Android 2.2 ROMs for the Samsung Vibrant Are Here, Epic 4G Coming Soon?
Looks like Android 2.2 for the Samsung Vibrant has been leaked to some of XDA’s premier developers as they’ve been quietly whipping up a nice batch of Froyo for all of you tired of your chocolaty Eclair. The first one is made by community-loved Team Whiskey, called Obsidian. It’s based on build number JK2. Here’s the well-written description that they use to draw you in:
Obsidian is the first release of Android 2.2, Froyo, from Team Whiskey. Obsidian is a build that follows closely to its sibling releases. A fast, effecient, power house thats sure to please the daily driver and power user alike. Weve combined a number of current revision technologies built into Fusion and Bionix with the speed and power of JIT. To you, the user, this means fast reflexes and quick transitions, its where your phone intersects and design meets speed.
We took the Bionix that you’ve enjoyed so much and incorporated the Android 2.2, Froyo, experience you’ve been dying for. Welcome to Obsidian.
There’s also talk that the Epic 4G update got pushed out to a few select individuals, but those folks aren’t even confident of its stability, saying it’d be a mistake to release it in its current state. Ouch. Hopefully Samsung’s not taking development lightly because that would be a very unfortunate miscue for such a desired rollout.
