2.1 ESE53 will be Official Release on the VZW Motorola Droid

[HMJB]

No point, all the rom devs will move on to the official 2.1 code.

For your situation though you might be stuck with it until someone cracks 2.1 aka finds Root

Ok, here's my question: I just flashed ese53 the leaked version, onto my phone like 2 days ago. Is this OTA the same exact one? And I'm also wondering, if it is, should I flash 2.0.1 back to get the official update?

I'm wondering the same thing. May flash back to 2.0 just in case.

Did you use RSD Lite

I read the PDF, I read this thread, so is 3/18 some kind of insider information? I didn't see a source for that date. Pardon me if I missed something.

Here's your source for 3-18.

Motorola Droid's Android 2.1 update to be rolled out OTA starting Thursday | Android Central

Thanks. I guess I missed the memo.

That link seems to show a photograph of someone's screen. I'd like to read that whole list of "Symptoms Resolved". It looks more detailed than the PDF.

If we don't get 5 screens what's the best non crashing app to get it?

the Helix Launcher is great. You can select the number of screens from 3 to 7. It is only for 2.1

Actually, there is a version of HelixLauncher for 2.0.1 - works great!

+1 it works really good. no fcs since install.

Yes. I tried SEVERAL custom ROM's and always found something that just seemed to not function right.

I was hoping for BT hands free voice dial... Flash can come later.

I have Google Gesture on now and that is the best I've found for search and dial... I drive a van for business and there is usually a lot of background noise so voice search on the phone usually makes mistakes unless I am stopped.

 

[darkjester73]

also glad for the yahoo mail. Which is one I use the most

Google Earth?

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?

Just uninstalled my 2.1 APKs waiting for the update

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

will this fix the yahoo email problem. i can get it to work on my phone but it doesnt notify of new emails sent. The notifications is on and eveything will it fix the problem with yahoo and everything

By the way folks, this is available now, if you want to flash the sbf.

Its not rooted from the phone end, but thats easily resolved if wanted.

Also, it contains a radio update. Custom ROMs wont give you that. Only the OTA update, or the sbf will.
