Droid 2 Gets Benchmarked with Android 2.2 on board

Droid 2 isn't available until sometime later this month, but photos & specs details has been around for a couple of weeks now. So what's next? how about a Quadrant benchmark? As you can see, the Droid 2 which will be launched with Android 2.2 inside shows an amazing results, it clearly has a better score than the Droid X & Samsung Galaxy S (both using Android 2.2) and just nearly surpasses the Nexus One.

Just a reminder, the Droid 2 is the successor of the successful Motorola Droid and will have a pretty much same specification as the Droid X. It boast a 1GHz OMAP processor, 512MB of RAM, 5MP camera, 8GB Internal Storage, a slide out physical keyboard & of course, Android 2.2 combined with MotoBLUR interface.

Android 2.2 is coming to Samsung Galaxy S in September

According to Samsung UK Mobile twitter account, they tweeted that the international version of Galaxy S will receive the Android 2.2 update in September. About three days ago, the Galaxy S owners could update their device using the leaked update for Android 2.2. But there are reports saying that the update is still very buggy and unstable. Considering all of those stuffs, I think it is safer to wait for the official release on September.

Hopefully, after the update, Samsung also will fix the occasional lag that I had experienced when I'm playing with the Galaxy S at the ICS a couple of weeks ago. We'll keep you posted about it!

New Froyo update for Nexus One is now available

Ever since yesterday, some Nexus One owners apparently received another update for Android 2.2. After the first update (Build number FRF50) then the second update (FRF72) and the last one is FRF83, and now the new update will have build number FRF85B. No news about what improvement the new update brings, but since the update size is pretty small (if you're coming from FRF83), I'm guessing its just a couple of bug fixing.

If you haven't receive the OTA update, you could try browse to Settings > About Phone > System updates. If that doesn't work, you could do it manually, all you need to do is download the required file:

  • If you're coming from build number FRF83, here's the link
  • If you're coming from build number EPE54B, here's the link

After you have download the file, rename it to update.zip then flash it. The 'how-to-flash' instruction is pretty much the same with the one that we have shared before.

Froyo code is dropped into the AOSP

The wait for Android Devs is over, as Google has finally made the Froyo code available for all. At the Droid X event, Andy Rubin confirmed this news by saying:

Android 2.2 is being open-sourced today. Everyone can start hacking on it right now, and start making it even better.

So what does this means? It means that the official Froyo will be pushed to the Nexus One real soon, it also means that phone manufacturers can now work to merge Froyo with their custom UI (I'm looking at you HTC) and last but not least, now developers can download and start building the Froyo-based ROMs (eg. Cyanogen). YAY!

Nexus One Froyo Update FRF72 leaked and available for download

We're not even have the official Froyo update from Google, yet the update for the Froyo it self has been leaked to the internet. A couple of months back, still fresh in our memory that Froyo is available to download. But apparently it's a beta build and it should only available for certain people. Now thanks to a source at xda-developers, this new update is now available to download and like the previous update, it needs to be installed manually to your Nexus One.

The leaked update requires the FRF50 be installed first before you flash the FRF72. You can check the 'how-to' from here. All in all, this is appeared to be just a minor update, fixes some wireless network and keyboard issues.

With a little bit of hack, the Nexus One is capable to shoots a 720p video

Man! The guys from the XDA-Developers forum never sleeps aren't they? This time the community presents a hack, which allows you to record a 720p video from your Nexus One. The video is a bit choppy at times and the sound quality is awful, but this is a work in progress so expect a better release in the future.

To apply the hack, you must have a rooted Nexus One and also running CyanogenMod CM 5.0.8test3 along with the Froyo's radio update. If you want to know more about the hack, go here to check it out.

Okay gotta admit, the hack is pretty darn scary.. so if you're not sure what you're about to do, then move along.

Your Nexus One haven't got the Android 2.2 OTA update? Do it manually!

Just a couple of days after the announcement of Android 2.2 Froyo, the update has been rolled out to some of the Nexus One owners. Unfortunately lots of people are saying that they haven't receive any notification about the OTA update, especially if you live outside US. Well not to worry, because now you can update your Nexus One to Android 2.2, manually!

Let me remind you though, this is not for the faint of heart. Requires you to go to your phone recovery mode, then apply the update from there. Oh and one more thing, this is for the non-rooted phone only. If your phone has been rooted, you can try this one, but do it carefully.

Still want to update? Here's the instruction on how to do it,

Flash Player on the Nexus One, Android 2.2 release is imminent?

Adobe evangelist, Ryan Stewart has teased us with a new video showing off the latest version of Flash 10.1 on his Nexus One. He showed us about 6 websites that uses a pretty heavy flash usage and from that video, we could tell that, even though there are some noticeable lag, overall the performance is really good, the animation works really well, the video is also played on an acceptable frame rate.

If you watched the whole video, you'll notice that there's a little surprise at the end of the video. Presumably a glimpse of a new home screen (notice the new Google Search bar, also the new launcher at the bottom of the screen). So it seems that the release of Android 2.2 a.k.a Froyo is imminent, probably will be unveiled at the Google I/O on 19th of May? We'll just have to wait and see.
