Okay, I'll give you the general idea, as I understand it:

The FRF50 ROM that was leaked from Google is exclusively for ERE27 Builds only. Unless that is the native build on your phone, you will not be able to apply that as is.

Paul O'Brien, over at Modaco, repacked it so that it can be flashed with any current ROMs. Though he's said that there are no conditions, there in fact are a few stipulations to be aware of.

-If you have never unlocked your bootloader, you won't be able to flash anything at all. Something to think about. There's a few threads here dedicated to this topic alone. It voids your warranty so that is why some people are holding off and waiting for the official OTA update to be released.

-Though it's true that you don't have to be rooted to flash Paul's repack, unless you have ERE27 stock, you need to flash using one of the custom recovery images. And in order to flash your recovery.img, you need to be rooted. So you need to have had rooted before.

So the steps, from stock, would be:

(1) Unlock your bootloader, via flashboot.

(2) Flash superuser to your boot.img (aka rooting)

(3) Flash a custom recovery to recovery.img (I use RA)

(4) Flash Paul's FRF50 repack using said recovery image.

I'm sorry I can't post the links to the relavant posts, but my status as a member doesn't allow me to. Hope this helped clear some things up for you.

Paul, is that Avatar a picture of YOU?
[Nexus One General] jcohenlv:
OMG theres a search feature!!!

Really OMG I didnt know this! :rolleyes:

I guess me saying I searched threads and the site for 20 minutes was something you missed. :D

But thanks to all who actually decided to help and not be another one of these "USE SEARCH" people. :D

I respect the work you do for us here Paul, but come on man. Read before making a post like that ....lol :p

[Nexus One General] jp_macaroni:
you don't need to root to install froyo and you don't need to hook up your nexus to a pc. my method is pretty simple and it works.

edit: I shouldn't say it's my method. Its actully a backdoor to installing froyo.
[Nexus One General] attn1:
Okay, there's a lot of good info out there mixed in with a lot of mis-information.

Your steps will work BUT:

I prefer to do it this way:

Unlock the boot loader via fastboot

Flash Amon_RA 170 recovery for Nexus One

Do a nandroid Backup

Flash your ROM of choice (Modaco's FROYO in this case)

If you are running stock recovery, you CAN flash, but only Google's updates. If you have a T-mobile N1 this may work for you without unlocking the bootloader by flashing the Google Froyo Release with the stock recovery:

Google Froyo Release

You must be on release ERE27 for this to work.

Here's a link to some instructions on how to use the stock recovery program:

jp_macaroni's thread

I suspect that since most people have already rooted or cannot get to ERE27, Paul's guide is the best way to go for them.

If you are running a custom recovery, you can flash custom updates, but NOT Google's updates intended for any stock phone/firmware level.

You don't need to root (root access) to the current ROM before flashing a custom ROM. You only need to unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery image.
[Nexus One General] attn1:
Yeah you know, everyone is new once. It's easy to sort out the tripe from the real deal when you've been around the block once or twice. Paul is doing his best to be helpful and not cause more confusion.

The problem isn't that people can't search so much as it is that searches yield too much conflicting information, so lets not jump down people's throats when they ask for a point of clarification. Instead, lets start asking moderators to sticky good info and pulling redundant/bad info so that searches are more meaningful. The number of new threads in here because of the Froyo release is mind numbingly high. Let's all try to exercise some patience.
[Nexus One General] theletterj:
I'm not disagreeing with you, but as far as I know, yes, you do have to root in order to flash Amon_RA Recovery to your phone. If that's not correct, I apologize for spreading misinformation.
[Nexus One General] attn1:
You only need to unlock the bootloader. You do not need root.

Unlocking the boot loader allows installation of an alternate recovery, which allows you to install custom software to the existing ROM or to install a custom ROM. It's updating the ROM that allows you to gain root access, not unlocking the boot loader. It goes in this order:

> Unlock boot loader (void warranty - still not rooted)

> Install custom recovery

> nandroid backup (recommended/optional)

> Update ROM (for root access - or not)
[Nexus One General] jcohenlv:
The original instructions worked perfect :)

All that was needed was to change the name to update.zip load it on the root of the SD card then but the phone in bootloader and load recovery from SD.

Took about 5 minutes.

Once the phone came up it did a few things and took about another 5 minutes to chill on the processes then I was able to use the phone without any problems.

So for those interested here are the exact steps:

This is for NON Rooted T-Mobile Version!!!!

To manually install Android 2.2 on the Nexus One, perform the following steps:

1. Download the official Android 2.2 firmware for the Nexus One.

2. Copy the file to your microSD card and name it update.zip (newb warning: not update.zip.zip)

3. Power off your phone.

4. Hold down the VOLUME DOWN button and power it back on.

5. The phone will now search for files like PB00IMG.zip, etc. This is normal. Scroll down to recovery (using Volume Down Key) and press the POWER button.

6. When you see the “/!\” symbol, press the POWER button and the Volume Up button at the same time. You should be presented with a menu and one of the options should be “Apply sdcard:update.zip”.

7. Use the trackball to navigate to “apply sdcard:update.zip” and select it.

8. When you see “Install from sdcard complete”, select “reboot system now”.

Wait 5 minutes, phone will reboot once rebooted let the phone sit for about 5 minutes then you are good to go. It couldn't be any easier :)

I just recently popped my phone's cherry and unlocked the bootloader so that I could get Froyo on my AT&T Nexus One. Before the update I had setup my phone to plug into a car dock with a headphone out to auxiliary jack to my car speakers.

The volume was consistently good to my car stereo when unplugged from the dock and when plugged in before the update. Now, immediately after I plug in my phone to the dock with the headphone jack pushing media audio my volume is reduced by 10-20%. I have disabled the dock managing my media audio, put everything to max volume on phone, and it still reduces the audio as soon as I plug it into the dock.

Does anyone else have a similar setup? I realize mine may be unique and I'm on my own. Are there any deeper phone settings to check beyond the standard volume controls?
[Nexus One Accessories] vzwtech86:
Yeah I have the same problem. And my phone doesn't pick up my voice with voice commands and auto brightness doesn't work with the phone in the dock. Makes me wanna go back to Eclair...
[Nexus One Accessories] norok:
Still have not resolved this by any means available. Maybe the official ROM will fix this issue. Also my paid apps still have not shown up and I am noticing that when I pick up inbound calls people cannot hear me for a few seconds.

I was hoping by this point in June that the official Froyo for N1 would have been released and there would be a ROM floating around but no such luck!
[Nexus One Accessories] koruptor:
I've had a similar problem when my phone is docked with the car dock. In-call volume is extremely low, but other types of media are fine (i.e. music, navi, etc). My volume settings are maxed out too. I hope the official Froyo release fixes this problem. I use my car dock on a daily basis.
[Nexus One Accessories] ianken:
Looks like frf83 did not fix it. Car dock is useless for me. Seeing comments frome google that indicate they optimized for the cheesy built in speakers and hosed using the headphone jack while docked.

Pandora during the commute keeps me sane, and this ruins it. No froyo for me until this is fixed.
[Nexus One Accessories] phineous:
What I've discovered is when I car dock the phone media volume gets set to 12 out of 15 on the headphone jack. The volume setting GUI doesn't show that the volume has changed. Changing the media volume in settings doesn't affect the volume until I undock the phone.

Unfortunately for me that's too much output for my car stereo and music gets pretty distorted.

I downgraded to OTA ERD79 and the volume would remain the same when docked. I upgraded to the latest OTA and the max volume setting returned.
[Nexus One Accessories] cigar3tte:
Having the same problem. At least I found this problem is due to Froyo, not my car dock.

Still, wished the USB port is still open while docked so I can bypass the Car Dock's circuits and just use it as a holder only.

Haven't rooted my phone yet, but if the devs can fix the issue on a custom ROM, I will root.
[Nexus One Accessories] agentkalaw:
i used to have this set up where my phone was hardwired to the radio and after froyo i have noticed this problem too. I have now gone back to using a bluetooth connection (kensington liquidaux) and it seems to not have the problem.

for those following the other thread regarding the degradation of quality not just the low volume (double sucky). the bluetooth connection seems to not suffer the same fate.
[Nexus One Accessories] cigar3tte:
You're referring using Bluetooth vs AUX for the dock and car to communicate? I'm guessing most of us don't have that option on our cars.
[Nexus One Accessories] tankmorph:
Check out the Kensington Liquidaux. It is an aftermarket Bluetooth solution that lets you use any AUX connection.
[Nexus One Accessories] cigar3tte:
Seems like an overkill for $80, especially when I don't need any part of the mount.
[Nexus One Accessories] tankmorph:
The one I got was $29. (Edit: I looked all over and can't find it at this price anymore...shoulda bought two!) It just included the cigarette lighter part and a steering wheel remote.
[Nexus One Accessories] norok:
I have been waiting for a solution and still have not found one. I installed the latest Cynogen V6.0.0-RC1 and when reconfiguring for my dock I got full sound! I was greatly excited! Then... it dropped back down to its normal volume.

I need to figure out a way to disable the phone recognizing the dock entirely since I only use the dock for keeping it stable on my windshield and charging. Anyone have ideas?
[Nexus One Accessories] cigar3tte:
I don't think the dots would pass through the charge if the phone completely stops recognizing the dock. This problem didn't start until Froyo, I'm pretty sure there'll be a fix for it.
[Nexus One Accessories] Deixi:
I have the same problem. So much time has gone by since they released the car dock, first it was fine but after froyo the audio settings could not be saves anymore and the volume got much quieter.

No word from Google... nothing, no answer, no patch.

I'm really pissed, the car dock is almost unusable, except you go to audio settings every time you dock the phone and recheck the settings... :-(

there are already some people who reported the problem on the issue tracker. If you have the same problem please star the issue, but avoid giving "me too" comments... as everyone in the thread gets an email for your +1 comment.

I really hope Android 3.0 (Gingerbread) will bring up a solution. (If the N1 will receive it)
[Nexus One Accessories] yang901:
Hi guys,

There's so many add-in tools out in the market that can easily solve those volume level issue. (e.g. "Dock Volume", "Car Dock v2", and many "Locale" or "Tasker" apps) So in my personal option, this is not an issue at all.
[Nexus One Accessories] cigar3tte:
You're completely clueless to the issue at hand, please stay away from this thread. Most of those apps have been around before Froyo was even released.
[HD2 General] adamhlj:
Of the ones I know if, there are the following:

IE

Default Opera

Opera Mobile 10

Skyfire

Any others people use on here?
[HD2 General] secano:
9.7 the best
[HD2 General] gattaca714:
I think IE is the fastest, I wish it had pinch to zoom.
[HD2 General] mikesionu:
I like Skyfire for visuals and speed, but for forms and such the stock Opera seems to work best.
[HD2 General] roycio:
Opera Mini 5 is the best for me. Unfortunately I don't know how to make it the default browser. I also use skyfire for flash sites and the default Opera 9.7 for sites that requires password. But for everyday use, like ESPN, CNN, etc, etc, Opera mini 5 is the fastest and the best.
[HD2 General] rlee008:
My main browser is Opera 9.7 cause of the multi-touch and ease of use, for flash sites i use Skyfire and for speed and to use some websites that dont look right on the other browsers i use IE... but mostly its Opera

i tried opera 10 but meh, seemed bothersome... even tho its flash enabled..
[HD2 General] speoples20:
I use Opera 9.7 normally, but I've been giving Opera 10 a go. We will see I'm not 100% sold on it yet.
[HD2 General] ferrisnox:
I like Opera 10, but if Opera mini 5 could be made the default I would take that... its so fast! Opera 9.7 UI is terrible imo.
[HD2 General] Jayedamina:
I think i have tried all the browsers but i prefer opera 9.7 for daily use with skyfire for flash sites and opera mini 5 for speed browsing:D
[HD2 General] marmar82:
I prefer the stock opera browser...
[HD2 General] sears1234:
Opera Mobile 10 is sucks, :mad:

Opera Mobile 9.7 is much better.
[HD2 General] tuppaacc:
what are you guys talking about there is a scrip for making opera mini the default browser you guys should look for it!
[HD2 General] marduk79:
Opera. Don't know why but I started disliking IE a while back.
[HD2 General] jlczl:
Opera 9.7 ftw!
[HD2 General] starkall:
is there any others that offer flash support, everytime i download skyfire, it just sits like 75% done and wont complete the download but skyfire still opens and works but is kinda crappy and lags.
[HD2 General] mingkee:
I think Opera 10 is better.
[HD2 General] speoples20:
Because IE is a horrible browser.
[HD2 General] scrizz:
i hear you. I hate skyfire. It is a shame it is the only one that displays all flash properly.

I wish opera could display flash 9.x and 10.x
[HD2 General] bobdavisnpf:
IE is the only browser that works for most of the IT appliance GUI's I need to operate, but I wish it had pinch zoom. Zooming to fill in dialog boxes can be a pain, especially for entering passwords.

Opera's pinch is handy and makes filling in dialog boxes easier. But it fails to open the GUI screens on most of the devices I need to manage. Good for shopping, ok for webmail, getting work done not so much.

I do wish for a decent flash browser - some of our new IT reporting software uses Flash, and many of our online training sessions require it.

As a toy browser for fun 'n games though, stock Opera has been pretty cool.
[HD2 General] robrob777:
Opera 9.7

Opera 10 gives me a memory error.
[HD2 General] speoples20:
You could try Zoomer or BSB Tweaks to get pinch and zoom in IE. Its not true pinch and zoom buy it might work for you.
[HD2 General] rickjc181:
You can try uzard web. It offers better flash then what opera 10 has to give. Its still in beta though.
[HD2 General] tyllenny:
Been looking for the script... anyone have the link they could post?

It's not for lack of trying. Admittedly, I'm new to this, but I haven't been able to find anything helpful.
[HD2 General] pixine786:
Stock Opera 9.7
[HD2 General] avalst:
Anyone use the now defunked iris browser :) ?

[HD2 General] scrizz:
THIS!!

i like it the most, it has a few quirks but overall is one of the best browsers
[HD2 General] hattmoward:
The biggest thing keeping me away from Opera 10 and Skyfire is that the stock Opera 9.7 and IE have bookmark integration. Every time I try something new, I'm put off by having to re-enter bookmarks or find a way to sync. Full integration would be nice, but hell just a simple import would be okay.

(From what I can tell, hitting the bookmarks in both IE and Opera 9.7 is hooked to go out to an HTC bookmark manager, rather than the native ones. This makes it easy for them to integrate bookmarks in Sense from either browser too. So you can't blame Opera or Skyfire for not supporting something a particular vendor has slapped on. Still, people, make a standard! )
[HD2 General] dy2k:
I've tried all browsers and Opera Mobile 10 is the smoothest in scrolling and the fastest on 3G
[HD2 General] AyanamiZer00:
I've always just stuck with IE. I've got Skyfire, mostly for times when I'm away from my netbook, and I'd like to watch certain flash based video sites, which shall remain nameless.

For the minor web browsing I actually do on my HD2, IE gets it done just fine. I mean, pinch to zoom is cool, but I don't like the UI of Opera 9.7 at all.

Opera 10, on the other hand, performed quite well, and I really liked the home screen with the bookmarks. And the tabs, that's always nice. I used it a bit on my Tilt 2, but haven't used it yet on my HD2, even though it should work much better.

Give me Opera 10 with multitouch support, and I'm sold.
[HD2 General] N1M1TZ:
Went back to Opera 9.7, I found opera 10 a little wierd or I just have to turn on a new learning curve for it.
[HD2 General] me:
Opera Mini, of course. There is a version now for WM, not going through java.

I'm actually liking the IE on the HD2, seems much better than earlier versions of Pocket IE. I miss the tabs one has in the other browsers. But it sure starts up one hell of a lot faster than the Opera 9.7 which comes as the phone's default browser. (Opera Mini also starts up pretty fast. Skyfire also slow to start. I haven't yet tried Opera 10 on the HD2.)
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
opera10 was my favorite but on the hd2 it seems to cause out of memory errors and flash is hit or miss. Basically if it's not youtube, then it can't handle it.

IE is ok, plays some embedded flash content better than others and generally works, but I find the UI ugly on it.

Skyfire is only good for flash based games and certain flash based embedded video sites.

Opera 9.7 is not quite as fast as opera 10, but is fully integrated and seems to handle passwords and video a bit better so it wins (barely).
[HD2 General] me:
Isn't there a way to make it the default, a registry hack or something?
[HD2 General] addicus:
To make any browser your default (or conversely none so you can choose everytime) use JZ Browser. It is made by a developer here on XDA so search for it.

I use Opera 10 and have none of the issues others are listing. I love it. Especially the Opera Links. When I don't have 3G I use Opera Mini.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] masse1369:
For those asking how to change the icons everywhere, I'm pretty sure you can do that in NinjaMorph. It basically reassigns the .apk for you from your phone. You would just have to have the icons on your sd card...

No worries. If you want to add to it it's real easy, just drop new icons in assets/icons and resign the apk, upload and you're done.

The code will simply recurse the directory until it runs out of icons, they're not individually declared. Will support up to 16,000 or so... :)

NB: They work with Apps Organizer and Folder Organizer too!
