I like to have all original sized images, but to share they’re just too large. So here’s a quick tutorial how to batch resize and compress your images with a shell one-liner:

- Install ImageMagick with something like:
sudo apt-get install imagemagick
- Copy all the images you want to resize to a folder (keep the original one’s)
- Resize and compress all Images with:
mogrify -scale 50% -compress JPEG -quality 70  *.JPG

Mogrify is very powerfull. You can find a list of all supported options here.

EDIT: Google removed the Download Image. Manual Updates are no more possible.
Google rolls out Android 2.2 for the N1 right now. To manually upgrade your N1 to FroYo:

- Download update Image
- Rename the Image to update.zip
- Shut down your N1
- While powering up, hold down the Volume-Down button
- Choose recovery with the Volume-Down button and press the Power-Button
- When you see a big exclamation point, press the Power and Volume-Up button
- select “Apply sdcard:update.zip.”
- Wait until your Phone reboots

You should check your Battery status before to make sure you Phone can complete the whole Update Process.

This Tutorial is confirmed to work in the UK, and now also for Swiss N1′s. I love the new Thetering Options (USB and a Portable WiFi hotspot on your N1), and the auto-Update feature for your installed Apps.
