So I rooted using easyroot. Installed rom manager. Flashed cyanogenmod on and setcpu. My phone has gradually gotten slower and slower. I've always wiped data and cache between flashes. I'm using chevyno1s low voltage 1.25 kernel. I was originally using bekit 1ghz. It runs nice after a new rom but contrary to what I read the longer a rom is on my phone the more broken it gets. Help me out. If you need more info let me know.

Bump. Sorry.
Delete this. I solved it. Taskiller sucks. Made my Droid perform like it was a Nokia.

Just purchase my phone about two weeks ago, I been noticing that the battery runs out quick is there a rom you guys advise I should get to work out my battery problem? if so can you give me a link to it? and yes I have use the "search" tool but I would like some input from people actually using the roms and what they think.
Are you rooted? Are you using a task killer? Have you checked in settings to see what's using your battery? Mine always showed the screen using the most, set to auto.

If you open up the app menu, and go to the "Help Centre" it gives tips on how to "Train the battery". Haven't tried them yet, but seems to be a logical solution, so hope it helps even jus' a bit innit.
Thank you guys for the response I rooted my phone and installed a custom room its working great and battery life is better

Just to add some information to the thread. If you use a task killer, be careful not to use a kill all function. The task killer will kill processes only to have Android start them again, leading to an endless loop of restarts, which will drain your battery and adversely effect performance.
I get excellent battery life using Cyanogenmod or Sapphire, where I'm at right now.

Thanks for the info Bateluer, by the way im using SimpleROM v1.0 on my droid haven't had any problems with it.
Hey, last night I tackled the process of rooting my Milestone and installing the Telus fast and light ROM (??). I thought I read that part of the package it overclocks the CPU...is there a way to tell? I don't notice the device being noticably faster? In fact, it kinda feels slower.
Is there anything I can do to check or to speed it up more? I know when I did OS updates on my old Blackberry Storm 2 the OS needed some time to settle in. Is that the case for these too??
You do need to let it settle in for a little bit, but to get it really fast, download SetCPU from here at XDA and see how fast you can overclock it. If it doesn't go past 800 MHz, install one of jdLfg's kernels and overclock it to 900 MHz as the minimum in SetCPU and 1200 MHz as the max.

Ok, I downloaded the file. How do I install it? do I just put the .zip file on SD card somewhere and install from the boot loader or something??
If you downloadedn from the market it should just install and be available in your app drawer. Be suren and got to the menu and have it detect your device.

i go a used D3 yesterday. a factory wipe was done, and it was already rooted for me. i rerooted it because i did not see superuser. i am running adw witch does run better then stock launcher but the phone over all is really laggy, kinda like my droidx on froyo was...
this is why i wish i had an SBF for 959, aside from a factory reset again, is there anything in i can do to try and make this run better? im wondering if it is slow because of something the previous user did? and the camera takes AT LEAST 6-7 seconds to load up EVERY time, and it takes for ever to get into focus sometimes...i hear great things about this phone, but so far im not inpressed at all..
thx all
The camera does open very slow. The phone shouldn't be lagging though. Only problem I ever had was with stock launcher. Don't know why this is happening to you.

Check your apps, might have a strange one.
Sounds like something is chewing up your CPU, restart phone and then do some tests and benchmarks, see if your getting average Droid 3 performance. This phone is faster then Tegra phones in most cases including games.
when we get some roms, kernel tweaks and cm7 then this thing will fly.

By the time we get CM it will be CM8.

I ended up going through almost every app i had and checking the refresh intervals to make sure it was limited. also i would limit the accounts you have synced and if you can use the 3rd party apps so you can get better control over how it behaves vs. letting motorola settings take over.
I've had mine for about 24 hours and it doesnt lag processor wise, of course without 4G some of the higher quality data transfer will be slower.

I'm running cm7 rc1, I've tried some ultra low, low, and medium voltage kernels from both cor and chevy but haven't found a custom kernal that will run stable. I've also tried the supercharger script, underclocking with setcpu, and using autokiller, but I can not, no matter what I try, keep my phone out of a low memory state and battery life that will last me longer than 5 and if I'm really lucky 8 hours. I'm not using any widgets, I keep wifi, 3g, and gps off most of the time, and have 1/3 of the apps I had on my eris loaded on the phone, all on the sd card. I've tried to recal the batt. but I think the process must be diff for the driod and haven't found a decent guide. Could anyone point me to a decent guied, good tools for saving batt life, and possibly a cashe to cashe script or simular for the droid? I would really appreciate it, thanks so much in advance.

Well, if anyone else has the same issue, I fixed my issues by partitioning my SD card with a swap partition and utilizing swapper 2 to use it. I turned off compucashe, and used the setting in autokiller to speed up r/w speeds on the SD card. I also set autokiller to optimal. I found Chevy's lv .125-.900 works well, I uninstalled setcpu, and set my Max speed @ .600, my min. @ .125 and I'm using the ondemand, scheduler because smartass and interactive seemed to be laggy. the phone runs snappy but battery life still leaves much to be desired, still experimenting with it.

The swap is working, I'm not having mem issues, if I can figure out how to keep my phone from booting while charging and/or how to get it to boot with out the batt so I can recal I think my problems would be solved

After 6 months of using a single rom ics333, now my phone has become a bit laggy
Can anyone tell me to make it as fast as before?

Did you already tried to wipe cache and dalvik in CWM?
And or or to reflash the ROM just on top? Perhaps with a format system. But be careful all apps on systems will be removed by format systems.
I had the same issue!
I have tested some things but the solution was one App.
I have installed a better Task Manager (example SystemPanel Lite) with CPU and process Grafics.
Started the App and have done some thinks with my Smartphone. If the phone start lagging I changed my window to the SystemPanel and looked at the running processes.
I made this step 5-6 times and I saw ever the same App which made a big CPU load. I have deleted the App with the high CPU load and never had the lag again.
Kind regards dekker
Hehe i was also doing same and now phone is better
