Nexus One Android 2.3 Update Release Date – Today!!

You might have heard already today that Android 2.3 has been announced. We now hear that the Nexus One Android 2.3 update is now being pushed out. From what we understand, the update brings all features to the Nexus One other than what requires new hardware such as NFC and Gyroscope.

The new Android 2.3 SDK is also available as of today.

My Droid is said to not be on the list to get this version. Hopefully Pete makes one for the Droid.

I can't imagine he - or someone else - would not make one.

Then there is the 2.3 update rolling out to the Droid X which is NOT gingerbread, but some bug fixes (all minor and stuff I have not been hit with) and an Android version of Madden 11. Yeah, thats what I want - a game sitting in memory as a protected app.

I did manage to uninstall a bunch of the bloatware on the DX, but I had to go into the terminal emulator and mount a folder as r/w before I could do it. Not fun typing linux commands on a virtual keyboard.

You sure that it is 2.3 that is rolling out to the Droid X or is it 2.2.3 or something. I am pretty sure they would not be able to call it 2.3 unless it was Gingerbread without having issues.

It is an update numbered 2.3 something or other, but it is not android 2.3.

They are calling it system version 2.3.340, but Android version 2.2.1; stupid.

Yes it is very stupid. What a way to confuse the masses.

No ADB? I know in the past I've used a program called SDX Stock App remover or something like that, that also worked well for things like this.

It isnt rolling out yet. The alleged update is a smaller, less interesting update.

Is the Nexus One already Receiving Its Gingerbread Update? [Update: Nope! In a Few Weeks] | Android Phone Fans

I just received a message wanting me to update mine, but it won't update of course because mine is rooted. I shouldn't even get the message though or at least I thought I am not supposed to with Pete's Bugless 0.5

I am still trying to figure out how to use ADB. I downloaded the developers kit, but have not had time to play with it. I knew from the instructions all I had to do what type in the one command to get r/w, so I turned off swype temporarily and it wasn't too bad. Once I had r/w, I was able to use root explorer to go through the files and rename the ones I did not want to have running anymore. Ironically root explorer would permit me to make the actual root directory r/w, but not any of the subfolders.
