Froyo Release Thread

[Vulcan1600]

Things to remember with this release:

You must have a rooted Droid to use this ROM

The initial install takes a few minutes, be patient, it will boot up. (Mine was like 4 mins.)

Wifi and 3G now work...link: Froyo Overclocked Kernels includes *wifi* fix

The first time you run this update.zip it will take several minutes to install.

Follow the instructions like this: 1. Start with initial download; 2. Install the Flash .apk on your SD; 3. Install the P3Droid OC Kernal for WIFI and 3G and you’ll be all set.

Those who are already rooted and saying "hey I lost SU", go to step #3 I described above.

I had to run "Flash Alternate Recovery" twice before I could go back to SPRecovery from ROM Manager

For those having problems with Titanium Backup. Install the newest version of Busybox, and you should be good to go

If you have a fresh install and think your phone is really lagging badly, hang in there, it’s doing the sync of apps and contacts. Give it like 20 minutes and even at 800 mhz you will be amazed how snappy it becomes.

Apps2sd and Google maps is apparently hit or miss

Okay so I'm stuck. When I ran the file from SPRecovery and rebooted, i now have Clockwork instead. When i go to install Froyo, it says file not found. I did exactly what the instructions said on the first page, unzip, put folder in /clockwork/backup and nothings happening! please help!

Try rebooting the phone first, if that don't work then erase that folder and readd it back.

I have everything in place, replaced the original folder and copied everything over, even tried another SD Card, Clockwork says file not found when the file (2010-06-05-05.06.15.32) is in the correct folder.

I installed SPRecovery version, at first it was very slow but now that i have the OC kernel and root everything is very fast. I have wifi, 3g, and ADW launcher and everything is faster than it was on BB v1.1. no maps yet.

 

[jlouang]

installed 2.2 and flash. I have no internet (3G icon) without wifi. if I want to sync my gmail or use the browser I have to turn wifi on. how can I fix this?

try rebooting first, than call *22899, and see if your 3g icons comes back

I'm having trouble with flash. I used the file in the OP, extracted it using winrar and moved the apk to the download folder on my sd card. Then I used astro to download flash and it worked. I tried going to hulu to work it but it says "were sorry this video is not supported on your platform"

I'm using xscope lite btw

Help please! Thanks!

No clue. Asked this also. I finally just copied the update.zip to my sd card, used ROM MANAGER and installed ROM for sd card. Haven't tested it yet. How did you use astro file manager to download flash?

My maps was recovered during sync and it appears to be working, but does not show on market that it is installed.

I'm using Clockwork, so I'm not sure if this will work for SPR, but I don't see why not. I was able to repeat this twice just to make sure it worked, so here'e the process:

1. Using Root Explorer (or ADB) move Maps.apk to the SD card
2. restart the phone
3. install Maps.apk from the SD card (not from the Market)
4. Go to Settings-->Applications-->Manage Applications-->All and find Maps
5. Click on "Clear Data" and the "Uninstall"
6. You should now be able to go to the Market and install it from there

(note: Maps.apk is in /system/app) This procedure didn't work for me either. I get a "Install unsuccessful".

This is what I got too.

In the hopes this helps someone else, I tried the Froyo release.

I was running NextBeast 1.1 with the supplied kernels, and my Quadrant score was 546 and my SetCPU short test was around 350ms.

I cleared DATA, CACHE, SYSTEM, and installed Froyo. I then installed the 250MHz-1.2GHz kernel. I then rebooted.

After re-entering my google authentication information it synched up a lot of applications and contacts and stuff.

DID NOT WORK:
1. Google maps did not want to update automatically. It wanted me to "manually" click on "Install". It would not install... but there was already a working version on the device.

2. Apps-installer did not want to install anything. After scanning /SDCARD it would FC. I did manage to get Astro to install things.

3. SETCPU said no root... but adb shell gave me a root shell... so I don't know how to fix that. ALSO "Terminal" said no root, and did not give me a root shell. There is no longer a "superuser" app to set permissions.

4. WiFi works -ok- with the supplied kernel but the association goes away after some period of time. For me I'd say about 30 minutes... I was doing full backups/restores/tests... so I wasn't timing it.

The Quadrant score was much higher... so I'm hopeful that when "Those who know what they are doing" can correct the issues... or do a fresh build from source... those of us who know how to say "Thank you very much" will have an ever[sic] bigger reason to do so.

To the developers working on 2.2 who do not hide your source trees... I say THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I look forward to enjoying your work going forward.

Try this, go to market, download Rom Manager (free version will work).Open the app, first selection, and it is gonna reflash your Clockwork again. Then repeat the process of installing 2.2

download the apk, save it to sd card, use astro to find and open file and select install

I don't understand why you guys are messing around with maps. Yeah, it has a problem in the market, but the ROM comes preinstalled with the latest version of Maps, so it doesn't matter.

But anyway, Thanks a billion guys for this release. I've been itching for 2.2 for a couple of weeks now. I'm running this as my permanent ROM. Runs fantastically!

OMG... this has been a wonderful day, my phone is running flawless especially with the new 1250 kernel

 

[jackals]

Will all things work with doing this? IE marketplace and apps?

 

[jackals]

I have an LG Ally, can I do this? Also what the hell are kernels?
