Froyo 2.2 available? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was reading that the vibrant version of froyo was available through kies mini. Can anyone confirm this since I'm at work with no computer right now.

Where did you read this, link please... and I know the international Galaxy S has a kies 2.2 update, didnt hear anything about our beloved Vibe

Hi, I am not sure if froyo is out just yet but w w w .tmonews. c o m just updated last night 11/16/2010 between 9pm - after 12pm pacific time. Here what it said. As I am to new to xda I could not put a link but I am sure you could figure this out below.
link just put tmonnews . com/2010/06/samsung-confirms-android-2-2-update-for-vibrant
"Good news soon-to-be Samsung Vibrant owners! At today’s big Galaxy S event in New York City, Samsung confirmed that all U.S Galaxy S variants, including our very own Samsung Vibrant, will be receiving an update to Android 2.2 ( a.k.a. Froyo) later this year and will also have compatibility with Flash 10.1. The Vibrant will launch with Android 2.1. Sound off in the comments!"
update: nvm forget what I said, I found out what the update was at tmonews and it not froyo. sorry guys

Its worthless hype from a non-credible source...
First the article refers to a different article from another provider. (the ole' heard it from a friend and they said) This is a hallmark of bad reporting first off.
Second the article they refer to says "Samsung Announced that later tonight" @ things are wrong with this. 1: A link to the announcement is not cited, nor will a search for it reveal anything, 2: The article was posted on the 15th, and the evening of the 15th has come and gone.
Thrid, the refered article is another non-credible source ( a look at their other offerings for news stories include... The iBoard, 1 yearold pregnant baby, a female hacker that is stealing porn, pictures of ufo's taken from the shuttle ) I have seen similar reporting from tabloids.
Forth, and this should have been obvious a glaring use a largely vague words... Supposed, Should, Could... if it were the real deal, those words would be Will, Does, Will ( again )
Lastly, obscured in the article is a single phrase which should have been as bold as the hearder text designed to trap simple hopeful minds, "though no confirmation on the actual deployment emerged at the moment."
Personal disclaimer... I like most people am personally hopefully that the fabled froyo will come in the next given moment, but seriously, every crack pot "news" site will say it is tomorrow relying more on the doomsday soothsayer approach to reporting... ( if they are right, they appearently had the scoop, if they are wrong, something must have held it up. ) Just sit back, whine and complain about it not being here, and rejoice when it actually is

2.2 is available, just not officially

The development section has some amazing froyo action. Try the one in my signature.

No I know there's a lot of froyo based roms already. But I'm waiting for the official and no leaked source so it can fix minor bugs like gps and etc.

GPS works fine in the Froyo roms released like a week and half ago or more recently.

I am bit confussed here

froyo is 2.2 yes so i guess that means we will be getting 2.1 in sept "with plans" to upgrade to 2.2 thereafter
At least is progress i guess

not good enough for such a high end device in my eyes. if it is a case that we wont be getting 2.2 in sept then dell should do the moral thing and release 2.2 source for us to mess about with
Dell have been saying that they wll release with 1.6 and update to 2.2.
Yet again, yesterday, they stated the same thing
Click for post --> Like I mentioned in my previous Dell Streak post, the Android 2.2 over the air update (Froyo) will come later this year. We will ship Dell Streak with Android 1.6.

we already know that, we were talking about the apparent sep update and whether it will be 2.1 or 2.2
I notice he said "Thankyou for all of your comments...." he cant have been reading the same forums and threads that i was...heh.
Yup - looks good on your screen mate.....what about getting it on to ours....there wasnt really much in that, as there was no timeline - is it really that hard to say 2.2 will be ready......"insert date here" and if you dont make it just let us know, then we a, know that its being worked on and b, know what the actual version to be released will actually be.....sheesh - is it really that hard. Personally if they'd said end of september.....adn then it rolled over and they post and say "taking a bit longer" end of oct - id be happy with that - at least i know....in a world of open and instant communication they havent actually done neither....
Am i being too harsh??

not at all, i don't think its the hardest thing in the world to narrow it down to a date... I've not bought my streak yet as I'm waiting for 2.1/2 before i take the plunge...
As far as reading comments on the web goes... god know where hes been looking, one main issue i has is with the horrific keyboard layout! there should be some option to remove that bloody numpad!
I would have bought one of these for the large screen internet browsing. Though it has been a disaster that its been released with 1.6. By the time this comes out nexus one users will have gingerbread.
There is, I have swype and touchpal working on my device and they are great. Look up the swype apk or download touchpal on the market. They work unbelievably.

Just read engadget this morning......ARE YOU READING THIS SITE MR DELL....Droid x already getting 2.2.....
As of yesterday i took delivery of my Nexus One so, for the moment i have 2 phones....depending on what Dell does will depend on whether i have it over the next 6 weeks or so.
I dare say im not the only one...
I don't think Dell actually realise how much they are damaging their sales by packaging such a high end device with what is essentially year old software with no update time fram... I know they said by the end of the year but that's still anytime over the next 5 months!

I think its more to do with we don't have any bloody source to work with!
the current kernel doesn't want to play with 2.2
And so far I haven't got a cooked kernel to boot, so I may be missing something.
To help efforts maybe we should try an nd all work out what there is propriety in the current roms, and then we can include what we're missing.
I am determined to at least get a vanilla froyo kernel and system working...whether it will be any good is another matter, but I'm on holiday for another week so no linux box to play with...

Let's root this sucker!
I believe that it can be rooted with z4root or universal one click root. Don't have the phone yet, but planning to get one from a local carrier here
Yes mine was rooted with z4root.

I might get this phone, if I root it are there ROMs that I can put on it?
Well now we have a complete dedicated IDEOS thread here so ROMs and mods will follow in due course of time. I don't thing there are any custom roms available for this handset until now, but I am hopeful that things might change soon.
Z4root worked like a charm here.

That's great news! I have just 3 days to return mine. If I don't get a "custom rom" that works or and official update to 2.2 on the S7 I am taking it back. This is BS that the company won't officially announce whether they are going to release 2.2 on the current device or not.
Ok so I've been wondering for a long time now, how exactly does one root. I mean i know HOW to root with z4 or nandroid. (I'm typing this on my rooted ideos s7). Ive rooted a droid incredible, a droid 1 (twice) a droid x, i just rooted my friends droid 2. But all it is is just downloading this zip installing that apk, i am glad it is easy enough t o do, i am just wondering if anyone could Point me in the right direction where i could find a more indepth explination.
I have never taken a computer class in my life. Everything i have ever learned about programing i taught myself, in light of this I want to try and cook up a rom myself. Also winning challenges sounds fun too. i know i am little more than script kiddie level, but if anyone is kind enough to point me in the right direction, hopefully I can figure out how to customize a rom for this tablet. Thanks. p. S. I say never rely on the manufacture to "give" you any updates, if we want them and i say we do, then we should all work together and pool our resources/info to get the job done. DYI all the way.
generally a rooting program exploits a security hole in the software/hardware to inject code and give itself root access, and it is then allowed to install busybox and superuser programs, thats pretty much it.
Huawei Ideos S7 will NOT be creating an update to Android 2.2 update for the device.
This is my post that I am re-posting on from
Site: Androidtablet .com
Thread: Android 2.2 update for Huawei - Ideos 7" Tablet S7
From JackJack:
I emailed this to them on their website:
I have recently bought an Huawei Ideos S7 with the promise that Android 2.2 will be available for this product VERY SOON. I also bought several of these as presents for friends and family. In addition I reviewed this product on my blog and other "tech sites". I gave it a VERY HIGH RATING, BUT depending on the 2.2 release I was promised at Best Buy here in the US.
I NEED to know if and when Android 2.2 will be available for this device or I will be returning them all by Friday. I will also write about this on my blog and other "tech" sites and tell everyone to NOT BUY an Huawei Ideos S7. I will tell them this product is TERRIBLE without Android 2.2. It is SEVERELY handicapped by 2.1.
PLEASE REPLY ASAP or I will act soon.

3. Everything on 2.2 version R&D is OK now.

JackJack, I am not sure who your sources are but here is what I have found out:
I emailed Huawei on their website and told/asked them this:
"I have recently bought an Huawei Ideos S7 with the promise that Android 2.2 will be available for this product VERY SOON. I also bought several of these as presents for friends and family. In addition I reviewed this product on my blog and other "tech sites". I gave it a VERY HIGH RATING, BUT depending on the 2.2 release I was promised at Best Buy here in the US.

It is SEVERELY handicapped by 2.1.
PLEASE REPLY ASAP or I will act soon."
They responded to me today from the email:
[email protected]
This was the header of the email:
华为终端部门对您反馈的信息给予回复
They then said:
"Dear Sir/ Madam
thank you for your appreciation to our S7,we do not have plan for Andriod 2.2 at present , you could visit our website ,the latest news concerning Andriod-based device would be posed the first time at here."
Thanks
So this is pretty much proof in my mind that Huawei Ideos is working on the replacement for the S7 that will contain 2.2 or 2.3.
I AM SUPER PISSED OFF ABOUT THIS!
Can someone "on the inside" give us a definitive answer on this? I was promised an upgrade to 2.2 at purchase time at Best Buy, So if Huawei does not fix this ASAP I will no longer be their customer.
This topic should be the 1St sticky on this board about the Ideos S7 because there should be a warming to people thinking about buying it. With out 2.2 it is can barley hold 20 apps. That is pretty God damn bad.
I am begging for "at least" a ROM for that device running on 2.2 But I would MUCH rather the company released an "official" version.
PLEASE! Keep me posted on this I have until Monday to Return it
-Ben
I am desperately waiting for a working ROM or the "official" update!
Why the threatening tone?

This sounds like a standard, non-committal canned response; I wouldn’t consider it “proof”. Huawei is a very large company and it is not surprising the person answering web inquiries would not know the latest developments until they are actually pushed out. And even then...

Yes the seemingly unused internal 8GB is a bummer but I think the S7 is pretty damn capable as is and for the money hard to beat. Would 2.2 make it better? Of course but TERRIBLE without? Not in my opinion. Regardless of whether Huawei pushes out 2.2 or not it will be available through the community.

LG getting Gingerbread on July [official]

The official LG Italy FB page just posted the following:
Ready to upgrade to Gingerbread? The new version of Android for mobile will be available from July for the holders of Optimus One. Some of the latest outing with upgraded graphics and features.
Among with the video of LG 01 with Gingerbread:

Also, battery, signal, 3g...are all weird ... especially signal...its supposed to turn green when its connected to google servers, isn't it?
Are u sure this is the " ufficiale " Gingerbread ROM for Optimus One p500 ?
Somehow I don't think LG will post such a HUGE RELEASE in such a small manner - video - that only a few come to know about ( initially )....( just thinking out aloud )
http://www.facebook.com/LGItalia
also on facebook:
We are still working on a new version that improves the management of the MicroSD (avoiding unwanted disconnections) and the management of the touch (do not let the CPU goes to 100% when you touch the display).

Use common sense, please.
It's an official LG facebook page for Italian customers. The announcement was also made in Italian. Yes, it's official. But yes, it'll be made in English as well.
But I believe we will get it before the Italian version.

LGintheBox says, that the Kernel is 2.6.35.10-perf [email protected] #1
I don't know what to believe. The release date keep getting pushed out. Last I was told, it should out in May...
I think LG wait for the Optimus 2x gingerbread update......Optimus One mustn't be the first phone with 2.3.....
Well, i think it will roll out on other country first, way before Italy...
I am on a Singaporean FW. Hope that means we will get it sooner. Praying...
We'll just have to wait and see.
Hopefully it will be released by the end of this month, but if it will be July, also not a big problem.
One way or the other, we're getting an official Gingerbread.

i tot delay until July ??
when delay until August ???
I think they released the buggy leaked version intentionally for guys like mik , frnaco , andy to fix it . I am sure that , if the leaked version bugs are fixed , the 2.3 will appear .
LG two words for you... @#$% YOU!!!! Lazy ass!!!
Hahahah IMHO within some days they'll make some leaked sources "magically" appear and when our developers will have fixed them, they'll just copy the fixes and release GB for O1...
This is hardly a surprise. Have you noticed that no LG phones have gingerbread at all? Not even the brand new ones. I think the ginger update will only be released when it works on all phones including the Optimus 2X and the Optimus Black. I don't really think we will see the update for the Optimus One before then.
Anyhow, I think this is mostly irrelevant. I got this phone back in November as a stop gag / entry point onto the smartphone land and it served it's purpose. To me, there isn't much point in updating it.
That doesn't mean old phones shouldn't be updated, they should, but with the Android update methods/structures I can't see this being very feasible. That's why I eagerly await to see what will Google do with Ice cream Sandwich to keep that "18 months" up to date promise they made. If the answer isn't very convincing I'll just switch to Windows Phone 7. That's what I originally wanted but the platform wasn't very mature, now with the Mango update things look very different.
All in all, let's see what Google will do on Q4 and then I, and you guys as well, will decide what to do.

Well man, from your point of view maybe you're right...
But I choosed Android because it is an open-source OS, so it has its pros and its cons... The mainly pro is that if your brand doesn't decide to update your OS or your phone is not supported officially, there will be a developer who will try to port another source to your device...

Amazed at the traffic neobuddy's ICS passion gets

I have never scene a forum in development get so many hits as neobuddys has. His ICS passion has almost 1 million views nearly surpassing cm7 forum that has been on here for ages. I also noticed he has only been on XDA since march, this is amazing to me. What are your thoughts on why his rom is so popular and receives so much traffic?
??? It's ICS for a 2+ year old phone...even the gs2 doesn't have ics...not to mention all the other phones that have come out since...not that shocking...
Yes it is true. ICS passion is amazing. I got my phone to passion V 10.6 version and it is amazing. Hats off to neobuddy and team.
This team is a class apart.

All I have to say is that it gave my Vibrant new life. Its an amazing ROM. I was planning to buy the S2 but this will do fine until my contract expires! I'm a happy camper, so much so that I'm gonna do the FFC mod, maybe I'll just give it to my bro when I do upgrade.
Neo's done a great job with ICS Passion. Where our Vibrants have usually been the ugly red headed stepchild of the SGS family, only getting hand-me downs from the I9000, Neo and Nelson have given us arguably that best ICS to date.
I'm running ICS Passion v11, so far it's smooth and lag free, great rom

It's developers like the ones we have here that make me even happier that I chose a Vibrant over a myTouch 3G... Boy, that would have been one big fat mistake had I chose the myTouch...
ICS
I too was ready to ditch my Vibrant for the SGS 2. Then I flashed this ROM thinking it would be pretty buggy, and to my amazement it is FLAWLESS! No need for the SGS2, it is still on 2.3! LOL! I will probably wait until the SGS3 gets released.
Oh, I ave to share this story. I was at our local mall yesterday and popped into the T MO store to look for a window mount for my car. Struck up a conversation with a rep, and the subject of how poorly the Vibrant performed when it was released came up, She said she had never heard so many complaints from customers, then I pulled out my Vibrant, showed her it was running ICS and her eyes got real big!
Neobuddy is the man! Thank him by sending him kind donations!

Why is this surprising? There are many talented devs all around the world.
its popular because it's ****ing amazing. it's absolutely insane how much progress they made with ics compared to how long it took to get a good gingerbread rom out when it was released.
I find it surprising that out of ALL the SGS, we the vibrant community who was left behind by samsung and weren't even meant to recieve official FROYO got the most stable ICS rom running on our phones haha.
ironic no?
in terms of hardware, which is much better the tmobile vibrant or samsung galaxy S I9000?

Not dissing India, just amazed that he develops for the Vibrant and lives on the other side of the world. In other words, I am under the assumption the Vibrant was released in T Mo USA and Canada.

My thoughts as of late as well!
I agree... that ROM rocks. I'm so bummed because I'm having a hardware issue with the USB on my Vibrant and have to get a replacement.
This ROM is slick and so smooth and I felt like I had a new phone using it! I have a feeling whatever Asurian sends me - they promised a Vibrant but we'll see - won't be able to get running as good as my current one running ICS..

This makes me so mad at T-Mobile man...
I hope Google starts releasing phones that are strictly controlled by Google... ie. They update them like apple products. I mean if you could by a phone straight from Google and they upgraded the android version every so often OTA... that'd be fantastic.
Vibrant + ICS

hey guys, been on the fence about installing this especially since i saw that there's a bug with incoming calls and you have to mute/unmute. is this still the case? don't see anyone addressing this except that it's "flawless" so pardon me for being slightly confused...

It's a hit or miss, some have it, some don't. So you will need to find that yourself.
It would be perfect if I could get better battery life
