Android 2.1 Update Rolls Out For Motorola Droid!

[smokiedabong]

Just curious.
Has anyone installed this update and then successfully gone back to root? thx.

Yes , 3 times now . You have to flash your phone with RDSLite back to 2.0.1 so you can root . There isn't a root for 2.1 yet , they fixed the hole .


Please vote for some real problems to be fixed , like improving the software for low light camera , not those live wallpaper crap . Maybe then you will be more impressed with the next update

Love the update, just curious the Gallery looks very nice but it keeps on "Force Close". Does anybody have a clue?

So I assume there is no flash player with 2.1? Thats the only damn thing I wanted! Foiled again!!

let me clarify - maybe this file is their update, but I'll wait for it to come OTA so if it borks the phone I'm covered more assuredly.

Flash is adobe, not google... this was an OS system update... adobe is comeing second quarter... supposedly...

Why do people think 2.1 has anything to do with Flash? Adobe is the maker of Flash, which is a completely different company than Google.

Nope, flash was never going to be on this update.

still waiting for update for me

 

[MrKleen]

So... what is the general feeling? Is everyone happy?

 

[steveninspokane]

One question... Is this the same 2.1 that nexus has? because their 2.1 seems soo much better.

Overall I am happy. I loved the way the phone was before so anything I got in this update was a bonus.
