Grab any of the 2.2 ROMs with Touchwiz, and just pull the apks for the ones you want from /system/app. You can install them with root explorer or by pushing them with adb.

[Venue Pro General] richlee111:
Today, I was able to get some vague, but confirmed information from Dell's chief blogger in regards to an upcoming upgrade for the DVP. Lionel, who is the chief blogger/front man for a lot of their service/support information has been a pretty reliable source in my dealings.

More or less we twitted back and forth and he confirmed for me that this update is coming soon for our device. He was not able to give any timeframe, but at least he confirmed for me that an update is coming.

So for all of you with all these different issues regarding freezing, wi-fi, and performance, they will be resolved with this update. We'll see(cross my fingers).
[Venue Pro General] Wonderstruck80:
Any idea if camera performance will be fixed with any updates?
[Venue Pro General] jessej:
Very good news! I spoke with one of the Dell Mobility agents today and they have now been given an official problem/resolution list with upcoming bug fixes (no solid dates that I was given) there were a couple of items mentioned that had been resolved but not released. The list was extensive and included multiple items for the camera, wifi, bluetooth, speaker quality etc... Ask one of the reps to go over the list with you, they were good enough to look it up and read over a good portion of it after I told them I had already received multiple replacements and just needed confirmation that they were addressing the issues I had mentioned previously.
[Venue Pro General] notoriousabe00:
I called and asked the same thing. They said "Microsoft" is working on a fix. Had no other information....What details did they give you?
[Venue Pro General] richlee111:
No details, just that the update will have both the OS updates as well as fixes to problems for our phone.

I did find this post over in the WP7 general forum about Microsoft being involved in fixing some of these problems for the DVP:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=939086

Seeing as how WP7's hardware and software are supposed to be standardized, this does kind of make sense.
[Venue Pro General] alodar1:
I kind of downplay this. We all know something is coming for windows phone. And, generic fixes will help the Dell, because the chassis is built to specs all phones have. So some basic fixes, performance fixes, general common fixes, should occur. But specific Dell fixes, I extremely doubt. Dell released too late to be included. That's my guess.
[Venue Pro General] joltcoder:
While i know nothing about timelines I am without doubt that there are dell people working on this problem. I'm confident that it will be resolved sooner rather than later.
[Venue Pro General] alodar1:
While this is true....remember, it was only a few short weeks ago, or even yesterday, this forum was talking about Dell support being liars, cheats, thiefs and worthless. Now, these same people have this wonderful piece of information.

While I welcome any fix that comes, they most likely read it on engadget or something, and applied the logic, everyone phone will get some fixes to issues. Duh.

Remember once again....the reason for the delay in shipping the Dell in the first place, is still at the heart of the problems now. WiFi, SD cards, and other performance issues are all Dell based, not MS based. And, I suspect, that Dell must submit them to MS to be included in any update. This is not to say that MS doesn't have some work to do too. But, IMO, what troubles the DELL, is most likely owned by DELL.

Based on previous releases, then applying what you can read on other Tech sites, I would guess an update is more likely a March April thing, than a January February thing. Though, I can hope.
[Venue Pro General] citrix80:
anybody know when will the update coming exactly? I have been search through google and some news says if coming on feb 7, then say it coming in march. is the is kind annoying.

will the update coming from microsoft or dell? would dell modify it update for dell made phones?
[Venue Pro General] KilZone:
Microsoft hasn't made an official statement about the release date of the update yet. I think they will announce a definite date during the keynote (next monday 4PM GMT+1). As from there it is either that they are going to annouce that it will be downloadable 'as of right now' or later that month (early March), so I would say the estimate of 8 March might be quite accurate.

This I can shed a little more light on. Microsoft has a 3-part update system in place, namely Microsoft (OS-updates), OEM (firmware-updates) and Carier (software-updates). The last one (as well as OEM apps) are done through marketplace, which we are quite used to now. The first two (OS- and firmware-updates) go through Zune and can be installed separately. This means that if Dell would release a firmware-update now, you could download and install it without altering the OS part of the device (as is the other way around with OS-updates).

However, knowing Microsoft for quite some time now, they probably try to minimize the updates you have to install. They do not want you to install an OS-update now, and a firmware-update next week. So they are probably bundling Microsoft and OEM updates in one single package, which might be the cause of the delay (rumored that Dell is fixing some issues in the next update). I do not really understand that tactic, but they are doing it for over 10 years now (think of Patch-Tuesday). In my opinion they should have released copy & paste, as soon as it was finished. Then release the speed update as separate one, this way people tend to think Microsoft's is really into Windows Phone 7. They are now too, but okay... anyway, that you didn't ask for.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] genzopwns:
so for the past month my screen has been dead when it is in portrait mode. it would only turn on if i open my keyboard in landscape mode. if i close the keyboard the screen will freeze. the screen is still responsive in portrait mode though, for example, i can still slide to unlock even though the screen is off. i also can't turn on the phone unless it's the keyboard is on til i get to the lock screen.

also my phone has been restarting itself a lot this past month. usually i notice it does it when i walk and it's in my pocket. but it also happens even when i'm just using the phone, it'll randomly restart itself.

is there any solution to my problems or is it a lost cause?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussiehairspray:
This sounds like a ROM/overclocking issue. If you're overclocking, turn your levels down a little bit. Flash a different ROM if that's not the case. And if neither of those work, rip her open and check and make sure everything is in their proper place. There are guides online that you can google.

[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
Well, it is a newer phone.. and new features are being worked on everyday... sometimes we just have to understand that the EVO isn't always gonna have everything when technology moves as fast as it does.
[EVO 4G General] themuffinman:
Are you serious? The evo been out for 8 friggin months and the htc inspire hasn't even been released yet and you getting mad at sprint? Damn you funny as hell, if anything att customers should be the one going wtf? Since after almost a year after the evo been in our hands they are only now getting a similar phone with slightly marginal specs.
[EVO 4G General] klquicksall:
Yes this is really the EVO2
[EVO 4G General] _MetalHead_:
Nah, that's definitely not the EVO2, more like the EVO+. It's the same phone, just with a couple minor upgrades.
[EVO 4G General] SteveDusa:

[EVO 4G General] klquicksall:

[EVO 4G General] Dissenter:
I'm sorry... what part of this phone other than software is better than the EVO? Looks about the same to me (maybe more storage lol)
[EVO 4G General] klquicksall:
4g internal. Hopefully Sprint will come out with something better than the thunderbolt.
[EVO 4G General] themuffinman:
Of course they will, the inspire and the thunderbolt are the same phones in which both are basically a carbon copy of the evo which been out for 8 months with the exception of a few differences(mainly updated snapdragon and the newer version of sense). Anyway, sprint has too much riding on the evo name than to come out with an evo 2 with half assed specs.
[EVO 4G General] Drewmungus:
I thought we were the HD2+!
[EVO 4G General] _MetalHead_:
It's got a better processor (MSM8255 45nm vs the EVO's QSD8650 65nm), more internal memory, MUCH better screen (SLCD), and Sense 2.0.

It's a better device, no question.
[EVO 4G General] Android 17:
It's a better phone to be sure, but not a huge upgrade from the EVO. Though it's always nice to have choice, I'm sure some AT & T users would prefer another Sense phone.

I use it to video chat on Tango with my wife, my sister, and my parents all the time. Plus soon Skype will be doing mobile to desktop video chat and it will really blow up. I'd never get a phone with no FFC these days.
[EVO 4G General] jacoballen22:
The only difference I saw was EVO can tether 8 devices and the other phone only five.
[EVO 4G General] bjb_nyj101:
I too have never used the FFC (bought the evo in august).

I don't even know if it works :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
It's internal memory is four times the size of the Evos, I'm sure that makes the new sense much easier to fit on there.
[EVO 4G General] cdszoke:
That made me laugh out loud. Nice iphone reference.
[EVO 4G General] uniquenameevo:
Marginally better, but I agree. Hopefully being GSM and different screen tech will make up for the smaller battery.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say who cares? If I packed my car with people and they all wanted to tether I'd only be one connection short (car seats seven and I would be driving and not in need of tethering). I can't think of a situation besides that where I would want to provide for that many devices.

I hope it's more useful someday. For now, I would have been fine with the evo not having it, as long as it makes it into my next phone when it's more usable.
[EVO 4G General] jacoballen22:
You are right, I don't really care, I was just trying to find a difference. All in all the EVO will always be the first of it's kind despite that showoff hd2.
[EVO 4G General] Bigjim1488:
Nothing to get all crazy about. I have my cloud its called dropbox. As for it being faster its true but I'm not upgrading my evo till HTC comes out with a dual core phone. That's the next leap in speed IMO.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkk69:
Let me say this right off the bat the devs here are the best. I haven't tried any of the custom ROMs but from what I've read most people are happy with them.

So having said that I am wondering if Samsung / Sprint actually recruited the devs to help them make the best ROM available would it make the Android releases go faster?

My gut instincts tells me no. The devs here do it for the love of what they do and do it for free. I have to admire the talents and inspiration being put into the custom ROMs that we may never see in production releases due to the custom crap they put into it in hopes it all works.

Apple do have an advantage over this but still hinders innovation.

Bottom line is devs keep up the good work despite of us *****in at Sprint / Samsung about 2.2 and beyond. :)
