EL29 Source is available!

[dtm_stretch]

So what does this mean?

Well, in all likelihood Sprint should begin to roll out the update to phones running stock EK02 shortly.(This is usually the pattern, may change)

If you are rooted and already running EL29 what does it mean?

~Nothing really.
Actually that isn't true. You should expect to see some more in depth modifications, roms, and kernels because developers will now have the source code to build off of.

Do you need to do anything?

~Nope, just sit back and wait.

What is changed?

~The big thing in this release is that sprint has officially removed Carrier IQ.
~Other than that, it is an upgrade to android 2.3.6 with various minor bug fixes(The last one before ICS)

Any questions?

funny sprintfeed just printed something bout an upcoming update..guess its suppose drop by months end

Yeah looks like EL29 will be the final build. Other changes owners who take the OTA update will see is a small change to a couple of the icons and the dialer looks different. The dialer change is actually pretty nice.

I just rooted my phone but have not installed a mod, but I did make a few minor cosmetic changes. What will happen to my phone when it gets the update. Should I unroot it? This is new to me.

Thanks!

What kind of cosmetic changes and which method did you use to root?

I followed the instructions from this YouTube video:

Not sure what method this is?

I used an app called ROM Toolbox and just set 'superuser' after the root. And also changed my battery icon and wifi icon (it's now a green color) up in the task bar if that is what is called that top info you always see.

That's all I changed.

I only needed superuser so I could run my backup using Titanium Pro Backup.

Thanks!

Did you install clockworkmod as part of that? Are the cosmetic changes reversible?

Clockwork mod, no I don't think so.

What would I have gotten with that mod?

How can I find out?

But I doubt it, I just did that root for superuser, and those two cosmetic changes.

I did make a backup so I guess I can undo it.

Android is so much different than WebOS!

PS I just checked and for some reason the Sprint update is not available to me yet? Any reason why? Was it pushed out to everyone?
