@motafoca

I really commend your team in improving the firmware of g5 although I have some suggestions:

-Place a "number" meter within the stock battery icon
-I personally don't like the "blue flames/flames" theme in some UI boxes

Other than that everything is perfect.:)

GOOD NEWS!!

Hey guys! Am new here, but I bring you good news!! I recieved an email from Samsung regarding an OFFICIAL froyo update for the Europa (I5500)! They basically said that it has been released for O2 branded phones only at the moment but that means that anyone else should be very soon! Wish I could provide pictures for proof but I cant :(

Hello.
I also received a reply from Samsung Customer Support Center. The answer included: "Regarding your case, kindly note that the Android 2.2 has been released for the I5500 (for the phones contacted with O2) and it is available on Home Update (via KIES)."
So I went and did the registry trick and fooled an older Kies with a different produc code, I5500YKAMOB. The update button was enabled, I clicked "update", but I'm still with 2.1update1.

A few suggestions

@motafoca

I agree, those blue flames don't look so good.
Also, the notifications bar looks weird around the date and time (it's less transparent, when collapsed) and it shouldn't have anything written on it ("My Galaxy 5" (?), on the bottom).
The Lock Bar shouldn't be transparent (It's not a bar anymore) and TouchWiz Launcher shouldn't be removed (It's a good launcher, imho).

Anyway, these are my oppinions on 2.0.7, hope I didn't offend anyone. :) Everything else is Ok.

Gingerbread Framework

I succeded in building a framework-res.apk which has all the stock Gingerbread icons, buttons and lock screen.
Problems
- the pop-up menus are still white like in Froyo
- the notification pop-up is the same with Motafoca's one (the one from Gingerbread still doesn't have mdpi graphics)
- Vending.apk (Market) it's installing apps only when it wants :(

For download link and screenshots see the Galaxy 5 forum from IPBoard.

    Hi everyone,

    I'm working on the GT-I5500 for about 10 days, played alot, flashed alot and i finaly got to learn how it works
    Well i have created a modified froyo version based on samsung's I5500LAR0JP2
    Basically i tweaked the initiation scripts and got the powersave gorvernor set to ondemand
    It was performance, so the cpu clock was always at max
    The battery now lasts about 3 times more according to testers and the device aparently is more stable. All the apps are the same
    Setcpu can be removed since the powersave mode is now default

    To install it, use the odin procedure as the same as the I5500LAR0JP2
    Remember to do a factory wipe after installing
    Below the file, DO NOT RENAME THE FILE TO .TAR OR ANYTHING ELSE, odin will do the checksum of the file so you know it has been downloaded correcty

    tinyurl.com/67wpzzm

    At the Lowyat forum there is all the testing and modifications
    forum.lowyat.net/topic/1687862

    You can also join the irc channel at freenode.net (webchat.freenode.net channel #gti5500)

    All kind of help is welcome

    Thanks,

    James/Motafoca
