I used the track ball to make my selections. I installed 2.1 easily and I would have to say it is RUNNING GREAT! I am glad I just loaded the leaked file...But what is going to happen when the OTA comes and we already have 2.1? Will we have to do the process over?

now 2.1 for sure has to get root!!! That would be awesome! Then though I will be rooting for root on the incredible if it is so incredible...if not... N1(2) will be mine!!!
 
I'm sorry if someone already stated this question but I am new to the forum. If droid eris does get 2.1 will the root production already in effect be pointless? Will the root for current 1.5 no longer work?
 
More than likely 1.5 will not be rooted... With this new 2.1 rom that came out everyone is looking for root for 2.1.. I wouldnt get my hopes up for root with 1.5
 
FIrst off thank you for breaking my forum cherry ^_^ and yeah that's what I was expecting. The few people I know that got their hands on 2.1 says it exceeded their expectations so hopefully 2.1 root will be intense.
 
I assume all work on ROOTing the eris has stopped until the complete and official version of 2.1 comes out. I hope someone can ROOT 2.1 so I can change more settings. I want trackball colors and setting such as how long it stays lit or how fast it pulses. I'd also like to change my notification LED.

It has not, they're still working on things in the irc. And I'm sure there are others out there working on it still as well.

Definetly exceeded my expectation on how smooth my phone would run, has not exceeded my expectation of bugs. The new software borught on a couple MINOR bugs but all in all I am extremely happy . My phone has never ran as smooth as it does now, could be the wipe and re organazing of my downloads but it's great.... I am now running three diffrent homes to, trying to figure out what I like best between Home,Sense and DXtop
 
Took me 3 hours to get the 2.1 on my phone...2.5 hours of that was trying to figure out what my google account information was (I NEVER log into it), 15 minutes to download the rom, and 5 or less to actually install. It was a long night.

So far I'm very happy with it. Like ChiTownJim said, a couple minor bugs, but overall great stuff!

Has anyone else with 2.1 been getting account login errors ie, have to re login to your google account, every now and then?

TURN BY TURN NAV, PHONE, AND MUSIC THROUGH BLUTOOTH HEAD UNIT IN YOUR CAR IS AMAZING!!!

Yes I've been getting a random login error every once in awhile when Ive reset my phone
 
Guys, I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but there is a whole thread to discuss 2.1. I like to come to this thread for news on root.
 
So beside the minor bug in withthe log in. What other bug/glitches has anyone found. Im downloading soon but dont want to go in blind. Like to now what it looks like, so I can maybe imagine something better.:eek:
 
@ flspnr thx I just visit the link n it seems like many minor issue with the rom.
I am going to have trick my buddy into downloading the rom. He will be my lab rat. haha. Plus he has insurance.

Does the 2.1 run smoother just cuz its a better OS or does it allow to do more other than google maps navigation and google goggles? We still need a root. Nexus 2.1 already has root why not us?! But you can expect the new OS to have minor bugs just like the eris did before the first 2 ota bug fix updates.

I think it runs smoother because of the way it handles processes, memory, and just being a better OS. Some have said it's because it's a fresh start which may be partially true but I've downloaded I'd say 90% of the apps I had before and have download another 10 or so that I didn't have on 1.5.

EDIT
Just realizedd I posted another 2.1 topic in the root thread, my bad
 
Oh no! 2.1 has taken over the root thread too!!!

I thought the general consensus was that HTC had patched up Android 1.5 pretty tight and that attempting to hack it via any remaining exploits were futile.... Of course, people thought they'd root 2.1 within a week of it being out (I love how people put timeframes on things like this). What they forgot -- minor issue and all -- is that HTC hasn't released the source for 2.1 (yet). Doh !!
 
Fo[[you[ root fix why not come join us in the irc at irc.thefuzz4.net room #droideris. We are working on it but at least in the room you can see first hand and maybe help out as well.thanksB]r[/B]B] [/B]B]r[/B]
