Thetomlin, have you tried ES File Explorer, or AndroZip, and used the App Manager in either of those, to try to Back Up the program?

You might be able to back it up to SD card, then reload it later.

I have thought of it ... but the app has to log in to MLB.com when I listen to the games. I dont want to take the chance that it wouldnt work ... probable a slim chance of problems, but I dont need 2.1 right now ... so its not worth the rick of losing an app that gets me through my work day.

Is there another place that we can download this from? I would really like to install this on my phone... and soon.

I just pushed the send button on an email to you with the file attached. Now we'll see if both of our email servers will let a file that size through. Note that I changed the file name to .leak so that it will be less likely to trip up various virus scanners. You'll need to change it's name back to .zip before you try to do anything with it. That assumes that you get it at all, which I question. That's a honkin' big file, I expect the email servers will reject it.
Be patient Grasshopper, it's only at 3% sent on my end after I finished writing this.

Edit: the send puked (that'd be a technical term) at about 12%. So email doesn't seem to be a viable option.
 
I don't know of any web based emails that will send a file that size.

Do you not have access to a PC?
 
Ahhh screw it! I was going to wait for the OTA, but I just can't resist any longer. Downloaded and installing now..........

I have MLB At Bat, if that's what you're talking about. I have the apk which I can send to you so you don't have to worry about it not showing up in the Market again.

I can save the apk ... thats not the problem I am worring about ... I want to make sure it will log in if I update to the leaked 2.1. Have you upgrated? If so, does At Bat work normally?

I have never been able to connect at home for some reason, but I just connected at the office and it is working fine.

i have the same issue, both with 1.5 and 2.1, only at home. everywhere else is fine.
my wife is still on 1.5 and has never had a problem

since 3G is excellent at my house, I have not worried about it. that said, it would be great if this where to be resolved.
 
Blah...I'll loose all my Better Cut custom icons and the entire setup I've created, plus have to reinstall all my apps and lose any other data not stored on my SD card (settings). Whereas waiting for the official OTA may not remove all these items since it would be an update of 2.1. I really don't like spending all the time to get my phone looking like I have it right now...I'll be holding off for now. Plus, it appears that I still won't be able to get my paid Documents to Go app, yet.

Loging in and using the app shouldn't be a problem. Getting it on your phone is the hardest part.


I still miss tv.com. :(

Or not ... just tried to save the apk and its protected. If you could email it to me that would be great. My email is my screen name @gmail.com

does anyone know the differences (pros and cons) between the old leak and the new one?
Click to expand...

So far I am getting a better battery signal, well it is showing my bars more accurately anyway. The google log in issue is gone too.

I have into any cons yet.
 
I felt really unhappy having taken the leap with the previous 2.1 leak. Here's to hoping this one makes me hopeful again.

Reading through the 6 pages was helpful XD I went ahead and got appbrain, here's a link for myself.

Downloading atm. I've noticed the lack of pics still. What would you guys like pics of? XD
 
ok once you turn the phone on after i did the sd card install i come to a white screen with hboot highlighted blue and send fastboot mode and vol up recovery ....do i do anything from here...thanks !!!
 
To whom it may concern, here are the differences between the ZIP file for the old leak (2.26.605.2) and the ZIP file for the new leak (2.26.605.4):

1. The hboot, PRL, and radio.img are completely identical (regardless of the different date for the radio.img).
2. The original leak was created around February 11, the new leak around March 1.
3. The CRC's for boot.img and userdata.img are different even though the file size is the same, so it's likely the files have slightly different contents (perhaps just the new date or build number in lieu of the old).
4. The main differences are in recovery.img and system.img.

It would appear that their business model is to flood the market with Android phones first, then fix issues second.

Nothing wrong with flooding the market, but it's always a good idea to make sure a key feature works. Having pushed email is what will help drive blackberry users over to android. Not being able to see embedded pics will hurt that. Even my BB Curve was able to view embedded images. Either way, I still love my Eris and so do all the people I've convinced to buy one.
 
could someone please try to load the root from this rom??? :)
i mean...just maybe...
i didnt read all the post (my heart is on the incredible now...) so if someone already posted this sorry :)
i`ll def try when i get home today!
i have 4 hours to myself WHOO HOO!!! :)

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.

The way I understand it the gmail problem is an app problem. It's found on all phones running the 2.xx roms. At least that is my understanding of it. So google needs to fix the app, and from what I've read they are working on it, but you can read anything on the internet ;)
