[Please Read 1st Post] ED01 - Samsung releases Froyo source code!

[Phil Nickinson]

No, really!

Samsung Open Source Release Center

Search for SCH-I500.



Moderator's Edit: This is not a means to update your phone. This is simply the source code for developers to use as a base. There is not an OTA available from Verizon, but when one is available you will find the news on the front page of the blog. In short, if you aren't a developer, this isn't what you're looking for.

HALLELUJAH!

 

[Oryan]

Hmmmmmm...

Then the rain stopped, the clouds parted, a bright light shone through and the parade can continue! I love this phone regardless of the patience it requires, hopefully this will be worth the wait!

 

[masterlange]

I still hate samsung!

 

[bigjobber69]

And god said let there be better battery for all!

My only question is what will ED01 offer over what were using in SC29 and the eb/ec01 radios

 

[BigSwoe]

And that is the $64 question. SC 2.9.2 runs so well it may be hard to change.

Help me to understand something, is this a typical first step in getting the update over OTA? First they release the source code, then test it, then release OTA? I want to believe this means we are getting closer to an OTA release, but I am wary to get my hopes up.

ED01

Veryyy interesting. I wonder if Adryn knew about this and was waiting for it to leak before a new SC was built? Or maybe EC01 is ED01? SO MANY QUESTIONS.

Only time will tell.... I am sure that Adry and Co will come up with something fantastic with this release.

I say change.... if you don't like what you see you can always flash back to 2.9.2.

I'm thinking it might mean that, but more than likely it means that Verizon has been the one dragging their feet the whole time, however; without their inherent foot-dragging, i would've never have jumped aboard the AC community... bittersweet, i guess

 

[Mellen_hed]

Not sure, but i'm hoping it adds up to better battery life and some new roms to flash around with

Personally I abandoned the OTA route about 2 weeks after I got my phone. the SC 2.9.2 build is truly amazing and the newer ED01 build will have to be just as good if not better. The only thing I can imagine being better is battery life which pretty much sucks right now.

 

[Martian]

Finally!

hopefully we can now get some CM7 love for the Fascinate! I just hope this is a solid code release, not like to crap Samsung put out for Eclair.

 

[Lttlwing16]

Looking forward to a ROM with this source! Sticking with 2.9.2 until then.

My friend had some problems with his Froyo release on the Epic 4g, even after they reworked it twice. Much more confident in the custom ROMS from our devs, than the bogged down buggy OTA version they'll release soon.

Patient expectations...

My jaw is still sore from where it hit the ground after I read the announcement.

Sounds like I need to read up on how to update from 2.9.0 to 2.9.2. .0 has been good, but with only a couple of minor hiccups. I've only heard good things about .2

Better battery life would be nice. I found just turning off wireless when not in use helps alot.

 

[curley]

I can't believe it. Of course, as soon as I get 2.9.2 to work with EC01 Radio, now this. Darn it!
