Dumb question...Will the fact that I manually updated to 2.0.1 have any effect on me getting 2.1 this week? I'm not rooted, and I seem to remember claims that this was the official update, just leaked early, but is there a chance I could have a problem? I'm guessing no, but just wanna be ready for the new update, even if it doesn't have everything we wanted from the nexus version...
Is it a good idea/safe to uninstall this, and can I do so using astro, or will I need to do he whole physical keyboard thing again...?
Since you updated using "update.zip" and that is actually the OS your fine.
Only those that have rooted with a Hacked Rom will have issues as the OTA is blocked by default on those because the OTA file gets overwritten.
I"m still learning.. but thats what I gather..... until you root and then install a rooted ROM your ok.
Other apps you installed shouldn't matter I don't think.. even if they are 2.1 apps ported for 2.0.1.
