Froyo Release Thread

[rustynail09]

First, I would like to start by bowing to the Droid Masters for bestowing upon us this great gift! Installed it earlier today, went to use MetaMorph, and my busybox was gone... got home from work, reinstalled busybox, installed the flash player properly, now everything is golden.

Performance differences between 2.1 and 2.2 are very apparent when you run benchmarking tools like linpack. My Mflops went from 8.22 at the best to 15.8 right after installing the 1ghz kernal from P3.

Great work gentlemen (and ladies if any were involved!) and my droid thanks you for the great gift!

Busybox

Any info on installing busybox?

Ok I re-installed 2.2, no wiping, and maps is working. I'll test run it some more to see if anything else is wrong.

Anyone else having issues booting into recovery after downloading 2.2?

Nope.....Works fine here.

It's strange. I hold down x and it doesn't go to the recovery screen. Tried a battery pull and still nothing

this has been said a few times but go into rom manager and flash an alternate recovery, you might have to do it several times but it should work

Anyone see where my corporate calendar went??? LOL...guess they decided I did not need it!

It's integrated into the main calendar app now. If you add a corporate account it will appear in your calendar list.

Maps /works/ for me also; it's just the market thinks it's not installed. And won't install it over the one I have, either. Which is fine for now, but when they upgrade to a new version, then what?

Great job everyone involved. This is what makes Android's open source so amazing. This community is great.

That said I tried 2.2 and set everything up. Switched back to BB1.1 because It is by far the most stable ROM I have tried and I kept losing root even after I flashed the fix over and over. No big deal. This is brand new so nobody should expect perfection.

I can't wait to see what the ROM developers cook up this Summer. I Look forward to BB2.0 Froyo along with all the others.

Thanks again to all that make this so much fun.

Man I remember when I had a MOTO Razr.

Firstly : A very big THANK YOU to everyone who released, and helped release this.

I installed the SP recovery method.
Installed the Overclocked kernel.
Installed flash.
Didn't erase/wipe a thing.
Took a full 5 minutes to boot up (I was getting nervous I messed something, but started reading more of the thread and realized this was normal).
Waited a good 15 minutes in case it was downloading stuff, it didn't do much in this regard.
Started messing around, hoping for blazing speeds, and didn't see it. In fact, it got signifcantly slower. Looked in setCPU and I lost root (wtf?). Read thread again to search for this issue. Found it. Downloaded file in the original post (making me feel stupid that I just didn't look there in the first damn place). Got root again. setCPU to 800, which was the max (wtf?). Downloaded a faster kernel, updated, rebooted set setCPU to 1100. Finally.....

wow.

Fast. I mean, like fast fast. lol this is great. I was actually thinking of getting a new phone maybe in a few weeks because the tiny bit of lagginess I would experience bothered me. That issue is gone.

Woot.

When you overclock - it is really really really fast. I mean like "too fast", I opened apps up by accident because it's so damn fast.

Once again - thank you everyone.

I just have one question... if Froyo is supposed to be so much faster than previous versions... how come I didn't see this massive speed increase until I overclocked? Any theories?

Thanks again.

If you were in clockworks ROM Manager, you need to do it at minimum 2x for it to flash to SPRecovery for many people (had to do it twice personally) and then it flashed SPR.

 

[guest123]

were did you find the download link to fix the root problem?

Thanks I will give that a try! I appreciate the help

[FONT=&quot]Things to remember with this release:[/FONT][FONT=&quot]

You must have a rooted Droid to use this ROM[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
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[/FONT][FONT=&quot] [/FONT]

Thanks, I flashed to sprecovery and back to clockwork and it finally let me boot into recovery from rom manager.
