@ Aitese

I'd love to have that feature on my phone - thought it was going to come as a package with the froyo update but it didnt

Think its only for Nexus one (froyo?). Anyone have the apk for that?

Hey, does anybody know if the wifi supports the n standart with FroYo?

I just wanted to confirm that the updated HTC Car Panel is missing from the released OTA update.

What I'm talking about is the following:

So far I've seen people claim the "Car Dock" works and then instructions that give me the following:

As you can see, Car Dock is shown by a lock icon and there are additional Dock settings.

These do not bring up the panel shown above.

Can anyone fill me in?

Those settings only appear for me when the phone is docked and within them is the option to run Car Panel automatically when docked but no such app starts. It's missing from the installed apps by default.

I installed that app manually and it's working just like 2.1 (rooted HTC 2.2 ROM). You can go to settings and when docked, it will launch automatically.

Another browser change: embedded YouTube videos are no longer redirected to the YouTube player, but you have to watch them embedded in the page, using Flash.
A much worse experience, IMO.

Yep, I've noticed this too. A step backwards

Runs fine but apart from the bling, it can't match the HTC gallery in anything.

I wouldn't be so sure. I downloaded the N1 3D Gallery primarily for Picasa sync. If you use Picasa and multiple accounts, 3D gallery is a must.

What a great thread.

I have found one problem:
In a "stock"(clean) froyo there was an option to vibrate when there is a new notification only when phone is in silent mode. I can't find that option, I have only found it on gmail app, but no in messaging settings or sound settings

Still no equalizer for the music player?

When I click on the video on the "Desktop" site, It asked me if I wish to open it with "Internet" or "Youtube" Perhaps you should clear the defaults for both applications.

Is it possible to take screen captures from the phone if so how?

I restored it from a selected backup I made on 2.1 (using My BackupPro).

When I click on the youtube video again, it asks with what to open. And thank god, you can select the youtube app and not the HTC one!
So I thought it's a step forward!

Not sure if this works everywhere though, but most websites with a youtube player work like this.

Yeah, that works, once it's playing, you can click on it and be redirected to the YouTube app.
Still, it's annoying, it now takes three steps (if you have plugins set to on demand):

Click on the placeholder to load the Flash plugin
Click on the video to start playing
Click on the choppily playing video to open in the YouTube player

On the rooted HTC 2.2 ROM.

Thanks for this great thread to kekkle and all helpers!

No japan mode for fm radio anymore?!?! oh that's really one of the only things that i will miss - Will there be a way to get the japan mode back (or set any possible frequencies?) - is closed source by htc so far i know.

Hope my old apps will all work with 2.2 - Has somebody found apps that won't work after update to 2.2?
Especially Navigon Mobile Navigator is very important to me (still on 2.5.1)!

Thanks in advance!

Now the email client is capable to send mail when offline via outbox.
2.1 release did not.

Well, Copilot Live 8 (also a navigation software) did not work anymore after update to 2.2. I had to install a new version (8.2.0.218) that is compatible with Froyo.
