I just want to let you know that finally i got froyo 2.2 from samsung mini kies i did the upgrade and work perfect no problem, and i liked finally wifi call, voice command threw BT. so everybody who is in 2.1 go an make the upgrade.
thanks.
good for you ...however the update on kies is most likely not the final froyo release samsuing is going to make...i say this because we are still having leaks since the update was available...but either way, im happy with it as well . I also upgraded via kies and am running voodoo lagfix and everything is silky smooth

Hello All,
Hope we are all having a Merry Xmas so far, and no-one else is suffering with a broken boiler and water mains....at least we have our internet and streaks to keep us busy.
Well, here goes. I am a relatively new streak owner, and the streak is my first foray into the world of android. I wasnt very happy with my 1.6 legacy system and was overjoyed to see the official 2.2 update finally drop from o2 (that was a long time coming!!!). I am now getting more accustomed to android, and I see that if I want to stay up to date in this world I really should be using DJ Steves Streakdroid. What I cannot seem to find out from many places is why.
What does StreakDroid offer me that the official FroYo doesnt? Does anyone have screenshots to show me how it actually looks. I dont seem to think the official FroYo is that bad, although I have only been running it for about 4 days!

I would also like to know the answer to this question. My wife and i both have the streak. ( She had to have the white one) Right now we are both running 2.2 with no issues. I can we go to DJ_steve and not have any issues. When i was running the first release of DJ_steve the camera settings kept rotating and the same with watching youtube.
well the streaks my first android as well....
I have been jumping around and flashing roms left right n centre, had the unlocked official 2.2, then added performance fix to it, then went to steves, then went to official o2's 2.2 and then finally now am sticking to steves 1.5.1..
the major reason for choosing this has been because of the performance improvements....his build really doesnt have any lags, free from carrier junk and also contants improvements and development happening(which though can be a pain if u dont like jumping around roms and have to backup each time)...
my personal suggestion would be...if u the type of person who is satisfied with the performance of the official 2.2 and have no probs with it, and also dont like flashing roms then stick to the official build.
on the other hand if u like fast development speeds and pretty regular updates to ur existing roms, plus a faster rom, however with some issues (such as gps fixes and accelerometer being doggy at times for some people) then u shud shift to steve's...
another suggestion is...u cud probably install the official 318 or 315 builds and apply the performance fixes( basically flashes steve's kernal into ur official build), then u probably have the official 2.2 and also the performance fixes from steves rom...
either ways its more dependent on what u are satisfied with...u can always give steves rom a try, and if u dont like it then flash back the original...
sorry for grammar mistakes...wrote it in a hurry...

I love my Epic. Having tons of fun flashig different roms and whatnot. I am waiting for the "official" 2.2.1 rom from Sprint.
I have yet to find a 2.2 custom rom that supports voice dial over bluetooth. Any help in this area would be awesome.
Main reason I went with the Epic instead of the Evo. Should have been updated already.
I NEED voice dial over bluetooth.. Please HELP!
Thanks
The only thing you can do is wait for the official release of froyo which should be early 2012
Wow....it would reallly suck if they waited until 2012.....
Hello all, first post here, I found this forum just by chance while trying to find out if and when froyo was comming to my Legend.
I am in Australia, I only got my legend 3 weeks ago, it is a stock phone supplied from a 3 shop, when all this hype over the past 2 weeks regarding Froyo comming I wasn't really too fussed, I was inlove with my first smart phone (well inlove might be over doing it a bit) it had 2.1 update 1 Eclair HTC sense worked for me, after a bit of playing and getting used to a totaly new O/S, I had just upgraded from a SonyEricsson w595 (I think or W959????)....
Anyway my misses got a HTC desire with froyo 2.2 not long after me and OMG this thing is even better than my legend, the whole phone plus froyo, I know I have only been waiting a short time & I really feel so sorry for all those that been wating for god knows how long.....I WANT FROYO NNNNNNOOOOOWWWW!!!!!
Anyway enough of history, once froyo was released here in Australia, it was vodafone release, so I didn't want to jump in and upgrade incase it locked my phone to vodafone network, or bricking my phone, so I sent 2 seperate questions to HTC asking if it was ok to put the update on my phone, they both replied asking me for IMEI and S/N to confirm the source of my phone, I got 1 reply back saying according their records, the suppied IMEI and S/N was a customised for vodafone phone, I must say at this point I am using it on three network.
I know that there is a lot of people not so happy with HTC's support handling, but in my case, I can't fault the help center one bit, I asked the question, got the right answer and froyo is mine!!!! which is just bloo%y well, cause guess who would have been the worst company in the world if me phone got bricked LOL.
Now the good info:-
I now have Froyo on my phone
My situation
I origanly had the newest version of HTC sync which is from HTC version 3.0.5511 on my PC but my legend didn't like it very much wouldn't connect properly, wouldn't stay connected, so I uninstalled all the HTC software on PC (HTC sync and HTC drivers) installed the version that is on the SD card which is 2.0.25 after a few reboots, PC and phone would connect properly and stay connected...
ran the RUU downloaded from HTC/AU hey presto, installed, no issues, no problems, no dramas, only took about 6-7 mins to update....
Good luck to eveyone else with their update.

Anyone have any info on an update? Did some google searches but didn't find anything.
My IT dept says Verizon is going to start to push the next update, 3.0 in the next week. They say it fixes the calander sync issues and mail not syncing until you open the mail app.
I really hope this is true as the phone is unreliable right now.
Do you have any info if that update is connected to an update to Android 2.3... ? Things are looking like 2.3 is definitely coming for the Droid Pro but question just remains to when it will be out... I am hoping that this might be the moment!
I am 99.9% sure this is not an update to android, its just a motoblur update. So sorry, no gingerbread. I came from an HTC Aria on AT&T. I had Gingerbread on that. Its not really as awesome of an upgrade as Eclair to Froyo was. In fact other than the animation when you turned the phone off I really didn't notice any difference.
Yea I am not too bothered about the changes for the OS itself.. I just hope it includes a new Baseband version cuz in the moment, the 3G performance is nothing to write home about, as I am based in the UK... Other than that, when the Motorola PRO will finally hit our shores, there should hopefully be a Verizon-free ROM available somewhere with an EU baseband version.
I bought a used Galaxy i5800 from someone online last month, it was upgraded to a leaked 2.2 build and was fine.
But now it's started to play up and SMS come in hours late. I heard that the official 2.2 is out but I need to get to 2.1 first. But there are loads of 2.1 builds so not sure what one to use for my device and how to do it either :/
Would love some help.
It was bought at CPW, unlocked and it's the one with the physical buttons and not the touch-sensitive onse.
