So do you think that it would be possible to use some backup software to restore my apps and settings since this is 2.1 > 2.1 ?
 
So far so good. Up to the activation screen. Seems to have kept the programming data in place. No need for a *228 activation.
 
well about to be off to sleep I guess i will see how this works on in the morning...btw what do you guys use to backup your apps?
 
can someone post a link to a way to install this on the eris

im still operating 1.5 and i have no idea how to install this badboy
 
Jayse, to avoid signal problems, you might want to *228 opt. 2 anyway. Can you post the About phone>Software information details?

Sounds like all the instructions for installing the older 2.1 leak still apply. Move the file into the ROOT directory of your SD card, turn the phone off, and power it back on by holding the CALL and END buttons simultaneously. Then use the volume rocker to navigate the menu and follow the onscreen instructions. It's really hard to mess it up, honestly.
 
Still a few bugs. The radio seems to be working better. Showing 3 bars inside my house. Used to have only 1 on the old release. No pics in GMAIL still. That's as far as I've gotten.
 
Excited to try this once it finishes downloading... (over 20 minutes on college internet... I thought that was sposed to be fast!)

Hopefully some of the annoying bugs are fixed with this too... it'll be nice to have sense working like it should and everything to show up in the market!

keeping a close eye on this over the next few hours before I hit the sack for the night!
 
anyways guys , im going to bed, ill try to get on here in the morning to see whats going on, goodluck everyone and enjoy, hope it works out better for you like it did for me.

About to ask the same thing about apps... if theres not a huge difference.. i don't want to reinstall all my apps from scratch again!
 
I'd usually be the first to update, but I'm going to wait this out. Hopefully the devs can get root on this version and the 2.1 leakers may be able to finally update to a rooted version of 2.1
 
Now I'm wondering if I'll be able to get the Swype beta software again if I flash this. That alone is worth waiting.
