Updated via Kies tonight, and it all went without a hitch. . . . .couple of issues with App Brain/market telling me I have pending updates for Google Maps and Adobe Flash, and then throwing a tanty when it tries to install them and discovers they're already up-to-date; I guess that's what you get when you upgrade from Froyo to Froyo, and Kies thinks you have actually had Eclair.

Also, the e-mail notification icon in LauncherPro isn't updating once I've read e-mails.

Very pleased to report the speed is lovely - I turned off the ext4 lagfix on my Doc rom tonight, and it was pretty laggy. . . . .the speed difference is huge on this new rom, but time will tell!

morocco: I upgraded to 2.2 via kies, vodafone store phone ( impulse buy ).

My process was

- Run the Registry Patcher v1.7
- Run Kies
- Attach phone
- In registry patcher, choose VNZ as product code, Write Registry
- Update Firmware in Kies

Relatively painless, though had to download the firmware twice.

got impatient so i used this method, worked fine :)

I'm also impatient and followed this method. Was quick and easy and the update is downloading as I type.

Ditto, couldn't wait for the update, followed the above method, running 2.2 now...

. Some of the Samsung widgets have disappeared, so will have to download and reinstall them.

Hey, does anyone here know how to change the colour associated with a calendar (Exchange calendar in this case) in the SGS Calendar app? For some reason it has been given a maroon/brown colour which makes it very difficult to see on the calendar.

Has anyone found after updating to Froyo that they now seem to be in a different Market region? I have a Galaxy from Telecom and updated a few days ago, but now some of the apps I had (and paid for) are no longer available in the market when I search from the phone, but are still there when I search AppBrain on my PC.

Yep. Whereas I needed Market Enabler to see Navigon prior to the update, I now see it in both AppBrain and the Market app without Market Enabler. But to be fair, I was using a Doc ROM previously and that's a Western Europe based hack so in my case, it figures. The number of available Samsung apps has dropped from 7 to 5 as well.

Galaxy S has gone to its new owner. HTC Sensation has gone to its new
owner. Galaxy S3 has gone to its new owner. Now using Galaxy Note 3. Skipping Note 4 I think...

There's a new Firmware that has been leaked and it's Android 2.2.1 XXJPU, apparently ~1200 Quadrant scores without a lagfix.

Lol I am unsure. I was going to wait till I'd stopped flashing for a bit and see if my battery usage stabilised.

It's indeed way faster, from cold boot it takes ~25secs to start, the whole system seems way more snappier even without a lagfix applied.

I don't think my phone can handle much more flashing now ;)

Now trying out Doc's Version of this, more or less just because I want Backlight Notification and none of the Samsung crap.

CM 6.1 is based on 2.2.1 as well and it is indeed fast.

Cyanogenmod 6.1 does not have the better camera + has bugs galore for the Samsung Galaxy S

I think we need to wait for the kernel source for 2.2.1 to be released before we see a good speedmod kernel for this rom.
