Android 2.2 Froyo OTA Update Rollout to Nexus One

Canadian Android — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 06:27:13 +0000

Looks like Google is rolling out an official 2.2 Froyo update to nexus one users. Now, its not apparent if this is just an update for those that used the leaked android build, or if this update will actually roll out to all nexus one users, but it would make sense considering that Google just opened up the Froyo 2.2 source today. I have not yet received this update myself on my Nexus one (T-Mobile Nexus on Rogers), but Ill be sure to keep everyone posted. There’s also a XDA Developers thread that you might want to follow as well.

Google just released the source code to android 2.2 “Froyo” today, and it is now available for download via their site. This probably kicks off the countdown to an official build of Froyo as an OTA update for other android phones, such as the Evo 4G and the Nexus One. Head over here for a 2.2 source code download if you’re into cooking your own roms! The 2,2 sdk, which has been available for a while already, can be found here.

Nexus One’s Froyo FRF72 update leaked

Canadian Android — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 18:20:45 +0000

Now, don’t get too excited, this isn’t the official froyo update many have been waiting for, but if you were quick to jump the gun and update your TMobile nexus one to the leaked 2.2 update a few weeks ago, there’s now an update released to fix some bugs in that leaked froyo update. This update is NOT meant to be used alone, so do not flash it if you don’t already have the base 2.2 update installed. Not much is known about what the update actually brings to the table, but mentions of better flash support and a faster browser have been thrown around.

Download the update file here, and follow the instructions here to flash the update onto your FRF50-installed nexus one (But of course don’t download the update on that site, use the update that you downloaded here.) As always, you are responsible with what you do with your phone, take care and do it at your own risk. Thanks to AndroidPolice and XDA developers for the info!

Prototype — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 19:50:49 +0000

Chinese company aigo has recently five new ‘aigoPads’ The devices come with either a four, five, or seven inch screen, and run Android 2.0, but will be upgraded later on to Froyo. Only one name was released at the launch, the aigoPad N701. There also seems to be a possibility of a download service, although if it’s the Android market or something custom, it is unclear. The five inch aigo E500 has been seen on sale for $235 recently. There is speculation the devices will be paired with Nvidia’s Tegra chipset, and offer 3G and WiFi capability. Expected to be on the market by July of 2010.
