Also noticed in the setup screen the one here doesnt mention AOSP anywhere and the one at the link does.

Are you editing the startup.txt and changing the rhod400 to rhod500? I know this is mostly a distinction for the keyboard, but possible it might be the problem. I know some other Verizon people are getting it to run.

Some of the differences from the AOSP (like on the first page) and Sense versions are that the Sense versions add the ability to connect to Exchange, save email attachments and a couple of other minor things like weather, better text and messaging interface. The one in the link you provided is very similar to the Sense version I put, but it takes much longer to install, but has an update utility to update the zImage, rootfs and other files.

I like the Sense as it has Mail support for Exchange.
How do I get the exchange support on AOSP build?

The other is the AOSP version that is smaller, faster and somewhat more stable. This one is provided by 00_MACKIE_00. Mackie has been busy, so I took the liberty to update his build to the latest stable zImage, rootfs and modules. Here is his builds...

Android 05.21.10.zip

or his last one before of

Android 05.12.10.zip

I think that the Mackie version is a better one to start with to be up and running the quickest.

You would need to find a third party app, some of them seem to work from what others have said.

Hey guys,
Sorry if this is a repost but im driving to VEGAS atm... LOL i know i shouldnt be using my phone... Anywayz, i installed froyo and it works fine but when i update, and start android it gets the the screen lock screen of the droid OS and then reboots... any ideas on how to fix this?

Okay well I'm going to be laughed at for this. If I use any of the older 2.1 builds, I am able to install Storm8 games and play them using my own unique account (I think it's based off of device ID). However If I install a fresh 2.2 with no old data file there's already an existing Storm8 account loaded into the game Vampires Live. If I bring over my old data file from 2.1, I can continue to play on my account however the Market doesn't work. Any ideas on what I might be able to do?

No matter what build,version,all files on a freshly formatted FAT32 SD or all the files in andbootS.NOTHING works for me & I just can't understand why.I'd love to have this but clearly there's forces greater than myself at work here.
