So when the 2.1 from Sprint gets released what changes for us?

It seems to me thanks to the leak, we have everything an official release would have, except the bugs . Why is everyone anticipating it so much?

1. fresh kitchen.
2. kernel source code for the .29 kernel.
3.??

I think it is more for the code guys, because once they release officially then leagally HTC has to release the source (which they probably wont without pestering again) but that will allow the code monkeys (no offence you guys are awesome) to work their magic and get things really improved.

That is a very good question. I am completely happy with what I have now. Fresh 2.0d is, IMO, as good as it gets.

Thank you. That makes perfect sense. I had forgotten about the Kernel being OSS.

Some of you guys are completely delusional. The official release is going to fix an enormous number of bugs that currently exist in all 2.1-leak-based roms.

im not sure what bugs you are refering to. I have 0 problems with my phone (except when I mess with stuff)

First the OFFICIAL version shouldn't have us running back and forth to FIX little things.
Loading a ROM after the release should be as smooth as say....Fresh 1.1
I haven't had to FIX anything in that ROM and everything works.
My 2 cents is that being able to find the thread you want with the ROM dev you like and then load that ROM would be sweet.
But sifting thru' 200 plus pages and being asked to fix the ROM is weird for me.
Seems the dev would ADD the fix and re-release?.....no?
But like everyone else, I'm waiting for the OFFICIAL release before jumping into making assorted changes which we ALL might have to re-change when the release comes about.
Thanks,
Bubba.

The forums are called 'XDA DEVELOPERS'. If you (not you specifically but in general) are going to ***** and whine because the ROMs you're using aren't 100% flawless...you're in the wrong place. Sit down shut up and wait for the official release. These ROMs aren't perfect, nor are they intended to be...but by and large they're a hell of a lot better than the crap Sprint has consistently put out (both Android and WinMo).
As for 'fixing huge amount of bugs'....umm..I doubt it. I doubt Sprint would even be aware of most of them were it not for developers and testers like those here on XDA.

With the update to 2.1, Hero users will be able to activate an ancient supernatural power known as Voltron. We can either use it to better humanity...or destroy society.... I call dibs on the head.

well i never really had any problems since i rooted and installed the roms that ive gotten from xda (damage 2.0r3 and now 2.07.2) to be honest they have been much more bug free than the stock rom 1.56 that i origionally had. so im sticking with xda and to go back and never be able to root again.... well thats scarry

froyo roms

just curious as to the status on these, havent heard much in a while, not pushing anyone just curious
installed stock froyo on my friends droid and loved it myself, so fast

Yea I am in the same boat. If a FROYO rom based off the source is released in the next few days Ill want to try it if not I'm going to try out KaosFroyo V10.

i have a feeling that as soon as kaos gets froyo perfect that then they will start from there, beings that we don't seem to be getting an official OTA update.

I believe some devs are working with the source that Google released for 2.2. While kayo's is based of a dump from another phone that is being ported.

currently wifi, blue tooth, gps, jit and mms don't work. possibly camera too, not sure. other than that it is a very smooth build. kaos is on vacation until next Monday i think he said, so won't be any updates until then.
also shouldn't be too much longer til cyanogen 6.0 comes out, cyan froyo.

You have to understand 2.2 wasnt made for our phones. Kaos is working on it.. Patience... trust me we at AndIRC are very anxious for more improvement on this rom.

I have been using Cyanogen Eris Lightning Bolt 2.7 and it is a terrific rom. Once the good folks over at cyanogenmod.com release their froyo port the dev said he will begin work for the next update of lightning bolt. In the mean time I seriously suggest you check out this rom. Should be about a week.

That was my understanding at least. Because as soon as the source was released we had sound and lights and overclocking. But honestly the cyanogen mod froyo release gives me goosebumps to think about how jit is honestly going to react once its on the correct setup.
+1,000,000 to whoever gets JIT working on an Eris FroYo rom

Jit will likely be in the kaosfroyo 11, he already made reference to why it wasn't working. Also darchstar had it running in his froyo for the hero for awhile now.

It has a new bootloader - be careful, if it is locked you may not be able to flash anything else . . . wait for confirmation.

we need a reoriented kernel before we can flash, correct?

Perhaps, but first we must find out if the bootloader is locked down...
Give it some time it looks buggy as hell

It's not like we have to do too terribly much to get this working. All the captivate specific stuff has been the same code changes through all the updates as far as I am aware. I'm completely psyched for this to happen though! I'm not a big fan of Cyanogen's UI and lack of google apps, so this is going to be awesome!

The i9000 folks say the bootloader is not locked, still has download mode working, so it's possible to go back. Not advocating anyone flash this, just reporting.
They also said Samsung stripped out the Gingerbread visual tweaks (like that screen off animation), which sucks. They also currently don't have root, so market fingerprint is not editable, and TiBu won't work.

This seems like a very early alpha. None of GB stuff (animations etc) are in and there are still a few issues.
This is step in the right direction, but lets hope we have another leak later on.

Hmm n here I been running CM 7. Its interesting how fast Samsung went to 2.3, can't wait to see what the devs do with this

A day or so of the ROM on the i9000 boards and those problems should be fixed. those guys are badasses!

I am the excite.
On a more serious note; I've seen multiple replies to the original thread saying that Download mode works.
This looks promising.

Leaked 2.3 ROM FOR i9000 GALAXY S

http://www.samfirmware.com/apps/blog/entries/show/6282349-android-2-3-2-leaks-for-galaxy-s-
This is a just leaked rom for the galaxy s. hopefully the devs can use it for the vibrant.

well even if not at least we know now that Samsung wasn't lying about March for the euro/Asian markets.

Nice, hopefully we will be able to use this to our advantage?
Also, couldn't we flash this since we now have the kernel that allow us to flash i900 ROMS? If we could just flash those files, then flash the kernel through Odin somehow it might work. Idk though, I'm no dev.

GINGERBREAD leaked
damb, this is so great, im thinking maybe tonight we might have a port for the vibrant, and i wonder if eugene and krylon know about this considering, it just today got leaked, a few hours ago.............. anyways, everyone post on this, lets get the hype going, we want this baby ported ASAP.. always thanks so much eugene and krylon, my brothers of galaxy android

So far from what i've read over there...
Looks like quadrant scores are not improved over 2.2 which is what i'm sure most people are hoping for. It also appears that the screen off animation is not present in the rom. It's also using Touchwiz 3.0 and not 4. Market is broken, and gingerbread keyboard also not included. Looks like an early beta build from what i've read.
**edit**
market is working, they have root access, and they are in the process of deodexing.

So far from what i've read over there...
damn double post. please delete

Sweet, hope we can get some cooked roms soon

The bad thing about it, it uses touchwiz 3.0, not stock.

The kernel that allows us to flash i9000 ROMs is only 2.2 and 2.2.1 compatible. I'm pretty sure someone would have to build a new kernel to let us flash that or port the ROM over.

The crowds are getting restless over there. They're in an uproar about "this is missing" and "that is missing". One of the complaints is about the gingerbread wallpaper being missing. But these guys forget that our 2.1 devices didn't come with stock 2.1 walls. They instead came with whatever wallpapers samsung gave us. Overall it's starting to sound more complete than the first froyo leaks that we used to have which is reassuring. Some of the guys say that the leak is stable and everything is working on their devices. One of the nice improvements they're reporting is functioning hardware acceleration.

No TV-off?! NOooOoO!

Funny to see their behavior over it when we are just sinking our teeth into 2.2.1. Maybe its a good thing though.. I myself am so pleased with the performance boost of 2.2.1 that I'm in no rush to flash again but of course I'm in the minority on that.

Na I'm with you on that, running Bionix 1.3 and it really is just as fast as CM7 was for. Really the only thing that gingerbread had over this ROM is that the applications list loaded faster. Plus on this I have themes

I am itching...for a new build

Man when is a new build going to come out?
I am just about ready to release my own custom rom with a lot of new additions not seen before on the streak... don't want to spoil the features... would love to introduce them on a new build!

fards,
First, I really appreciate what you've done to make our Streaks performing better, as the likes of DJ_Steve, Krad, Spidla, and others. Your dedication to the dev of this great device has been invaluable. I did think before posting my comment. I know there have been communications around gingerbread coming to Dell Streak during the winter and that the source code had been posted which DJ_Steve had utilized in this ROM, but having said that there is no definitive answer to this question until the update is pushed out to us. If you read my comment you will notice that I stated that I don't think that there will be an official GB build. I hope that we get it, obviously, I'm just "don't believe it til I see it" kind of guy.
I would like to state again that I really respect your work and hope you will see the slight difference in the point I was making.

Can you post a link to that? Cause if you can't it might be because it's a closed beta that the dev has not released yet. So telling people to install something that isn't available isn't very useful.

Gee - that's my point. So why do people keep suggesting the Streakdroid betas as a fix to various problems?
I would recommend the version of Ice Cream Sandwich my Streak is running but i would get kicked out of the testing program. But it works really well, you should see the beta version of Google space maps it includes and it will stream music from any source within 50 miles in stealth mode!
