Hey everyone,
I recently rooted my moto droid and was wondering now that I have done this can I drop 1.5 or any other OS on there that I choose? Also, if that is possible can someone post a link or tell me how to go about doing this. That being said, I was also wondering if there is a way to easily switch between android versions for development.
Thanks for your time and help,
Tommy
Here is a link to droidforums. It has links to most rooted Tom's for Droid.

You can also try other sites like alldroid.org, phandroid. The developers site which is "xda" and "sdx". There are many others so just search around they all have forums for different devices for this information. One of the most helpful I've found for noobs was unlocked.com. give it a try.

Look-up RomManager in the marketplace if you will be moving between versions alot, it handles these changes very well.
As to going to previous versions I can not say for sure. In theory yes but you will ether have to find a pre-made Droid rom or build it yourself.
Thanks!
Thank you both for the replies and information. I will continue my research and see what I can dig up. Hopefully I can find a 1.5 rom as building it myself is a little out of my ability right now.
Yes rom manager would be a good idea forgot to mention it. It works great for switching roms I just have a little problem with mount sdcard in clockworkmod recovery so mine will reboot after entering recovery and rom manager doesn't help some times but it seems to work great for most devices. My problem is I have to reformat sdcard because I came from Eris and I don't want to till I can get a computer to backup info on it.

I am currently working on a ROM and was hoping a Dev or two could help to point my n00bish programming skills in the right direction. It is built off of CyanogenMod RC3 and I am currently trying to get it out for testing.
For all of you who think I shouldn't try to do this, shut up and go away. I want to do this, and it is my choice as to whether or not I do this.
This will be my first ROM, and I need someone to do this with me. So who will help?
If you need to I can send you the zip.
Thank you to those that do help!

What?
You really didn't ask any specific questions. I'm sure you can get some answers, but no one is going to walk you through the process - there is Google Search to find walk-throughs and tutorials.
Be specific as to what you need assistance with.
(Plus... telling others to "shut up and go away" probably won't have people lining up to help...)

I need a bit of help with the manifest, switching out the kernel, and the default IME.

Hello to all,
I recently tried to purchase the Root Explorer in hopes that it would help me remove a couple of files in order to install some themed markets. I am using a debit card and per my bank, they will not approve debit transaction that are over seas (Root Explorer is in the UK). My question is there a US equivalent that I can use. I need access to system/data/app and need to be able to remove Vending.apk. Please do not suggest ADB pushing as I am unable to get this to work to save my life. Any and all help is appreciated. I do not mind paying for it, just need a non-over seas alternative.
Thanks
You can try EStrong File Explorer it is free and when you get installed open it then go to menu>settings>root options check the box then select HiAPK then select mount now back out you shoulb be able to delete what you need to p

the12nv is that the themed market from theimpaler747? If it is try his thread he'll help you. Just a suggestion
And a good suggestion it is...the dark horse theme is KFunk and I followed what he had listed...I think...as for the Great Impaler...his nice neon themes are for HDPI phones and the hero is a MDPI phone (or vice versa)...I am determined to figure this out...damn themed market.....

As you can see by the two above posters...before you ask a question you better make sure you do your part of the hoofing first. Many forget what it was like when they were a newbie...either that or their experience as one was horrible and now it's their turn. I suggest you read the various stickies around the captivate forums to possibly minimize the amount of verbal slapping you shall receive...and check your spelling

Installing new fonts, although it may sound simple, is gonna probably take some serious reading on your part. Get your phone rooted, install and learn how to use ClockworkMod ,then go to the thread below for some yummy new fonts ready for the flashing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801160
well you have to first download a rom you created or someone's rom and it will enable you to check unkown sources. Also there is another way you can do this by downloading super one click by short fuse which alows you to do everything to your phone even root it and alow you to have unknown sources! Hope this helped!!

This is aparently a method to roll back the AHD on ATT to 4.0.4
Says something about using QPST.
I have no experience so im posting this and waiting till someone who understands it more can comment.
Well hopefully our great devs find a root for JB

DON'T FLASH IT!!!
This is most likely the Asian version and WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE!!!.
In case you haven't heard of me, I've been helping a lot around the Atrix 2 community. Then when i bricked it, at&t ran out of Atrix 2s and gave me and Atrix HD instead. Since then, I've been hiding in the shadows so I won't look like a n00b.
I'll take a look at this.
until then...
DON'T FLASH IT!!!
Check out that link I posted.
That looked very helpful. We just need someone with experience to make sure it could/does work.

There is the link just press the white button that says "下载" and download.
DEVS ONLY!!!!!
Started the download but its crawling along even on 20mbps connection.
Im no Deve though. Still the link I posted is a downgrade for US ATT phones!
IF that really works then we are saved even if JB isnt rooted ever!
So check it out as well. It uses QPST to fix bricked phones from the translated english I could make out.
i tried it
I tried no brick but it wouldnt come out of fastboot. Flashed back to 4.1.1 because it wouldn't let me flash to ICS either.
What method did you try.
The root or the rollback?
IDK anything yet,
10 minutes remaining.
I cant find download link

In China they sell them with unlocked bootloaders out of the box, don't even have to unlock them lol
So what's that mean for us Matt? While you LOL we wait anxiously for any hope of root.
Kinda figures the chinese hackers would be better than us
Since no one brought this up. This is form the chinese forum specificaly for ATT phones and rolling back.
We have to be able to get something from this. Here is the translated forum post and thread link.
http://bbs.gfan.com/android-5675929-1-1.html
Thread Title Translates into "[Experience] 4.1 downgrade to 4 and then root then OTA upgrade to 4.1 and then delete the at&t official app"
From the forums found this address http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.5.0.40.sdQ42d&id=15839118382 Taobao bought mb886
Hand of machine comparison simple, no packaging box, no headset, no HDMI line (does not clearly full of should is what sample), only machine, and line and charger, Hou cover see with somewhat rough, words see does not Qing (just carefully see has see, original is has layer film, tore has lot has), however I is doesn't matter, 1500 Yuan, buy this machine of principles originally is enough on line, on figure a CrystalTalk.
Hand machine is 4.1.1 Chinese, no locked bootloader, you have root, Forum of Chinese-speaking fees, useful original and I try not to toss the habit
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/dinara/list.php
4.1.1 under firmware, installed the pre-release driver according to RSD brush machine for tutorials in the forums.
All the best, starting with a long time feels good, but too many app at&t too tired, and would also like to buy things with market unlocker (because they do the Internet for many years, never trusting any app store in the country, even before the official market is entering into the definition, 4 well after some), there is the root idea.
Forums and XDA-pass, and found that we cannot root, downgrading is dangerous, but don't see a post saying who try to downgrade the bricks.
Worked, we said that it would lose IMEI, use QPST out IMEI spare.
Then download from the above address 7.7.1Q-144_MB886_MR1-22_SIGNED_CFC.xml.zip (also need to modify the XML file, remove the GetVar two lines),
After the wipe (can be a feeling, first wipe wipe cache has been contained), RSD flush, when brush is also very worried about bricks, but smoothly brushed inside, after the restart, settings, found that IMEI in, not lose it? Also use QPST and search a bit, 550.
Opens the developer options the first use debug and unknown sources of security, from: http://Forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1940594 motofail2go_ Windows.zip, implementation extracted run.bat, follow the prompts to root successfully, and then go to play store updated superuser, updated into superuser update Su
And then go to play Voodoo store installed OTA rootkeeper, or you can download from its official, http://DL.project-Voodoo.org/apps/, after install, backup root, and then UN-root, and then restore against each, several times, confirm no problem.
Enter the settings of the system update, start the download update package, download fast, faster than play app store synchronization, waited until all the app is installed, system update again to begin the update the update succeeds, IMEI (wrong ... ... ), But discovered that 4.0.4 with real racing2 does not know how ... ...
Deletion of official procedures,
AABSync.apk
All begin with ATT. APK
CityID.apk
CodeScanner.apk
DigitalLocker.apk
Facebook.apk (Kung Fu network can not be used)
FamilyMap.apk
Kindle.apk (K4 and KT)
myATT.apk

UVerse.apk
YelloPage.apk
YPCom.apk
And corresponds to the odex files, some of these files in/system/app, in/system/vendor/app, by deleting out wipe the cache (note that only wipe cache)
Delete method is to use ES File Manager manually to a directory with the TF card, XDA people recommend Titanium Backup, I haven't tried, there are free versions of both of these play store.
Circles I had, the small circle to the right of the display can be a battery, did not find major problems currently in use, there is less of an issue People are following a fall in a YP, a collapse at app, XDA people to machine YP-free version, I didn't pay attention to the MB886 is there, anyway, is the ~
Final column is used to document mentioned above some of the app was downloaded directly from the play store

Finally finally, I'm not sure whether all of the lock-free MB886 can do, even not all buy from Taobao shop can do so well.
