I have that checked. Screen would autorotate when I was 2.1, now it won't for 2.2.
Hmm...I also just did easy root.

Here is one person who got 2.2 from a Verizon store manager. It was build FRG22.

Is there any way to AVOID updating to 2.2? Or will it eventually be forced on me?

I'm thinking about doing this as well, just to be safe. How did you get back to 2.1?

Install a ROM that blocks OTA updates. Not sure why you'd want to, but there you go.
Oh, and did I make it the whole page so that the guy who was playing a game could win?

I'm going to hazard a guess and say "using RSDLite to flash a 2.0.1 SBF file to my phone, thereby taking it back to the same configuration it had when back in November 2009".
I just rooted - how do you get rid of things like Amazon?
So far, the clean install has smoothed out my phone tremendously. Even after just one hour on the patch install, the phone was sluggish, especially on the homescreen. The clean install is much smoother, and everything is much more responsive. Hardware keyboard seems to work correctly too now, which is very nice. *knock on wood*
I have no idea where FRG22 came from, but I'm going to stop worrying about it now
Same here. My phone is running MUCH better now. I still have easy root too and am leaning towards rerooting to get rid of some of the dumb apps I never use like amazon mp3. If I root, delete that then unroot, will it stay gone?
What amazes me is how so many people are completely comfortable trusting total strangers who provide custom scripts that enable root access to their phones. Does the thought not cross your mind that you are basically asking to be owned?
Not that I don't have a great appreciation for what those guys do (nor am I claiming that they aren't trustworthy) however I am betting very, very, very few of you have taken the time to research and understand exactly what the exploit that is giving you root access actually does or how it works, or the real risks associated with rooting your phone (and trust me, violating your VZW warranty should be the least of your worries). I am guessing you haven't bothered to check out the source code (modifiedexploid.c) that is being run when you install easyroot or how easy it is to leverage that exploit to maliciously gain root access once you have put it on your phone. And most importantly as you start to show off that root access by running more and more apps that "require root access" your risk of getting owned increases exponentially as you grant the unknown developers of more and more untrusted code unrestricted access to your phone.
Linux/android is a very powerful operating system, mobile devices today have more computing power and network reach than many older PCs and servers. Opening up root access to your android phone is just as if not more dangerous than giving a stranger on the internet full administrative rights to your home network, PCs or your office servers. I am guessing that none of you would click a link in an email from a complete stranger that says "Click Here to grant me full access to your computer to do what I want, when I want, how I want without you ever knowing" and yet you don't think twice about doing it on your mobile device????
Someone out there is having a field day with all of these "providers" that are giving up root access to their devices (and what is really sad is that many of you are PAYING money to give someone that level of access to your device). If you don't know what a "provider" is and you have rooted your phone then you probably are one.
My advice, go back to stock as soon as possible and wait patiently for the OTA or at least do your homework and make sure you truly understand the risks you are taking by doing it. Spend a few minutes googling a few famous exploits from the past like the Melissa Virus, Klez, ILOVEYOU, NIMDA, SQL Slammer, My Doom, Sasser and Netsky, Leap-A or the Storm Worm, and if that doesn't make your spidey senses tingle then maybe you really are kewl enough to be a l33t rooter, or maybe you are just another foolish provider.
Hookbill I couldn't agree more, something defintely isn't right here...
So basically if you take this dumbass (me) who took three hours to root and overclock his phone yesterday who can figure this out why is anyone worried.
And by the way, EasyRoot was EASY. Then install the new Update.zip and your done and can un-root.
So stop worrying.
I'm enjoying being overclocked to 1000 and the set cpu settings that vary that to save battery.
