Noobnl's got froyo for our Epic?

*Edit*
I didnt see the original thread regarding the leak that was closed. I seen the tweet from noob the other night. The leak according to noob is very unstable and only given to a select few. Im glad it went to his hands first, to protect the source and in hope of putting out something stable. If not at least the source is protected and we me get a RC out of him later. Noobnl is great asset for the epic community and I think the bashing should stop and let them see what they can do. Hopefully they can put out a good base for other devs to work off of.
To noobnl
After reading through the op that's was closed you didn't really say much. Can you enlighten us as to this leak can be used for a rom soon or is it too unstable and ur waiting on another build?

lol the pic really doesnt prove anything.. these devs have skills and they can easily just put froyo in there..

he has a beta

ya dude.. he's the coolest kid in cool town right now.

noob is working on CM6 wich is a asop built from source based on froyo. that image is real as he got cm6 to boot but it is not close to being stable. last i herd the ffc didnt work, no data or wifi. give it some time and the guys over at cynogan will have froyo for us

I know hes working on cm...but thats a samsung build.

Yeah, it's a Sprint beta. It was leaked to him a couple days ago under the condition he wouldn't make it publicly available(to protect the source of the leak).

It was leaked to somebody else who gave it to him so he could do something about it.

The only reason he isnt leaking it to us is because every file in it is tagged with the name of the employee who gave it to him. so if he then leaks it, he is jeopardizing the job of that employee

Thread exists. Stop making new ones.

Wait, so just out of curiosity, was it the employee who leaked it to him? or did sprint authorize it? Because, if they were smart, they would have authorized it but made it seem like it was a rogue employee/mischievous early adopter.

I believe a friend of the employee leaked it.

perhaps if you looked in the original thread you would see...

Yes, because its in Sprints best interest to leak a buggy beta version of a rom out to the general public and then have to deal with the inevitable "I dont know what happened, my phone wont turn on. Can you replace it?" people.

I'm a bit of a conspiricy theorst, so ill enter tain every one with a tale.
I think this may be an intentional leak on behalf of sprint. Maybe they were having some problems and needed a little help from the community. HTC has been doing it for years.Does anyone else think a total newbie starts an account here and within 4 posts is showing pics of his epic with froyo claiming to have gotten it from a sprint employee is or isn't really weird? Our own inside sprint guy whosdaman had never even seen this.
When said lurker is asked he says he ismore than willing to share, jut needs help to give it to us because to update killed his root and cwm. Underrstandable.
Also a perfect ruse....
Here is what sprint didn't know, nay, couldn't know.
I think 1 of 2 things could have happened here.
A. They didn't count on noobnl being a jerk who just wants profit from donations(or maybe not profit at all. Just for ego) via his rom which would be the first 2.2 or to incorperate elements of this. Now don't get me wrong. Noobnl is the man fo epic, but really, aren't we all a little bit selfish? I would totally love to be the guy the leak trusted. This could be true because the op in the first leak thread never ever mentioned any radio crashing issues or anything else. He iks using it as a daily with little or no problems.
Also he was tottally willing to just give it up because whosdaman promised no personal info would be in a dump. Even if there was, it could be removed be
the first source (moob and who's). There is no way to tie 1 employees name or id number t every single line of code is there? I don't know. I don't claim to be an expert. As a matter of fact, I'm pretty ignorant.
Noobnl culd have gotten it and said anything he wants. Personally, I don't think I've even seen noobnl say anything about privacy, just that its crappy. Just minions and whatnot have been putting that out there.
Or B. It was a crappy dump (double entendre) and rfeally is buggy and stupid because there was an error or something or who knows and really it is stable, because it really bugs me that the original leaker is talking about NO radio crashing or buggieness.
Or I'm crazy and short on sleep on this daylight savings clock set back one hour night. That's proly it.
I hope you were entertained.
ONCE AGAIN: NO DISRESPECT TO NOOBNL! HE IS THE MAN WITHOUT A DOUBT. JUST YOU NEVER KNOW, YOU KNOW?

Sprint and samsung know what we know. O. D. I. N.
Any one of us can use the same tool that they used to get this off the phone will put. Our phone rigth back to stock.
Saying its too buggy or will fry our phone is apoor excuse to me.

no its not, then we would have hundreds of threads in teh dev forum asking how to use odin and why things arent working etc etc. how the leak got out is much more important then everyone have a crappy version of it 2 weeks in advance.

Well, that little bit of action would at least be more exiting that this board hs been lately. A lot of evo owners coming over to brag how much development they have bec,ause open source means opensource over there and a dev would never hold out a leak from the community. Idk I'm just talking you know. I guess starting a little convo.
A lot of people are acting like noobnl is protecting some super secret inside source.
The kid came on at 5 in the morning and said first person to help me dump this gets it. It was just who was in irc at the moment.

CM 6.1 Progress Will Be Quicker Now Too!

According to a head moderator at the CM forums (Source: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/8302-the-state-of-the-galaxy/page__view__findpost__p__85578, Team Douche has the same leak that Whiskey received. That means, CyanogenMod 6.1 progress will be accelerated and maybe we will get some Cyanfryoyo soon
TL;DR Version:
"As of last night teamwhiskey and teamdouche both got access to a 100% working tmo vibrant froyo leak. Expect much quicker progress now."

Yeah dont forget about Eugene373 also got it too. Im pretty sure it was Sombionix and Eugene373 who were the first ones to receive it. Just thought i include Eugene373 into your list because it seems like you forgot him.

I hope the stock rom is available soon. It certainly gives a little credence to the November 11th rumor if a official T-Mobile version leaked out.

At this point who cares about cm6? We got froyo thanks to eugene and sombionix. The way I see it the only reason were getting cm is because of them.

I didn't forget Eugene. I was just quoting what the CM forum moderator said. I wasn't sure if Eugene had that same leak or if he used some magic to get his GPS working. But, for the sake of giving Eugene some well deserved love:
CM has the same leak that Bionix and Eugene have

Who cares about eugene? Who cares about Bionix? It's all down to personal preference. I may prefer Bionix, but some people are coming from other phones where they used CM and that's all they want. To each their own.

Personal preference.

so ebaitr8 ended up being a fake hoax. so how did the people at cyanogenmod, sombionix and eugene get a real froyo leak? from who?

Won't tell us.
"Leaker-Modder Confidentiality"

So can they release the stock vibrant froyo 2.2, for those of us who want to run stock froyo and not any of the developer roms?
is the stock vibrant froyo 2.2 out there somewhere?

Not yet, Eugene (or Bionix?) said they would be able to soon but not right away. Apparently, one of the previsions of the leak was that they can only take what was broken on their own roms (GPS).

I think you missed the sarcasm. He's saying you could easily say "Who cares about ______" and apply it to any developer. Some people care about Cyanogen's progress. If you don't, that's fine, but no reason to question someone else's preference.

lol sorry I think that is so lame. leaks have provisions? Every high end android phone has 2.2, but galaxy S owners in the US don't, yet. I mean this isn't the secret code to WMD's....its Froyo, what kind of person puts provisions on the leak they provide?
I just find it odd, if the devs new they were getting Froyo last night, why even care or entertain ebaitr8? Unless ebaitr8 really did provide the system dumb.
anyways the whole situation is odd.

According to a post from Som (I believe, may have been Viral) on the TW forums, the agreement from their source was that his name stay out of it. I believe it's likely due to him being worried about his job, as he's probably a T-Mo employee. If that's the case then I can understand him wanting it to stay anonymous.

Nobody wants the name of the person who leaked it, but why hold back stock froyo 2.2? unless this is just a way to for the devs to force people to run their roms, by holding back stock froyo from us.
Just a thought, thats all.

So what comes next?

It seems like we're at a cross-road with our devices. Recent issues clearly have lead to unexpected circumstances, yet we're on the horizon of Gingerbread. Though ACS was huge and there were lots of expectations for ING, clearly a different direction is at hand if you jumped on that train. (Please correct me if I'm wrong to members of both organizations, I think many would welcome continuity, if possible.) Many, like myself, don't have an upgrade at hand or a couple hundred to shell out for a new phone and thus still depend on the community. What are some of the plans that people have for the future, devs and users alike? Having recently rooted and flashed SRF, I am not as aware of functionality of all availible platforms and figure I'm not alone.
I wouldn't mind if this becomes a consolidation thread for multiple threads of the same concept.

I figure its not a big deal. Remember, tomorrow is the beginning of the rapture, so no matter what we all only have until October 21 to live. I figure the Epic4g can last me until then fairly well, even if I have to stick with SRF 1.1.

rob and his midnight romness already has a rom for ee03 and it rocks... running it right now.

Back before the Bonsai team left XDA to make their own site, they made one of the best ROMs. I remember I was torn between Bonsai and Quantum ROMs. Then Bonsai did their thing and Dameon started with CM7.

I believe it would need the full blessing of the CM Team and get official support. But seeing that some of the other Galaxy S variants have received official support, we're not much farther behind.

That has never stopped a piece of electronics from coming to age late. I wonder if this whole race to GB is their way of realizing the hardware capabilities of Samsung versus the number of eligible customers that will convert to a superior device. Remember, this forum is for those on the cutting edge of the device. Some will continue to buy this device based on the fact that they won't have to live through initial release bugs and then join us. Lots of the gruntwork was thankfully done by k0nane before his departure (thanks k0nane!) but it doesn't mean that we have seen our best Moments, to those making that reference.

They must be getting close. Also samfirmware indicated there would be multiple leaks before the end of the month. There is still a chance that final will be done by the predicted date even though prior history doesn't point to the likelihood of that.

I went from "GB? Who cares?" to "GB! Awesome!" almost to "Whatever." Hope reviews are great and prerooted flash packages are in supply. The pre-Froyo urgency just isn't there but at least they're working on it. And maybe it really does squeeze much more performance out of it.

They don't need to be releasing any final version until they finally get the GPS crash/force close bug fixed, that'll be a deal breaker for thousands of people if they release anything official with that issue still in play.

Exactly my thinking. All these people annoyed at another new build, meanwhile the one we have still doesn't work. Are they expecting Samsung to release it full of holes? With the current version rebooting and having no function GPS, I'm happy to see new versions hitting. Means hopefully they're actually working on the problem.

I still can't understand how what is now a legacy device can possibly give their engineers such problems with the modem and other comm chipsets. It looked to be all solidified in Froyo and now for GB it's the biggest boogeyman?! What are they trying to do...?

The problem isn't how many builds they're making, it's how long will it take them to get it right this time. No one wants the froyo situation to repeat itself with gingerbread.

LOL, we aren't even supposed to have froyo. Gingerbread (unless IMNUTS pulls another rabbit out of his hat) won't happen, that I can see. According to another post, they are working on a symbian rom... that should be interesting.

If we all took up a colkection and paid a dev (or sammy employee for sum source haha) then we might get sump cool... but even then probably not GB....not till they release it for fascinate....but then again I dont know this jus my humble opinion....but im serious about donating for dev help!

I'm a developer (not for android though) and I can tell you it would be one hell of an undertaking. Best case is to wait, Samsung did announce GB for Galaxy S devices, however none of the US devices have gotten it yet.
And fascinate ROMs don't work all that well for us unfortunately
