For the uninitiated, FroYo is Android Version 2.2, the latest version of the Android operating system from Google.
The Verizon Droid Incredible has been shipping with the earlier 2.1 version of Android and owners have been waiting impatiently for the upgrade to 2.2. New features include video capture at 720p, support for Adobe Flash 10.1, WiFi hotspot etc.
The upgrade was to have started on August 28th, but I didn’t get mine until August 31st.
The following pictures capture the upgrade process. The pictures were taken with my MyTouch Slide:
You've got an update!
This is where it is downloading the update, I think
Done with the download
Something's happening here...
The phone reboots at this point
We see the red Droid eye
Still rebooting...
The bezel button lights come on...
At this point, I have to unlock the phone with my unlock pattern
Yet another restart
Yay! I'm done
Nope! Not yet. The upgrade is still not done!
Now, it wants to go through the set up wizard...
More spinnning...
And we are done!!!
Android 2.2!
Note: the upgrade will remove your unlock pattern. So you need to reset it after the upgrade is done.
