Froyo ETA prediction? How stable do you think it will be ?
i say 3-4 months until HTC and Sprint release the update.
just my personal assumption.

That long for the official, what about the unofficial & its stability?
It is supposed to be July...
Unfortunately, I haven't posted enough to post outside links. If you Google android 2.2 evo July; you should find all the articles.
For an unstable FroYo, we already have it. Maejrep is running it on his Evo now but until him and Toast release their root method we won't have it. But it's unstable and things don't fully work yet such as the camera. Now this is just an N1 port. That said, in June later in the month, the full FroYo source will be released. This will allow for us to compile our own AOSP build. There may be issues like we had with the Hero but we should be able to get most of it if not all of it working. So for a fully working AOSP FroYo we should be able to get it by mid to late June.
June 4th, thanks to some awesome devs in the community. my best guess/hope.

International version only.
There is a user whom everyone respects in that thread, who almost certainly has an inside scoop into Samsung's affairs. He claims this is the one.
Not final and not froyo
I guess time will tell, but many are convinced at #project-voodoo.

Pretty sure this is froyo. rhcp posted on his Twitter about this last night.
The T-Mobile leaked ROM we got recently is not Froyo, but according to the many posts this is Froyo for the International version. I'd imagine the US version is not far behind.
Samsung previously announced Sept 23 as the date that Galaxy S Froyo would be released to the carriers. This doesn't mean that we'll get OTA immediately after. TMO needs to brand/bloat it before enabling OTA. Even though Sept has been quoted repeatedly, I don't believe it's accurate for when we the end user will receive it. Considering the uproar around the GPS issue, I can see why they didn't wait for 2.2 to push out a fix before then.
We don't really need an ota version. As long as I can flash it with minimal glitchyness, I'm happy.

Samsung has said nothing about Froyo release for any of the US versions of the Galaxy S. The only thing that was said by Samsung UK was Froyo to be released in September and a rumor from a non-confirmed source about the 23rd. I have no doubt that the "official" update for the international version will be in soon, but i kind of doubt that the one leaked today was the official version, from what i've heard theres still a few bugs.
Bad news for Indian SGS owners its confirmed that froyo in India will also be released late in October
here the confirming tweet from samsung.
When i asked this to them a few weeks back they told it was confirmed for end of Sept. Now they deleted that tweet
Or...not bad news if when it IS released it addresses and corrects the problems that are so frequently discussed around here and works like it can and should?
if its coming late then curse u man
At this point, I have become rather well acquainted with waiting and waiting... And waiting! I really don't care when they come out with it anymore... I just want the update delivered OTA whenever it does arrive...

I really hope that's true! The point is, they did confirm it to be released in Sept for India. If they release froyo in UK in Sept. then it is understood that the improvements are done or none at all!
It will not be the case that Indian or Spanish froyo will have the said improvement alone just because they were released late.
I read somewhere that Gingerbread was confirmed for the Galaxy Tab before christmas, but I cant find any official statement.
Does anyone have any info about this?
none as i browse.... but i am sure samsung will....
That's funny.
Do we now basic highlights of Gingerbread?
Why people are so eager to get something they don't know what it's for and whether it is good for them?
I have read that Gingerbread actually will be and update of Android 2.x while Honeycomb would be Android 3.0 or even Ice Cream.
Considering Gingerbread is supposed to be seeded to developers by December, the likelihood of Tab version by Christmas is very slim, I am betting on feb or march...

Yeah that sounds about right to me.
Can I just point out that Froyo has only just officially made it onto a lot of platforms, and indeed hasn't yet reached some others. No way in hell will gingerbread make it to the Galaxy line without a few months of development. And since its not available to the devs yet...
Hey all. I am curious, are you guys all getting Froyo by doing a manual update??? I am trying the UPDATE FIRMWARE option (currently on DI18) and getting a message that I am on the latest version.
If you search the forums a bit you will find your answer.

Milkman, I'm in the same boat - been searching forums, seems like folks who want OTA will have to wait.

dude above is hinting for the manual update of the OTA released update. I am on 18 also waiting for OTA. If I didn't have hw id go for it. I just dont have time if i brick my phone in the process.
Thanks Big. I wish the other reply was more helpful, like maybe a link or something. I love how people tell you to search when you already did...
I may just do the update using clockwork, but was hoping to do OTA.
I will holdout a little longer to see if it magically appears on OTA.
The comment was referring to the fact that this has been extensively covered already in the forum. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861213 has the instructions on how to apply the OTA update to a stock Epic.
The official OTA hasn't been released by Sprint/Samsung yet, DK28 is just the most likely final release.
The instructions above will show you how to update, I updated my wife's stock Epic last night with no issues.
thank you elite, as a new android user this isn't really apparent, even from the bulk of that thread - that this isn't an official OTA sprint release.
There are folks that are reporting they got froyo from an OTA update, which counters your information. I wonder how true or untrue that is.
If sprint hasnt released the official froyo then why are users getting it OTA. I call bs on your statement.
yep, I second that call mbkowns.
The OTA was being pushed to specific test phones, with the Hardware version D700.0.4
No one has determined how those got in the wild, almost everyone has version .5
The update was only pushed to the .4 phones, again this is all in the dev section.
if that is the case, then how do folks know that its the 'official' froyo release? I can see that the dl link is from an authoritative source, but its not telling.
i.e. if its not available to all subscribers then its not a release, right?
It is not the official release, just a possible release candidate that was sent to the .4 phones only.
Basically, a guy last night noticed that Di18 updated to DK28 and posted it here. after several hundred posts, we all realized that it was only for .4 phones. Those are supposedly developmental phones that got released with the mainstream .5 phones. How? We do not know.
But since it was an OTA for those phones, a ton of folks have assumed that it was the final official release.
Either way, I ODINed my old DG27, got gps fix in Maps, then ODINed the latest. It's not a bad process, just touchy, and since then I've enjoyed the best Froyo ROM yet.
I hope this helps.

It is not the official release from sprint to the general public, it is a release candidate that they will let devs test for a few days. If devs report no issues they will start the official OTA release.
Sent from my Epic using XDA App.
thats great info, I fear however that due to the reportings of xda and engadget, etc.. that most folks will or have interpreted this event as an official sprint release of froyo. I am in no particular hurry for froyo on my epic but as this news has panned out it has caught my and others attention in an apparent dubious way - surely due the reportings and not in any way of the xda members.
if this is true, this is an important point that folks should be aware of *before* doing their own joyous upgrade - meaning that if sprint didn't bless this code they shouldn't expect it to be the final real thing.
