Since, from a hardware perspective, the Droid Eris is identical to the Hero (except for the radio ROM, that is), will (or can) the devs here use the Eris release to put together Hero custom ROMs as well? Or am I oversimplifying things? There's lots of talk here about "every custom ROM has bugs", but isn't that because they're based on an early leaked test version of 2.1? If I'm off base, please set me straight!

The eris leak was the first 2.1 leak, but it is Verizon, we already have sprint 2.1 roms, but they also have minors bugs.....

I realize that, but as of yesterday, the Eris ROM is no longer an early leaked version.

That depends on where you look on XDA. Some experienced ROM builders say that all custom ROMs have issues.That's not to say that the release from Verizon won't have issues, too.

Is there a release of this ROM to flash on my Mytouch 3G 32a?
I wanted to test it out and make some modifications to it for educational purposes with my friend.
Also, a cliq too. Would that be possible to flash the same 2.2 ROM for two separate phones or would I need a special one for the two different phones.
Thanks.
Man, not this again. Wait until Android 2.2 gets on a phone officially.
Cyanogen can port it to the g1/mt3g (also the n1 and the droid) but for now all we got is android 2.1
You have to ask another dev to port it to the cliq since the cliq isn't really talked much about on xda.

Thanks for your reply. I'll look into it. But I wasnt looking for a cyanogen release or any other ROM modification release. I wanted the Raw 2.2 file.
Cyanogen won't be releasing anything before its officially released.

That really doesn't make any sense, the hero hasn't had android ported to it, It has had benhams .29 kernel and the now released froyo 2.2 source compiled for it. The only device with 2.2 is the nexus one so if anything it would be ported from that!
I wouldn't expect froyo to be compiled and working on the topaz as a usable os for a long time. The hero can hardly handle it without overclocking.

Bull****, Froyo is designed to be many times faster and as for the rest, there are only minor updates. The only thing i would expect is a BETTER os for topaz and other low-end devices.

Hey All,
I was just wondering if data2ext would be possible for our beloved milestone. Could some devs please take a look at this - http://www.xda-developers.com/android/new-hack-for-desire-and-nexus-one-data2ext/ ?
I hope this will be possible.

I'm going to say no (on Froyo) currently - data2ext seems to requires the same thing that apps2sd (CM) does, and the G.O.T. 2.2.1 leaked SBF doesn't support it.
If you still have 2.1u1/2 from MOTO - then maybe.
So you are saying that the former one is may be compatible but no for the new one ? may be we have to wait for the officiall froyo for this ?

Yes, the 2.1 moto kernel supports it, but the leaked 2.2 moto kernel doesnt. Hopefully the official kernel 2.2 will. So if your phone is still on eclair it could be potted, but I don't think any devs are focused on eclair roms much anymore
The way it's implemented requires ext access from Android. This requires a kernel module which for now does not work in our leaked 2.2.1 based builds. It will probably work when Moto releases the source code for the kernel. As of now, ext access is only on 2.1 based builds.

So will this work with eclair then? (2.1) And if yes, how?

yes, it should work on eclair - if a dev is willing to try to port it.
Can't wait, hope this will get ported so I can mess with it my Milestone.
Tried this on my Droid tonight and had no luck. On my old phone(CDMA HTC Hero200) I was going from 190MB of internal space to around 473MB of internal space. I just tried it tonight on my Droid with all the coding on Better Terminal Emulator Pro and had no luck whatsoever. I am running CM7.1 Stable on my Droid. It's Android 2.3.7 Gingerbread and thats what I had on my Hero as well. I'll keep looking at the coding and everything and see what I can do for us. I'll talk with some guys over in the Hero Forums about it too. There are different types of data2ext versions as well that may be of some use to us.
EDIT: OK,I had an old android app sitting around on my external called swapper.apk. I gave it a try on my droid today as well and had no luck. I used to use that app on my old T-Mobile G1 way back in the day. Thought it MAY work but got nothing,I'm at a loss right now but will keep working on this for everyone!
I haven't been able to mess with my phone a lot, as I have been very busy with TF2.
Recently my phone broke (AGAIN!) so I had to revert it to Stock.
But I was running some hacked-up version of the 2.2 beta. When my new phone comes, I want to be running the 2.2 stock firmware.
Where is the offical 2.2 stock ROM?
No such animal for AT$T, yet.
If I remember correctly, 2.2 was supposed to be out in September. What happened?

Samsung happened...
There was a post around here about carrier/samsung drama, royalties, etc.; no official Samsung 2.2 rom out (though there are a lot of roms which i'd reckon to be way, way better than anything samsung could put out).
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF oh well.
Any good unoffical 2.2 builds?

Plenty of them. Just check in the Dev section and browse all the ROM's. Pretty much all of them are running either 2.2 or 2.2.1. Just find one with the features you want and flash.
My preference is Perception. Runs smooth for me and does everything I need.

There is an official rogers build. Also Cognition 3 and firefly both of which are based on the official rogers build (2.2). Check in android dev section.
I read that it is not a royalty issue it is a carrier issue. The 2.2 for Vibrant is starting to roll out today through Kies, and I read that it was released to T-Mobile in November. But T-mobile had to add their icons and bloatware before release. So ATT is most likely the reason we don't officially have Samsung ATT release. Either all the bloatware like Elcair 2.1 or they just don't care.
Wow, an official 2.2 release from a US carrier! Just found the official statement at http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/Samsung-Vibrant/Samsung-Vibrant-software-upgrade-to-Android-2-2-Froyo-now/td-p/678871.

Problem is thanks to locked bootloader we still have to rely on them for a kernel
Hopefully they'll provide us with a good Froyo kernel with the official release, but we'll never get a true Gingerbread kernel

It doesnt matter anyways. I'm running gingerbread for several days now and it runs flawless. The speed is amazing and the improvement compared to 2.2 is noticeable. You wont be needing a 2.3 kernel. I think the milestone can stay with this. Installing an AOSP Gingerbread + some memory tweaks in open recovery juices the most from this phone. Flash works perfectly! Can it get better than this?
I believe when the minor bugs(mostly unnoticeable) in Gingerbread will be fixed everything is going to be great.
So who cares about motorola anyways?!
may someone kindly explain how is this possible to "run" gingerbread on froyo kernel (as same as it was with froyo running on eclair kernel)?
What exactly do we get by running new OS without new kernel?
What will be better if we would have gingerbread kernel for the gingebread roms?
It would be nice to know why is this, not just how it manifests.
With the froyo leak, a new kernel was released, so there are a lot of ROMs that can replicate froyo performance for real now... and please correct me if i'm wrong but gingerbread is based on the froyo kernel right? so thats why we've already got froyo as well as GB roms for milestone...
if we are lucky end of February, early March official release is to be expected
Yeah froyo will be one your er.. our phone in two weeks.

no, there is some difference in version number
btw people writing things like

"at the end of the march"
are wild guesses, right? or do you have any background info you can share with us?

Official statements are still in the form of Q1 2011...the rest is guessing. I suggest you root your phone and learn how to flash ROMs. Froyo (2.2) is the end of the line for our phone from Mot...but the community already has 2.3 working.

I've already had tried almost every rom available for milestone, I just hope that the official froyo release will bring the devs some better ground to build their roms on, isn't that right? Won't be the official froyo release any better?

You are probably right to a certain extent...the kernel and motor drivers are not release/final. But for all we know, the latest leak is final.
What problems remain for you?
The latest android leak has excellent battery life and performance in CM7 is through the roof...
