Once and if EB13 is out. I'm sure the good folks at XDA will be able to get us a root method. Until then we wait and see.

Dumb question... i am "stock", so what is this update going to mean for me? New programs, faster processing??

Here is a list of general features of Froyo. There will likely also be Epic-specific improvements, but we'll have to wait for a change log on those.

No problemo. And welcome to the forum!

As stated in the above post, we won't know how to root it until it's in our hands.

I'll stick to my ROM until some nice EXT4 versions of the official build come out.

Read the very first post of this thread - it states it very clearly

I am rooted, did the EXT4 conversion and am running midNIGHT ROM v3.1. Finally got my GPS and voice mail issues resolved, so I'm pretty happy with my set up as it is, but would like the official version when it is finally rolled out. Am I understanding correctly that I will need to wait until a kernel for EXT4 comes out for the official Froyo release if I don't want to flash back to stock?

Correct. 99.9% positive official Froyo will be RFS Filesystem based.

Thanks for the reply. Since this is the case, what exactly is a kernel, in layman's terms? I'm pretty sure I haven't worked with one before so I'm not real familiar with how they work. Or if someone could provide a link explaining it, that would be great also.

 

[ragnarokx]

It's the link between your hardware and software. Also, you can flash it without changing ROMs or altering any other files.

I'm on stock froyo and rooted. So I guess I'll be able to flash the new update with clockwork. But how do I go about backing up apps and all data? can't use clockwork, because it will give me back dk28, right?

You can backup your information with Titanium Backup or MyBackup. When we get a deodexed/rooted version of official Froyo then you can install that and restore.

It could be soon after the OTA release or a few days before we have a deodexed/rooted version. I'm sure every dev out there is going to be attacking this ASAP.

Nice. Hopefully I can resolve the problems I've been having with clockwordmod 3 and flash this later...

You can only flash this with odin right now I think.

If you want to flash this with CWM3 then you'll have to wait till someone make a .zip for it
