Droid 2.1 question?!

[Roy Aguilera]

That news makes me happy. I use home alternatives anyways and font need live wallpapers. I could now dump Dolphin and all the 2.1 ported apps.

I'm not happy about it but I don't feel like I need a new phone because of this. I'm sure live wallpapers would destroy the battery, the app drawer looks fine to me. The one thing that would be really nice is extra home screens as basically any app that adds more seems really buggy in my experiences.

The widgets are fine, I'd like some new ones.

I'm only really annoyed about goggles. I downloaded and installed it when I first got my phone and it is so useless and slow. Its easier just to google search it yourself or you can use audio search. It takes forever to scan after taking the picture. Waste of space on my screen.

I thought the live wallpapers would use more battery as well but during a full charge they've only been using 2% of my battery. Not bad at all.

The custom 2.0.1 home with 5 screens works flawlessly.

Oh and with 2.1 runing on the droid porting the wallpapers would be extremely easy.

I'm sure there is a reason they don't do it. May be perhaps that it would bring more negative to the Droid than positive. I'd be curious to see.

I'm sure quite a few Moto Droid owners will be pretty upset over this latest news.

So you really see an enormous difference between 2.0 and 2.1? I'm just not seeing it. What I really want is Flash!

No but the things they are leaving out are sure to be things that others may want 2.1 for. That's all I meant.

Flash would be nice, no problem with the live paper no real need for the anyways. The thing I would like to see is a new app drawer and it doesn't have to be like the Nexus but something a little more flashy and NEW.

i heard that the nexus received a hefty upgrade to the voice search and/or voice to text capabilities...now i can't seem to remember where i heard this so it may have just been nothing. so is this accurate and would that get bundled up in the 2.1 for the droid?

If what you're quoting is true, they aren't giving me anything I don't already have, so it's nothing to get excited about. Except for more home screens, which is something I do want but can live without.

But if you read the post, you AREN'T getting more home screens.

They might as well call this 2.02 because they have just created pretty much the same rom that I've been using for a while I guess the 3d app drawer will never be fixed

I'd imagine it would, if they left a critical part of the OS out like that, Droid owners would revolt.

I personally want the live wallpaper I mean, the droid is function before beauty, but I'd love to have pretty flashing lights dazzle me every time I turn on my phone.

And flash is coming soon! I've seen some of adobes videos on it, and the droid runs it flawlessly

Well I think there are more things that 2.1 for us may address issues wise. Yes 2.1 seems like a bit cosmetic overhaul, but I am sure there are more things inside like; Bluetooth stability, a better exchange experience, a more fluid and seamless connection between our accounts on the phone and our accounts on the internet.

Yeah, I personally think Google should make more things optional, we got the nifty market, why not put all the crap in there, and let us pick and choose? I would be WAYYY better off without Google Talk/chat. I can never turn it off, I always have to force it to shut down, and I NEVER use it!

People getting upset over a rumored update, thats not even known to be the final build?

Makes for great reading

Clearly I haven't been caffeinated yet today

 

[Roy Aguilera]

After the update you can still have 5 home screens and the live wallpapers.

This is true ha-ha

 

[Roy Aguilera]

Anything can be done with root. I will wait to see if you can still root before updating. If not I will wait for 2.1 with root to become available.

Not really just want something more than what devs have already done with 2.01

After using Bugless Beauty not sure I even care about an update it has everything except flash.
