I just got home from school and I normally do my daily roundup of ac, engadget, and droid life, and at the bottom of droid life I found this.

This seems actually really legit and I havent seen anyone talk about this yet. Im actually excited for this. Although I dont really think DL30 is the "buggy mess" they say it is.

 

[Kevin Gossett]

Yeah, news of EB01 has been floating around for a few days at XDA... Should be coming soon

 

[McBane]

Can't wait for the leak Hopefully it fixes all the DL30 quirks people have been seeing.

 

[PJnc284]

yeah, hopefully the devs already have it and are just keeping quiet until they have it to release so they don't get pestered about it 24/7.

Thanks, first I heard. Looks like my DL09-EA28 nandroid will come in handy soon. I don't think DL30 is buggy, but I am looking forward to Ripping the bloatware out of th e official froyo, flashing midnight or just flashing whatever adrenalyne comes up with. To be perfectly honest it will be nice to not have to flash rape my fassy every couple of weeks. Thanks for info. The more I look at those pics I wouldnt be surpised if it turned out to be DL30 with nothing extra but the bloatware. I havnt had any problrms with DL30 so far and my money says we dont see this until after the thunder bolt and iphone releases are behind us.... If they planned on releasing it soon I dont think they would have released the fix for DL09. Then again I really have no idea what im talking about, but as a verizon wireline employee I can also tell you 75% of what verizon decides to do doesnt make sense!

I was just starting to get up the nerve to root and load dl30.

I'd be surprised to see them try to push something out in the middle of the iPhone release. If the network takes as big a hit as the news reports say, the last thing Verizon would want to do it try to push out big files this week.

I have absolutely no info/knowledge about this, but I was thinking tonight that DL30 seems like the final release from Samsung before Verizon got its mitts on it.

 

[Kevin Gossett]

Just curious, but what makes you think this is "official"? The leaked DL30 also had all the bloatware in it, but some was removed, even from the full leak, before it was posted. It's likely that this build isn't the final version either, as Adrynalyne pointed out that this build still has the "EDF" typo on the dialer.

 

[makav3ll1]

Droid Leak already said a verizon rep told them this is verizons version of froyo. Its official, and even if it still has bugs and errors, Im sure there will be future updates pushed by verizon. Notice how its EB01, Leaving room for updates. (; Plus im just saying what droid life is saying bra. Seems to be official to me. Sounds like DL30 was Samsungs, and EB01 is verizons. For now.

 

[Kevin Gossett]

The build number just means it was compiled on February (B) 1st (01).

And like I said both versions are fully bloated, so there's no way to know if one was Samsung's and the other Verizon's...

Not trying to argue, just pointing out the flaws in your (re: DroidLife's) logic

Edit: Figured I would further illustrate how builds are named:
January=A, February=B, March=C, April=D, etc...
And then the day of the month gives you the number...

So DL30 was compiled on December 30th, DJ05 on October 5th, DI01 on September 1st...

gotta agree, theres lots of letters and numbers left. and theres lots of letters and numbers before. the only way to know is to wait and see.

 

[Chris Kerrigan]

Ahhhh, ya learn something new every day. I didn't know that, Thanks Kevin!

 

[makav3ll1]

True, but even if you think about it, EB01 seems to be the same thing as DL30, am I wrong, if it is, why release a DL30 when there is now an EB01. Therefore, making this official, as of now. Who knows what kind of more froyo fixes we will see.

Verizon does not make its own software builds. Any software update for your phone comes from the manufacturer (or a 3rd party in odd cases).

Verizon tells Samsung what they want in the build (bloat and everything) and Samsung codes it and releases it to Verizon for testing.

Just helping us keep our speculations on the right page.

And the first letter indicates year.. D = 2010, E = 2011, etc.

I left that part out, and didn't even realize it! Thanks

 

[afbar1114]

the edf is in dl30 as well

17. The Swype application will no longer capitalize letters inappropriately

Woot!

I was told by PK that he released DL30 as is with exception of root. It was leaked to him before any verizon bloatware was added. Thats why DL30 contains no vz apps such as Blockbuster, Vcast, Vz nav, Etc, Etc, Etc. Official DL30 leak was basically stock samsung and the only bloatware added was from sammy,PK nor Jt touched DL30 prior to release save root and still havnt released a ROM based off DL30 to date. which I do find a little odd. I wouldnt be surprised if PK or Jt already have a leak of EB01and are keeping it under wraps til they can release it, to avoid the response they got when the fassy community found out they had the DL30 leak. I dont have any insider info and its pure speculation on my part but I cant figure out why they havnt released anything DL30 related themselves. Besides a guy can dream cant he! Also I wouldnt be shocked if EB01 is basically DL30 with vz apps included. Everyone can, will, and should throw in thier 2 cents this just happens to be mine.

From XDA; Adrynalyne gave him the file and had removed bloat before he gave it to PK.
