2.2 is super smooth for me compared to all 3g firmwares so far

[wgm214]

Alright I have a few questions b4 updating..(btw im legit at&t user, jailbroken on 2.1)
1.is quickgold dead? any word from the developer on what hes gonna do
2.Whos numeric batteries have stayed? I currently have that set via sbsettings
3.Did mobileinstallation break when u guys updated, b4 all of u tell me off, i dont use cracked apps, i actually have some of my cydia apps synced to itunes...see the screenshot..

Question:

Once 2.2 is officially cracked and so on, how will that affect the people who choose not to upgrade?

If i remember correctly there was something that made mention that 2.1 apps wont work with 1.x apps, or vice versa.

Will that mean that the new apps coming out might not be compatible with the old f/w of 2.2?

My numeric battery indicator stayed in the StatusBar after updating from 2.1 to 2.2 (3G)

Lemme see if I can explain this properly. The big difference between the 1.x firmwares and the 2.x firmwares is where all of the files are located. The entire file system was moved around. This meant that all of the previous 1.x firmware programs were unable to work until they optimized for the change. It was a lot of work for some, and in some cases, not worth the time. Apple made this change for the AppStore. I don't believe we will see a big change like that again on the iPhone, and if we do, it won't be for a long while. So right now, I can't imagine any updates would completely render your 3rd party apps useless. And if some don't work here and there, I don't think it would be difficult for the developers to fix them.


Edit: Re-read your post, not sure if you meant they worked on 2.0 but not 2.1, or what. I just woke up, and I think i'm confusing myself in a heated debate (with myself) to decide how you meant your question. :P

i remember there was a "program" that could be installed to open a new window when in safari... does 2.2 incorporate any of this or know where to get that program from?

Probably not. I can't see someone sitting around at the Apple store or AT&T opening every single sealed iPhone that is running 2.1 and update each one of them to 2.2 then sealing them back up to sell. So odds are there's still a bunch of 2.1 software iPhones that need to be sold off before they get and start selling 2.2's.

^Ok, thanks for letting me know....

That is not correct.

With minor exceptions, from 1.x to 2.x files remained in the same place.
There are always a few changes in every new firmware but that usually don't break regular apps.

What caused apps written for 1.x not to work on 2.x were changes to some APIs, a new linkage and signature (not required on 1.x)

In the 2.x series of firmware, apps written for fw 2.0 using the "official" API should continue to work.
Apple can not change the existing public API.
Apple can extend the API but can not change what was released in 2.0.

Painful, simply painful.

And Apple can do whatever they want, they've proven that already.

Have I just gotten used to it, or has anyone else noticed the absence of the abominal yellowish tinge?

[Bruce109]

Just to make sure, I am using a 3G that's jail broken and also on USA T-Mobile with a turbo sim. I know that if I upgrade to 2.2 I wont be able to jail brake it yet but does anyone know for sure if my Phone will still work on T-Mobile with the turbo sim? I'm pretty sure it will but I'd like to make sure before I do it.

On FW 2.2 that is...
