Always a good thread to have handy, so Ive stickied it. Now you just need to keep it updated.
 
Shopsavvy - Same issues as original post

Home Defense - Can't seem to pull it up in market, regardless of how I try. (not necessarily phone related)

DxTop and aHome battery Meter - Neither of these gave me errors, but I can't seem to access them now that they are installed. They just plain don't show up anywhere except in market.

Locale will initiate fine, but it won't turn my ringer back on after the set amount of time... I have to do it manually every time. Tried reinstalling. Same result.
 
I could be wrong but are the apps you mention 2.0 compatible ?

That is more than likely the reason, not the phone it self.
 
Beautiful widgets works but it doesn't seem to render quite right. Some of the lines and text don't seem to line up correctly.
 
It wouldn't le me download beautiful widgets for some reason it kept giving me a network error. I also can;t find mobile defense available yet.

Yeah, same note that I put in my post.

That actually bugs me... I can't think of another app more important to me than that one, and it just disappeared? They have the option of a manual download on their page, I think... but I couldn't get to the download either. Page not found.

I was going to email them tonight (if I can find an email), but I got sidetracked with all of these posts. lol. You can tell a new phone launched today. In the 3 hours it takes me to finish my courier route... 4 days ago - 33 posts. 3 days ago - 52 posts. 2 days - 127 posts. Last night - 353. Tonight - 1,376.

Look up an app called weather widget - donate. Its another Hero style flip clock with time, date and weather.

Edit: I recommend Beautiful Widgets as it looks better, but this ones good too.

Edit 2: Might want to give Market, and app makers some time to catch up to 2.0 before trying to adjust your home screens with open home. aHome. and the like.

yea i have both of them on my computer. i gotta try both when my phone gets here.
 
ShopSavvy was the first App I ever downloaded for the Droid. It works but it can sometimes take a while to focus on the barcode if you have a shaky hand :)

A game that does not render graphics properly is Neocore. I hear it's a game with amazing graphics :(
 
i hope pacman works

i downloaded the rutger S9 9mm handgun app in verizon on their model. it was funny showing people how to use it to shoot things.

you guys can download the rutger S9, or the AK47 in the market. theyre free.
 
I'm not an Android expert, so hopefully someone can calm my fears...but this seems like a major annoyance, if you can't expect backwards compatibility and you're going to have to wait for a lot of apps to catch up everytime the OS is updated. Are there any measures being taken in the 2.0 firmware to ensure more compatibility from 2.0 forward? Like once everyone has brought their apps up to date with 2.0 they'll be more future-proof?

What you're asking for isnt really backwards compatability but rather forward compatibility which likely wont happen as the app devs cant really predict what will and wont work in the future. Most off the good apps all have great support and they usually get things worked out rather quickly.
 
What are the chances these scan barcode apparently are having issues,because the camera it self can't focus properly. What a shame oh well I still got 29 days to return

Try using AF in the camera app, yup works just fine.

I'll bet it's because it's not 2.0 Compatible. I just sent shopsavvy an email asking about compatibility.
