Android 2.1 Update Rolls Out For Motorola Droid!

I apologize if this info is buried in the thread, but I couldn't find it--does anyone that's actually updated know whether the talked-about change permitting apps to be saved to the SD card was implemented? Or do I need to wait to hear about rooting 2.1?

I don't think it's been done yet, either by OTA or root.
 
Yes, I'm happy. I was happy with 2.0.1. As far as Flash goes, it's still coming. People are just so impatient.:)

Since everyone seems to forgot, here is what comes with 2.1:

It isn't impatience. People replace their phones every year or two... most of us more frquently. The phone was advertised to have Flash support and a promise of end of Q1 was given for it. Today is the last day of Q1, and it's not here. I don't want to wait until Im ready for a new phone to get Flash support for the Droid. It's really not all that complex of an issue. I don't like it when promises aren't kept. Espeically when my money is involved.

Lack of 3 home screens bugs the piss out of me, but it's not anything they've ever promised. Live wallpapers are also not an issue for me, so I'd have rather they worked on the former than the latter. Rotating desktop as well. The other aspects of this update are great. I think I'm going to wait for a DroidMod release of it though.

Promised in first quarter? I remember promised in first half. Now I could very well be wrong about that, so shoot me a link showing first quarter and I'll buy that.

I'm gonna have to agree with you on this Hookbill, I have never seen information on the release of flash for Q1, only Q2.

It's been done, but only works with Cyanogen's ROM.

Just so we don't head off in the wrong direction, remember we want to at least limit talk about rooting. I understand it's going to come up from time to time but let's stay focused on the update and 2.1
 
Hey guys, I successfully updated to Android 2.1 on my Motorola Droid but did anyone notice that it's a bit laggier when using live wallpapers on it? When I use non-live wallpapers, it doesn't lag, but if I do, there is a noticeable lag.

Anyone?

Thanks.
 
Flash was never promised by anyone - just Adobe. And it won't be out until mid year as they have said over and over and over again. It's not under Verizon or Moto's control.

Please please please stop whining about the lack of Flash.

As far as the three screens yeah it's a tad disappointing but I like Helix more anyway with the dock on the bottom - it runs fast. I may have decided to use Helix even if there were 5 screens.

My questions are what does your phone look like in the docking station mode now, and when it's in the docking station are you getting k-1 mail alerts?

I installed the new docking station APK before 2.1 and it's exactly the same except the weather is now correct.
 
I am running 5 screens on Helix and running live wallpapers with NO lag.

Keep in mind if you run a program like Helix to make sure the widgets on your original home screen have been deleted or they will run also slowing you down.

Yes, I've noticed it with some live wallpapers not all of them though.
