That was posted on June 29th. We're still waiting.
Getting our hopes up for nothing. Damn, I knew I should not have clicked on anything that said 2.2 release!

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.

Just because something is official does not mean it's perfect.

Has it released the source code for 2.2 yet ?
If not, could you please direct me to where i should be monitoring.
I think i was looking at the right place because it had open source Tar.s and tgiz for t959D but not t959.
No, they have not:
http://opensource.samsung.com/
It will say Froyo when they do, like the canadian Fascinate does.
Since they released 2.2 in US for the Vibrant, they have to release source as per GPL?

I was thinking the same, but it seems they can stretch it out 6 months before they truly have to release it.
Thanks for the replies guys !!
This thread maybe deleted/locked.
We all know that TMo has just rolled out the official Froyo on 21 and I'm wondering how much time will Samsung take to release source code for the Froyo?
The Telus Fascinate received it's source code about three weeks (14/01/11) after the official Froyo release (23/12/10)... so is it safe to assume that we'll be getting it soon too?
I just bought a DeLorean and will be converting it to a time machine over the next couple weeks. After I go into the future I will return and post the date at which Samsung released the source code.

Forgive me if this is answered somewhere, I did search.
So Eugene got his hands on the 2.2 source code. It was apparently leaked to him by a contact he has. So Sammy hasn't officially released the 2.2 source code?
So my second part of this question is this:
If Eugene has a leaked source code, why are there so many tests in his thread? I mean if it's the source code shouldn't it just work perfect once compiled?
I'm obviously no developer so that's why I have these "noob" questions. I just wanted to get some info on this subject of this source code Eugene has is all. Just don't understand all these tests if its the actual source and if it is the actual source code, why aren't the rest of the devs, including Cyanogen , jumping all over this and making ROMS based off it?
Thanks for any help regarding these questions of mine
The source that most are using is from either Euro9000 but then Samsung released the Captivate 959D (ATT) 2.2 source code. It is pretty close to our T-959 (TMO) and since that release in the last 10 days or so, every Dev has gone through this source code and updated their ROMS. The captivate and Vibrant are almost the same in build but not exactly the same.
To the second part, since they are not exactly the same... then testing to tweak it correctly for the Vibrant platform is necessary. That is why all the testing
Hope that helps
From what I've read source had only been mentioned in regards to the kernel, nothing else. I've also read that some of samsung's changes to the kernel have resulted in greater battery drain than the 2.1 kernel.

Normally a remark like this wouldn't be taken at face value, but Shravan already has a track record with this sort of thing, having accurately predicted the release of Android Gingerbread last year. Shravan's claim seems even more plausible when considering the fact that the European Galaxy Nexus has been confirmed for launch on the 17th. You may also remember that Dan Morrill made it clear last month that Ice Cream Sandwich's source would not be released before the Galaxy Nexus.
Of course, without confirmation from Google, we can only wait in anticipation, but luckily we won't have to wait long before seeing if this statement in fact materializes.

Im still undecided btwn GN and Amaze since no Tmo sub'd version of GN exists.
Having come from N1 Kinda out of the loop as to what turnaround times are for these types AOSP> Rom times.
Are we talking Weeks , Months ?
From what I understand S-OFF isnt an issue and good devs seem to be working on Amaze already.
The galaxy nexus is a whole different experience from the amaze, being that when ics is released early next year for the amaze ( as according to htc ) its functions will be intergrated into the sense ui. The galaxy nexus will offer the stock or vanilla user interface.
Personally on all the vanilla based devices I've had it always seems I root to get that sense based ui back so it was an easy decision for me, but keep in mind even if that rumor is true the source code won't promise a carrier based update or even stable custom roms for a number of weeks.
tldr; it may be awhile
