Easy to install 2.2 rom?

Hey guys-
I was wondering if anybody would be willing to create an easy to install froyo rom for the vibrant that could be installed through rom manager? If it's possible and someone would be willing to take on the challenge I and many other noobs out there would be much ablidged. Thanks in advance.

CM 6 is coming. For now enjoy the great job done so far

if you take a look at other threads under this forum, there has been work at porting 2.2 to this phone. Some difficulties in getting a fully functional build. I would recommend using the search function before starting a new thread, especially when posting under development, as you'll prolly get flamed pretty heavily.

I'm totally aware there's a 2.2 rom out for the vibrant already but what I'm asking for is a much easier to install version of froyo.

Doesn't exist. Reading comprehension - try it.

It does exist. It was the international Froyo leak but it is not a complete Froyo since it is missing JIT as well as other things. That leaked ROM is incomplete and is not stable for everyday use. Especially on a Vibrant, there are a lot of bugs with it and it is not recommended to be using it as the daily ROM.
It's better off waiting for 2.2 to release by Samsung or the CM team. It's just around the corner. Be patient.

They're working on it, once Eugene has it fixed, he's going to make a flashable .zip file for easy installing. He posted this in his 2.2 thread.

Exactly - there is no Froyo rom that is much easier to install than the leaked int'l one, let alone a stable one. What he's asking for doesn't exist. There's no secret, stable, froyo.zip floating around that people just aren't talking about.

I havnt seen a single rom on here that ISNT easy to install....
just waiting to see flame city for this one, similar questions have been asked time and time again... plus this isnt Q&A forum.....

Well for anyone that didn't use ODIN as there method of rooting and who doesn't want to spend more time then having to flash a basic .zip file, than there are some harder to install roms.

I'm aware nothing like that exists yet, that's why in the original post I requested someone create one, not if there is one already.

This forum has become like a kindle box just one spark turns us all in to flames. Calm down guys and remember you have something other than your E(letronic)ego to work about. Im sure you have cut infront of a car before not trying to be rude just let this pass and answer the damn question.
So far theres not an easy way to get a fully functional 2.2 however as with anything give it time and we will see it some time.

i do believe that everyone on here wants that including all the developers working on it. if we were happy with 2.1 then we would have stuck with the original os that samsung put out for the vibrant. really did you have to ask this here? or at all? its technology its always growing. give it time!

Fair enough - my bad, OP. If it was easily doable though, you can believe it would be done. I can't dev, so I wait and watch, because the guys (and gals) that can are doing whatever they can.

I was wondering if anyone would be able to create an easy to flash Gingerbread ROM for me. I thought that I could sit home on my ass while Smeone else does the work and afterwards complain about how slow the development is on Android 3.1 Horseradish......and do it all for free.

SGS doesnt have a stable cyanogent yet...haha

So I recently went on the cyanogen website to see their news "CyanogenMod-6.1 Stable Has Landed!" I know that the SGS is different from other android phones so I laughed. Of course I had to look at the stable downloads, all of the phones had stable downloads except for our SGS.
Am I angry, nope...just found it funny. Damn you samsung :]
Oh wait HTC Desire HD doesn't have one

Well with only one person who knows about coding working on the epic port of cm6 its not gonna happen anytime soon unless some people are willing to step up and help out.

yeah I agree, I'm trying to learn some coding and developing, but I am no where near the skill level that would be needed. So for right now I'm just gonna try to make some simple apps to start out.

Also fyi there I am not poking fun at the sgs phones. The reason of why there is no stable mod out is because sprint chose to create the platform differantly. that causes our single dev, not noobnl to try to code and work it out by himself. Like I said if I knew the coding I would help the only dev working on the mod.

[Req] More Info regarding Community ROM

I keep hearing about this legendary new community rom that is supposed to replace SC 2.9.2. I haven't found much on the forums. Just nitsuj and adrynalyne taking about this.
Any word in when it is going to be released and what is the base for the rom?

Like anything involving more than one person colloborating on something it takes time
Ed01 source and then the ota also forces people smarter than me to diff/compare what's new and see if its worth redoing or changing already completed work
I have no eta for when stuff will go out...but its better to have things tested and working than..not
But id hope its out sooner than later

Hope they use as much of ED01 as possible. My phone lasted all day yesterday, first time since I was stock

Sweet. As long as I know something is in the works I can wait.

Where can I find updates? The cm7 thread was locked, and the closest I could find was a how-to for building it from souce. But it says that compiling now will brick the phone.

There aren't any updates. When there are there will be a new thread.

You probably won't see anything major until official Gingerbread drops sometime this or next month.
Having like-source makes the whole porting process easier.

Ya, that's what they said about Froyo and CM6. Fact is, is that we aren't gonna see CM7 most likely. We have good dev's, but I think they have moved to another phone.

Okay, if you say so. Not like I don't want CM7 also, but the thread got locked, there aren't any updates anymore made public and you are pipe dreaming if you think the source code is going to be that big miracle to push CM7 to our phones. It will come eventually, but I wouldn't bet on it anytime soon. Most of us will have moved on by the time it releases and makes this phone what it should have been since last year.

I disagree. Maybe you and others will move on, but there will be new users and devs after you're gone. There are still active devs for the Moment. I don't see this phone dying any time soon.

That made me smile, Dec.
And yes -- I think the Epic has a long life ahead of it. It's a great device and one of the last phones to really have everything and be free of a bootloader (aside from HTC's stuff). The dev's are doing a great job rebuilding an entire layer of software to get this phone supported -- basically like being a very clever caveman trying to build a car. Totally can't wait until we get a release! Thanks for all your hard work, devs!

As soon as work settles down (soon), I'll hop on the dev bandwagon.
No matter what, CM7 will be out.
I plan on having this phone for 2 years. No way I'm spending $400 on a new phone.

If you read any of the posts in the thread you'd realize that about 90% of them were useless 'spam' that didn't need to be there. Hence, why it was closed.
Trying to find the wrong line of code that's messing it all up like like finding a needle in a hay stack that's a mile across...especially without the source code to compare it to.

Fo sho. I haven't ben on the touch pro 2 for 9 months, and when I strolll by their forum, I don't even recognize the names of new roms and the devs and posters. This phone may have two or three waves of owners. The early adopters, then the late adopters, then the second hand era in another year or so on ours.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

That's great news decadence thank you. Also this phone is awesome especially with a fully functional cm7. I still haven't really seen a phone that compares with this epic yet. I might even have this for 2 years from now. Dual cores will prolly be more buggy at first and they won't really be optimized for android or apps for atleast another year or so. So I'm good with this phone.

My impression from skimming that ongoing discussion was- the final consensus was that our phones don't have the hardware to support it. Despite probably some misleading tidbit of information a long time ago.

I could live without e911 the same way I did with cm7 awhile back. I want this so bad!!!!!!

Ability to live without it or not, they won't release it. Its somewhere in the spectrum of "unwritten rule of XDA" to potentially a law, I'm not sure. Regardless its a good idea. Don't want a buggy ROM to lead to someone dying!
