Haha. Who knows.

So how will this be any better than the EC01 ROMs we have available?
Either way pretty exciting I guess

Well its about time. But seriously, almost the entire Fascinate population who really wanted Froyo has pretty much put DL30, EB01, or EC01 on their phones already. Happy birthday to the unrooted crowd.

Gingerbread please.
Sorry. I had to.

According to Android Central it will be a manual update, nothing about OTA and that it will be ED01 which is the same as the leaked EC01

Yeah but BGR and some others are saying OTA.... I guess we'll just see.

It looks like it might be starting to trickle out now, with the bulk of it hitting tomorrow.

NO THANKS. They're actually BRAGGING about the bloat included in this update. Let us take tomorrow to thank/donate to the magnificent devs who have provided us with cleaner, quicker, flashier roms for our Fascinates. I for one, am so glad I didn't wait for this. Verizon's brand of ED01 = FU69

Yes, I hope this will allow Cyanogen or another mod to build out unbloated ROMs for us finally.

my wifes fas. is rooted just for wifi and backups. if she updates to froyo tomorrow, do you think it will have to be rooted again?

I would have gone that route a while ago myself, but it seems that every one of the Froyo Roms that the talented developers have put together has a list of things that don't work. I love the idea of dev sourced roms, and back in the old winmo days, I rarely ran a stick ROM. I'm not thrilled about getting a bloated ROM, but I don't need to explain to my friends and such that I can't receive MMS because I put some non factory ROM on or something else doesn't work correctly.
If there's a Froyo ROM (besides the V's tomorrow) that has %100 feature functionality, point it out man, maybe I'm missing something.

I'm going to assume some Google employees already have Froyo if applications are already starting to support it. Though, I don't see why they would make notice to us that Froyo support has been added to applications if it isn't publicly available or coming soon. Unless.. it is coming soon :/

What the hell is FroYo. I have never heard of it
Oh, codename for the next Android version. Sheesh
From the sounds of it, Froyo will be coming out around June/May, if I were a betting man. time line wise, and what not, it makes the most sense. Plus, with Flash 10.1 supposed to launch by June, it makes sense for them to launch the two at the same time.
Especially since Froyo is supposed to be the start of certain core apps being "add on" packs essentially, so that they can keep the system image smaller (hopefully means G1 support?) then the user just adds on what they want, ie you would download the Flash 10.1 app from the market. So it will be closer to a PC in its structure. I also think it is a sign that Apps to SD is on its way with Froyo or Gingerbread!

Honeycomb!!

Wow i must say google is amazing, havent even released ginger bread and already thru the grapevine they are talking about android honeycomb!

i really think google needs to work on perfecting froyo before they even think about rolling out GB, so far i don't think many people are really liking froyo to much, just doesn't seemed all it was hyped up to be to many.

NO WAI did you see the flash light?
I think they should let FroYo die and focus on making GB a better release, especially if they're numbering it as a major version. Honeycomb is nothing more than a name at this point. If they already knew what they wanted to develop for it, they'd just put it in GB.

That is correct, plus gingerbread
Personally I enjoy froyo a lot better then eclair and yes maybe it is not perfected however gingerbread is going to be a brand new version of android where as froyo is still a 2.x version of android making the possibilities in advancement greater then on froyo... Why waste time perfecting something when you have something better to perfect?

Think of Froyo like Windows Vista. It had improvements over XP but with a lot of problems too that left most rather unimpressed. So Microsoft decided cut short development of Vista in favor of developing Windows 7 which by-in-large has been well received such that we would like to forget that Vista ever happened. In the same way, I think we will forget about Froyo once Gingerbread releases, provided that it actually is a great remake of Android.
In other words, why waste time perfecting a buggy OS? Just start over. Rethink the OS from scratch with a few lessons learned from previous successes and failures.
Eh...just my $0.02.

Supposedly Gingerbread will completely overhaul the default Android user interface, to the point where HTC was being asked if they would even include Sense on 3.0 (they said they still would, unfortunately...) That's what I'm most excited about Android is pretty B.A. but it's ugly as heck.
Once again why waste time perfecting something when there is something new to perfect

I actually love how Google is keeping the surprise element of Gingerbread intact without any real leaks. I hope they don't allow a single substantial leak until the day of ota updating since I HATE feeling like a crack addicted donkey following a dangling carrot
We better get used to less updates anyways and be happy with our N1's as is without needing updates to keep us happy. Andy himself was saying that Android will eventually be just a once a year update: http://www.androidguys.com/2010/06/01/andy-rubin-android-updates-year/

Fixed.
The line just got cut a few days ago, wait a week until they start testing the n1 branch for it to leak.
if i recall correctly the froyo rom leaks didnt start until after froyo was announced.
by that logic im fairly sure it will take a few weeks to leak (if google follows the same weird update pattern it did last time.)
im fairly sure the nexus one branch has been in development for a while now, because the OS is finalized on the nexus (feature set wise). after the announcement the major optimization is done, and thats usually why there are several leaked copies of slightly different semi-final builds.
I'm not gonna get into it again(I already did during froyo release), but the android line isn't developed FOR the n1, it's developed primarily WITH the n1.
There's nothing N1 specific when they are doing feature sets. The Google Phone team does have an early heads up, but so does Moto, and Samsung, and just about all the big boys in the OHA.

Quick question, so now that the Gingerbread SDK is released,,what does that mean? Do that mean that Devs will start making roms based off that or that the official Gingerbread 2.3 is right around the corner?
Any word on whether or not they decided to use that BlindType keyboard that they bought earlier?
I KNEW IT!! haha thank you

I'm not going to lie. I'm not impressed. Android's copy and paste icons look like something from about 10 years ago to me. I like HTC's version better.
And the updated ui does look a little better now that everything is black with green highlights. Still an ugly ui overall.
It just helps app developers get up to speed. People have tried to do roms from these but they come out very hacky at best. The source for 2.3 is needed for full roms. The is the sdk.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I suppose that HTC has it in development already so they can inlay Sense over top of this. Also, now all the Dev's can start developing their new Rom's with this base. Hopefully Flipz is still on top of his game! No telling how long it will be before Sprint is done with it. I would imagine they will hold up any official update for whatever they have to do. It's just a matter of time now.
I swear I've embedded videos on the forums here ...
Android 2.3 sure looks ugly. I guess I'll be making a theme that makes it look like Froyo.
it means devs can start making apps for it im i think , but knowing xda theyll do their thing and have roms out before the official release

Either way we probably won't see a official 2.3 device on Sprint for at least a few months.

Who else is done flashing Roms/Kernels until Cyanogen comes to the vibrant?

I'm done flashing anything. I stopped on Axura and that's that. It's Cyanogenmod or bust.
I'm not even doing the beta crap either. I'm waiting for the first..maybe second, non beta official release.

I like Axura. Just flashed 2.2 today and everything is fine except i havent been able to send a MMS yet. Im sure ill get it fixed soon. 2.1 was running great for me. Guess is should of just kept that one.
I'll hold my breath for cyanogen the same I do for samsung. I've used cm on various devices, and while good, what exactly is it going to bring to the vibrant that team whiskey (or any other current dev besides axura) doesn't? They have bugs and issues, maybe not a ton, but they're there.
I'm happy with my tw vibrant.

I Agree!
Cleanup thread!
Deleted Off topic.
Please keep the topic of the thread!
I started with the G1 and have flashed too many ROM's to remember. I have found quite a few that I liked more than Cyanogen. Even though he has done a great job, just his name on a ROM doesn't make it the best there is.
not me!!, I'm going to keep flashing everytime there is a new rom I think is worth trying out, after all how will I know if I like something better if I don't try it?
What has the world come to? How can anyone call themselves loyal XDA followers and not be flashing a rom??? Its your duty.
