[Droid X Android Development] oldmacnut:
Now I'm not the smartest rock in the pile, but I did stay at a holiday in last night.

I read every post last night and today at the Droid Forum. I also read instructions 22 times. Boils down to this......

Lets see if I can be helpfull :D

STOCK PHONE!!!

STOCK PHONE!!!

I even deleted NON Factory apps, anything I got off the market. I rebooted.

I almost did a factory wipe just to be sure, but did not.

So, Im STOCK at this point.

I Rooted with the Easy to use for helmet wearing Monkeys 1 Click Root Program.

I rebooted.

Checked for root. Good.

I followed the directions in the first post

But Used Root Explorer, it was so painless I had to go make an ice cream cone with Rocky Road. :D

BUT!!, I rebooted. Just me. Been having random McBugs with my Dx.

Ok I saw that everything was Puppies and Ice Cream at this point, so I continued.....

I did a battery pull (hey man its faster leave me alone :D )

Then I got into STOCK Recovery.

Picked Apply Update.zip from SD Card, it did it's thing.

All this time Im like making bottles and changing diapers, so I have no idea how long it took, but When I checked it was done and time for a reboot.

Guess what, yeah I rebooted.

Now I dont know about you guys but my phone was running like a Slot 1 P3 with 256 of memory trying to load Vista, took awhile, and that damn phone was so laggy I was cursing myself. 10 minutes later I was in, still laggy but working. I installed Quadrant and tested, see last night I tested with 2.1 and launcher and got 1154, right after boot I got 1289, after launcher pro and a few reboots I got 1400, after ONLY RENAMING City ID, Blockbuster, that new Verizon Nav, Amazon MP3, to .bak instead of deleting I got, hold on ill run it again, hold on man I told it you running........ ok 1600 now.

I installed my usual apps, Quickoffice, SMS Backup/restore, Engadget, XDA App, Places Directory, Ringdroid, and GPS Speedo and last but not least Speedview. Rebooted once again and that was it.

So My install worked, but I was trying to be anal about returning to STOCK even though I was not rooted (was rooted but PDANet would drop connection all the time) I probably should have done a factory wipe prior to rooting and the update, but I also did not do the custom recovery like alot of people did, I was going to wait for a vanilla Froyo, but got to impatient with this mornings release.

Cant I go back to 2.1 now? Not sure have not done any reading up on it, Ill give it a few days of diaper changes, house cleaning, trying to get Windows 7 Ultimate on a P4 1.8 machine with an Asus M266A with 1GB memory just because I love a challenge, but I am sure these guys who are way smarter than my furry bannana eating helmet wearing poo flinging self will of course give us chimps directions to go backwards. I might do this all over again but do a factory wipe, or a powerfull magnet, maybe the microwave........

ITS FROYO FRIDAY!!!!!!!

Sent from My Core Duo Macbook that has no battery cause it exploded and Apple told me to piss off so I am corded. Oh and the space bar is broken and I am to cheap to pay 129.00+ for an entire upper keypad assembly so I have to hit the space hard and twice when i type.
