Last I heard they were using Clear's recently opensourced framework for WiMax in cm6. As most of you already know cm6 is all about opensource, public, and free of licensing for open distribution. I know some people like sense and I totally get that cm6 isn't for everyone and I am happy to see options out there....so more power to all of the other dev's, including the official htc released froyo.
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
Meh, I was being sarcastic... One thing I am excited for being ported over is the said 720p recording improvements. Anybody following the "720p 30fps" thread would know the evo definitely has the hardware to take some damn nice pics/videos, but the software we've been given has hampered us from taking advantage of it.
[EVO 4G General] spencelk:
Thank you this thread is in regards to the official froyo release not how much one lives and dies by a custom rom, I have one EVO rooted and one not neither are giving the update regardless of what ur running I would assume HTC is looking for whether or not u have 2.2 and what kernel is on ur phone if its not what they want they would allow u to update regardless of what rom u are running they will want their stuff on ur phone
[EVO 4G General] twiztid99:
lol @

If we are using CM6 nightly will we have to flash a stock rom in order to update to the official 2.2? If I go into settings there is no system updates menu.

You're going to have to bring your phone into the Sprint Store and have them install a fix. Even if you try to flash a stock ROM you won't get the update without the fix. It has something to do with the update.me file that gets locked.

Sorry but no. If you are rooted and running CM6 (froyo) you really do not want to immediately install the OTA update as it will break your root and you may attain it again, but you may not.

Wait at most one day after release of the official update and a rooted version will be available to flash. Do not take your rooted phone in to Sprint if you want to keep root.

on the sprint board.....

For the love of the double rainbow, give us Froyo!
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
Yes you did. You'd have to use a file browser possibly with root to find the file in the first place. Ota's don't have the option to just save to the sdcard (last time i checked, could be mistaken though), they're automatically put in a cache which I don't know the location of.

honestly just appears they are trying to rush it out to keep up with Verizon which is fine but im sure there are bumps in the road. So stuff like this will happen and as long as they don't push back the Aug 3rd date its fine much sooner than we all though initially anyway. I wont get angry over a phone update.

When was the last time any of you saw the sun? I am talking about the actual sun and not that little animated sun on your Evo's weather app. Go outside, take a deep breath. The update will come when you stop waiting for it. And if it doesn't, then I refer you to any Charlie Brown episode (hint: Sprint=Lucy).

Besides, I spoke with a Sprint rep a few minutes agowho told me that his GF, who works ate HTC, said that her friend in the development unit told her that during a launch celebration at noon, they actually spilled a whole cup of frozen yogurt on the code. They sent someone out for some Oxyclean and will put it on the server as soon as they clean it up. They're still waiting for the Oxyclean.

;)
[EVO 4G General] tjleeland:
They spilled froyo on Froyo? I would think that that would double the froyoy goodnes. Why clean it up?
[EVO 4G General] EliWay:
Your friend's girlfriend ate HTC ?
[EVO 4G General] LordDavon:
There is an actual sun? I thought that was just make believe. I am going to go see if I can find this "actual sun" you are talking about. You'd better not be foolin' us!

Now I know this is a lie. Sprint Rep's don't have girl friends! HA!

You might want to reread the press release.

Nowhere does it say 7-30. It says August 3rd.

Hey douchebag, they did say itd be available for PULL updates starting 12pm CT 7/30, and PUSH updates on 8/3.
[EVO 4G General] kevinniven:
LOL

Go kick his mom in the junk!
[EVO 4G General] spiicytuna:
The "douchebag" was saying that he couldn't actually find anyplace that Sprint said this. Can you post a link where Sprint says this, not engadget, or any other 3rd party.
[EVO 4G General] d_willia:
I'm a tech, not an english teacher.
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
Show me where SPRINT says it will be available 7-30, because that's whom I'm referring to, and then I'll apologize for missing SPRINT saying it.

I quoted Sprint's press release, not Engadget not, Gizmodo, not any 3rd party blog/rumor site, but Sprint. Also HTC retweeted what Sprint said, again not Gizmodo, not Engadget, and not any rumor/blog site.

Thank you for restoring my faith in the forum members who use the General section.

hey i got my extended battery in from ebay. They have like a ten times better looking battery door than that seido overpriced crap lol. The battery lasts a very very long time compared to stock as well. Despite that one guy's claim that he charged it with his Lithium polymer rc charger and that it only held 1500mah.
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
Yup that says 7-30, but says nothing about time. So theoretically Sprint has another 10 hours to release it before they miss a 7-30 release date.

What I was pointing out to the original person getting mad at Sprint was that 12:00pm 7-30 time he was quoting was not said by Sprint, but speculated by the blogs. I guess what bothered me is that people take what blogs say at face value instead of taking the extra step to read the source and think for themselves.

The Sprint press release stated it would be available starting the week of 8-3 so that's what I'm going by. Usually a press release is what a company would be held to more than anything.

Indeed, technicalities my dear sir do still count. Remember, Sprint DID say froyo was going to be released in July. And according to their website, they did indeed release froyo for the evo...even though no one has it yet. I have an idea it's probably htc's servers and they didn't expect for sprint to actually have the firmware ready for release today, and are scrambling to get the servers up and ready.

For all we know the guys at unrevoked have a buddy at sprint or somewhere who got them the RUU early. Usually the way Sprint works is once it's available to one person for manual update everyone else is able to get it shortly therafter.
[EVO 4G General] tjleeland:
I didn't think your post was directed at me. I don't think any of your posts were directed at me. You just seemed a little upset.

[EVO 4G General] topdnbass:
Do the words unlimited everything mean much to you?

The $10 is unjustified.

However, because of that 10 dollars, I know how desperate sprint is to make froyo happen ASAP.

They've probably been working closely with HTC on this (or else they too would be foolish :p)

Sprint learned from mistakes with their first android phone (Hero) and they're not gonna let that happen with the evo.

It's their first 4G phone and it marks something big for sprint. This phone is meant to take the company in a new direction.

So we would all be foolish to think the wait is on sprint, it's on HT-****ing-C!

Meh, since there's absolutely no way froyo is going to roll out before the incredible, and they're just now themselves getting LEAKED versions, it's a safe bet that we won't officially see froyo for at least a month. Of course, I may be wrong, but come on, when has htc or sprint for that matter ever been proactive (think about the evo shortages.....)?

I have seen rumors going around that it could happen this week (which would leave tomorrow and this weekend if true) but never seen anything for sure. I would be careful that you dot get an updae that unroots your phone. the good news is once froyo is rolled out it should give the devs a little help in some of the custom rom issues.
[EVO 4G General] Sesso:
Dont know if I would install it though until the bloat gets removed. :)
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
What bloat? Really, there is a bunch of Sprint Stuff on the phone, but it doesn't cause any problems.

I have removed all sprint stuff from my phone, and there is no difference in performance to the stock ROM.

I don't understand why people keep calling it bloat. The only thing it does it take up a little bit of system memory.
