By the time it does come I'm sure ill be on another carrier or at least a different phone. But in the off chance the vibrant gets froyo in the next 10 years I want to be ready. I got ji6 ota so I don't really know what kies is. Will I need to be kies-ready for froyo or will it just be an ota like it should be? If I have to use kies, where did other people learn about it? I'm not at all interested in it but I don't want to miss the main reason I paid $600 for this stupid phone (froyo). So basically, what is kies and how do I use it?
go and try our custom Froyo Roms. you might love your vibrant more.

I was just about to say the same thing. Although I'm patiently waiting before I root. I'm running JK6 stock.

I couldn't care less. Been running Froyo for weeks now.
Anyone know exactly how many official dates Samsung/T-Mobile have now officially failed to do this simple task that so many xda devs did long ago? Since it is clearly ready (available to rooted SGS phones) does that mean the culprit here is T-Mobile? They already have awful service and only 1 good phone. This failure seems like their death wish.
I wouldnt go so far as to say it is ready. The recent 2.2 roms are really good but they still have some minor issues like the headphone jack problem.
On twitter, all Samsung/TMO say is by the end of the year so lets just leave it at that.
BTW, that is for Galaxy UK

The leak builds still have issues so I guess they're really working hard on fixing the software almost to perfection since a lot of you have been waiting for a while for the official Froyo.

Coming from the GSM HTC Hero it's now my understanding that the carriers and manufacturers have ZERO incentive to rush out any update to your phone. I bought the Hero because HTC said Éclair was just around the corner, well not so fast. It didn't come all that quickly after many excuses. It took them a month of Sunday's to finally release it when their EVO was running Froyo.
This time I didn't buy the Vibrant expecting an update anytime soon so I'm not disappointed. BTW, don't expect an official Gingerbread release from Samsung.
Say what you will about Apple but at least they update the phones.
Thats why i jumped ship from tmo because they did the same thing with the original mytouch witch i haD they said we would get froyo way back in febuary then they said march tgen april and so on so back in september i finally terminated my contract then a month later they roled it out of no were i was pretty pissed lmao

I'm pleased to see Eris is rooted. however what if in the future, Verizon decided to ship out Eris with Official 2.1 pre-installed, how will we be able to root Eris from there?
I don't see the Eris shipping with 2.1 from what I understand the Erie is being phased out and the 2.1 ota update will probably be after that. this is pure speculation I may add

Dont worry man. There is no way to know for sure.. But im willing to bet 2.1 for the HTC Eris will be rooted before that would ever be a concern. And if somehow it does happen and no root is found, then everyone with a leak ROM install is back to where they started..
they're discontinuing the Eris so I don't see it coming up.

As far as I know, the eris is selling quite well and Verizon has no need to discontinue it.
@OP: If they release 2.1 on new devices we are in the same boat as all of us with the 2.1 leak... Rest assured that we are still working on getting root for 2.1.

Maybe you would know then.... if say 6 months from now our eris breaks down and we have the insurance, will we be getting a refurbished eris or be offered the next best thing (incredible)....???
Supposedly, the Eris' end of life is in May.
I don't know how they replace phones.. but I would assume a refurb, I HIGHLY doubt the Incredible, with the specs it has? No way. Maybe the moto droid.
& as far as I can tell, they haven't officially said it in a press release, but there's a screenshot circulating;

I'm actually hopeful that the Eris will get an official 2.2 update. I've been with Verizon for many years and if they want to keep me under contract they better keep me satisfied....which means keep my phone up-to-date (somewhat) at least until the end of my 2 years. Not that it really matters, seeing as we have awesome developers that put us on Froyo before most phones got their OTA.
On a side note. Anyone heard the rumors of Android 2.5?

The Eris isn't mentioned but the implications are that our phone will get 10.1 flash.
By this I mean our phone is HTC and the Incredible is HTC. Once it gets official OTA we can port it to the Eris and try to get flash working for us. I think that's what TC must have meant.
The sales rep at the Verizon store told me all the Droid phones were getting 2.2 rolled out including the Eris. I saw some sales reps using it still so it's still a pretty widely used phone.

Hasn't HTC stated the Eris won't be receiving a Froyo upgrade?
Yes they have. We are never getting official OTA.
Please do not listen to sales reps. They have no knowledge of anything. If you stay current on legit phone news then you are already more informed than they are.

One incentive for Verizon to update the Eris to Froyo would be not to disgruntle existing customers and causing them to leave the network when their contract is up. I know, me personally, that I'm pretty disgruntled about the quality of service they give us Eris owners.
Gingerbread is going to be Android 3.0, and will have a recommended CPU speed of 1 GHz. Yes, devs will probably get it running on the Eris, but the hardware might just be too depreciated by that point to run it.

as soon as the OTA for 2.2 comes down the pipe for Vibrant/US GalaxyS versions, we will no longer hear *****ing about FroYo, but it will just transfer to CM6. I can already see it. I was an early adopter of the G1, and had it until I dropped it in my toilet being a dumb drunk ass in late July. So, I had the Vibrant in early August
Personally, I'm going to wait for CM6 to release. I don't NEED FroYo, I already have the sickest phone on the market without it. I don't wanna say that the phone doesn't need to be any faster, because it can be faster. And when the possibility is there, why not? But any faster and this phone will actually scare me.

This long winded comment has absolutely nothing to do with the thread topic. Way to go!
I attempted to install. Wouldn't parse. Here's the .apk if someone wants to get cracking on making it compatible.
Version 2.3
I'm pretty sure it uses some of the Froyo only framework API changes. Who knows? Maybe Google will release an Eclair friendly version soon enough.

they may be full of it, but it does show that they did provide on their promise. now that its running 2.2 (the mytouch), I can see why it took so long to release it. mytouch hardware was not really made to support it, and it shows, but maybe thats just because im so used to my vibrant that when i pick up her mytouch there is no comparison

To be fair, apart from the dev phone (Nexus One) it was six months after the announcement and nearly four months after the actual unveiling of 2.2 code, before ANY DEVICES (apart from the Nexus One) had 2.2 officially in any form.
I expect the same to happen when 2.3 drops. This just seems to be how Google prefers to foster development, whilst staying out of the way of what manufacturers want to do with their little OS.
With that out of the way I guess I'll just chime in and say I wish Samsung hadn't wasted precious development time with refinements to 2.1 (JI6 insofar as we are concerned) and simply gotten 2.2 out the door.
p.s. One of my friends has an original MT3G, and it's slower than smoke off of s**t running 2.2, but even that is a vast improvement over what it was running.
Well, I wouldn't put too much on t-mobile because they're not the one that is developing the driver for the phone or even the os. They probably just develop the bloatware they want pre-installed on the phone. With that said, I think it is pretty much up to samsung on releasing a full working Froyo because they are the ones that will need to update the hardware driver to work with Froyo. It's like going from XP to Win7.
I just checked my wife's mytouch v2 and it shows her up to date on updates with 1.6??? Her phone is completely stock so no root. This update was OTA right??

Lol, CM7 is a joke on the Vibrant. CyanogenMod is always a step ahead of the drivers available for Samsung devices, so it will *never* work properly on a Samsung. By the time they have what they need to make it work, they're already pushing out a new "no wifi no gps no nothing useful" version. Nothing against CyanogenMod, but... Try CM7 (or any version) is never much of an answer on the Vibrant and recommending it to anyone is pointless.

Known bugs:
You can't get into recovery/download without the 3 buttons combo. (You can't from inside the ROM, so do NOT flash if you can't use the 3 button combo.)
Problems switching between 2G and 3G when data is connected. (You may get un-reliable data.)
Compass. (works not at 100%)
Video playback may be choppy with some formats.
GPS is broken.
May have many other bugs that are unlisted.
Polling problem on RIL (Works after you lock and unlock your phone.)
USB Tethering is currently broken
Battery life has significantly improved with latest unofficial nightly (3/31) and the latest Additional kernel. See below. However, it is still not as good as stock.
