as soon as they get it things will start to roll real quick. This is good news. as always be very very supsious if it true

 

I'm callin' bullshit on that picture. Looks fishy to me. Also, why just one pic? Why not show the Baseband, Kernal, or Build number? Does the N1 really say "Android version" instead of "Firmware version" like the Droid? And out of hundreds of N1 users on Engadget and on various forums, no one else has received it? I'm not buying it.

 

TechCrunch got the update. They also were good journalists and confirmed with google it was part of a very slow roll out.

 

A Late Night Froyo Treat! Android 2.2 Goes Live On The Nexus One


There's the link... I was gonna call BS but I haven't seen some of those pics of froyo before. Maybe it is the real deal... hopefully we know by tonight because I was gonna wipe and install a new rom, but if this is in the wild I'm gonna wait a few days

 

hmmmm...maybe this is the real deal. I sure hope so. Froyo has some really nice features.

 

Engadget just posted and said that they've gotten it as well.

 

In my best Shang Tsung voice ... "IT HAS BEGUN!!"

 

Still need more proof before I get hopes up! I remember OTA date and oh no to bad. Fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me. Pictures don't look convincing. With all the roms and themes I would like to see more.

 

why would engadget and techcrunch lie about this? makes sense that N1 would get it first since its google's baby.

 

It's getting closer...No URL yet, but the file name is supposedly :

 

starting to believe

 

I just want flash. I love playing flash games on the internet. Helps me save space on my phone.

 

Starting to?

android.clients.google.com/packages/passion/signed-passion-FRF50-from-ERE27.1e519a24.zip

That is download link (for Nexus One, don't try on Droid, lol)...

It has now been mirrored all over the net. Several people have successfully flashed at XDA forums. I posted the link in our Nexus forum, but they are scrrrddd...LOL

**EDIT** Devs! Get busy on a Droid rom Plz

 

How do the N1 guys say the improvement is? Significant? Barely?

 

So far at XDA they are saying things like "Damn, this thing is FAST..."...But that is all subjective. One guy said he was going to run linpak benchmark to check it out further, but I have not seen results..

 

There is a comparison article up at engadget with videos.

The benchmarks appeared to be significantly faster.

 

I don't see files in the update.zip that update the dalvik virtual machine (to enable JIT), so perhaps they are doing it a different way.

Seems like in 2.2 they've made Twitter a system app though

 

Benchmarks are a measure of performance but just because its an almost 10x increase in MFLOPS does not mean that the actual performance will be 10x faster, etc. What I want to know is how the actual performance is.

 

Hey Fab, now the that Update.zip is out, how long do you think it will be before we see a Froyo rom for Droid? I don't remember the timeline from 2.1...

 

I don't remember either.

Just sent the files Pete's way though, so hopefully he'll start cooking something up

 

Right on...I know he is super busy right now though (with school and such). I think I read somewhere that Boost would be starting on it right away...Ima be F5ing alot for the next few days... (Except when Basketball is on...Boston/Magic start in 3 hours or so...)

**EDIT** NM!!! Looks like someone did a dump for Pete!!! (not just the update.zip)!

i think that bugless is going to come out of its cocoon. lol i hope it does not change name to bugless butterfly.

 

I'm so excited!

 

He only has the update as of now. He needs a system dump, so if you see one floating about the net, send it to Pete!
