Most all of Android's OS updates are OTA. I am sure it will be for the Inc.

I would agree. The question is.... when? Everything I've read says "sometime in the fall".
Well, Google has a lot at stake in Froyo, so I hope that they're going to make sure it's fully baked before they release it. Plus they have the Flash factor - another reason to hold it until that's really done.
Given that, I don't expect 2.2 to appear in official OTA's for at least a couple of months and then HTC Sense builds are always behind the general release. Then you add the delay from the service providers (incl. Verizon) and Froyo OTA for Incredible in the Fall is almost optimistic =:-o
Rooted phones will always have it sooner...
Has the N1 not had the official Froyo OTA for weeks now?
They started deploying to the N1 and then stopped. Much speculation abounds about why, but no official explanation that I've seen. My g/f has a N1 and is about to drive me crazy wondering when she's gonna get Froyo. And when she does, I'm sure I'll be jealous for a few months

Ditto that
yeah can we stop naming threads "official froyo update" when there is nothing official, froyo-like or update-ilicious about it. this is a question, first google search, and if ur still unsatisfied then put a question mark in your post title.

I was reading some phone webite and it said the offical release from Verizon was to be expected in August. Take that with a grain of salt as we all know how these "official" dates can move around at will.
a vzw rep told me that it was coming out july 15-16.

Its always more fun to laugh with others. Do all of yourselves a favor and do a google and youtube search for rr12106....Best [email protected] 3v3r haha
Id post links but cant...new member but take a look its worth it
lmfoa aka droidhacker...and i forget the other alias
His great froyo "ROMS", methods, and "froyo flashing apps"
Yeah, check out his Twitter account. He tried to get a Froyo build from Koush. I think you all can imagine why.
http://twitter.com/rr12106
omg haha...his twitter really is ridiculous. He is begging koush for cyanogen froyo rom. And obviously im sure koush wont give him a thing to "test" it for him, but I can bet he would rip it off of him first chance he got, only to come here and the rest of the android community and try convincing people he is the best developer ever.
It really is so sad that he tries to play make believe with his mad developer skills, yet all i can do is crack up at his fabricated stories. He is just sooo absurd. We have all seen how he posts things and finally after being backed into a corner by people who really know what they are talking about, he crumbles and apologizes with things like "im sorry im trying...i just love to develop and hack droids...uh dur". The way this kid acts on these forums mirrors his awesome youtube videos to a "T".
Anyway def needs ip ban. His "roms" and other methods and claims are really going to end up bricking some good and honest people new to android, or at the very least give the community forums some bad rep.

And if they told you Verizon was going GSM tomorrow, would you be gullible enough to believe that, too?
Seriously, a run of the mill VZW employee has no insight whatsoever into the release. Only a core group, none of which are going to be dealing with customers, is going to be in the know regarding a target date. That guy in the store or on the other end of the phone... he isn't privy to any kind of information about this just yet.
Hell, at this point, HTC states that they haven't even finished their work on Froyo. After they're done with their work, they perform testing. After that, it goes to VZW for them to do further testing and then get signed off on. All of this isn't going to happen in the next two weeks.
I know we can root and remove the crap we dont want but is there a 2.2 ROM to install yet ?

Not to be an ass, but If you don't see it here chances are it's not available yet. I believe XDA to be the central hub of information (even if the news originates somewhere else). If there is news it won't be hidden on the Development page.
Look in the forums of the other Galaxy S variants to see the status of Froyo on this Samsung line of devices. I believe it will be a little while before one is released for a CDMA version.

You were nicer than I was going to be, so I just decided to just bite my tongue, and let someone else respond first.
This is my first smartphone, so instead of this thread just dropping to the bottom, maybe myself and others could learn something.
What exactly needs to be done with Froyo (or any ROM) before it can be adapted to a particular phone, in this case, the fascinate?
I suppose keeping it in relative lay-speak would be nice as well.
Having samsung release a 2.2 ROM for the US Galaxy S phones would be a start.
The euro variants have a different button layout among other things that makes life harder for our development.

We need samsung to release the 2.2 update, and that will give you 2.2
As far as custom roms / CyanogenMod 6 on the fascinate, we will need the 2.6.32 kernel source code to drop (and pray that Samsung will release the right source when they release that code) and then a bit of developing.
you really think there will even be a 2.2? Personally, I think it would be updated straight to Gingerbread
There's a post from kaos on the kaos rom for eris forms stating that he had 2.2 running on his fascinate before it bricked, but that he MIGHT be developing a rom for the fascinate.
I'll see if I can track down the post.

We'll be so lucky if Kaos gets one working with the Fascinate, I had an Eris prior to the Fascinate and I was talking to him about developing for it, looks like he found someone to help him out.
His ROM > all others once they start rolling out.
Coming from an eris I would love to have punk kaos rom on my fascinate.
I'm coming from an eris too, and had kaos on mine, and about creamed myself after reading that, hahaha.....Even if kaos came out with a 2.1, id be all set.
LOL, same here. I got a late start with KaosFroyo, coming in at V30, after I discovered that one-touch root was finally available for the Eris. I had one month of the best Android experience possible on an Eris before I ordered up my new Fascinate. I wish I had the cash to buy a Fascinate for punk kaos, so he could start creating what could only become the best Fascinate ROM ever!
EDIT: Just saw the post where he said he's already working on one. Awesome!!! I'll DEFINITELY be donating to his coffee fund once he starts pumping out a ROM for this bad boy. Hmm, what will he name it though? I vote for Kaoscinate!
Yes, its true. I've been working on a 2.2 rom for the Fascinate. I got it to boot but was in the very early stages of dev when my phone let out a puff of smoke and died.
I got the phone through a sponsor, and have returned the phone to them and they're trying to get me another one. Hopefully they will soon and I can keep on truckin

Well, if you're sure
Just sent over some coffee cash for all the hard work on KaosFroyo, since I never got around to actually donating before. And also, I'm not done with it yet, as I'm loading up V35-1 on my deactivated Eris to let a co-worker with a live Eris play with. She's unhappy with 2.1, so she might want me to give her phone the same treatment, since she's stuck in a 2-year contract.
Anyway, looking forward to you getting a replacement Fascinate. Did it literally start smoking before it died? Dang, I knew these phones were hot, but that's just a bit over the top.
Sorry to say but, at this point (unless someone pulls a miracle), it looks like the vibrant wont make the CM 6.1 release

@noobnl_epic
@wesgarner @TheDudesAndroid @cyanogen @koush should be removed
the link in wes's tweet says
Change I36172fd3: vibrant: Temporarily remove from CM manifest
vibrant: Temporarily remove from CM manifest
Reasons:
1. It doesn't compile - this can be fixed, though
2. It doesn't work... - currently the kernel inside the repo doesn't work plus the build system is not set up to flash the kernel
3. The Vibrant repo is about 2mths old
4. The Vibrant repo contains proprietary. On my fork, I have changed everything over to use extract-files, removed proprietary from all commits using filter-branch
We can refork my repo for the Vibrant, but at the same time - it still isn't ready, so mostly having it on the CM repos for 6.1 RC's this weekend is pretty pointless considering where we are in getting CM6 for the Vibrant
My manifest (git://github.com/wesgarner/android.git) is setup for the current Galaxy S repos (aka my Vibrant repo and noobnl's Epic repo), but this is still such a WIP that keeping it on CM repos really just confuses people about the current status and makes it seem like it's ready when it isn't

Of course, i may be completely wrong. We can always hope

You cant expect one guy to make a rom for all android devices. If it doesnt work. O well. I mean there are other roms out there for those wanting to mess with there phones. Bionix is one. And many more to come to the vibrants way. You ppl keep asking these devs who have other lives outside xda. And then get pissed when theres no special rom for ur phone. C'mon now.

the donations were made to wes/scepterr... that has nothing to do with CM. true they are members of the CM team, but all they ever said was that they had plans to port CM6... that doesn't mean they have to, and anyone who decided to donate should have realized that a PLAN does not equal a promise.
if it fails, well crap. if they come back to it later and it works, hooray! until then, your donations belong to whoever you donated to. because that's how donations work.

Wow.... Are you serious? d
First you're comparing your Vibrant to a G1, of course it will be better! Even with a stock Vibrant.
Second, the CM guys or any dev for this matter, who gives their free time to make ROMs and MODs for peasants like you and I who cant do it ourselves, are assholes?! How?!
Third, yes it only takes one talented dev to build a ROM from scratch, but without the SOURCE they have no base to work on. It really isnt easy to make a ROM from scratch, and as far as I know only a few devs have successfully done so. Most of them base it on another dev's work or samsung itself...

Haha.... You think that the bionix ROM came from scratch??? He took eugenes base from the Ftwiz ROM. He even says it in the credits. Not trying to sell the ROM or development short, because it is a great ROM.
All the devs that are tied to the vibrant are trying to reverse engineer the code to get the 2.2 source which samsung has not released. Building 2.2 with out the source code is like building a sky scrapper from the top to the bottom, everything will crash. Where as 2.1 with source is building from ground up, you start from a solid foundation, then work your way up...
Wes also stated to anyone who wanted there money back, they can email him for a refund.
Just give it time. The source for the i9000 froyo was just released; it will come eventually, but development is going to lag behind that for the Nexus One, Dinc, etc. Just be glad we're getting some kind of CM; think of all the other phones that aren't even on the list.

after reading their various tweets regarding them passing the buck on vibrant development, yes, they're assholes. it was clearly a joke to them because they know it's a huge hassle, so they should have just said it was probably never going to happen. i'm very grateful for the handful of devs that have actually stepped up and made this phone into what it should have been out of the box. it was clear that the cm team never cared in the first place.

it would be a huge victory for Samsung to pass on froyo and release GB within the week. It would catapult them past HTC and motorola in the significance area of Android development. I think they need to do this if they want to regain lost respect.
Since Nexus S is galaxy S with GB on it already and is basically 99.9 the same as our phone, I definitely think it's doable. I would definitely prefer gingerbread. I want it just for the newer copy/paste feature.
God man, all this misinformation. Let me clear it up for you. We are most likely NOT going to skip froyo (2.2). Gingerbread (2.3) has ALREADY BEEN RELEASED and it is on a phone called the Nexus S on T-Mobile USA. Honeycomb (2.4 or 3.0) is for tablets in its current form. Man, this getting ridiculous.

Verizon sucks. Good for USC though. Actually, more folks should tweet @SamsungCarla about source, since I believe she promised a quick drop. Forget asking about Fascinate stuff -- Mesmerize kernel code is just as good for us.

I like the changes in froyo as much as anyone else. What I don't understand is if froyo makes or breaks a phone a for you why didn't you buy a phone with froyo already released. We had a choice and decided to buy a phone with 2.1 instead of 2.2 there were options avaliable. The fascinate with the exception of the gps issue works great out of the box. Okay once it was debinged it was better, and if I had known about the bing thing I would not have bought the phone. Also thank you devs for all your hard work at making a good product even better.

I agree with you except for the bing thing. Did I want bing? No. But it was easy enough to make it mostly disappear even without root.
But I 100% agree on buying a phone for what it can do off the shelf. Once the GPS was fixed the Fasc was a perfectly competent smart phone. Believing in the 'promise' of a wireless carrier is kind of like believing the dentist when he says 'this won't hurt a bit'.

Not kaos. It's full steam ahead for Kaoscinate now. Kaos doesn't have a tbolt, at least not yet. This may be a selfish statement, but I hope he doesn't get one, because we need him focused on this phone, and I still feel bad for taking his focus away from his Eris roms, which haven't got much love since he got the Fascinate. I'm confident that he'll be getting back to them once a fully functional Kaoscinate release is up and running though, which should be soon now with the source code available.
