Hey Guys,

Just logged into the LG Mobile Support tool. It is showing update vzd as available. I am downloading now to install
 
It is 2.2.1 (VS740ZVD is SW version) i have already tried the update 20mins ago. x)

Keep in mind we don't have this rooted yet. So update if you wish if your a rooter.
 
I'm having trouble with this can you whip up a step by step to get this working like where we go what we need to download and such?
 
So dots, what crap-ware has Verizon loaded it with? What if any features Froyo are missing? Can you run programs from a SD card? run flash? wi-fi hotspot? Do you have to re install all of your apps?

I don't I'll take the update until it can be rooted, I run to many apps that depend on root.
 
i am also having some trouble. the lgmobile support tool says my phone is disconnected and i have downloaded all the drivers:confused:

Pretty much the same bloat from before, They added 3g mobile hotspot app. And yes you have to subscribe to be able to use the built in tethering. I did a factory reset after installing it and the stock launcher is setup pretty much like our aosp one which makes me wonder how much work lg did or if they just complied the code and set it to verizon's standards and released. :p

The question is, is it better than 2.1? Does it actually run smoother, or does it lag? How about a2sd?

After i did install the update i did a factory reset. So far its performing good and smooth. It feels fast. I do not have any apps that support froyo's apps2sd yet so i cannot test it but id imagine it works.
 
I'm not too sure if it would be better to get the 2.2.1 now, and go through the process of getting my Ally back to stock. I'm just a little worried on how long it might take to get Froyo rooted on our phone.

what I want to know is will the old apps 2 sd work (i know root is needed and therefore its too ealy to tell.)
Also which would be better old or new ap2sd

Yes you can get old apps2sd ways to work in 2.2 (if the rom dev chooses to include it.)

I say 2.2's apps2sd is better as it does not require an ext partion. Instead it makes an .android_secure folder on the sdcard. The problem with 2.2's apps2sd is that the dev has to choose if an app can get install on sdcard or not. There is a work around to get all apps installed on sdcard though.

Well sinse i already have the partition thats not a big deal. Is as you said the rom.s dev included it. For note i am using stock vc with a2sd. So not really a custom rom but i would need to be sure the vcbversion worfks or wait for someone smarter than me to update it for vd

For those that are wondering

People are working on that on irc.

That would be awesome and all but I hope that this thing goes OTA
and then someone makes a one click root app like Z4Root.

Dots what do you think the odds of that happening are?
I mean I would hate to think you could take this update and get stuck.
