Just wondering if anyone can post a tutorial on how to update the android install, as I don't want to lose any of the changes I made to the initial install.
Download the system.ext2 file for the beta2 release and then just replace the current system.ext2 that is on your SD card.

Would the same apply when updating from Eclair 2.1 as provided by TheBrilliantMistake here ?
That seems to be using an XDAndroid system as well.
So the same would apply. Just note you will NOT be able to switch back to 2.1 after running 2.2 unless you delete your data.img file.
It seems I have system.sqsh Can I rename the extension from 2.2 from .ext to sqsh or doesn't it work that way? Screen shot is the zip file contents from the XDAndroid 2.1 from TheBrilliantMistake cab install.

Just do a fresh install if you're running 2.1. I don't think a straight replacement of that file would work... You'd probably have to do some other crap to get it to work.
Extract the newest AIO to your SD card and run it. These cab installers are making people complacent about how this system works!
Yeah I agree. I installed the cab thinking it wouldn't work but it did!...now I'm digging Android. I read the Wiki and will start over with an andboot folder with the startup.txt setting file.
As detailed here in the android Wiki.
Thanks!

Help needed
I have doubts of what to do with this files I upload above. Now i'm trying with Stock rom and golf rom...the files are: build.pro, build.img, update.bin and update script,i'll update a folder with theses files from both roms! I guess this files are giving the problems because the rest of the tuturial is easy
So, Golf ---> Explorer, can someone with experience edit theses files so the rom dont have errors in booting up??? I made arrangents as I say below, but no sucess :S
-> build prop must have where is device and all...pico instead of golf!
->boot image must be of golf with bootclasspath line edited with stcoks'
-> Update binary (can i copy paste the stocks one?)
->Update script: this is the trick one, i dont know much :S

How to install it:
1. Download the file
2. Place the file in the MicroSD
3. Use a program that requires root permissions, where it can be accessed in the file system of your smartphone..
Example: Es File Manager or Root Explorer
4. Now, copy the file in the system folder of: system/media
5. Make a backup of the old boot animation, then cut and paste to the SD card!..
6. inserting permission then set them on: rw-r--r-- This step is important
7. Restart the System, and enjoy the bootloader!!
Download:
Windows Droid v1.0 (First Version)
There will be new graphics update
Sorry for my bad language!

Hello Epic XDA users!
Let me start by saying I got this from mrmako777
According to Android Police:
The Gmail 4.2 APK is signed by Google, but with a different key than the one in the Play Store (we checked the signatures - they differ). One is probably the test key and the other the production key. For this reason, you can't simply install it as an update and therefore need to be rooted with the ability to mount the /system directory for writing in order to remove the existing Gmail APK.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Note: 1) This APK was tested and fully stable on my Epic 4g, Android 4.1.1 PA 2.13, and is made for 4.0+ devices. 2) You must be rooted for this to work.
3) Flahing Gapps will not change this app. If you want to update to current distribution you MUST remove Gmail 4.2 FIRST!
Installation:
For this to work on my device I used a file-manager (in this case I used Solid Explorer) and renamed the file to Gmail2.apk as well as I used it to move/backup the file found in /data/app named com.google.android.gms-1.apk With the system partition set to RW, I also removed any other original Gmail.apk related apks in the system root/system/app.
Once the new file was placed into /system/app from the copy on my SD card I installed the file and synced to the network.
