[Q] so who all stayed with Froyo and who did what?

so with the leaked release of froyo coming out last night. I had a hell of a time getting froyo on my phone. So just out of curiousity who stayed with froyo, downgraded back to cog or waiting for a cogged release of froyo?

waiting for cog 2.2 to check out froyo, thats how much I like having it

I wasn't running cognition to begin with, but I am sticking with froyo.

I just flashed froyo a little while ago and all seems well. I'm definitely going to keep it. I had froyo on my g1, and didnt realize how much i missed i was stuck on 2.1 with a new captivate. But the lock screen is killing me, you have to pull the screen wayyy to far!

Flashed it as soon as the multi upload link was posted. Do far no deal breakers for me. Got it rooted, side loading enabled and everything setup to be my daily driver.
I wish they'd just release the damn kernel so the people smarter than me can really get cooking on some ROMs.

I flashed to 2.2, and it is working amazing. I would never think about going back to 2.1, even though I am not smart enough to root it without the other people making it easy, which they have not done yet lol

With the leaked JI6 Froyo being so stable, I plan on sticking with it until an official release is made.

Does anyone know how to get apps that aren't showing up in the market to show up?
I flashed to froyo today and I like it. I think I'm staying with it. It has too many improvements to give up. It may start getting ported to us by at&t real soon anyway.

I flashed this afternoon.. after having some difficulty (mostly my stupidity for not disabling voodoo lagfix from Cognition) am running Froyo. I've noticed a little lag here and there but used Ryan's one click and it helped somewhat. Sofar it's amazing, havent tested GPS though. I've gotten Chrome to Phone and it works great as well as being able to play Flash. So far nothing to complain about.

I posted over in the COG thread, but I tried Froyo for a day and then flashed back to stock and then back to COG 2.1.6 w/Atinm's Voodoo kernel. I loved the GPS performance in 2.2 (after I switched to supl.google.com), but everything else is so much more polished in the current COG (as expected). I'm looking forward to the progress that is inevitably coming with Froyo though and more than likely will flash to it again soon.

Sticking with it although I cannot keep all the contracts out of the list SIM, Google and Phone contacts all load......I decided to delete SIM and Phone and keep Google contacts.
Its a keeper though. No need to root the phones yet I have everything I need.

Leaky Froyo beats crappy Eclair any day. It will be fun to see how AT&T cripples the new rom.

I went with Froyo and have not found any show stoppers at this point, so it looks like I will be staying with it.

I went with 2.2 and have stuck with it. I'm not having any issues other than the contacts list thing and its not that big of a deal to me. Ill go with COG 2.2 when he gets all the bugs worked out with a clockwork or odin install.

Never tried cognition Roms, but the leaked build seems to be 100% fully functional. Haven't had any issues, I'll be staying with it until the official release and rooting etc gets as easy at eclair build.

[Q] Refund or Exchange?

My wife recently got a Galaxy S (I9000) and is far far from happy with it....
We tried the OneClickLagFix (improved lag, but still slow accessing the database), then moved onto Voodoo (improves lag significantly).
After this the part that seemed to be slowing the phone down was TouchWiz, so we swapped for LauncherProPlus (big improvement). Anything "Saumsung'd" on the phone is slow (dialer, contacts app, system menus (eg reboot, silent).
My question is ... Is this acceptable to have a 1Ghz phone that is slow, and needs multiple fixes and replacements? I personally have the HTC Desire, although not perfect (small internal memory) it out performs the Galaxy S (stock).
Has anyone gone back to T-Mobile, Vodafone etc and asked for a replacement?
Tony

If it still slow it must be something wrong with it.
What firmware do you use?
My phone is fast and i have no lag.
I use jpk firmware and have the latest oclf.
My girlfriend will buy a sgs also.
She like it more then my iphone and hers phone got stole yesterday.

That is encouraging.. thanks
She is still on Stock 2.1, not ventured into the leaked ROMs yet.
Can I ask which Lag Fix you're using? My understanding is that the Voodoo lagfix cannot con-exist with Clockwork Recovery?
Cheers

I use ryanza oclf.
I use jpk firmware.
I did upgrading first from stock to jm1. Only that was an improvement.
Im waiting also for the real froyo, but jpk firmware working fine for me.
I do plan to use an other lagfix that is in development. I think that will be something sweat for this phone.

[Q] Why Official Froyo Being Called Back?!

Hi all,
As with the topic above, anyone knows the real reason with the call back of the official JPM firmware( or JP6)?
Read up on some sources, some said that its causes unstability. However, so far it seems okay to me in terms of stability and usabilty. Running on Darky's Steel Edition Rom 3.0. Seems good.
Cheers.

Just take a quick look at the changelist from JJ1 (SC02) and JPK, JPM / JP6 and compare these. All of these builds are from the same tree!
And did you ever take a look @ your logs (being on "stock" JPM / JP6)?
Yes, the customized ROMS are really really good. But all of 'em still have some (mostly minor) issues. I think Sammy has got to fix all (or most) of them before
they finally want to release it.
Btw, do you remember the first 2.2 releases from HTC
The only question is: Which way does less overall damage?

I think the final release will be almost identical as JPM/JP6 but Samsung has to patch the Kies so that it won't brick SGS so easily.

My Froyo 2.2 is unstable!!!
I for one really can't wait for the next "official" fix
My cold boot up times are way slower than the JG5 firmware and the phone suffers from forced closes sometimes and lags like hell!
It's just so annoying knowing what the phone is capable of but not having the firmware to back it up.
I hope the official froyo 2.2 release fixes all the bugs!

Well mine run better then ever on the official jp6. Granted root and lagfix is still needed becouse of the lovely rfs...

Here's hoping that the delay means that they will upgrade to 2.3 rather than 2.2 that will save you samsung.

That would be one of the few things hey could do to justify the wait. Unfortunately I hear someone knocking on the door, it's reality.
That guy always ruins my dreams...

LOL - Very well said!

[REQUEST] Darky's v6.0 Gingerbread Edition

I just installed the rom to my i9000 and it is really really fast... is there any possibility for this rom to run on my vibrant?

I hope so

DO NOT FLASH THAT TO YOUR VIBRANT!!!
I just helped a guy Odin back to stock cuz he flashed that to his Vibrant...wait until Vibrant Devs port it to the Vibrant

Porting I9000 roms onto the Vibrant isnt as easy and clear cut as it seems. Thats why Eugenes first 2.2 port was full of bugs

waiting..... i am very excited for this rom

The captivate has this rom too

Its really pointless porting a 2.2.1 rom at this point. First, its honestly not much faster. Second, we're really close to have an official 2.2, maybe even gingerbread. We'll more than likely have gingerbread before anyone actually ports a fully working, bug free 2.2.1 rom based off i9000 code. You might get a VERY minor speed increase, but of course with the trade off of having tons of bugs. Not worth it in my opinion. Speed AND stability is the way to go. Not speed and bugs.

Exactly, and the only reason I brought Ragnarok to the point I did was because I had already started it. I did, however, learn a lot in the process. And I finally figured out how to fix the dang gps - even so, it is nowhere near a daily driver - more a curiosity.

This is true, if we have a ported 2.3 there is no point of having a 2.2.1
But I had in my i9000 a 2.2 ROM version and when switched to the one of Darky (2.2.1) I could see a real change in speed. (I had before Voodoo). Anyone could notice the snappiness of the phone!
It is pity, the devices have so small differences in hardware and it is so difficult to port ROMs. If you notice the Galaxy S forum is full of custom ROMs and mods, plenty of them. Aditionally long time ago there was unofficial and then official FroYo...
Waiting....The only reason I got the Vibrant is the AWS ... (and it still needs a mod for the FFC)

Yeah, I had the same curiosity 2 weeks ago. I had 2.2.1 running on my phone. For the most part it ran fine, but would randomly get tossed into a bootloop. And when I say randomly, it was extremely random. There would be times my phone would run for hours, other times it would bootloop an hour after boot, 20 minutes after boot, or immediately after boot. lol.

If you read the ragnarok thread there is a possibility that the boot loops are triggered by signal strength. Still, it would require capping the strength to stop it.

Ok so I am understanding (sorry still learning the lingo here and there), The I9000 2.2.1 is not that great but the 2.3 Gingerbread from the NS is possible to be ported to the Vibrant right?
If so then sombionix, may I suggest you dont bother your precious time with all these leaked releases (JL_x's) and only work on the 2.3 NS port. I have used a few of your roms and they are sweet, I can only imagine what it will be like with all the JIT patches in 2.3!

Froyo or Gingerbread??

Hi!! I would like to know which one version of Android you think is "better" for now in Captivate! ***SYMPLY GALAXY S ll (newest)*** or ***Cognition (newest)*** ?? Those are the ones I like the most, if you wanna add more options, Do it! But the point is....Gingerbread or Froyo?
Which one is faster, nicer, better, etc etc... for you?? Why??

As for froyo or gb I think its obvious that gb wins the race by far being superior to its dying predecessor.Allthough I've tried only 2 gb roms both were great,I just happend to like Mosaic rom theams better.Both Continuum and Mosaic are very stable and smooth, jvh and jvo fixed lota previous jvb issues and the kernels are making great progress as well,in fact talon and xcal's latest could be called final editions.Gb is getting a even newer update 2.3.4 were froyo will be left in the dust i'm guessing(only cog is being updated nicely)Gps doesnt need no fix on gb outa box ,it locks and tracks great vs froyos cpl roms still strugle.Looks I think are you to decide which u like better,read through the themes section of roms and c for yourself.I was afraid as well be4 the switch but I'm glad I went for gb.

I'm actually suprised this thread has lasted this long without being closed. This debate has gone on NUMEROUS times and there are several threads on it. I'd suggest you search and see which one you think is better/safer.
