In keeping with Android’s open source mantra, the source code for Froyo on the Samsung Galaxy S line has been released to the public. This means a couple of things for end users:

  • The official release of Froyo on these devices is very close
  • With the source code released, hackers and developers of custom ROMs now have official code to work off of to create their software, fixing a lot of issues related to the way Galaxy S hardware interfaces with those ROMs.

If you yourself are a code geek, or just want to check out what’s going on in the world of Galaxy S modding, be sure to check out this thread at xda-developers to see for yourself.

    Nice that Samsung doled out the 2.2 code, now when is AT&T, and other Galaxy S carriers, going to OTA the 2.2 upgrade? It is mid October already, and so far no upgrade.
