Root .595 Leaks (There is now no path to the OTA from GB)

To get the weather above the clock just go into appearance settings and change the widget style to "digital Clock (classic)".

instead of calling it .591 they called it .595 :p

I know you were joking, but to clarify for the asker, this is NOT the case. I guarantee that they did not hose their entire internal version tracking system just to increment a number.

Unfortunately, we also don't get a change log between versions so the only differences that anyone will be able to talk about, are the ones that are simply discovered along the way.

How has this not been fixed?! Wow. It's a major bug. Many people would rather get 8MP and not use widescreen, so the widescreen default isn't what many want. Such a simple bug, yet, a big issue for many. Very annoyed they didn't get to fixing this.


How do we know the resolution of the widescreen setting? In the dropdown it doesnt specify.

I guess I'm reluctant to upgrade from .591 because I'm a bit confused about which direction I want to take. Do I want to d/l the build that I can do the OTA over? If I do, will it root with Gingerbreak? If it doesn't will sbf bring me back to have the ability to get root again?

I guess it's good to have choices.

I'm just thinking out loud. It's funny. I make fun of my wife for doing that. ;)

Now what are the chances of the gingerbreak working on the OTA? Far be it for me to complain but what would be the point of getting the OTA prepared release and finding out it can't be deodexed and rooted, then you have to sbf back AGAIN....lol.....and flash the fully rooted and deodexed version.

Dilemma, dilemma. What to do?

just noticed that 1% batt with the new build now thats cool

Are you sure about that? In the status bar without any addon apps like battmonx, etc.?

This is what I'm most worried about.

We're all assuming that it will be possible to SBF back to 2.2.1 from the OTA. I hope that will be the case but with 2.2 and 2.2.1 it was not. If we can't SBF back I'll probably stick with the leak until everything is figured out with the OTA.

I guess I prefer to live dangerously. Maybe I'll upgrade and put my trust in p3... Cough. ;)

Just a heads up for people...DO NOT try using the Droid 2 Bootstrap to make a backup once you've upgraded to .595, you will boot loop. I'm not sure about the Droid X bootstrap.


I have created a backup with d2 bootstrapper no problem. Haven't tried to restore one. Not sure if that'll bootloop. Did you bootloop creating a backup?

I personally haven't done it but people on other forums are boot looping when they try using the Droid 2 bootstrap after updating. You made a backup after installing .595?
