Android 2.2 Froyo rolling out for Nexus One Now!

[clutchy]

2.2 def big improvement on 2.1...u can also go landscape both ways now

can you turn that off also? I hated trying to lay sideways in bed and have the damn iphone flipping on me... i loved that android only flipped one way.

i wasnt aware of a music app upgrade.. hmm

As was stated... the build Google was using in the I/O keynote had a different Music app. Looks more like the 3D Gallery. It was visible when they were showing off the streaming audio stuff. I assume we'll get that new Music app when they rollout the web-based Market.

Is this an OTA update or is this something I have to actually download?

I have an AT&T N1 now running Froyo 2.2. The only way that rogers and at&t users can update right this second is if their phone is rooted. If it is rooted then you simply download the ROM from modaco and flash it like you would any other cooked ROM. Here's the link: FRF50 (Froyo) pre-rooted update zip - Android @ MoDaCo

Aww damn so for the stock at&t Nexus we still have to wait

I have an ATT nexus one and I don't actually think you have to be rooted, just have an unlocked bootloader. I was, but I did it all with a stock recovery.

Basically I found the links on XDA to get the original shipping ROM ERD79, then upgraded to ERE27, and from there to FRF50. Everything worked fine, but it required having a stock Recovery and knowing how to use Fastboot.

I did all this in the hour or so before Paul and Cyanogen packed Froyo for use without the stock Recovery.

EDIT: Since I did it all with fastboot and all images were signed by Google I would guess you could do this with a locked bootloader, but I can't be sure.

An unlocked bootloader = rooted.

Have you noticed any issues since you have done this? Is the 3G connectivity problem that TMo users had effecting you or anything like that?

you can wait for the OTA or download yourself

Update: the phone button started working after the phone had been booted up for a while. It took a little time for the gallery to catch up as well. All is good ......and fast now. I like the update to the predictive text. It has ! ?, @_ as options anytime you hit the space bar. Saves from having to use the shift key.

Straightforward install. I just downloaded directly to the SD card, moved to the root (of the card ./sdcard) and renamed. A slow reboot later, and it's done.

First impressions... it's much faster, keyboard seems more accurate, flash works well, haptic buttons are more accurate.

Chomp is force closing, anyone else?

Yes. They released their new version early to fix it:

FroYo issues - chompSMS

You can also set the trackball colour with it

 

[bitxboi]

just realised the Messages app has changed its appearance. Any possibility to get back the original one?

 

[Nadrazi]

BK, its simple man do it...

apps not working for me are the directv, seesmic beta (only twitter part. buzz part works) , and a online radio. i reinstalled swype and now it works. thank goodness

Right there with you! Uninstalled, then reinstalled the beta and have it back. The update is nice, but losing swype would have been disappointing.

An unlocked bootloader = rooted.

actually unlocked bootloader =/= rooted.
unlocked bootloader = ability to flash unsigned roms with super user permissions

I haven't come across the 3g issue yet on Froyo. I have only ever come across it once and that was last week while I was on Cyanogen 5.06.

Things are running smooth as butter with no sense of lag anywhere but the occasional wait while it loads up Nav (which I assume is more data related). I haven't figured out how to move apps to the SD yet, that and missing apps in the market are the only two minor hiccups so far.

Places like AndroidPolice.com are reporting that the official download server no longer works, and that the file has been removed. Some other places are still hosting the file, but could there be a reason why Google has removed the file from their server?

I've updated to Froyo, and it seems to be working great (apart from one or two apps)...
I have noticed though, that a number of Apps are no longer available on the Market for Froyo. Is anyone else having this problem?
Is there some setting for developers adding Apps to the Market, to enable Froyo 'visibility'?

Google has to enable copy protected apps for the new build. They should do this in the next few days. This is common with new handsets and early software updates. Since Froyo hasn't actually rolled out OTA style they must not have flipped the switch yet.
