Looked at the framework-res.apk to see if it's not a fake.

Well, the unlock screen looks like the android 2.0 one and not like 2.1. Just look at jog_dial_bg.png. Kinda strange ...

On androidiani.com the Admin analized the file and he said that the build has for date the 11/11/2009.
Is it possible that Motorola has got the update tons of weeks before his appereance? In November even the DROID wasn't already out...

this is our problem :) there is no milestone boot.img because you need root permissions to make one.

you would do nothing but select SETTING>ABOUT PHONE>AUTO SYSTEM CHECK.
then you just need to wait .. this will solute the camera problem.

can you share the three apps, facebook, car mode and dock please. Thanks

The facebook app is actually in the Market - Facebook for Android

The Dock is already installed on milestones, you just need an app called DockRunner to get it to run on your milestone without the dock - Iis also in the Market.

The CarDock.apk has been posted here http://android.modac...p...t&p=1149721   and I found you might need to be attached to USB for it to work.

I don't think the system dump is fake, but I do think its just from a 2.0 Milestone.  However, I was thinking it may still be useful to experiment with :)

As to the Camera Bug - It hasn't been solved by an update yet, it's just in a "good" cycle. It apparently goes off every 24.5 days from what I've read on the Droid forums.

Maybe a 2.0 dump, but why can we read 2.1 in build.prop ----> A guy try to make us believe he made a dump of a 2.1 Milestone ---> Fake

I don't think it's fake because:

- It has the same build date as the Nextus dump (nov.2009)
- Why the trouble of faking a build but then referring to a north american UMTS version ( brand: MOTO-NA , device sholes-umts)  instead of a known version of the milestone

Did you read my reply when I say the lock screen is the SAME than the 2.0 one ? :) Just take a look in framework-res.apk and you will see.

So, two solutions :
- it's a fake
- 2.1 on Milestone looks like 2.0 (lock screen for example)

Just asked to romain guy (well known android staff member) and he told me that the old 2.0 lock screen doesn't exist at all.

Excuse me, it's french

[22:29] <romainguy_> la demi roulette n'existe plus
[22:29] <akex> je me disais
[22:29] <akex> et je suppose qu'il n'y a pas moyen que vous l'ayez laissé dans le framework-res.apk
[22:29] <romainguy_> non

romainguy_ : the half circle is not used anymore
akex : i thought so
akex : and i guess you didn't left the old lock screen graphics in framework-res.apk ?
romainguy_ : no

Anyway Motorola Europe informed on Facebook that 2.0.1 is on its way.
