Please list some of the applications you use now that the Froyo Leak for the Captivate is available.
Obviously theres the staples:
* Flash Player
* Gmail (Priority Inbox)
* Chrome to Phone
What do you use with your Froyo-enabled Captivate?
I don't know what apps are froyo only, but you list is there, and Google Search. But I've only had froyo for 10 hours, and slept 8 of them. I'm sure the replies will start rolling in once more people give it a try.

That's what I'm expecting, hopefully this list will help newcomers to Froyo.
I had it on my Nexus One, but just sold it and didn't touch it for the last month or two. Those were the only ones i could remember .
Apps2Sd.... Haven't really found anything else that's Froyo specific besides that, and the previous mentioned apps.
I noticed the Astro Pro and Juice defender pro and some other pro apps are not available for the 2.2..So I am stuck with ads which I don't care for being on a 200MB plan.
One of my map related bus schedule software does not work on froyo... FC everytime.
ive been searching for the past hour or so looking for apps that are froyo only or take advantage of froyo features like c2dm and all i've found is
Gmail 2.3
Voice Search/Actions
Flash 10.1
Chrome to Phone
Googles's Car home was just released to the market. It's 2.2 only iirc

Yes this started recently, currently its affecting 2 of my purchased apps SlideIT and FolderOrganizer. I find them both under "Downloads" in market, and as "Purchased". They can be downloaded without problems, but when i start them, after 10sec if connected to internet, a error box comes up and doesnt go away saying i need to purchase full version. On checkout.google.com they all have been succefully bought and money has been taken from my bank account.
I think it started few days ago after i flashed a rom on my Desire (defrost 6.0) but not sure. After that i factory resetted and installed Opendesire .36 and still same problem. Anyone that might know what the issue is, how to fix it or how to get contact with market support team (not user forum??).
Im running non-updated version(i think, ver1.82 of market since Opendesire doesnt autoupdate market it seems. Would also want to know if its anyway to update manually.
/Very frustrated man, since its the 2 most important apps on my phone!
So everyone (particularly other Aussies) knows, rooting and uninstalling the buggy apps below from the Optus rom seems to have significantly improved my battery life, as well as caused the phone to stop slowing down significantly after a few days:
DirectoryAssist
GOTO_Altitude <- I think this one or the last one is the mobile tv app that kept crashing all the time, particularly on APN changes...a lot of the rest are just shortcuts...
Optus App Store
Optus Games
Optus Mobile TV
Optus Zoo
Optus Music
Revolver
TrueCountry
TV 1.0
To uninstall them you need to root with z4root. I then used the free version of Uninstaller for Root from the market to back up the APKs and remove them.
Highly recommend this for all Optus users...phone is working much, much better now.
Once I work out how to restore 2.2s default tethering (or discover it's impossible and find a good app store app) I will remove the buggy wifi app too...

As an optional alternative to the above, I flashed the GB Retail SBF, removed all of the motobloat apps (social networking, weather, news, widgets, messaging, etc keeping the google versions), installed a new launcher (in my case ADW) and then removed the motoblur home 2.2.
Flashing the GB SBF also got rid of that stupid Optus boot animation
Any and all lag is completely gone, battery lasts more than 24 hours with moderate usage (browsing, calls, gtalk, email, etc).
Runs pretty damn nice, stable 1.25ghz @ 62VSEL using milestone overclock.
EDIT: added battery comment.
Shellite, did you get back the standard android 2.2 tethering by doing that?
Sent from my MotoA953 using XDA App
Unfortunately, no. It did not restore the standard 2.2 tethering.
To be honest, while it would be nice, I wouldn't really use tethering much anyway.
Can some one point me to the australian sbf? Love to get rid of this vodaphone [email protected]
Any detailed instructions on how to do it as well? Or will the Brazilian instructions in this forum do the trick? Yes i'm totally new to this but that been said I am very computer-literate so it's more cautiousness than not knowing what i'm actually doing...
Sent from my MotoA953 using XDA App
The only Australian SBF is the Optus one which I requested in another forum whom uploads them to and-developers..
I will PM you some information as you should request they upload your Vodafone SBF before you start flashing others to your phone
The GB Retail rom is the best if you want unbranded goodness. I will PM you the link to this also, but as I said, hold off flashing it.
Thanks! Much appreciated.
My M2 came with GB firmware and I flashed the Optus firmware just for a look, it was ok except for Yes Optus boot animation plus a horrible Optus wallpaper and the Optus apps of course.
I now have the French sbf as it is MILS2_U6_2.3.4
Optus is MILS2_U6_2.2.19
and UK is MILS2_U6_2.2.16

foreman31, I just flashed the GB sbf and seems clean (phone portal works as well over wifi). Have you noticed any differences between the FR vs GB?

not really, it has AZERTY keyboard is all, when you press Q it types A and vice versa.
Does the GB firmware have data and battery manager in settings?
@shellite: could you please elaborate on how you got rid of the motoblur apps and the motoblur homescreen? Also, is that permanent (does factory reset bring it back?)
@foreman: yes both data and battery manager options are shown in settings.

You cant get rid of Motoblur until Angrdroid finished FissionROM since there are too many links between the BLUR Apps.. an alternative would be.. to use a Launcher such as LauncherPro and ADW.Launcher or the Android2.3 Launcher PORT to 2.2 .. those 3 are the best ive seen.. (GDE is kinda funny aswell but seems Cheap (looks crappy sometimes .)) but i recommend ADW &LauncherPro this will replace MotoBlurHomescreen and Appdrawer has some cool 3D Effects etc.. wich runs WAY better than Blur.. But its impossible to remove Blur yet, i tryed it believe me... its because blur has own system apps.. and also i couldnt find the StockAndroid ones.. so i couldnt replace them .. im not that skilled.. all i did yet is Porting DarkEdge theme to Milestone2 Deodexed but thats all =)

Can I ask how long it took for Optus to deliver your Milestone 2 after you put in the order?
I re-contracted online, but there is some "problem" with the Milestone 2's that is delaying them being sent out (they have stock mind you)...did you encounter this or a delay by any chance?
Cheers

Initially, after rooting the phone (using z4root) I used Titanium Backup to delete the motoblur applications I did not want... eg;
com.motorola.photowidget 2.2
ContactsUnconnected 2.2
Date and Time 2.2
ES Musica
Help Centre 2.2
HipHop Official 2.0whatever
Home screen tips 2.2
News 2.2
Quick Contacts 2.2
Revolver TV
Rock On Altitude
Social Messaging 2.2
Social Messaging Service 2.2
Social Networking 2.2
Social Sharing 2.2
Social Status 2.2
Toggle Widgets 2.2
TrueCountry
Weather 2.2
World Clock 1.0
... I'm sure you get the idea, since testing out Titanium Backup I decided to buy the full version, after flashing the UK SBF to my phone, I used it to 'freeze' the packages rather than delete them (leaving me the option to enable them at a whim if desired).
There are more that belong on the above list which I have frozen... eg; I installed ADW Launcher and then 'froze' Home 2.2
My battery easily lasts more than a days use now, with calls, games, google reader, etc.. its also overclocked to 1.25ghz @ 62VSEL stable, I am now happy with my phone (I actually nursed it along for 2 days last week!)
I could give you my full list via PM if this helps.
Thanks shellite!
Im kinda new to android so i still have to learn much about roots and roms, but your post helped a lot!

I ordered it on the first day they became available, before they'd even turned up on the personal website (the guys on the phone were happy to sell me one). I think that was a Tuesday...it was delivered on a Thursday. They'd essentially promised me it would arrive in 48 hours (I didn't believe them at the time) and it pretty much did. I was quite impressed with the turnaround...
I wasn't recontracting though...transferred from TPG...

Nice...wonder why/how they have developed some "problem" now :-(
Oh well, hopefully will get it soon :/
Just watch the box when you get it. It doesn't have an obvious front, and if you open it upside down the phone will fall out (onto the hard tile floor in my case). It was totally fine, but I wasp pretty ****ty about it at the time...
This may sound silly but seen as it's my first time doing this I need to make sure the process is correct.
Is this the correct way to load the GB SBF onto my M2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914071
Obviously that thread talks about the Brazilian firmware, but I'm assuming the process is the same regardless of firmware region?
I have the Vodafone SBF now so I'm good to go...
Not sure whats going on but for the past day and a half now I have not been able to install apps from the droid market from the PC. Been doing market fixes since then. I have all apps showing up, but I still get the device not showing in my account.
I know this issue pops up alot just wanted to know if others where having the same issue.
I did eventually install appbrain as a work around but it is really annoying to see that google is having that many problems with this.
I went through all the net advised fixes, work around's and everything else. From what I've come across it's not just tablet owners having this issue. It's also phone owners of both rooted and non-rooted phones.
will be easier for others to help you if you give more info. What rom are you using? What have you tried? (you say you tried a few fixes) any hacks or tweeks youve done?
I am running TnT lite 4.2.4 w/ clockwork mod installed. No other tweaks to speak of. I have not had a market issue since original install 3 weeks ago. Even after running the 2.2.4 supplement I still had a functioning market.
It was the next day that market did an update and things went downhill from there. I hit the net and looked for other fixes and found 2 others involving removal and resetting of gmail account. did not work work.
As of 7:30am today my market account still does not show my device listed. The first run of the market fix 3 weeks took 4 hrs for my tab to show under market account, so letting it sit after ordering from the tablet did not correct the issue either.
I have tried the titanium backup market fix as well as the non titanium fix on multiple occasions. at least 4x each fix. My market on tab looks up to date w/ all apps, just my tab is not showing on the webpage market.
THis issue does not seem to be just a tab issue as googleing "device does not show under market account" pulls quite a few issues regarding this problem. Even various phones are having the same issue.
not sure what else to do except use a work around.
Similar issue...
ROM: Vegan Beta 5.1.1
Tab: Ztab
My issue is that all my android devices, including this one, show up. However, two of them show as "not compatible" for many applications even though they should be compatible. For instance, Xscope (being the latest I tried) won't install on either the Ztab or my nameless Shanzai tablet. It would install on my S7 or Droid.
Android Versions:
S7: 2.1
Droid: 2.2 (some ROM, don't remember which)
Shanzai: 2.1 (as it came)
Ztab: 2.2 (via Vegan as noted above)
I'm not sure what else to try and it is getting very annoying. I had thought it was just me until I started to see more and more reports of the issue.
Was wondering if anyone has made a comprehensive list of bloatware that is safe to uninstall for the I727R yet? I've used a couple of roms, and they're great, just not as stable as the stock.
Would love to remove *all* the bloat from my device, just don't know which ones are 100% safe to trash yet....
Also, from what I've read, I can just change the kernel if I want to oc, right? What's a good kernel for that? Da_og?
Sent from my rooted SGS2 I727R using stock, until something really stable comes along using xda-app
Two that come to mind off the top of my head
Da_G oc kernal
or
faux123 oc kernal
I've had no problems with either one, but only have limited experience with them.
And those are pretty stable on the Rogers offering? Sorry for the 20 questions, but I'm a novice at best with Android... and this device in particular doesn't seem to have a lot of material that lends itself to inspire absolute confidence in someone of my level of understanding, lol

I have not tried these kernals with stock rogers gingerbread, but from what I have read around these forums it sounds fairly stable.
if it were me I would just try it; and see if you can get it nice and stable thats the fun of flashing around.

If you think it might be bload but you aren't sure just go into titanium backup and freeze it. It is the exact same but if you run into problems later just unfreeze it and its right back on your phone. If it turns out you really dont need it then just unistall it
I'm running the ATT bln mod kernel on ATT hardware but a rogers rom and I have no issues.

Hope no one minds, but I'm gonna keep this bumped till a list is made, our I compile a good list to share... Might be hard though... The urge to flash is getting pretty severe

After flashing the TPC v3 rom, here are my list of frozen apps. I've also got a lot of third party apps to replace stock launcher/dialer/keyboard/etc.... so I've frozen the stock ver of those.
I'll repeat the advise stated earlier in the thread, use Titanium Backup to freeze the apps instead of removing them completely until you're sure you don't need those.

Nice list
One suggestion: TwLauncher, I'm pretty sure if you were to do a factory reset phone would crash after the inital setup(language blah blah).
Second thing, I've frozen secphone.apk for some time with no ill effects(not sure what it does). Could be screenshot service?
big thanks tom! Now if I can only figure out why this bleeding device keeps frying SD cards... 3rd one onside of a month! WTF?!?

Thanks! I've just frozen secphone as well.
Groovy, thanks xda, tom. I was holding off flahing any new roms... but with the card issues, as well as reading the rave reviews of TPC's rom, I'm going to give it a run tonight.
Also, I'll name my first partition after you~
Great
Great list - just rooted, purchased TB, and froze almost all of the above mentioned (except TwLauncher and related).
Seemed to free up a lot of available ram on my SGS2 LTE.
Next step would be trying out 'roms', which I have next to none knowledge of.
Or just wait for the official OTA update coming up in a month or two...
honestly rogers doesnt put as much bloatware on the phone as att does to their version. I removed more Samsung bloatware then rogers bloatware when I was running stock. I'm now running CocaColaClassic and it works flawlessly on my Rogers GS2LTE i727r plus when he updates his rom he includes a update zip. I've tried every single rom and thats the best, cyanogenmod 7 is the second best rom available. Though this is my opinion. Also I use LauncherPro instead of twlauncher (find it much more efficient and faster)
Whats better on Coke than TPCs? Just curious

Freezing apps with TB doesn't free up any memory:
here is a relevant excerpt from TB Technical Guidline
17. Does “freezing” apps free space from phone memory ?
No, it doesn’t. The “frozen” app remains on the phone with its data, it’s just that the app gets completely disabled until you “defrost” it.
