Android 2.1 Update Rolls Out For Motorola Droid!

[Grabraham]

Sounds like 3 screens still, I hope there is an option for 5. With all the new google widgets taking up a lot of screen space, it seems like 5 would be required for 2.1 and beyond.

ya, no mention of head phone fix, live wallpapers, security fix........Hope that it's not scaled down too badly.....

Those are all listed in the verizon PDF. Was the 5 screen ever? (not being snarky I don't remember)

I don't know what you guys do with all that screen. I barely use 1 1/2 screens.

My Pure Calendar widget is 1 full screen and beautiful home takes up another half. There's 1 1/2 screens gone already.

Just spoke to Lauren at my local VZW Store

Fun fact: Anyone on this forum knows more than your local VZW Store rep. Seriously. They find out their info from engadget/BGR/forums just like us.

I hate to sound nasty but any of these tools who have posted the pics could've saved the update.zip first.

If you get the triangle notification, then the zip is already on your Droid.

Decline, do it later.

Mount, and copy update.zip from SD card root to your PC.

Unmount and reboot Droid (simple wasn't it?)

Tools in my book.....

If one were able to do this, where could the file be uploaded to? I'd imagine it is fairly good sized...

We also got a screenie from VZW showing the update coming today...

Not our fault that you have no one to call or have a need to check the time or anything.

I use voice commands for calls. I have Beautiful Widgets. 6 icons.

I'm just economical about my home screen.

no worries, just wondering with a different ESE no# ...will it still include those features previously stated? or is it a completely stripped down version?

Back to stock here. Ready for 2.1

Hope its the real deal this time. Can't wait for Blackdroid to get ahold of the zip and then rollout his version of ESE81 Ultimate Droid ROM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Android 2.1 Update?

Ok so the rumors are flying and the update is coming. doesnt suprise me since i got impatient and rooted my phone friday. so i have a few questions hopefully someone smarter than me can answer: (running smoked glass)

1. why cant i d/l the update for google maps or uninstall the app?
2. if the update comes, and im going to be prompted every 30 minutes about it, will it screw with my rooted phone/ will i need to unroot the phone?
3. if i need to unroot the phone, how do i?
4. will flash player be included with the update? i see no mention of additional screens which is a big reason i rooted (in addition to the overclocking) so those two features are big to me
5. will i still be able to overclock the processor if i do revert back to stock and do the update? im guessing no. and since i have my custom colors and fonts and processor speeds and screens and live wallpapers, should i even bother doing the update?
6. can i ignore the update?
7. im very impatient; i dont feel like waiting for a new rom to be put up for ese81, and im not smart enough to create my own, but if i am forced to wait, anyone have an eta that a new rom (comparable to the ballin-ness of smoked glass) might be up?
8. how great can this update be since i have almost all the new features included already?
9. why doesnt google goggles work well? in fact, why does it suck so hard?
10. clearly im worried i spent all this time over the weekend rooting and tweaking my phone to the smallest detail and really dont want to lose anything but just get the extra updates that the 2.1 update will bring (enhanced sound, possible flash player, for my phone to say firmware version ese81...even though i dont know what that means, and well i guess thats all)without losing anything from smoked glass etc, am i a retart for thinking ill be able to get my cake and eat it too?

btw this thing is pretty sweet: :icon_ banana:

you need to ask these questions to the person's ROM you are using....

I used to be the same. But, then I had all my most-used apps on the front screen, then had folders with games/information/web/etc on one of the other screens. After Google released the Buzz widget and Latitude widgets, I thought I would use the final screen for widget use....

Now, 9 screens? No clue what to do with all that!

i'm surprised, no one here received the update?

please share!!!
