Epic 4G Official Froyo Release

Is anyone talking about this in the Captivate forum? Could this mean our update is soon? Anyone plan on porting it over?

I don't think it would work. cdma vs gsm, etc.
Sent from my Captivate

I am full of envy
Anyway it was 2.2.1, not 2.2 as leaks.
Might be our official froyo also 2.2.1?

The galaxyssupport on twitter has been consistent in saying these updates will be out before the end of december. I was in doubt but now I am confident that we well see captivate update soon.

Hmm, interesting, I thought I read that Vibrant and Captivate would receive Froyo first... very peculiar indeed.

I "thought" it was on one of the blogs I follow (IE.. Engadget, Gizmodo, AndroidandMe, and Androidspin)
Well at least it means our phones should (keyword being should) follow soon with a new Froyo update.

Surprised that they were first to get it... and that it was 2.2.1!

Can we maybe dissect the url to find our update url when it becomes active? Here's the utal and my projected path...
http://android.clients.google.com/p...0/1506bdf2e04b.update-SPH-D700_DI18toDK28.zip
What I have reasoned thus far: ("?" Indicates what I don't know)
http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/at&t_samsung_i897/ ? .update-SPH-I897_JH7toJK??.zip
Could someone look up the JH7 update url and look at the url path between "...samsung_i897/ and .update..."? Hopefully it would be the same...
[edit] after looking at my signature from this app, the "SPH"'s above might actually be "SGH" ...

There is still no official word from Sprint or Samsung that this is the official release. Yes, it could be. But it called also be RC1 or Beta 9 -

I thought I read people were getting upgrade messages to their phones. I could be wrong.

I don't think it's the final build because some users have mentioned bluetooth voice dialing doesn't work.

Unless I am mistaken, bluetooth voice dialing is not a native function of froyo, it is included in a google app that is only compatible with froyo. As with all google apps, carriers can choose whether or not to include it. If it is not pre-installed, it can be downloaded from the market.

Ah, you are correct. Well I just mentioned it over in one of their threads, thanks.

According to Engadget.. Looks like Canada is getting Froyo this month. Not sure if its old news.. But the article seems recent.

I got this message Saturday night, but I have not tried to install it because im rooted and custom froyo rom and i9000 kernal.

I got a message this week too. But I figured it was the 'gps fix' message from a month or two ago...whenever that wash. I never got that message.
I too have a ROM on so it wouldn't come to me anyway.

Trust me, it's not Froyo. As has been stated a ton of times, it's just AT&T sending out batches of update texts for the 2.1 previous upgrade.

Dual boot manager

So I saw this app on Lifehacker:

Has anyone tried this on our phones? I'm very interested in using it but I'm not going to buy it if it's known to not work.

Gflam 1 of the co developers of this is my rom partner. We did a rom called sourcery together. i finally put recovery on today and was suppose ot work on getting him the info to make it compatible. But he was busy. Ill post as soon as its supported. and i do some testing for him.

That be cool.

Wow, that would be awesome! Not yet officially supported on our phone according to link. Seems like it would be pretty buggy running on SD.
Somewhat on topic, this is one of the reasons I got an LG phone. I work with VMware products in my job and they've partnered with LG to work on giving users the ability to run a business and personal accounts simultaneously through virtualization. Not 100% sure if it is actually a whole other ROM but it looks like it from the demo. If it's true virtualization for phones, I could see you being able to run multiple ROMs.
Check it out. Might be another option when it comes out:
http://communities.vmware.com/commu.../lg-vmw-partnership-follow-up-with-demo-video

The dev on this sent me an email and said they are working on this device and one of his guys is testing it out now. It should be available soon. The dev was also very helpful and very quick to respond to my email.

Short answer, it doesn't work.. lol... It can't flash the boot.img. I'll send some info to the dev, hopefully he will be able to update the code and get us going.

Cool thanks

i have tried the v.1.2 of this app and had no luck just error when it was trying to create a boot.img of the rom i was wanting to install. i'll guess i'll go back to doing a nandroid backup of the other rom and just reflash the backup when i want to use it. at least that way works. i was really looking forward to giving this app a go as well, just a shame really..........sudeki300

For me, it worked when i was restoring from a nandroid (only worked once).
I'm not sure whether it was setup issue or whether it was software.
Will report back after further testing =D

I'm pretty sure he's just saying it's the best due to all of it's sources being available which allows it to be updated so frequently.

True. Just pointing out that its the roms not the app.

Yeah the netflix app from the market works flawlessly on my G2X. I'm on the MIUI rom 1.9.9 though if that makes a difference.

Maybe
you missed the article from last Friday - it seems to be working on everything EXCEPT the G2x!

Skyrocket ICS Leak questions

Hey guys I have some questions that will help me decide whether I should install the AT&T ICS leak or not. So if I install it, will I still be able to receive OTA updates? Also, when I add widgets, will it look like it did in 2.3.6? Like with the menu at the bottom. And last of all, will I still have the tilt to zoom feature? Or will that be gone? Thanks a lot!
**Sorry I forgot to mark this thread as a question. I didn't see that until after I clicked submit.

1. No
2. Widgets are the same, at least I didn`t find any difference
3. Yes

I find UCLE2 (debloated non-root) fast and stable as a DD. I planned to qualify for OTA with a nandroid of 2.3.5 I took. The thing I miss most is better looking and smooother navigating themeing, like I had in Doc's Master on my Captivate.

No reason to in my opinion. Unless you plan on keeping your phone stock anyway.

UCLE2 in its stock form was good for me, but it drained the battery very quickly. Sky ICS 4.2 has been very, very good, even reasonable with the battery. I wonder if the final ATT release of ICS will be even close.

I guess I will also root. I don't see a point in not to. I mean it saves battery, can make your phone faster, and more. Is there all the cool features in Sky ICS from 2.3.6 stock? Like the tilt to zoom? Thanks
**Edit** Oh and what is UCLE2?

UCLE2 is the code name of Samsung's third leaked (sneak preview) stock ICS Rom developed for the Skyrocket. It might soon prove to be identical to the ICS upgrade version AT&T eventually finishes "customizing" and releases OTA. it is Android 4.0.4

ATT will be dropping ICS by the end of June, I plan on waiting till then

Sorry, not trying to be ****-ish, but I'm just not buying it. I don't care if it was the CEO of AT&T who said it -- we've all been lied to enough times by now on official ICS.
Screw official OTA's. I'd be perfectly content if we could just get kernel source from a leak. Hands are tied on a ton of stuff our devs could be doing until we get that.

I agree--I wouldn't believe anything an AT&T rep says about the official release. It's way more fun to play around with all these ROMs anyway.

It'll be fine. I'm sure an update will be on the way tonight. Last I read he did up a new base anyways, so, yeah, we'll see.

The multitudes of people that are wandering what's going on I'm sure Sean or a mod will have a direct answer at some point.
I really hope they let him update his ROM..

was kind of wondering why his thread got locked, i figured they could just remove the links and let him re-up without the dropbox apk later, but either way i'm sure he'll have something set up at some point.. removing that dropbox apk isn't a dealbreaker.. lol

Depends on what the Drop Box people have to say about it. Might be more serious than we know.

I'm sure most everyone has already acquired the 50gb of storage from Seans prior releases.. no going back now!

Well technically dropbox is free but to get 50gigs you will need to pay. Most of the US carriers opted out of it anyway as you only get to use it for 2 years. I could see it being a big deal but I don't think its that serious unless dropbox is going crazy over it. Its like the whole touchpad thing where you could get more space by just logging in with your touchpad.

hate waiting
I'm a new user so I can't post on Sean's threads. But I have to say that his roms are amazing! I hope he can bring up the links soon. Did I read that he was working on a new base?
