2.1 ESE53 will be Official Release on the VZW Motorola Droid

[justin82]

ok here is my 2 cents.. i am rooted and will be blocking this ota update. not to say i am not excited about this update i have freinds who have a droid that don't understand the time i spend installing roms..but to me it like a new phone every other day or so.. so they will finally be able to get live wallpapers (which i don't use they were cool for a day or so) multi touch and so on. there are 2 diffrent kind of droid users out there ones that root and ones that don't.. we should not beat up on one another about what one does with there phones. this is a forum everyone should be able to post there opionions without someone taking offense to it.. this is Droid forums and they welcome both users.. as stated earlier as well i would like to know the number of root users on 2.1 versus the number that will be receiving the OTA update.. could be interesting \.. just my 2c. i also fell like i need to stick up for the devs a littlebit. someone posted earlier that they just throw things at a rom more or less. these guys spend hours trying to make a rom work smooth and giving us all something that we want.. kudos to them they know more about it than i do.. and they give it away. to them thanks. stock users i am sure if you don't like it there will be a easy way to root in less than a week

What happened to Google Earth? I'm thinking I even saw a video of the developers saying it would be included in the next update. Anyone know about this?

Its on the market for 2.1 users and those who have hacked build.prop files.

So it will be a free app once we update to 2.1?

 

[adrynalyne]

Yep. Have it on my phone as we speak.

 

[Greg]

Cool and thanks.

 

[Sal]

March 18th it will begin to roll out

How do these updates come along? What's the play by play and what action is required other than a reset?

 

[diverbelow]

CK or anyone - do you know if the upcoming official 2.1 ROM for our phones will include Skype as Skype said it will be coming this month?

 

[SSHGuru]

Ok I downloaded Helix and it's pretty amazing so far. Can someone explain why it's FASTER than my home screen. It makes no sense.

 

[adrynalyne]

Because some coders are better than others?

 

[ohioDroid]

If Yahoo! mail works (without 10million messages in my Sent folder) and I have email signatures, then I won't have a need for k9mail anymore. I'm quite okay with that.

Doesn't sound like it comes with any special launcher, but everyone here seems to say that once 2.1 is running, the newer launcher APKs are fast and good anyway, so I guess that won't matter.

Live wallpapers, awesome!

hahahahahahah


but on a serious note, it said something about "now supporting free yahoo" I've had my email account working flawlessly on yahoo for several months now. so... cool! no telling what it will do if it works "better"

 

[bradford88]

am sure I am in the minority here, but I don't give a rats ass about rooting. I just want the most recent update I can get. I feel like I am a "normal" user, one that doesn't care about all the fancy crap that 'rooting' can add to my experience. I just want the latest and greatest that is supported by my carrier. so to that end, I say, bring it on! let's hear it for us "non-nerds"!!!

LOL, if your on a Cell phone forum.... Your a nerd. Sorry.

Touche....

I would guess that future ROM updates will be more stable as they can build off this official 2.1 release instead of the one from the N1. So victories on both side of the root/non-root folk?

Some people had to do some odd thing about changing their country in Yahoo to enable POP3 support. I use IMAP and it connects fine and all, but the built in Email app for whatever reason puts another copy of any mail I send from my phone during every synchronization.

So send one message, every 5 min it checks, in a day, it adds up to thousands quick. k9mail doesn't have that issue.

It's going to have to have something really special to make me want to pull Blackdroid off! REALLY SPECIAL ! ! !
