Hmm is it true that you can't go back to 1.5 if you aren't rooted and you installed the RUU? What does that mean when we want to upgrade to the official 2.1?

And I thought 2.1 waS supposed to have voice input for texting. But I don't see anything

It does have this built in, just need a keyboard that has the icon. I hated the xda one from Fresh ROM. Well, hated is a little rough. I just didn't like it as much. :)
 
Can anyone thats installed 2.1 on there htc hero tell me if you can install and run apps from the microsd card? I hate that it installs apps in rom and not ram.
 
So what prep work must be done before install? Would I need to write down all Market apps that I have? Install the RUU. Then re-install all Market apps?

Or if you do an HTC Sync before installing the RUU, are the Market apps saved to your PC?

Looking for some clarity. Thanks in advance!

All I did was sync my contacts and calender to Google, plugged my phone into the pc and ran the .exe file. After everything was finished updating I synced Google to get all my contacts back, opened up the Market, selected 'downloads' and it had all the apps I had previously downloaded listed. All I had to do was re-install them... Super simple.
 
This is fantastic. Thanks for sharing. Works great. I did it on my non-rooted phone. No issues so far. Lovin the 2.1!!!!
 
Just installed it around an hour ago no problems what so ever. I really dont see a huge difference in the update besides more marketplace apps and some fancy home screens. The install takes over 20 minutes total so be patient. Tethering works, contacts loaded all ok, everything seems to be just as it should be.
 
I really didn't play with it too much until after I rooted it and installed busybox. Once I did that I removed all the sprint apps I didn't want and then I started playing with it. It was screaming fast.
 
so can someone confirm if we can go back to 1.5 after we upgrade to this? cause we gonna need the original 1.5 when the official release comes out correct?

I would think the final release is going to come as an RUU just like this one. It will take whatever you have and just wipe it all out and replace it with everything in the RUU.

so by updating today to this I will not cause my any problems in the future when the official gets released.... I don't know I am just a little skeptical about this release...

So i noticed that the tube downloader app from koyotesoft does not show up in Market now. Wondering if its just a 2.1 thing in general or if its an issue with this specific 2.1 leak. Can anyone confirm?

protected apps will not show up because this RUU is signed with test keys. I have already tried modifying build.prop and clearing cache but that didn't work for me.
 
I registered to let everyone know that I installed this update last night and it works great. pinch, market and everything else I tried, except "swype" I am looking for a version that will work on the sprint hero.

So if I understand this right, any applications that I have paid for will not show up in the market?
 
I will wait for the official then... cause i have about 2-3 paid apps that I do use a lot through out the day...
