What say you?

[jcwxguy]

repeat thead, see the rooting areas

[nickel94]

Yea, same here. Wonderful, about time is was starting to think sprint wouldnt push this out

[bluefalcon13]

Yup, used the update.zip for my phone last night after the kiddo was in bed (update.zip was from the rooting thread). So far the keyboard feels more responsive in general... and loving the darker theme. After the cm7 gets updated, i might root again.

[blackops1125]

Yea that's what it does. Takes it from ZVD to ZVH.

Always happy to help, hit that thanks button if I did

[justj#ac]

Woke up to some noticable visual changes, but what changes can we really expect and notice?

[Hawaiian_Geek]

Wondering if there's a need to unroot before doing the update? I have gingersnap on mine. Anyone know? Thanks in advance.

Sweet! So within the next week or so the "When will we be getting Ice Cream Sandwich?" threads will start!

Last I heard was "The 4th Quarter of 2011" which is Oct-Dec.
They want to have it out before the iPhone 5 arrives.

Then we just have to wait for a master developer to make it ready for the rooted Optimus' currently running GB and all will be right with the world.

Yes, you will need to unroot and revert back to stock rom and stock recovery to apply the official Gingerbread update. Visit the thread in the rooting and roms section of this forum to get the necessary instructions on what you'll need to do. Some of the other guys have already figured out how to root the official GB update. Hope this helps.

I'm in the same boat you are. I'm currently at 2.2.2 and patiently waiting for the OTA Gingerbread update to show up. It says you are up to date because they haven't pushed Gingerbread to your phone yet. Just be patient. It will be here soon enough.

You do not need to revert to stock rom. You only need to have stock recovery (V9 recovery if you want to root ZVH). If you have one of the "enhancements" that moves cache to sd or dalvik to cache, you might want to "wipe data" or it could run out of space trying to upgrade.

You can just download the update.zip from the ZVH root thread in my signature and put it on your sdcard. Make sure you have stock recovery then boot into recovery and apply sdcard:update.zip.

However if you want to root ZVH, you should follow the full set of instructions. If you apply ZVH without following the root instructions, and decide later on you want to root ZVH, you'll need to revert.

Sorry man. I was under the impression that it had to be a stock ROM too based on drew's post from the other day in the ZVH Update.zip thread.

Usually with updates, that is the case, because they are shipped as patches to existing files.

This particular update though is a full update, so they format your /system and write all the new files, thus there is no reason to have stock rom, it just gets formatted over.

[sfhub]

will it update sw version LS670ZVD?

It will update any version, not just ZVD, to ZVH.

You do not need to unroot.

In fact, if you want to root ZVH, it helps to already be rooted with your existing ROM.

See the rooting ZVH instructions in my signature.

"•Power management and task killer applications"
can someone elaborate? is it internal or something i can play with?

I've got to ask probably a silly question. Why don't you have to unroot? Is it because this is a full update like you mentioned before?

You don't need to unroot with other updates either. You just have to have the stock ROM files in place. With this update being a full update, you don't even need the stock ROM files in place. There is really no advantage to "unrooting", removing the su support files from /system because this update just formats /system anyway.

[droid_filter]

Nice. That makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to clear up any misinformation and answering our questions. I know it helps me get a little clearer picture on how all this works.

Power management and task killer applications - Where exactly are these?

Got the update yesterday, and I too noticed these things.

The camera quality is the same, and I saw nothing new or changed whatsoever. Thankfully, it didn't make an negative affect either.

Not seeing them either, but in my opinion we're better off without the task killers. Power management seems about the same too.

I couldn't stand the new keyboard, and noticed the contacts suggestions. I just downloaded the GIngerbread keyboard from the market today, and it works much better. Ironically, it seems to do exactly what this new keyboard should have been doing according to the update.

Honestly, this update didn't live up the hype. It's probably because Optimus S is a mid-ranger Android device.
