Help Missing speech to text and ripple effect on live wallpaper on my updated milestone...

[pctek]

Ok so I have a unlocked unbranded brand new milestone I got couple days ago and it came with 2.0 firmware. NOw I went to this site:

http://www.sigridschrijft.be/index.php/manually-update-your-milestone-to-android-2-1/

And downloaded the 104mb firmware file which the name is: SHOLS_U2_02.31.0_UCASHLSMR2EMEAB1B805C.0R_PDS003_USASHLS00RTEU_P042_A005_HWp2a_1FF.sbf

So it installed no problems but compared to my nephews droid 2.1 from verizon his has the live wallpaper like mine does, but on his when you hit the screen of the live wallpaper you see the ripple effect but on my I dont.

Also Mines missing the speecn to text also, I dotn see a microphone icon in the virtual keyboard when in a text field, also when he holds the search button at the bottom a speak now command comes up for you to say something, anyone know why Im missing these?

Well after doing some research online last night maybe the reason the speech to text is not there because I installed the Central europe firmware which I posted above in my thread.

I heard that the speech to text is english only so I think you have to choose a 2.1 firmware of the english build like the UK firmware this one:
SHOLS_U2_02.31.0_UCASHLSMR2EMEAB1B805C.0R_PDS003_USASHLS00RTGB_P023_A018_HWp2a_1FF.sbf.gz

Or whatever other firmware that are consiered english language.

I can understand the speech to text not be enable to the central europe firmware I installed since its not a english country, but I dont see the ripple effect on live wallpapers when U press the screen with a finger. But I do see the ripple effect animation that it does on its own but like my nephews droid 2.1 if he press on the screen the ripple effect happens.

I noticed this happening when i updated to 2.1 too.

Thing is, some live wallpapers fully work and others don't. For instance my NexusMod and Seeds of Life ones dont react to touches anymore, but my Starfield one does! No idea what's going on.
