Froyo Release Thread

I have no reason to ditch it, works fine.
I have had way less problems, even most other people's problems revolve around clockwork, that leads me to stay with SPR. I even got a bricked phone that I put most of the blame on Clockwork and ROM Manager.
I guess the thread moves so fast responses get missed......
I guess I should have said because of 2.2, the tests is completed faster.

I did a clean install of FroYo this morning, and everything is a-ok here. Using the 800mhz kernel, btw.

The new market is awesome, I just had 8 updates and theyre all done within like 2 minutes.
One way or another, people should get into the habit of wiping system and boot a few times. I've got experience with multiple phones and this always helps.
Rom manager is a diferent issue. I don't use it.
Again, read back through this thread and look at how many people had trouble with spr. Either they loose root, or can't get back into recovery, or have bootloops, etc.
I can wipe system/ boot with clockwork from the phone and don't have to rename everything to update.zip every time which is a HUGE advantage - I can apply whatever kernel I want without issue if I get a bootloop.
Even pete recomends clockwork. Its solid and has more features. People need to be formating boot and system and they are too lazy to do it with adb in spr. It would solve a lot of problems and save time and space on these boards.
I've flashed countless roms on multiple phones with clockwork and havnt had a single issue.
If you guys like having these issues then obviously no reason for me to complain, but most people would probably like to avoid the headache.
Boot/system formatting is my biggest issue, so people should at least be doing that. The ease of doing it with cw in-phone is a side issue. I just don't see the point of making things more difficult.
I'm not talking about rom manager at all.

That does not, unfortunately, make either of those the actual cause. FWIW, I've had good luck with both SPRecovery and Clockwork.
As Miami mentioned, Both are available and this is not the place for this discussion.
So that misinformation is not spread around this is incorrect.
I've been monitoring this thread since it started and flashing 2.2 with CW is causing some issues at this time.
Some people have luck with CW but the majority of clean installs are done via SPRecovery.
It's my job to correct misinformation so this is not an attack on you. It will just save a lot of members a headache when they are aware of potential problems.
Tip: Move Apps To Your SD Card In Froyo
Moving applications over to your SD card in Android 2.2 is actually incredibly simple. The problem right now though, is that it’s up to developers to actually allow their apps to be moved to the SD card. While many of you are not seeing the option to move them, as you can see from the screenie above, I was able to do it with a select few. Just be patient! Developers are still just getting used to Froyo!
Instructions…
1. Open Settings>Applications>Manage Applications.
2. Tap on the application you wish to move.
3. Tap on the box to “Move to SD card.”
4. Done! Now tap on the “On SD card” tab to see that your app has moved.
You can also move the app back to your phone by tapping on the the same app and selecting the “Move to phone” button.
Update: If you want to force move an app to the SD card, you can do so in Titanium backup. Simply long press on the app you want to move and choose “Move to SD Card.” Then if you go into Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>SD Card tab, you’ll see your app listed. You will also see a “Move to phone” option if you tap on it now. Awesome right? Cheers Androfan!

I moved setcpu to the card and it stopped working, I had to totally uninstall it and re-install it to make it function again. Did I miss a step in the process so that it would have worked from the card?
