What is DJ05? That's a terrific question...

Dj05 is an update from Verizon. The official one is not released yet. It is a fix for some features. Like the soft key backlight now stays on with the screen. It has a GPS fix and numerous other ones. The one You hear about is just a non official one.
As for the who.... that's not of your concern

DJ05 is a mystical update only spoken of in the depths of IRC, also known as infinite rainbow colors.

thanks whatsup.. good answer

The update is all over the place right now. I dont know why people are having a hard time finding it. And it boggles me why its not being posted in these forums.
But if higher-ups dont want it posted here thats the way its gotta be.
Either way look at it like this....this update will be out before 2.2...........so 2.2 is far off for us!!!

One line of the channel log from Verizon says its a preperation update for "2.2 due next year"

I read a post around the beginning of the DJ05 teases that amounted to, "if we released this on the forums, there would be an explosion of new 'My phone doesn't work!!' threads the next day". I believe it's not fully public here more for the protection of the end users and sanity of the devs than withholding goodies. The #Samsung-Fascinate channel of IRC is where the devs hang out to work out kinks, if you're interested in participating before broadcast release.

The "higher-ups" don't want it posted here because the "higher-ups" are trying to protect the people who leaked the ROM in the first place. Test builds are often watermarked and traceable.

Thank you RTFM. I leaked DJ05. come get me Verizon!!!!!!

Watch out everyone. Dj05 is insanely unstable, i just got fired from my job for leaking it. The sad thing is i dont work at verizon. Thats the kind of reach verizon has. Watch out. They just came and took my cat.

I'd be surprised if verizon doesn't leak this stuff themselves. They can monitor the forums and chat rooms to see how well it works and they get free beta testers who can't complain to them if it breaks the phone.

What is interseting is Samsung Galaxy S version on Sprint (EPIC) came out with Android 2.2 and it isn't DJ05. It is something higher.

2.1 was probably something higher than 1.5 too. Of course it's going to be higher. DJ05 isn't froyo, and froyo isn't DJ05.

Aha! So you admit it! You are a VZ employee! You and ksizzle!

Learn to read lol he said he didnt work there. lol
as for the update... friend of mine that has it and it helping to test it for VZW has told me it will be another month or 2 for official release still far to "buggy", 2.2 that is....
on a side note i saw the new VZW Galaxy S LTE phone this weekend... its a prototype but freaking awsome!!!
the screen is crisper, has front facing camera, its a bit wider than the SF, but still very light. Comes with android 2.2 out of the box. from what i hear the data rates can be as good as 25M down and 8M up.
I must say that i was quite impressed with it...
unfortunatly i could not get a picture of it, my friend has alot of integrity.... sometimes thats a bad thing

OTA UVKA6 Update

Whats goin on here? ppl dont seem to excited after we have been crying for it since sept. It works very well unrooted. We finally get it and i seems like nobody really cares. This is a major step forward for the dev community. Im excited to see the kernels and other mods that become available in the coming weeks because of this OTA.....Mostly im looking forward to a SuperF ROM from Ben Buchacher. (Just My Pref..dont care too much for CM or TW very much)

wow! I didn't know this! how do you flash it??

if ur phone is rooted, u have to Odin back to Stock JFD frimware then open KIES Mini on ur computer and follow the directions...The Official froyo is called UVKA6

1. most people were satisfied when leaks started popping up
2. most people are waiting on samsung to release the 2.2 source (which samsung has 60 days to do so)

I think people were simply pissed at the audacity of the companies to hang us out to dry. Or we would have taken it up the ace had we not had these unofficial releases. I believe they felt abandoned and jerked around by a company they invested money in... so while i am glad they finally give an ounce of support i am happy running nero. And don't much care for stock i am excited to see how this affects our custom roms though!

+1 most of us here weren't so much worried about the rom as we were the source code. When samsung releases it we expect the devs to have major improvements on the custom roms.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

Updating to the Official 2.2 release has more of an impact on the millions of users who aren't on XDA. I was frustrated while I was on stock 2.1 mainly due to some issues with the bluetooth stack and some other quirks that Samsung put in. But I have finally rooted and customized my Vibrant (Nero5), so I am quite happy and don't want to deal with the headache that is minikies.
The only thing that I think I am missing on a custom ROM is audio out support for my Samsung Home Dock, but it isn't enough for me to try the official release at this point, because:
a) I don't know for certain that the feature is there
b) Not convinced that Samsung got it right.
Does anyone know of a list of features and bug fixes that are included in this release from T-Mobile beyond what is included in the general 2.2 update?

Where did you hear that source is being released in 60 days?

Source release is legally required by the GPL (GNU Public License), which the Linux Kernel uses. Android uses said kernel. There is also the Apache license for Android, which has certain requirements.

Updating from a stock image and wiping your data can eliminate any weird quirks you may have... at least that is what I have experienced.

It was released back on July 30, 2010.

I am very happy that froyo is here, now or at least soon the devs can optimize the kernal uv/oc and such. I won't be flashing stock on as nero is so much better. The thing is Samsung has left a bitter taste in my mouth, a little communication with its customers would have gone a long way. As it is the release of froyo seems as much a PR move as a delivery of a long over due promise. Got to think long and hard about any Samsung perchase in the future.

Nothing to be excited about. Im satisfied now. Theres nothing to rave about...

Info Only, new 2.2 to officially release 2/22 for VZW Fascinate

http://www.slashphone.com/epic-4g-w...ed&utm_campaign=Feed:+slashphone+(SlashPhone)
Wonder if we'll see this from our dev's (again) before the official release?

Here's another site I noticed: http://www.examiner.com/gadgets-in-san-francisco/samsung-fascinate-froyo-update-arriving-february-22nd

I'll believe it when I see it on the phones.

Doubt it. I'll believe it when I see it happening or when it's confirmed.

I'll believe it when a reliable source posts the info. Until then, I'll keep rocking the leaked ROMs waiting for Samsung to drop the source for us.

XDA will have a leak before any ROM goes live.

The dev may hole back on releasing to pretect the source.

This is the same company that said we'd get Froyo on the 21st of Jan. I'll believe this when I see the pop-up in my account that an update is available.

Hahahaha muaw hahaha.
From my super clean dl30 fascinate

That special magical day is just around the corner! That source was right about the Epic 4G so buckle up! I'll try to grab that update.zip for the devs if it differs from the EB01. tits.

I wouldn't get too excited just yet...There's been no solid or reliable word on the Fascinate update yet. Based on past experience, news of the OTA update will probably "leak" at least a few days ahead if not a week or two. I'm not saying it won't happen tomorrow, but if it doesn't happen tomorrow, you might want to try rooting your phone and installing the EB01 Froyo Rom. It's actually pretty stable and brings a lot of new features. It might possibly be the build that actually gets officially released.

Verizon usually posts an announcement on their web site prior to the OTA, listing changes and instructions on how to update.
So far, there are no new updates on their site...

I'm going to plead ignorant on this one and ask why everyone is so desperate for the official 2.2 OTA release if most people here seem to be rooted to 2.2 already? What's going to be the difference and/or the big deal? (I'm unrooted myself so am very much looking forward to the OTA update).

Samsung to update all the Galaxy S line to Gingerbread

Its official. They will begin with the European phones at mid month (arent we there already?) and then move on to the American phones. I'm guessing we'll see a leak in about a month.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/16/official-samsung-galaxy-s-and-galaxy-tab-getting-gingerbread-up/

Samsung has said that they'd step up their game with it comes to updates, and T-Mobile said they'd help push out updates faster.
I honestly think we may have a official release by the end of the month to early june.

Well, I really can be hopeful, since I'll also have the NS4G (getting it today), if they don't release it, I'll just play around with GB on the NS4G, and when the Vibrant gets GB, I'll have 2 amazing phones (not like the Vibrant isn't amazing now, but just not taking full advantage of it's hardware).

This is great news! Hopefully they do step up their software updates and push it out or leak it faster than we expect.

Hell, I'd rather take a leak, so that our amazing dev's can create working ROM's out of them.

Yeah a leak would come in handy. We'd get new roms and maybe some stuff fixed in CM7/MIUI. The Epic 4G had a leak not too long ago and i think there looking at another leak that one of the dev groups has. The ones that got us our leaks here in the vibrant section were Eugene373 and Krylon360, and their both gone. =(

Good news indeed... Lets just hope a leak comes early.

Binary roms will not help CM7 and miui roms with GPS because of the way Samsung calls on the GPS as compared to the way aosp calls on the GPS. This has been stated many times over, and yet still gets swept under the rug.
Even after the *kernel* source is released, it still contains nothing about GPS source.

GPS will probably never work for EVERYONE on the Vibrant... so might as well let it go and wait for some dev to make a mod that makes it work like Heathen's GPS fixes.
I was saying that GB would open completely new doors.
GB could help complete MIUI and CM7, as they are all Gingerbread based.
Even if it is AOSP, they have to use the things that Samsung gives.

They must be getting close. Also samfirmware indicated there would be multiple leaks before the end of the month. There is still a chance that final will be done by the predicted date even though prior history doesn't point to the likelihood of that.

I went from "GB? Who cares?" to "GB! Awesome!" almost to "Whatever." Hope reviews are great and prerooted flash packages are in supply. The pre-Froyo urgency just isn't there but at least they're working on it. And maybe it really does squeeze much more performance out of it.

They don't need to be releasing any final version until they finally get the GPS crash/force close bug fixed, that'll be a deal breaker for thousands of people if they release anything official with that issue still in play.

Exactly my thinking. All these people annoyed at another new build, meanwhile the one we have still doesn't work. Are they expecting Samsung to release it full of holes? With the current version rebooting and having no function GPS, I'm happy to see new versions hitting. Means hopefully they're actually working on the problem.

I still can't understand how what is now a legacy device can possibly give their engineers such problems with the modem and other comm chipsets. It looked to be all solidified in Froyo and now for GB it's the biggest boogeyman?! What are they trying to do...?

The problem isn't how many builds they're making, it's how long will it take them to get it right this time. No one wants the froyo situation to repeat itself with gingerbread.
