Question about new 2.1 leak

for those who are running the new (2nd Version) of the 2.1 leak, does it have friendstream and the htc news widget (a la the Desire/ Legend). I don't know if HTC/ Verizon have said that that would be part of the official firmware for the droid eris when the OTA update comes out, but those are the two widgets I am most looking forwards too, especially the news widgets, becasue all the ones from the market I have tried haven't worked too great and don't look good while running sense.

I for one hope we get these features, I know they were not in the original 2.1 leak, which i had installed on my phone that was replaced under warranty for a new one running 1.5.

Maybe they can be added in screen that says get more htc widgets? ths option never worked for me on the leak however,

Also I noticed that on every other 2.1 sense rom besides the leaked one for the eris that there is no htc widgets (they are all under widgets)
 
damn, so do you think we will get them or are they not going to implement them. If its the later, i hope someone makes a custom rom that ports them over... i wonder if they can be removed from the legend firmware and installed?
 
Well the news/weather widget that came on the N1 is floating around here somewhere.

As far as friendstream goes, I think it may end up like live wallpapers for us. It will be out there and something that can possibly be picked up or hacked to work, but I don't think we will get a native copy.

I was getting this bug on the original leak all the time but I haven't gotten it once today.

The dialer feels a lot snappier.

Thank you. I have been waiting for the OTA because of that issue and I suppose I can wait a little bit longer. But if it doesn't start rolling out by the end of the month, I am flashing.
 
Anyone notice an absence of multi-touch in this new leak? I can't go into leap view using it and photos don't seem to respond to it either...

Yup, the first major bug it looks like.

Nope, it works just fine. Try rebooting.
 
I don't see why friendstream/ the newsreader widgets would be that hard to get to run, the legend is only slightly more powerful. live wallpapers i can understand, but that would just kill battery anyways, the eris battery isn't the greatest to begin with. anyone noticing improved battery life?
 
Anyone else noticing the lock screen, or lack thereof? After restarting my phone to fix the "pinch to zoom" I seem to have lost my lock screen. I've restarted it three times, it comes up at first, then disappears for the remainder of the time it's up. Pushing the end call button to sleep the phone then pushing it again to wake it up, I should be getting the lock screen, but it goes straight to Home. Any ideas?

Don't know how, don't know why, but I used Lockbot Pro to set a lock screen, used it a couple of times, then turned it off. Now, the original lock screen works like it did before. Must have been "user error"....
