Android 2.1 Update Rolls Out For Motorola Droid!

Maybe this is all a conspiracy by VZW to get all the rooted users back to unroot status? I remember when talk of 2.1 was going around in December of last year.
 
I have a question. It we have an update.zip file hanging around in the root directory of our sdcard for some reason, even if we are running unrooted 2.0.1, will the existence of that file keep us from getting the OTA update?
 
@birdroid

This has been covered extensively in this thread and the previous 2.1 thread about rooting questions.

They are not allowed in 2.1 threads.

We have a hacks section for all your rooting questions.

Thank you for understanding.
 
Good grief, this sounds exactly like the last official verizon email that got all of our hopes up.

I guess time will tell.

I called my local Verizon Stores.

Hillside, LaGrange Willowbrook, Hodgkins, Downers Grove, Chicago Ridge, and Bolingbrook

Hillside said it is rolling out today the rep quoted an email he received.

LaGrange said it is rolling out today

Willowbrook said "no" not today.

Downers Grove said: He didn't know, last he heard it was "right around the corner", his store has not received confirmation of any kind.

Chicago Ridge is confirming that it is rolling out today. She just read an update to me over the phone.

Bolingbrook is confirming that it is rolling out today.

So, there you have it. Take it for what it's worth. I called the above stores, and that is the information I was given.

I guess it is really rolling out...

.

So far, I have called 10 stores in my area. Above, in the list you will see the only two "no" answers I have got. I have called 4 more since then. The reps I have spoken to have all read to me from the official release document they received.

If it's a hoax, it's a damned clever one. I know most of the time, reps don't always know what is going on, but this is the first time I have seen this kind of consistency, any other time, I probably would have gotten 10 different answers.

Could it be a hoax, yes, it could. We have a discrepancy in emails, we have April Fool's Day approaching, and silence from VZW and Motorola. In the Information Age, creating, and passing on mis, or dis-information is not has hard as it would sound. Could someone have hacked into Verizon's network and fabricated this? Of course, if some hackers can steal trade secrets, millions of credit card numbers, or what have you, then creating a fraudulent internal document would be child's play for some of them. I wouldn't know how they would do it, I just know it can be done.

Is it real? Is it a hack job? Who knows... we'll find out in a few days.

Just remember, 10 stores, 8 confirmed the rollout via reading from internal documentation....
 
Guy confirmed that there is definitely only 3 SCREENS. Not good VZW.

I just don't get it. It seems so simple. I guess I'm going to have to use a third-party home replacement and just live with all the FC's and slowness.

Helix Launcher is NOT slow nor does it Force Close and its for NONROOTED droids

Oh, thanks, I guess those Force Closes and slowdowns on my non-rooted Droid from Helix Launcher were just a hallucination. I'm glad to know that you know everything.

Just because your phone doesn't have slowdowns and FCs doesn't mean that the app never does that on anyone's phone.
 
GarciaFan.....I do have questions

1. Any lag/slow performance in texts fields?

2.How do the live walls run?

3.How does Pinch to Zoom in native browser run?

4.How would you rate the overall performance? 10 being excellent.

5.Why did you give it the above rating?

+1 Using it stock/unrooted and it works great. I am at 5 screens, but it goes up to 7. Also allows you to dock up to 4 icons at the bottom of the screen which will appear on all screens. Great launcher!
