Android 2.1 Update Rolls Out For Motorola Droid!

[Gehangin]

What does it say on your about screen on your Droid?

It says "2.1-update1"

You might not have SU permissions, go to terminal, type su, and see what happens.

You are correct!
I typed SU and got "permission denied"
So I guess my Root access is, indeed, gone.
BUT - the changes I made while rooted under 2.0.1 have remained, namely the Hebrew fonts I put in there. They are still working just fine. I can read and write in Hebrew. Here on the board everybody told me I would loose the changes made while rooted. Wierd, no?

Does the x-keyboard run on non-rooted droids? And if so, does anybody have the apk posted? I did a search, and didn't really come up with a downloadable file.

Thanks

How so? As in they aren't going to make them anymore or they aren't going to support them anymore? The Droid should have support for quite a while.

Yes it works. There is a link in this thread to download the keyboard:

Install using Astro or similar.

I apologize if this is a duplicate as I don't read this thread as often as I should:

I just updated my non-rooted Droid running 2.1 to the new 2.2 and it rocks. dancedroid

The only thing that you have to make sure of is that you save the file to the SD card without being in a folder. Upon updating, it works flawlessly.

I saw that too. Soooo I downloaded from the forum here (I'm not rooted). It's been almost a week and I've been into most every program on my phone. There were about 4 of them that wouldn't run from the widget on a home screen so I just dumped it and reloaded the widget and each have worked from that point on. It does alson seem everything is running slicker and quicker and my stock battery is lasting much longer.
