[Discussion] Estimated Official Release of JI6?

As most of you already know, thanks to our wonderful member designgears and an anonymous source we have been the first to recieve the leaked JI6 build of FROYO 2.2 for our Captivates. THANK YOU!
Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797282
What are everyone's thoughts now that we have knowledge and proof that it really does exist; when do you think that an OFFICIAL release will be available to flash via KIES MINI or OTA?

I wet my pants! We are the first for official froyo

When I saw the post from my phone, I ran to my car, sped across the city and sat down in front of the computer reading every post while the download was in progress.
At the moment My phone is being flashed to 2.2!
EDIT: I'M ON 2.2 NOW! Haha

that's our addiction of flashing files

Typically, I like to remain stock.
This appears to be stock to me, I'm quite sure we will still receive OTA updates on this ROM.

Hopefully an official release is out in the next few days; for now I'm more than pleased with the work that designgears and the rest of the community here at XDA have put together in only a few hours!

Probably in the next week fews, maybe mid-October to end of October, if we're going along how JH7 was officially released and when it was leaked.
Edit: Apparently Jh7 was leaked maybe a week before the actual OTA so maybe sooner than I thought. But the i9000 Froyo isn't supposed to be out until end of October? who knows

Maybe they can make a vanilla froyo for the Captivate now also. That would be nice to have except for the lack of a swype keyboard.

Don't forget that not all leaks become official OTA updates. We got leaked JH2, JH3, JH7, and THEN an official update to JH7. I expect there will be more leaks before the official.

The i9000 has seen numerous froyo leaks since early August and they still have yet to receive an official update, so I wouldn't get my hopes up for a 2.2 OTA update any time soon.
Still its exciting to finally get a leaked froyo build - can only mean good things are on the way.

I'm quite comfortable on the leaked ROM, would be nice to have an official release obviously haha.
Right now I'm waiting to see what designgears will throw together!

We need the official release in order to get the source code. We need the source to do all kinds of things.

Memory Fix?
Anyone think the official update will open up all the 512mb memory?

Yeah. That's why I'm pretty sure this version will not be released as an official update as it doesn't use all the available ram.

I'm also wondering whether the tethering options that Android Central showed in the leaked build will actually be available in the stock update. I would love to see them, but somehow doubt it with AT&T.

Yeah this current release (JI6) has a lot of positive changes - but it's obvious it isn't ready for official release. It's still in the works as far as I'm concerned. I'm just glad it's stable enough for me to be comfortable with.

My thought is that this is the first go round - sort of a base build that they will build on top of. For one thing it is the One-Click Odin and not just a ROM - so someone packaged it to be a one step restore.
Then there are things like mobile AP and USB tethering that will probably get pulled. Other things like UK spelling and the missing Sync scheduling indicate that they pushed some stuff right from the EU build.
There are also some minor defects that existed in 2.1 that are still there - not being able to click on URLs, emails, phone numbers in the calendar; same GAL integration; GPS issues; etc.
Great start though, and no reason for me to go back to 2.1

Samsung has just announced[1] it has been released over OTA for the Samsung Vibrant. So, the Vibrant now has Froyo available officially.

There was a JI6 for vibrant on SamFirmwares in September - it is 2.1 - So I think this is probably the same version - with some minor changes.
I doubt it is Froyo since there is not even a leaked Froyo for Vibrant.
EDIT - confirmed on Vibrant forum - 2.1

Oops. My bad. I got too excited there

possible OFFICIAL 2.2 upgrade?

i have since gotten a mytouch 4g so i dont frequent the xt forum anymore but i figured you guys would be interested in this. it is directly from cincinnati bells facebook page and was posted about a week ago. just figured you guys might be interested. im not sure what exactly this means (official?), so take it for what its worth
We do have a 2.2 OS upgrade for the Milestone in testing. If it gets approval we will announce it within the next two weeks.

This would be awesome! T-minus two weeks... That does seem too specific to allow weaseling.
Edit: I take that back. T-minus sometime this week?!?

I assume the only Milestone Cincinnati bell carries is the XT720 so it could only mean that when it says Milestone?
Official 2.2. would be nice. Though I'd love to see them add 2.3 by now since I do have 2.2 an official version would be good to fix some issues I assume (and it would be cool if they changed stuff like they did for the Droid X gingerbread update - status bar +UI improvements etc...).
Though hypothetically, if this did happen would the update only be for Cincinnati Bell users and the rest of us would have to get the benefits over here on XDA only?

Yes the XT720 is the only Milestone in CBs lineup. The Motorola update page still lists the US XT720 as staying on 2.1 so I guess we'll just to wait & see.

I really do hope its some sort of official build. I still have the xt as my backup phone, but the mytouch is my daily driver. Hope for the best guys!

aaaah, just unlock the ****in bootloader or give us 2.3
who needs 2.2 for now, dexter and the other developers (khalpowers, mioze7oe and so on) did GREAT work

It would be nice to get a kernel version bump like the Milestone did. And a more froyo-friendly partition layout would be nice too. We'll see.

I will be going to the Cincinnati Bell store tomorrow after work to yell at them for messing up my bill...again.
I will be sure to inquire about this when I go.

Well, if a CB 2.2 was leaked, and could be successfully read... I think, but am definitely not sure, that we could use recovery to flash boot.img/system.img?
Anybody care to correct me on this?

Check with Dexter or Khalpower. may be CincyBell bought their ROM and testing for upgrade. lol

We'll have to see. It depends on whether the partition sizes changed. Motorola likes to include the partition tables in the kernel so that would require flashing sbf to use a new boot.img. If they use the same kernel version, we can probably make an update.zip to deal with changes in system.img changed size. We'll have to see what if anything we get.

Well, I talked to several people at Cincinnati Bell today...
It's not looking good. I was told that there were quite a number of people at Cincinnati Bell who were working on this project, and that a legitimate ROM was produced and tested, BUT... Motorola doesn't want them to release it. I wasn't told why, but you can guess. Motorola hates all of us and secretly wants us all dead. Kidding.
Seriously though, it sounded like Cincinnati Bell DOES have a working froyo ROM. If only someone had a way of getting their hands on it....
I'll keep trying.

Sounds like we need to invite one of their field testers to a bar, gizmodo style.

you know what would be ironic?...
if and when they do really release an official 2.2 for the XT720
we all flash it, and find it was actually the 1.3 made by Dexter's ROM but rebranded
LOL that will really make my day

Sightings of Cincinnati Bell XT720 running 2.2 in employee hands predate the Motoroi 2.2 release. Also, I discussed froyo at length and its development progress at Cincinnati Bell when I purchased my XT720 early last September.
If you want to get even more speculative, http://smartphonebenchmarks.com/ reports performance results for XT720 running 2.3 (not sure if this is easy to fake, though). Where are these ROMs!?!

2.3 ??
I only find results for our XT720 with Dexter's 2.2 on the page you posted.
but I don't comprehend why Motorola doesn't even want to unlock our bootloaders.. I mean that shouldn't be that much work for them and so the customers could do the things on their own and Motorola can continue ignoring us and not giving us any updates???

Go "Advanced Filter" and select "Motorola Milestone XT720". There are results for 2.3.2. This direct link may work, but I'm not sure:

[Q] AWFUL BATTERY LIFE on Droid 2 Global with CM7.1RC

I've been running CyanogenMod 7.1.0-RC1-ROID2WE-KANG since I got my Droid 2 Global several months ago (around September of 2011, I believe). At the time, there wasn't much available by way of stable mods for the Global. I wish I had done more research before buying; I would have bought a regular Droid 2, but the price and condition on the Global was excellent.
In any case, I get about four hours out of a full battery charge, if I'm LUCKY. Often it's closer to three.
I just ordered a new battery, and put it in, and experienced the same problem today.
I don't have any background processes running, only have three home screens, only one widget, bluetooth is off, etc, and my screen brightness is set at 15%.
Does anyone have ANY idea at all why this is happening? It happened on my OG Droid after some time running CM7 as well. I don't really want to have to flash back to stock for a day to test and see what's wrong, but I may have to. It's a major pain though.
I plan on updating to 7.2 now that I realize it's out, but I'm not sure that will fix anything.
HELP!!

People were never intended to use that version to begin with. See what happened, before GB was given to the D2G some wonderful devs on rootzwiki built cm7 on top of a froyo kernel. But there were still some bugs. However, the cyanogen team takes way too long to approve and puts too many road blocks in there that really prevent the devs from updating the official d2g tree. So ever since then they haven't updated that but over on rootzwiki in the d2g dev thread theres a thread for cm7 that's now based on GB kernal 608 that works wonderfully. Developed by x13thangelx, bikedude, revnumbers and a bunch of other dudes who names escape me right now.

[Q]When is the 3G 4G Xoom going to get Ice Cream get Ic

When is 3G 4G Xoom going to get Ice cream?

i been asking that forever. I don't know what the deal is with Verizon not pushing out updates. I just don't get it. From what I read on Droid life is its ready to go but up to big red to push it out.
Just like the gnexus still stuck on 4.02 first carrier to have the phone last one to push out the ota WoW

Yeah it's very annoying. The problem is Verizon's testing procedures (or so I've been told) are VERY strict. Add to the fact that the Xoom isn't a priority device for VZW anymore, and yeah...we continue to wait. The WiFi-only Xoom has had ICS since December, and (again, so I've heard), Google had the ICS ROM for the 3G/4G Xoom ready not long after that. To add further insult to injury, Google and VZW pushed out an update to the 4G Xoom in February that was just a Honeycomb update (3.2.6) to fix data connectivity coming out of airplane mode. Annoying.
With the Galaxy Nexus, at least two 4.0.4 builds have been pushed to devices as part of a soak test (IMM30B and IMM76K), but neither made the cut apparently. But since they went out over the air, we have the files and can run those if we want to. With the Xoom, there hasn't even been so much as a soak test, that we're aware of anyway.

I wish I knew as well.
I've tried all of the custom ROMs and have had problems with each one. I've gone back to the Honeycomb stock ROM in each instance. As snappy & nice as the ICS is with the custom ROMs, the stock Honeycomb has been the most stable ROM ever, imho. I'm very excited about ICS coming out, but only if it's as rock solid as Honeycomb is. I'll wait a couple of more months so that VzW can get it right the first time.

Definitely. That Honeycomb 3.2.6 stock ROM is solid as a brick ****house. That's why I love it.

Don't know about you but I have had ICS on my Xoom for a while. Thanks Team EOS. And it is much better than anything Verizon would put out.

The stock ROM on the Verizon Xoom is still created and updated by Google. It just needs VZW approval before it gets released. TeamEOS isn't stable enough for my liking. Tried playing SimCity lately?

What's wrong with SimCity? (I don't game, so I'm really asking.)
Is the real issue perhaps merely that the game's not ICS-tablet-aware?
Sent from my LTE EOS Xoom via XDA Premium

It freezes constantly. It'll run fine, then all of a sudden just hang forever, giving you the wait/force close dialog box. I don't think it's an ICS or app issue since people running stock ICS on the WiFi Xoom say it works fine.

Interesting. I haven't seen any indications of that in the main EOS threads.
Did you see anyone else collaborating this issue? Were you overclocked at all? Also, at one point we switched to overclocking the GPU by default, and I wonder if that's the issue (after all, my kernel improvements wouldn't have made any difference to a game, and we're nearly stock in anything else that matters).

I wasn't overclocked. OC always makes me nervous! Could be with the GPU...not sure. What I do know is that the issue was still there as of the stable 2.0.0 release.

Uh, didja maybe check here on XDA?

My answer is "never." VZW will never release ICS for this thing. It was seriously doomed from the start.
That said, EOS has created an excellent stingray rom. Again, STINGRAY. And again, EXCELLENT rom. I'm not playing SimCity, but the Sims works very well and since the app was updated, it works even better. It was freezing on restart but now it doesn't do it anymore, which is something to say about how solid EOS' rom is--a problem with the app and not the rom.

Oh dear, not this again. Last year it was "We'll never get LTE" and/or "We'll never have writable SD-Card". It's obvious the tech is there, most likely it's due to either compliance issues (and with VZ that probably means they're trying to lock something down or take something away in the ROM they're intending to release ... the bastards) or they're waiting 'till some as-yet-unannounced LTE tablet(?) device comes out first. Apparently there's a ROM in testing at VZ, if the leaked screenshot has any credibility.

[Q] Android Update 2.3 for Triumph?

I dont know if this was asked or answered i didnt see anything, but I read on some site cant remember that there was gonna be a update release for the triumph now i dont know if this is true has any one else heard of anything like this? The triumph has not had a update since release almost a year ago so it would be nice if one was. maybe a fix to the GPS and audio.

When I bought mine it came with 2.3.7 back in February, and now running cm7 couldn't be happier with this phone flashed a lot still running strong

300 dollars would have been wasted if it wasn't for the devs

The devs are awesome
Especially g60 and chairshot. Also, all the devs that have left, you will be missed... g60 has rewritten most of the device files, and put in a lot of hard work on Starship Triumph with regards to the GPS.

cm7 tickerguy reloaded

ok im not sure about the update frm anything other then 2.2.2 from vm but i do know as im running it right now the fusion rom that downloads the evolution 1.1 file that ends up being evolution 2 is 2.3.4 and all features are working including camera and hdmi and its running as smooth as the sharp rom the only thing i did different then normal was flashed the fusion rom over froyo cream and everything as i said is working great
lol i see u created this rom or just uploaded not sure but maybe this kernal could work with the cm7 for hdmi and camera more on hdmi kinda of an everyday use when u have young kids

This ^

If the evolution rom has working HDMI then its 99.9% chance its Froyo based, the 2.3 can come from build.prop. changes
Also the cm7 tickerguy is nice but its the oldest and most outdated of all cm7's for the triumph
1.tickerguys cm7
2. Whyzor took over after Tg and has whyzors Tg-reloaded
3. G60 took over after whyzor and made g60madman cm7
4. G60 took it a step further and got a team together and made MTDEV-CM7
All the roms except mtdev-cm7 are based off cm7 the older version, while the mtdev-cm7 is based on cm7.2 final
Which includes many updates both from the cm7 team and the mtdev team have been added
The only difference I've seen outta all of them is whyzor's tg reloaded has alot of tweaks set to maximize battery life, but its still an older cm7, currently the mt-dev team has been working on kernels and tweaks since they have pretty much everything except HDMI running flawlessly, also some users have reported small wifi bug which there looking into as well

The real deal is BSydz PA CM9 ROM for the triumph that is on the android forums board.
