Android 2.2 (FroYo) On HTC [30 July 2010] (V1.2)
None worked that great, could use the phone in the 02-08 release, but it crashed after the person on the other end picked up the phone, and on the other one it didnt even find a network (Tried both 3g and 2g).
Which version is the most stable? I do not need 2.2 of Android, a 1.6 version is OK if its stable.
Thanks in advance, Anders

Go for the Android 2.1 release, not the 2.2 (which states fairly clearly is a step backwards in order to eventually progress). The 2.2 releases are quite new and relatively unstable, and only suitable for geeks who like to scream, lose data and have nothing better to do than confirm the obvious (that it's unstable).
If you really want to be running XDAndroid for anything serious, then you're insane. It's suitable to play with, and reasonable satisfactory if it's plugged into a power supply. For business use? forget it.

Assuming we have root access by then (I really hope we do) will you be waiting for HTC to release the Sense version of it or are you going to upgrade to stock Android in the meantime?

Don't hold your breath Read this:

If this is true ... FroYo (the next Android OS build iteration) will be next month together with Flash 10.1.
Then we can pray every night to have root access + write permission to the system partition !
I really hope we do have root access. Not having proper flash is really bugging me.
Either we get root or HTC Have a sense version very quick after the FroYo release.
Doesn't the HTC Evo 4g have froyo? Would be ported over.

The 2.1 update for the Hero still hasn't been released despite 2.1 having been released a good while ago.
But then again, the EVO 4G and the Desire have the exact same level of processing power so I don't see why HTC would delay the update in any way.
Let's hope HTC don't let us down.

It gets bogged down by heavy sites. I want flash to work just aswell as it does on my desktop.
New flash version will most probably have hardware acceleration, and all the functions flash 10.1 has on the desktop.
And -hopefully- it will be a fully optimized version of Flash. So it's actually doable on a mobile device. But I guess that is the only way for it to be succesful.
And just to be prepared, I'm programming all my new flash applications to be able to run on mobile devices (min resolution of 800x480). I'm going openscreen project, multiplatform, multi os, multi mobile devices!
If the rumors about the change in how the OS will update then I cannot see too much trouble sorting out Sense for it as it will only be compatibility checks with the core components and allow for any new core features.
Plus going by @gogol's post there will be a lot of pressure on HTC to release Sense quick smart for it with full Flash support. For all we know HTC may already be working on it just because we don't know whats coming with Froyo doesn't mean the companies haven't got a pre-release ROM

They more than likely do as they are releasing the EVO 4G with FroYo in about 2-3 weeks.
I'm guessing that Android 2.2 will be released within the next 2 - 2 1/2 weeks and that HTC will either release the Sense version of 2.2 at the same time or at the very very latest at the same time as the EVO.
Forgive my ignorance but will htc upgrade the android os on the desire to froyo when it is released or are we stuck with eclair unless we root the device?
first time poster here , ive been reading alot of different info about rooting for the evo as i am new to all of this. I just got my evo this past dec and its not rooted(yet) ,i plan on puting on myn's warm rom but one FAQ/post that particularly bothers me is a quote from the following found at android central
Hardware Version 004:
--
Just a tip for after this process is complete, if you have Hardware Version 004 you need to run a ROM built off of the latest Sprint kernel (as of now, I'm sure aosp builds like Cyanogen will update after the source is released) for the camera to work. These hardware versions have new camera hardware. The kernel that works is from the Sprint/HTC 3.7 software release.

i plan on rooting via this method.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045
so my question is which rom/roms are compatible?(noticed that myn's is based off of 3.30 so im not sure if i can even use that) or is this info out of date or am i missing some information? , i just want all of my evo's features working, suggestions on roms would be appreciated
my evo specs are
Hardware Version: 0004
stock htc kernal
3.70 OTA
HBoot: 2.10
using 64bit win 7 also.
thanks in advance =)
this info you have quoted is out of date. htc (happily) released the #15 kernel source, which is fully compatible accross the board. myn took a long vacation, so if i were you, i would either flash one of the nightly roms he is making (despite the name, not every night though. maybe 3 times a week at most. my phone is getting sore from lack of flashing) or just wait for the stable release.
btw, welcome to the forums, and hopefully to root. i know a few people that would be happy to help you if you are stuck or having problems rooting. i am one of them. my info is all in my sig. just contact me and i will be happy to help you. even if you want a hand-holding walkthrough (but you seem more independent than that. you read!!!)
thanks for the reply dk. what about the #17 kernel's source?, im leaning torwards flashing a more stable rom, any suggestions for a solid one?, and thanks if i run into any problems i will message you

The kernel source for 17 hasn't been released yet that I have heard. For a stable rom I would recommend Myn's TwoPointTwo. The public release of RLS 5 is out tomorrow which will have all of the updated stuff. I might be a little biased as I am a user of Myn's rom, but I could also recommend Fresh to you as well. It all really depends on what you want out of a rom. If you like Htc Sense, then stick to either one of those and I would say Myn's. If you don't like Sense, go with Cyanogen.

If you're trying to flash an out of date rom, go get the #15 kernel from the dev section of this forum. Then all you need is to downgrade your PRI to 1.77 and you'll be able to flash any rom you want.
Enjoy!
I have hardware 0004.
Flash the rom first,
flash the #15 kernel (whichever one you want/like)
flash the PRI downgrade last (you can also find all PRI/radio/etc versions in the dev section)
nandroid first
wipe cache/dalvik between each flash.
Myn's rls5 (which will be released 1/7/11 for everyone), mikfroyo and the stock rom are all compatible with the hardware WITHOUT the PRI downgrade. The #15 kernel is recommended anyway, you might as well get it now.
what are the differences between #15 and #17?
leaning torwards myn's. not even rooted yet haha
i will see what happens in the next few days and report back(in the middle of moving), thanks for the info so far
I would also suggest virus roms. He makes amazing roms. As long as you have kernel 15, you should be able to flash any rom , I believe (anyone feel free to correct me). I dunno, I guess, I try to keep up with the new releases, I don't have hw 0004, but I know others who do who also run virus roms (I suppose it's just a matter of the kernel). Listen to others more than me
But welcome.

Hi there,
I have too a 004 Evo with the 2.10 hboot, and I rooted it with that method u posted and am currently running Myn's RLS4 with the latests radio, nv and wimax BUT with the pri at 1.77 and using netarchy's 4.2.3 kernel without any problems whatsoever, so from my pov you're good to go...
And fwiw, I am using latest RA's....
Just have one more question,do I need to flash updated radios our can I just leave them?
I'm not really sure what the benefits of updated ones are..I've read some scary stuff after people flashing radios, in combo at least
ok, first of all, kernel 15 is newer than 17 for some wird reaosn. 15 was just released on the 3.70 ota. sidology, the updated radios are just the newest released. all root methods besides unrevoked downgrade you waaaay back (to the first software release i think?) in order to exploit the phone. this is why you need to upgrade your radios back. myns 5 is out now, so you have no worries anymore. just root, and flash!
i may not be available to helping you root (i need to train some rats this week homework sucks) but i am free tomorrow and most weekends and will do all i can.

thanks for clearing that up =S, i thought 17 was newer lol. i havent rooted just yet, trying to gather info as i go , i still plan on using the 2.02/2.10 guide in my OP and just re flashing sprint lovers with the radio combo since im not sure if the one in the guide uses that one, then flash to myn's L5
just a side thought: i dont see many posts about people using unrevoked 3.3 much, if it doesnt downgrade radios shouldnt it be easier?
EDIT: just read that unrevoked is an easier method at bricking some peoples phones ,so nevermind lol
anyway thanks alot for the replys and info, its very much appreciated
unrevoked can sometimes brick people, or just corrupt your radio. if you dont mind wiping, then root manually. much safer, and you get to figure out how to actually so some stuff.
I installed this yesterday and after testing a few things, i'm pretty sure, that part of it is based on a htc 2.2 rom and is older then virtuos 0.9.
i noticed the flashlight application is called "blitzlicht" again if you set the language to german. that was corrected in 1.72 / 2.2.1 to "taschenlampe".
other problems:
-if i close an application, it sometimes takes forever to get the symbols and widgets on my desktop, much longer then on 0.9.
-APN settings for swisscom are missing and have to be entered manually
well as this is your first post, i welcome you to the forums and i hope you continue to post on here. but to answer your question, yes the version of android on the newest virtuous is not 2.2.1, but rmk insists that this is the newest version of the htc sense that was released. he said in lateer builds that it will be updated back to 2.2.1. all of the problems you mentioned are getting worked on, because everryone is having the same issues as you. just sit back, because rmk always has updates and patches coming out for fixes. dont worry!
hi patrick
i noticed you're having the home screen problems as well.
i still think it's based on an older version even if it does have some new fixes.
htc seems to have some problems with their branches of the dev. tree.
i'm back to 0.9 for the moment, as it works better for me.
i want to ask a simple question to all.

Not sure where you're located but according to Moto forums https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/47028 the Defy in the US has received a limited release for testing which means the official release wont be to far away. Probably like the other posts said, end of April.

I have a new DEFY that is US T-Mobile Branded running 2.2.1 from the factory. How can I help? See pictures below!
Coming soon
...so China has 2.2 for quiet a while now and Korea got Froyo to. My guess: next the Staates will get Froyo and then its Europes turn
It seems that MOTO is rolling out the update but in batches. Any info on when is Froyo going to be released in India?
So any one with official 2.2 what's the phone like now any better ? is it faster, smoother, bug free (as they have been working with the rom for over a year now)?
I know 1 thing i was looking forward to was a black status bar but its still white oh well
also what pisses me of is that most devices will be upgraded to 2.3 including the droidx witch was out before the defy.
This is the last time i buy Motorola there crap with updates.
I just gave up waiting and flashed a custom ROM. It was the best thing I did! The xd1 ROM is many times faster than the Motorola's. Highly recommended!

I am new to the Android phone, and I purchase the Defy on last sunday, I like this phone and those function, but I am thinking to upgrade the firmware to 2.2, the salesman say it can be download 2.2 OTA at April, but after a week and there is still nothing.
So now I am thinking upgrade to CM7, one question, after installed the CM7, can it downgrade to the original 2.2 OTA?
Also I am focusing to the Hotspot feature. Is it work fine?
my phone version is
2.59.0.MB525.Retail.n.CH18
firmware version
2.1 update1
Yes, i have done that tomorrow. I don't like some modifications that i was used to, in the contact list, that have changed in the CM7. I'm gonna wait to another version to see if will get better what i want.
it seems like cm7 is still in beta-mode if i was u i would wait untill a stable verison comes out
If you don't want to be flashing fixes every other day i recommend not going with CM7. It runs great for light usage but it has many issues for now.
I recommend going with a 2.2 rom like my EphuNord. It is a clean Blurless 2.2 rom with a few modifications to allow easy themeing. I also uploaded around 8 themes.
If you follow the correct procedures you can always downgrade as far as 2.1 again if you need to.
thx for information, but which is the most stable for 2.2? I saw some post that some rom are not compatible?! Any recommandation? I want 2.2 or above.
I am lost on upgrade or not.
I want to update to ephnord 2.2
But want to downgrade back to 2.1
I am 2.51 uk(the phone came with it)
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
For Now 2.2 will be a better choice as the CM7 is its beta phases so let it come as a stable build...
N dude make sure while upgrading from 2.1 to 2.2 you does not lose ur downgradability and for that use the excellent work from fritolays so that u can downgade back to ur original firmware just by flashing 2.1 firmware of ur choice back...
Were can i find fritolays`s work,thanks in advance mate.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
If you're newbie (or just want to use phone, not patch it every day), then better 2.2
fritolays's work here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=977989
EphuNord is also good choise for you. They both based on latest official leaked 2.2 and very stable.
