I have updated my stock 2.1 N1 to Froyo (Build FRF50) manually. I'm wondering, though, if this release is really meant to be the official, final Google-supported update.
Is there any word from Google (except for MG Siegler's "The roll out to Nexus One devices has begun!" over at Seeking Alpha) that this is the one?
Same question here. Also if this turns out to be a pre released update, can the stock N1 be updated to a official version?
from what i understand there is no actual official word. That said im loving froyo: As with previous updates, froyo added features and bug fixes and also brought some new issues, so if you are thinking maybe its not official because of some bugs, to me that wouldnt be sufficient evidence: I havent experienced any of the complaints save one- Anyone else having the phone randomly go to sleep and not wake up?
The scrolling,
updated native apps (youtube is amazing now),
overall speed increase,
awesome camera/camcorder updates,
very smooth BETA flash,
simple and effective tethering,
fantastic new setting options throughout the OS,
left AND right rotating
updated UI (love the phone/app drawr/ browser buttons)
and im sure im forgetting stuff...All extremely awesome features and my personal new issues of freezing and hard sleep i can live with i just hope they arent harmful.
i't doesn't feel like a complete FroYo. I have little bugs that i noticed. screen goes black and don't go on anymore, have to take out battery. When the phone is in the charger and i'm playing with it, It gets really really hot.
The new features are great i miss some CM tweaks The UI was a little different at the IO so maybe there will be more surprises?
this was a prerelease to the developer holiday phone the official is coming out around the 29th of may and will continue to roll out till all nexus ones have the update

How do you know this? also will we get that update too?
Well the "leaked" URL was pulled, wasn't it?
this was very likely to be a pre test release. I've looked into the build.prop and there are signs that it is a test release as the word test appears several times throughout.
Given the silence from Google, and the subsequent removal of the link, I suspect this was an accident... meant it to go to a select few whilst forgetting how easy it was to distribute the location of the update.zip.
Wouldn't bother me any if this was the official ... its flawless for me. No freezes or any wierd stuff. Pure froyoness

So the link is gone than it's definitely a accident.
I'm gonna say this ain't the final release. But I doubt it'll be any diff. How much more could they fix or improve from the accidental release to the real one.... I bet the same bugs people are seeing now will be present in the final...
Nothing's perfect
Except for me.lol no issues
oh dear... not so good if this is true!
I spose people on here flashed the update.zips from xda?
Hopefully Google will push out the live update now certainly with the potential problems people could be getting
No, I flashed with the file direct from Google before the link was pulled.
So it's all over the news Nexus has froyo now but has anyone with a legit locked stock phone actually gotten it? Like one of the ATT folks?
Anyone have any links to some real clarification on this?
No stock AT&T/Vodafone customer can get it yet.

No, I am one of the many AT&T folks that is still waiting for the official release from Google. I have a 3 week old N1 that is still stock and with locked boot loader, and I have no problems waiting, as I am not ready to root my new N1 just yet.
the official will we the frf86 as seen in a couple threads this version will work fine for the holiday version of the nexus one . i tried it on both the holiday nexus one and the official release of the nexus one and it runs better for some reason on the holiday version
Where are you getting all the info from?
Is there likely to be much added between FRF50 and FRF86?
How SO we know if its a holiday one?
Hey Guys,
I've had my Incredible S for about 2 weeks and the last couple of days the Clock/Weather app is not updating AT ALL...manually or auto. I'm amusing its most likely a weather server issue but just wanted to know if anyone else is having these dramas....in Australia.
And I just remembered something else, not sure if I should start a new thread for this but my battery life so far is pretty crap, could be the Optus ROM but I hear other people having quite a good battery experience with this model... I mean, I hate saying this but I think my old 1yr old 3GS that I got rid of lasted longer...thats insane. haha.
Thanks in advance guys.
HTC Incredible S Stock 2.3.3 (S-ON...unfortunately)
Yep - same problem here of weather not updating as of a few days ago on my Legend on Optus. Others also seeing the same problem in Oz
http://androidforums.com/android-applications/343392-htc-weather-app-widget.html
Thanks for your reply mate.
Sort of a relief to know I'm not the only one...but still...NOT good if that makes sense...haha
Yeah I know some ppl with with the Desire HD (Froyo, 2.3) that have the issue as well... Just saying that as on the Android forums someone said that a friend of there's has 2.2 and it worked so...I still believe it could be server related... Shame really, I have to run a third party weather widget/app when there's a perfectly good one in HTC Sense (built in)...with a clock too! haha
Cheers.
I'm using the HTC stock Froyo on my Legend (upgraded from Eclair a few months back) so the weather update issue appears to be a server one as came out of the blue - wasn't related to a Android update
I just re read my post. I meant 2.2 Froyo. Not 2.3. Haha. Yeah, I agree, its gotta be server related.
Thanks mate.
Same issue here. Got back from the USA yesterday and since then my location weather hasnt been updating, it was working fine over in the US. Since updated to 2.3 Gingerbread and still got the same issue (Some cities update others don't (including my home location and Melbourne, Hobart, London). Mine is a HK DHD so it's just not the incredible S.
Yeah, its weird.
Thanks guys anyway...I haven't tried it for a while now, been using other widgets etc...shame I have to do that though...
But if anyone's got any ideas, please share. If only I could root this bloody thing... I could change where it gets its info from.... I think... haha
Fellaz, try clear data in order = Google Maps + Clock Widget + Weather + HTC Sync Weather Provider + Weather Provider
It works on my IS..

Pasting text is very annoying since it's not possible to paste where I want it, it's hard to explain, worked fine before... Maybe anyone else have experienced it and can explain the problem???
yea even i'm annoyed with this bug but im getting used to it :\
this ota ics lasted for about 2 weeks on my phone, then it just got so frustrating to actually use it, everything is slower than a snail on a slippery floor, so i flashed virtuous sense 4 rom and this one even at alpha stage works better and faster than the original 3.6.
any one regret rooting the one ? i had a htc sensation rooted but alll the roms seem to have some thing that did not work...the one seems to be fine the way it is so before i root it i wanted some option ..... do the the htc one also have roms with broken parts of it ?
should i just wait on the updates ?
Really depends on how you use your device and how you feel about the stock setup. I didn't like having all the bloatware that AT&T packed on and really wanted to play around more under the hood, but obviously that is not for everyone and comes with all of the standard risks.
I'm running the latest ViperOne ROM and really love the options that can be set and tweaked. So many ROM options available for the device the choices are almost endless.
You haven't tried Trickdroid 9.0. Amazing rom that's not missing anything! insane battery life also
does the update also add alot of features ?
I've rooted every android phone I've had and flashed numerous roms on each one but this is the first device that I've left completely stock. I don't even have an unlocked bootloader. The phone is just fine the way it is, I will not be rooting or unlocking the bootloader on this phone anytime soon. Myself and many other users used to root our phones and flash custom roms because android phones used to be incredibly laggy and we always wanted better performance. Overclocking our processors was the norm but now android has matured so much and devices are ridiculously powerful now there is just no need to change them. Even if we were to still overclock our devices you wouldn't see a change in performance.
It's completely up to you though.
Personally, I think rooting is worth it just for the ad blocking it allows; i.e. editing the hosts file. Running a custom rom, being able to backup with titanium and nandroids, and changing radios is just gravy. And if you've ever had a device go south without a custom recovery already on it it's incredibly difficult to fix.

The wife bought a refurb Acer tablet - no warranty (I think it was thirty days.) Was ridiculous to restore. I learned my lesson, well! And I'd rather be able to fix it myself than be without while I wait for someone else to. To each their own...

yeah if this was a slow phone or laggy maybe i would,but a have read a few tread with custom roms and some are having trouble with them,think i'll wait on update....although the 4.2.2 update seems to not be coming to t-mobile,all i got so far was a small update.
I have only had the One for a few weeks, but I rooted it and flashed CM10.1 before I even put my SIM in it. Definitely worth it. No reason to deal with carrier restrictions.
t mobile told me there is no 4.2.2 update for the htc one......HTC said the same thing,so now im wondering how come people are saying there receiving this update..
who's lying

There will be no 4.2.2 update from tmobile, my guess is they are gonna skip that and go straight to 4.3 plus they said it on the internet on the news that htc said it themselves and that there would be no customer benefit for an update like 4.2.2 so they said they were gonna skip it and bring up 4.3.
The update started along the lines of outside international countries that aren't big market carriers and then it rolled on slowly...so no one's lying you just have to do some research on the internet but that 4.2.2 update never got to the US thats why it was never rolled out to large carriers to their customers..
Hopefully this gave you some insight on things that are currently happening.

It had to have been those in the UK or in some parts of the world because it started from one small part of the world, I mean those that are not on carriers, and it did end up in parts of the UK but it never got to the US and if people who are in the US saying they got the update they changed their CID to a region that had the update rolling out so really no one on this side of the US has that software except verizon because they shipped those one models with the current software, and the GPE ones got an update first because well those aren't sold by carrier they are sold by htc themselves on their website. So yes people have said that they receive it but unless there is proof I wouldn't go off of their word, they more than likely did something to their phone to get that software, they might have a custom rom on their phone or done something to get it officially but here in the us there is no word of 4.2.2 ever coming to their customers....of course except verizon....
Well hopefully this helps...if you have any other questions or concerns please do let us know as we want to help you out

Not always. Running a stock 4.2.2 Rom or something without major modifications will be smooth for a long time. I ran Mike's stock build rooted for almost a month with no issues at all.
It all depends on what you want from it. If you want all the themes and icon changes and modify this and that, you will have issues. But if you JUST want the newest version out there then I would say go ahead and run a stock build, get it odexed (not deodexed) and you will have buttery smoothness

Hi, I am looking for ROM with better battery life than Stock.
My average battery drain about 1% for about 4-5 minutes while using Internet via WIFI for browsing using JB's 4.2.2 default browser, chatting via WhatsApp, reading emails and using Blink Feed.
How about using this ROM?
Thanks.
My main reason FOR rooting, was to theme the phone red. I have the HTC one Red edition. And just love red. I also hate blink feed. Ive flashed Venom rom, and desensed it. Battery life is amazing, I cant find anything that don't work, well nothing I need to use anyway. Plus they have there own red theme, and with the help of a few icon designes from Seriously Crazy. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2091654 This is what ive come up with.
So worth rotting for me, if only for the theming, and gtting rid of blink feed.

Been a while since I moved away from my M7, however I am looking to resurrect the phone and maybe flash a Sense 7 rom.
When the ports first came out I noticed battery life was rather poor, if not very poor. Perhaps something I was doing wrong at the time, but I never returned to using a Sense 7 rom after that.
How do the latest Sense 7 ports compare these days, particularly over Sense 6 roms which I have found offer better battery life and perhaps more stability?
Any major bugs in Sense 7 roms to note?
What a great phone the M7 is. Many years old but still a powerful phone even on todays market. Good to see the devs still supporting the device.
Thanks.
Anyone?
Thanks.

Not sure if this answers your question, but I found this recent link which seems to offer a version for the M7 which includes Sense 7.
[ link blocked by XDA, will provide later, it's from a Turkish website and it's called "HTC One M7 (7.19.401.151) Sense 7 Ported - v2", you can probably find it online]
I will try translating the comments tomorrow to try to understand what it really is. Anyone familiar with the language please feel free to pitch in. One thing I'm confused about is that it lists the firmware version number as 7.19.401.151 Europe, while the version I recently flashed is 7.19.401.51 (last digits different).

Thank you Mr Kong, that really clears things out.
Now if someone could address OP's initial concern about Sense 7 on an M7, that would be great.
Currently my phone is running ARHD 93.0 on a 7.19.401.51 and after tinkering quite a bit I got Sense Toolbox (Xposed) to work and I'm rather happy with it.

Sense 7 ROMs are pretty much rock stable, with good performance. Battery life is a bit worse than Sense 6, but not much. I tried pretty much all sense 7 ROMs, and each one had at least one small bug that was very annoying to me, so I stuck with stock Sense 6 ROM. By small bug I really mean small, and there are fixes on xda, but I feel that Sense 7 doesn't bring any concrete upgrade, so I don't use it
