“Blessed” ADP1 Images Soon
According to insiders, adp1 owners will soon be able to get back to factory without using any of our images. (“Soon” is better than “we’re working on it”, although still not as good as “download line forms to the right.”) This is great news for anyone hesitating to upgrade. Unfortunately, there is also some bad news…
The flip side of that is that the official stance on image changes on the ADP1 is “sucks to be you.” For those who are worried, this includes the “holiday” update and new radio image, which was originally intended only for the Google holiday-bonus units.
And this also includes the “official” use of the ADP1, namely framework/master/”cupcake” development. If you flash nonstandard firmware, they won’t help, no matter what is wrong. (Presumably that will change when the image comes out. But..)
And just to round things out, here are some stock images you may want in the meantime :)
Stock ADP1 system image: ADP Backup (Stock) (1605)
Fastboot-flashable version of same: ADP Backup (Stock) Fastbootable (1182)

The only real downside of the stock image for me is that you have less room for applications and cache. Something to do with on the adp all apps are from source instead of opex files or something.

@balachmar,
Its not source/bin, its odex – in JF’s images and G1 images, the odex is stored on /system. In adp1 stock images, it is built at runtime and stored in /data with the rest of your data and apps.

okay. im a Android Dev Phone 1 owner who thought i was ready to update, now i just feel confused.
i got my ADP1 back recently from warranty and never had much time to play with it, but i want to update my ADP1 to firmware 1.1 from the factory default of 1.0.
im wondering what you mean by “Blessed” ADP1 Images. are we talking about offical ADP1 firmware from google instead of “leaked” images or what? if so, that would be great because, until now i can only seem to find ADP1 firmware on third party sites like this one.
what are the differences of the ROM updates you posted here:

and here:

i have flashed phones before and the android process dont seem much worse, i just never been so confused about what ROM firmware update to pick, or if i should still wait for an offical update.
at least i dont seem to be the only one confused:

also, as i have already had several problems with the first ADP1 (scrollwheel, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi all broke) needing to be replaced, i dont really want to load any ROM firmware that might void my warranty, let alone brick my phone.
thanks to everyone in advance!
