I am running  01B and was wondering........

If I d/l the 74mb FRG22 update can I rename it to update.zip and then apply it to my phone? As it would be done to apply the 01B d/l...

Will this work and update me to FRG22 or am I mistaken. I am not wanting to root my phone....want to keep it stock..Thanks

It looks like the official release will be FRG01b so Verizon won't be supporting the newer FRG22.  FRG22 is slightly faster but other than that, they're pretty much the same so you're probably better off sticking with 01b if you want to remain stock.

It was rumored that they were going to switch to the FRG22 as the official update but that doesn't look like the case since people are getting 01b now.

Hopefully they will send the patch to upgrade to FRG22.

I am having the home screen freeze issue that others are talking about....

and my battery was going quick but that seems to have fixed itself....maybe the facebbok update fixed it??

besides that 2.2 is great and I love it....

You may want to try ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro.  The stock launcher is worthless.

There is now an update available that will allow non-rooted phones to run FRG22.

 

Non-rooted, my OS version.

 

Android Version: 2.2

Baseband Version: C_01.43.01P

Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9-g874c292 android-build@apa26 #1

Build Number: FRG22D

Just me being skeptical, but you got a pic or something as proof? Maybe a link would be nice too.

 

I've seen a bunch of pics with rooted phones running FRG22, and from what I've read in most forums, this build actually fixes a lot of the issues present in FRG01B.

 

It's kinda funny, but my phone's performance has been improving day by day. There are some bugs that show up from time to time (like Twitter... dunno if that's been fixed yet) but overall it's been great. I think the only reason one would want FRG22 is to be able to see Flash 10.1 in the market... I think.

Why are you skeptical?  The manual update is already available and the OTA is supposed to be rolling out now.

As for fixing issues, 22D isn't going to do much as it's only 1.3MB in size.  The only thing it does is make Flash visible in the market and adds a couple security changes for activesync

Do you happen to know the details of the security issues being updated with Active Sync with this upgrade?

OK, horrible picture, sorry. The only other camera that I have here is the webcam, so I just held the camera in front of it and did a screen capture.

I had a small issue after the update with Exchange mail not pushing anymore. Deleted my account and re-created it, now it seems to be working fine.

I downloaded and installed the patch last night.  Installed the release version of Flash.  I have not noticed any difference at all verses the FRG01B.  The beta of Flash work perfectly for me.  The only persistant issues my Droid has are the random dropping of WiFi and the black screen after a phone call ends.  Both seem to be happening with less frecuency since the first upgrade, FRG01B.

FRG22D is already rolling out OTA. I got it last night. It is the official final release of 2.2. It's a very small file that doesn't overwrite the FRG01. It installs over it so you can see the flash player in the market. Although, Beta version works fine and it's a much smaller file.

Sure, how about straight from Verizon: http://support.vzw.com/pdf/system_update/moto_droid.pdf

 

They are pushing a 1.6 MB update that brings the FRG01B to FRG22D.

Still waiting for FRG01B ....  Will I not get FRG22 until I get 01B first?

yeah, I'm pretty sure you'll need FRG01B first since 22D is just a small patch rather than a full update.  Make sure you don't have a task killer installed and then go to settings-about phone-system update

All this update is so that you can download flash player from the market. Nothing special.

And FRG22 (Android 2.2) takes away any semblance of a functioning exchange email app.  🙂  The Verizon auto upgrade arrived yesterday morning and everything seems fine except the interface to exchange email causing the email app to crash.  I sent in a report for the moment. . .tried various ways to re-establish the excange connection - no go.  Other email services are fine.
