Please check there to see if there's a relevant thread for any new topics or issues, if not, make one.

Well, that last thread went on FOREVER, I thought a new one might be needed.

This is the continuation from the old thread.


The 2.2 upgrade is here with instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=1067


Important note: The update will officially be OTA, so you don't need to do this yourself manually here. The OTA will be out shortly. The method provided at that link is for the technically inclined.
If it gets stuck on 98% for a while, that's fine, don't worry about it. Just keep it connected and wait, it can take 30min. Not a problem.
And if you lost your Kyocera logo while messing with the boot image, IT'S BACK


I'm really hoping they fixed the boot loader and perhaps we can get Clockwork Mod working on it again, without it trying to connect to Verizon!


ROOTING
The 1-click root that worked for 1.6 works just the same for 2.2


ISSUES
There doesn't seem to be any multi-touch enabled.
Either the accelerometer or compass is broken, both google sky maps and the compass app jitter around A LOT.


Improvements
All around speed increase.
Camera takes pictures in focus and captures when pressing the button rather than 1+ seconds later.
Night pictures have much better contrast.
Gallery scans 8gb card a single time and opens fast all times after.

hehe, I was going to start a thread, but thought it fitting to wait for you to do it.

Perhaps we should muscle xda again for a ZIO section, or at least a cricket android section? o.0

That's why I was asking people to start new threads starting with "Kyocera Zio M6000 - my issue here" so hopefully the general forum would be flooded... That didn't seem to go too well, there are over 1000 posts in the original thread. Can we beat that here?

lol hopefully not. Now that 2.2 is live (somewhat) I think people will now be more inclined to start new zio threads instead of bombarding the most popular one.

I love this update it made the phone everything it should have been from the start. All the great performance enhancements and cool new features are awesome, I cant stop playing with my phone. I think my new favorite thing is the new lock screen, and the slide to answer feature.

any clue what the "kyocerafailsafetool" is? Its a background app.

Unrelated note: Im going to have to get use to the fact that I dont have to push my task killer widget everytime I open/close an app. lol

apps 2 sd

hi i am looking for instructions to do the apps2sd can anyone point me in the direction for that? also i noticed that all the bloatware is back, is it still safe to remove it same as before? and i guess we still need barnacle to have wifi hotspot. thanks!!! so we dont need taskkiller anymore for 2.2?

apps2sd is located in your application management settings -- just click an app and there will be an option (if available) to "Move to SD"

Should be alright to remove all the crappy demo games and bloatware.

Yes for barnacle.

Sweet. I have been at work all day and just got to a PC that I can do the update from. Got it smoothly on the first try although it does take forever on the initial boot up after update.

Anybody remember the directory that the bloatware is in?
