Latest Froyo Build (internal Google release) For Nexus One Leaked (FRF72)

Good thing for our readers that I’m a night owl, and I happen to love my Nexus One, and love me some frozen yogurt. Especially together:

Nexus One with Froyo

 

And now I have my T-Mobile Nexus One updated with the latest and greatest FRF72 build.

I just happened to be browsing a forum about the upcoming official Android 2.2 Froyo release when I see someone leak a URL for the FRF72 build that Google Employees were given a week ago. Someone at xda-developers.com seems to be the original source.

Download URL and Instructions

Here’s the URL for the upgrade, while it lasts:

 

http://android.clients.google.com/packages/passion/signed-passion-FRF72-from-FRF50.bc033f9e.zip (1.9MB)

 

 

Based on the filename, it appears to be an incremental build from FRF50, so you must already have FRF50 installed to use this new build.

I followed the same instructions that we posted here on AndroidPolice.com a few weeks back when FRF50 was leaked, and they worked just fine for me. After step 9, scroll to the top, select Reboot, and go grab a coffee.

For whatever reason, the first reboot after installing a new ROM takes forever. Here’s my timeline:

(02:02:49 AM) rebooting phone after flashing
(02:03:26 AM) nexus animation starting
(02:05:52 AM) home screen shows up, swipe to unlock, and in the system settings to prove:

DSC07264

 

Total reboot time was just over 3 minutes. Which felt like ages after waiting for the next Froyo build to drop.

What’s In The Upgrade?

We have no idea. We’ve heard rumors that Flash support was updated, and some improvements to make the web browser operate even faster. As we discover anything, we’ll be sure to let everyone know.

Personally, I haven’t noticed any changes yet, but I’ll add more details here if I find anything.

EDIT: Change of headline, this update is an internal Google release ONLY. The OTA for everyone else is still some time away :|

Google Nexus One

South Koreans will soon be able to buy Google Nexus One phone. Telecoms Korea is reporting that KT will start selling 4,000 Nexus One phones as pre sale orders soon, while the actual online and offline sales with begin in July end.

Another reason to be happy for Korean consumers is the presence of Froyo in the device. While Nexus One users around the world are still waiting for Android 2.2 to land on their phones, South Korean version will have it pre-installed.
