Froyo for galxy 5?

It says this on samfirmware:

''If you come from America don't flash! (Ask for a firmware in the forums)''

Does this apply if you are in Canada also? Also:

Is there a difference between the I5500 and the I5500M? I'm asking because the instructions on samfirmware are for the I5500 and the box for my phone says GT-I5500M. Sorry if it's a silly question

It's offically released but only on certain phones such as the HTC Desire. Apparently it's to be offically released on the Galaxy next month but that's just what I read

I have froyo and it didn't change alot from my old Eclaire version.
NO multitouch and NO flash -> so help
only faster
 
Honestly man I can't remember, it could have been just on a forum like this one. That's why I said "that's just what I read"
 
Upgraded my G5 to Froyo using Odin and the Froyo/2.2. firmware from samfirmware last Friday. Slight problem with force closing com.android.phone fc-ing every other minute this was supposedly caused by a SIM card incompatibility coupled with the fact that I wasn't able to do a factory reset after installing the firmware. Just had to take the SIM out, turn it on, do a factory reset, turn it off, and put the SIM back in.

Has been working fine ever since. Feels a bit more snappier than 2.1 plus it's great that we can finally install to SD.

Question: I've seen people root their G5's running 2.1, has anybody tried rooting their G5 while running 2.2 from samfirmware?
 
Successfully upgraded the phone to Froyo, Reset is a must step to perform, MMS, 3G settings need to redo after refreshed, overall Froyo is great for Galaxy 5
 
hello all guys, it is said that updating to froyo will make our samsung galaxy 5 has capability doing multitouch.

but the truth is, i dont see if its multitouch. i'm now froyo. 2.2. its not multitouch, and im stuck with it.
 
How to make flash player to work? I tried searching in the market, downloading the apk and nothing worked.

When I install with the apk, it says the application is not installed and just give me the option to close the install.

Can someone help with this?
 
Phones with old ARMv6 processors like Galaxy 5, N8 or Droid1 are incapable of running full flash 10.1, hence the development of Flash Lite
 
Same problem with flash and moreover experiencing shortened battery life comparatively. Have 40% battery left and 4 hours later says battery low. Did not have this problem initially when i had installed froyo.
 
Hello,

My friend recently purchased a galaxy 551 which is a galaxy 5 with qwerty keyboard.
He has internet working on it, he can browse all web pages, but he is unable to sign in to the google account or the gmail app.

Since 3G is not available extensively here in India as of now, he is using a EDGE connection.

When trying to sign into google account, the phone says it could not establish a reliable connection to the server....

off topic ...any ideas would be great...

meanwhile trying to sign in through a wifi hotspot.....

thanks

Is GT i5503 upgradable to gingerbread ?
Any One Tell Me ........Plzz
 
That is weird.
I5500XWJK3 is a 2.1 Firmware...
And 2.6.29-perf is also a 2.1 Kernal from what I understand.
The build number I dont recognise...
And the Firmware number being 2.3-Alpha1 is also interesting...

Based on his comments on Youtube he has just done some mods, so still a 2.1 firmware.
 
Yea that is true, its just a mod for 2.1 but multi touch seems to work one way at least and apps 2 sd. Not sure how it is done though.
