OTA_update_062_to_068_17_delta_image.pkg
Like OP says, version 068 is out now for E-Mobile users.
Judging from the size I believe it is still a 2.3.5 rom, the SPro still doesnt officially have ICS yet, but they're have it in testing for months now.
so basically not much different from other ROM?

I wanted to root my phone and also have a different skin but there are so many different versions like rc33, rc32, cupcake...etc what are the differences between the versions and which is the best version I should use and also the benifits of reflashing different radio versions.
The RCxx builds are based off of the official released (OTA, or Over The Air) that T-Mobile sent out to G1 owners. The xx numbers are the release version numbers. Rc29 had the 'root bug' that was patched in RC32. That is why the first step in rooting your phone is to go back down to that version, so that you can get root.
If you want to stick to the official releases from there, you just want to go to the highest RC version that's out.
You may also see the 1.1 and the 1.5 version numbers.. these are the versions of the android OS itself. Currently, all of the OTA versions released have been 1.1 - the newest update to android is 1.5, which will start to be released by T-Mobile via OTA this week.
From here it get's tricky. Since HTC makes the phone, Google (sort of) makes android and T-mobile releases it for their phones... there are multiple avenues by which the android OS can be obtained (and I'm sure as more manufacturers come on board, there will be more)
As these different flavors of the new 1.5 version (nicknamed cupcake) have been released in official and non-official ways, different developers have tried to create their own released.. this is how all the different versions have appeared. Karkuro relased different versions based on the HTC code and the Google code respectively. TheDudeOfLive released a couple versions based on the Google code... You'd have to read the individual forum threads on each versions to get the gist of the actual differences.. the first post of the threads will usually list what the major differences are.
Basically, like any open source project, there are several forks of the base code - expect this to get even more interesting/complicated in the near future.
Is there a good breakdown on the differences anywhere?
I already asked on AC, but no luck so far.
Hey Guys and Gals,
I currently have 2.2 Froyo 1.2 Running on my Dell Streak Unlocked, Seeing how the official 2.2 update will be out soon, I'm wondering if I should update when it comes out, I have only been in the scene for 2 weeks, So i don't know whether he 2.2 update will block the ability to root, or install unofficial apk's...
Any suggestions and and info is much appreciated.
Great question. Guidance on how to handle greatly appreciated. If OTA of 2.2 from Dell is downloaded, can we immediately root on Streak?
From what i've read, the method will be different but you should be able to (of course, that may change if certain things have changed since the leaked beta was seen in the wild)
I know I won't be. Stephen's FroYo builds are currently better and will stay better than anything Dell will ever put out.
Besides that I've heard that the leaked Dell build is only getting ~850-950 scores on Quadrant, while mine runnning Stephen's 1.2 gets ~1100-1200.

Thanks for the input Mr. Kyle, Looks like i will be staying on Stephen's Build, I don't see any reasons why I should upgrade to the official one, and I don't want to risk the root method, I'll wait and see what other members who will upgrade will say about it later on ...
Hi everybody, well, as many of you may know, here in Latin America (Brazil, Argentina, Chile) we have a specific Galaxy S model, the i9000B. Not too many changes from the T model, and Samsung just published the kernel diffs from the standard i9000 kernel source. Our problem is that we have no official ROM other than the old, slow and boring 2.1 Eclair. Well... there`s a leaked 2.2 ROM but what everybody here wants is to take advantage of all the great mods floating around but of course those can not be flashed in our B devices.
The question I would like to make is "WHY???". Of course the Kernel shipped on those ROMS might not be compatible, but as I said before we have access B sources so we could provide our own compiled kernels and mix them with the internation ROM which are of course binary compatible since the underlying harware is almost the same... but I guess that would not probe to be sufficient! What parts of the android platform could be device specific aside from kernel??? I heard something about the modem thing being specific to the geographic area...
Thnx in adv!
Hey guys,
there has been a lot of roms based on both froyo and gingerbread. Now that Honeycomb is on the way there will be even more coming...
Shouldn't we try to categorize them in to some categories according to the version of the operating system? I mean I can't seem to find what I want since the names of the builds don't show the operating system
most of them do say, or if you know about Android it's very easy to tell.
CM6.x = Froyo
CM7.x = Gingerbread
Sense (all versions) = Froyo except one build in NAND forum which says GB on it
MIUI = froyo (no gb version yet)
AOSP = froyo (I have not seen a stock aosp gb ROM, but if there was one I can almost guarantee the OP would state it)
keep in mind that most threads do have some version number like 2.3.2, 2.2.1 and even just clicking on the ROM will show it.
it will be a while before you have an actual daily HC build, and the OP will put HC in the thread title (just like the one in NAND does). These guys are pretty good about thread names, I don't think we need to get too pedantic with it.

+1, nice and easy. people need start to read
I was having some issues with my browser and email client and suspected it was due to not running a stock rom. Initially when ICS came out I was a little impatient, didn't wait for the OTA update and installed one of the "released" images.
Yesterday i spent most of the day trying different image. Initially I hoped to install an older version, like honey comb and the to OTA back to a stock ICS rom.
It seems that once your bootloader has been converted to ICS there is now way of going back to Honeycomb. I tried some things suggested on xda developer forum, but none produced the results.
I then installed what I believe is the current stock rom for an A500 giving me the following:
Android version: 4.0.3
Kernel version: 2.6.39.4+
Image version: Acer_AV041_A500_RV03RC01_WW_GEN1
Build number: Acer_AV041_A500_1.0.31.00_WW_GEN1
What I would like to confirm is that this is correct and that this version is the latest available from Acer.
I am not really interested in any of the custom images and don't need it rooted. So a stock standard Acer ROM should do me just fine.

Look in the dev section , the latest is 1.054.00_ww_gen1. It is in the sticky thread.
This thread describes in detail what I did http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1961301 but now my tablet is bricked. I am still hoping for some way of recovering it though.

This is what happens when you have multiple threads going. Nobody knows what the heck is going on.
Perhaps you think it increases your odds of getting your issue fixed, but now, it only compounds things.
If one of the issues is solved, then you need to edit your title thread to state so. This can be done by selecting Edit, Go Advanced.

The reason I started two threads was to answer different question. In this thread I was looking for the latest official released version of ICS available. The other thread describes my journey of trying different ROMs. I was hoping to downgrade to 3.1/3.2 and then to OTA to ICS. Well that is covered in the other thread.
Thanks for all your help. I got my answer on the latest version.
