Welcome to the Android World

Awaiting on Froyo ROM

Actually Nexus One got radio hardware but it seems some problem on the software part prevent it.

Hope it integrate, I assume it is firmware issue rather than hardware.

Running Android Froyo 2.2









Pros
- Speedy even without OC.
- Compatible with pershoot UV/OC 2.6.33.4 or 2.6.34 kernel.
- Linpack performance as mention, huge increasing than Eclair 2.1 ROM.
- Adobe Flash 10.1 beta can be download at Market Store and working.
- Smoother Launcher2.
- Some graphics enchancement.
- New widgets added.
- Intergrate Tethering & portable hotspot.
- Data Access On Off Function.
- Fast boot-up time.

Cons
- Metamorph seems not working. XDA forum got thread of non working apps in froyo.
- Some paid apps is missing in Market Store.
- Apps2SD is not able to move the app if the app is not redesign for froyo. Using below command fix the issue.

Make Apps2SD working
- adb remount
- adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2

Make bundle Apps2SD working
- adb remount
- adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2

Farmville is too heavy, I don't think so it will work, even playing on PC also lagging.

Anyway others Facebook games seems working, but not ready playable la.
- Happy Farm
- Barn Buddy
- Petville

If you are root, you could try the Paul one which install easier via RA-Recovery.

Ya, widgets need to install Internal Memory.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Currently can't use trackball wake up to unlock the phone for Froyo but I found a great third party lockscreen which can use trackball to wake up.

It is call LockBot Pro, paid app and can get via Market Store, or just search around for eh..hmmm version



Benefits of LockBot Pro
- Lot of lockscreen themes for download.
- Ability to change backgroud image for download themes.
- Run randomly on all install lockscreen.
- Ability to hide status bar.
- Trackball wake-up.
- Smooth and no FC issue.

Install back manually, don't use Titanium, I believe Titanium follow your previous setting on CM 5.0.6 where it install back to ext. partition but Froyo not read from external partition.

I use Astro File Manager install back. Currently Astro File Manager can't backup / restore yet in Froyo, new version that appear few minutes ago also can't do that.

If out source, I do got copy in PC and those from Market ... install back... (those can't find one probably got compatible issue also)

Below is the 3 third party keyboard that confirm working fine under Froyo:
- HTC IME v25
- Google Pinyin
- Swype

At least you mention which apps got problem.

I wipe all, and I even remove the ext partition since it no longer using it. Having it just waste of space.

Android Market not slow for me, but got some apps not showing up.

Signal is stronger than before.

Some apps that have problem previously already fixed in recent version:
- Handcent
- ChompSMS (I know it fix even I not using it)
- Better Cut
- Titanium Backup
- Pure Messenger Widgets (all pure widgets already updates and support Froyo now)

** Not much I found having issue on Froyo and more and more developer already start and updates it apps compatible with Froyo.

*** Always remember, apps for widgets must install at internal memory.

Android Rock!

You can use below two apps to change icon:
- Better Cut version 2.3 (only latest 2.3 support Froyo)
- FolderOrganizer (This one is good in organizing apps, loving it and able to change folder icon, the Yummy! folder was create using it.)

I never change any setting, where you get the WCDMA preferred or WCDMA only. I believe default shall be preferred as if you set to only then it will lost signal when that area no 3G or weak 3G signal.

No issue for me as well.

It take for me less than 10 seconds to display all. I got around 112 apps in my phone now.

I using paul one, before I do using pershoot UV/OC kernel (no issue also that time) but due to video record issue, I flash back to original.

Then I format my sd-card by removing Ext3 and Swap partition via RA-Recovery and I notice it damn slow when generating photos preview at gallery and songs at music, I redo my sd-card with swap partition create. Everything went smooth then.

** I never use any backup program to install back apps.

- Take out your SDcard and put in PC and copy all files inside.
- Plugin backm on the phone to recovery mode, go partitiion SD card and repartition, let it choose default as 32mb for swap.
- When asking for ext. partition, use trackball scroll to 0MB (you no need ext. partition as it is not needed for Froyo.
- Switch of the phone, take out the SDcard and agains put in to PC and copy back all the data.
- Put back the SDcard and on the phone.
- Leave there for a while (maybe 1/2 hours) to let it re-cache. (I believe it done that as clean copy will make it sometimes to let all your photos and songs appear back)

** All pic and song sure gone as format means you clean everything in your card, partition will remove everything as well.

Pershoot just release new Kernel which is 2.6.34 and report no issue on Video Record (I not tested yet, just back from outside, test it shortly).

But always remember Kernel 2.6.34 got unmount issue and none of 2.6.33.4 fix the video record issue.

Just confirmed.

Froyo + new radio + Pershoot 2.6.34 kernel working perfectly:
- Video record working, no reboot issue.
- New WiFi module added by Pershoot lastly working fine.
- No issue on video playback and no issue on Youtube.
- Linpack running over 41fps after OC to 1.13Ghz. (before OC is around 37fps)
