Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
Pointless thread.
The only think that The update is good for is the source code.
just updated. now ill wait for some ROMs to finally start flashing.
Its been available, only people who will upgrade to it are on stock anyways.
How is it ? I'm running. Firefly 2.2 suckerpunch kernel # 51 and a theme by darky u think its worth for me to flash back to stock and upgrade

If you ask me, not a chance.
basically upgrade if you're bored. its for folks who dont want to flash custom roms more or less. all the customized stuff the devs on here offer is way better than official 2.2
all in all not worth it. still havent found a lagfix yet but have figured out how to root/install cwm
now i wait for the first dev to create a rom i can test
I'm only curious if gps is actually better, but sounds like it's not. Shocking...

There's a whole thread full of posts from people who already upgraded. The title is secret, though, so you might have missed it. It has the words "Official Froyo" in it.

If you haven't tried it, how do you know if it's better or not?
You might want to see this post. Supercurio, who developed SPeedMod, has injected Voodoo Lagfix into the Rogers Froyo Kernel, it will work for AT&T Froyo. I have better speeds and performance than on any custom ROM or SpeedMod. Try it out.

Have you tried getting into LBS test mode and resetting your GPS Data?
*#*#3214789650#*#*
Then select delete GPS Data
Also, first locks on new software take longer the first time. If you do the above, it should help.

Didn't take longer when I flashed Cog or supernova.
I didn't flash KB1 but not surprised there are still issues. GPS data, servers and all that won't fix broken hardware.

Well, maybe just give it a try. It can't hurt.
I guess we're lucky in Canada, haven't seen anyone here with these GPS issues.
You guys act as if these custom roms are without bugs. I have flashed many of them and im back on stock because there is always something wrong. besides its not that hard to remove the bloatware yourself. My gps hasnt ever worked on any custom rom dont know if it will on knew one since it wont let me upgrade. problems with call logs showing incorrectly or problems with txt, bt crashes. I have no problems on stock at all, removed all att stuff and it is the way i want it, I dont even use the themes that come with em only a few i seen that i liked and had to buy seperately to make it complete.

Well put. Custom ROMs are basically skinned stock I9000/2.2 ROMs anyway, with bloatware stripped out, other functionality added, and custom kernels and modems.
The beauty of a stock ROM, rooted, with boatware removed(TiBu) and a voodoo injected kernel is better stability, functionality, and reliability. A lot of people here who use custom ROMs have never had access to a native 2.2 stock ROM, and thereby have nothing to compare it to, yet they are stating that custom ROMs are better than 2.2 stock, but how would they know? They've never tried it. Why not try it out? We already have a working 2.2 kernel with Voodoo Lagfix, and I can't say it enough: for me, better speeds, better reliability, faster performance, etc.
However, I'd like to see what happens when we can start making custom ROMs based on 2.2 rather than I9000 though. Non of this wishy washy kernel/modem compatibility etc. It will be better for everyone.

Well that is not entirely true. It is not completely stock which the op is asking for. The debloated rom does not have the tw launcher and I think it has an aosp lockscreen as well. So even if the op "searched" as you say to do, they will find nothing to give them the stock tw experience...

Hey Nitro (Hi-5 Brutha)
Download the Debloated 4.2.1. It is Stock but without the Verizon standard apps that you have to pay money for. Complete with PuzzleLock and Glass lockscreens and full TouchWiz.
here is the list

You can't have both "debloated" and "completely stock" -- that's a contradiction.
imnuts' ROM is debloated but still has the stock theme, however, and that's the closest you'll get.

This is the one I am running, specifically the deodexed rooted one. You can use Titanium Backup (or similar) to freeze or uninstall what ever YOU consider to be bloat.

I went with option 2 simply because the 3rd option has an older rooted kernel in it. I figured it would be better to go this way and then install the newest PBJ kernel, which would then then do the voodoo lagfix. However, it probably doesn't matter either way.

I actually used QtADB to backup the non-needed apps to a folder on the SD card followed by uninstalling them. Just another option, which I find a bit easier than trying to do it on the phone. It doesn't affect the outcome, it's just personal preference. In the end, I prefer to debloat my own ROM by taking out the apps that *I* want to rather than installing a different ROM. This way I get go choose exactly what I want and what I don't want, rather than letting someone else decide for me.

I'm in a 4G area, so the phone is rarely on 3G. That being said, my battery life has been quite good in 4G. Based on my definitions:
Light usage - 20-36 hours
Moderate usage - 14-18 hours
Heavy usage - 8-12 hours
since there seems to be so much confusion about this update for those of us that are on stock 2.3.3 rom and are rooted and s off revolutionary , i would like to request a rooted stock version of 2.3.4 since i don't know what would happen if i try to apply this ota update with my situation. thanks
No one has it yet. Most of the people posting links to download isn't even the full ROM.
Install a custom ROM!

Full ROM isn't needed to make a rooted version of an update.
I've had a Nexus One and a Nexus S, they're quicker over there.
simple request, maybe its useless for you then don't read it ****...I don't want a custom one, I like stock and I'm sick of people like you on these forums that criticize people for wanting a stock rooted rom and don't want all the extra tweaks. Worry about what your running and not everyone else

I will have a stock rooted rom up in a little while

Amen to that, about the custom ROMs...You custom ROMers are just pushing us stock ROMers further away. The only custom ROM, aside from having this one tailored to us noobs with S-oFF, CWM, and root,that I want is CM7.
Enough pushing already! We know where to go if we want a ROM. Seriously, I dont understand this peer pressure BS? Is there money involved? WTF is it? Why do people here give a crap about whether or not someone has a custom ROM over stock?

I agree. And those people pushing us to use custom roms must think that they're cool just cause they're using custom roms. Funny, when you go to the custom rom threads that they're pushing us to use, they have tons of issues and problems too! A lot more than the stock rom ones. And yet they tell you to install custom roms when you post having issues with the stock one, like they don't already have their own. I myself use custom roms every once in a while, I admit. But for reliability on the gps, camera, MMS size etc., I always go back to my nandroid backup. Custom roms are just for aesthetics and not too reliable as some of these fanatics are claiming. Also, my nandroid sensation with bloat removed is just as fast or even faster than most of these custom rom ones. And more reliable.

This is a Stock ROM for the KJ2 update that we never officially received. Its Deodexed and Rooted with the Modified recovery inside already, so you can use CWM.
Everything is Stock KJ2. The Kernel and Modem and everything else is untouched. Just rooted with the modded recovery, and deodexed.
Same install Method. Check mounts and remember to disable voodoo if you have it enabled or you'll soft brick (Remember this has a Stock Kernel!).

There may be various bug fixes, but there wont be anything MAJOR compared to the other stock ROMs. They are auto compiled and they dont give us a list of whats been addressed or not. You can try them out to see if you notice a difference, or if your happy with what you have keep it. Remember you can always make a backup and restore.
Downloading now. Thanks ayoteddy
Downloading now & switching base's for my new LRV2 to KJ2 if it's good enough .

There aren't any real new features to this version, there's some bugfixes (undisclosed, as it is a dev build), and some random new bloat widgets/apps.

Still, cut the fat, keep the meat of the ROM. This phone (like most of them) runs really well when you tear out the garbage that Samsung/T-Mobile preloaded on it. I've been playing with Undead9k's KG2-based ROM the past few days and removed even more stuff from the ROM (and added a couple of things I wanted) and it finally 'feels' like the old Sidekicks did. I'm looking forward to seeing what comes from us having this update.
Got this flashed last night after some stupidity on my part. Thanks teddy for uping this! If you ever decide to release a bare bones version of this, I'd greatly appreciate it as I hate debloating ROM's. No T-Mobile stuff, no Amazon MP3, Books, and most of the Google crap (all but GMail, Marketplace, and Maps) removed.
This rom doesnt randomly force close like previous roms, nor does it reboot randomly either. Great job. Those were my only gripes with others, thanks!
Since install, this ROM hasn't bogged down on me at all. I only seem to have two small issues with it but if they could be eliminated, this would be a perfect stock ROM. After being plugged in to USB for a long period of charging, the phone can't play my custom ringtones. A reboot fixes this. The ringtone still shows there and the MicroSD is still mounted after being disconnected but even trying to reselect the same ringtone or another from the SD card just gives silence. Second issue is, heavy traffic causes data to fail. I can consistantly replicate this using Shazam to find song information. This does happen, as I said, only when the device is sending and receiving a lot of data. I'm going to try a different radio to see if this fixes that.
This is a literal stock rom, as being straight from Samsung, not just being in the design of stock. The only difference this has from stock is that it's deodexed and rooted, it's intended to be a base for those who like the stock system but want to be able to theme/mod it.
This is what I call a "high class problem". With so many ROMs to choose from, how does a noob like me decide. Aside from stability, we all probably have different wants and needs.
Can anyone who's checked out the majority of the available ROMs give the rest of us a rundown on the pros and cons of each ROM?
For myself, I'm looking for:
1. Basic
2. Reversible
3. No known issues with wifi, sms, battery drain, ciq, marketplace, etc.
Which one should I pic?

basically, you need to try them out and see for yourself.
the problem is, there will be another one up soon for you to try out
Like u said. To each his own. None of the roms here have major issues that I have flashed. All work and run well only issue is if there using da G's kernel which has Sod issues. Other than that flash away bruh.
Only u can prevent forest fires.....so choose well bruh. LOL

its close. if i have time this weekend you will see something drop. i have a few more tweaks i want to do before i consider it ready. internally, im already up to beta8, lol. i hope to have beta10 release as an RC1 for everyone.
From what I seen so far I seen no reason to try them though somebody has to or they never get fully debugged.
Some of the ROMs are AT&T only ..... sorry got SGH-I727R
Some of them do have Rogers ROMs but I read of Sleep of Death and losing LTE connection..... sorry too buggy and I NEED LTE or I would of got the Galaxy Nexus.
Finally what I really want is ICS and NOT ICS themed ROMs
None of them are for me but I check everyday when a ICS ROM comes out I will try it.
Finally I recommend you NEVER try Roms if you are not sure that you can restore.
I have backuped my ROMs, Apps and Data, APNs I am 95% certain I can recover from anything.
For that other 5% I have Odin and the orginal Rogers ROM
Just to agree with everyone else, you've got to try them out. There's no harm in it as long as you've done your nandroid back up, you're pretty safe when it comes to reverting back to your previous ROM and settings.
Reading the features and change logs for each of them helps alot... but it still doesn't give you a full grasp of what it has to offer until you flash and test it.
