Android 2.1 ported to Droid

methinks I'll wait patiently for this one instead of forcing it

Im with you on that one

Yes, I reckon that would be the best thing for you to do, Chief.

Well, Teddy, I guess you've rooted your Droid and will install 2.1 right away? Do we know if it's even a finished product?

Yeah, I've rooted my Droid and stuff, and am a 'modder', but I'm not the first one out of the gate. I will, however read my butt off until I find enough people having success with a certain mod and then do it that way. And as of last night, there were a few success stories with 2.1, but most were still having hiccups, so I too am waiting. I do have everything in place to install the custom recovery image though, which is half the work and will probably do that tonite.

Sorry if I seemed antagonistic in my previous post.

The thing is, as I mentioned at another site, is when will we get full on BT dialing? Will it be this next update and/or from Google? Or will it have to be from a custom built kernel/ROM? If it's the latter, I want to be in line and up to speed on how to do it.

p.s. I do have the hybrid stock and 2.1 boot animation on my phone . . .

Has anyone here installed this themselves looking for a bit of help.

Does anyone know when/if Android 2.1 will come to the droid?

Think its supposed to be the jan update everyone is talking about. Found some simple instructions and im all setup on 2.1

One question I have (which probably cannot be answered right now), does anyone know if it will include multi-touch?

According to the reports, YES. Dolphin Browser already has multitouch.

The video I've seen demonstrates that multi-touch is supported but still not used. Dolphin Browser does multi-touch, but the Droid 2.1 environment does not.

UGH! That would be so useful for viewing photos. Also, they didn't mention anything (from what I've read) about a better music player or video/movie viewer built in. These things are the only things holding it back from being the proverbial iPhone killer BTW, still luving my phone! Every time I mess with settings, it gets even more awesome!

Here's a cool little trick JW: open voice dialer and say "Open Battery Info". You'll get a cool little page with battery life, temperature, voltage, etc. It's the ONLY way to get to this page. NEAT!

Thanks Chief! I'll check it out in a few.

Ok, now that is FUNNY!

Nope, but there is a milestone/droid hybrid ROM in Alpha stage that does. Too buggy right now for me.



I saw those instructions as well, but I'm going to wait for it to come out as an update file like the last one so I don't have to go through setting up all my apps/contacts/etc. again. Plus, their still working on some of the bugs in that one as well.

Only bug i have is the light on the keyboard. I also used mybackuppro to restore apps data and stuff.

Live Gallery is just like the stock gallery, but supports multi-touch and swipes to the next pic like the Dare.
