Froyo ROM for the Droid now released :D Updated 6-8-10

[blazingwolf]

mydroidworld.com has dropped a Froyo ROM today. Apparently the only thing not working is WiFi (removed to protect the source) but I can't imagine that it will be much longer before that is working also.

You can download and read more here: http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/m...ola-droid.html

Droidforums.net has it posted also: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dro...se-thread.html

New version released last night. Fixes some issues with Market Apps and other things. There is also a new baseband available.

I came here to say just this... I am curious what kind of linpack results people get with this. I would imagine the JIT compiler would be hardware specific.

Not sure yet as I haven't read anything about it. People are saying that they are getting Quadrant scores of 1100 though. I will be playing with this later on tonight so If you don't see something by then I'll let you know.

Some posted Linpack scores. Not done by me but a member from droidforums.


Also, WiFi has been fixed but mydroidworld is offline at the moment. I'll post once I see it up and running again.

Here is a cached page for the new kernels: http://webcache.googleusercontent.co...-wifi-fix.html

I am running this @ 1.0 GHz and I am watching SNL on Hulu right now. I can't wait until can get this themed and get rid of that horrible stock notification bar.

There is a theme already in progress. Looks pretty good too.

I can't wait. I have been hiding my notification bar with Launcher Pro, Home++ style.

How did you get hulu to work? I tried setting the UAString to desktop. Does it work in some alternative browser or something?

If you use xScope Lite, you don't have to mess with the UAstring stuff every time. Just go into the settings and set the user agent to computer and plugin/flash to on.

The UAString thing made it work for a little while but now Hulu figured out how to block Android devices regardless of whether your browser is set to Desktop or not. I haven't tried in other browsers though, like xScope (as Bunsen mentions above).
