Just felt I should share this with everyone since I don't think a lot of people know about it yet.I know I never heard of it until the other day.
Trying to.get.an idea of what others think.
I guess there has been some controversy between Blackdroid (UltimateDroid) and the CyanogenMod team over the likeness of Ultimate Droid to CyanogenMod 7. They are almost identical, however, Ultimate Droid offers far more customization and every bit as snappy. As most of you know, the CM7 Final was released nearly 24 hours ago. I obviously downloaded and flashed it immediately to check it out. Honestly, there just wasn't anything special enough to keep it, I immediately restored my UD backup.
I certainly don't want to get in the middle of any beef between developers, after all these are both phenomenal ROMs.I just know I am always looking to try new ROMs and other methods of tweakness and hope others would speak up...
Obviously, I take no credit for anything here, just sharing info...

Seems like if you read the forums enough life goes in circles, doesn't it?
Tapatalk Pro Sig. Yep, boring.
Just more customizable. It allows you to easily change things like themes, boot animations/sound, and system font (which might be my favorite feature). That, or the ability to add a custom message (or name/nickname) to the lockscreen.
some will prefer CM still and certainly nothing wrong with that.

Tried his work on my d1. Nothing really special. Stopped using his stuff after that whole thing happened.
People are still talking about things that went down a year ago? Wow.
UD Rom is the best hands down.
Edit: I could care less about the year old beef...bunch of whining babies. I'd steal your lunch on the playground if I could.
UD is much more stable then CM. Faster, smoother and far superior battery life. Who cares about the stale drama between the 2 open source deVs. Its all about the final product and UD takes the cake.

Just out of curiosity, are all the additions aesthetic, or are there any performance enhancements over CM7? Like the power control widgets or the lockscreen gestures and things like that.
Wow.... I think this is a record for the longest running UD thread.
For the record, I can't stand aosp roms but would choose UD over cm any day. Especially with cm7. I think cm7 took a step back with removing their custom options and adding the theme app. The only "gimik" they have on cm7 is that its Ginger Bread. Other then that, nothing stands out. The last "good" cm release was cm6 rc3, hands down. And UD is pretty consistent with their releases.
Found my problem. It was that the webpage was set to mobile instead of full size. Once I clicked on the bottom I was able to download.
Is there any way to increase the in call volume on the Bionic using the default rom rooted? I love the phone but have been having trouble hearing people on the thing... Which is a problem since, at the core, it is a phone after all...

I've just gotten off the phone with a second-level tech at Verizon who said that variable call volume will be addressed in the next Bionic software update. He also said that it's currently in beta, and will drop Mid-November.
That's really great news. Hopefully it fully fixes the problem.
Hey guys!
I recently began to use Roms which is based on stock again, and one of the feautures i miss the most from cm7/miui is the ability to force-close an app with a long press on the back key.
Does anyone know of a MOD or something that can enable this feature on stock roms?
Or can point me in the right direction or something?
Would be awesome to have it on stock roms!!

FC appears when an app is stucked, at least this is happening to me. If I keep pressed back button, it will display a dialog.

On stock roms you can view the running programs through the inbuilt program monitor and close them .

Yes, but this isn't the same, nor as easy.
I'd hope for this feature too, as I'm about to go from a Droid 2 with CM7 to a Droid 4 ... root will give me most of the things I want, except this.
In galaxy s2 you can use jk deluxe settings (search it) to use this function on stock (need root) rom
Settings>Developer options
First activate them at the top, then head to the bottom of the list, the entry furthest down is the one you want.
This should work for any ROM with dev options available, which frankly I think is everyone...

Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Don't worry I'm not asking "Which rom is the best". After all thats an insult to developers and its a matter of preference anyway. I'm asking which one meets my needs or most of them anyway. I'm looking for a rom with the following:
*No annoying "android is upgrading" on every boot
*All animations enabled
*wifi tethering unlocked
*ability to disable lte and use hspa+/Edge only
Other things that would be nice but not as important:
*bloatware removed (I can do this with TB anyway if rooted)
*ASOP notification bar theme, no more gb looking icons (probably can do this with uot kitchen dunno)
*"visual voicemail" button removed from dialer Google voice button instead? (Is this possible? If anything just linking gvoice to it would work)
*Sense 4 launcher or just a modified 3.6 launcher with Widgets in the app drawer (I don't think it exists but I know I could just as well use apex or nova but I love the sense Widgets)
*removed recent apps from notification area (whats the point? I can just hold home anyway)
*configurable quick settings
Also ROM has to work on the HTC vivid on at&t. Quick question too does permaroot mean permanent forever? Like there's no way back? Also I noticed the vivid tools and the rooting ics guide which one should I use? And lastly do I need to achieve s-off or is rooting enough? I apologize for all the questions but I came from the captivate and its stock with an unlocked bootloader and almost designed for rooting and custom roms
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
So you would defenitely want either PGs rum float or (just Google: androidninjas)
Or wild child's from. Google wcxxperia...
As for permroot , it means it is permanent you want loose root on reboot or power downs. But not permanent as in never go back. There are a hand full of ways to go back...
Try using the super guide first. I think In the guide he puts a link to his toolkit. But since you aren't really familiar with this use the super guide. It goes step by step.
Hope this helped.

How about you read all of the ROM's threads, test each one out and see which one you like.
I've been reading up on them but its a bit confusing ATM.
you can't go wrong with the Virtuous Inquisition rom or the wajee ones, search the development thread, there are like 5 new roms.
Yeah gotta admit with the great one x reviews and the gs3 launch I was starting to regret getting this phone but seeing the recent surge in development makes me feel more confident. I originally didn't plan on rooting and installing a custom rom but I kept my captivate stock for all of 2 weeks and its killing me how limited I am to customizing plus I loved using my cappys wifi tether with my flyer and lte is eating my batteries and killing my phone when using Pandora over Bluetooth! If anything I may just root soon so I can tweak the phone
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
Sounds like either the virtuous or Wajee's from would be a good choice for you. They are ports of sensation rooms so all three current ones have hspa/edge connectivity only from what I've seen. They are very slick and quick with running either the stock ics launcher (wajee's unsensed) or apex (virtuous). There might be a few bugs still being worked out but those are the closest to what you seem to require at the moment!

Yeah I was looking at both of those. Does hspa+ aka fake 4G work?

Cool. Only thing is I do love the sense widgets and the lockscreen shortcuts. Guess you can't have it all.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
The unsensed beta has lock screen shortcuts, but no HTC Widgets tho unfortunately. That's a sacrifice for such a nice rom. But with beautiful widget you don't really need the HTC Widgets.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
Yeah I got beautiful Widgets and fancy Widgets actually. Bought fancy Widgets when I got my captivate and beautiful Widgets was on sale for 10 cents during Google's 10 days of 10 cent apps. They do a great job no doubt but one thing they can't do is animations. But they do have an advantage with the ability to link custom weather apps because honestly the sense one is meh.
The unsensed one must of borrowed that from cm. CM7 had the rings lock screen where you could add a third ring and add up to 4 shortcuts with it. What is the aosp ics lock screen like? The way Google made it sound was lock screen shortcuts are built in. Honestly as long as I can access my camera I'm good.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
From what I can tell its pretty much the same lock screen then. Camera/phone/SMS/unlock from that screen.one bonus too is lock screen control for music apps . Rdio/slacker is so much better now

Sounds good I'll give them a try when I get time to sit down with this thing. My flyer took a bit to get it rooted, lots of adb commands etc. Don't think the vivid will be as bad as the flyer doesn't have a GUI to use.

Rooting the phone is quite simple. Even doing the s-off is fairly a easy process when it comes down to it. Follow the guide and you should be fine. If you need help post here or jump on the irc, a lot of smart people hang out there and love helping out.

Wait, they don't have LTE? Why would that be the case, since it is using a Holiday radio? I personally haven't tested it, as I don't live in an LTE area.
Also, Virtuous is using Nova, which I instantly replaced with the stock ICS launcher.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA Premium App
I don't even really care about lte now. Only real use of it is to show off your download speed to your friends. But it eats your battery alive and causes overheating issues and just pointless anyway with a 2 gig data cap. When I went on vacation a coupled weeks ago I went out of lte coverage and battery life was worlds better and I was still getting 12 meg down. 12 meg is what my home internet is so hspa+ is all you really need.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
As far as I've seen the ports don't have late because they are straight ports. These roms don't have lte support built in. You can confirm this by going in the dialer and typing *#*#4636#*#* and under phone information. The option for late isn't available. But like the op said. Its mostly not required while using your phone 90% of the time. It just uses your data a lot faster and doesn't really change much else in your web browsing experience.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
Hey one quick question. I was looking at the Junopeterbear S-off and it looks kind of complicated...wire trick? Do I need to even concern myself with that or is just unlocking the bootloader and obtaining root access enough? ugh... I have to take the phone apart? Man I don't even wanna mess with that. Hopefully they'll have an ADB method or cwm flashable method in the future. I'll just stay away from that!
Edit: yeah sure enough the screw on the panel I need to pull off has a sticker that says "void" on it. I don't want to void my warrenty. Obviously flashing a rom technically does that but only if they can proove it! Might be different if I ever even once made it through a contract without having to swap my phone out for various hardware failures (Captivates speaker broke swapped it out and 3 months later the power button died on the refirb)

According to cruzin_cruising, the Virtuous ROM still has LTE support. I don't really know, since I don't live in an LTE area.
Just wanting to know what you all think. Not too much discussion going on here about them. I've used them all, good experiences. Pro, cons, whatever. I personally like the stock .230 leak. I find the smart actions very nice. Also like the app drawer with the different groups.

Personally, I like the 230 update... plan on updating to 232 soon, but holding off because every time I flash, another one comes out.
I'm not one for flashing nightly roms, but I've been itching to try CM9
Yeah I am a little hesitant about flashing .232. But I think it's good news that these leaks keep showing up.
I used the CM9 from the .2233 leak and wasn't overly impressed. I feel AOKP has more options. But these Moto leaks are just so nice in my taste.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
I prefer AOKP but there are still some issues with it such as static in the Bluetooth. I have 2 phones on me all day at work and the use of a headset is a must. I am on stock .232 with Apex, init.d, and pull down toggles. I have pulled all the bloat and system crap that I don't ever use. There isn't really much at all running in the background. I have pulled some init.d scripts from different roms to speed things up more but not sure which one I'm going to use yet. As soon as AOKP has the BT issue fixed I will be flashing it though.

I stayed on the .232 leak for a couple days, enjoyed the new "Blur" but there were just a couple thing i didn't like. The launcher was alright a little prehistoric compared to today's standards with Apex and especially Nova being so fast and smart. Not being able to change the Lockscreen shortcuts aggravated me but overall the Lockscreen with its separate Camera, Phone, Messaging, Sound settings, and Lock is nice.
But after I flashed CM9 i wont look back. You can customize everything, there is shortcuts to everything, its very responsive, and Cyanogenmod Team really made there stock applications wonderful. You can tell they took there time in making everything run smoothly and look great as well.
So i would go with CM9 especially Axiobeam.06_TARGA. Thats what i flashed and i love it. It includes alot of extras worth having.
I'm currently on 232 and love it. Tried AOKP and CM9, and while they are both solid, they both lack one CRUCIAL feature- Webtop.
Since I am addicted to my Lapdock, I'm staying with Stock ICS until a good rom comes along with a working Webtop.
Not a big deal though since stock ICS is pretty damned-near perfect.
The CM9 u tried, was it the unofficial one ported by dhacker29?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda app-developers app
While I do love the features of CM9, there are small things that I really like about the Bionic ICS, like the text app. I like the black background versus the white of CM9/AOKP. I haven't toyed around with Apex enough to know its potential, but I have no complaints about the stock launcher.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
I've flashed 2231, 2233, and now 232, and all of them have had constantly high CPU and RAM usage, making my phone painfully slow to use. However, on the AOKP ICS-leak builds I had no such slowdowns (despite other bugs), with almost all of the same apps installed.
Has anyone else experienced poor performance with the stock leaks?
Occasionally I notice the slow downs, but have definitely noticed the high cpu usage, even after switching governors.

You really only need to ask the question once in a given forum. But honestly I haven't noticed in on either the ICS leaks I've used.
EDIT:
Actually I just noticed it but I think it is as designed. If my phone is locked, not just screen timed out, and I have an unlock pattern (probably pin too) the status bar does not open. If the screen is timed out the status bar can be pulled open.
Not sure, and don't see why it would be a deal breaker. Currently using AOKP with no problems at all.

Only thing that's turning me away from cm9, AOKP or even liquid is the crt animation is down towards the bottom of the screen and when I scroll from screen to screen is glitchy unlike the ics leak
