Does anyone know when the official froyo release from Samsung is coming out to north America?
on a Samsung Galaxy S.
He's new he doesn't know.
at OP; Try not to post these kinds of threads because people here can get pissed off EASILY.
a Froyo 2.2 update is unknown for us currently, but most people suggest you use a custom ROM after rooting since we already have Froyo on here.
Hey, at least he didn't ask in the Developer sections! To me, thats a complete win!
In addition to what xriderx66 said, you can also find Tmobile and Samsung on Twitter and can ask the question directly from the source.
I wouldn't put much stock in it since according to one of their posts from earlier in the year, they now only have 5 days left to get Froyo to carriers.
Truthfully though, it's anyones guess if/when it's actually going to happen & I"m sure even Samsung doesn't even have a clue.
Since we have some decent leaked ROMs, I'd prefer for them to just drop froyo completely and get Ginerbread working since it has some improvements that will help the Hummingbird processor (as seen by the performance of the Nexus S).
At the very least if they started working on it, we'd eventually get some leaked Gingerbread ROMs

one reason I THINK that theres a BIG delay in the froyo update is JIT optimization for hummingbird. since google already optimized JIT in 2.3, i'm figuring Sammy could be finding a way to make it backwards compatible with their touchwiz froyo.
OR
samsung tweaking the froyo update for tmobiles approval
as far as having froyo by the end of the year, i would LOVE to be shown an official samsung document that actually says US carriers will have froyo before years end. the only thing i've seen does not mention Tmobile US Vibrant specifically.
Guys, sorry for the question. Ill make sure not to post anything before reading posts LOL. For those who responded to the topic, thank you! That's what I thought about the update, I'm almost selling my vibrant and maybe go with something else like the mytouch 4g or the nexus s.

i SUGGEST you stick with vibrant the only thing wrong with it is the GPS(works for most people now anyways theres a fix) and the update, which there ARE custom roms.
but if you MUST get a new phone, get a nexus S.
the mytouch is just.. horrible.
Thanks for the advice. My phone is rooted, but I don't have a custom rom installed. What 2.2 rom do you suggest?
on a Samsung Galaxy S.
Nero V3 is a very good and stable ROM imho. They are all very good in their own way, but I loving Nero right now!
here's a better question:
why does it take the manufacturers months and months for any form of update, while developers here release something new daily?

Because theirs goes through tests, go through carriers, and usually has about no major bugs.
The devs use roms made by The manufacturers...
Don't make fun of manufacturers their the reason your phone exists.
At op
try one of these most popular and fast roms.
Axura
Ginger clone
Or
Nero

go with nero it wont disappoint! im in love with it, it gets amazing battery life! 10+ hours on moderate use! and also its blazing fast!
Xrider, I know you are just a kid... But you've told people to shut up twice in this thread. Santa not bring you what you asked for? Bad joke.. Just saying let's try and be respectful.
I agree with the others, just flash nero v3.

Thsts good news cant eait just picked this bad boy up and cant eait to put froyo on it
It's not a final release. Looks like it's some sort of alpha build that was leaked.
Most probably full of glitches. I'll wait for the final OTA update.
so tomorrow we should all have froyo?
No, it just means that Europe has Android 2.2! Not N.A. yet. =[
I intend to wait for an OTA update to 2.2. I would honestly recommend everyone else do the same as well. I am sure the firmware might be safe but you never know what else could be on it. Either way, if 2.2 is actually this close, this is great news to hear.
I am sure everyone here is smart enough to realize that is not an official samsung twitter account. You can just easily tell from the terrible avatar and named used yet alone the url of the site they link to is actually hosted at the free hosting service Webs.
I agree with above. I wouldn't jump the gun on this one just yet.
its not An official Blog or Site.......
And For Samsung to provide an update this Quick would be a miracle. so Im not buying it and im sure once the clock hits 12, you can either Flame me or Thank me for not putting your Hopes up)))))))))))
hopefully soon enough!

Agreed. I'll believe it when I see it.
That twitter account is so full of $hit.
It said the linpack score was 14.6, that is insanely low for froyo and the specs of the Vibrant. It should be around 40. Hell stock eclair is 8.4 or so.
Put NO FAITH IN THIS TWITTER ACCOUNT.

I have no idea. But, this site does seem to have all firmwares. Euro only though so it seems.
I havent seen any stock firmwares for the US versions. So *shrug* I dont believe it.
Yeah, the Nexus One running Froyo gets a Linpack score of 37.
The Galaxy S devices will score higher due to their better processor.
So, a Linpack score of around 14? Lies.

This website has been around for a while now, and they do alot of work in EU so odds are it is real, and france said it was going to realease a froyo update in sept for sure, so this is just a RC1 or something, I have been flashing beta's all my smartphone owning days...so i will most likely do a nandroid and flash this froyo even if it's pre-alpha...weeeee!!!! sounds fun! as long as i don't have to use odin..and i can just reflash my nandroid save...i'm good

And then when you put into perspective the amount of indy java VM writing companys that might come around and do crazy speed ups to java with custom build dalvik java virtual machines it even more excite..but they won't release them to the general public and i don't think big companies are gunna bite..i hope google just like them and buys them whoever they are..
I agree with the earlier post...if this build reaches no more than 14 Mflops...I'd be willing to bet it is nothing more than one of the previous galaxy roms with spoofed info and just the frozen eclair files built in. Because as it stands that will get you from 12 to 14 Mflops. Real froyo on the vibrant should put out more than 14 Mflops, even if it is a test build or not, I'd be willing to say. But we will find out pretty soon I guess...

the firmware they claim they have they got from a directory on the samsung website, its not officially released.
:-( If there was even a slight hint of hope regarding custom kernels and full bootloader unlock (without losing 4G), I know the devs would have already said so. Come September 16th, I'm getting the SGSII and my MoPho will be handed down to my son. Still a GREAT phone but development for it is still much to be desired. Want to flame? Go ahead, feel free. Still won't change the grim reality.

I came from the 3-d and wow, your right not much going on here. I am going to stick it out a while longer though and see if anything starts to burst.
Sadly...
I am starting to think that this may be as good as it gets.
Just run launcher 7 and pretend you're actually running wp7; thats why i do
This phone stock is the best experience ive EVER had on a stock phone. Im happy!
Ok thanks?

i warned yall that once teh sgs2 drops it will get even slower around these parts, shame too cuz this is a really nice phone.. just piss poor timing on sprints part.. not a huge surprise really coming from them. hell they had announced teh epic and sent it out to everyone and it wasnt until reviews came out that they threw up an ad having it alongside the evo
After owning the EVO all of last year I got over needing to flash a new ROM every few days. Stock is running so well for me I don't really care. We will get AOSP ported it will just be a matter of time. I would be tickled if MIUI got ported thereafter.
Once android.git.kernel.org comes back online I'm going to start porting CyanogenMod lol... I can't do any development if I can't get source code. And I'm not paying $200 for a new phone when the MoPho was only $100 and has >= specs.
Shut the hell up with all this complaining will get you know were in life. Suck it up and learn to be patient.. they will come..

Wow the Photon source code just got released last week on 8/30 and you are complaining about not having development done on the Photon? You must not have done development before because it takes lots of time and effort to test out all bugs. Also I would say 95% of the devs that do this are not doing this full time for a living but rather on their free time. Also the Photon has made huge progress without the source code in its first month including 1) root with docking station 2) root without docking station 3) unlocked bootloader when the stock bootloader is locked. What more do you expect right now.
Just be patient and wait a couple more weeks for things to come up. If you want to get the SGSII because you think all of a sudden there will be more support then be my guest. There is no secret that the devs need the source code before they can modify anything. With the SGSII coming out it'll be a while before the source code is released. You'll see how foolish this is.

I remember when you attempted to port webos to hero lol. I ran your roms on my heroc; you're a great dev man!! I hope you can do what you did on my heroc to the photon...
Every time I get a new phone, the first thing I do is install GoSMS, GoLauncher, and GoDialer. With this phone the only non blur app I use is GoLauncher. And the only reason I use it is because I like my app drawer organized into folders, and a 5x6 grid layout. This phone is as close to perfect out of the box as I thought was possible. And everything I don't like, they have an app to change. Just my 2 cents.

Coming from the Evo-shift... this is blazing fast. I'm having trouble keeping up. We didn't get root for at least a full month.
We better settle for enjoying the stock experience.
This phone will be the red headed stepchild. I like the stock experience, sans the bugs. We should accept it or get something else.

People like you are going to chase development away. They do this for a hobby. Not to please you. Who wants to work hard in their free time just to be complained about, rushed for eta's. Help out, not sit there and rush people so you can leach off there hard work. I hope you get your epic touch..... Good riddance.

You pay a lot of money for your phone plan (as do we all) so you should have a device you are happy with. If that is the SGS2, than go for it.

Would be nice to know. Wish peeps would just check in from time to time just to let us know they are still around.
I have no clue why or who ever in Samsung development messed this up, but when you stream flash videos in full screen the notification does not auto hide. To me this is completely unacceptable as it ruins the possibility of "full screen" and it can actually damage the oled in these phones.
I think this fix should be a MUST for any developer currently making rooms for this phone. The only from currently that I know of that fixes it is Cyanogen.. but I do want a stable ICS and oh boy can't we all dream of a perfect aosp from... dreams of super fast clean friendly user experience...

Why be a dev if your goal is half ass roms? The only thing I'm wondering is why has this not been addressed by the community? Why is this still "OK" and why are trolls immediately the only ones present in this forum?

AS said above, it looks like your are running ICS which is in beta and has not been officially released, you are complaining about an unfinished, unofficially released BETA rom.
You may need some time of reflection and a lot of reading to understand what you are doing......
Why be a dev if your goal is half ass roms?
You answer your question yourself why build a rom based on a half assed buggy beta release .
Put in a very simple way . Why waste time on a buggy beta build that may be very different come release day .
When ICS is released and if a dev thinks its worth fixing your problem i am sure they will .
jje
OK it sounds like no one understood , I will attempt to explain this better. This is NOT an ICS problem this problem is with EVERY rom including stock update strait from Kies. I went as far as contacting Samsung to get a fix, but as you can see in my profile I live in the US and the US Samsung will not help me with my UK phone. Why everything between us is so divided beats me but still the issue remains.
As I stated currently the only rom that fixes it is Cyanogen but just as JJ stated why use a buggy beta when the release will be much different/better. Also I am currently running ICS and have not encountered a single bug. Everything works perfect except for Samsung's stupid attempt to burn in my screen. I don't know about everyone else but I paid $580 for this phone and the last thing I want is a permanent" 3g" on my screen...

Then give us more information. Saying that streaming videos don't go full screen is no where near enough. What ROM, website, browser etc are you using because the last time I tried this (Not long after the S2 was released) it worked just fine. I tried a 720p video from megaupload and it went full screen just fine. Same with youtube/youtube app. Give more information, not attitude. Also, i'd wager than there is zero chance of your display burning in a 3G icon. Perhaps the full notification bar if you use MIUI/a white or light theme but I highly doubt the majority of people will experience any burn in, never mind such a small specific burn in.
Fair enough.. more info. I usually run completely stock and decided to play around with ics. A main site I stream with is twitch.TV (I am a big starcraft2 player and use the pro streams to get better) while I'm at work I watch for hours sometimes 7 hours straight. This WILL cause burn in.
When the problem occurs:
Watching ANY true flash video online(not YouTube app) while in full screen mode in any browser or Rom besides cyanogen.
If you don't believe me test it yourself. Go to twitch.TV pick a stream let the video load and click the full screen button. If you have a rom that the notification bar disappears let me know and you won't hear.me "moan" anymore.
Or maybe one of you super nice Brits can call UK Samsung and get an official fix. The number is 08702420303.

Download the diff, check for relevant changes (there's not many for fullscreen) and mod your own browser. Before you ask, I'm not going to hold your hand on this one, and am not willing to do it for you either (I don't use an ICS ROM).
Not asking for any hand holding or hand outs for that matter.. one last question can it be done completely from the phone?
Actually nvm that browser mod will not work with ics. Even states in that post "should be comparable with 2.3.x roms.

Sure it will, you just have to be willing to put in some work. Namely, as I already said, downloading the diff, checking for relevant changes (I think there's only two changes relating to full screen) and getting them into your Browser.apk. You're probably going to need to do some reading.

I'm going to make a guess you won't bother with this.
I used mobile odin to install the att stock ics and now my phone will not charge.
I get the lighting bolt symbol but there is no animation and the phone will not charge the battery. Nothing has changed on the hardware end and what used to be no problem is now a pita.
Anyone have a soloution and running into this?
Yesterday after I flashed, I charged my phone for an hour and the % stayed the same. It seemed to get better later on (Although I shutdown to charge) but I haven't tried charging since.
I've been running it since last night (also used Mobile Odin) but haven't had any issues charging. I've had it connected to a wall charger, USB cable, and an external battery thing from Monoprice - all have worked great.
Could possibly be a bad flash or something random like that.
I also used the Mobile Odin method and have not had any issues with charging using wall charger or usb. I also noticed that there is no charging animation, just the lightening bolt. Maybe you had a bad flash?
I got it working after turning it off and taking the battery out.

Given some glaring bugs in this build (battery stats FC and repeating alarms don't work), I don't think this is the final build of ICS for us. But it is supprisingly stable build. I have no problem use it as my daily driver.
Plus the fact that now we have screen display mode options in settings reinforces my belief that AT&T hasn't had a chance to water down this build yet

Thanks for this! It worked for me although I think I'm going to try an ICS rom instead.
Another point of fact, what we have was released by Samsung and it was not specifically for this phone. AT$T had nothing to do with it. Stable is a pipe dream until there is an official AT$T i777 release. Calling this 'stock AT$T ICS' is misleading. The devs here are great, but it has only been a week since source dropped.
No, UCLC2 leaked here is specifically for AT&T I777 with all AT&T bloatware in tow. It is not some kind of I9100 transplant

someone needs to check their facts... yes, samsung built it but it was built for the i777 specifically, Not another phone. And I'm sure AT&T had something to do with it considering their bloat was already on it. I'm sure it's also one of the builds they are testing.
You also have been telling people there is no real ICS, well what do you consider real ics? One that's officially pushed out by AT&T? the version with a UI overlay, and bloat? real ICS? haha Real ICS is AOSP IMO. Pure android, not crap the carriers push out.
It has only been about a week since source dropped but already the development on AOSP roms like cm9 and aokp is going well. There are a few bugs but nothing major (depending on your needs) I dont mind waiting for video capture to work on AOSP as I never use my video cam on my phone anyway. I do use netflix and crackle but not having them work at this moment is not enough reason not to use it. I'm actually really impressed how stable these roms are considering source dropped a week ago. A deal breaker for me is calls not working, buttons not working, wifi and gps not working.. everything else I could pretty much live with until it gets sorted out
What I said was there's no real ICS for our phones, meaning what we have right now is someone elses cobbled together i9100 port of ICS, not an official AT$T release of ICS for the i777. A leak is not an official release, BTW.
This forum has suddenly exploded with posts of people having issues because they are in too big a hurry to try something that is still not quite ready and/or they do not know what they are doing. It is overwhelming the forum with ICS issues and we don't even have a true ICS version yet. There should be a single thread in Dev for each of these ported ROMs where early adopters can look for help instead of clogging up General and Q&A with all this BS. I think all the ICS threads confuse people into thinking there is an actual release instead of just these ported ROMs and makes them try something they shouldn't. Just sayin'.

No one is claiming that UCLC2 is official release of ICS but it certainly is not an i9100 port. It is an early build by Samsung specifically for i777 and leaked. Read.
Just putting this out there, the battery life off my ICS was initially horrible.
After resetting the phone I have 91% battery after 9hrs off charge, have not been doing a lot granted but that is still pretty damn good.
I think the main problem with the leak was that it included a boot loader and people that installed it lost root and cwm.
It wasn't until task and others cleaned it up and removed the boot loader that it really became more user friendly.
Personally I waited for the CM9 official nightlies for our model to start a few days ago before jumping on ICS. I really liked touchwiz until I tried CM7. Not sure if I would ever go back now to be honest.

As many of us Captivate owners learned, these 'leaks' are rarely more than just Samsung's way to get over-eager users to do much of their debugging for them. Gotta love the early adopters.

I'm certainly very happy with the Captivate GB leak running on my phone back in Aug 2011. The official GB release didn't come until Feb 2012, long after I sold my Captivate. So, ultimately it is up to individuals to decide whether or not to install leaked ROMs. It's more benefits than hassles. I don't think we will see official release until the end of 2012 or even 2013. I don't think I will still be using my SGS2 after this summer.

Apparently not judging from all the ICS help me threads.

Actually, it has been rather quiet comparing to the crying help for bricked phones by flashing non-i777 ROMs. All they complain are not be able to root etc.

I don't want to abandon the custom ROMs and Android but this is getting too time consuming and causing problems. This is my final request for some solutions.

I don't quite understand. You don't have to flash, customize, or tinker with your phone at all. How much time you spend doing this is up to you. The phone works fine out of the box which is what you'll get with iPhone. If you want to get rid of bloat, then root it and remove the stuff you don't want.

Solution might be to find a ROM and stay with it, keep in mind flashing and or using custom ROMs are not for everyone, if you enjoy learning and bettering your knowledge and device well then it's the ticket for you, but if you find things are not working for you and you have hard time understanding, then maybe flashing custom ROMs are not your game...
There is nothing wrong with staying Stock and or Stock straight out of the box, as stated some have found that best for them.
Thank You.
Just go with iPhone we done anybody waffling back and forth. Goodbye!

I would never consider an iPhone as an option...
That being said, I have always had issues with Paranoid Android... either on my Note and on my Nexus S. I would suggest the ROM in my signature. I love it. Lots of features, stable and smooth. But in the end, everyone tries many ROMs before settling one one that works best for them. Happy flashing!
I'll give a bunny to anyone that helps.

I really don't want to get an iPhone again. I got rid of the 4S 64GB factory unlocked. It's like an ipod with some phone functionality, meaning I cant use it for much. I have Tmobile and this particular phone for various reasons and the root is very necessary.
I would prefer someone help. It's obvious something I'm flashing or how I am flashing it is borking the phones. Most likely the latter.
Wipe cache, wipe system, wipe Dalvik before flashing. Or follow the instructions on the ROM page's first few posts.
Bye crapple
@dubsteps what signature? There isn't one showing on your posts.

Drama queen. No one told you that you need to flash ROMs. Get the iPhone and please go "complain" on the iPhone forums. Roms are free and devs are taking their "own" time out of their personal lives to make em. If you can't be thankful, you don't deserve to be here.

No way I'd ever go to an iPhone again. I don't like being told what I am allowed to do with something I bought. Don't get me started on that though. IPhone is what you use until you know better, kinda like people used to use AOL until they learned more about the internet. We have several nice ROMs to pick from

I don't know. I've flashed a number of the ROMs on here. I just followed the directions as stated and haven't had any issues. Maybe it's cause you're on t-mobile.

I got the old one on stock rom stock recovery. Its the same, very unresponsive. It takes 5 minutes just to set the language on the att start screens. The other phone is balking at connections with odin, im trying to put in only a bootloader and its got a green bar but the big area says BOOT is not changing color yet, like its at the last step and it stopped. Its odin 1.85 since the newer ones seemed worse.
edit:
I got the old phone going, I think its fixed! I flashed the stock rom via odin thats on the forums. I used stock recovery to clear a couple caches. Then flashed cwm standard, from march or so, I used it to clear everything possible except sd card which was recently formatted as well but it has roms now. I flashed a nice safe collective mesosphere seraphim ics rom and its snappy and responsive. I think there is something wrong with some newer things, I dont know what, but I had no problems before I started with JB. fyi, bricking two phones is not normal for me.
The new phone wont talk to odin so it'll sit for a minute.
Going no where with this, so...
