Are you clicking the "allow update.zip" option before actually installing it?

I see you're up and running...I take it that the battery pull worked???
Click to expand...

Yeah but there were two update.zips with one saying "depercated" which worked last time so that's the one I tried. I'll try the other one later (I'm getting sleepy... haha.)

I tried the battery pull but it still kept looping so I wiped my data, reinstalled, and voila! :) Thanks for your help!

BTW, I finally got to OC to 800 (which is where I was before) -- SetCPU just wasn't reading my Droid as rooted before. LOL. I'm a n00b.

Cool, glad you got it working :)

As far as the update.zip installation goes...you have to click the one that says "allow" first and then click the one that says "install...depreciated" (I don't remember the exact titles of the options...been awhile since I've used SPR)...but its a 2 step process. Make sense? If you don't click the one that says "allow" first...it WILL fail.

Birdman has released a Froyo ROM...added thread on it...let the competition begin. ;)

He's included flash and one of the P3Droid wifi kernels, among other enhancements.
 
Hey fab, How did you theme launcher pro? I'd appreciate it if you could let us know how you did, By the way love your work man. You inspire many of us to want to make our phones better!

I did a full system wipe twice and cashe wipe once (in Clockwork recovery) before recovering the 2.2 ROM. It asked me for root permissions when I opened Titanium the first time, I allowed it and it says:
"Root access => OK (BusyBox 1.15.3 from app)
Hypershell (FAST) => YES
Fast/Auto app install => YES (using HyperShell)
SQLite => YES (SQLite 3.6.22 from system)"

It actually restored most of my apps on my first attempt even though it froze and re-booted. It doesn't seem to be doing a full hard reboot (it doesn't shot the Moto logo, just the Droid Eye animation for about 20-30 secs before returning to the lock screen) so I dunno wtf it's doing. I might just try to do a full wipe and reinstall to try again if I can't figure this out tonight.



Opps, just caught this post for some reason. Thanks a lot for the help! I was only trying to do apps (without data first), not system data. I did notice though that as soon as I finished setting up with Froyo (after a full system wipe/factory reset in Clockwork), the market was trying to install like 6 different apps at the same time (didn't seem to have anything in common with each other, just random apps). So I canceled them all and that's when I tried to restore with titanium. I'm about to restore my previous ROM (NexBeast v1.0.1) to check those settings though and try again. Hopefully this time it works as you told me to do. Edit: Yeah, Automatic restore isn't an option in 2.1, but I already had "back up my settings" checked in my previous ROM, so I guess 2.2 is going to automatically restore those settings for me. What settings does this entail, anyways?


Also, can anyone point me toward a good Titanium guide? I'm not sure which portions of system data to restore to get all my system settings back. Some of it seems to have came back magically somehow, such as my wifi profiles, call logs, and background wallpaper that I've noticed so far. Some of which was there before I even attempted the titanium restore. I'm afraid to use Titanium now for fear that I'm going to corrupt the OS and cause major instabilities like I'm experiencing now (I'm getting constant launcher FCs now, which started right after AdFree asked me for root permissions, so I guess I'll have to do a full wipe/reinstall now :().

Wow, this is amazing. I just tried installing 2.2 again and after putting in my info at my first boot up, it seems like I won't even need Titanium to restore my apps (but I might still need it for app data). After giving it my google account info, it's automatically installing all apps I had installed from the market. I couldn't tell at first, because it's not listing them in the downloads section of the market, but my apps are appearing in my app drawer without me doing a damn thing. I'm guessing ADW launcher isn't going to work on 2.2, is it? I'm not sure if Titanium backed it up with my full backup or not cuz I can't find it on the backup list anywhere so I'm guessing it's named something weird.

I would still like some help knowing if I should need to restore any system data with Titanium or not. It seems Google is restoring all the important stuff, but I'm not sure if I'll have to restore anything it misses when it's all done syncing. Thanks for all the help so far guys.

Fab, I am awaiting NexBeast on 2.2 now ;).

Edit: Seems as if I've found some incompatible apps; WiFi tether and Swype. Has anyone else experienced this yet? When I try to restore them in Titanium, it soft reboots (shows the Droid animation for like 15 secs and am back at lock screen).

Edit 2: I had to manually install the .apk for these then restore data through Titanium for some reason, anyone else seen this?
 
Thanks on the call for the widget player on Hulu whoever caught it! Works great, nice and smooth.
First, what is the point of the widget? Fast access from a desktop? Also, how long before Hulu finds out and blocks our access? :rolleyes:
 
Ah, sweet Hulu on my phone, Verizon is surely going to regret that unlimited data plan for as long as that hole in Hulu's security exists!

After moving to this rom at work this evening using only my droid with no computer I think after all that work I'm sticking with this....


That is until Pete comes up with something :)

I thought I was the only one desperate enough to download it on my phone (even worse, using 3G instead of wifi!) And now I have this image of all of us, Droids in hand sitting like little baby birds in a nest with our mouths opening wide to encourage Pete to regurgitate a 2.2 BB. Hmm....that is actually less disgusting in my head than it looks when written down.

haha.. i even told my wife over the phone that i couldnt wait to get home and flash everything over but damn, i needed it :)

It actually does bother me - I like having the option to silence the phone without having to turn the damned thing off....Besides, it has these pretty pretty lights on the front so I can silence it and still be somewhat aware of what is going on....

Not sure you got this answered. Settings>Sound> Change Vibrate to Only when not in silent mode. Check the Silent Mode box (silence all sounds except media and alarms) and rocker switch now has Silent.
 
johnlgalt said:
Nope, all mine are showing. Did you use the Market fix from Titanium Backup after restoring? Because my phone automagically restored its own apps without my intervention - I only had to use TiBu for the 4 apps that didn't come from the market.
Click to expand...
Thanks. I did not use the market fix tool in TB.

Oddly enough, I uninstalled one app and reinstalled it, to see if it would show itself in the downloads, when suddenly, all my apps appeared in the market (sync was on).
 
Has anyone noticed some lagging in chrome? I believe it might be flash ads using up processor space in the background.
 
Ok guys, I have to apologize.

I installed this within about 10 minutes of Fab posting the link, and I had both the Titanium problem and the CW Recovery problem and figured out the fixes myself because they hadn't been reported yet. I apologize for not thinking ahead and letting the rest of the community know about this problems and the fixes for them.

Incidentally, I found that a faster fix for the CW Recovery problem is to flash an OLD version of CW Recovery, then re-flash the current one, you don't even have to reboot and it works very well.

Sorry for not letting everyone know. I was a noob such a short time ago, I take it for advantage that if I figure it out, everyone else will.
 
yeah i would like to know if you can save the apps to the sd card as well. ALso i remember hearing you can move exsisting apps from phone memory to sd card too. Can we do this with this 2.2 rom

as long as the developer of the app has enabled it app2sd works fine. JIT runs flawless for me

thats great, im trying to convice myself to try this out with the stock cpu speed or the 600mhz kernel as long as wifi works. plus i gotta root the thing first.

if JI is working, why are the MFLOPS so low compared to the N1? i thought it would be in the low 30's for us

cause the N1 has more ram
 
4. Nandroid, Advanced Restore, select the folder
5. Restore it
6. Reboot into delicious Froyo
Click to expand...

When I select the folder, it gives me several options, Restore system, Restore boot and others, which are we supposed to select?
 
Is there an overclocked kernel with wireless tethering?

The native USB tethering works fine, but I thought the hotspot wireless tethering was also part of the native Froyo.

Biggest joy for me with Froyo is the "update all" feature in the app market.
