will still be able to run roms like ff and phoenix?
Okay, just remember this is a total rumor, and complete speculation at this point.
This article says that it is "likely" that Samsung will be the first handset maker to provide 2.3 Gingerbread to the U.S. Cellular carriers.
http://androidandme.com/2011/03/pho...the-first-gingerbread-updates-to-us-carriers/
***This is complete speculation, has nothing to do with any of the updates of late, this could not even mean an update for our phone. I am simply posting a link so that everyone else can know. I expect no flame in the thread, it will most likely end in a Close Thread. Take this thread for what it is.***
Eh. 2.3 with the TW interface won't be so great anyways. I'll flash CM7 when it becomes easier to flash and more stable. But it would be nice to see Samsung and ATT pushing out Gingerbread earlier than everyone else.
EDIT: On second thought, I can almost see this purely because the first Gingerbread phone ever was Samsung.
Yeah it is very possible, but if it's true it could take a while

Just so you know CM7 is really stable for many users and the install process is easier then you might think. I would personally love to see just a system dump because that would make these dev's lives easier.

Yeah CM7 isn't that hard to install. Just follow the direction to a T.
Don't think they'll release it any sooner judging on how long they took to release froyo.

If you check the CM7 Q&A thread it says that its not likely that it will ever be a single zip install, so I don't think there's much hope for an easier install, although its fairly easy to begin with anyways. I'm running it right now and it seems bug free for the most part my only complaint is the camera app because its not as nice as the Samsung one but I can live with it.

Could be true.. Probably won't be OTA, but I wouldn't be surprised of the international galaxy s got a 2.3 update by the end of next month. They got 2.2 in what, September, October 2010?
I doubt we'll ever see an official 2.3 for the Captivate though.
Bleh, even if Samsung delivered 2.3 tomorrow it would still be eight to twelve months before AT&T could get it's act together and release the software for Captivate and that is if there is ANY plan to update Captivate. I won't hold my breath and really don't need their 2.3.
One thing nice, is that it could be a hint that the Internation Galaxy S is going to be getting an official release sometime soon, which in turn could translate into ports anyway that could contribute to even better custom ROM's. And i doubt it will come to the Captivate. Why when they are trying to sell a new device?

Just installed CM7 on my cappy Thursday took about 5 mins, just follow connexion2005's video linked in the CM7 thread and you'll have no issues. Just make sure you have the files downloaded and your phone flashed to stock before hand.
Well one can hope but to be honest we will get a ported version long before an official version, that is even if we do get one with the Captivate to be considered EOL by ATT as of the middle of next month. Will it be OTA? God I hope not lol
There already is a "official" release. CM7!

Would love to see this on the cappy, but lets face it, its not Samsung holding back most of the time, its ATT. =(
I suppose CM7 isn't HARD, but I just haven't been installing ROMs that long and I've never messed with actual Odin before, just one-click. I'm pretty happy on Precision right now anyways, so I can't see myself flashing CM7 anytime soon. I don't get how 2.3 is so much better than 2.2 anyways.

I think I will never use Odin one click again...it hard bricked my original awesome phone and now i have to use refurbished...
but full odin is better and flashing CM7 is very smooth and awesome...little complicated to install...but that video should help...i flashed twice and i cant go back to froyo from it...
Feel of Gingerbread is better than any froyo rom..
Just with the 2-3 weeks I've been on CM7....its amazing! First its just plain fast, even in its developmental stage it's supremely fast. Secondly The small details, It has the glow effect when you get to the end of a scrollable list, which i think adds a nice touch. Lastly The CRT shutdown is really nice, I don't think I could go back after having it. All in all its really fun to use
I heard that Gingerbread will be released for the Mesmerize within 3 weeks. Has it been leaked anywhere? Had anyone else heard this?
LOL. My guess is that's pure rumor. They only JUST released Froyo and there's NO WAY that they would release Gingerbread for the Mez right on the heels of another update... if at all.
Wow. Just wow.

I thought the same thing, but I heard it from someone who should know. I really don't think so either, however, I believe my source is telling me the truth. They say Samsung is working to get it to US Cellular and released within 3 weeks.

Although I agree with you, dying think it'll take THAT long the Google gingerbread Nexus S is samsung galaxy s hardware. And this kernel will support gingerbread, su least from what I've read.
Swyped using USCC Mesmerize
I'll let you know as soon as it hits. I'm getting the firmware the same time the lab does, or at least I have been up to now.

yeah, notice how many froyo betas we got before getting an official release? I doubt they would go to gingerbread so quickly.
