Motorola Droid News

Hello all,

I have been looking high & low for something ether in an app or custom script to allow for different alerts for different things ie; when Email comes in it one alert, when a txt msg come threw it a different alert, and so on and so on. To me this is something that is missing at the core of android, I mean WM6.1 can do this why can I.

Thank you in advance for your help

I just did a manual update to FRG22D. How to manually install the latest FRG22D firmware for Droid to access Flash Player 10.1 – Android and Me
In order to get the Flash Player from the marketplace to run properly, I had to uninstall the version I had installed manually and then reinstall from the marketplace. It all runs great!:)

Hello everyone,

I’m new to the forum and thought I’d start off by posting something. I do need a few answers though and feel confident that the droid forums can help me. First, I have recently rooted my Moto droid using Universal Androot. I was Stock 2.2 with the FRG01B build. Now that I have rooted my phone in this manner I wanted to know, well, whats next? I have Setcpu downloaded and ROMmanager as well. I Flashed clockworkmod recovery and downloaded the latest stable Cyanogen mod but when it booted into recovery I got the normal android recovery screen, which I had to access by hitting the volume up and camera key.

So to simplify things. 1. What is the correct method of installing a rom after rooting using universal Androot, and 2. What did I do wrong when downloading cyanogen mod?

Thank you for all your patience and I hope this thread will help anyone else who is in my position.

I have had advanced task killer on my phone forever. I play a game called Raging Thunder online with my phone alot. The game freezes up often. I use the task killer to end it, otherwise, when I try to start it again, I get a blank screen or the frozen still frame it last displayed.
After seeing so many members tell others it was not needed, I decided to un-install it. I have the new 2.2 and was still having it freeze occasionally so I thought I’d try it without the task killer on the phone. (I’m running my droid 1 stock BTW)
So the first time the darn game freezes, I go to start it again, blank screen. :icon_evil:
I look around for another way to end it without re-booting the phone. I go to settings, applications, running services and I don’t see it there. I proceed to click on some things I see there but I don’t kill anything cause the couple things I click on warn of bad things happening with services I do recognize, like weather etc…Then all of a sudden my phone is frozen; had to do a battery pull. I think that’s only the 2nd time I ever been forced to do that in 9 months of ownership.
Please enlighten me about another method that’s equally as fast as clicking the old TK & ending the program, then promptly re-starting it to play again.
I’m waiting for the answer that works. If I don’t get an answer that works for me, I’m re-installing the task killer.

Ok Ive been waiting ever since July to get Froyo on my Moto Droid and now it has reached the 18th which is the date that: engadget, phandroid, android news, and droid forums said it should be wrapped up by and I havent gotten it yet.

Question #1: I got 2.1 at 12:01 at night, is there a specific time people are recieving this OTA?

Question #2: Is there a possibility I may be/ have been skipped?

Question #3: If I update manually will I still get the OTA?

Question #4: If I ever do get Froyo ( doubt it ) and I got the stuck on motorola boot sign is there a way anyone can help me into nuzzeling Verizon out of a Moto Droid 2?

Question #5: Will the OTA (if i ever get it) drain my battery significantly?

Question #6: Will there be an overclocking app with the OTA ?

Question #7: Ive been practically obsessed with this update, watching the google press C’s on youtube over and over, is it worth all this fuss?

Thanks to anyone who can help me out, Ive been so confused with all this controversy ever since VZW and Moto have been releasing dates that their not falling through with.:motdroidvert: Droid Forever:motdroidhoriz: Im an extremely dedicated to Googles Android and Verizon and Motorola, andwilll certainly appreciate any help anyone can offer, God Bless.:greendroid:

How’s it going guys I just picked up the Motorola Droid last weekend and I love it; however I have a few questions about the Android 2.2 and flash. First of all has the Android 2.2 feature come out yet and how would you even know where to get it? Also, what all do you need to do to enable Flash on your phone? Does that have to do with that Froyo program I have been hearing about? If someone could explain this to me and how to get it on my phone I would really appreciate it. Thanks a lot everyone!

This is for my wife….I was wondering if some one could take the launcher from Jrummy’s Kangerade or Lithium Mod PINK theme and color it the same color as the Lithium Mod purple Passion…she just switched 2 days ago to Lithium Mod : Purple passion but she misses the little android as her launcher button….Thanks in advance!

sorry im new to this whole Android OS and im still learning it but is there new update? i went to setting and system and etc. and they said i have the most recent firmware or w.e. but people are posting about the 2.2… am i just lost ? lol

I was trying to say some users are trying to convince for moto/verizon to push android 3.0 os for the original verizon droid. Here is the link below that indicate some users dont want to root their phones.
