I know Froyo was just recently announced, and the incredible has yet to be rooted, but assuming that it eventually does get rooted, is it unreasonable to assume there will be a way to get a stock 2.2 ROM onto a rooted incredible?
I just read over on engadget that "most" HTC devices will get Froyo by the end of the year, and being a sense-based device, I would assume it would be receiving a Sense-ified 2.2. Thanks for all the help.

Just a few threads down this is being discussed. It looks like Evo, Droid, Incredible will be getting it in June. This is not a huge leap like it was going from 1.6 to 2.1. It shouldn't take too long for this to be rolled to all.

The Droid Incredible and the Droid are two different phones by two different manufacturers.
For our phones there's no specific information, just that Droid Incredible and other flagship phones are a priority.
I would guess that if the EVO gets it, we are too, considering they're both CDMA, SenseUI, and are the flagship android phones for the carrier they're on. it wouldn't make sense not to.
Yes yes, as I pointed out in that thread. I was piggy backing off of your hope and optimism. My bad.

I never implied we were getting it in June. All I ever said was that the N1 and Droid were getting it in June, because they're both stock Android.
The only way we're getting it in June is if we manage to root by then and can install a port.
Even if we don't, we'll be among the first SenseUI phones to get it. When exactly that is depends on a lot of things, how different the API for 2.2 is, how long it takes HTC to produce Sense for 2.2, how long carrier testing takes, whether there's an early leak, etc
Well I can tell you this much, jit and sense do not play nice together, so it may be awhile for HTC to get all the bugs worked out.
Its supposed to be way faster than even 2.1 so on our device it should be awesome. I just wish (though I doubt HTC will do it) they would give us the option to turn off Sense UI. Its nice but it really should be optional. That would make 2.2 complete for me without rooting. Otherwise this phone will never be complete for me until rooted.

Sorry if this question has been asked in any of the other threads involving Froyo - but are there any specific reasons why SenseUI and JIT don't work well together? Is this based on experiences with custom ROMs for other devices using JIT and SenseUI or is this something that's a bit more officially recognized?

This is based off of others using a incomplete version of JIT from eclair and attempting to use it on eclair.
as soon as my incredible has root with custom recovery i will be releasing a 2.2 custom froyo rom based on stock 2.2 as well as porting any 2.2 sense leaks that are released. all we need is root

We (Sprint users) won't see the update next month. Sprint has already said that they will release their update sometime in the 2nd Quarter (Apr-Jun). The delay is so that they can add/optimize their bloatware garbage that most of us end up uninstalling anyway...
Not like anyone is gunna unroot and update anyway besides well have it before Sprint even thinks about realeasing it maybe even bored of it lol

Pretty much everyone will unroot for 2.1. What makes you think people are going to stick with old roms or buggy 2.0+ when they can have the real 2.1? Im sure once some decent custom roms for 2.1+ start surfacing people will start using them but until then stock 2.1 > Rooted 1.5.
That said sprint has already officially said Q2 just a couple days ago. Regardless of what the rumor mills say no update next month.

I imagine that a lot of people will indeed wait until the XDA devs release their own 2.1 update. Many, if not most, will not upgrade to a new 2.1 official release if they don't know if it can be rooted.

I seriously doubt that anyone here (besides you) will unroot for the update. Why? Because the root hole will almost certainly be closed and may not be able to be rooted again. Eris owners still do not have root. That is something that most people here will not give up. When the update arrives, the incredible devs here will have it working "with" root within a couple of days and that is the route most will take.

Well to be honest, I am rooted and I will NOT be unrooting for 2.1. Matter of fact I will be running 2.1 sooner than sprint will be releasing it. But once they do, I will be running a customized 2.1 which will be better than Sprints simply because it will be optimized and without all the bloatware I don't want. There's no way I would want to give up having root. Just my 2 cents though.

Yeah, because it makes sense to stay with the old roms just for tethering and nandroid.
Its not like the iphone jailbreaking where undoing it loses all of your third party programs and customizations to the phone. The only real reasons to even root an android phone are tethering, backups and custom roms.
stock 2.1 > all of these custom roms. Unless you absolutely NEED tethering there is no plausible reason to stay with the old roms.
The majority of Hero owners will update as soon as they know about it.
However, the vast majority of users of this forum (and others) will wait to update until there's a complete custom ROM out for 2.1. It doesn't make any sense to update from an optimized custom 1.5 (or 1.6+) ROM to a stock 2.1 with some crappy apps added in, when you could wait for a few hours and get an optimized and custom 2.1 ROM.

I think there will be a few folks that will update, but most of the people on this forum ARE regulars, and I think they'll probably be patient and wait for a custom ROM before unrooting. The talent we've got in this community will get a custom ROM out very quickly anyway I imagine.
Im gonna be waiting and with the speed and how far along our 2.1 builds are we will probably have 2.1 sooner than Sprint's update anyway

No you wont...
Look around you, the best you can hope for is a new leaked rom. The only 2.1 rom we have is dead in the water with too many bugs to truly be used day to day.
Realistically the first real working 2.1 rom will be at least a week after the official.
So HTC just tweeted that the 2.1 rollout for the Droid Eris starts TODAY. This blows. =[

At least if it happened in the wild on 2.1, we'd be able to moan at Sprint, instead of the devs..
Just sayin'
I don't know why people are still upset. You bought it with 1.5. It is not a right to get 2.1. And besides, we have 2.1. Almost bugless. I'd even say it's got less bugs than the 2.1 we will get.

Name one phone on the planet that has been updated from 1.5 or 1.6 to 2.1 before today.
Who is this "everyone else" that you're talking about. The Droid Eris is the only Android phone on earth that has received such an update. If you believe the Best Buy leaks from last week, Sprint nearly beat Verizon to the punch, but evidently found a bug at the last minute.

you do realize however stable our current 2.1 roms are they are far from the final we will get.
I'm not sure what the big deal is. Now the devs can start making GPL requests for the Eris 2.1 kernel code... Should speed up the rooted, optimized ROMs after the Hero source comes out. Is anyone really going back to Sprint RUU when they release this ? All this means is that Verizon QC for software updates isn't as good as Sprint's -- I'd watch for a Verizon maintenance release about a week after Sprint drops the update.
Does getting the Eris ROM and eventually it's source help make the Hero's ROMS better?
Edit. Or what he said...

Great news that Android 2.2 will be added onto the MyTouch.
With that hopefully Cyanogen can get his hands on it as well and get it going for our G1s as well
He is already out with it. It is still under test and lot of things are broken in it, but if you wanna try Froyo just for the heck of it, you can on G1 and Mytouch

Actually, what this will mean is that we will be able to get a STABLE 2.2. The state of "cyanogen stable" is actually extremely unstable.

You seem to be confused.
There are 2.2 "ports", based on the EMULATOR IMAGE that comes with the SDK. They don't work in even a marginally usable fashion though -- they're not even worth wasting 10 seconds on.
i downgraded from cyan 6 and unrooted ... asa root was undone i got the first half of 2 files for an OTA. Ditched the phone today in favor of a keyboard (seeing as their essentially the same) before i got the rest of it. It IS coming boys!!!

Absolutely agree. Thats precisely what i'm waiting on. It would be really nice to see other builds come out based on oem. We will see what happens soon. Enomther is waiting to start working on just that i believe. Cant wait to see what he come up with.
The Rom in my signature is based on the OTA for MyTouch/Sapphire and it is amazing.

Enom is one of the first Roms I flashed, he is also up there for reliability.
Will see what he releases as well.
Hopefully he will have an apps2ext built into his Rom.
Honestly the black theme and the above mentioned is the only thing that is missing from the Official AOSP 2.2 OTA
There is a workaround using Titanium Backup however but would want a more streamlined approach to accomplish this.
Many people think it is dead and there are no devs working on it anymore, but this isnt true. There are still multiple devs with this phone, yes some are working on other phones but look at this device, it has everything. We already have Froyo, and really we need the source to get the bluetooth working so now were only waiting for HTC to release the source. You could be on another device that is outdated or even unsupported anymore.
So be patient, well be getting S-Off and Official Froyo soon

I'm not a developer, but I do know that this would be an extremely difficult task due to different screen resolutions. Just wait for official TMO Slide 2.2 and we'll have some great roms no doubt about that.

We are. T Mobile has confirmed it on many occasions. If froyo is on the myTouch 3G...we will 100% get it on the Slide.
By the time we get official Froyo, there will be Gingerbread already for some devices I think. I wish they skipped Froyo to release Gingerbread update instead.
From HTC and Tmo's standpoint, updating these phones is gotta be the last thing on there minds.
Face it updating these phones doesn't make them any money.
Frankly they'd both be happier if you just bought another phone.
Manufacturers and Telco's are in the business of selling phones and cellular service.
Not making FREE updates.
I realize if we had official froyo from Tmo and the bluze source that would add additional functionality to our phones,
but, personally I don't even care.
What I mean is that I'm satisfied with what team douche and the bunch, as well as other devs are doing and have done for our phone.
I put more faith in what they will come up with than waiting on anything from HTC and Tmo.
You people(not all) are impatient, I had a cliq and they promised us 2.1 update last december, you when cliq users got it? Acouple weeks ago! Ya ok it maybe a little while but if you had any consideration of what their doing, youd be a little more patient. They have port the whole rom to 2.2, some may say that isnt so hard you go and try and port a app or something from 2.1 to 2.2, Goodluck. Also I talked to Cheifz and he said S-Off is done for the Slide and AlphaRev is waiting to finish S-Off for another device so they can release both at the sametime.

I see this claim bandied about often, but can anyone cite a press release to back this claim up? Anyone? Beuller? Yeah...

Third paragraph.
So why does the Epic have 2.2.1 and we only have 2.2??? can someone pull the 2.2.1 kernel and stick it in one of our roms???
2.2 for us was the "here's your froyo, now shut up" update for us.
2.2.1 is coming but it's back to the waiting game.
Just be happy we got an official 2.2 and source code.

Agreed... now lets hope some amateur rapper doesnt turn this into a revolution.
That person might have to get sued by Sammy or something first

I understand why they pushed it out to us, but still if they have 2.2.1 on the Epic then we should, at the very least, have seen one or two leaked builds with 2.2.1. So far all of our post "shutup" release's have all been 2.2 and those have even stopped coming.
I guess my main reason for posting was not really complaining as much as could we rip the Epic apart and use it in our custom ROM's?

Krylon360 mentioned that Samsung changed their ports they used for their ROM updates so they have had issues trying to find the ROMs.
Does the Galaxy S 4G ship with 2.2.1 or still 2.2? If so, then the old Vibrant may have just been passed over (hopefully only temporarily).
The Epic shipps with Eclair. It just got its FroYo update, and it's 2.2.1 instead of just 2.2.
2.2.1 on Galaxy S phones runs much better than 2.2 (which has worse performance than JI6 on our phones, IMHO).
The reason why we don't have 2.2.1 is because so many people cried about the Vibrant following the Vibrant 4G announcement and T-Mobile/Samsung wanted to save face.
The fact that they pushed 2.2 out and they haven't heard many complains about KA6 from customers (I haven't seen many on FB/Twitter/T-Mo Forums) means that getting 2.2.1 out to Vibrant 3G users is probably one of their lowest priorities.

Probably true. As if I needed another reason to be thankful for XDA / it's generous members.
I was under the impression that 2.2.1 was only for the 4g variants of the galaxy s.... maybe I was misinformed...

never heard that, and 2.2.1 is on the nexus one so it is not an upgrade for 4G reasons. The OS version really doesn't do anything for connectivity.
