How to Install MIUI Version 4 on Nexus One

The Nexus One is the device that many people had once craved for. But, let’s face it–it is not a hot thing anymore, as better devices are popping out in the market. This is inevitable, though–a time will definitely have to come when a product becomes obsolete.  In this case, obsolete in terms of the “What’s the hot thing?” criterion. But, for those who have kept their Nexus One alive, there is great news for you. The time for your Nexus One to get some slick and classy upgrade has finally come. For those who still do not know, version …

The Evolution of the Nexus Phone: Will Google Have Anything More To Offer?

The Evolution of the Nexus Phone: Will Google Have Anything More To Offer?

Samsung recently announced the release of the new Nexus phone, the Galaxy Nexus. This one’s equipped with a fast dual-core processor, and powered by the new Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS. With its 720HD display, we all doubt there is anything a techie lover would ask for more.

According to Google: Nexus One will not get Official ICS update

According to Google: Nexus One will not get Official ICS update

It shouldn’t come as surprise to many of us that the Nexus One won’t be getting an official update to Android 4.0 – Ice Cream Sandwich. According to Google’s Hugo Barra, as reported by the Telegraph, the Nexus One is just too old to receive the update. Which is basically what we figured, and why it wasn’t on our prediction list to get the ICS upgrade. In all reality, the hardware simply isn’t powerful enough to ensure for a good experience. But, as we have all gotten used to over the last couple years, we fully expect someone to put together …

Nexus One Running Ice Cream Sandwich & What it Means for You

Nexus One Running Ice Cream Sandwich & What it Means for You

According to PocketNow, the Nexus One seems to be back in business, running Android’s new OS version, 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. A developer known as dr1337m, had recently taken advantage of the new SDK by porting it to new devices, most notably the Nexus One. There are, however, still a variety of different issues with the port. Some of these problems include audio instability, small transitional animation glitches, and the broken use of Wi-Fi, for the average mobile speed demon. Even though that are some pretty major bugs, these could be worked out by developers soon, because in all fairness, the port was released pretty quickly. …

Nexus-One-Gingerbread

Congratulations Nexus One owners, the wait for Gingerbread is almost over. Today, Google has finally begun pushing out the latest version of Android, codenamed Gingerbread, to Nexus One devices.

Nexus S owners can also look forward to an OTA update as well, which includes fixes for some annoying and troublesome issues, like the random reboot issue, and support for Near Field Communication. It also includes a substantial change that prevents Facebook from syncing the …

Android 2.2.1 available for the Nexus One

Android 2.2.1 available for the Nexus One

The word on the wire is that Android version 2.2.1 is available for the Nexus One. I’ll state it now to avoid disappointment in a few sentences; It is not a major update. At a measly 3.9MB we suspect that this is a simple maintenance release, but as shown in the picture from Android Central, it will make your Nexus One say “FRG83″. Sweet. Although Google have not released an official note regarding the update, nor is there an official ‘changelog’ to details what is new, really smart people at xda-developers are allegedly stating that this update ‘patches the vulnerability …

Nexus One receives additional Android 2.2 Froyo update, FRF91

Nexus One receives additional Android 2.2 Froyo update, FRF91

A forum thread over at XDA-Developers has revealed that the Google Nexus One is receiving yet another official OTA update to Android 2.2, bringing the build up to FRF91. The word on the street is that this update is a security fix, and as one XDA forum poster notes; “My guess would be that it’s probably a fix to the exploit which allows people to root without unlocking the bootloader.” Of course, it is his guess. If you want to check out the update file yourself you can access it here. The update .zip is only 2m large and this …

Nexus One coming ot South Korea with KT

Thanks to carrier KT, the Google Nexus One (N1) is headed to South Korea this month. Come June 21st there will be a conservative 4,000 units available initially. Roll on July and the device will be ‘widely available’. There are no real surprises with this device other than the fact the N1 with KT is set to come preinstalled with Android 2.2, aka, Froyo.

Android 2.2 Froyo launched too early?

Android 2.2 Froyo launched too early?

For those that are blissfully unaware, Google started pushing Android 2.2 (Froyo) to the Nexus One a little over 3 days ago. However, Google put the update file online for those users that wanted to do the update themselves manually (and avoid the wait!). However, after shortly doing so, Google promptly removed this file and nothing more was said. Of course, the file found its way online anyway since many users had already downloaded it. It turns out that those users who downloaded this file and installed it manually may have installed an ‘unfinished’ version of Froyo, or at least …

Manually update your Nexus One to Android 2.2 Froyo

That didn’t take long. The over the air (OTA) update for Froyo on the Nexus One just started last night, and already somebody has found the update file on a Google server (for the T-Mobile version, at least).  The Google link comes from XDA-Developers, and the directions below are taken from an old AndroidCentral post. The safest way to get the Froyo update is to just wait for it to come OTA, of course.  Do the manual update at your own risk…. Download the update zip file from Google. Rename the file to update.zip. Copy the update.zip file onto your …
