I looked through some threads here and there but, there's nothing to specific, just suggestions so I thought I would make a thread
What's the best ROM to run on a Motorola Droid on Android 2.2.1 build FRG83D in your opinion?
I am a diehard bugless beast user. I would suggest you do what I did and try out multiple ROMS as you may have a completely different opinion than I.
CM 6.1.2, UD 2.5.0 & Project Elite 4.2 are all very solid builds of FRG83D with each having it's own unique features.
If I had to choose just 1 then I would say CM, as that's what I'm running now.
CyanogenMod 6.1.2

Hey guys!
I have you, an official version of Motoblur w/Android 4.0.4 (my creation!)
Just to play it safe, I really want to avoid everything I am saying below:
1. DO NOT argue or discuss the liability or credibility of this rom.
The DROID 3's current version is [Advanced Beta #1 -- 6.9.888] and the DROID BIONIC is on [Beta #2 -- 2.4.742].
XT860 Users: http://bit.ly/IB1Xeb
XT862 Users: http://bit.ly/HPcamq
NOTE: If coming from ANY PREVIOUS RELEASE, A FULL WIPE IS REQUIRED!
Format your system, format your data, wipe cache and wipe dalvik-cache!
KEEP IN MIND: The first boot will take about 2 or 3 minutes. It will speed up more. Also note that the boot animation is considerably slow but it will progressively speed up while it boots. You will know it boots up when your capacitive lights come on.
What doesn't work:
Video Recording on the camera
Panorama Mode on the camera
HW Codecs aren't working
__________________________________________________ ________________
Changelog for Advanced Beta #1:
1. Updated icon set for most apps from DROID RAZR ICS Leak
2. Some other things added from Razr ICS Leak (won't be noticed probably)
3. Physical Keyboard fix
4. GOOGLE APPS ARE INCLUDED: DO NOT FLASH GOOGLE APPS
5. XT860 Data fix
6. Updated AOKP Base
7. Rotation issues should be fixed
8. Other small bug fixes
9. Added Motoblur ICS Launcher (from DROID RAZR ICS Leak)
10. Added Google Play Store version 3.5.15 (will update to .16)
11. Added Volume+ v1.9 beta
12. Added Root Explorer
13. More Launcher choices (Apex, 2 RAZR ICS Launchers, Launcher2)

Hello,
Some of you may now know me or am familiar with my existence with XDA, as I posted the links to both 5.7.902 and 5.7.905 OTA updates.
Well, now that you have a little "refresh" (I can't think of the better word), I'd like to ask a favor from you.
Over the past few months, I have been hard at work some to little help from developers.
If you have seen this post, http://bit.ly/won9Fr, you can look at the pictures and see what I am trying to do. I had a different plan, but it wouldn't work out.
I have been working really hard to get the rom to work. I've been dealing with booting problems, setup problems, etc... and have finally gotten to a home screen with FC's that won't bother us too much.
So now I get to my question. I believe I already have one person in a test group, and I would like to know if anybody would be helpful enough to try out my rom for about a day or 2.
You have to look at the pictures above to see what im trying to do in making a slightly different rom than Hashcode's stock ICS.
I would really appreciate it, and you will get a PM with a link if you choose to help out.
Thanks!

I think it should be clear that Hashcode is not working on a stock ICS, he is porting CyanogenMod 9 to the Droid 3 and several others.
Not stock. Far from it.

Gummy question
First of all pardon my ignorance. I have flashed several ROMS with sucess (and instructions!), however I have not seen anything on Gummy as far as instructions. Is Gummy a stand alone ROM or does it get installed on top of an exsisting ROM? If the later is true which ROM is the best to install over? I have a Bionic with a stock 904 and am rooted. Thank you!
Denny
I'm not sure what's going on with TeamGummy, but I'm having a LOT better luck with HiveDev's unofficial CM9 port. I installed the 5/31 nightly and I'm having amazing luck with it. The camera is even extremely usable!

Ok, so I loaded the ROM. There is nothing Google, how do you load any apps? I found the Google Play apk and Titanium Backup apk, loaded both and neither work. Thanks!

You need to flash GAPPS after you flash the ROM. Here is a link to what I think is the latest GAPPS
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120422-signed.zip
It worked! Thanks!
Well after a couple of days trying this ROM I have to say I'm not happy with the performance. I keep having to reboot, I keep losing my radio and phone service. I have made calls where I can hear nothing but the other person can hear me. Maybe I'll try again when they get the bugs worked out.
So with ICS on the way to OTA within the next few months, there's sure to be some custom ISC roms for the bionic, right?
Since JB is an incremental upgrade from ICS, will developers be able to get JB on the bionic before it's official announcement/release?

In order for JellyBean to be fully functional on a device, it needs a kernel that supports all the features that are a part of the operating system.
Since Moto's phones have a locked bootloader, it prevents the kernel from being modified by anything except official updates from Motorola.
If we see any JB ROMs on the Bionic, they're going to be incomplete and unstable (like how ICS ROMs were before the ICS leaks) because they won't be able to run with a kernel that supports all its features.
Imagine having a Nissan and wanting to put a Honda engine inside it instead. None of the connectors and parts are going to fit together properly and you're going to have to make a bunch of small hacks/mods to make it work, and you can only hope that it behaves properly once you put it all together. That's pretty much what it's like to force a kernel mismatch on locked bootloader devices.
Jelly Bean source code dropped late yesterday.

This means almost nothing for the Bionic. The Bionic gets to be saddled with a kernel for ICS 4.0.4 which won't support all the upgrades and tweaks made for JB. If we get a JB ROM it'll extremely difficult for 100% of the features in JB to work.
Hash code has kexec fully working on the Droid 3 running his 3.0 kernel. He has a cm9 rom for it almost ready to be released. On his twitter he said that he plans to port kexec to the other phones he supports which would be this bionic and the Droid 4. Dhacker is also working on jb for the razor which he plans to port to the bionic in the meantime.

Good news, but we are still playing the waiting game. Kind of BS for a phone that I paid $300 for. Its "My phone", and should have been unlocked a looooong time ago as stated by Verizon and Moto. Q3 2011 if I recall correctly. Oh well, I'll deal with my ICS leak until its official as at least it saves me the frustration of wanting to throw the phone against the wall.
Jb build is out for bionic and kexec is up and running on the bionic.

I'm not a developer but, its my under standing that CM10 is Kexec ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kexec ) which allows the JB kernal to run on top of the ICS kernal and bypass MOTO's signature checks and locked bootloader. They have just started developing CM10 JB for the Bionic so they are having data issues and the camera doesn't work. Another guy said bluetooth doesn't work. Its not ready to be a daily driver yet.
Now on the plus side it is FAST and SMOOTH!! Google Speak is AWESOME!! Way better then Siri (Siri still can set appointments GS can't). Even though this is in Alpha stage and it came out 2 weeks ago IMHO this is going to be the way togo very soon once they get a few bugs ironed out. It will get there. We still don't technically have ICS for the Bionic and I can almost bet my right arm MOTO will not release an OTA JB.
Once they get everything up and running I would jump on JB for my bionic in a heartbeat...Having ICS is nice (honestly I forget it's not the official build because the phone runs so much better already) but nothing is as smooth as butter.
agreed

any latest news on JB yet? (cm10) or whatever may be floating around out there.

Hey guys I am on the verge of getting this phone, however going through the development sections, I dont see an up to date ROM? I was hoping that there would be an AOSP rom that was kept updated.
Please dont flame me, I am trying to simply find out if this phone has good development support.
None of them are really that good yet. Some folks have had success with the CM10 port, but no bluetooth audio is a no go for me.
The Nexus Pizza ROM is great if you don't use GVoice for voicemail.

I'm running the ported cm10.1 from xt926 from epinter http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2243812 and it works great! All Bluetooth functions work fine for me. I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2262726 to root, unlock bootloader, and flash cwm. Everything worked like a charm.
I take no credit for: Roms,apps,icons, i just made it easy to find the links for you.
*Check out this ROM , been using it for a almost a month & it's really great
* [4.2.2] Liquid Smooth ROM base of aosp : download link http://d-h.st/users/jsnweitzel/?fld_id=19980#files flash it via CWM
* you must flash the latest gapps 10.1 http://goo.im/gapps flash via CWM
* it's really fast you get more free ram has nova launcher as stock laucher also has Halo feature not app , but the feature installed within the rom itself & also you have PIE
* here is the new google camera app aswell , Keep in mind you must delete the current gallery2.apk using root explorer frist go to system folder than go to app folder look for gallery2.apk delete it , then install the this: http://db.tt/xjdaanUq
* i may also suggest installing it with the keylimepie theme: http://db.tt/dV1gQvYn to make it look awesome ( install it like any other apk file then go to phone settings then go to theme & select the theme)
also with these icons you will have such a clean interface: http://db.tt/gn0a4UBW install it like any other apk file , then go to nova laucher settings , then go to look and feel & install the icons : reboot may be needed i am not sure, reboot just in case
& last but not least bootanimation sure the liquid smooth bootanimation is awesome but everyone want a google experience so anyway here is the new google phones bootanimation: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7ziwskci57wuwbi/Google_Bootanimation-flashable_zip%20%281%29.zip flash it via CWM RECOVERY WIPE CACHE FIRST.
also a new google play interface dpi very nice , made: http://db.tt/mbmV9J2Z FLASH VIA CWM RECOVERY WIPE CACHE FIRST.
if you did not like the liquid smooth ROM there is also this one
it looks cool , but i have not tested it out but i'll just throw it in right there : http://d-h.st/users/timpohladthomas/?fld_id=21048#files
anyway hope this all helps , should have made a new thred haha also if you need screenshot of how it all looks just let me know

pac runs bad for me alot of random FC don't know why tho , i have tried AOKP by youngun & liquid smooth & the revolt ROM those 3 have run perfect for me
I second PAC. Most of the FC's have been fixed and as far as I can tell its the best 4.2.2 ROM here. Youngunn did amazing with his HoloBlur and when compared with the time frame he released it, it the most solid one. One of the reason it's so solid, though is because it runs 4.1.2.
So I'll recommend PAC or HoloBlur. And for the love of (insert something you treasure here) don't you use SafeStrap to flash it.
As for ROMs not being up to date, 4.2.2 is the latest ROM usable. Unless you get a Samsung Galaxy S4. That runs 4.3 (or will be soon) but there's only readable teaser releases for the software on other phones
