Heads Up: Samsung Galaxy 5 GT-I5500 Will Get Froyo Update

Great news for those who own Samsung Galaxy 5..such as me(hehe).























Samsung has released source code for Android 2.2(froyo) at HERE. So, we can expect it will be available for us to upgrade end of February of middle of March. ::wink2::












At last, after waiting for merely 2 months, froyo is coming. By the way, if you want to try unofficial Froyo for Galaxy 5, you can go to samfirmware. The firmware and instruction is there.

I did try the Froyo but, after 2 days, I revert back to 2.1(Eclair) because the unofficial Froyo have bug in it(a lots of it) such as compass heading is completely wrong(resulting arrow is gps apps will upside down), side key for volume not functioning during keylock(in eclair can..to lower music volume) or during phone call, battery cant hold longer and etc2.

So, if you still want to try the Froyo(or can't wait anymore), go to samfirmware site I mentioned before. Bear in mind though that, flashing the phone ROM is dangerous and may(hopefully not) bricked your device. Proceed with caution. :)
