Froyo

Good reminder. There will be a VERY slow period as the thing first sets up, syncs and does all that housekeeping work.

And as noted, you will see the Droid eye for a LONG time.

Relax, be patient, let it do its stuff. It will be MUCH better soon.

Umm, yeah, anti virus on a Linux-based phone - not really necessary. IDGAF what anyone else says.

Others are reporting the same - it may be that Skype is not set to show for hte official build for whatever reason, it is a server side thing, so hold tight until it gets updated....

I downloaded and installed FRG01B from the link provided, it installed quickly, and booted up. However, I can't get flash to show up on my market. I have tried a dozen links online all leading back to get.adobe.com/flashplayer and I can see that it tries to route me to the market but I'm getting an error message. "! Not found... The requested item could not be found." Considering the success of apparently every other soul who has tried to do this with the rooted copies, I was wondering if anyone here was having similar trouble with this copy. Also, could anyone shed some light on my issue? Thanks

Apparently, it is no longer in the market, and one presumes Adobe will bring it back up somewhere in the next week or so. They probably didn't expect many of us to "jump the gun" this way.

Actually, was not in the market - it is still in Beta, beta 3 to be exact, so it is not in hte market yet.

If you are talking about what I think you are then long press on an empty part of your home screen, go to widgets then select the "Home Screen tips" widget.

Go to setting > Plug-ins. Set it to On Demand. That way all the annoying adds wont load or any video thumbnails. When you want to use flash, you'll see a green down arrow on the window. Simply click on it and flash will load there. *Update Below*
 
I didn't see you mention skyfire. I don't use it, so my advice may not be pertinent. However, the 2.2 browser is much faster than the 2.1 browser. Give it a try if you haven't yet.
 
I was rooted but I restored my un-rooted copy of 2.1 update 1. The phone works just fine at 2.1 update 1. When I try to perform the 2.2 manual upgrade though, I get:
"assert failed: apply_patch_check....blah blah blah
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(Status 7)

I've cleared data and cache multiple times, downloaded 3 copies of the update.zip, performed hard reset and nothing has worked. This phone is not currently activated as I just got the DX, but I do intend to give this Droid to my son. Any thoughts?

**For anyone who updated to ANDROID 2.2 Froyo and your 3G went out**
I was experiencing this issue and followed the link in this quote, so I decided to experiment. I WAS able to restore 3G service to my phone. 1st. Go to settings>Wireless & networks and turn on airplane mode. Allow your phone to remove all service. 2nd. Turn airplane mode off. I know this sounds silly, but it worked.

Let me know if this works for you
 
I am running stock 2.1 rooted with SPRecovery. No custom ROM installed.
I tried the whiterabbit patch and and when I try to install using SPRecovery the installation aborts with the error "assert failed applying patch check"
After the first failure I re-downloaded both files and tried again. Same error.
I used the following in a DOS prompt to merge the files.
copy /b signed-voles-FRG01B-from-ESE81.e48e48ff.zip+FRG01B-root.zip update.zip
Anyone have any idea why this won't work for me? Is this a problem with the Google file or the whiterabbit file? I don't want to install a ROM because I really don't want to deal with updating all my settings.

Edit:*** Sorry, I see that someone else posted a similar problem a few posts back. I read it. Just forgot it was there.

I put the old stock recovery partition on my site, ripped straight from 2.0.1.
 
How do I set flash 10.1 so it doesn't pull up everything flash on the page. I saw someone say settings-->plugins, but I can't find that anywhere. Suggestions?
 
So this one is a little weird - I apparently have two clock apps on my phone now - one is 2.2 (12KB and doesn't show up in my Downloaded apps) and one is 2.1 (300KB and does show up in Downloaded apps). They seem to have replaced "Alarm Clock" and now take me directly to what would be the media dock screen.

Now I'm not sure which is which in my app tray, but I'm assuming they're in l-to-r order and what I assume is the 12KB 2.2 version is showing everything correctly except the date, which reads "%2$27 %3$27 - %7$27 %8$27, %9$27".

My alarm also went off three hours early and I couldn't turn it off without a battery pull. So that was pretty lame.

No other major issues with 2.2, but is anyone else experiencing this? I only just noticed because of the alarm issue and haven't been able to find anything online.
 
Ok, here's the serious question. Has anyone who is running stock had any success with flash running smoothly? All my videos are super 'jerky' and the video and sound don't sync up. I've tried this on a number of sites, including those in the flash showcase.

Anything I'm missing to optimize it?
