What firmware are you guys all running?

Do active wallpapers work on JD4?
You can find out about your firmware detailsYAY! Kies worked, had to reboot after installing it, but it worked.
What firmware are you guys all running?
No. not using odin. Once you bite the bullet... erm some metaphors that suit that I can't think of right now.also - is there a way to use odin to backup current firmware? I have a rogers i5700 and I would like to be able to restore my 1.5 firmware in case there are any problems.
Thank You
I'm considering doing this. Not only am I twiddling my thumbs waiting for the official update on my Spica via Rogers, but I'm assuming the same sort of wait when 2.2 is out too.
It sounded scary until I saw all these other Canadians updating their phones too. I've been concerned about getting a version that won't work on Rogers' network. I'm assuming 3G, etc. is all working correctly for you guys?
Another question: Will this remove my access to paid apps on the Android Market? I've bought a few so far and would like to continue to be able to buy more. Can any of you confirm that you can see paid apps on the market? And if not, is there a suitable workaround for the Spica (does that Market Enabler app work)?
@e4: I can't help you about the Exchange Server stuff because I don't have any email accounts that work off that. Closest I come to that is my College address but it runs off IMAP rather than anything else. I had to use Yahoo's credentials to send OUT mail too.
@Rogdor: All the paid apps that I had were available to redownload. The information about what you have paid and haven't it kept with Google rather than on the phone. Which is why you have to log into your gmail account. 3g works wonderfully and the whole phone seems much faster. I also seem to have a bit more "free memory" on 2.1 than I had on 1.5. The APN settings are also online (just google "Rogers APN" and they'll come up) which is where I found them (since I didn't write those down). For some reason when I went to "restore" APN settings through the app in the market it didn't work.
I used Beerkan's firmware version and then further modified it with Leshak's Samdroid version. I have root access now (apparently just installing JD1 only gets you a new version of Android but doesn't give you actual root access) with it now and live wallpapers work. My complaints from the previous post I made (dockbar and "uncentered" widgets) are completely gone with Leshak's Samdroid version.
Apparently the Samdroid version has a ton of APN listings but I haven't a clue where to find them. I ended up adding them manually.
I don't think I got the Apps2sd working either but I can live without that.
Voice search works though I'm not too sure about its accuracy. I went to google something, decided to try out the voice search and got a google search for something else. Just tried texting "Sorry" and it came up as "Screen" on my Spica. Maybe I'm just speaking wrong? I'll have to play around with that a little more.
So... how do you get live wallpapers...
flashing this firmware [Mod] SamdroidMod v 1.0.3 - LK2.03.3 + Root + more... [05/06/2010] [EN]
@Zephyr: That is the one that I flashed on mine. Though somewhere on there it said you needed his LKmod 2.something so you need to do that one first. Basically I did all your guide (with Beerkan's firmware). Then I did the LKmod 2.whatever guide. Then I did THAT guide you just linked to.
I couldn't get Apps2SD working (I don't know why but I don't really care all that much). I think it had something to do with me being unable to actually format or have my SD card read by my PC (and so couldn't partition it).
