Download: Android 2.2 For Motorola Droid
The Froyo build which we saw here and here is finally in the wild and ready for your personal viewing pleasure. Yes that sounded dirty on purpose as I crawled my lazy bones out of bed at 6:30AM on a Saturday, just for you (OK, that’s probably a lie. Who wouldn’t wake up for Froyo?). So what do we have here? An apparent early 2.2 build for the Motorola Droid. I say early because it appears to have a ton of missing features from the Nexus One Froyo and also has a few bugs. With that said, the MyDroidWorld guys have made it easily installable via nandroid backup in both ClockworkMod and SPRecovery, so anyone with root access can check it out. When you are finished, you will keep root access and your custom recovery, so just make sure to backup your current settings in case something bad happens. This also comes with a custom kernel, so you can overclock to 800Mhz right away. (Want to root your Droid and try this? Check out our full 2.1 rooting guide.) Early feature list: Update 7:37am: Had this 2.2 build up and running for a good 45 minutes now and I’ve got to admit that it is pretty damn fast. It seems like the longer you play with it, the faster it gets. Interesting. While the MFLOPS in Linpack aren’t there, check out this Quadrant benchmark I just ran. If only wi-fi worked… *ROOTED USERS ONLY. Download: P3DF-CW.zip Installation Instructions… *Note 1* – This process uses ClockworkMod Recovery. SPRecovery method/file at source link. 1.
