Pete just got the OFFICIAL 2.1 Dump!!

[crankerchick]

seriously, flash is adobe and it's in no way linked with 2.1 aside from adobe saying flash will work on devices running 2.1 and higher.

i'm rooted but haven't done any custom rom's yet, just haven't had the time. is this worth going after now or just wait a bit longer?

 

[BigRedGonzo]

Unfortunately, SholesMod doesn't exist anymore. The team had some falling out about money and split up. As I read it, all but one of them have regrouped and are trying to get back up and running as DroidMod. They claim that they will be back up and running in a few days. If you'll search the Market you'll find that SM Updater is no longer there, they said that it will be "updated" to a new name and should update existing installs when it hits. So now instead of the next incarnation of the SholesMod series, we will be looking for DroidMod 1.0.0??

I know this is a bit off-topic, but I noticed a lot of folks anticipating a new SholesMod. There is a description of what happened on Droid Forum and the new group already has a new website up and running droidmod.org.

This was just FYI.

Nothing special about this 2.1, it has the same look of 2.0 there's no point of getting it now

So, ... hypothetically speaking, if 2.1 looks the same as 2.0.1 but performance is incredible, would you still think there's no point of getting it?

 

[gonzoguy24]

If better kernel and faster experience I will get this BUT I would say just wait until it gets incorporated into a cooked ROM

 

[CRPercodani]

Just so everyone knows Pete told me he is going to be working hard on getting a ROM out ASAP.

YouTube - Official Droid OTA Update Android 2.1


Looks real snappy, and Pete says it's running at stock 550MHz.

Can't wait till there's a Beast version of this at 1.2

no, i'm rooted and overclocked to 1.2 right now, I have live wallpaper, 5 homescreeen without luncher, phone is working really good, until I'm able to keep what I have now why would I change? Go back to 3 homescreen? Loose live wallpaper (even if I don't use I know in case I want to use it, I have it) Unless I see a good benefit I wont, at least not right now

All these features will be built into a ROM based on this 2.1 from Pete...Chill bro you won't lose anyhting

Thanks CRP! I cannot wait

 

[Darkwarrior006]

Now since pete has the ROM, this raises questions on why hasnt moto released it yet if its good to go?

Looks as fast as my phone running at 1200 MHz, and it's not o/c'd....

Interesting.

LOL, I posted this before I read Joe and Fabulous' quotes saying the same..

Of course, he does have zero apps loaded..

 

[Kirch21]

It's a dump of /system

It's not installable yet.

I, for one, am not interested in these files in their stock form. However, when they find themselves in the Beast or in SholesMod, well, then they'll truly be put to good use.

Well said

There is...I linked above. Didnt work the best for me

Edit - I was dyslexic. I read 1.2 clock speed as 2.1 OS, lol

It's already here:
AllDroid - View topic - [ROM] Bugless Beast (Android 2.1)

I tried it, a little buggy and no bluetooth. Went back to BB7.6@1200

Hmm...Maybe I am a bit confused. I could have sworn that the BB 2.1 release was based off of a Nexus One image of 2.1. I thought he said in the thread that there currently was no rom for the 2.1 Droid dump he has. Can someone clear this up for me?

I think your correct. That is not based off the dump he just got

 

[radikal]

yeah, i am sticking with 2.0.1 for quite a while. not until something good comes out that really wows me will i switch. and when we get flash, pete will put it in a beast.

According to Matt (the moderator over at the Moto Droid forum), the version of 2.1 that is running on Pete's video is not the offical Moto 2.1:

I have posted on a couple of threads that the video from Pete is not the real deal -- that's a fact. He's just stirring the pot. I am reasonably certain that no one has the Motorola update for the Droid outside of the company. (Of course, Boy Genius seems to know everything so I guess you can never be sure...)

I think the video IS the real deal. You are full of it.

Wow, so sensitive. I never said it wasn't the real thing. I just passed along some information from a guy who works at Motorola because I thought it was interesting. You can choose to believe it or not. It won't hurt my feelings if you don't.

No ones feelings were hurt but Pete is the man. He has probly put more hours into developing than motorola. Well let's hope not...

Anyways. The reason i think Matt said that is because Moto is changing the Droid's 2.1 from what the original release was supposed to be (the one Pete got his hands on)

What is all the HUB BUBB about!? lol This little 2.1 leak is not much to speak of until it gets into one big pile of DROIDNESS
