Motorola Droid Gets Android Froyo
Filed under Android , Google Droid
Android Froyo is now available for Motorola Droid. I have installed in on my Droid and it is running great. Here is a link to manually install if you have not received a notification over the air. Lastly, I downloaded and installed flash and it works fine. I am excited to test it some more.
What’s New?
- if you hold Home, now the Recently Used program list contains 8 programs instead of 6 and is no longer boxed in
- 5 homescreens instead of 3
- USB tethering is here
- Froyo WiFi tethering is not
- auto-rotation now rotates both clockwise and counter-clockwise
- Flash is not enabled or even present from what I can tell. It is also not available in the Market.Update: you can download and install Flash manually from here
- the app launcher now has faded and darkened top and bottom edges
- changed SMS app
- changed Alarm app
- the dock mode Home button flow is fixed – now hitting Home when the phone is docked goes back to the dock home rather than the home screen
- the dock mode now has a screensaver
