Motorola DROID jumps into high gear thanks to a leaked Android 2.2 Froyo ROM
There are some perks associated to being one of Android's biggest supporter in gaining market share among the competition as the good news keeps on rolling in for Motorola DROID owners. Now that most owners are getting comfy with Android 2.1 on their handsets, there is even better news now that the handset is getting treated to an ice cold dessert that's sure to give most owners a stomach full of goodness. There is a leaked Android 2.2 Froyo ROM that's now available courtesy of MyDroidWorld which comes packing with root and SuperUser permissions to make the venerable smartphone still look fresh among the competition. Everything looks to be working perfectly except for Wi-Fi that's been omitted to “protect the original source.” So if you're feeling a little bit adventurous, you can check it out to get yourself situated with the latest version of the platform. If you decide to not jump the gun with this offering, then just be prepared to wait out or sign up for email updates regarding the official Android 2.2 Froyo update.

"Patients Pay" Yes they do. At the hospital. However having PATIENCE while your at the hospital or waiting for an OTA upgrade is better. Sincerely, The Grammar Police "Huked on foniks werked fer me!"

If I'm reading this right, it is saying that Wi-Fi doesn't work? And I'm not sure how that would ""protect the original source""??? I like my Wi-Fi for tethering and media sharing with my PS3 via Twonky, not sure I would want FroYo without those, deff wait for complete version.

I was thinking the same thing, can someone elaborate on "protect the original source"?

11. deschats posted on 06 Jun 2010, 13:22

it only doesnt work if you dont flash another kernel. now my wifi works cause i flashed the 1.2 ghz

How did you keep root? I loaded the 2.2 ROM and the 1.2ghz kernel but it keeps saying i'm not rooted anymore??

8. lovebuzz posted on 06 Jun 2010, 09:21

Those that are just so desperate to get this update are just asking for it if you install this leaked version. Is it really worth voiding your warranty or possibly screwing up your phone for good?

10. cc16177 posted on 06 Jun 2010, 10:00

The idea of "voiding your warranty" is completely bogus... I've had two warranty replacements for my Droid and both times the phone was rooted and very obviously NOT stock. Also, it's almost impossible to screw up a Droid "for good" because there are several ways to essentially reformat the phone.

it works great. launcher works perfectly in portrait and landscape, 1.2 ghz (thats the kernel im using) and all the perks of FROYO :)

I can't wait to get off work to throw this shit on...
