Root Bugless Beast (Android 2.1) is out now!

HMMMMMMMMMMM

Anyone wanna run over the differences between BB 2.0.1 and BB 2.1? So far, all I see is:
- Desk Clock finally works in Fahrenheit
- Live Wallpapers
- Contacts App
- Apps removable via Manage Applications
- No smoked glass


I'm still reinstalling apps but so far it seems significantly faster than 2.0.1 both booting up and switching between applications. Haven't had too much time to play yet though.

Installed it, played w/it, already nandroiding back to 8.7 w/t3hSteve's updated kernel.

There's no autobrightness setting in 2.1! Just not there, according to Pete. Huh? That was my "game-over" moment, aside from the other issues noted above.

2.1 just has very little allure in it's current form - nowhere near as smooth or reliable as 2.01 + 2.1 apps IMHO.

I think now I'm finally really going sit on my hands for a while and wait until the Droid 2.1 update comes out, and see what the devs do with that...

"Bug" I notice if you slide the keyboard open when the screen is off it turns on and has no lockscreen it is just the homescreen.





Unfortunately that's a bug with every 2.1 ROM

Can't wait till we get the real update, I'll build off that.

Guess I'll look at the BB 2.1 when OTA 2.1 hits.
