Android 2.1 ported over to Droid?!

Risky.. but couldnt you simply boot into safe mode or whatever it is.. holding X.. and put an older image on the phone if it messes up?

 

I woudl LOVE to install this, but I need some other test dummy's first. I really need my phone.

 

So whats 2.1 got that makes it better then 2.0.1?

 

Another number in the tenths spot

 

I hope we get some cool stuff that's stock on the phone, but its open source so we can get all that eventually. But at Sholes they have an image for 2.1 for droid, but no proof of it running.

 

I downloaded the 2.1 image from Sholes..

Now all I need is a how-to on ripping an image of my current OS as it is(Custom recovery image), and I'll be willing to give 2.1 a shot

 

All I want out of 2.1 is the five homescreens. I can't waaaaitttt.

 

That's pretty easy to do with Home++, a free app on the market that allows 3-7 screens, and is much faster than the stock.

What I want from 2.1 is the "Web-OS" card view of all my screens, as well as animated backgrounds. This is a good first step, hopefully within a few days they'll have a more stable version.

 

It won't be long before a nice stable version comes out woop woop!!!

 

Too many problems with it at the moment. I got the dump last night and poked around. Was hoping the camera app would work on the droid, it doesn't....

 

Considering this particular 2.1 image is customized for a completely different device, that's not a surprise. It would be like cloning a C: drive from one brand of PC, and trying to get the image to run on another brand...the OS would run, but the drivers would be all screwed up..

Now if someone has the knowledge to make a hybrid of the 2.1 system files, and the current droid files.. that may work.

 

I will probably do this once it's stable.

I speculate the OTA in January (if it happens) for the Droid will be OS 2.1

 

I realize it's early, but does anyone know if animated wall paper can be 'live'?

I'm thinking of a live animated radar based on your location as a wallpaper.

That would be awesomeness.

 

I'd just like a weather radar layer on gmaps!

 

Droid Gets An Unofficial Android 2.1 Build - Droid 2.1 - Gizmodo

Looks like someone has already ported the Google Phones 2.1 build to the Droid. While I am not adventurous enough - or even have the knowhow - to install this update, it is good to know that it is potentially around the corner.

If anyone is willing to try and update to 2.1, let the rest of us know how it is.

 

Is that the same (unfinished) version that someone posted earlier? I'm willing to try it if it's a completely working version of 2.1.

I really need to buy a dummy Droid to screw around with.

 

Can we please do searches before posting the same exact information about the same exact thing? It prevents moderators from having to combine threads that clutter up the forum.

 

Same 2.1 as mentioned before. Unless someone turns it into a hybrid with the Droid's device files(if possible), it is useless to anyone who wants a fully operational Droid.

 

Sorry about that. I used the built in search when creating the thread... I saw nothing on this subject.

 

Well, I've merged the new thread with the old one. Let's continue the discussion here.
