"How do I open the bootloader on startup to load roms?"

You can't right now. The bootloader is locked so custom roms is a no go until they figure out how to get around the signature check. Who knows if/when that will happen.

When I do this, it doesn't keep the date changed. It just reverts back to the correct date. Even with the "automatic" option turned off it still changes it back.

^^^ yup yup. The milestone (GSM version of the Droid) also has a locked bootloader and no one has cracked it yet. Guess we lucked up with the Droid being unlocked.

Yeah, but when I changed mine to August 17, 2011 it installed Android 2.4

I'm seeing MUCH better battery life with froyo on my evo...my juiceplotter graphs have really leveled out.

Quote :

"Rumors have begun to fly around the dark tunnels of the interwebs (here and here) that the FRG01B Froyo update for the Motorola Droid has been halted due to unnamed bugs. Seems odd right? You’d think that pretty thorough testing had been done before they decided to start launching this puppy. Right? On a related note, you may recall the leaked FRG22 Froyo build for the Droid that we posted this morning which definitely came as an extremely interesting surprise. Why would Motorola and Verizon be pumping out new builds if the OTA is rolling out and confirmed as FRG01B? Well we just received this screenshot in an email from a reader and could potentially help clear up all this confusion (or compound it). He claims to have received FRG01B, only to be prompted immediately after with a “security patch” which was about “1.6mb” and took him to build FRG22. Did that make sense? Time to start cracking on Google servers for the file! It could potentially look something like this: https://android.clients.google.com/updates/voles/signed-voles-FRG22-from-FRG01B.e48e48ff.zip Update: I should add that if you updated to FRG01B yesterday manually, you are fine. There is almost 100% chance that a file will be available to upgrade you to whatever the new build is should this whole story be true. This happened to the Nexus One 2-3 times during its Froyo update. We’re digging deeper…"

8/4/2010 8:40:14 PM

looks like Sapphire 1.0 is out. Gonna give this a go shortly since I really liked 0.8.4

Another good one is Jrummy's Lithium Mod v1.0.12

has anyone gotten this OTA on Verizon yet

without switching your date which my phone won't do

8/5/2010 10:14:02 AM

I've been running Lithium Mod (FRG01B) since it came out which used to be Kangerade (FRF84B) before that

8/5/2010 10:31:56 AM

Finally got around to installing Sapphire 1.0 last night and it's as smooth if not smoother than lithium mod with a few added customizations. Now has lock screen music controls, ability to skip tracks using the volume rocker and built-in cpu throttling if you don't want to use SetCPU.

8/5/2010 10:46:21 AM

what free backup apps do you any of you use?


I am going to do this manual install but I want to back up my droid first.

[Edited on August 5, 2010 at 10:50 AM. Reason : trying to back up the OS]

8/5/2010 10:46:41 AM

Titanium Backup is pretty good but not free

8/5/2010 10:52:36 AM

^ Isn't titanium only available for root users? Not sure what's available for non-root users. The update doesn't wipe your device so you should be fine just upgrading. Apps, contacts and some system settings are backed up to google. So the only other things not backed up are app specific settings, sound settings, messages, etc. SMS Backup & Restore is a good app to backup messages.

MyBackup- free for 30 days. $4.99 after.

To truly backup everything you have to be rooted with custom recovery.

8/5/2010 10:53:24 AM

ok thx

just did the manual installation from: http://www.droid-life.com/2010/08/03/manual-android-2-2-update-for-motorola-droid/

worked like a charm

How do you install files with an .apk extension on your droid? I am trying to install the adobe flash player update in the link above.

8/5/2010 11:42:44 AM

Download Astro File Manager and make sure that Allow Unknown Sources is checked under Applications in the Settings Menu. Find the file in astro, select it and choose Open App Manager. You should get an option to install

8/5/2010 11:47:48 AM

Titanium Backup is free. For 3.99 you can unlock "Donation Mode" which is faster and eliminates ads and such.

does it have the secondary action buttons? i love them on cyanogen

and i have been missing rocker skips since my blackberry

8/5/2010 1:02:24 PM

Is anyone with a DX getting strange behavior once they've used the one-click root?

Sometimes my phone seems to freeze, and I think I've missed two calls now because the "answer" button doesn't actually answer the phone. Wondering if they are connected...

If you hold down the volume rocker with the screen off it'll skip tracks. There's an issue to where it'll just keep skipping and you have to keep hitting it to stop. On the previous version, holding down would skip tracks and then decrease the volume some so it seems like they got rid of one problem and caused another. lol

"DROIDX Froyo Update Delayed To September? On 08.05.10, In News, by Kellex Droid X users, please take a deep breath before you read this. And let me just say that “early September” is not that much different than “late August” when we’re talking about Froyo updates. Why am I prefacing this? Because the Motorola forums manager just dropped some interesting news on the DX community… Some Droid X users are experiencing an issue using Exchange 2003 email. Though the email is arriving on the Droid X, no notifications are appearing. A fix for this will be included in the upgrade to Android 2.2 scheduled for deployment by early September. He was responding to the growing list of people having issues with Exchange support on their device and managed to slip in a surprise timeline for Froyo. September…not August. Maybe Android 2.2 and Blur aren’t playing nice? And maybe this is the same reason that we still don’t have an official date for the Droid 2? Thoughts anyone?"

Anyone know how Best Buy handles phone returns? Pretty sure I'm going to be taking my DX back soon.

verizon should let you swap it for another phone no questions asked, and may let you return it. no idea about best buys involvement.

"For those of you who have been holding back from manually installing Froyo aka Android 2.2 on your Motorola Droid, you may want to rethink your game plan. For those of you that have, go ahead and give yourself a pat on the back even if you’ve been experiencing issues. And I know many of you have. The latest concerning Verizon’s rollout of Android 2.2 to the Motorola Droid has it getting delayed indefinitely because of problems with Adobe’s Flash. Apparently there is a glitch that they are trying to fix until they release the update to the masses. That’s the bad news. The good news is that you can install Froyo on your phone right now and not have to worry about the OTA rollout. So, if you are completely over waiting for Verizon to get their act together, you can go ahead and do that. Otherwise, you could be in for some waiting. Or, you could just go ahead and pick up the Motorola Droid 2 which has essentially been confirmed for release next Thursday on August 12th. That of course is subject to change especially considering this turn of events, but it’s very likely. If you want to install Froyo manually, you can head here. If you want to get Flash, you can head right here."

8/6/2010 9:43:25 PM

question....

when i see people say "your motorola droid" does that literally mean the regular droid or does it mean droid and droid x/incredible/etc

8/6/2010 10:14:34 PM

Motorola Droid = Motorola Droid. lol
Droid = Motorola Droid
DINC, Droid Incredible, Incredible = HTC Incredible
X, DX, Droid X = Motorola Droid X

8/6/2010 10:19:24 PM

ok thats what i thought


i just wasn't sure if droid = anything android but motorola brand or so

8/6/2010 10:20:19 PM

is batt life under froyo worse for anyone else with a droid?

8/6/2010 10:58:23 PM

Mine has improved a lot with the Froyo roms I've used. Seems like the battery management while in standby is a lot better.

8/6/2010 11:12:42 PM

i really dont want to mess with code at all, i actually hate it, im so much of a visual person

anyway, would anyone be willing to pull all the art, bars, icons, etc...from their droid so I can make a full theme. if you know how to rip it off you'll be able to put it back in the apk and push it to the phone i'm assuming.

8/6/2010 11:29:51 PM

Rumored HTC worldphone for Verizon to be released Q1 2011. Maybe by the time it's released, it'll have LTE support
