Android 2.1 successfully ported to Rooted Droid

Android 2.1 is now running on a rooted Droid! If you would like to have it on your Droid, make sure your phone is rooted and read this post for the instructions http://alldroid.org/viewtopic.php?f=210&t=815

*Note that some users have experience problems with keyboard backlight and GPS so run the update at your own risk*

Re: Android 2.1 successfully ported to Rooted Droid

Still has some bugs. GPS does not work correctly for all people. Landscape can be an issue. Keyboard backlight does not work. Other things still being reported.

Definitely a better try though.

Re: Android 2.1 successfully ported to Rooted Droid

Aside from the GPS not working and lack of keyboard backlighting, the 2.1 port appears to be much quicker than the 2.0.1 official software. I just don't think I'm ready to root my phone and download it since it is quite new.

Re: Android 2.1 successfully ported to Rooted Droid

I downloaded and ran it for a few, things just didn't quite seem ready for prime time. List scrolling was super jumpy, apps disappeared from the app store, GPS worked - but was off by a block or so. Oddly enough, my backlight worked just fine though.

Why donate to one person, when you can support the site that makes it all possible instead

Re: Android 2.1 successfully ported to Rooted Droid

Yeah, I just checked out the video and 2.1 seems awesome. I'm going to wait out for the official OTA update which will hopefully be available to us in January. The back lighting and GPS issues for the keyboard are definitely preventing me from giving it a try now because I use the physical qwerty and GPS pretty often.
