Is Froyo (FRF50) official - or just an "accident"?

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?

[Q] HORRIBLE camcorder quality!

Hey everyone. This is only my second post here (I usually use google to solve all of my problems) but I can't figure this out for the life of me. I rooted my phone a couple months back, and flashed Cyanogenmod 6. All was well, except I noticed the camcorder's quality went from OK to dreadful. I figured "okay, maybe it's the ROM. I'll flash AOSP 0.9.9.2."..... no luck, same problem. And in AOSP, the camera app also crashes sometimes. Does anyone have an idea of what could be going wrong? Thanks in advance!

This is because the working camera driver for custom builds is a hack at best. Until one of the later patches, it would cause the camera force-close on double-tap zoom. It's mostly stable on the camera side now (although picture quality still doesn't match the stock firmware), but the camcorder size has a lot of room for improvement.
Hopefully one day someone will step up and finish the job (or one day I'll stop being lazy and do it).

thanks for the response. another question, if you feel like helping haha. What would you say is the fastest, most stable rom for the CDMA hero as of now?

didnt you just ask that in theimpaelers thread witch myself and theimpaeler awnserd

i...............uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh maybe. yeah. it's been a long day and i'm getting forgetful.. i actually did forget i already asked that. sorry, i now feel like an idiot =)

its what im here for lol.

The latest OTA updates brought bugfixes and improvements in speed. I would highly recommend revisiting the stock firmware if you haven't used the latest updates.
If you're looking to make it snappier, I would suggest the ZenKernel or even the DecaFuct kernel if you don't mind it breaking your trackball backlight.
I was serious about the stock firmware being the most stable. I'm running it myself (albeit with an overclocked kernel), and the only issue I've found with it so far is that Facebook for HTC Sense is no longer able to sync contact photos (probably due to a Facebook API change). CM7 on the Hero still has many issues to be fixed.

[Q] Scrolling terrible on Cyanogenmod roms?

Every Cyanogenmod rom I've tried, bet it 4.1/4.2 has really bad scrolling issues where the screen/page keeps snapping back. It is very obvious when you scroll fast. Nobody seems to post this problem in the threads for the roms and whenever I do, I never get a response as if I'm the only one with the issue. However, I've seen videos of others with the same roms and whenever they scroll I can see the same problem. Will this issue ever be fixed, or will be people continue to pretend it doesn't exist? I really want to use a ROM without Sense but the issue is just so frustrating.

I have the same issue with most custom roms.
This is why I have a fear for custom roms now. Users claim that the rom is stable/ excellent, yet I find lots of issues when I flash them.
btw, if your kernel supports STweaks, you lighten this issue by going to screen > touchmove sensitivity > 20 pixels

oops, you caught a samsung user hanging out in the htc section hahahaha
but yeah I just googled "horrible scrolling cyanogenmod" because I have had the same problem across two samsung phones.

I have no real problem on 4.3 or any CyanogenMod ROM for that matter. Smooth sailing. All except CM7, for some reason it jolted and skipped around. Anything beats stock ROM as well

[$50] Bounty to fix wake lag on Lineage/RR

I'll keep a list in the OP of everyone who agrees to donate to whoever fixes this and a running total. It sounds like this isn't going to be an easy fix, so let's try to reward whoever can solve it. I'll start at $50.
Current total: $50
Edit: Papp's seems to have gotten the lag down to about a second in latest RR test build. Time to pay up! If you appreciate his work and didn't get a chance to offer any money for this fix, donate to @pappschlumpf. Thanks very much for all of your hard work, we really appreciate it!!

Am I the only one this bothers? Takes a solid 3 seconds to wake phone with fingerprint. How is that ok?

I've tried one of the early builds but the delay wasn't that long, I was like: ''Well, okay.'' about it. But tbh seen a lot of complaining posts by you, there aren't many people who complain about it like you do. So i guess the bounty list will be having just a single digit in my opinion lol. But i understand your frustration though, hopefully it gets sorted out. Have a good day.

Phone is still relatively new to me, so I'm still in the "show off the pretty phone" phase. When people try to turn on that big beautiful display, it's embarrassingly slow. Maybe not a big deal if you came from a much slower, older phone, but for those of us who came from phones like the Oneplus 3, Moto Z Play, Nexus 6P, etc, it's very noticeable. I really hate MIUI, though, so I'm sticking with it. Hopefully a dev finds a fix, but sounds like Papps have given up.

My previous device was an S6e+ which has no instant unlock feature by touching. Comparing to it; unlocking is faster and better for me, yet; it's quite good comparing to others as I've seen.
I dont generally show or give my phone to people, if I have to; I would just give or show it when unlocked lol. Anyway. Miui was my secondary reason to buy a Mi device, 6.4 inch screen was primary. I really like lovely mi interface that's why I have used miui roms on my both previous devices too. Would like to have a multi-window of Los though. Missing that freak a lot but sigh.

Yeah split screen and Android pay are the biggest pluses for aosp over miui 8. Sounds like the upcoming miui 9 will fix this, though.
And to be fair miui unlocks MUCH faster than lineage/RR/AICP

you're the only person i've seen vocal about this as if it was actually 3 seconds for everyone there would be tons of posts about it.
i can tell no difference between an MIUI rom and what i currently get with Resurrection Remix. it may be slightly slower but it turns on near instantly for me.

Well, I've been complaining about it in the DragonXia LOS kernel thread and nothing came of it. So no, he's not the only one that this bothers. Especially when a Redmi Note 3 unlocks way faster.

Are you pressing the power button, or using the fingerprint while screen is off? If you use fingerprint after turning the screen on with the power button, it's a lot quicker. Which is why I think it's fixable and not a FP driver issue.

I am also facing an issue with Lineage OS as well. Occasionally it lags for a second before turning on. Never had this in the original MIUI

If you guys are serious about getting this fixed, throw some money in the pot and if someone can fix it, we'll donate to them. The more money we raise, the more likely someone will take the time to figure it out.

Yeah, looking forward to 9 in EPIC. As for split screen, I don't think I used it once on my Nexus 6. Yes, I tried it out, but never bothered again. Expanded notifications (if they come) and being able to reply directly from notifications will be good though.
The unlock is one of the quickest on any phone but there is definitely a 1-2 sec delay on RR/LOS the last I tried either of them. The delay doesn't really bother me, it's more the lack of sound. It's a really minor niggle but I like the audio feedback to let me know it's unlocked without having to immediately look at the screen.

i never touch the power button unless i'm rebooting the device. i only use the fingerprint

Same issue for me. Take a good 2-3 second to the screen to wake up, whereas vibration feedback is really quick

Clearly this doesn't just bother me. In case you haven't seen a bounty thread before here's how it works: people agree to donate a certain amount of money to whichever dev fixes the issue. I'll keep a running tab in the OP with names and amounts. If/when a dev fixes the issue, wee donate the agreed to amount to them.
This is how lots of Motorola phones have gotten bootloaders unofficially unlocked, figure it's work a shot. Seems like our primary developers have decided it isn't worth fixing, let's show them it's something we care about.
UPDATE: Papps appears to be working on the issue. He's got a fix that shaves about 0.5-1 second off fingerprint unlock here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72909040&postcount=2325

Looks like we're down to about a second delay in Papp's latest RR test build. Going to close this thread and pay out the bounty. Thank you very much, Papp's!

Is anyone fed up of the 3T

Hear me out. I think the phone is amazing. The software is crap, now the 5 is out the updates have already slowed. Not to mention OOS is always behind on security.
Now custom roms. I appreciate highly the work so many devs have been doing especially sultan, lineage and paranoid. But theres always something thats a bit off, camera especially, lag etc. Always end up going back to OOS then get bored again, try roms again.
Is there anyone else like me who has had enough of being a crack flasher or gets bored easily and has just had enough of trying to find perfection from a oneplus phone ?

What do you want to hear? Need a confirmation for yourself to get another phone to make the step a bit easier?
Yes, I hate the manner of OnePlus to not even fix a single thing, like the implementation of the Camera2 API. Sure, they lied to us more often than we want. But what company does the job better?
If you want to get a new phone: Fine. I'm also looking for a replacement. But I'm looking for phones for weeks or months, so I'm sure, the phone is good enough and beloved by devs. For me, no OP-device anymore. But really fed up? No.

I dont meed a confirmation from anyone. Ive made a topic for discussion. For instance i have a oneplus one as well ae my back up. There is more stable nougat roms on that, a 3 year old phone than there is on the newer higher spec 3t. Phones are getting ridiculous. What the hell is with these curved screens now so no tempered glass fits properly.
The next phone i get needs to be something that will have good support. Preferably from a company who releases camera sources

LAG on OP3T? wtf :0
I agree with you, I dont like OOS but i love custom roms and PA is perfect, its so smooth and optimized and their camera software is on par with OOS cam

Ive seen lag on pa rom when opening messages and settings and a few other things. It was minor but it bugged me a lot. The camera i didnt think was on par although its better than most roms. I didnt find the camera snappy enough either

Honestly stock is the best for this phone by far. Set it up right and its the fastest phone out there. Are you talking about screen lag or application lag?

Ah! I am defeateddddd! Pa had application lag. For instance it opens but messages would appear after lag and same with settings. Stock is better but i hate the delay in updates that dont fix basic bugs or update security.

My 2 cents; OOS continues to be good enough I don't even bother to unlock anymore. I was a Nexus fan for sure, but the 6P was my end of the line (yeah yeah, end of the line anyway). I had numerous issues and it finally got the bootloop problem that was plaguing many users. I got a used replacement, sold it and never looked back from the 3T. I tried most roms for the Nexus lines and while many were excellent, it was always something. When I got the 3T I decided to just leave it stock for a week and have not looked back. I get at least 2 days from it, it charges insanely fast, have had no lag/reboots/lockups, nothing. I would say I'm a fairly normal user except no social media really, privacy and all.
I keep a tab on what's new and as of today, nothing at all has tweaked my interest. Samsung/Motorola/HTC = never, too bloated. Pixel = too expensive.
I do feel the security updates are a bit slow and some additional OOS goodies would be nice, but for the price, for me it's hands down still the best phone.

Stock is the best rom, ftw

I don't know and I don't care to be honest. The stable version of OOS is an inferior version of the beta at this point. The beta is 100% stable in my experience and offers more features than the stable one as you've said.

Wlan signal quality is very bad with mine.
Noticeable in many games, when it is endlessly stucked until the it the signal gets through again.
With 4G there is 0 problems, it's only this weak Wlan module, it's getting on my nerve.
