****Official FroYo Rollout Thread****

[steveninspokane]

Just wondering if this is an isolated indecent, but while connected to my home router with my Droid, I try to access the Market, and I can't search for anything, it gives me a network error. However when I turn wifi off, and just use the 3g, it will then allow me to search on market. Anyone else having this problem?

Also, my 3G keeps going back and forth to 1X, and my signal bars keep popping down to just 2.

Loving Froyo right now, although my Market is a little slow but I think it needs a little time.

The fact that there is a new FACEBOOK app is really awesome to me!!!

I saw that last night. I have not upgraded to the 2.2 release yet and it came down as a regular app update for me. Either way, glad to see Facebook got a facelift. Each new improvement in any app makes Android that much better.

 

[armeddroid]

So..what new and what to do with 2.2?

I would like to know what some of the new features are and what can be done with Froyo.
I def have noticed a speed increase. I know that Flash can be DL but I have yet to grab it the file.
O also am hearing that Flash isn't all that so..
Anyone?

Haven't played with it much. Don't care about the new launcher since I use Helix anyway. Yes, Flash is not all that, but you have to install it simply because the iPhone can't. lol If you can't find it in the market (some can, but I can't):

The app Adobe Flash Showcase has links to many Flash-enabled sites.

True that. Lol
Still navigating around and seeing what else. But not sure what else to look for aside from what I am accustomed to using.
Thanks for the file, tho.
Prrreciate it. Heh.

Websites load super fast and the stop button shows when you press a link instead of the bookmark button

This was what I noticed the most.
Speed on the internet is much quicker. Idk about the stop button vs bookmark tho. Good deal.

Did my thread merge? Lol Ahh k.
Anyways, I installed Flash, and watched an episode of Neighbours From Hell on TBS.com.. it was aight. Still choppy but cool to see work.
I played a game called Warzone Tower Defense.. and it was hard as hell to navigate in it.
Gonna jump on Skyfire next to see if there is anything new with it.

Did ESPN always play videos on the main page? Cause unless Flash is the reason, I can see videos, reports, play of the day etc on the homepage.
Still choppy as hell. Lol

I just want to know if the bootloader is changed in case I want to go back to the ROM I was using before.

bootloader is good - already flashed specovery to do a system dump

Sweet. Now comes the million dollar question... When will I get notified of the OTA update? Yeah I know I could download it and install, but I want to wait for the notification of the OTA and do it that way.

I don't have a rooted or hacked phone and I'm not even sure what rooted means. So I will wait patiently for the factory authorized 2.2 release. But it's getting exciting to here all the chatter about it and I can't wait to get my update. Watching Hulu while I'm at the pool or gym sounds good to me.

 

[tjs]

yes , thats what I get also.
Didn't know I would have to pay more.

Loaded it up with no issues. Played with all of my standard apps and all worked fine with the exception of wireless tether. Was at bb v0.4 with wireless tether working so just went back until bb v0.5 comes out. Did not discover any thing new on the new release that I did not already have and was using on bb v0.4 . Nice job though Pete. Definetly up to your standard.

For most people it will probably be on either 6th, 7th or 8th.

i forced it from the update.zip thats posted over @ androidf.

pretty nice update, feels major. 5 home screens, rotate allowed in both directions, but cant get used to the ringer modes .... its either vibrate or silent, cant easily pixk either with the volume rocker, have to go to settings....

overall i like

wats the story with flash, is it baked in or must i add via the market ?
