[Q] Froyo 2.2

So, now that there is a proper update for 2.2
Im wondering if i should remove my rom and update it to the normal one.
Im currently using the gingerbread cappy clone.
Can anyone let me know if 2.2 is much faster (than the 2.2 roms) or has some extra features.
Thanks

What you're calling a "proper update" is only for Rogers and it isn't.

Im sorry, could you clarify what you mean when you say its not a proper update?
And sorry for not saying before, but i bought my captivate from Rogers.

I've read here and elsewhere that the update was through Kies (Samsung) and not an authorized Rogers update and that therefore they are not supporting it.

Hmm, allright, i guess il wait for it then. Thanks

[Q] how to upgrade to andriod 2.2 without using att network?

Hi,
I bought Samsung Captivate in US and now use it in India. I would like to upgrade to android 2.2 official version but am not sure how to do it without using att network.
Would appreciate your help if you can point me to any existing thread or any instructions on how to upgrade.
Thanks,
Vijay

Didn't think there was an "Official" OTA from AT&T. I know Rogers received an update but not AT&T.
If there is you would be able to get it in the Dev forum as I'm sure someone would have created an Odin 1-Click for it.

If you're that anxious to add Froyo, your best bet is to use a port of the Rogers release. I think the latest Cognition has it. Otherwise wait a little longer to see if ATT does release an update and someone will surely create a ROM that you can flash.

Thanks for your response and help. Surprised to know that att has still not launched the froyo version since its' available by Samsung directly.
I am new to this forum and the whole installing custom roms process so appreciate the links.

[Q] Do I have stock firmware installed?

Hi guys,
After messing around with kernels and getting a non responding P1000, I managed to install from Samfirmware, what i believe is stock Gingerbread (Europe).
Everything looks and works fine, but I just want some reassurance that I've downloaded/installed it correctly.
My system details are:
PDA: P1000XXJQ1
PHONE: P1000XXJPZ
CSC: P1000OXAJQ1
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: P1000XXJPZ
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2
Build number: GINGERBREAD.XXJQ1
The only reason I want reassurance is when I connect the tab to Kies, the message "this version cannot be updated" displays.
Is it the fact that this is the latest firmware, and therefore no more updates is available?
Thank you in advance and would be much appreciated and reassuring to get an answer for all you kind people.

If you have a tab that was bought throughg a specific carrier then Kies might not be able to update the firmware.
I have a GTab from Telstra in Australia and using the stock firmware I also get this message. All flashing must be done by either ODIN or HEIMDALL. CWM works so long as I don't need to restock anything....
If you do decide to change roms, make sure you check to see if the bootloaders aren't locked as some of the firmware from samfirmware were found to be resulting in problems...
Cheers...

I had exactly the same message from Kies when I tried to revert back to a stock Gingerbread rom. It seems that there isn't an official Samsung release of GB for Tab P1000 in the UK (if that's where you are) so it doesn't recognise it.
Only way I could get it to detect an official release was with a Froyo ROM.

The JQ1 was released not to Europe, but to Italy.

Yes that's right. Im in the UK. So from what i understand, only way to fully revert back and install Official gingerbread is by reverting than earlier froyo firmware and then connecting Kies thks way, then have it detect and install the newly released gingerbread?

Hi there, yeah i kinda thought the firmware i installed was the Italian release, as the date in Firmware was May, not July when the.official gingerbread was released.

Yep, that's how I understand it. However I probably will not even bother with Samsungs UK GB release as there are much better 3rd party GB options out there already. I'm running BOCA 1.5 and it is so fast - it dosn't have any Samsung apps or TouchWiz, but I haven't missed them.

Ha! Just found the XDA app, makes posting and browsing on here so much easier.
Yeah i would have thought 3rd party options would be better running as they'll omit all the bloatware that comes with the official release. I was just thinking more about the option for the future should i have any reason at all to revert back to legit stock.
There's so many recommendation on which custom Rom to install, i think I'll have to spend some time going through the forums to understand which one will be best for me.
For now, Im gonna stick with this working GB (albeit Italy release) as for now it works and I've not had any problems with doing what i want out of it.

The lastest gb released isn't UK, its for Orange Spain.

[Q] Recommendation

Hey gang. I've got one of the original AT&T Galaxy Tab devices from November 2010. Shortly after I first got it, I rooted the device and installed
Firmware 2.2
Baseband I9000UGJK3
Kernel 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build: FROYO.XWJMI.Roto-JMI-v2
Lately it seems as if the device is running a little sluggish.
What ROM or ROM/KERNEL would you recommend I try next? My daily phone is a CM7 variant on an HTC Inspire 4G. I'm not a fan of MIUI.
Please help, there's so many ROMS now, I'm not sure where to go next

Ooops , overlooked the AT&T thingy Your best bet will be then to read this manual ... It gives specific instructions for the AT&T phones in the 'restocking'part...

[q] need rom

I have a galaxy s which is a carrier of orange but was unlocked. So, could anyone tell which rom would run on it. i installed few roms but they didnt work.

Is the model number i9000? If so any rom in this section will work
May I ask, what rom's did you install and how didn't they work?
Also I'm assuming your new to installing roms, so have a read of this thread.

I am currently using the Vanilla ICS Graduation Edition v 1.2, overall the ROM is solid, and the guy who made it is constantly updating it. If your interested I can send you the download, or you can just visit his thread.
heres the link
