Android 2.2: where can I download it from?

I have EVilEris4.0. Should I switch to Froyo one?

Froyo is the latest update to the Android Operating System. It adds several functions just as the 2.1 update did from the 1.5. I go back and forth with wanting to have Froyo on my phone, because I just seem to get better battery and faster performance out of good 2.1 ROMs. I'm sure that Verizon has released a list of features that have been updated on 2.2 (Froyo). Many of the features are now being incorporated into the 2.1 ROMs through developer customizations.

Right now, I'm using Nonsensikal Froyo.

HTC has made it clear that the Eris will never officially recieve Android 2.2 (aka froyo).

As stated above, rooting your phone, and upgrading to any of the froyo roms is your only choice if you want to keep up with the pack.

KaosFroyo
CelebFroyo
TazzFroyo

each of those are stable, and working without any real issues, i've been switching between each and haven't found which one I want to stick with. I put my wife on Kaos, while I'm on Celeb, just to put each phone head to head and they perform equal.

I have KaosFroyo but not sure which version, how do I tell? Which version is the latest?
The only little complaint I have is that the email icon and the text icons do not have the little indicator showing the number of unread messages.

simplest way is to check the ROM you left on your SDCard using whatever file manager you have.

Kaos is on v29 right now which came out on 08-13-10 (just 5 days old!)

Cool. I just saw that I have the latest version. But now I'm not so sure if it performs better than EvilEris. That ROM seemed very nice as well. I heard there was an MMS problem with it but I didn't check it for myself to see if that was in fact the case.

If you use Launcher Pro and put those two icons in the dock you can have it tell you the number of unread messages on both of them. It will even tell you the number of unread texts if you use Handcent.

It's not celeb froyo, it's CELB froyo. Cyanogen Eris Lightning Bolt.
