Awesome news!

rigglemania

Where does one find the new cwr?

This is very exciting news, but honestly I've invested so much time into getting my DJ05 build "just right" that I really can't see myself bothering with this until it's been brought up to community standards

The new CWM can be downloaded here. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11670464/new_cwm.zip

How do I install the new CWM? Just install it through CWM?

nitsuj17

its a flashable zip

This is great news! I will have to mess around this a little later.

As a newbie to the root crowd is there a step by step instruction to get this loaded. I checked out the How to Root posting but honestly its confusing as it looks to be so many choices I don't know where to begin. Basically I just want to put 2.2 on a standard build. I've been holding off jumping into the root game as this is my first smartphone, I am in Verizon country and was holding out for the Iphone, glad I didn't wait Being my first smartphone I've been just tinkering along and enjoying it for what it is. Now I want to make it my own so I guess rooting is the next step in the evolution of ownership.

nitsuj17

to get to 2.2 from stock dl09 or whatever

1. root
2. download cwr
3. flash cwr in odin and rom manager
4. download froyo and froyo cwr..put them on your sdcard
5. boot into cwr, flash new cwr, then the rom...wipe data/cache before rebooting....
6. reboot
7. enjoy (oh you will loose data obviously, so you might want to consider backing up apps and app data with titanium backup)

dmbfan13

What version of CWM does this take it to?

nitsuj17

the one that is linked a few posts back

wowser

Now we just need to wait for a clean,de-binged,etc... ROM

nitsuj17

you can set the search widget to google or yahoo if you dont want bing...the browser bar will still default to bing, but i had pulled the browser from the first nonvzw leak and im using that anyway

Spaniard85

Sweet!!!!

wowser

Good info, thanks. I'm still going to hold off on installing this until it's beat up some more by the community. However this has been a long time coming!

Bob-o

Do we just d/l it and flash in current cwr that we have? And then flash 2.2 rom. Does it come with everything in the 2.2 rom? (Kernel and rom)

the dl30 file packages a kernel in

Bob-o

So to get 2.2, we have to get the new cwr then flash that in our current cwr, then d/l 2.2 and flash that and its done?

nitsuj17

just make sure to have the new cwr and froyo downloaded to flash back to back in cwr...doesnt matter which is first...just dont flash froyo and reboot unless you have new cwr flashed....imnuts packaged them together for simplicity:

http://goo.gl/yXkHF all credit to him on that

rigglemania

So the browser has a search engine option now but ignores it and uses bing anyway? WTF Verizon?

nitsuj17

the option allows you to change the search widget/search button to another search provider...but in my limited experience with it (i ditched it right away) the browser search bar couldnt be changed

skipster

If I'm on DI01, do I have to do anything else?

Quick question. So this leak uses the DL09 radio right? My only gripe with the Fascinate is that i get pretty bad reception in areas that i used to have no problems with my blackberry. A couple guys at work also bought the Fascinate after i did, and they get 3-4 bars consistently whereas i get just 1-2 bars (and my Cell Standby-Time without a signal percentage is in the 70% range while theirs is about 5%).

I'm pretty convinced it's a hardware thing, but I'd be interested in hearing back if people are noticing improved reception with Froyo.

Bob-o

So if I download that pack from imnuts, just flash that and its done? That has the new cwr in it too and flashes it as well?

nitsuj17

as long as you dont have voodoo then the procedure is the same

Crucial

To my understanding, there's no radio with this, it's just a rom and a kernel. So it doesn't matter which radio I use (assuming only DL09 or DJ05).

I guess my real question is, does either radio have any benefit over the other. I've been on DL09, but if DJ05 has a better GPS lock or something I'll flash that on instead since it doesn't really seem to matter.

skipster

I have a voodoo kernel, but voodoo is disabled.

nitsuj17

dj05/dl09 radio is fine...its not ideal as battery life isnt fantastic...but it works

nitsuj17

then your fine

rigglemania

Anybody else checked out the new keypad Samsung added in this release? It's actually pretty nice.

Bob-o

Does 2.2 come with a black status bar? That's nice. So nit, if I flash the new cwr in my current cwr, I just wipe data and cache, then flash 2.2 leak, I'm good to go? Do any theme work on this yet? Is it deodexed? Thanks

rigglemania

Is it just me or is there no longer an option for text size in the browser settings?

nitsuj17

yeah its not too shabby...i had it for awhile when it was pulled from the captivate...its pretty good for a stock keyboard

i believe its deodexed...ive had it for a couple days and the version i got was predeodexed...so id imagine its the same way...but yes your procedure is right assuming ur not on voodoo

rigglemania

Depends on your definition of black I guess... it's not solid black like GB, but it's definitely a very dark charcoal grey.

bskidz79

Nits, I just have to say you are incredibly patient and awesome for helping all us "less tech savvy" folks out. Just saying you are much appreciated!

Bob-o

I'm not on voodoo. Its still downloading. Lol its biiiiig. Could you see if it is deodexed nit? If it is, what themes work on it or are none made for it yet? Thanks id see if it is deodexed but I don't know who to ask other theman you! :P. Lol

92GreenGT

I love it, trying out Nits new ported theme right now. It seems MUCH better in terms of how everything works. Once the new ROM's coming out using this as a base, going to be killer.

Many thanks to everyone in the phone community who makes this kind of stuff happen!!!!

Basically all the old themes/kernels can be deleted now since everything from this point on will be based on 2.2 stuff, correct?

lasportsfan

Thanks. I tried to flash from jts rom earlier and had to get reacquainted with odin it had been a while.

Can't wait for all the new roms and themes.

nitsuj17

the internet where im at is too slow atm to download a file that big that i already have...but im fairly certain its deodexed as people are flashing matted blues over it with no problem...im sure others will drop themes now too

nitsuj17

DuoWing

nitsuj I saw you mentioned about the browser, I have a browser install zip I had been using with 2.1 it was a cleaned up browser I found over on xda or someone posted here at one point. Is that what you're using to get rid of the browser defaulting to bing or is there another one?

Bob-o

Only use 2.2 themes in the theme thread right?

skipster

OK, last question.... is it required to get to a DL09 or DJ05 radio to do this, or can I stay on the original stock radio?

DuoWing

Well if you got the OTA update you'd be on the DL09 radio anyway. I haven't heard of anyone using the DI01 radio, so yes you'll need the DJ05 or DL09 if you don't have it, but you probably already do.

dragonzsoul

Do Any of the jt kernels work with this?

This is what I wanted to hear. =)

Now all we need are some imnuts voodoo kernel's and i'll be all set.

or won't 2.2 benefit from ext4? I'd assume it would.

dragonzsoul

Where?

Crucial

There's a blackhole 4.0 DL30 Rom too!

Edit: I lied, I should have read the post first. He's working on a Blackhole rom.
