what up peeps? I've been busy and haven't been able to keep up with all of the rumors and gossip and guesses.... so, where are we with 2.1? Is the general opinion still 3/31?
 
damn thats sweet looking. ok, so im running droidmod 1.0. can i still get this? and how?

That's blackdroids rom.... Its a ripped copy off of Petes Bugless Beast ESE53.. all he did was customize a theme for it and it seems to crash more than Petes(which doesn't crash at all..)
 
I'm just thinking about that video showing the latest build for droids 2.1. Now since the new launcher is apparently not being released and we might get just the app drawer, do you think the live wallpapers will lose there interactivity?I mean we will probably get live wallpapers but I'm hoping they are still interactive.

What do you guys think?

They are interactive with the (current) stock 3 screen drawer that they will release. ;)

Yup. That is what it is.
 
Hey DA6.....bjab here. I'm new to this site so maybe you can tell me. I see there's a ton of discussion here about the 2.1 update, comming sometime, for the Motorola Droid. Can you fill me in and tell me what you know about it and when you've heard it will be released ? If you could fill me in..then maybe I wont have to read 99 pages here, to get caught up. Thanks !

I don't think anyone knows the exact date yet. Moto and VZW have kept it pretty quiet lately.
What we do know is that the latest ESE53 candidate has leaked and been root already. If you get this within the next few weeks, you will get
Multi Touch Browser
Multi Touch Gallery
3 Home screens like you have now, but they interact with the
Live Wallpapers (A special Droid version of the Nexus is included)
An updated Music app
New Dock app
New Alarm app
Preinstalled Goggles and Earth (new Google apps)
That pretty much sums it up.
Its quite fast and smooth.
 
Pretty sure the reason they're holding off is either: 1. Skype integration, 2. root vulnerabilities, or 3. some enormous bug. So lame that it's probably going to take 'til the end of the month, if not later.
 
We should all practice how fast we can bang out multiple unique complaint e-mails to verizon and motorola for when 3/31 arrives and passes by with no update. I'm thinking we should have a minimal submission rate of 30/day.

In general i'm only looking forward to getting Custom ROMs based off of the official 2.1 update. (keep 2.1s speed and features, and cut the fat like skype mobile and amazon mp3, add in a little 2.1 sense UI) then we'll have a sepreme Droid!
 
Maybe we'll be surprised with that new "Espresso" build of the Sense UI! With the Incredible coming to VZW soon, I'm not sure I'll keep my Droid very long... :p

... So just because 2.1 didn't come out in Q1 you are going to act like a child and throw a temper tantrum to big red...

Good idea. :rolleyes:

Oh, just WAIT. There's gonna be a b?tchstorm when everyone realizes they're not getting 2.1 in Q1. Oh man, Verizon and Motorola are gonna be in trouble. lol

Its really funny... People are saying that some are going to leave VZW and Moto because of this... Those people are what... 1% of Verizons total customer base? Oh no 1% of their profit gone its the end of Verizon :rolleyes:. Most of the people that own a phone on Verizon let alone a Droid have no clue about this update.

I honestly think there's been enough publicity to a point where 30% of Droid owners, if not more, know about the 2.1 update. Probably more than 1% of Verizon's consumer base. I'm not saying people are going to leave VZW because of a 2.1 delay (stupid idea anyways), I'm just noting that people will complain. No company wants that. That'll be true especially when sites report that it's still not out and people who don't know what it is already go and look it up. Just a thought.
 
What's starting to bug me is how slowly Moto is going on this. Should not have taken this long.
