Wow this has been a great week. Saints win. Android 2.1. Only thing to make it the best week ever would be flash and megan fox.

The real question is whether we should deny the upgrade, as it may 'unroot' us. It all depends on whether it replaces the recovery image.

I'd prefer a flash from Megan Fox myself...

Yep doing a nandroid backup tonight. Now since i am rooted and running bugless beauty 7.2 will anything mess up during the OTA if it is OTA?

 

[cereal killer]

The final version had to be in by Friday of this week so what they actually push out is anybody's guess.

 

[knotbeerdan]

so we wont see it till next week if it has to be in by friday :icon_eek: Unless im missing something

I for one won't be upgrading. Until I can put Flash on either as a download from Adobe or a ROM update...no point. What does 2.1 offer that I don't already have besides Flash that makes it worth losing different ports from the Milestone, the ability to overclock, the ability to monitor real time temps, the ability to take a screenshot without having to use a home replacement app, etc etc?

Nothing.
