With 2.2 nearly here, why can't they use the guys working on 2.1 to concentrate all efforts on 2.2.. Are there going to be some users preferring eclair?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Froyo is an incremental upgrade to Eclair, rather than an overhaul. They are working on both, and the changes from the Eclair ROMs will be in the final Froyo ROM.

With recent tests of froyo on the nexus showing 450% speed incease over eclair.
Is there any thought of if it could be ported to older devices like the mytouch?
especially seeing as tmobile probaly wont roll out 2.1 for at least another month or so.
Sorry, stupid question

To be honest...
I think 2.1 is as far as the HTC Magic will go.... I think that both T-Mobile AND HTC is going to stop major Android updates to HTC Magic, when 2.1 is out...
But long live the custom ROMS! If its possibles for Magic's hardware to run 2.2 then the XDA devs will make it possible!
It seems that 2.1 is much faster and much more stable. What are the chances of getting a stable jit for 2.1? In my opinion this would be better than any 2.2 that's out right now. I know when I flash from baked snack 1.6 to any 2.2 beta rom it is a huge downgrade.

I think the chances are very slim, since we are on the cusp of froyo.

I suspect that you didn't get the full 2.2 experience as 2.2 is definetely an upgrade.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yea, well this is samsung and sprint... so probably feb. Just seems that with jit added to 2.1 would make a much better rom.

Yes I have experienced 2.2, its ok but nowhere near baked snack 1.6 w/ phoenix kernel set to interactive

several things about this statement, the only 2.2 experience u have had is from unfinished beta works, so its not the "real" 2.2 experience, second, i dont see any custom kernels for our froyo yet, would probably be since there hasn't been a source release? so of course once the official build comes out there will be rooted/oc'd/custom kernels shortly after that perform much better than stock

Yea, he did but it is very unstable... I was just hoping one of our awesome developers could capitalize on it.

Jit is designed for 2.2 I believe. And it's pointless to even bother trying to get it to work since we'll have froyo soon. Once official froyo is out and the kernel source is released, we'll have things that leave baked snack 1.6 in the dust. Just be patient, it'll be here soon

I hear ya.. I am just tired of samsung support and im thinking of trading for the evo. The evo will be getting gingerbread anyday now according to a sprint rep. Not sure how reputable that is but he swears on it! And the evo is a rom junkies dream! Lol but damn, epic has so much potential.. never get another samsung though...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
First off gingerbread isn't completely finished yet, second gingerbread hasn't even been released to manufacturers, and it hasn't even shown fully so the rep who told you that is full of hit
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yea that sprint rep was full of it or doesn't know his shizz, as is true for most sprint reps

But that's only a constructor who have said that. Not Google at all.
So at this time we don't know if the right version is 2.3 or 2.4 !
2.0 and 2.1 also were both called eclair. So what's the big deal. 2.4 is just as much an update as 2.1 or 2.2

im seeing a few 2.2.1 roms on the android development vibrant forums, and i'm wondering what you guys think about it.
i'm currently running eugene's deadhorse test34, and kb1 modem, with original bionix v, and it's working the way i want it. gonna get a ffc eventually, but don't have the money for it right now.
is the difference between 2.2 and 2.2.1 worth the data wipe? or just keep rolling with a 2.2 rom?
****i actually meant for this to be in vibrant Q&A, move if necessary*****
Theres a2.2.1? WHERE?!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952910
I didn't notice any real difference other than slightly better battery life.
psh 2.2.1....
Cm7 ftw

Where can I get cm7 for the vibrant? That's the 2.3 one, right? Is it fully stable and include a working 2.3 kernel(with bln)?

2.2.1 offers hardware accelleration and fixes a few bugs.

are you saying that this wipes the internal or external sd card?
--i though it just wiped data (of course like most roms) and wipes the laucher pro backup?
You wont see an appreciable difference. I'm happy with 2.2 and will probably only switch roms if the next point releases based on 2.2 source are particularly compelling. I've tried a few 2.2.1 roms, but they've all been built with i9k source so they've got their quirks. Definitely usable but the little problems amount to a rom that can be annoying to use daily.

Look in the q and a section of vibrant. It has a working vibrant kernel and scrizz has the flashable modem. Everything works fine, cept for the home and search button but there's an app to put it on the home screen. All support you need is in scrizz's thread in general section. Running it now, its the fastest thing I've ever used.

Now that the official Froyo release has dropped and we have custom roms like ACS and Bonsai with the new modem. Is that it? I don't image our phones will ever get gingerbread, and if they do it'll be in 2013 when we all have newer better phones and Android 6.0 is out. I guess im wondering if there is anything to look forward to in the development arena for the Epic in the future?
Froyo bug fixes, CM7, official Gingerbread, maybe a GB bug fix update, then EOL, up to the community.

I have afeeling we have atleast 1 more year of good development to come,peaking in about 3-6 months,then declining the other 6. Not that development ever really took off,I would blame the update situation for this.

Yeah I hope so. I think samsung def screwed the pooch on this with all the froyo delays. Who knows when we'll/if we will see gingerbread
