don't expect that froyo can do wonders. have a low expectation first (like there will still be bugs) and if the froyo update perform better than expected, then it is a bonus. if you have high expectation, and it turns out worse, then we shall see a lot of unnecessary threads in here.

Lets just hope the official one is MUCH better than JPC, because it really needs to be. I won't hold my breath though, not one bit.

Well i only care for the source of froyo so curio can compile the new lagfix for 2.2
I hope its true... And I hope Samsung give us all a heads-up when its due to land, no just shoving out the back door unexpectedly.
Wishlist:
1. Reformat data partition to EXT4 or YAFFS2.
2. Better battery life
3. Typical Froyo features (apps2sd, batch/auto-update apps, JIT, animated gifs in browser)
I wonder what it would mean for Project Voodoo if they do sort out the file system.... I guess Supercurio can concentrate on the colour fix then (unless that is sorted too!)

Your sarcasm isn't really necessary. Yes it was rumoured to be out in Korea in August but it was exactly that, a rumour! No one heard specifically from Samsung that it would be and thus only fools should have expected it would. September on the other hand http://twitter.com/samsungukmobile as mentioned numerous times (most recently last night) is the set update period for the i9000 therefore this OP could very well be right. I wouldn't get my heart set on the 23rd but as has been OFFICIALLY confirmed multiple times il deffinitly be tasting some froyo before months end...
yeah.. im checking the web every single day since the month start just to know weather the updates has been rolling out or not.. guess this rumor will speed up my heartbeat.. lol..
if they don't get it right, the i9k will be my first and last samsung.
However, I guess they don't care. Too many mass market customers who don't really care are worth more than XDA dev enthusiasts who care.

you can wish for this but i'm sure that they will NOT change rfs to ext4. yaffs is (obviously) not made for the mmc/sd-interface. remember, htc et.al use yaffs for the nand and not the sd! my guess would be that samsung will try to fix the lag-issue by improving the rfs(-driver) or by some crappy memory buffering hack ... i just hope that they will release the kernel source for 2.2 soon because i am sure that we will need some voodoo-love for the new froyo rom
Get rid of rfs. rfs = retarded file system.
I am ready for dissapointments: rfs, lags, no jit, 300mb RAM in 2.2. This way it will be easier to accept a FAIL firmware.

Isn't the whole point of 2.2(FroYo) that the Android segmentation is abolished and that we would be downloading Sense UI from the market.
If this is true we should all expect 2.2 the moment it is released as it will be a generic, basic Google ROM, then we would just have to wait for HTC to update Sense for 2.2 and we would be able to download that and off we go!
I am not sure if I am correct but this is the way I understood Android to be going.
i am actually, kinda scared of rooting im not 100% sure but seen somwhere a news bout release being sometime in the summer may-june think it was
I'm of those waiting... unless I can find a quick, simple and automated way of backing up and restoring everything about my current phone fast, it 'ain't happening until I see 2.2.
Many other reasons... including too many unknowns, unsubstantiated unclears, bricking not being an option for me in these months and so forth.

Dont bank on HTC being quick to update the Desire. They dont have a tradition of updating their top models any faster than their lower models, and we all know how slow they are with those!
That is the big deal. Android 2.2 will come maybe next month, but when HTC 'come' with their update, who knows...

The big difference here is the existence of the Nexus One, which will get an update pretty much straight away.
Since the Desire is very close hardware wise to the Nexus One, I'd hope that it wouldn't take too long to "Sensify" 2.2 and get an update out to Desire users. Failing that, if you're rooted, they'll be cooked 2.2 Nexus ROMs out for the Desire in fairly short order.

Actually, SetCPU will have no effect when running on rooted Desires.
When I pull the sliders across, it seems to have no effect, and the green max and min frequencies remain unchanged. HTC has a driver that they implement which keeps overriding SetCPU. We need to hope they (HTC) release the Kernel source. Once this happens, there will surely be a release of a modified Kernel with SetCPU support and overclocking/undervolting (assuming the CPUs in the Desire are binned the same way as the CPUs in the Nexus, this should yield a 10% overclock and better battery life).
Problem is HTC is really slow in releasing the source, it's borderline, illegal, and very irritating.

I probably don't know what I'm talking about, but my sliders seem to work fine. The widget display claims my speeds are scaling too, and my battery life seems remarkably improved, though that could be due to running the MCR. I don't know.
[EDIT] I see what you mean about the sliders now. Battery life still seems better though?

See I thought this was the whole point of FroYo. We all get the basic Google Rom (maybe with a few service provider tweaks) then we download UI of our choice from the market.
Apart from service providers having to mess around with the Rom there's no reason why we should be waiting for months to get it. Most people in this thread seem to give the impression that we won't see 2.2 for ages while HTC upgrade Sense(I assume there's a few ex-hero users in here). This isn't true though, we'll be running 2.2 and waiting for a download of sense via the market. yeah?

Can I ask why you think this? I reckon we'll get 2.2 the same time as the Nexus . If everything I've read about 2.2 is correct then Sense will just be released to the market when it's updated for us to download.
am I really wrong or the only person in this thread who understands what's going on with 2.2?

Except for the negative image for samsung if they deliver a crappy froyo release. I'm so afraid this is going to be disappointing for many people who expect their devices to be 4 times as fast and stuff...
I just hope for a proper stable release, preferably with the filesystem changed (but I doubt that's gonna happen) which just works good out of the box.
There too many weird bugs in JPH to be released as final. I had an alarm set,m removed it and it still went off later on the day. Apart from that other people reported tons of small and big bugs and issues.

Download ADW or Launcher Pro out of the market. I'm used to CM6, so I went with ADW. Feels like home.
Yep, bloatware cleanup, ADW install, and SDcard cleanup are on the menu tonight. Hopefully someone will have an OC kernel up by this evening.

This is just a rumor, but Phandroid has a rumor that says 2.3 could be unvieled as early as today (12/6). I don't think it'll happen, but I have my fingers crossed.
I know Moto Droids running vanilla Android and the Nexus 1 always get updates first because they're running vanilla Android. We're running Vanilla Android, so maybe we'll get to be apart of the "hahahaha, we got it before you did, sucker Sense/Motoblur/Touchwiz users!" group?

That's only half of the statement, friend. The point I was trying to make was that the phones with vanilla android get the updates sooner than all the other UIs. Since we run vanilla android like the nexus 1 and the moto droids do, we should be getting 2.3 the same time they do which, historically, has been far sooner than everyone else.

G2 is not pure Google/Stock/Vanilla/Virgin whatever you want to call it.
While yes, the G2 is the closest thing to Vanilla FroYo available (aside from the Nexus Series of course, which is 100% stock), it isn't entirely pure. There is another thread pertaining to this, anyways the guesstimate is that we will get it a month or two after the Nexus S is released, which is December 16th in the United States.
BTW, I love my G2, I think it's the sickest phone available right now, but at the same time, it isn't fully stock. Read Cyanogen's blog about it.
It's going to take some time to get it just right for the G2. In any event, I can't wait!
I'm guessing Feb. 2011, although after having played with the SDK's Emulator a bit, there aren't any DRASTIC changes in Gingerbread, which means less dev. work, so who knows, maybe even sooner! Definitely after X-mas.

Oh I know we're not running 100% Vanilla, but we are running it without a 3rd party UI put over top so I'm sure we'll get it much sooner than Sense, Motoblur and Touchwiz phones do.
I think it'll be sooner than February (my money is on a January release, as the Nexus S is being released with 2.3, so 2.3's release will be the day the S comes out). It shouldn't take that long to toss together 2.3-compatible versions of the apps that makes ours different from a 100% pure device. Of course, it's all up to Tmo in the end.
I'm waiting until 2.3 update before I root. I was waiting for CM 6 stable but with 2.3 just around the corner, it's worth waiting for. I'd like to see what it's like before I go rooting around in my phone. Pun squarely intended.

I for now only think that we might have a slight chance of getting a custom taste of it, because it certainly not gonna be a dual core only (if they don't want to **** with the Nexus S owners).
I think GB is the last update for the Desire - ICS may have some bits ripped off perhaps like Sense 3.0
I'm looking forward to seeing it, especially if it will be an upgrade to my Xoom - I'd be disappointed if it wasn't though still as I only just got the Xoom
I am sort of betting that GB will be that last official release for the Desire as well. I am probably going to be looking for a new phone with ICS.
I have 2 issues though:
1) I need to have real exchange support which probably means I cannot run an ICS Nexus unless google finally adds proper support in with ICS.
2) I want something high powered but do not want a screen size bigger then 4 inches.
Kind of disappointing for desire owners. I'd really prefer to stick with my phone cause its a good handset. I actually had to root my phone for GB cause my Telco are a bunch of bananas lol

Well, I built and flashed a working (kinda) Gingerbread ROM on the day that they pushed the source, and I knew pretty much jack about Android development then.
So hopefully, now I know a bit more, I'll have a decent working Ice Cream ROM on the day that the source is pushed, assuming they don't break backwards compatibility of the proprietary stuff our custom builds depend on.
That was the main problem with Gingerbread, the proprietary graphics libs were completely broken (white screen issue) and the camera lib wasn't particularly happy either.
Why can't they just release it now? I neeeeed to know if someone is able to backward it for desire!!!! GAAAAH!¡!! THE ANTICIPATION IS ALREADY KILLING ME!!!!!

It'll definitely be doable once they push the source and I'll say that with 100% certainty.
How well it works depends on what proprietary stuff they break.
If there aren't any massively disruptive deep changes and it is just an incremental update to Gingerbread then it should be reasonably easy to get working and it should work well.
Dude, that's awesome news. What I do next is out of geek love *hugs* lol I say again, awesome

I am sort of betting that GB will be that last official release for the Desire as well. I am probably going to be looking for a new phone with ICS.
I have 2 issues though:
1) I need to have real exchange support which probably means I cannot run an ICS Nexus unless google finally adds proper support in with ICS.

What's wrong with Google's EAS support? My Nexus S has full calendar, contacts and email support.
