Froyo Release Thread

[17akota]

Anybody got tips on making Swype (or another keyboard like HTC) work on 2.2 ?

The Swype APK I have loads but dosent function correctly.

i have a themed swype working just fine. try uninstalling, then install again. works most of the time.

well i have been asked for Froyo for non root uses. I have even asked for i myself. I know I am a bit late but we wil have a release and instructions for non root users to be able to move to froyo now. I am sorry for the delay.

Thanks

Edit: The non-root will have it's own thread and Not be part of this one.

Let me guess...you will need rsdlite.

You are going to need rsd to get back to stock.

Can anyone help?

I'm trying to switch from p3's 600mhz kernel to his 1ghz kernel. I tried just installing the 1ghz kernel over the 600mhz one but that didn't work... how do I change kernels?

Download the zip file from the OP of this thread
rename it to update.zip
place on sdcard
boot into sprecovery
allow update.zip
install update.zip
reboot phone

That method doesn't work for me, considering I already have a kernel installed, how can i remove the 600mhz kernel from my phone?

How exactly is it not working?
Make sure when you rename the file to update.zip your actually not making it update.zip.zip If your running Windows 7, when you rename it just name it to update, Windows will do the rest. I think that it's the same on Vista but I can't remember.
Then place on the root of your SD card.
Boot into SPRecovery
ALLOW update.zip
INSTALL update.zip
reboot

wasnt referring to myself Im already rooted and plan on staying rooted. I am saying the method for not rooted droids to get froyo will be rsdlite.

I can't get the wifi tether app to work

Did you lose root access when you went to 2.2?
does any other root apps work?

I have root access I know that I think it wants a kernal

Go back to the OP and grab a kernel from the link

to clarify..you have to choose allow update.zip install

then install update.zip(depracated)

I'm curious - why are so many people messing around with the SPREcovery method if it causes you to lose root? Clockwork worked absolutely fine for me.

Not everyone uses clockwork.

And it's more of losing access to root than root itself.

you still keep sprecovery so it is easy to root again using another file. Either way works. I am using sprecovery and I did not have any problems.

CWM has had issues as well for some people.
SPR is easier to fix these problems as of right now.
