Android 2.2 Froyo source code available today

It's still not hitting the bulk of Nexus Ones as far as we can tell, but for what it's worth, Google has unleashed the source code for Android 2.2 today, which is a solid sign that the code's been bulletproofed to the Open Handset Alliance's satisfaction and is ready for deployment across a number of phones from different manufacturers and carriers. It's still ultimately up to a bunch of gatekeepers in suits to decide when various models will get the upgrade, but this is basically zero day -- so let the countdown begin.

CyanogenMod in 3...2....1....

@Peter F

+1, as long as he removes that shit-ass aftermarket music app in 508+.

[Mike10010100 Posted Jun 23rd 2010 2:43PM]

@Peter F

Woooo! 2.2! On my Hero please? With unicorns? rofl

Nexus One owners, you lucky dogs.

[JonnyB Posted Jun 23rd 2010 2:46PM]

@Peter F
I give them 14 hours and they'll have the Nexus1 and Evo sporting this

@Mike10010100
My Nexus One still doesn't have the update I'm on 2.1 still.

[Mike10010100 Posted Jun 23rd 2010 2:48PM]

@massalo

Well yeah, but you could always flash the new ROM. It's available for Nexus One. 2.2 isn't even possible right now for the Hero :(

[Peter F Posted Jun 23rd 2010 2:49PM]

@Level 5
I haven't used CyanogenMod since Froyo came out, but I loved 5.0.6-Test1 I had before then! I ran the phone for nearly a month without rebooting!
Then I flashed the first Froyo leak without clearing my phone. Now it reboots randomly at least once a day and I'm too lazy to format it.

[huskie fluff Posted Jun 23rd 2010 2:51PM]

@Peter F doesnt cgen need busybox? can you tell me what busybox is, im to lazy to figure it out (using stock rooted 2.1 with 1.2 ghz kernal)

[tekdemon Posted Jun 23rd 2010 3:17PM]

Here's hoping someone can port it to some Windows Mobile phones *cough*TP2*cough*

[dr steve brule Posted Jun 23rd 2010 3:18PM]

@Peter F Im more excited about soon having 720p on my nexus one in froyo, maybe the added speed will up the 20 fps cap too. :)

[Vamadeus Posted Jun 23rd 2010 3:36PM]

@Peter F

Can't wait! Just a matter of time until my G1 is running Froyo!

[jim28 Posted Jun 23rd 2010 3:44PM]

@massalo 2.2 was never officially released.

[scorpeo Posted Jun 23rd 2010 4:10PM]

As soon as 2.2 drops, game over!!! I can't see Apple doing anything to top Froyo, the ability to push content from the web to a device running Froyo, is a major win-win for Google, among other great features. Don't get me wrong, there are elements of 2.1 that are superior to OS4.

[xdreamer Posted Jun 23rd 2010 4:55PM]

@Peter F
Froyo! Froyo! Froyo! Froyo!

@Level 5
Shit ass? It's a hell of a lot nicer than the stock music app which is replaces and noone is holding a gun to your head and stopping you from installing the music app you like so go away please.

[BHFoster Posted Jun 23rd 2010 2:41PM]

That looks like shit.

[commenter7 Posted Jun 23rd 2010 2:42PM]

@BHFoster

Hmm, it tastes rather sweet to me...

[Level 5 Posted Jun 23rd 2010 2:43PM]

@BHFoster

So does your face

:D

[graemegb Posted Jun 23rd 2010 2:44PM]

@BHFoster
um, let me guess you're an iPhony user?

[BHFoster Posted Jun 23rd 2010 2:44PM]

@commenter7
A mobile commodore, nice.. real slick :)

[liquidkernel Posted Jun 23rd 2010 2:51PM]

@BHFoster I was going to write a witty, well thought-out response to your feeble minded comment, but then realized it would be nearly impossible to steer anyone off their one-track Apple mind. "Think Different" is a slogan that I think no longer applies.

[huskie fluff Posted Jun 23rd 2010 3:00PM]

@BHFoster to bad you cant use that on your iphone eh? it uses flash.

[BHFoster Posted Jun 23rd 2010 3:03PM]

@huskie fluff
No but I can tether it to my Macbook Pro :)

[Seven2k Posted Jun 23rd 2010 3:14PM]

@liquidkernel

you are so right! Thats why google RULZ NOW!!

[rawbros Posted Jun 23rd 2010 3:16PM]

@BHFoster

The sad thing is your ignorant comment is based on a shot of the screen when its stock and hasn't been customized. The endless ways you can change how things look is great, from backgrounds to live wallpapers, basic to custom icons and widgets, a couple screen to many with shortcuts pinned to the bottom.

But hey, maybe you prefer trolling due to a preference for Apple's plain wall of icons. Oh wait, you guy JUST got the ability to use wallpapers :P

[HeeHaw Posted Jun 23rd 2010 3:17PM]

@BHFoster Thank you, I had no idea. You must be an expert.

[rstoplabe14 Posted Jun 23rd 2010 3:37PM]

@huskie fluff
But I can on my Nexus One with Froyo

[huskie fluff Posted Jun 23rd 2010 4:12PM]

@rstoplabe14 amen brotha. bra. bomine. broseph. ma homie.
eww

[spielnicht Posted Jun 23rd 2010 6:42PM]

@BHFoster You're such a simple minded troll, stick to your iPhollow.

[Colours Posted Jun 23rd 2010 2:42PM]

So I can expect HTC to get around to this in about 6 months,

[joshroseca Posted Jun 23rd 2010 2:44PM]

@Colours

MY EVO NEEDS IT!!

[pika2000 Posted Jun 23rd 2010 2:48PM]

@Colours ... by simply releasing new models with 2.2 instead of updating the previous models.

[liquidkernel Posted Jun 23rd 2010 2:49PM]

@Colours I know what you mean. HTC will take a year and a day to update Sense to work with it. I like Sense, but I might just go AOSP if it means I can't have 2.2 in a timely fashion. Hopefully the brilliant minds at xda-dev can whip something up.

[Wiizer Posted Jun 23rd 2010 3:53PM]

@Colours

Anyone know of any news on the HTC HD2 front? Have they got Android working on that thing yet?

[esp Posted Jun 23rd 2010 5:35PM]

@Colours I get the feeling that updates are likely to be quicker this time. Many of the tentacles that Sense needed to implant in the OS lose their necessity with the advent of Froyo e.g. USB tethering, data backup etc. Now that Google have done so much back end foundation work, things do not need to be as complicated for future updates. If Google do a reasonable job on the UI with Gingerbread then many of the handset front ends may well become themes and widget packs provided free for their customers rather than being too obtrusive. We will see.

[LSanna1488 Posted Jun 24th 2010 11:20AM]

@joshroseca Ill bet the devs at SDX have froyo on the Moment before the EVO, or maybe around the same time.

[add Posted Jun 23rd 2010 2:42PM]

Kewl!

[IAMKITTY Posted Jun 23rd 2010 2:42PM]

i feel as if one of my children was just reborned

[Apple Google Microsoft Posted Jun 23rd 2010 2:42PM]

Yeeeeeeaaaaaaa

[DefPoet Posted Jun 23rd 2010 2:42PM]

I'll give.5 hours before a Froyofail Rom is released for my evo and even shorter time for other phones

[Eyesack Posted Jun 23rd 2010 2:43PM]

oh gees, someone want to compile it for n1 yet? :)

[man Posted Jun 23rd 2010 2:44PM]

YUMMY!!!

[JavaJunkieInLV Posted Jun 23rd 2010 2:45PM]

I think I just froyo'd on my shorts

[huskie fluff Posted Jun 23rd 2010 2:46PM]

@JavaJunkieInLV rofl

[trashpants Posted Jun 23rd 2010 3:24PM]

@JavaJunkieInLV

I sharted i was that excited :(

(it rhymes which is cool.. but still :(...)

[Addyct Posted Jun 23rd 2010 2:46PM]

I've had the leaked version on my Droid for awhile, and it's great. Can't wait for this to work its way into my favorite ROM (Bugless Beast FTW)

[huskie fluff Posted Jun 23rd 2010 2:48PM]

@Addyct i never did get froyo to work on mmy droid, i think it was mainly due to the fact i used the sbf sp recoery install method, just put me in a boot loop?

[Addyct Posted Jun 23rd 2010 2:52PM]

@huskie fluff Yeah, I just went ezmode method and started using ROM Manager. Koush puts a ton of work into that thing, It's great.
