Are there any plans to bring Android 2.2 to X1?
As said by google, it brings significant speed improvements which would be great as X1 have slower hardware than most android phones out there.

said 2.2 available only with ARM11, cortex A8/A9, Tegra of Atom... not available for Qualcomm ... =(
I thought are processor is equivalent to a ARM11? Edit also how can it not support Qualcomm when the latest Android phones are running a Snap Dragon Processor made by Qualcomm????

yep I searched and its ARM11 so alright! Lets go froyo!!!
Nexus One also have qualcomm processor, so i doubt that it's unsuported.

It seems that Nexus One phones are getting the upgrade AT THE MOMENT! So it is just a matter of time when people get their hands on the actual installation files, and even the source.
if I could I would help but I dont know how to do..

I wanted to send this lol u were faster than me!
So My girlfriend has Garminfone and there is no info on the internet at all on how to overclock or a custom kernel or anything really so i Have rooted it but would like to do more so i have done a lil research and will like to build Custom Recovery for the phone but before i start i thought i would post a thread here with all my Optimus one family that i trust and love to get some tips and hopefully even some instructions as the instructions online are hard to fallow ??? so anything ???
Can give a clear answer about that, because its different for most phones.
Some phones like our Optimus One have a recoverypartition, a phone like Samsung Galaxy 3 has not. It took some work to port CWM to that phone and mumbozver (an XDA-user on de Galaxy 3-thread) managed to port it to that phone).
Guess it's best to post a question in the main android-section for this
make "cat /proc/mtd" in "adb shell".
If there are error - porting will be hard

Maybe start with telling us which phone we are talking about...
Here some specs that might help you:
Garminfone is the market name from "Nüviphone A50".
- MSM7227 chipset
- ARM Cortex A11 procssesor (ARMv6) @600MHz
- 256MB RAM
- 4GB ROM
- A-GPS
- WLAN b/g
- 3MP camera
- display have 480 x 320 Pixel
with this informations you can go at first to the step from mik, if it works might be
you can adapt a custom recovery for that phone
Oh... Nuviphone A50. I got this junk for free with their navigation. Well, frankly - you are better off throwing that brick away. One of the worst Android phones ever.

Well, if the guys on the thread I have linked are not even willing to team up to finally produce something after basically having wasted about a year on this without getting it even bootable... good luck with this.
I would personally suggest bricking the phone intentionally and claiming warranty. Pretty sure this junk has been EOLed so you might get a decent phone as replacement. (Though, you might be unfortunate enough to get a brand new replacement brick since the Garmin's stock must be full of these collecting dust. )

I for one would be very happy I dont have the smarts to even attempt this. But yes the garminfone is very very slow boring.. It would be just wonderful to have a recovery even better a rom mayb some point to bring this phone at least upto an ehhh ok phone status := Im willing to test/help what ever it is . Im not the best in the develoment area but I do have a garminfone and enough sense to try and give a hand.
It may sound stupid
But still...want to ask! for example i may have a skills to replace a processor!!! for phone...dont think so tho
I just found it interesting
Would it be possible to change our processor to armv7
i havent studied our phone shematics and staff
but if it would fit...and it could be placed and connected right
would everything work? well if someone knows
I like going deep in things!!! some may understand!
dont say it isnt interesting ;D
but how possible it is...i have big doubts about that
go ahead and try.
Ofcourse you can't replace it
but would be cool!
Overclock to 820mhz and this should melt the solder and make your arm 6 easy to remove ha ha. Its a good question, when you were studying did you notice if an arm 7 would even fit? and if it did fit and manage to work well with all other components do you think software support might be a stumbling block. Keep us updated if you do get brave and try it, you might want to see if an x10 mini 5mp lens would work 1st, it would be a nice unique mod.
;D u know how much we want things to be better! But some things are impossible to get done i suppose, however ill try to discover everything about it!
Haha,you are wrong here.nothing is impossible.i believe it would work.and for sure if i had armv7 processor i would try it.if psp has armv7,i will try it.

well i have my x8 for 9 months and it looks like brand new ;D
screen is in perfect condition, my case has some lil marks of scratches!
its ok i have droped it like 20 or more times and some times i thought it wont survive...battery was 10m away from phone and case as well
hmm ill dissamble it one day and see how it all actually looks and sww if its possible to desolder it without damaging...obviously will have to use some kind of heat sinks!
I have a few minor scratches.i ran over it with a tractor!and its still in a great shape!
from my x8 and every latest **** on it.
Replacing processor in x8 is different with replacing PC's processor. Afaik, however, there is governor wich the driver of most xda processor, you still need new kernel for your new arm7, it means you have to bypass the bootloader first.. then you make a miniloader for your new chipset. Btw, is x8 like wheels " sell in parts ! " LoL..

Youre right, so I thought!!!
Help i think i have bricked my nexus one! It was flashing hboot and it fell of the desk, hanging on its cable and then popped off. Now it does not turn on. HELP!!!
Well.. Flashing a system/boot.img can't brick your phone, but flashing a corrupted hboot or radio can. And in your case, flashing a hboot was aborted, which means the installation is corrupted.
Sad to say, the only way you can fix this is by sending it to HTC for repair. They will probably see you've rooted the phone and all that, but they will fix it back to stock everything on your expense as this isn't covered by warranty if you had that.

150 bucks brand new? Dang. A brand new N1 costs roughly 300 bucks here. Whenever you buy a brand new item you get a warranty with which you can get a similar phone back or something equivalent if what happened to it wasn't your fault. Warranty is lost upon rooting/bootloader unlocking.
Are you sure that a second Nexus one costs just 150$?
If not, you could buy a RIFFbox or any other JTAG Device, altough they cost about 150$ too (and require some knowledge)

Did you buy a Nexus One to play HD games? Then I'm sorry to tell you that you should have gotten a PSP Go instead. Nexus One is a great phone, it is, no questions asked, but the thing is; today's HD games require both a faster processor and GPU. Nexus one features a single core 1Ghz processor and an Adreno 200 graphics chip. It gets the job done for basic games but doesn't do well with HD games (or HD 3D games, if that's what you meant)

has more phone space than the explorer
the exp has only around 180MB this one has 300MB and is a little sleeker and girls would tend to like sleeker phones

don't go with BB.... its nothing but waste of money Instead if u r looking for non android phone then any Nokia mobile in that range will serve the job better than BB ... BB charge for everything after u purchase mobile means if you want net then activate BB service which are above RS. 400 for most of operators ... if you want youtube access then need higher pack of BB services and so on .. BB is best suited to corporate world where everything is paid by company not for personnel one ....
Nokia C6 01 would be great phone if going for non android stuff
Phone for Sister
I had given my Spice phone for a few days to my wife and switched back to my wife's blackberry ...
She was not happy with spice phone at all .. she was not happy with camera and pictures , she termed the phone very slow and found navigation and others very difficult so i would say its personal choice to go with android but i would advice go with Samsung or Sony Xperia for woman the looks of the phone are also very critical factor
I brought huawei ideos x5 pro for my wife @13750/- a month back
I have rooted it but keeping stock rom and she says battery life is excellent
