redo all previous steps then b/c the app only force closes on nonrooted phones
your contacts are linked to google and/or your corporate account so it's impossible to lose your contacts and your apps will uninstall but they will all be under your download list in the market waiting to be redownloaded
it should be towards the bottom of the list under unknown

I just discovered a "Voice Input" check box under Settings > Language & Keyboard > Android Keyboard > Voice Input
When you check the box it places a little microphone icon on the virtual keyboard when it comes up right next to the space bar.
You can press it and just speak. When you stop speaking it analyzes what you said and transcribes it into text!
It's quite amazing. You have to talk a bit slower and speak clearly so it is accurate, but it's a great free addition to Android 2.1 .
Update:
Unfortunately voice input for the Voice to Text feature does not work with Bluetooth headset. This is quite a shame because in a noise environment like a car on the freeway, it would really help to have the mic at my face.

So where is the active thread for reporting bugs? Doesn't seem like anyone is posting bugs here.
you can unroot by restoring the original nandroid back and yes rooting will disable OTA updates
people have already reported bugs in this thread if you read carefully, people mention keyboard lighting, live wallpapers slowing down the phone and a few other things
no need to get sensitive, google's the only one that knows when flan is being sent to the droid

Dude...get over yourself. I was the one that posted half of those. But it didn't and still doesn't seem like there are very many people giving feedback so I wondered if maybe there was another thread for bugs. Why the hell are people such pompous and rude aholes on these forums?
get over myself? no need to get sensitive, i'm focusing on what's being said rather than by who so since you're the main one that reports anything, i appreciate it, im not a dev so i'm not directly working on any of this, i just took everything i've learned since the root exploit for the droid was revealed and try putting everything in layman's terms so newbs, the vast majority of the smartphone market in general including myself, have an easy guideline that avoid the as much as errors as possible and waste little time worrying over minor details if everything is laid out. i also update w/ a change log whenever i see a significant improvement done @ alldroid.org

Cool i got 2.1 working but i ran into TWO problems, first when foramting the data thre my computers command prompt i got a blocking erorr( forgot the name of erorr, something liek Ax000000....) but formating eveyrthing else worked fine, so since i didnt format the data what happends now, i still mamged to boot 2.1 from nandroid restore. do i need to go in manually and cahnge anything to format the data? and also, i didnt get the nexus one boot flash screen on start up, i thought this 2.1 rom comes with it?
Can someone answer my two questions pleaseeee<3 thanksss ANDROID FORUMMM!!!!

Got 2.1 up and running and I love it, I have 1 question though... The version of 2.1 I put on is HC's and I now do not have su permission. So my question is, if I were to switch to a different version of 2.1, would I have to reroot my droid (and will rooting be the same process?) and follow all of these steps again, or could I just put the new version in the nandroid folder, wipe and load it up?? Thanks for your help!
