For those with the 2.1 Leak - Droid Eris Android Development

It is very broken as most of us who have it know. No Google Earth, many apps closing for no apparent reason, etc. I was wondering if there is anything out there to R00T or Upgrade to 2.1 OTA/2.2 FroYo ?

You're an idiot. If you spent even 5 minutes browsing these boards you would have seen over 9000 threads pertaining to this. Which leak version are you on? Do you even know? Search for V3 leak and install it, its the same as the OTA update and fixes a lot of bugs from the first leak. and no you can't root.
And trust me, you're not just annoying abn75 and I. I'm sure most of the leakers are even sick of these f*cking threads.

d00d, its pretty bad when WalkingTaco is right.

To get information/status on root read the official root status thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=666759&page=12
leakers will get the OTA by 5/24 (quoting the VERY UNRELIABLE VZW twitter support)
I don't think the eris will ever get official froyo but for people with root there is already a froyo ROM based off 2.2 SDK, it is buggy and slow but will get much better when the source code for froyo is released.
I'm sure most of the leakers are even sick of these f*cking threads.

Man the question has been answered in every single thread and post about this subject. As soon as someone figures out how to root the leak, or update the leak it will be posted all over the place. Asking every single day, multiple times does not make the devs want to work on it any faster, nor will it force vzw to possibly release a update for the leaks any faster. The devs get tired of being bugged about the status of the leak, so asking them over and over and over again may actually cause them to stop working on it completely. And as for vzw, well I think we know where they stand.

lol .. sorry but i gotta agree with walking_taco and kevlar...im not on leak but i still take the time to read before posting maybe instead of posting a question that has been answered in atleast 9000 other posts, maybe u could have used half the time it took you to write the ? and answered it for yourself and not have to listen to ppl ***** about u asking a previously answered question.. these forums and threads are here for a reason and there is soooooo much information you can find out by just taking the time to read.. and the devs on here as well as the members are very helpful if you can just take the time to help yourself as well.. im not trying to be an (_0_) but just pointing out some facts is all..

Oh I was generally sorry, excuse me for causing you distress as well. I am quite sure I am on V1 as I downloaded it the day the leak came out. But thank you for helping WalkingTaco. I did not know about further leaks as I was not a part of this board until today, just kinda lurked whenever Gizmodo or Engadget linked here.
Thank you again for your assisstance, I truly appreciate it.

are the two updates leak V3 and the OTA the same?

from what i have read in posts concerning v3 and ota, my understanding on it is that they are identical and feel free to correct me if this information is wrong.. also from what i have read, if you do have leak you will not be able to get the ota update which i dont see as a problem due to the similiarities.. anyway please feel free to correct me if any of this info is wrong.

Google earth will never work for eris, until google rewrites some libraries (maybe never).

thanks for the info on that jcase.. i wasnt aware of the google earth issue..

Yet another Sprint 2.1 Rumor

Just saw this pop up on my news reader figured I would share. Lets hope it is true

Yeah... I saw that. Little skeptical though because once you trace the source back to handhelditems they say someone got that info from a webchat with Sprint. We all know to think twice about those! lol It does seem to line up with that April 9th update that's been floating around though. Who knows...
Hopefully this is true and not another april fools prank. It was about a week-week and a half ago they rumored it would release in the coming weeks. Fingers crossed.................
With all the sprint leaks we have been getting I think it might be getting close.
But who knows
I already have it thanks damage
good, it's about time, tired of watching people get LEAKS and then not sharing the source...

don't worry, Sprint will just repackage one of the XDA roms as their own and use it as the official update
ive said it once ill say it again the april 9th update is a maintenance release to fix mms issues not 2.1
sprint hasnt told us anything beyond that
any new news on an "official" release date? im hearing either the 9th or 26th of this month? i don't get why sprint is soo tight lipped about this?
also when is the nexus & evo launching on sprint?
no ONE cares anymore

with alot of tweaking to do after the initial install, yes your right.
i hope when the final comes out and we get custom roms, we won't have to apply any fixes. this is one reason im back to 1.5 for now. i have faith in the devs here, they do great work!
Why do we keep creating threads on this issue. It is a waste of space. It will come when Sprint is ready to release it. They have never given an exact date. People get so pissed because they haven't sent an update. Well guess what. When you bought your phone it had 1.5. They are not required to update it to 2.1. Either use a custom ROM or shut up and wait until it comes out.Then when it comes on don't get on here complaining about how crappy the release is.
I have Fresh 2.0d and it is working very well.
----------------------------
Shut up and wait
Running: Fresh2.0d
Developing:WarpedMetal (T minus 2 weeks)
Just got out of a sprint chat. this is what they're saying
honestly no thread can "waste space" as well we have plenty of it. I wasn't complaining nor *****ing about it. I am more happy with the legend based roms then the leaked Sprint roms but when the official Rom hits it will help with more development to fix issues and get faster roms out there. honestly if you don't like these threads the easy thing to do is stay out of them. no one is forcing anyone to read the forum or a certain posts. forums are for talking that is there main and only reason for existing.
damn I hate trolls.

Does Sprint use any automated responses on the chat support? I know there's quite a few companies that do, the program just selects a basic response to generic questions about that subject, and it seems like the responses that are given by these reports are way too "computery" to be coming from a human. So I'm guessing that the system Sprint's chat support uses has a list of responses pop up based on key words in the client's question.
Probably way off base, but it'd almost make sense based on how similar the responses are in all these chat transcripts.

No date yet, but...

Just for the record, Sprint had everyone take the Android 2.1 training today, update should be soon.
Oh, really? Should that make me excited?
Are you being sarcastic?
Yes. We need a sub-forum for 2.1 release news/theories.
This makes what, 150 2.1 release threads?
All I was doing was trying to help by giving an ACTUAL update rather than a rumor, and even stated there was no official release set. Not sure what bit you in the ass.

I wasn't intending anything negative to the OP, just the fact that there are already hundreds of threads that this could have been put in. Thank you for the info though.
we already have 2.1 and all the goodies we need. im just waiting to see the " 2.6.29 source is released" thread!!!! then i can finally go to bed before 3am again

this has nothing to do with the date of the release. he was providing factual information.
thank you
Thank you for the update. It is appreciated. This definitely deserved a new thread.
Some of us are looking forward to 2.1 roms without random audio problems, etc. The official Sprint release will instantly mean an enormous number of fixes for the roms that everyone here uses (nearly all of which were based on the Sprint leak anyway). So we most certainly do not "already have 2.1 and all the goodies we need" from my perspective.

another 2.1 thread OMG!! what a jackass! i hate you. haha just kidding just seems like every one got super pissed and i wanted to jump on the hate wagon. its not you we hate tho its 2.1.
I guess I fall in line with the first few replies... we already knew training was coming soon and release is in May according to Sprint Documents. What more did we need to know? This thread only says exactly what has been stated 100 times this week. Thanks..
Edit: It's not that I hate the info.. I just feel like this could be posted under any of the other 20 recent 2.1 threads scattered across the next 10 pages.
mrcharlesiv, completely offtopic, but i love your avatar. have it as a tattoo on my chest. going to any of the concerts this summer? They stop in Ft. Lauderdale in 2 days!

Agreed. Even the most stable of the 2.1 ROMs based on the Sprint leak, are still pretty buggy. In my opinion, the leak that all of our ROMs are based on is nowhere near final code. I will honestly be happy to have a stock, fully functional ROM with some minor speed tweaks. To date, I still think Gumbo 1.5c was the best Hero ROM, I just can't bring myself to go back to 1.5. I just love some of the 2.1 features and apps too much.

Someone hurry & root this official Sprint 2.1

I'm tired of looking at this bloatware!!!
I'll donate $20 to the first guy who nails it.
Peace.
Be patient grasshopper! It will happen in due time.
Why dont you root it if you want it so bad.
Hate to be a ****, but its your own damn fault. Hundreds of times it was posted NOT to update the phone and wait for a ROM based off the official release or wait until root was achieved. Didnt read em? TFB. I hope no one EVER achieves root this time.

So i got one with root and one thats rooted and I gotta say this yes all these posts whining need to stop. But I do want to say why not? There aren't any roms as fast as this right now and everytime that there is a good one it gets ****ed up or forgotten before its done. The only thing that has any hope is the froyo thing right now because all the devs are working on it together.
I hate to admit it but I agree one hundred percent with dark shnieder. A million times we all said dont install the new signed 2.1 releAse and this shows that ignorance is the downfall for those who do not listen. Do yourselfs a favor all u ppl who installed stock 2.1... when the community tells you not to do something don't ****ing do it. Now deal with your ignorance until 2.1 is rooted.
I don't care one way or the other, I've had working 2.1 for months and I am very happy with it. If you were dumb enough to flash a ROM without researching it first, you get what you deserve. I've been running damages ROM's since they came out and have had little to no issues. I am currently running 2.08.1 and have no problems at all. So, if they come out with another update to DC or not, I'm am very happy with the ROM I have.
Hell, Ive been running ports of Android versions since Donut started to get ported (it wasnt a daily for me since I couldnt get SMS working) then played around with early 2.1 builds. I can say I was one of the few that actually saw all these 2.1 ROMs evolve from pretty basic stuff, kinda like what Froyo is right now.
I learned my lesson back with the PSP: "do not update to the latest and greatest if you know the community will come up with better stuff in days if not hours of that release".
Not everyone flashed the 2.1 RUU. I took my phone in for service and it was deemed hardware failure. They gave me a brand new phone and installed 2.1 on it without asking me if I wanted it. I asked for another phone with 1.5 and they said no LOL. So I am stuck with 2.1 stock until someone figures out how to root it. And I can't wait, because some of the ROMs I have been reading about sound real nice.

I would wait on the root and keep it private until froyo gets released, the rooting process you guys do come up with might get heard by the wrong person and they could patch it in froyo. this is a common practice when it comes to hacking devices that i have seen, once exploits are found generally the dev waits for the next update that way it can be rooted as well. Just my opinion...

Usually, root is device specific (I think). If Google releases Froyo after our "2.1 root", it most likely wont be patched since the Hero is not on the list to get that upgrade.

Hope!

Here are a few quotes from good ol birdman-
KeithBlak Keith Black
@_mrbirdman_ Mr. Sir, everyone has been real quiet about the dX bootloader, and it seems some are giving up. Is there still hope?

@KeithBlak There is hope....just you wait and see

I just want 2.1 back. I should have read further before stupidly, and blindly, just upgrading to the OTA because I could. I really hope this is what is being worked on.
he is waiting for the 2.2 sbf to modify the bootloader.. but with motorola keeping it close to chest, its hard to get a hold of.. SOMEONE SEND IT TO HIM!!
He tweeted a lone tweet last night, "certain thing". Sounds like he may have obtained the Samuel Bravo Foxtrot! Let's hope for some news soon.

Yeah.. I can't mess with the kernel or bootloader... but I rarely do that anyway. What I do on a normal basis.. can already be done.

Eh, his point is you can already do that, and in his defense, he is pretty much right. However, we cannot modify the kernel, and thus cannot have a true Rom, this is something I would like to be able to do.
Once the bootloader is unlocked/bypassed we will then be able to have true built from source Rom's/Kernels and unlock the true potential of the DX. Cyanogen has said he will support the Droid X/2 once its unlocked, CCR is already building an AOSP Rom but with the Moto kernel for obvious reasons so there is hope on the horizon. A leak of the "Sierra Bravo Foxtrot" will be found, then the fun begins for everyone as we will all have a way back to safety.

That's what I was looking for.
So to sum it up:
We can already customize the Droid X like any other android phone on the market (remove bloatware, theme frameworks, play with root priveleges, etc)... but some ppl are wanting more.
The ppl that are wanting more... are wanting to get to the brains (kernel & bootloader) so they can build a ROM from scratch, get some CM lovin, TRUE overclocking, BF scheduling, UV'ing, TRUE recovery, etc.
I understand that... and always understood it lol. I just always wondered why I saw so many posts asking for things that can already be done.. and have been.

hope that explains it.

You'd think it would be on rapidshare or something by now if that was the case. I find it really hard to believe that 2.2 sbf has been leaked at all.
Do a google search for "droid x 2.2 sbf" and look at your first couple hits.. you will see that the moderators have removed the posts because of threats they received from motorola.
as for improving our chances of finding it we need the actual file name..
Get the file name and we have just up'd our chances by 10x.

Good news for Droid Incredible owners, you may have the first-almost-fully functional Gingerbread ROM thanks to r2DoesInc over at XDA Forums. As of late last night, the newest build fixed almost everything that would cause you to not use it except for video recording and a working GPS. Other than that though, the browser now works fine, the camera snaps shots, and things like multi-touch have all been polished up.
Is someone working on a Fascinate Gingerbread ROM??
Man these threads make my head hurt...

Another useless thread .... let's see. Maybe because Inc. devs have the correct code to work with (i.e RIL). Others have pointed this out in countless other 'Where's Froyo' threads. Be patient. You hold in your hand a much better phone than the Incredible, regardless of what software it's running.
Swyped from my Stupidfast Fascinate
One day hopefully we will get 2.3, but the incredible having 2.3 doesn't really affect us. I had 2.2 on my eris for the past 3 months at least and the fascinate doesn't have it. Even without having froyo, I still like the fascinate 10x more than I ever liked my eris. When the update does come it will just make it even better.
When the update do come, we all probably already left the fascinate and unto the incredible hd. Sad but it' the truth. Too many disapointments and lack of urgency from samsung.

Oh, I know what you mean. No wonder the devs stopped coming here so much. The questions been answered. There's a search function for a reason-use it.
Actually I find the search function to be a little clunky. I always use it anyway, but often google works fastest. It is amazing how quickly this forum gets indexed.
However, the most obvious is the list of posts that come up when you try to start a topic. At minimum, one should look into those. There has been an excess of overlap this month.

I said the same thing with the Samsung Moment..I was Awed by the AMOLED display, but Samsung's record of device support is in the ****ter. Then I bought a Fascinate because of the camera and the SAMOLED display.
I use this phone for what it is..a phone. Everything else is extra, and this phone has the BEST camera for any cell phone on the market currently. I'll stick with Samsung for now

Ditto... although it could be because of the copious amounts of alcohol I consumed last night.
Alright, enoughs enough... Lets get a moderator to make a thread stating WHY we do not have froyo/GB so we don't have to read the same thing over and over again... Its simple... we DO NOT have the RIL source code and the one they even gave us is botched at best (from what I have read). So simply make a thread with that name then simply put we will not have a working gb/froyo ROM until we get the RIL source code from sammy (or a verizon one leaks out at which point, we will make a new thread in the developement section). This is the only options we have. There are no workarounds. STOP posting random meaningless threads about your idea because it won't work. If still think it will please head over to the IRC and talk to a dev about it but expect to get charred from the flaming if it is something dumb.
PS: you can never expect people to use the Search Button.... its sad but its the truth

Wow..re-reading what I wrote..I sound like a blooming retard.
Maybe, but what you wrote is truth. This phone is quite good at what it does as is; I hope they don't screw that up with an update. Given some of what I've read about Froyo on other sgs phones, I'd rather have what we have now.
