If I have already installed Froyo with the original method, is it possible to simply update the new boot.img file from the new image for better battery life? Will that work?

Great work steve.

Thanks a lot.

Do I still need to replace the build.prop file after I install the latest update.zip?

I find the LCD density set at 180 is about perfect, esp if you have slightly dodgy eyesight but not yet Mr Magoo

agreed! as someone who is 40 next year (how did i get this old?!) i've just tried 180 and it makes for very comfortable reading. i can still see 160 and 140 fine, but for reading reams of RSS feeds i think 180 will do just fine - though, i'm not sure if it's an officially supported res? i know 240 and 160 are supported

I agree 180 is great - and trust me if you think your eyesight is getting bad at 40... just wait - its a rapid downhill slope from here....

OK - todays power test on the original 2.2 beta gave

Charged to 100% left on overnight with juice defender active, wifi off.

10 hours 98%. (on but didn't use it)

11 hours 95% - light use wifi enabled, checked email etc

12 hours 87% - medium use with wifi

20 hours 50% - including 30mins playing flash videos over wifi and downloading a few bits

23 hours 36% - wifi on for the last 3 hours but only light use and a few calls

Will now repeat the same tomorrow on beta 1 to see if there is a difference. I suspect there won't be a lot of difference as it was light use and juice defender was cutting in a lot of the time as I was busy so didn't get time to play.

2.2 beta 1

10 hours 84% probably not quite as charged as yesterday and used it for 10 mins to check a few things....

Can we flash from current 2.2 to version 2 without having to go back to 2.1 first?? I'm assuming drop new update.pkg on phone and go into clockwork recovery right?? ......

That's what I did - no difference seen so far except I needed to reset the build.prop lcd setting, but I wasn't having any problems anyway so no suprise!

Linpack went up by 1 though...

Don't I know it! I think I'm going to have to see where these are stored and make a backup next time.

If u have updated the first froyo update with the update-new.zip you should be able to update over 2.2 but if you have the baseband update (the very first froyo) you will have to go back to 2.1 first as you wont have a phone signal or data after you flash the file.

How long does it take for the Streak to start after the Froyo Installation. Mine has been stuck on Dell Logo for almost 15 minutes now :'(

Any Help Please!!!!

1.6 Clockwork>Stock 1.6>O2 2.1>Baseband & Hyde 2.2>O2 2.1 Clockwork>R.2 Hyde 2.2 So far so good. I don't know how I feel about not seeing the status bar and sliding the menu make me feel like Iphone again. All in all looks good so far. I'll be happy if my battery isn't drained 3x a day.

It wipes the apps and settings. You'll need to restore everything. Titanium helps. Everything is running great here on the new load. GPS is super fast to lock now. Battery seems to be dropping slow and will know for sure in the AM.
