Guest craigcrawford1988 Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 (edited) Today at I/O, our annual developer conference, we announced Android 2.2. Codenamed Froyo (for frozen yogurt), this seventh update to the Android platform brings some great new functionality to users (things like making your handset a portable hotspot and support for Adobe Flash within the browser), along with new tools for developers. Read more about the specifics of Froyo on our Android Developer Blog. :rolleyes: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/and...-sprinkles.html Edited May 20, 2010 by craigcrawford1988 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Normola Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 :rolleyes: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/05/and...-sprinkles.html Apps on external storage Applications can now request installation on the shared external storage (such as an SD card). I wonder if you can *tell* apps where to go, rather than them have to request it... Android platform highlights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HustlinDaily Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 I wonder if you can *tell* apps where to go, rather than them have to request it... Android platform highlights Yes. At the I/O (saw on Youtube), app will download wherever space is appropriated. AND you can go to manage applications and move it between internal storage and sd card at any time.

AND you can go to manage applications and move it between internal storage and sd card at any time. I know was watching that, looks sooo cool. My only question is, after we get the update will we be able to root those ROMS? Fully? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest klutsh Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 My thought's about 2.2 and root, is... Don't flash it until a Dev has managed to root it first :rolleyes: I'm sure it will be possible, for all current devices, thing's will get harder when new devices start shipping with 2.2 on them.

Don't flash it until a Dev has managed to root it first :D I'm sure it will be possible, for all current devices, thing's will get harder when new devices start shipping with 2.2 on them. Screw the root. It probably wont be needed! :rolleyes: I would gladly sacrifice root for a couple of weeks/months for Froyo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest craigcrawford1988 Posted May 22, 2010 Report Share Posted May 22, 2010 (edited) have google released it yet, or have they just announced that its in development and nearly finished? chris It's released to developers. You can download the kernel, SDK, etc in other words. This means it's close to being on phones. Edited May 22, 2010 by craigcrawford1988 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
