Ok so right now I'm running the leaked 2.2, rooted, deodexed, themed and all that fun stuff. When the official 2.2 comes I plan on sbf'ing back to 2.1 to get that update since I am having a couple small issues with the leak.
Questions are, since deodexing worked on the leak it should work the same way on the official right?
to re-root, it sounds like people have been having luck using the droid 2 method in adb, so I should be able to run that to get root back?
Themes for the leaked 2.2 should also work for the official 2.2 too?
Or is this the same "we dont know till it actually comes" issue?

We don't know until it actually comes out. I'm just going to wait until it gets posted on the forums since it will probably be up shortly after it gets pushed to enough phones. I'm currently having great luck with the 2.3.13 build.

ok, if it is the "we dont know yet" thing a mod can just lock this up and throw it away lol.
Just trying to do a little preemptive planning lol. I'm actually really enjoying the 2.2 I've got right now. like I said, the couple issues I have are very minor for me. One nice thing is since Verizon said theres no path from the leaked to the official I dont have to worry about it trying to update itself when it does come. I can still enjoy my froyo until people find out how to tweak the official, THEN get mine lol

This is probably the best course of action. Sure, you may get the "official" update a week later than when it is first available, but a modded, optimized version will certainly be available, and rooted.

And if themes don't work with it initially, they will be updated (though I doubt they will need to be).
