When is Froyo coming out for Milestone/Droid?

I already have 2.1 on my milestone, but Froyo looks soooo sweet. I was just wondering when the official one is coming out. (or for Droid)
I read there's an unofficial one, but wi-fi doesn't work.. and I REALLY use wi-fi, so that won't quite do...

There is a very stable Unofficial Froyo build out there for the Droid (don't know what differences there are between the Droid and the Milestone, is one GSM and the other CDMA?). Check out How 2 Droid dot com (no spaces). Bugless Beast v0.2.1 is what i'm running on my phone, and there are very detailed tutorials to get you from 2.1 back to 2.0.1 to 2.2, if you're interested.

WiFi was fixed awhile ago on the Froyo Droid leak...not sure if you can install it on the Milestone though. As for an official release, that depends as much on your carrier as it does on Motorola.

The difference is in fact Milestone is the GSM version of the CDMA Droid. Milestone is found in Canada on Telus and in Europe on verious carriers. Another big difference between the Droid and Milestone is that the Bootloader is signed in the case of the Milestone making flashing of Droid roms impossible as far as I know. Very frustrating to me as a Milestone owner...

probably a while lol, its unstable as hell right now

No issues with stability for me, and I am running one of the first Froyo builds with all the goodies attached (800 mhz clock, apps2sd, launcherpro, animated wallpaper). From my understanding those builds were considered early alpha from 4 month old code. I can only imagine how smooth and fast the current builds are.

I'm running at 800mhz without a single stability issue. There are a few programs that refuse to play nice, but the device itself is quite happy.

Gingerbread Update date

Well I just stumbled upon this little nugget of info as I was browsing the LG website for info about shutdowns:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
These informations are in danish so here is a rough translate:
When will the P990 get updated to Android 2.3?
LG P990 will get the update to Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) in June-July 2011. More information about the exact date will follow as we near the date.

Thanks for sharing the information.
A bit later than expected compared to others like Motorola, Samsung and HTC. But better late than never, I guess.

Yes, you can definitely count on it!
Cyanogen tweeted himself that his next phone will be the G2x (same device, different software)

now i already july, but still no info for gingerbread ..

You will never get Gingerbread update haha!
Eventually when other devices will be already on Ice Cream.
O2X is the biggest disappointment of the year!

Last indication was September. However they didn't specify what year

gingerbread in septemper. http://translate.google.dk/translate?js=n&prev=_t&hl=da&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&sl=da&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mobilsiden.dk%2Fnyheder%2Flg-gingerbread-til-optimus-2x-i-september%2Clid.16297%2F&act=url

Depends on your point of view.
I bought it to use with CM7, not stock.

The newest 10c stock works great for me. It isn't slow and i got no problems.
I have tried most of the roms and stock is the best for me

I would have expected that most people should know by now that all dates given for any LG updates are FALSE, so please stop posting these messages and just wait.
Its done when its done and in this case its taking much too long (but thats the only thing lg is good at: keeping their customers waiting)

Lol, like everything else they come out with because they are so useless is that they have no idea, they wont know untill it is released so when we know they know if we don't know then neither do they.
Conclusion....useless company. Worthless customer service.

They are reviewing?
The sources are public more than 5 months now...
Is the next step that they actually decide whether to hire a programmer?

Remember the disaster of the rollout for Gingerbread?
So, why are you surprised that other companies are running ICS already and providing ICS-updates while the promised timeline of LG (2nd quarter 2012 = April,May, June) is running out of time.
Honestly: Are you surprised?

Why they can't set a fixed date for the update?
Really shame LG!
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA

as i mentioned in other posts, they (LG) "might" start working (or in this case reviewing) on ICS and not as so many interpreted releasing the rom.
thats how big corporations handle such mathers, with sentences that can put any way "they" want to satisfy the customers and if need be (like most of the time) put them as they want it to be and tell the customer to shut up because they at no point mentioned what "YOU" expected.

They're not going to release ics on any lg device, before the official release of the 4X
They don't want their UI out, not like its good anyway...
Its like the Galaxy nexus and nexus dilemma

Nah, that ain´t true. LG has at least one device available with ICS. It´s the LG L7 P700. It run´s with Android 4.0.3.

Rumors leeks and all that jazz, all over again...

Android ICS Update to be available for LG Optimus Black, 2x, Lucid, Lte, 3D, PRADA, vu, Nitro HD, Spectrum in October
http://www.thegadgetcode.com/2012/09/android-ICS-LG-optimus.html

October.........2014

If it's any later than October 19th, I think LG may have won the record for taking a year to get an update from it's announcement to its actual release. That's insane

And as said before: there isnt that big difference between 2.6.39.xx and 3.0 as one might think... Its not like android 1.x versus 2.x more like android 2.3.4 to 2.3.5. Guess if you dont know this you wont see the change

Thread Closed, please use the Sticky HERE, for any ICS related topics.

thats nice, but im sure that anyone working at motorolas help desk knows just much as you. and your guess would just be as good as their guess. it will come when its ready, but it wont come before the next nexus, as it wont be released before it.

I can read Dutch and German, the things I have noticed is that Germans are much more politer then Dutch people :good: even on helpdesks
My guess is that Motorola is going to Make the nexus 6 not LG anymore sadly :/ and that the android L will come soon :/ but I wonder or they will release the dev preview, I mean android L official release will be with the Nexus6 so I think The Motorola phone will have it on the same day.
