Froyo Release Thread

[Speeding Wheels]

Sounds like they're not extracting the files correctly TBH.

Make sure after you DL that you extract the images you want.
If using SPR name the file update.zip after you extract it.

I just tried what you suggest c0y0te, didn't work. Also, there aren't any extra folders. I placed the 2010-06-05.06.15.32 folder in the clockworkmod/backup/ . Not sure what's going on...

Do this: run Quadrant on 2.1 See how long its sits at the 11/12 part of the CPU test. Install Froyo and see how long it sits at 11/12 of the same test.

U will see a difference.

See I don't get this. Why should I care how long it takes for step 11/12 on some benchmark test? How is that going to improve my user experience in any way?

Yes, its faster. Significantly faster. Everything that the phone does is dramatically faster, including apps that take a little while to get going, such as better cut's application list which takes forever to load. It loads up in a second or two now, instead of 10.

above are the root files needed for SPrecover root. Please just falsh as an update zip and it should give SU permissions back

UPDATE: Link to P3Droid OC Kernals with Wifi and 3G! (see link below):

Froyo Overclocked Kernels includes *wifi* fix

If i was to root and put this on my droid, would i be able to unroot for the "official 2.2" update?

 

[kepley]

Still at work on our problem.. Just a side note, I tried the UltimateDroid Froyo release and their version had the same conclusion.

 

[C5O]

^^^^
yes that is possible.

 

[c0y0te]

I just tried what you suggest c0y0te, didn't work. Also, there aren't any extra folders. I placed the 2010-06-05.06.15.32 folder in the clockworkmod/backup/ . Not sure what's going on...

Hmmmm, that's not cool. And you say you've tried with SPR and you have the same problem?

All I can say is make sure you are applying the correct downloads. I don't know if the folders are named differently, but it sounds like you had the right one.

Only other suggestion I have is check out boostdscoob's update.zip version from alldroid. Might work for you.

Just to be clear though, you didn't have any luck with spr either? Did it give you the same message?

I believe so, I can always try it again and see what happens.

 

[thewescampbell]

^^^^
yes that is possible.

would you use the same 2.0.1 manual update that was used to unroot for the unofficial 2.1 update?

 

[tcrews]

Do this: run Quadrant on 2.1 See how long its sits at the 11/12 part of the CPU test. Install Froyo and see how long it sits at 11/12 of the same test.

U will see a difference.

See I don't get this. Why should I care how long it takes for step 11/12 on some benchmark test? How is that going to improve my user experience in any way?

Quadrant measures a series of things your Droid will do.

12 CPU test
1 Memory test
4 I/O test
1 2D graphic test
3 3D graphic test

It averages all the test and gives you how your overall system is performing covering the Processor, the Graphics Processors, the file system I/O and Memory.

These are things your Droid does for everything.

2.1 @ 1200 mhz for me gave me a best of 758 on Quadrant.
2.2 @ 1200 mhz for me gave me a best of 1573 on Quadrant.

That should give you enough info. Real world use would be more like running applications, switching between apps, etc.. You won't see much difference in moving around the launcher screens, etc.. though it overall appears to be smoother/faster as well.

OTA release ? ? ?

Now that that 2.2 has been released for the rooted phones , when can we stock users expect the full OTA release ? I have no intentions of rooting my phone . I'm not experienced in doing it , so I'm not going to attempt it . I wish I was , it sounds like it's so much better , but I digress . Anyway , any info on a standard public OTA or a release for non-rooted phones , which is how I got 2.1 would be great ! I love this site

You don't have to root your phone to load 2.2. I did it without rooting. I download SPRecovery and installed it with RSD Lite. After that I ran SPRecovery, downloaded my files for 2.2, copied some files into the Nandroid folder and then did recovery.

That sounds real simple but I just completed it and it took me all day. But I am running 2.2 and I am not rooted. It can be done and it isn't that hard in retrospect. Thanks to all my friends in this forum for helping me at various times, it is very much appreciated.
