The Epic community is awesome. - Epic 4G General

What negative rep about the Epic community? A few little bad trolls whining while waiting for their Froyo handouts, don't make the community. Of course there will always be lazy folk who can't read through clear guides, stickies or bother to read back 2 or 3 posts, but I've mostly seen a friendly if slightly strained group.
We've had one very early report of an OTA upgrade, and you can just feel everyones gears start rolling.
Devs stepped up and let us slackers have epically fast upgrade guides, DK28 update.zip through ODin, a prerooted Rom, DK28 and I count at least 3 modded Roms already! This is all in less than a day. I'm sure there is much more already coming. Once Samsung releases their code (hopefully won't take forever), the Epic community will be steamrolling. Until Gingerbread
Just wanted to again say thank you to all the hard working Devs out there and thank you also for making this community great.

Isn't DK28 an "official" release by Samsung? Did we not get a full update.zip from an OTA source? Maybe I'm just confused?

What I think shabby means is that, when we first had a leak for FroYo (DJ09 I think?) All hell broke lose. The Epic 4g community has its ups and downs.

we could have gotten full ota updates from before afaik there is nothing to suggest that this is official. the betas have been pushed out to a lot of users before...

froyo has a new kernel, and koush's recovery doesnt support kernels, so it will probably be an upddate zip similar to the manual update process from the d1

It is not the recovery that does not support kernel, but rather the bootloader wont boot an unapproved kernel. so if the 2.2 kernel is included and the bootloader verifies it then it will be fine.

Yeah that's what it seems like to me, too. Probably still a beta build and not the final, but whatever I'll take it.
I'm calling bull****. Just like the DInc rumor. I'll believe it when I hear an official communication or receive the OTA update request on my phone.
These "rumors" are starting to get old. Its just phone nerds trying to be relevant and important on the interwebs.
The thread clearly indicates that this is not the official OTA update. This is supposed to be a leaked release of the froyo update. But by all means, go ahead and wait for your official announcement.

The difference here is that the other rumor was started by a clueless Verizon rep who thought the Droid 2.2 update was for the Droid Incredible.
The dev phone has 2.2.1 on it. This is 2.2.6. This is a new build, straight from P3's source. This is gonna be good.

Just to comment on your question, the JI6 update could very well be needed for a clear and stable path to a froyo upgrade.

This is just another troll. The JI6 update will be rolled to everyone throughout October. There is no way Froyo is coming until everyone gets JI6, so at least not until November, chances are probably even later.
I second the ban. As people get banned for Froyo trolling, we will see less and less. (Hopefully.)
Thanks OP.

But he said don't take his word for it. I hope he is just being sarcastic, otherwise, it is pretty much just another trolling attempt.
Maybe its true maybe its not but the first guy on the forum that said he got an update got called a liar and all sorts of things until people noticed it was true I didn't see one apology to him either in my opinion I hope it is true and if it is thanks for the info and if its not maybe he just got bad info himself NO BIG DEAL!

Get real. I work for Samsung and we are rolling out Ginger in 4 days.

Froyo?? Not so fast!

GalaxySSupport twitter page said the following when I asked them for android 2.2 info for fascninate.
"The Fascinate will get 2.2 by the end of the year. We will keep you informed on Twitter as we get more details! ^Mary"[email protected]
If were gonna wait that long they might as well just bump us to ginger..
"End of the year" who in the hell would want to buy this device, for a x-mas present for instance , with the uncertainty? Not a reel smart marketing move on Samsung's part.

That's pretty frustrating. If not for the great progress the CM team has been making, I would be considering a different phone at the moment.
Maybe next year in 1st or 2nd quarter, if Sprint has nothing better to do. Do yourself a favor and get the DK28 leak.
its coming
I have confirmed with my sources, we were all part of an expirement by samsung and sprint to prove that they could put out a total **** product like the moment...... and then still promise the moon aka the epic 4g and we would all go and buy it and hope we wouldn't complain about not having froyo simply because we are not getting data lockups. So there you have it, 2.1 no data lockups if you want 2.2 buy there next phone it will come out stock with it but by then there will be android 3.2
Lol, sprint held off n releasing froyo because they saw then noobnl and the rest of cyanogen epic team is making progress. And they are testing it to steal some ideas and put a sprint branding on it. hahaha

Really? You think people have been patient? I've seen nothing but constant whining (in the dev forum, no less) since I first started lurking here back when the phone was first released.
It will be released when its released. This isn't a great place for complaints- nobody who cares or who could even enact a change will read it. This constant whining does nothing but drive people away who might be interested in developing or push down the posts of the fractional population that actually has something to contribute.

I agree that this is not a great place to complain about ROM versions, but for whatever reason the dev section is 90% ROM related (there should be a ROM subsection). But...this phone should have been released with froyo. I was running froyo on my Vogue/Sprint touch for months before I bought this phone. Hopefully Samsung will catch us up soon.

Who cares? You're not running the ****ty software like the EVO, and 2.3 isn't going to be any different (for the most part). If you want to complain, go to a sprint store near you and ***** to them. Nobody is going to want to develop anything if people don't stop complaining. All of the resources are in these forums to make your phone look just like "2.3".

The issue is, as I know it, is that the leak did not come with source, and most of the kernel tweaks cant be done w/o the kernel source
And the source is not released until the official build drops

Good point, though there are EE03 ROMs, and devs working on the build, but from what I can tell, DK28 was a solid leak, where EE03 seems to still have a lot of bugs, hence the reduced interest by the Devs
