Hey guys! Every android phone is getting 2.2 exept the hero. But don't worry.... we'll give you an updated 2.1 that fixes sprint TV and NFL mobile....... The crowd goes wild!
If they really are only releasing an updated 2.1 then they really are major a-holes.

i agree, we do not need a 2.1 update when almost every other phone gets 2.2. who knows maybe they will surprise us with froyo.

Not true. We would need a Legend/Aria/MT3G Slide 2.2 ROM to port it over. IIRC, the Desire has an ARMv7 processor while the Hero has an ARMv6 processor

you are right...i was thinking about the legend but the desire came into mind....
I've been running it for a few days and I have to say its a lot better than DG27, DI07, and DI18.
I would've preferred this over any of those official releases. It has its fair share of bugs, but their not hard to workaround once you figure them out and Its battery lasts loadsssssss longer than I did ith any any the official stock roms.
I can't go back to eclair lol. I need an official release of froyo now because it can only get better lol. I might not even have to root ith stock froyo at this rate :O

So is this a newer Froyo beta than DK05? I still haven't figured out the naming conventions.
I can't find it for download... am I missing something?

I don't think this is a newer build. The "J " indicates it was released in october. (J is the 10th letter of the alphabet).. and "k" is November

Oh, and then I suppose the last two digits are the date? Makes sense I guess. Until next year... but then maybe it will go to EXxx?

I don't think D a year; S. Korean Galaxy S (M110S) starts with "S" instead of "D."
Im pretty sure I read it confirmed that the first letter does stand for the years (age) of the android OS.. so a release next january 15 would be EA15. .. just like last year's releases were C. .. like CJ05

it is going to happen the nexus one can run it. Our phone is much more powerful that the the nexus S is very similar. They pulled back froyo. All signs point to us getting it but it will most likely take 2 months for binaries to be released and a build to be compiled. And I don't want to hear the nah sayers going on and on that you can't trust samsung blah blah blah... Even noob said we are getting it and I know he is on this inside track.

This isnt 3.0 it is a build upgrade from 2.1 a totally new build takes about 6months and upgrade is about 2 months.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
We will probably get it around the time that 3.0 comes out or 3.1 usually how it works. 2.3 comes out now..sprint releases 2.2 to epics... at least we get updates faster than most US carriers do. Look at evo. Sprint plz OTA 2.2 already.

Droid already has 2.2.1 - boss man got it last thursday OTA i think. He isn't rooted.
Droid X went live on the 10th as well.
All in all google is going to greater lengths to help push out the updates faster. Its one of the biggest gripes with android. Look to the gingerbread update to change things. After gingerbread android os will be much more uniform.

I expect things to change greatly once 3.0 comes out..this is when release cycles for android will slow down thus giving manufacturers more leeway..
Agreed. I think they are planning on phazing out UI overlays as well when 3.0 comes out. No more motoblur, sense, tw, etc. For the tech geek we like it because we port things over from other platforms. But the Ios boobs they just want something shiny and homoginized, and that's probably the demographing android wants to really take on

Utter misinformation.
As of today, Samsung's U.S. Galaxy S support site on Twitter still denies that there has been any such announcement.
@JoeBatson no official statement about updating US Galaxy S line to 2.3 has been made & we aren't prepared to discuss this at this time.

Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Well I wasn't particularly concerned with a Samsung released version of 3.0, as there is a "release" of 2.2 out for the Epic.
I would upgrade to 2.2 cause gingerbread source codes haven't been released yet...so it will take time for the Dev to port 2.3 over,cause their waiting for the source codes for 2.2 and 2.3....hope this helps
Just for the record gingerbread is 2.3 not 3.0....

The second sentence is correct.
This first one is not, unless you are just recalling rumor and speculation. Neither Samsung nor Sprint ever said Froyo would be delivered to Epics before the end of the year. Of course, the end of the year is now 17 days away.

Has anyone checked this at all? I'm guessing its probably ed01?
The pdf states it is in fact froyo with ed01.. at least it's here though, regardless of that fact!
Yep. According to BGR delivery starts tomorrow.
I'll have to check my wife's phone tonight/tomorrow to see what's up. However, the last update was posted on VZW site a couple of days before it was actual OTA on her phone.
anyone care to speculate on the steps required to receive the ota update if you're already running a leaked froyo modem/kernel/rom?
I settled into the stock de-binged ec01 modem & rom with imnuts' 100mv uv kernel... The rom allows me to check for ota updates - and as of now says no updates are available...
It'll be interesting to see if ota will try to update my "ec01" to an official ED01. I doubt it, and I doubt it would be successful if it tried...

Wondering the same thing. I have EB01 debloated (by urs truly) with EC01 radio. I'm able to run the status check but no update as of yet. gonna be interesting to see if they let me update to ED01. If past holds true I'll have to go back to EA28 then update that way....

According to the Post on Android central this will be a manual update and not OTA and that it will be ED01, which is the same as the leaked EC01.

I would advise most on here to hold off on the ota update. They are touting a "feature" of bing voice search, meaning deeper bing integration. Probably one of the things that held this update up so long. I'll be waiting for a stripped down rom. It's just a shame that the source is so bad that development on our phones is not going to be as robust as it should for all its power.

I would bet that ec01 is the stripped down rom & that the radio is the same ec01 leaked last week. Remember Adrynalyne said the build prop was altered to change the date for leak protection. They got it & already fixed it for us. You can't beat XDA!

Yeah i noticed that after seeing it on a few other sites. Bah!
Downloading OTA in NYC, I guess they released it nationwide.
Manual ED01 download links and update instructions for those who don't have the update available or want to download it and play with it first.
any ETA as to when a root tool will be available for the VZW 2.2 release?
