Android 2.3 Gingerbread source code was released yesterday and we already have Gingerbread AOSP ROM for Nexus One. It’s released by Chris Soyars and does have some shortcomings. Here is official word from Chris:
Here is a build of AOSP for the Nexus One. A few things to note.
- This may overwrite your recovery.
- Does not include ANY proprietary applications (find your own). That means no market.
- Plain vanilla AOSP.
- I will not release any builds for other devices, as we still have to work on those.
- Requires, REQUIRES, 35.0017 hboot.
- Nexus One ONLY.
- No camera (because I am lazy).

Looking for easy way to activate tethering on Nexus One? If you have installed Froyo, you can use this simple application developed by jmdsdf on XDA to activate tethering on Android 2.2 Froyo.
It’s a program that just opens Menu | Settings | Wireless | Tethering & Portable hotspot and then exits.
Download TetherSettings.apk for Android 2.2 Froyo.
If you haven’t yet installed Android 2.2 Froyo, don’t wait for Froyo OTA update. You can install Froyo on Nexus One manually. Froyo for HTC Hero is also available for download, in case you didn’t have the Nexus One smartphone.
Flash Player 10.1 for Froyo is available for download from Android Market. Nexus One users who have just installed Android 2.2 Froyo OTA or manually, can download Flash Player 10.1 from Android Market. It’s required to run flash on Froyo and the update doesn’t come with Flash pre-installed. So, you have to download and install it manually, as an app.
So go to Android Marketplace and download Flash Player 10.1 Beta for Froyo to experience Flash based websites and games on your Nexus One.
We have just had Froyo OTA and Android 2.2 Froyo Stock download update available and guess what, Cyanogen, a member of XDA Forums has posted Quick Rooter that could root your Nexus One running Android 2.2 Froyo. So you can have full root access of Froyo powered Nexus One. Here is what you need to do to perform the root operation:
- Download and install Android 2.2 Froyo stock on Nexus One (See: how to)
- Download Quick Rooter
Froyo Quick Rooter will not only give you full access on Nexus One but will also add Busybox and Superuser. Here is the note from Cyanogen:
Just a quickie to enable root access on the new FroYo OTA.. This is *not* a full ROM, but meant to be flashed over an existing stock installation. This is just something I threw together for myself until Google releases the source to AOSP and CM6 can get underway.
Note for users who updated with Froyo OTA update: You need to reflash your recovery with Clockwork or Amon prior to perform the root operation.
