Want to see Android 2.2 in action on the Droid X? Then check out the video below of someone who appears to have snagged a test build of the custom Blur Froyo and loaded it onto his device for our viewing pleasure. Actually, he’s pretty confused as to how this could have been loaded, so maybe he was another lucky eBay user?
Still no official date for the DX update, and the rumor for this Friday is starting to seem less and less likely. In our opinion, we’ll see the launch of the Droid 2 with 2.2 before we see it on the DX. How else are they going to sell it to users? Can’t you see it now? “Buy the D2! The first device to launch with Android 2.2!”

I hope this application could also be played in HTC Sense one of these days.

I definitely want to see the benchmarks on this built. My guess is that, it was a mistake by Moto when they shipped it.
I highly doubt Verizon isn't prepared to push 2.2 to the DX, but it makes very little business sense to do so.

The window will be blank until you run an app that requests root access. Install wifi tether from the market and run it. Click allow in the dialog, stop tethering, click allow, then open the superuser app. Wifi tether will then be listed there. The superuser app is simply a last of applications you’ve allowed root access to.
it's awesome, its made me realize how annoying flash ads are. They are already annoying on desktops but since they only cover a corner of your screen and they can be blocked with browser add-ons, they are not such a big deal
I'm sure the casual consumer will look at this scenario and flood Verizon with orders for the D2 so they don't have to wait to get their hands on a Droid or Froyo..
we’re looking forward to seeing it officially offered for the Droid X, hopefully sooner rather than later.
Great but I don't think they want to slow down that kind of momentum just yet by holding back Froyo for any of their Android devices.
Just got my Android update last night from Verizon on Droid X… but it wasnt Android 2.2… it was 2.3!!!! Worth the wait 🙂

i have a droid x and i want a launcher like the nexus one has or the droid 1 with froyo launcher. im tired of the arrow in the bubble honestly and its slow sometimes unlike the nexus one's launcher
Has anyone else had major problems with their Droid X stalling when you wake it up from sleep? I'm on a waiting list where I bought it (2 weeks and going) for a replacement because mine is so horribly slow, and god only knows when they'll get more in. I am always having to reset it (put it to sleep and then wake it up again) to de-lag it when I'm using it. Just curious if the community here has run into it and found an easy fix for it. I've disabled just about everything I can think of on the phone and it's still doing it. =( Very disappointing because it's my first experience with an Android phone.
And just to help out if anyone has suggestions – I have tried re-seating the battery, doing a full reset on the phone, and I'm actively using ATK to shut off apps still running.
it happens to me once in a while, especially when i reboot. just make sure you dont have too many widgets/apps that use internet constantly (like weather apps or other kinds of widgets that take up space).
get rid of ATK. it conflicts with the X's built-in task killer. go into running services and kill off any apps that are hogging memory. also set social networking sync to a higher amount of time, like 1 hour.
Just ordered my DX, can't wait. Hopefully it will ship with 2.2, if not I can wait.
the guy in the video, smackin his lips or whatever, makes me want to punch myself in the face
Getting my DX Wed. I'll be sure and let you guys know if it's rockin' 2.2… needless to say I doubt it will be.
Time for a happy dance!
First you punks! 😛
not me just waiting for my x to get here lol…
haha lucky! 😛
I'll be troll and say that your new DX is already outdated and you havent even got it yet! haha

You were ever so wrong. And today was looking like such a good day for you! 😛 lol

Is it legal for Mods to be first?
It better be. Mods like to have fun too.

Super User privileges! 🙂 lol
I need a favor tim. You said once before you had a swype that didn't have to be registered or anything. My sister got a droid one for like 30 bucks yesterday(no contract)…but she needs swype and they have closed beta again….could you email it to me at el77camino@yahoo.com not my gmail i know but in case some sites fish for emails here I won't have my phone saying droid 45 times a minute.

Wow you are quick. Thanks man this community rocks.
That's what she said 🙁 lol

That is just not fair!! I'm telling my mommy.
I'm still trying to figure out why it says “Android Version” instead of “Firmware Version”.
You guys really seem to have yet to figure out an edit to the build.prop will make the system info show anything you want.
I definitely want to see the benchmarks on this build. My guess is that it was a mistake by moto when they shipped it.
Anyone else getting an X in the next couple days? Let us know if you have 2.2!
Knowing that Froyo is just around the corner for the DX I am not so sure that Verizon is holding back on it just to sell a butt load of D2's. Both phones will appeal to different consumers. The very fact that
Verizon will launch the D2 within a few short weeks of the DX is proof enough that they (Verizon) aren't worried about the phones competing. I think Verizon has swung a lot of opinions out there positively towards the network and their devices and I'm sure a lot of new Verizon customers are the results. I don't think they want to slow down that kind of momentum just yet by holding back Froyo for any of their Android devices. k
Keep the customers happy and they will stay long long time.
any updates on the froyo update for the moto droid?
You're absolutely right about the DX getting Froyo. I highly doubt Verizon *isn't* prepared to push 2.2 to the DX, but it makes very little business sense to do so. I thought about this a couple of weeks ago when the “early August” rumors came out for the DX/Froyo update. It just wouldn't make sense for them to do it before the Droid 2 was released, seeing as the DX is a more powerful phone with arguably better features (depending on your physical keyboard preference I suppose). They've created demand for the new Android phones by selling out of the DX when they said they'd be prepared. “Oh wow! They said they'd be prepared and they still sold out, this is a must-have item I guess!” I'm sure the casual consumer will look at this scenario and flood Verizon with orders for the D2 so they don't have to wait to get their hands on a Droid or Froyo. Whether this is intentional or not (10 to 1 it IS), it's pretty brilliant and should work out well for Verizon/Moto/Google.
It may increase the D2 sales, but it will also piss a lot of people off.Why appear like you think your customers are idiots and don't see what you are doing.I wonder if they have a set number of D2's to sell before releasing Froyo to DX or a certain amount of time to pass.
He needs to do Quadrant benchmarks for us.
Keep in mind that this seems to be an early dev build but he said “Full Quadrant Benchmark came out at 854.”
at this rate yes it will be the first device being the droid1 isnt getting it today or this week
huh …….have you not been reading droid life?
today…marks the day of the FROYO…..hopefully….
now this is some news… first?
