I love the way it works on my hero, I'm thinking that i'm missing something on the Droid

What I meant to say is that Droid support for it is in alpha testing. If anyone else has any ideas to get it working more reliably it would be greatly appreciated!

I suppose this whole thing is a little off-topic though...I'm going to create a new thread for it actually because I'd really like to get it working more consistently. It's really handy for classes where I don't have WiFi access and I need to download something quickly.

I ended up using the nandroid back up that was created with the appropriate kernal and drivers for wifi tether already installed, seems to be as reliable as my Sprint Hero, I get 2100kbps with the Hero and 520kbps with the Droid, I wish Verizon's data coverage was better here because I would get me a Droid, its an awesome device, you guys are lucky

I'd support a nomination for BW, but I think I might be to "opinionated" sometimes to be a mod lol.

I've downloaded the root app > renamed to update.zip > installed it > but still don't have super user permissions.

su: uid 10104 not allowed to su

I know it's not the 2.0.1 update file because during the installation of it, it does say something along the lines of 'your phone is now rooted' before rebooting.

Any Ideas?

EDIT:

Couple things: App called 'Terminal Emulator' in market doesn't work on Droid. 'Android Terminal Emulator' does (and it appears with just 'Terminal Emulator' in the app list.)

adb shell is working for me so the droid is rooted... just don't have su access from the device itself. clearing the cached didn't work either.

EDIT 2: I found an update.zip file that gave me superuser permissions here: http://www.4shared.com/file/16976650...er_update.html

I'm good to go now.
