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!!!
Hi folks,
This is a noob question. I am unable to find any post related to stock Froyo for Galaxy S. Is something like this out yet ?
By stock I mean, Android as Google release it, without any reseller trash on it.
Thanks in advance
there is no froyo for SGS yet, at least not officially
much less a stock froyo
there are tons of phone killing Beta froyos if you feel brave
Thanks for letting me know. I am not confident yet in any beta out there, although a lot of phones are using it without any issue...
Hoping that stock will be released soon.
Thanks
It won't (be released soon).
Currently there are community efforts going on to try and get stock 2.1 run on the SGS but they still have a way to go.
After that, once samsung releases the sources for 2.2 they can start trying to get a stock 2.2 running. They have to wait for Samsung because of drivers and such.
Hoping that what they've learned from 2.1 can largely be reused there's a good chance a stock/AOSP 2.2 ROM could make it's way relatively fast to the SGS but for now, don't hold your breath.

I really don't think it can ever be called stock. All releases have to be configured and customised to the platform they are running on. With Linux or Windows it is all on the disk and web server, drivers etc etc. You cannot do this with phone firmware as the download would be huge.
And just like Windows or Linux there are some stock programs that each will install. So what can we call "stock"? Even the Nexux 2.2 has to be configured to it.
By stock/vanilla Android, I meant of course a modified one that includes drivers for SGS, but does not include any customer UI made by Samsung.
So stock UI, no additional garbage (iPhone garbage style in SGS case) would be what I really need to see on my phone.
Or maybe a faster way for this is to modify current Samsung ROM and remove TW and Samsung's apps.
Thanks

Have a look in the Dev threads. There are several Roms that do that.
Hi Tehpriest,
Can you route me to a ROM mentioned by you ? I searched but in vane... no result.
Thanks
+1. Have been seeking a stock UI-based ROM for i9000T for a while now, with no luck.
Cheers!
There seems to now be some skilled developers starting to get Cyanogen 6 (a vanilla version of Froyo) onto the Galaxy S. Assuming they get it running - which I think is likely when Samsung release the source for their spin on Froyo - it will take a while before it's stable and fully featured.
There's a steep learning curve for working out how to backup then flash your phone with a new rom. It took me three days to go through forum posts working it out, and I've now got a beta version of Froyo working fine. My advice is to get Samsung's official upgrade Froyo when it's out and wait until the devs get a chance to get something better running.
Also, use 'Launcher pro' from the market to replace Samsung's launcher, which makes things a whole lot more familiar.
official froyo is out, the wait should be shorter now
I am hoping too for this. I really like to benefit of OOB Android experience as Galaxy S is my first android phone.
Looking forward to see if it... hopefully soon.
wasnt CyanogenMod working on a release for the galaxy s?
Hi,
I am developing Marketplace apps and would like to test them on older Android versions (at least 1.6, better 1.5) for maximal market coverage. I searched the forums, however could not find whether the Milestone can be downgraded to either 1.6 or 1.5. Is it possible? If so, could you please point me to some tutorial or other information, e.g. which versions are available?
Bye,
del

no, it is not possible, because Milestone started with v2.0....for donwgrading you would need a CustomROM with 1.5 or 1.6 kernel, but that's impossible due to locked bootloader in Milestone
Just use the emulator that comes qwith the sdk

Thanks for your answers and hints!
Unfortunately the emulator performance will not cut it for me, as some things will be done in OpenGL which I doubt will run properly given the generally slow speed of the emulator.
The device has not been shipped to me yet, so I do not know with which version it will come... in case that's never than 2.0, will I be able to downgrade to 2.0?

yes, downgrading to any previous version (2.0, 2.0.1, 2.1) is no prob...you just have to flash the SBF-Files with RSDLite...as I am not allowed to paste a link here, just put 'and developers milestone' in google...the second one called 'sbf:milestone [And Developers]' will lead you to all FW-Versions of Milestone
you can downgrade your milestone only to Android 2.0
Below that i dont think that this is possible
Your best bet may well just be to buy a cheap second-hand G1/Dream, or Magic/MyTouch, or Hero. These devices can (with various official and unofficial firmwares) run pretty much the full range of 1.5 upwards for testing purposes.
Hi all develoers here. Salute to you all for whatever you did for our milestone.
Just a noob question. Is by any chance, by stripping down, or by any magic, is there a possibility to port Android 3.0 for Milestone? Is it possible?
http://developer.android.com already released information and sdk about 3.0. Any expert comments about hardware requirement or any hardware comparisaon details available yet?
I have seen many chinese android tablets and devices with same or lower configuration than milestone running with higher versions like 2.3.3 and some even claiming to have 3.0. (There are already many 3.0 tablets on ebay with lower configuration than Milestone. http://cgi.ebay.in/BRAND-NEW-8GB-7-...31243148?pt=IN_PC_Laptops&hash=item4cf532848c )
Any possible luck? Any experts there?
The old HTC G1 even can run 3.0 (just for fun, nothing more) so i think MS can run 3.0 (but...just for fun, nothing more...^_^).
As sayd, maybe MM can run 3.0 with some hack/tweak/mods, but nothing farther...
Google says that 3.0 is for tablets intended, 2.3/2.4 and so on for mobile
MM can't run Honeycomb, cause we have locked bootloader.
I can't imagine Honeycomb with Froyo kernel

Then why not for fun? When other low-configured devices can run 3.0 seriously, then why not on Milestone, which actually have good confi?

Do you still believe that developers should stick to what google or anyone else said? Most of the new tablets runnung 3.0 have similar configurations and even resolution of milestone.

Do not agree. Milestone is already rooted and thousands of experimets with GB is already done. Seems you dont visit milestone rom developement section. Its always better to get some information before commenting with dead ends.
Anyways thanks all for your inputs.
Are they still trying to Bruteforce open the bootloader? Or did they give up?
It's still open at www.androinc.net, but most of us don't trust the project since the source was never released and it just seems shady.
almost a month over, but no useful information from motorola nor any developers. Seems motorola bootloader will never be cracked in future.

You are wrong. All the latest rom available for MM is over froyo kernel and no GB as you stated. Yes we now run GB on our MM but the Kernel still Froyo. I think YOU should start read the DEV section a bit more instead of saying this things.

Google has clearly stated that Android 3.0 is only meant for tablet use.
Hi guys, I've come to the conclusion no one can answer my previous thread, so I'm starting a new one, asking a different question.
Can our phones just run stock Android? I mean, does Android support all our drivers? If it does, I may be tempted to just use that instead.
thanks.
YES .... BUT!
The answer is yes, BUT, I suggest you start reading about what Android actually is and the workings of this OS.
Then you will discover the possibilities yourself and within no time have the phone just the way you like it
If you would have read the forum you would have already had an answer to your own question.
Think before you act my friend.
There are AOSP and AOSP based roms for our device, whatever you want. You will find out what this means!
On this forum some useful threads:

Thanks Robin>Hood!
I neglected to mention that my phone is actually a customized China-only Xperia SP running on China Mobile's proprietary 4G network. It is called the Xperia SP M35t, and with the exception of more ROM (16 vs. 8)? and I'm assuming a chip that allows it to run to the LTE variant network.
Obviously I'm hoping that it would have no bearing on this conversation, and an AOSP ROM would be able to have all required drivers to run my phone properly. That I guess is the crux of my question.
I believe the Chinese Xperia SP is unique, You can't run other Android version besides the stock one.
Thanks cachanilla86! I guess I'll have to wait till a ROM comes out. Thanks!

It depends what you mean by stock Android. You can't just download AOSP, compile it and flash it.
You CAN download Android source code from CodeAurora, compile that with a few minor tweaks and it will work (see my recaf project). I think it even has support for the Chinese LTE variant (I read something about it in code comments) but I didn't look at it as it didn't interest me, I obviously have no way to test it.
Thanks adfad666. I don't think I'm quite ready for any programming, minor tweak or otherwise. I'll just wait for someone to create a ROM for the Chinese Xperia.
