XDA-developers has unleashed some pretty tantalizing things over the past couple of days. First up it was a permanent root solution for T-Mobile’s G2 and shortly after that, a permanent root became available for the G2’s sister HSPA+ device, the myTouch 4G.
Well, they are at it again and this time they have released something even more spectacular.
Froyo for Sprint’s Galaxy S device, the Samsung Epic 4G.
For those of you with a little courage, you’ll need to root and follow some instructions, you can get Android 2.2 up and running on your Epic 4G right this minute. No need to wait for Samsung and Google to roll it out which by the way might not happen until the end of November or possibly even later.
