Just saw a tweet from DLife about an improved Froyo 2.2. Anyone try it yet? I'm not sure I want to do a wipe if its not really that much improved.
EDIT: link http://www.droid-life.com/2010/08/02/download-new-android-2-2-droid-incredible-build/
EDIT EDIT: My recommendation is that you don't use this build. It lacks the stock wallpapers except for the red swirl. It lacks the stock ringtones, AND I'm not sure it even has Flash 10.1. Some sites don't seem to work now that I installed it and I'm reinstalling the previous 2.2 leak instead of this one.

Im steering clear from it. I have made a stable ROM based off the first leak, used skyraider2, amd used the leak itself, amd there is nothong wrong with the firsf.

So far I agree.... Not worth wiping out everything I've done with the first leak! Unless someone can convince me otherwise.
I do have one question though.... Shouldn't there be some way to update the first leak with a new version in the future without wiping the phone? They should have mostly all the same base right?

I'd be more than happy to keep doing "upgrades" if that was the way it worked but these really aren't upgrades; they're new installs. Wiping each time is painful.

+100. I've worked out all the bugs that affect my daily usage: 3g hotspot working, no 0's on my Gmail, still pulling 1250-1300+ on Quadrant, market/browser work beautifully. I'll need to see some solid improvements/benchmarks to make it "worth" switching.
Though for posterity's sake, for those concerned about wiping, since it's a 2.2 -> 2.2, I would think a proper titanium restore would work without much issue, app-wise.
Opposite
I am the opposite ... I see no reason to apply a beta radio and a beta pre-release (even one from yesterday) at this point, especially if its going to be a pain in the butt due to radio reflash and app reinstall. Would just as soon wait in hopes that unrEVOked can root the real OTA. Would MUCH rather go thru the pain and effort (and danger) using VZW's release.
Have you gotten Ti backup to work with 2.2? I had issues. It worked to restore my apps from 2.1, but since switching to 2.2 I could do a backup. I remember there being some issue but not what it was. I haven't tried again since.
As for the upgrade, I'm only using the stock Froyo rom and I've found some bugs in it when using Seesmic and Astro amongst others. I think they need to upgrade for 2.2 compatibility before I upgrade the rom.

Just installed the latest ota. All if well. No problems like the last rom. No lame patches and bugfixes neccessary. Works good. Titanium backuped everything fine. Took me 5 minutes after full wipe to have all my stuff back to normal.
None?
Check your paid market apps and make sure they all show up

Did you do a "Backup all user apps + system data" and then "Restore missing apps + all system data" or did you just do apps? I'm new to best practices of Titanium Backup... Thanks!
I just do app+app data. No system crap...it isn't that hard for me to add the 4 icons and clock to the screen and setup some ringer preferences...even with all that it took me 5 minutes. Some people may have insane screens full of widgets and apps...mines pretty simple. Also I already fixed my build.prop Plus I only have 2 paid apps...titanium and phonemypc and I already pulled the apks from my phone to install manually without the market anyway. So I dunno.

Well, see?
You had to do a lame fix
Damn. I'd have to go back in and remove all of the bloatware, reinstall all of my apps, and everything else. Not sure I'm up for a minor fix.
Just installed it.. I have to say.. its THE BEST ota leak so far. It's far more stable than the first leak... and it seems like it doesn't drain the battery as much..
Most recent ota leak is a nice improvement over first 2.2 leak. And yeah all you guys saying full wipe is painful.... titanium backup is awesome and can have you back from a full wipe with everything restored and intact within minutes. This 2.2 is faster, fixes most of the problems of the first leak (yes market still needs the fix... so what? Easy easy fix....) and imo is very much worth the upgrade. But seriously only once you know how to extract the most from titanium....
I am more than happy to help anyone with advice on titanium usage or whatever.... pm if you have questions or need help
What's the Market fix?

I've got it down to about a half hour doing a Titanium restore. I just use that to restore the apps and the data.
What takes most of the time is getting the screens set up again.
Still seem to have problems with the Market however... intermittent freezing, hangs on "downloading", etc.
I've seen a lot of this in the 3.0 Sense ROM threads and experienced it as well. This is a solution that worked for me on my Incredible and when I tried it on my Eris it worked on that as well. If you want to try it out please do and report your results here whether it worked for you or not so others can decide for themselves whether or not to try it as well.
It seems like there is something strange that goes on when using *228 with the Sense Roms ported from another carrier. Though it hasn't been determined yet where the problem finally lies there has been a work around that has worked for others, myself included. It just requires a little bit of your time to complete it. The process requires unrooting your Eris, activating and updating your PRL, then rooting and flashing your preferred rom. I know this sounds like a lot of work however, thanks to great people such as bftb0, amon-ra, j-case, and scary alien, it's not as much work nor as complicated as it sounds
This also works for fixing issues with sending and receiving sms/mms. I do recall that with the texting issue that can be fixed by flashing xtrSense. It has not yet been confirmed if using xtrSense works with the 3g data drops or not but I have had PM's from users that don't have enough posts do post in the dev section confirming that this procedure worked for others having the data issues.
1. Download the FlashBack21 v2 made by bftb0 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792026
2. Flash the flashback ROM as you would any other ROM. (Yes this will remove amon recovery and your phone will be completely stock)
3. When your phone boots go through and setup everything as normal. Once that's done dial *228 and select option 1 to activate your phone.
4. After your phone reboots dial *228 again and choose option 2 to update roaming capabilities. Your phone will again reboot after it's completed.
5. Download j-case's recently modded 1-click root app modded by scary alien. You can get this from the following link and scroll to Scenario 5. This will also install amon-ra recovery that Scary alien modified for track-ball optional.... yes.. it's goofy trackball friendly
http://androidforums.com/eris-all-t...2-custom-recovery-trackball-not-required.html
6. Be sure you have the setting checked to allow 3rd party apps to be installed in Settings>applications, copy the 1-click to your sd card and using astro or another file manager install the app and run it.
7. Reboot into your freshly installed recovery and flash your favorite ROM and enjoy having no more 3g data drops.
**Just remember... until the root of the conflict is resolved. Do not use *228 on the 3.0 Sense ROMs.
Please be sure to hit the thanks button on the linked threads to show your appreciation for the work these guys have done on the flashback to stock and everything else. This isn't something they put together in a few minutes and they don't have to do any of it for us. If you don't have an AF account to thank Scary Alien hopefully he will post in this thread soon as well and you can thank him here
As always.. what you do with your phone is your ultimate responsibility and not that of anyone else. No one in any of these threads is responsible for anything that may happen while using any of their work.
CondemnedSoul,
Excellent work, as always, and thank you for your thanks. You are one of many great folks both here and at AF that continue to help out the Eris community, long after the phone was first released (I got mine in middle of Nov. '09).
Please let me know if you need help testing anything on my Eris--its not activated, however, so I don't think I'd be able to help debug any 3G-related bugs for you guys .
Cheers and good luck tracking this issue down.
I don't use Sense 3.0 based roms. I tried Gin-sen-taz but it was too buggy on my phone i might try the latest soon but I'm happy with AOSP right now
Still, thanks for the work-around/fix
I'll try this out once the next version of GST hits the streets. thanks for your efforts!
Sweet deal!
I will try asap and let you know.

Any thoughts to doing a*228 while on a stock-based ROM, like XTRSense, or does it seem to be a "start over from the beginning" deal?

I would think it could be worth a try. It seems like on the Inc it has to do with *228 on the sense ROM's ported from another carrier, which there are a lot of especially for GB Sense. There was 1 ROM that a few people had luck on the Inc without having to go through the unroot/reroot process. That was a Stock based ROM as well. Only reason I posted this way so far is this was the way I did it and I know worked for me. If anyone tries it using xtrSense or another stock based ROM without the lengthy process outlined and has positive results I will gladly edit the OP to add that process as well ... It's definately worth a try though

I'm hoping for some feedback on this soon as well. Given that its not an issue for you now on a freshly rooted phone and it wasn't happening to me after doing this gives a good indication that this should work for most if not all the other users experiencing this.

tried just flashing xtrSense and going through the *228 steps. It didn't work. it seemed to skip through the programming pretty quick, even though it said it was successful. then after i rebooted, i would loose the network. Tried *228 several more times, unsuccessful.
ran the flashbacktostock ROM, and followed your steps from the OP and had network back again.

By my thinking, it should work using xtrSense as it is basically a rooted version of Sense 2.1, is it not ? Sorta like jcase's "plain jane" ROM(s)... If so, it would eliminate what, a couple of the steps ?
I may give it a try again. I really liked the Sense ROMs I tried but the issues were deal-breakers for me.

My daughters phone did the same thing - After you do the "dial 1" step, Go to setting/Accounts & Network and change your network from home only to automatic A or B (either one will pick up a signal).

I think *22899 just does prl update. *22891 or 7 is it? Does the activation. That's what I thought anyway. I could be and have been wrong before though... Lol

So I've searched and everyone seems to say that the OTA updates are stored in the cache folder. I've looked there and don't see it (there's nothing at all in the cache folder).
I've been on Froyo with Syndicate Frozen ROM and am quite happy with things as they are. But my phone decided to automatically download the new update and it's been bugging me about installing it.
I've since blocked the SystemUpdate.apk and it doesn't bother me every 15 minutes like it used to, but when I reboot the phone it still tells me that it's been downloaded and is ready to install.
I don't suppose it's that big of a deal to just disregard the message on the rare occasion of a reboot, but still.. I'd like to delete the file from wherever it's been stored so it never bothers me about it again.
I'm using Adao File Manager if it matters. I'll try root explorer if I have to, but just don't like needlessly installing apps.
Thanks =)

I used Gemini App Manager (it's free in the market). You have to enable USB debugging for a while while you do this. Download it, open it, menu>Expert Mode, scroll down to system update, long press, block app.
You can do something similar with Titanium if you have it, but Gemini is free in the market.
Like I said, it hasn't been bugging me every 15 minutes like it used to, so this is decent solution for the time being, but every time I restart it bugs me about it again. I'd prefer to delete it so I don't have to worry about accidentally pressing okay.
I haven't actually blocked/frozen it yet, it takes me half a second to hit install later but I'm thinking about freezing it. And I get the feeling there may be a gb rom worth flashing in a few days (keeping an eye on you starsky for that theme =P).
EDIT: oh I heard the ota may also be in data/cache
EDIT 2.0: my update is sitting right in /cache
Apparently Adeo doesn't see the update. I installed Root Explorer, found and removed the update. Still pops up on every reboot. Very annoying. =\
I'm tempted to make a nandroid backup and press install just to see what happens.
I am closing the beta for the time being, have a handful of testers atm. It may open up again, stay tuned.
You know the name of the game. Experienced ICS users only please.
I have been putting together a frankenstein type ICS build, blending some tweaks with:
-Beta 2.5.1 i9000
-Beta2 by goodoane
-ICS_4.0.1_r1-Beta2-i9000.zip by onecosmic
-Recommended using the FuguMod_Vibrant_Kernel_BETA2.zip from here: http://code.google.com/p/ice-cream-...mmary+Uploaded+ReleaseDate+Size+DownloadCount (the kernel is included in the zip)
-Also recommend the KB5 modem, from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19795419&postcount=130 (this is also included in the zip, but its not flashing with the rom as of right now)
This has some framework, build.pop, and ui tweaks applied, but I've pulled back on the theming to direct my attentions to functionality.
-Keymapping is corrected
-Can mount via MTP mode
-Moutning works in recovery
-ADB and Shell both work
-SU out of the box
-Lockscreen rotates and screen rotates 360 degrees
Not working:
Must toggle mute (on then off) in order to be heard by incoming callers
GPS
Video Recording
Video Playback (buggy)
You tell me what else to add here.
Installation: (coming from another ICS build, or CM7 only!!)
-Reboot to recovery, perform a factory reset
-Go to mounts and storage and format system
-Flash the Beta2 Kernel (FuguMod_Vibrant_Kernel_BETA2.zip)
-Flash the rom
-Flash your modem (no longer need to reflash the kernel)
-Fix permissions
-Reboot the phone
New Info
As you guys have read, I have been running the data data tweak from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20017090&postcount=1756 and it seems to have made things a lot more stable. No odd application issues going on anymore, although there is a bit more lag, but I think I have found a temp fix for that.
Since Friday night I have been running AutoKill Memory Optimizer, free version from the market. Its not a task killer really, but it maintains the amount of free system memory on your device, from what I understand. I am using Aggressive settings, with the Advanced settings for Memory and Battery enabled, and my phone is flying!
If you guys want, give that a shot, and let me know your results.
*******************************
So, who wants to test?
First, you promise not to release this or share it with anyone, by signing up you agree to this one term.
You should have experience with ICS, and know how to flash it and recover from a bad flash.
If you've never flashed ICS before, you definitely want to start there.
I am looking to possibly release this to the wild by the end of the week, so active testers are a big plus!
When I feel like I have enough testerss I will post that on the top of this post, just ask in here, and I will pm you a link.
I'll test, running ICS now.. I know how to do a little above basic stuff.

What rom were you coming from? This should run with both bootloaders, but I'm on the stock bootloaders, so that might be it. Also, you should be coming from either CM7 or another ICS rom.
Maybe try redownloading the file and reflashing.

I would be glad to help with testing with one caveat. I need either USB tethering or wifi hotspot to be working. I use that quite frequently and would not be able to keep the ROM installed without it.
So I'm currently running a clean EC07 ROM, downloaded from the dev section of our forum. I originally was using Miunia and loved it, up until the FCing became just ridiculous and my home screen would act weird. So, about 2 weeks ago, I flashed the clean EC07 in the hopes of solving these issues.
A few FCs still occur, but not as often as when I had Miunia, so I'm willing to overlook that. My main concern now is the home screen issue. Basically, whenever I back out of an app that I've been using for a while (like 5 minutes or longer), my home screen will appear completely blank, and I have to wait almost 5 seconds for everything to reappear on my home screens. I only have 3 home screens, and mostly app shortcuts, along with a weather widget, flashlight, and screen filter.
I understand that this probably looks foolish, considering how short the wait time appears to be. But I don't understand why my phone does it. My phone started doing this after Miunia; I have no idea if the cause stems from that or some other issue. Either way, I was hoping someone could help me figure out why and how to solve it.
I thought it might have something to do with RAM, since our phone only has like 338 MB. My phone usually sits with about 80-90 MB of free RAM on average. Not sure if this is normal, but that's how it is consistently. If you guys need more info to help me out, please ask! I'll give you any info you need.
Thanks!

My phone started doing this after Miunia; I have no idea if the cause stems from that or some other issue. Either way, I was hoping someone could help me figure out why and how to solve it.
I thought it might have something to do with RAM, since our phone only has like 338 MB. My phone usually sits with about 80-90 MB of free RAM on average. Not sure if this is normal, but that's how it is consistently. If you guys need more info to help me out, please ask! I'll give you any info you need.
Thanks!

Try wiping dalvik cache to help stop the force closes.

Didn't really help. Still having FC issues. And any ideas about the empty home screen? Should I find a different ROM? I'm getting tired of these problems.

I was using Touchwiz. Just switched to Zeam yesterday to see if it would help. Still happening.
OK. let me ask you this. Is there any reason you seem to be hellbent on 07, as opposed to moving to 09? I used to have that same issue with anything but go launcher, on 07. I'm on 09, now, running tw and the only time it has to reload (what is happening is it's being cleared out of cache to make room for other apps) is when I play draw something.
My solution to you, would be to back up your apps, any texts you want, and make sure your contacts are synced with google, then revert to dl17 stock, ota the ec09 update, then move to one of the ec09 prerooted roms, be it ciscogees (you'd have to debloat that one yourself) or one of Pat's, which are debloated already, and his debellaire has Trailblazers mods incorporated, already.
Lol. I'm not hellbent on staying on EC07. I just didn't want to go through the hassle of DL17 to EC09 to rooted EC09. Seemed too cumbersome a process. I also don't know the difference between EC07 and EC09 so I didn't see any advantages in going through that process.
Which specific ROM are you currently running? It sounds like you have minimal problems and that's exactly what I want.

First, the process sounds a lot more cumbersome than it is. The whole thing (once I had the files) took me about 30 minutes, including the ota. Second, 07 was a good rom, for a leak. But, it was still a leak, with all the bugs associated with it. A lot of those bugs, including your memory issues, were fixed with 09. I'd recommend the ota route. But, if you can't/don't want to go that way, there are options. Abby has a full package, and trailblazer extracted the update files. I'm on my own rom. But it is pretty much identical to ciscogee's rom. They were made with the same method (hence the reason I never posted mine). If you want it, I'll crate a post linking it. If not, go with one of the three I mentioned. And, if you want help doing this, I'll be glad to work with you.

Okay. You've convinced me. So my first step is to flash stock DL17 from the forum, do the OTA, then flash a prerooted EC09? I don't care about my apps, I can just redownload and install them. Most of that data's in the cloud anyways. Contacts are fine with Verizon's Wireless Assistant. Pictures are on my SD card. But how can I save my texts? Is there a specific app you recommend?

Sms backup. Search that on market, or play, or whatever the hell they wanna cal it. That is what I use (blue icon). Run it, and you'll be good. If you dont want the hassle of downloading all your apps again, the app manager section of rom toolbox, or titanium backup are both good. Choose "app + data" on the options, and you won't have to reenter account data, or redo preferences.

I followed the instructions from another thread you recently commented on and went through the whole process. You're right, it was painless and quick. My phone is amazing again. No FCs, no blank screens! Thanks so much man!

Outstanding. Did you ota, or flash abbys full package (the rom I posted in that thread is actually abby's)?

I wanted to minimize the odds of having problems, so I went back to stock DL17, let it do the OTA update, used SuperOneClick to root, flashed a deodexed EC09 (section 3, whatever ROM was linked) and finally used Titanium Backup to debloat.
It was a very clear guide. No room for error. Well written!

I believe the deodexed I referenced was the one I made. So, it should work good. If you have any problems with it, let me know, and I will personally deal with it, to the best of my ability. Or get the answers that you need.
