Android 2.2, Automatic DHCP (had loads of trouble getting Wifi to work), power improvements, SD card (couldn't play music), and USB :D I love this

Trying to download now (it's not easy), will upload to multiupload as soon as I can. (I have slow uploads so somebody may do it before me.)

The Android 2.2 ROM doesn't have English language as an option Drat.

Have you tried using it with the 2.1 mdroid.img?

The mdroid.img for 2.1 has English, but this one doesn't o.o If I switch back to 2.1 .... no benefits haha. The a7 release worked pretty well. I'm just gonna try to Google how to add an English locale...

I believe it is the zimage and mpatch.img which have the drivers and settings in them while the mdroid.img only has the OS.

So maybe if you only changed the mdroid.img you would get the benefits, just not 2.2.

The closest I got was adding the MoreLocale2 App to change it to Spanish..leaving most of the UI in English and the rest in Spanish xP

However, 2.2 itself is an improvement I'm sure something will come up later.

Where is the mpatch.img they mention in the readme?

Or don't you need it?

I used the same one that I had with 2.1, why?

NVM, I used the same as well.

The 2.2 seems to only have Chinese language support for m8 for now...

Anyone have any idea where to download, or how to change to any or english?
