Froyo now in beta testing - Epic 4G General

Just what the title says - a few days ago, Froyo was put into beta testing for the Epic 4G. The photo is cropped as to not get anyone into trouble. I just thought it might be nice to know that it's getting closer!
Since I'm new (not very many posts - I tend to just search & read), I can't post a full link, so you'll have to copy & paste. Sorry!

Here's the pic.

Looks pretty much identical to my epics "about phone" but it wouldn't be hard to falsify so I'll reserve my opinion till there's more to go on
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Not shocked. I've heard dates from anywhere from about 2 weeks to late december, so its likely testing is going on.

Tough crowd. How is it spam? I have an Epic, it has Froyo on it. I just don't want to get my Sprint contact in trouble. What do you want to know?

I wanna see you put it up for all of us to test instead of rubbing it in our faces, and say you are beta testing Froyo.

If you'll let me know how to, I will. Will a nandroid backup do, or do I need to do something else? Will a nandroid backup put any identifiable information out that might endanger my Sprint contact (ESN, phone number, etc)?

Hm, I spoke too soon. I should have figured that the update would have overridden the ClockworkMod, and I can't reinstall it because I don't have root access.

Why not?! This would drastically help the community

Oh Im pretty sure it would, just that HE wont post it.

So, for now I'll ignore the guy who's being an ass, and see what I can do. Is there a good app I can backup my current config so I can do a factory reset before I use Odin? I'm used to using nandroid and Titanium, but I'm hosed without root.

So yea, only 1 guy ANYWHERE has a beta of Froyo. Cmon, sounds like the boy who cried wolf. Besides, it wouldve been leaked already. Anyone remember the Moment leak? Hero leak? Evo leak? Prove it.

Idk how well it would work for you, but MyBackupPro is nice, for me at least. You can use it while not rooted, but some features are only available in root, like app market data. Its not free, but its pretty cheap, and you can refund it if you don't like it. Trying to help

you guys.... who cares if he is real or not..... If he is great...if not.... bad...yet maybe funny later joke. but don't be a prick to the guy....

so when can we expect this "beta"?

odin would be your best bet to dump full nand, if im not mistaken you should be able to use rendbend_ua and flash clockwork back on it tho...

I'm going to assume some Google employees already have Froyo if applications are already starting to support it. Though, I don't see why they would make notice to us that Froyo support has been added to applications if it isn't publicly available or coming soon. Unless.. it is coming soon :/

What the hell is FroYo. I have never heard of it
Oh, codename for the next Android version. Sheesh
From the sounds of it, Froyo will be coming out around June/May, if I were a betting man. time line wise, and what not, it makes the most sense. Plus, with Flash 10.1 supposed to launch by June, it makes sense for them to launch the two at the same time.
Especially since Froyo is supposed to be the start of certain core apps being "add on" packs essentially, so that they can keep the system image smaller (hopefully means G1 support?) then the user just adds on what they want, ie you would download the Flash 10.1 app from the market. So it will be closer to a PC in its structure. I also think it is a sign that Apps to SD is on its way with Froyo or Gingerbread!

Didn't see it posted here or on any of the major sites yet. 2.1 is up on springs site now.

Only links to the htc sync software. I'm thinking HTC is behind on the update.
I just @replied Sprint about it. Hopefully they say something back
Not like I actually need this, It is just interesting to see what came come of it. I am extremely happy with the 2 roms im running now. Just to figure out which I like more now. Fresh Toast 2.1 or ZenEXP0.9.6

What comes of it is... 2.1 roms with ZERO bugs. Not even the audio bug.
I wonder if this is identical to the recent leak. I'm kinda hoping that we get the friendstream app or the updated sense running in Zen's ROM. I doubt that will happen. But at least we can have a stable ROM where everything will work off the bat.
Looking at the software versiom number, it's the same as the recent leaked version.

Yeah my bad. I didn't go so far as to click on the link as I was browsing on my phone. Didn't realize download wasn't up yet. But instructions for doing the update are there. Must be soon now.

Who else is done flashing Roms/Kernels until Cyanogen comes to the vibrant?

I'm done flashing anything. I stopped on Axura and that's that. It's Cyanogenmod or bust.
I'm not even doing the beta crap either. I'm waiting for the first..maybe second, non beta official release.
anyone else?
Did you call the newspaper and let them know? This could land you on page 9 of the local nitwit section

I like Axura. Just flashed 2.2 today and everything is fine except i havent been able to send a MMS yet. Im sure ill get it fixed soon. 2.1 was running great for me. Guess is should of just kept that one.
I'll hold my breath for cyanogen the same I do for samsung. I've used cm on various devices, and while good, what exactly is it going to bring to the vibrant that team whiskey (or any other current dev besides axura) doesn't? They have bugs and issues, maybe not a ton, but they're there.
I'm happy with my tw vibrant.

Hey Vegas have you tried using handcent from the market for sending mms? It fixed my issues.

Guys, some pretty childish posts in here. It's a valid discussion for the general section. If it's not worth your time then just don't post in here.
Op,
I'm running r13 and don't think I going to flash anything else till a stable 2.3 rom or cm comes out.

I Agree!
Cleanup thread!
Deleted Off topic.
Please keep the topic of the thread!
I started with the G1 and have flashed too many ROM's to remember. I have found quite a few that I liked more than Cyanogen. Even though he has done a great job, just his name on a ROM doesn't make it the best there is.
not me!!, I'm going to keep flashing everytime there is a new rom I think is worth trying out, after all how will I know if I like something better if I don't try it?
What has the world come to? How can anyone call themselves loyal XDA followers and not be flashing a rom??? Its your duty.

So today, i decided to update my camera firmware. When i clicked update, it took me to samsung apps, which needed an update.

[RANDOM] Verizon logo found in stock 4.2.2 rom

Does anyone else notice that HTC might be moving to one rom for all the carriers? I found ATT, Tmobile, Verizon, and Sprint status bar logos in the stock 4.2.2 update. I think HTC is doing the right thing here. Put everything in one rom, then based on the CID, install certain things. I still think that att should leave the icons alone...but this is better than nothing.
I guess this also confirms the Verizon variant of the One. (I know verizon confirmed it this morning)
EDIT: BTWm this was from the stock 4.2.2 rom from Mike. Not the ARHD rom.

It is for the demoflo application. Those images are used for HTC One demo so it's not really a junk.
What I consider a junk ROM is nokia's symbian s60v3 ROMs. There are alot of junks in there like image of homer simpson, a corrupt image, bunch of hello world text files, an apple logo with a worm, quotations, a pdf for origami and other stuffs. This even got an article years ago in symbian-freak
