[FAQ] Froyo Build EB01
Revision 1:
Q. What is EB01?
A. EB01 is considered to be one of the final final builds of Froyo prior to the OTA update. We have tested it extensively and have found it to be stable and mostly bug free.
Q. Where did EB01 come from?
A. Check out the bottom of Adrynalyne's
post. The rest is a mystery.
Q. How does EB01 differ from the previous DL30 leak?
A. DL30 did not have any "bloatware", but it did include a "Samsung" branded keyboard. There was a major bug in the DL30 leak related to email. My own observation is that there is a significant improvement in battery life after upgrading from DL30 to EB01.
Q. Where can I find a list of all the updated EB01 Froyo goodies that I can expect to see?
A. Check post #2 regularly. When the post is updated, the revision number will increase.
Q. What are the known issues in EB01?
A. Check post #3 regularly. When the post is updated, the revision number will increase.
Q. Is there a video demo of EB01?
A. Why, yes there is. Check it out
here.
Q. Does EB01 come preloaded with Bing?
A. Yes.
Q. What happens when I press the search button, or hold down on it for a few seconds?
A. It opens Bing Search and Bing Voice Search respectively. There are no options to change this.
Q. Can I update directly from DL30 to EB01?
A. The only method I endorse is updating from a Fascinate that has been factory reset and data wiped.
Q. What steps do I follow to update?
A. There are several ways you can get there:
- Advanced: Both myself and DroidXcon started off by using the information and files posted in Adrynalyne's thread. Advanced users, who are able to understand the 4 steps he outlined, will be up and running in no time. All users, should at least go to his post and thank him. If you don't, you might be eternally jinxed.
- Semi Advanced: If you want to do exactly what I did, with zero support from me (sorry guys I'm just way too busy these days!), you can follow these steps explicitly. Warning: my procedure includes weird lingo and requires that you trust what I tell you to do, without the need to understand what you're doing. I force you to start with a freshly flashed official build of DL09 for safe measure.
- Everyone: If you want things packaged up, and need detailed step-by-step instructions, head on over to DroidXcon's thread.
Q. If I flash EB01, will I be rooted afterwards?
A. Yes, if you use any one of the 3 procedures above.
Q. Will I lose my apps and data?
A. Yes - but of course you will be able to redownload your apps from the market afterwards.
Q. Can I restore my apps and/or data from a Titanium or other type of backup.
A. 1.) Guaranteed issue free method: reinstall and reconfigure settings/apps from the beginning. There are several apps that have their own settings export abilities (such as Touchdown and Launcher Pro). Importing these individual backups works fine. 2) Greater than 50% chance you'll have issues: Go for it.
Q. I flashed EB01. How do I get rid of all the bloatware?
A. The simple answer is to download and install Root Explorer from the Market. Create a folder on your SD card called "EB01 Bloat", and then cut and move the bloatware files in /system/app to this folder. For a more detailed explanation, and a list of files that are safe to move, check out
this thread.
Q. Are there Superclean ROM's based off of EB01.
A. Yep. Adrynalyne has posted all of his Superclean ROM's
here
Q. I'm having one or more of the following: force closes, terrible battery life (like really bad), my phone feels like it's overheating, the phone feels really buggy overall and doesn't behave the way I would expect in EB01.
A. 3rd party apps that are inoperable with Froyo, task killers that are killing things they shouldn't be (please don't use them), and the state of your device (should have reset and wiped per the instructions) can all affect your EB01 experience. If you want to give it another whirl, do
this, and then try one of the 3 EB01 methods above.
Q. You guys speak a language I cannot understand. For example, what is this ODIN, Clockworld, and this rooting stuff you speak of?
A. Check out
this informative post regarding ODIN & Clockworld, and also
this post for some info on rooting.
Q. I've PM'ed you guys because I need help, but you haven't responded :'(
A. No question is a stupid question, but not asking it in the forums is. Help us help you, and in the process help other members who might have the same questions as you. Due to time contraints, I personally can only respond to messages that are related to forum administration. I would also appreciate a PM if I missed something in post #2 or #3 of this thread. I'm also known to respond to "your mom" jokes.
