Well this is a question for any of the test releases I guess... Can I perform an in place upgrade from 5.0.8-test3 (current test release) to the production release once it's out?
I just about got my FRF50 stock to the way I like it and I always dread wiping all and starting over (installing all my market apps, config home screen, wifi access points, etc). If I have to do for test3 that's ok, I really would like to avoid having to do it again once 5.0.8 comes out...
I know - I could always just wait but I keep hearing good things (+ 720p recording now) , even with the "test" release and want to check it out...
PS - Is 5.0.8-test2 based on the leaked FRF50 or is it still 2.1?

Thanks for the quick reply. I remember now - 2.2 was going to be represented in the CM 6.x releases - 5.x will be 2.1
I'll wait for CM 6.0

Since 1 or 2 days flash 10.1 is in final state so not BETA anymore (at least that is what 9/10 tech sites is telling) but why i see still beta 3 in market and can't find any APK of the final release on the interweb
Are you referring to the desktop version of flash 10.1?
Its not there because we don't have the final froyo build. Just wait a little.
I know it hurts, but there's nothing else we can do.

Nope search google: "android flash 10.1 final"
Ah didn't understand that it will only work @ official froyo 2.2! Hope it will leak earlier, pretty sure it will run perfect on pre-froyo build we use @ the moment
Odds of there being any useful difference between beta-3 and the final release is virtually nil. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.
I'd much rather have FroYo final.
Rather have both And now (official) Froyo is holding us from the final flash release :S
Wonder if its gonna have hardware acceleration.
I assume that is why it needs the official 2.2
No offcial 2.2 shows BETA 3 in market too!!!

Ion seems pretty old, any reason in particular you are using ion, when everything works in donut, and most things in eclair or froyo?

I'm glad you continued this rom. Keep up the good work.

Well I'm not sure who to give the credit to, but I love this build so much it has become my daily driver.
Pair this up with the 7-2 .nbh and you've got a build where everything works and works snappily. (Is that a word?)
Kudos to all involved.

I tried to bring in the market apk from Myn's Warm Donut, but since this is an Odex-ed build it didn't work. I may give it another try, though.
I've been using Incubus' Froyo for a while now, and was using Release 13
I backed up all my stuff and dumped my data to an img so I could always go back if necessary
Loaded up this RLS 3 of the HTC Ion build - wow... FAST
Nice ROM - good stability - everything works.
Upgraded to latest Google maps - its working no issues
Market seems to work fine, no issues
I also seem to get better signal on the phone with this Ion build than I did with Froyo
Any new updates planned on this?
Unless something really Astonishing or cool happens with a newer Foryo build,
I'm thinking that I'll be sticking with this HTC Ion build for the Vogue
Thanks to all the people that worked on this one!

Yes - Sprint network - HTC Vogue
http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/voguimg-320x480-02-07-10.nbh
is the image I downloaded and flashed
Either of these should work - depending on what resolution you want:
voguimg-320x480-02-07-10.nbh
voguimg-320x428-02-07-10.nbh
voguimg-240x320-02-07-10.nbh
I find the 320x480 to work quite well
Used Rogue Tools - set to 500mhz OC and also 160 DPI
this is a nice rom.. thanks to 'does_it_matter' i've been checking it out...
in froyo i was able to 1-second press the 'camera' button and it would act as the 'home' action and return you to home screen.
what is the 'home' screen button for this rom as that same action does not appear to work here...?
THANKS!

Can I ask how do you backup all your OS release? Can I do this if I am running haret with a partitioned card? ie: Backup all 3 partitions so I can reinstall easily?
Stupid pills here today, I can't figure out how to add more screens? I only got the 1 Home screen
NM, I just had to use my Pointer to swipe to screen

When you boot the phone, hold the center d-pad
Choose Backup data - and you can backup the data partition
it backs up to the Andboot folder and is 256MB in size so have the space available!
That way, I can just reload a Froyo Release, then re-load the data.img and I am back where I started!
I also backup all my contacts/sms to google

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.

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?

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.

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.

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...
