Froyo released on Epic, Vibrant, can we use this?

Sorry, the title should say LEAKED rather than RELEASED (can a mod edit?). It isn't stable, but I thought perhaps the kernel was all we needed? Just saw it was released for those phones. I figured the Sprint one should be close?

Stop asking, this is prolly the 10th thread started asking about this. It wont be ported, at least not easily. The epic is not gonna work either. The only other sgs phone that might be able to port from would be the one on USCC, but they just got their phone released

No reason to be rude, this is not old news. This just happened in the last 24 hours. The forum didn't suggest any similar topics when I made it. Gah...people can be such douches in here sometimes.

It would be more useful if someone leaked a Verizon build of Froyo for the Fascinate

People get "butthurt", as you so eloquently put it, because there's at least one of these "Omg Froyo got released on another SGS phone" threads posted in development every day. It turns the development forum into a big mess of nonsense that people get tired of looking at.

From what I just looked through there hasn't been any threads about froyo on the epic. You may want to use search before you make posts that aren't accurate, just a thought.

I believe the search he was referring to wasn't that it was "epic specific" but just that there's a post about a froyo galaxy s release all the time and its been answered a hundred times before that no other will work for the fascinate.

I would've thought that more people had the Fascinate than the others just because it's Verizon and they're the biggest?

Meh... VZW is US (CDMA) only..and they didn't really advertise it.
They were busy pushing the DX and D2...
The other guys work overseas ... and apparently actually wanted to sell them.
(Though VZW did do a BOGO on the fascinates if you were lucky enough to catch it...)

There was a commercial on TV for the Fascinate from Verizon for a little while. But no, they don't really get attention without the Droid badge.
People, about building Froyo ROMs, there's more to it than just the kernel. Yes, given a kernel, something could be cooked up over time, but the only way to do it quickly is to work from the complete source of a fully functional Froyo ROM that's built specifically for the unique hardware in the Fascinate. Our Froyo will be out soon enough, so just be patient and wait please. If these others were just leaked, ours can't be far behind. ;-)

VZW chick was useless today. For grins I started grilling her on my promised 2.2 update "within a month" when I purchased the phone.
"Oh...it's coming, but we don't know how long it will be. Last time Samsung gave us an update we had to send it back to them because it required a complete system wipe...which just wasn't going to fly."
Actually, I was pretty impressed she knew who made the phone now that I think about it. Most VZW critters I've encountered didn't even have that going for them.

are there any mods in this forum? i mean really..someone needs to merge,delete,help, whatever...or how about a sticky with froyo in the title explaining that it doesnt really mater what sgs(usc?) gets it we wont until its either ota or leaked... can this happen? puhlease

Tologank, just a suggestion but I wouldn't be a **** to fallingup(angel12) BC he along with a very few other devs are the only people we have working on this phone right now. So go easy. You wouldn't talk to an angel that way would u?

No question threads should be started in development.
If any question is needed in development it should be related to a specific thread and posted within that thread.
To all that that think you are being insulted. Well I don't blame them one bit.
To keep the peeps happy at least follow the rules of the playground.

good day.

Rant "on behalf of" the Devs here...

Guys. Chill out with the pushing for AOSP, CM, and others to push out a GB ROM. It is completely inappropriate, and disrespectful to what everyone here has done for the community. I'm beyond sick of seeing frantic posts left and right about how "ZOMG I AM DYING FOR GB!!!!1111oneoneone" et al.
Enough is enough, please. and no, nobody asked me to post this... I'm simply fed up with that nonsense polluting threads left and right when the devs are people just like you and me. It's an insult to their talent, time, and efforts.

I agree with the OP to some degree. Also, for all those who use the ROMs, I think that donations should be a no-brainer. However, I don't think its wrong to ask for news, we are all excited about the ROMS and are constantly checking the forums for them. I just don't see the harm in asking (demanding is one thing).

There's no harm, but it's relatively pointless to ask, since rarely are there ETAs for them. Plus, it makes reading through threads to be a bit of a chore when it gets constantly bumped with people asking "When is this coming out?!?!" (also it must be really annoying for the devs).

Forum mod has asked people specifically to stop posting these threads. When there is any real indication of Froyo coming, it will be posted.

I've read many blogs, twitter feeds, and comments about this. All I've heard is that even though it's still not ready, it's still being tested. It seems as though they're trying to iron out all of the kinks so that every phone gets the update smoothly and that EVERYTHING works. That goes for all Galaxy S phones, and not just the Epic 4G.
However, in my opinion, it seems as though they're taking their damn sweet time. Can't figure out if Samsung has incompetent programmers, management, or both. However, on the bright side, atleast Samsung is letting us know what's up and not COMPLETELY leaving us in the dark. Although, they're not setting a deadline other than "when it's done" nonsense.
In terms of whether or not it's the carrier's problem really isn't correct. I would assume the carriers don't care as long as the phone can comply with certain guidelines (AKA no hot spotting unless you pay for it), then it's good to go.
Remember, even though most of us are salivating for a new upgrade, I'd say most people have no idea that a new one is in the making. If you say all of your friends know about the upcoming upgrade, you have some mighty geeky friends!
My guess is that it should roll out in the next couple of weeks. Hell, they've had since August to work on the damn upgrade. My guess is that Samsung has a crappy programming staff, ****ty management, and limited budget for upgrading phones.
That's my take on the big mess. Here's hoping it comes soon and works as they promised.

Wow, another one of these posts. Reported.

Again I will say it. Why isnt there a dedicated sticky that deals with ALL froyo speculation? All of these threads could be merged with it and all speculation could happen inside of it. Where are the mods and what are they doing? I know its not an easy job to do, but it seems like no one is in charge of this forum at all. No sticky linking to the wiki or a basic guide so that noobs can set up their phone easier. No sticky dealing with froyo speculation. Why not just add another moderator if you need the help?

. . . . . LOL

I am thinking you cannot make people stop commenting about something if that is what they want to talk about. Perhaps a sticky at the top of this section of the forum with the official status of froyo 2.2 has or has not been released yet so PLEASE don't ask anymore. We will change the topic of this post the first thing when it is released to let you know it is available.
I am not telling anyone what to do, I am simply trying to offer ideas towards a solution to this problem.

Exactly. Have a sticky where people CAN discuss Froyo speculation, and then any threads that are STILL posted to general can just get merged with that sticky thread or deleted.

Instead of childish responses, why arent these threads just closed. Is there no type of moderation here?

EA04 would mean it was completed 2 days ago. So 3-6 more months of testing and 30-40 more versions and we should have a final release.

There should be another mod in ADDITION to him. I think that is the point.

Sprint will only release Froyo when there are no new xda "when is froyo coming out?" posts for an entire day. Unfortunately, at this rate it may never be released.

I think somebody should post all the roms and new updates on one thread that way it would make it easier for noobs to get the things they need and that would prevent all these how to root topics

While I agree that if such a form existed... at the end of the day it most really be useless.
People will still have the same questions about this and that rom, and term, and version of phone.. etc... and if you combine ALL those answers into one form, well I would maybe make it too the third or fourth page before I give up and move on. Like a lot of forums now, some are a thousand pages.
I'm sure many people will agree the next scenario, which I find myself in a fair bit. You just soft soft bricked your phone, or something new is released... 20 min later you're sitting down with 5 or 6 browser windows open, each one has 20 tabs, and you have 30 new bookmarks made just case there something you might need later from one those pages.
lol... i tell you guys, its awful messy sometimes.. Especially when a friend gives me a phone he bricked and I've never used the phone before.

He has been bumping dead threads for the past couple days and judging by his name "1997" that is prob the year he was born.....need i say more.

Wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to unlock OEM for the Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G model G988U1 (z3q) and flash a custom ROM to it. I'm aware that certain models don't allow this and I'm hesitant to test it out from the posts that I've seen describing how to do it. I saw the same thing for my model of the Note 9 and soon after found out that it's not possible for my model of it. If anyone can confirm whether or not I can and provide a link to a thread that includes the sources to what I need or links directly to the things I need it'd be much appreciated.

One Thing I Find Aggravating

A Dev releases a ROM and post in the Dev Section.
Cool!!
Months later, that Dev has upgraded his ROM 2 3, hell 5 times or lkek now, a new GB OTA is out and another new upgrade.
Is it so hard to just start a new thread??
I HATE that the first post is updated, sometimes barely updated, and then the next 90 pages are about the original release from months ago.....
Half the time, the update log is barely legible (ie. Fixed Cam - well, WHEN!!!?? On WHICH release?? Can you provide a god damn date or something??)\, there's now 27 files to d/l, mods, etc.
XDA has the most brilliant DEVs in the world, and the least organized......
No wonder so many noobs are constantly asking what's the best ROM, etc...
The Dev section is a friggin' nightmare.....

I can't disagree with what you're saying.
Contact "svetius" he is the "user experience admin"

HipKat, I typically agree with you but in this case I have to wonder if you didn't od on your "ungrateful pills" this morning.
My unsolicited advice is: Start developing roms, then make a new thread every time you update the roms you develop.

just a suggestion...maybe when a thread is started and commented on the more recent posts would come to the front. in other words opposite of how it is now. oldest on last page and most recent on first page. the original post would stay on the front page though....

I have Dev'd before, on the Moment:
http://forum.sdx-developers.com/index.php?topic=9644.0
Perfect example though, is the awesome work xHausx has done, but looking at his OP now, it's like wtf is what?? And I'm not being ungrateful, not at all. I'm VERY grateful and appreciative of the work done here, but is that a pass for making it harder to follow?? Magnus starts new threads for all his releases, and that makes it easier for the mentally challenged people, like me... King, too, makes the OP solely about the new release and pushes the older releases down in the thread...
Grrr.. it's just been a bad week....
It doesn't even call for a new thread, just clean up the OP a little.

Sorry about the bad week. You will come around.

I am so tired of the "well, why do You start Dev'ing ROMs, then you can ***** all you want" malarkey. and the "if you have a negative criticism about anything at all, you are an ungrateful bastard".
while I don't necessarily agree with the vehemence of the OP, I can relate.
I wish sometimes there was at least a consistent Thread Title format with date updated info at least. (Examples being Myns, aamikams and virus.)

Just look at date the op was last updated then skip to that date in the thread and start reading. That's what I always do, who am I to complain about what someone is doing for free when they could be doing so many other things.

I do that, but many times, the OP doesn't state what exactly was updated....

I think the point is this forum is for all and any improvements to the ease of use, especially for newer folks, is always welcome.
That's why I suggested contacting the user experience admin.
The idea that someone doesn't dev so they should have no input is silly.

That's why I wait a while and let a few people test it and talk about what's new and then try it out myself.

I see your point, but I think it should be a decision made by each Dev. Some prefer to keep all release related posts in one thread. This seems more like a thread format issue. Maybe its the ocd part of me, but I read every post before flashing.

I'm so tired of people quoting others.
His criticism should be in pm's.

The one problem I have is everyone getting flamed for not reading all 4000000 posts before asking questions. Just answer the question and move on. The search feature, which doesn't work in the xda app, is horrible and almost never turns up good results unless you search through a few hundred posts. Just my .02.

in most things (past posts), nova, i usually agree with you, and about the PM, I do.
my post was in no way directed to you, nova.

The search function would be great if the results showed up in reverse chronological order

I actually don't see the issue. In fact, its a lot easier to see the new Rom he's updated on page 1 versus page 54685254. But then again you must be a noob and not understand.
