Will There Be A FroYo Port?

[Guest AndyCr15]

Should I take it as Paul has a SGS and there is no FroYo port, there is unlikely to be one in the near future?

While trying this over my N1, I'm surprised how much I miss FroYo :)

Samsung is going to release Froyo for Galaxy S Korean Version in early august. So I think it wont take long to have it on other countries later.

Next to the fact that Samsung is going to release Froyo themselves fairly soon, ports of different android versions take a lot more time than edited firmwares + samsung uses encrypted drivers so its very hard to put different android versions on the phone.

Out of interest, what exactly do you miss from Froyo? The wifi tether and the Apps2SD are taken care of, is it just the Flash browsing that you miss?

Looks like they have released their source (which includes the drivers too):

opensource.samsung.com/mobile/mobile-phone/gt-i9000/

Hopefully it means it will be possible to port the drivers to kernel 2.6.34, and get up and running with Froyo without waiting hopefully :)

maybe the huge performance gain from the new JIT? :)

i thought they released the touchwiz enclosed firmware drivers in the last version too? i thought it was more a task of decrypting the protection on the drivers to modify them for use on kernal 2.6....?

i hope your right though.

No idea what else is needed. Haven't even had a chance to touch the code yet (yesterday, it was downloading at 10kb/s, and died half way). They probably released them ages ago but I didn't notice anyway :angry:

Just thought others who didn't know it was out might be interested to see them

As has been mentioned, one thing is the performance gain. 'Update all' in the market is quite a big one too. I don't mind too much about flash in the browser, but I prefer to know I can if I need...
