Noob question.. what is froyo? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I did try to look it up on the net and its just not clear.. what is froyo? What does it do? Do i have it by default?

its an upgrade of Android OS - version 2.2 specifically. Stock does not have it yet, there are some customs in the dev that have it mostly working on the evo.

Wowwww, froyo is the newest version of android that has only been officialy released on the nexus one via ota update, and no you dont have it by default most likely...check under settings, about phone, software information, android v ersion and if its 2.2 is froyo, if its 2.1 or 2.0 its eclair, but if you tell me what device you have i can tell you if they have a froyo rom for you.

Cool, thx for the answer, can the
evo get it?
*This was posted from my Evo 4G*

From HTC, not for a while. If you are rooted then yes, but it does not work 100 pct. But soon, cm 6 will be here

I like how people use abbreviations when the Original Poster doesn't even know what Froyo is...

Obviously it's frozen yogurt! Yumm!

OTA Questions

First Off, im not sure if this should be in Q&A or android development. But, here i go..
I have seen alot lately about the leaked ota update, and all these fancy 2.2 leaks, which apparently requires a radio flash of some kind. Now before i do this, i have some questions..
If i do this, will i be able to use old nandroid backups of 2.1? and if i am rooted, how do i go about flashing the leaked ota? Im asking because im hearing alot of posts of people bricking phones.
Also, if i ignore this update, and theoretically a 2.2 update is released tommorow, will i be able to just update rooted? im sure i would lose root but could i do it? or do i really need to use PB31IMG and restore my phone?
Thanks for the reply.
Gentle warning, due to admitted OP confusion. Good rule: if you really have to start a thread, when in doubt choose General or Q&A (if one is available). Thanks

it should be in Q&A.
Unfortunately, Incredible has no Q&A section yet so General is used for that. For now.
Ok, ill keep that in mind. I take it the thread has been moved. but anyway, anyone have any input on the whole radio update dillema?
If a new OTA is released and the radio is slightly different you'd need to RUU. I am not sure how the OTA prompt would go and what would happen if you tried to apply the ota BUT I know you can always RUU down and flash the newest OTA after SU busybox etc is added with no problems.
So basically, theres no way im upgrading the radio unless i RUU and apply the ota. Alright. Guess Ill wait for an official OTA. but will a 2.2 rom break unrEVOked 3.1?

No one knows because the official update is not out. No one knows if the radio will be different than the leaked one, or if the hole used to root is plugged. The people who do know (HTC/Verizon), don't appear to be on this forum.

Latest radio...

So, can the latest Radio 2.15, be flashed with other ROM's, like CyanogenMod?
~Jasecloud4
I flashed the latest radio with Ava's froyo rom, then did a nandroid back to my baked snack 2.1 rom. Its running fine with the latest radio.
Froyo is nice, but i'm waiting for an updated kernel that breaks the fps cap. Or until one of the other dev's get everything working on their froyo roms.

Not sure what you mean by 'check' ...
But you can try this and see if it answers your question.

I have an issue with kernels and my camera, I hope someone can chime in.

Hey guys and gals
I'm having a lot issues with roms that are being developed. From my understanding hardware versions 0004 are phones who seem to be having issues with the camera. That's not my case. I'm currently running 0003 and experiencing issues with my camera with just about every Rom I load that doesn't use a certain kernel.
For example - earlier today I loaded frost aosp Rom and really wanted to run it, but it uses a custom kernel which my phone doesn't like. I tried flashing the OTA kernel which is in the wiki and that too didn't work.
From what it seems and what I have tested is that the following kernel is about the only one that works for me.

I know people have been able to solve this by removing their battery for a while and I don't understand how that works for people. Upon trying it and rebooting my phone still has a broken cam.
If I can get any input on this I would greatly appreciate it.

I know that I have read somewhere that even some of the late 003 Hardware version EVO's have the same issue you have. Just a stab in the dark but have you tried the special version of Amon for 004 Hardware users. This supposedly fixes problems people were having flashing custom roms and kernels.
Stab in the dark but it may help you
I have not. I mean I'm running recovery 1.8 what else should I be doing? Would you be able to point me in the right direction?

Rom Recomendations

Okay greetings! I've been exchanging roms on my hero and evo for several years now however, after exchanging my last evo for an new evo,(radio issues), I had to reroot and for whatever reason, I have not found a rom that does exactly what I need it to do.. My biggest thing is ditching the stock camera and having more space to install apps as some of the cooler roms only leave anywhere between 265-398mb to install apps.. any recomendations? Thanks for you input in advance.

first of all you're in the wrong section of the forums, so i'm sure a mod will move this soon, but to help you if you're looking for a stock rom i would recommend Digital Karma and if you want enough memory to store your apps partition your card: 1024mb, 0 swap, ext3 or ext4

Can we not recommend any ROMs at all please? All it does is make others jealous, angry.. etc
Also, welcome to the evo forums
try as many ROMs as you can, there are some very talented people amongst us
I agree with alex, if you are willing to partition your SD card, post a link here of the "cooler" Rom you like and I will modify it for you to meet you app room and camera requirements.
Sent from myPhone running someone else's ROM
I would recommend my ROM because I believe it is the greatest ROM to have ever been released in the history of all ROM releases.
sooooo many to choose from......why not try them all.....one per week....that's what i do/did :fingers-crossed:

I thought 4.1.1 had it too.
I'm stock and not very experienced to install a rom from here, seems very difficult.
I hope 4.2 soon comes from Google.

A. It's the opposite of difficult. If you can read you are more than capable of flashing a rom.
B. 4.2 already came from Google. Where did you think it came from? Apple?

I read quiet well but I also read about how people brick their phones cause something goes wrong.
I mean an official one that I download and update thru my phone.
Well the official one has come from Google as well so if you haven't got it, chances are that your phone is updated by Samsung instead

Why does Samsung update the nexus as well as google?
We all have the same phone don't we?
I have android 4.1.1 and no update if I search.
Strange why we don't get the 4.2 all at one's?

Obviously you don't "read quiet well" if you have to ask. There are multiple variants of GNex, each dependent on a different provider for the update (Google, Samsung, Sprint and Verizon).
