Ta muchly.

Everything working fine, as before flashing?

Yea, it's perfect.

Psypher5 · 13 May 2010 at 14:04

with flash support, could we expect some crazy ui interfaces? or cant it be used to that effect?

Thanks, will try later. Just need a new back cover without the orange logo now.

flash will be very cpu-intensive on mobile devices, flash-enhanced UI's doubly so.

Ok this is going to sound like a dumb question, but in my options I have "Show flash on websites" am I missing somthing?

What does 2.2 have to do with flash?

There is no full Flash implementation on Android. Yet. HTC have built Flash-lite into Sense so you can see some Flash items (eg some, but not all, videos).

Wifi tethering IS on 2.2.

Whoever said there hasn't been any major changes since 1.5 = :rolleyes:

Just flashed. Was straight forward and I've got 78mb free instead of 15mb now! :eek:

New features are always welcome, but hopefully they're working on smarter power usage & energy saving as well - battery life on the current crop of smartphones is apalling! Wouldn't want to be lost in the jungle with one

Excellent

Jamesbcd · 14 May 2010 at 09:50

Nevermind, 30mb. Forgot to install some apps. Still an improvement though.

i have an orange branded desire, when are we likely to see 2.2?

LiE · 14 May 2010 at 10:28

Depends how long it takes Orange to take 2.2 and stick their rubbish on it.

The Asgard · 14 May 2010 at 11:28

Sounds like this will improve battery life a fair bit.

BananaDunka · 14 May 2010 at 11:29

2.2 is quite a major update so I'd imagine most carriers will be stepping up the release times.

Who knows...... Hero owners may even get a nice surprise

I would like to see you get a signal in the Jungle with one first!

Producing 40 MFLOPS on a Nexus using Linpack instead of 7.4 I'm getting on my OC Nexus is no small increase, that's in line with the 450% improvement they're claiming. This will surely do wonders for underpowered phones, G1 I'm looking at you here.

Can't wait

Anyone know of where I can stream the 2 keynotes from Google I/O, I'm sure I saw that it was possible, I just forgot to note the link
