Unofficial Android 2.1 for the Motorola Cliq

E-mail Print PDF

Months ago, Motorola has announced the Android 2.1update for the Cliq planned for the end of June.  However, Motorola has been unable to deliver. 

For those of you Motorola Cliq users who just can't wait for the update, an unofficial update has been leaked and instructions on how to install it can be found here.

I have not tried the update on my own Cliq yet, but according to Engaget, the unofficial version runs decent, but still lacks the pinch-to-zoom function and live wallpapers.  Rumors say that Motorola's plan is to release the official version by the end of August, giving them plenty of time to make the appropriate changes.


For photos and Engaget's full unofficial 2.1 performance review head here.
