Droid2 official gb release 8/31 11:59pm

So does this not work for the D2 Global? My sister has that phone and is waiting for the update, it's currently saying that her phone is up-to-date. If it's considered different, any idea when the Global gets the update? Thanks in advance.
 
Rooted, restored all bloatware except for the LiveWallpapers.apk and LiveWallpaperPicker.apk. Can't get those back in my wallpaper options despite having them placed back into the system/app folder.

Trying to run the OTA and fails, and I suspect it's because I took out the live wallpapers and can't put them back in. Guess I'll have to run a contacts/SMS backup, look up how to SBF (never done it before so it'll be interesting), and then try again.

I still have the Droid 3 root one-click thanks to my friends who just bought Droid 3s (the bums), so I'll be running that after I can get this update.


One question I do have is if this resolves an issue I kept running into with Twitter names overriding local contact names, as well as some Twitter integration problems I've been having. Any idea?
 
Will the offical GB be available for R2D2?

I just tried pulling from Verizion and got the "Your device is up to date" Is this going to be available for the R2D2 phones? I've been quite patient and I would finally like to have 2.3 on my phone... Without having to root it first of course.
 
Has anyone noticed this little bug when using the multi-touch keyboard?

If you hold the period key to bring up the pop up menu (for a ? or , ect), you basically have to drag your finger to the VERY bottom of the phone for it to think you are trying to access the bottom row. If you try to move you finger actually above the key, it always stays on the top row. Anyway to fix that?

Yes, same problem happens with me. It appears it does not work yet with this OTA update. I started from a stock SBF, then updated to Gingerbread, by the way.

i read on droidlife that if you have rooted your phone or removed any of the verizon bloatware it wont allow you to receive the gingerbread ota update, i just unrooted my phone and sbf'd it and the minute it rebooted the update was available

This is not true. It will allow you to receive it, but you can't install it properly. The install failed until I flashed back to bone STOCK Froyo, and then installed the Gingerbread update.
 
Nothing amazing about this imo. Im going back to cyanogenmod. Much faster and better than this. This OTA GB is better than stock froyo for those non-rooting owners.
