Because it's just irritating to see Sprint NASCAR (et. al) in my app drawer and not be allowed to remove it.

I don't care if it changes system performance at all, and I realize the space gain is negligible, I just hate looking at the crap.

I do think it's hilarious to see how speculations have died in the last 6 months. In the Hero section we debated and speculated for MONTHS, now FroYo seems to be right around the corner and it's like everyone is bored with speculation and finally realizes it will be here when it gets here.

I hope it does drop soon, that would be way cool ;)

and FWIW... UNLESS YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT POSSIBLY LOSING ROOT FOREVER DO NOT UPDATE UNTIL THE DEVS HAVE THEIR WAY WITH IT
[EVO 4G General] YoungAceAtlanta:
You can always uninstall Sprint apps your self.. but you wouldn't update anyway if you want to keep root
[EVO 4G General] Sporkman:
i think ur buddy is yanking ur chain
[EVO 4G General] skantman69:
Or everyone who really cares about froyo is playing around with all the roms released so far. I personally played with it and I don't see that big of s difference between it and 2.1 so I went back to the stable fresh.
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
2 more cents...

I would bet either Sporkman is correct or your friend is simply misinformed. I hope she's not :D
[EVO 4G General] omegasun18:
lol well with Engaget reporting it is possible HTC rolls out froyo soon maybe that is where it came from or maybe it really is coming?

another report of HTC saying froyo is coming very soon at the end of this article
[EVO 4G General] Sporkman:
hell i hope im wrong lol
[EVO 4G General] tsunami0ne:
Trust me, Froyo is not coming out tomorrow for the EVO. Most likely sometime in August.

[EVO 4G General] Yedgy:
And for those who might be wondering: no, the flashlight APK won't install on CM6. It must be tied into the HTC Sense framework. :(
[EVO 4G General] marcog42:
renaming to update.zip did not achieve desired results.
[EVO 4G General] ih8uofa:

[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
You have to turn off the phone and before pressing power to turn it on HOLD the volume up button and power till you get a white screen with some androids on it.

i have flashlight running on CM6 nightly; i've used it plenty of times as well (especially during the power outage early in the week)
[EVO 4G General] dbolot1:
Currently using CM6 nightly (runs great except for 4g), and as much as I want 4g, i am not sure if i want to trade it for 30fps cap. I think i will wait a few hours :)

Sprint has also released a piece with details on the update’s changes (aside from the obvious):
[EVO 4G General] fandroid213:
I can't post links but there is a guide to applying the update at android police

[EVO 4G General] jblazea50:

Also, if you guys don't want to lose root, flash Ava's Froyo 2.2 rom that is from the Official Release here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=720682

[EVO 4G General] edtate:
Yup bud. If you have any problems doing that,nandroid back to a 1.47 kernel and go to recovery and repeat.
[EVO 4G General] donatom3:
All his stuff is open source code. The only part I could see this helping is the guy coding the 4g part. I'm going to install the Ava unlocked rom, cuz of 4G, but most likely still still use Cyanogen as a daily.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
How on earth could he have it rooted already? Im guessing he just took pieces from the official and plugged it in to what he already had.
[EVO 4G General] Sirchuk:
Supposedly he has an inside connection of some kind and has been working on it since early this morning.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Yea but his numbers on his rom dont match up with the official rom. The official is listed as 3.26.651.3... his is listed as 3.25.651.1
[EVO 4G General] scooter185:
His connection probably got him the last pre release build.
[EVO 4G General] Sirchuk:
That's the only discrepancy that has me on edge too. Still giving it a go, flashing right now.
[EVO 4G General] mmarsman:

I have downloaded the zip file placed in root of SD card, powered off while trying on i held power and vol down selected recovery it bring up the white screen (boot screen) then goes to a black screen with a phone and a "!" point in a triangle. have to pull battery and power onto do anything. am i doing something wrong.

ill give that a try
[EVO 4G General] scooter185:
When you get to the triangle with the ! Just hit power up (or is it power down?) It should bring up a menu at the bottom of the screen. You should get an option to update from sd card.
[EVO 4G General] escalade99:
hey i have an evo and i just applied the update posted a few pages back on this site and engadget through recovery but when i went to reboot it i just get an image of a box with an arrow going to the android icon.... could anybody tell me what to do please or at least point me in the right direction
[EVO 4G General] ernicoats:
found it got to hold power button and then press up to get the option to boot from SD card.
[EVO 4G General] nowhere2010:
Well, here's the supposed Sprint internal communication.

Note that they have indicated that 7/30 is a PR announcement only.
[EVO 4G General] Sirchuk:
Beat me to it.

So customers are going to be able to download it tomorrow afternoon, with the push coming next week. Nice. So we should have ROM's available for install Saturday or Sunday..=)

Yeah, but note that it says that it will be made available Friday afternoon for "client-initiated" download. No idea what that means, maybe going in and manually pressing Update Firmware?

4G Mac

I found it interesting that they are locking down 4G sharing to authorized MACs only. I bet (hope!) this only applies to folks running the actual sprint sharing app. I wonder how Wireless tether will handle this added layer. (if it even has to deal with it..)
[EVO 4G General] Sporkman:

[EVO 4G General] onyx00:
Question - what does this mean for those who are rooted? For simplicity, let's assume you are flashed with the stock Sprint software that is rooted. Guessing you still don't want to take this update and wait for something to be posted here.
[EVO 4G General] PhantomApollyon:
I've counted 5 now.
[EVO 4G General] a5ehren:
Yes. If you're already rooted or may want to root in the future, do not use the Sprint OTA that will be out there. There will be a rooted full stock ROM within a few days along with the custom ROMs.
[EVO 4G General] pezhore:
Depending on what app you use for wireless tethering, they probably won't know. (If it supports NAT translation)

Side note: this XDA App is awesome!
[EVO 4G General] redzee:
I will wait for the reports on what it does to come in. Remember the last update that had to be pulled back.
[EVO 4G General] Mecha2142:
I couldn't help but notice one of the planned changes is an increase in 720p camcorder performance. Hopefully, somebody can pull the media_profile.xml from the phone to see what Sprint's messed around with :).
[EVO 4G General] sablesurfer:
BLECH!!!

"including a host of new preloaded widgets"

...from the engadget story.
[EVO 4G General] mrmomoman:
I think they mean authorizing users while your application is running so that others can just join. Kind of like the way its done now in the wireless tether app. You can lock down by mac who gets access.
[EVO 4G General] bobdude5:
htc widgets are the best
[EVO 4G General] dglowe343:
Hopefully this helps the devs, but I'm on DC 3.5 and I'm pretty happy with it considering its a beta.
[EVO 4G General] apexi350z:
I'm guessing it doesn't matter if they lock down 4G with MACs. Since we can connect to 4G first, then turn on Wireless Tethering like pezhore says, which can use NAT translation...

Check out the engadget article, for EVO it starts tomorrow with user initiated upgrades and a full push upgrade starting Monday.

So if you're on stock tomorrow afternoon, try to update via firmware update under settings.

[EVO 4G General] 063_XOBX:
HTC has been quoted as saying the update was for their European phones first and American later but that might have changed
[EVO 4G General] rutter9:
So how long do you think it will take to have the rooted version of this? 2 days?
[EVO 4G General] 063_XOBX:
I've counted at least 4 but there is going to be a lot of these threads tonight methinks
[EVO 4G General] Sirchuk:
If your rooted then wait a few hours or a day for a rooted version. Otherwise, you just update through settings.

If your already rooted and update it will break root and it may be unrootable after. Best to be patient for a rooted release.

probably faster than 2 days, basically DO NOT UPDATE over the Air if you are already rooted, Just wait for someone here to upload the 2.2 stock rom
[EVO 4G General] 063_XOBX:
It hasn't which is why I'm saying that the Evo will get Froyo after the Desire and Legend

In this page explain all the features coming for the froyo 2.2 (4 pages) .http://www.engadget.com/photos/evo-...s-of-new-features-and-fixes-tomorrow/#3218695

I found that the 720p camcorder support up to 24fps. Mean will be same dam 30fps cap. If said up to 30fps i dont need to worry about.

Same bull%% than 2.1
[EVO 4G General] plmiller0905:
Yeah, I'm going to wait. It was hell to get rooted again after I updated after the previous ota. ;)
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
Agreed. Patience people, patience. If it is released tomorrow, what's a day or two's wait compared to not being able to flash your favorite roms and kernels;or god forsake they take my free wifi tethering! Xda is great, the people on here are great, we'd have a stock rooted rom in no time. And of course, the custom roms we have now will only get awesomer once the official gets released.

[EVO 4G General] twerk:
Supposed froyo coming to evo tomorrow OTA

oops.. sorry didn't see the other thread about it! delete please!
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
If FPS is important to you, why would you want the offical upgrade? Sprint nor HTC is doing anything to change the FPS, so if you want to keep your current higher FPS, don't even try to accept any update. Wait until whatever ROM you are running comes out with the rooted version of the official update and you will have everything the update incorporates, except you will still have a high fps.
[EVO 4G General] hodedofome:
Why would anyone on this forum download the update, it's just gonna break your root. Wait for the developers on this forum to put all the good stuff from this update in their roms and use those to keep your root.
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
But the desire and legend have absolutely nothing to do with the evo. Granted, they are made by the same company but that's where the similarity ends. Sprint is the factor pushing the update; they're the ones in control now of when we get android 2.2. Htc provides the software, it's up to the carrier to release it on time.

Besides, the incredible is getting upgraded very soon but the europeans haven't stopped it from getting it's upgrade.
[EVO 4G General] socjdqcer:
I just rooted my evo using the "simple root ota" last week. And I realized I don't think I really need it rooted after all, even though it was fun to do it lol....anyways, if I update tomorrow(or whenever it happens) what exactly will it do to my phone, will it just unroot it or what?

Thanks Jared
[EVO 4G General] looneylu:
A lot of excitement over possible official 2.2

I haven't seen any of the 2.2 threads that have popped up mention this but

IF YOU UPDATE THROUGH SPRINT, YOU WILL MOST LIKELY LOSE ROOT!!!! THIS IS A WARNING. IF YOU TAKE THE LEAP, DON'T COMPLAIN LATER ON!!!!
[EVO 4G General] munsterrr:
because this is like 6-7 already on XDA alone. usually i defend the people who yell at others for not using search but come on
[EVO 4G General] TorxT3D:
looks like its going to be a race for the devs to recieve the update and make it safe for us rooted folk.

wonder if a new radios/pri/prl will be released as well.
[EVO 4G General] wuclan48:
And hopefully they don't brick your phones. I'd wait a day if you want to download the update and don't care about root just to see what problems arise for others.
[EVO 4G General] looneylu:
lmao!!!! I second this
[EVO 4G General] rutter9:
Please see other 3 threads. Besides, this will most likely be rooted extremely fast.
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
Man noone is gonna listen to your logic. I mean its common sense, but its gonna be just like the last OTA update. People are gonna be so hyper to get it, then will risk it and then come back posting crying messages about has anyone found a new root yet. Watch and see.
[EVO 4G General] looneylu:
impressive speeds... on 4g i've only gotten 4.2 down... wow
[EVO 4G General] rutter9:
Hah it's only because I'm in Center City Philadelphia. Where wimax was "born" essentially. According to Sprint, Philadelphia gets all the upgrades first.
[EVO 4G General] chumba8:
I could give a rats a** about offical 2.2 (we will break root anyway) I personaly hate sense now (I have been running cm6 nightly since it came out) when I loved it about a week ago it slows down the whole system I can still use sprint tv and VVM and ect I have a 48 something linpack have a 55 fps adv and the real froyo launcher with 3d only way I could be ANY happier with offical 2.2 is 4g working thank god! lol
[EVO 4G General] looneylu:
not jealous at all... :mad::o:p;)
[EVO 4G General] VGPOP:
I am not rooted yet. I have been waiting patiently for Froyo 2.2. Does this mean that if I get the update, apply it, and then a week later I want to root my EVO, I won't be able to to do it?

This completely shuts down rooting forever?
[EVO 4G General] cubu213:
Think imma stick with the stock 2.2 when it releases, all the modded roms that i have tried has quirks. i'd rather have a slightly slower, battery hogging, bloated STABLE rom.

hours.....
[EVO 4G General] mrmomoman:

[EVO 4G General] munsterrr:
my past experiences from sprint and htc through winmo and android is usually the opposite of that comment.

if they were perfect and maxed out on performance, battery, etc. We would never need XDA. Always something fun and exciting to make a little better.
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
No matter how many times it is stated to NO DO ANY OTA UPDATES, there will still be those who lose root just to get the update......For those who this applies to, please do not start a million threads asking has anyone got a new root yet, once you lose yours.
[EVO 4G General] wuclan48:
Maybe maybe not. That's the risk you take. I'd wait. Actually I am rooted and will be waiting.
[EVO 4G General] wuclan48:
not to bump another thread on the same subject but I kind of think something like the OP's post should be stickied to the top of every evo forum in big bold letters so people don't have to ask and aren't surprised when they loose root. I'm sure many won't notice it still but it couldn't hurt.
[EVO 4G General] Bang3r:
Replacement EVO is on back-order..2.2 Froyo when it ships?

So, Sprint is sending me a replacement EVO when they get some stock in, but I have a feeling it will ship with 2.2 Froyo. I hope somebody has a root method in place for the new update if it does. Obviously, nobody can start working on that until the official OTA drops, but I hope somebody's thinking about it!

Anyone?
[EVO 4G General] az93civic:
It will come with 2.1
[EVO 4G General] smw6180:

Hope you're right. I was thinking Sprint/HTC might try to lock us down yet again, and make it harder for us as best they can.
[EVO 4G General] redrazr7791:
Exactly!

Mark my words, but when the update does start to roll out and root capability is lost...people will storm this forum with threads like "my phone bricked!" or "I lost my Root WHY?"

Same cr@p happens at MMI or HoFo. New IPSW rolls out and people blindly update their jailbroken iPhones without reading that they will lose their JB or Unlock :rolleyes:

I agree, XDA is here for a reason, when the update releases im going to wait for toast & everyone else to get there hands on it before I update, there going to have some amazing ROMs after this drops. Plus I still want my wireless tether when I update I read it breaks that & most likely your root. So just wait!!!!
