[Q] Upgrading Android OS from Fission - Droid 2 Global General

I wasn't able to find a similar thread to what I was asking.
I recently installed Fission 2.4.3 on my D2G, works great, really happy with it. Noticed it's still running Android 2.2.
Is it possible to upgrade the actual Android OS that Fission runs on? Or does the Fission ROM actually come packaged with whatever version of Android they have tested/stabilized with? I wasn't sure if they were tightly coupled or if I was expected to upgrade myself or whathaveyou.
Thanks.

Fission 2.4.3 is based on android 2.2, as that is the latest OS out for our phones. until 2.3 is released by motorola, we are all stuck on 2.2 for the time being. also i wouldnt hold my breath for 2.3 on D2G any time soon.
and to answer your last question, no. Fission IS the 2.2 ROM, so when 2.3 is released, another fission rom will be req to flash

Rooting Android 2.2 for Desire

Now that Froyo has been released, if I install the official version from HTC I cannot root my phone and go back to my original ROM if I need to, for warranty purposes. I would prefer the stock official version, as I am not interested in trying to deal with any problems that the custom ROM's may have. So my question is how long do you think it may be, until we will be able to root Android 2.2?
What about checking all the rooted Android 2.2 ROMs in this forum?

[Q] Flash back to Froyo 2.2

Okay i know im going to get screamed at but im tired of looking for it in the threads. I downloaded a custom rom to my phone...it's nice. but now i want to flash a back to froyo 2.2, i have the odine one click and i can flash back pretty easy. But the only thing is, if i flash back to 2.2 i won't have full marke access. Is there anyway to flash back to 2.2 and still have full market access, yes my phone is rooted, i just need to know how to get full marked access on 2.2 Froyo. Sorry guys...don't kill me...

Which Froyo 2.2 do you want? One click Odin gets you 2.1. For 2.2 there were a couple of beta releases and then all custom Roms.
I am sorry you are tired of looking, but you really should spend the time to understand how all the pieces fit together. In the limited info you have provided there are way to many "in this case" scenarios.

there is also a oneclick odin for 2.2 JI6
where is this 2.2 odin?
All the Android 2.2 ROMs for the Captivate are "custom ROMs" as 2.2 hasn't actually been released for the Captivate yet. The custom 2.2 ROMs are all either based on unfinished leaked "beta" code or 2.2 for other hardware that's been hacked-up to try and work as best it can on the Captivate.
The Captivate comes with Android 2.1... perhaps that's what you meant?

2.2 hasn't been released in US market yet. But everywhere else, 2.2 is officially released. So the question is where on earth is the OP located.

Gingerbread for XT720

I know 2.2 is being worked on by Dexter_nib, but will he try a Gingerbread rom for the XT720? From what I've read is the XT720 was built for 2.3 Gingerbread.

This is extremely unlikely for a lot of reasons - mostly due to a locked bootloader and no Motorola support. Right now, 2.2 is pretty much the best you can hope for from Dexter.
If motorola will update any phone to 2.3 - it maybe port to our phone.
But that unlikely for some reasons with moto...
We're struggling to have adequate quantities of RAM with Froyo, I can't imagine what type of performance we would get with Gingerbread.
Available RAM = Nope!
Dexter did this because there's froyo update for Korean XT720
and he managed to replace the drivers to fit into other versions of xt720
so, if moto provides Gingerbread update for XT720, you know that

Upgrate to 2.2.1

I downgraded my inspire to 2.2 and i was on 2.2.1. Is there anyway to get it back to 2.2.1 becase it keeps saying the phone is up to date.
I am presuming you rooted your phone, which downgrades the radio/rom. So now you can go and flash a custom rom, and there are many to choose from. Though there is not one best one.
I liked the features in 2.2.1 do you know a rom with similar features?
any inspire based rom like , tpc, clear droid, attn1 stock rooted.

droid x sbf to froyo

OK, I have looked on the internet and have not found a clear answer. Is it safe, or even possible to sbf to stock froyo from the official ota android 2.3.3 gingerbread build for the Droid X
This thread has been up for a while, and I guess I might as well answer my own problem.maby my question will help others.Yes, you certainly can sbf flash from the gingerbread over the air build on the droid x and numerous other phones to froyo. Another phone is the droid 2 global. You can go from build 4.5.607 gingerbread to 2.4.29 froyo.
sbf stands for super base 95 file I believe
What exactly does sbf stand for?
