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?
Glad it automagically installed all your apps. What I did was then use Titanium Backup to restore the
data for the
apps only batch (not the
apps + system - I don't want to try to restore system data from a 2.1 ROM onto a 2.2 ROM - never know what kind of stupidity is going to occur.
Also, I was able to restore my Blackthemed Swype from Titanium (app and data) flawlessly.
WiFi Tether will not install b/c, well, this ROM has no WiFi tethering capabilities - yet.
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?
If you use the about:config trick to make it sem like you're coming from a desktop, they are gonna have to work overtime to filter
real desktops from
emulated ones, so it may be a while before they can block this trick.
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!
Don't say that - AT&T is already jumping on the "Users don't need unlimited data plans" bandwagon- you'll jinx us!
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
+5
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.
*ChirpChirp
CHIRP!!!!*
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
Don't we all - we're addicts and we know it
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.
Thanks - now it does vibrate at all times without silence, which is how I like it anyway, but I cannot manually select vibrate with silence. Hmmm. I still liked the old method better, where I could select both from the rocker. Still, this is a fantabulous workaround for me, again, thanks!
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).
Mine showed while they were installing - it was trying to install so many apps that I even saw a
download paused message on some of those that were in the queue.
If they weren't showing when you were having them reinstalled, it was probably simply b/c it didn't have the memory at the time to actually show them, as it was trying to asses what was being downloaded, at the same time as downloading said apps
and installing them.
I have seen this in previous ROMs as well - if your DL list is huge (mine has 150+) sometimes absolutely nothing shows, especially if the phone is multi-tasking hard. However, if I just leave the download page up, sometimes (up to 5 minu8tes later once) all of a sudden they show up.
Can I install 2.2 without a computer. I'm rooted and have a rom manager.
You'll have to be able to get the files on your phone, but yes, since they are .ZIP archives, the phone can handle extraction an such. Using a file manager like eStrongs or Astro, it should be a piece of cake.
Getting the file onto your computer may prove to be the hardest part, but the MDW links can be used in your phone (not sure if the Media Fire links can, though.)
Has anyone noticed some lagging in chrome? I believe it might be flash ads using up processor space in the background.
I haven't gotten Chrome to work in 2.2...
Could everyone please post their CPU speed and Linpack Score?

Working on it.
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.
No worries, m8. I found it fastest to just flash SPR then flash CWM back - both were already downloaded to my phone to it took all of 30 seconds total.
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.
Negative - WiFi is not native to FroYo from what I can see. Yet.
LOL yeah, I just figured that out. Last night when I did that and the menu came up, I was like "WTF, why is it trying to add shortcuts to my desktop? Did I miss the icon? " and then I just uninstalled it. I get frustrated easily when I am overtired, and this has been the week from hell.
Redflea - Thanks for that dumbsmack. I needed it.
Now the only thing left to do is figure out why the hell I can't modify framework-res. Not having a transparent statusbar will drive me insane. (Again... overtired the first time I tried.)
Good question. However,
someone has one it cause there is now a black mod for FroYo from BGill over at Android Forums....
and this also means I don't have to be searching forums for froyo anymore, we already got it!
