I didn't notice a difference. I have a theme applied now though, or I would get it for you.

Anyone notice that FROYO takes up 60MB additional internal memory? Thats a friggin' lot!! Is there a way to free some up? I like to have at least half free if possible

Only asked because some stated "New", wasn't sure if it had been changed.

Well, I've put SPRecovery on my Droid.

I forgot to make a nandroid folder on the SD, however SPR made one when it attempted a default simple namdroid backup.

I renamed that folder 2.1-OEM-Backup, and copied the nandroid folder back to my pc for redundancy.

I extracted the froyo recovery to my desktop and placed into the nandroid folder.

Now sitting at the SP screen, and think I screwed up, wanted to look at the restore, went to advanced restore, and expected it to show me a folder, it went to "restoring ....."

Oh crap.



Props to Hookbill, who's been on the sidelines with me sort of...

Ok, I think i'm safe, because while restoring, it does say unpacking data image, and I know from looking at the froyo contents, that didnt have a data file, while my backup did ...

Did you click choose backup or perform restore?

 

[RW-1]

Restore, but I thinnk I'm safe, it unpacked data files, and I know the froyo didnt have one ...

 

[RW-1]

Hey, at least it's nice to see that I get all my stuff back with a restored backup hehehe ...

 

[hookbill]

Did you give Froyo a name so you could identify it when you do the install?

 

[RW-1]

I gott with Tank by Gtalk, now I know how to select the backup in SPR, I have my 2.1 backup folder and the froyo one, so I can bounce between the two.

I left the froyo one as the froyo-BS- date time. I'll rename later in astro.

And as I understand it, kernels just get update.zip and go inthe SD card root, then allow update install ....

Phones ringing, I might have to delay my plunge ... Lastly hook, at least if I go to this one and dont unroot, then I should get the OTA eh?

That's what everybody is telling me, yes.

I don't think so Miami. You would have to uninstall SPRecovery for the OTA wouldn't you?

Nope, I have Sprecovery and was getting the 2.1 update popups and I was on a custom Rom at the time.

But Matth3w says you can't if you have SPRecovery installed!!!

Could he have been wrong?

I was runnign bb and had the 2.1 update in the background and I moved the otacertsz file and what not which did block the update but I restored to an earlier poiint so the update came through again which I then allowed the update and sprecovery blocked the install. so while you recieve the notice sprecovery def blocked the install of 2.1 without moveing the otacerts file.
Im not arguing or saying that sprecovery will block 2.2 because I dont know whats in 2.2 if it can get around sprecovery btu thats from my experience
