Database Develop

Just bought a droid.

I just bought a droid to mess with when I'm board of my thunderbolt. I'm really excited about the phone because for about 8 months I've really been missing my G2. I know I that I probably wont permanently leave my tbolt for the droid but at least ill have a keyboard again whenever I want it. What smooth roms are there for the droid? I really want to run CM7 or maybe miui. CM7 working nicely on the droid?

If a Droid as twice the RAM a Milestone have so you will have much fun with any GB-ROM.
Because you have the same smal RAM like a Milestone, then you will have a App-Kicking Mono-Task ROM with any GB.
The fastest and smoothest ROM is Eclair (Stock) following by a Froyo based MOD.

For droid if u want gb use liquid gb or project elite they b oth have their cons and pros and a overclock kernel would be good like chevys ULV kernels to save battery if they work and make sure u use supercharged v6 script it helps it run realy smooth and use rzrecovery for recovery and make sure you back up before you so anything you have any other question just ask

Had my droid for almost two years. Been through MANY roms. Standard CM7 is a little too buggy for my liking. And liquid ginger has a bunch of call bugs.
I am LOVING Chevyno1's simply stunning 2.3.4 rom right now. No FC'S or bugs so far. Very stable.
Also running his LV 1000 kernel. But running it at only 800. I've noticed that anything over 800 mhz and the Droid becomes a handwarmer. Plus I've noticed no additional output in performance either.
Lastly yes, absolutely run V6 supercharger. It will make a very snappy phone for ya.
Pm me if you have any questions!

Awesome phone. I've used many ROMs over the past two years but Bugless and MIUI are my favorites.

Peter Alfonso has a pretty good AOSP Gingerbread ROM that I'm currently running in tandem with Chevy's low-voltage 1GHz kernel. It's basically a stock ROM with a few minor modifications. GPA16 is good, and GPA17 is currently in open beta but I use it as my daily driver without issue.

I tried CyanogenMod7 on my (now on warranty) Milestone, and I have to say.. CM7 is great, but, I really want a usable phone, the last days with my phone and CM7 I couldn't use the browser, after I tried to click on some link of google search, the browser close.. And if this happen on the browser, just imagine how was with other apps.
But, according to what I'm reading, CM7 RC14 is great.. Maybe when I have my phone back I'll try it, but for now I'll try FroyoMod.
BTW, Android 2.3/CM7 just bring to us 2 big things: SIP calls and be able to use Google Talk with voice and video, so, maybe is not a big enhancement.

Have tried both CM7 and MIUI, but sticking with CM7 for now.

And, here I'm with my new Milestone phone (changed by warranty)...
I decided to go with CyanogenMod 6 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155454). This is a really great ROM, and for my, 14 hours of charge using the phone is pretty good

Bionic ROMS?

Whats the newest, most bug free ROM out there for Bionic, thats still getting updates?
I've had the Bionic for a couple of weeks and already got disapointed.
back when i rocked the DX2 i was die-hard Eclipse.
well on bionic i notaced many bugs, and i re-flashed, redownloaded, the works. had the same issues.
anyway. nitro sold his bionic, so no more Eclipse. so i swung to the other side to try Liberty. its cool. no where neer as boss as Eclipse. but they both have pros and cons. anyway.
come to find out Liberty devs stopped for the bionic too. so, my question is, what is the newest, bestest rom, thats still getting updates, and lots of themes? preferably a boss ICS theme D

Active Bionic Roms
There are several alpha and beta Roms out for the Bionic however most of them still have bugs ranging from no 3G/4G to the front facing camera not working. From what I can tell the only stable Rom for the Bionic is gummy. This may be due to the Bionic having a locked boot loader. Hopefully either Nitro will get a used Bionic and continue development or development will increase when or if ICS is officially released on the Bionic.

i hope he does too. i really enjoyed Eclipse. besides the fact thant when i held down the power button to get the reboot options it would just straight up reboot. (very annowing when wanting recovery)
i think the AOKP ICS rom thats out looks mighty spiffy, but i dont know what all doesnt work, and i dont want to risk having to go back to my old old devour. (sold the DX2)
anyway. thanks for your input!

here is me and @insanemods rom mainly his but working on fixing all the bugs stuck at f.c.'s at the moment but mostly works themes galore lockscreen changes and such... here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1535293

I'm in the same boat as you, trying to find a stable ROM rather than go back to de-bloated Blur. The only other recommendation I can give besides those already mentioned is dhacker's April 5th nightly of CM9.
I obviously haven't been using it for long, but it has so far has a pretty consistent data connection.
DroidHive -> Downloads -> Bionic -> CM9 SELFKANG BIONIC ICS

I've been running CM9 Unofficial since it dropped. Currently I am on 04-04 and have had stable data and WiFi since I flashed it. HW accel and video are the only things really missing for me. Give it a shot.

thats sounds really nice. so theres CM9, and CM7.....wheres 8??
but a link would be helpful.
i just want something super stable, that will work with safestrap, and will be getting updated frequently, i like having all the bugs worked out, and having cool new additions
because i liked the option of going into recovery upon each boot.
and is anyone using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527544 ?
i want a straightforward review of it. dont sugar coat it xD

i can see apple as first install install like nova launcher or apex and the "apple" is gone dude simple as that super customizable at that point.. just sayin' but do what you want..

I do prefer the AOKP ICS rom port over the CM9 just for the little details, but they're rather similar.
Being new to this stuff, I don't know what "Repo Sync & Build" means. But I've used the rom linked below, and in my eyes, it was merely the March 13th nightly of the AOKP rom port--also on droidhive, their latest is april 8th.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527544
Both the AOKP and CM9 4.0.3 roms have the same bugs as mentioned above.
No HW accel. Games crash.
Video has issues.
Data is intermittent. I'll have rock steady data all day, but then the next day it won't work at all.

Is there any consensus on which is the most stable ROM with a solid 4G connection?

im with this guy.
even 3G
im using the one on her the repo sync and build ICS AOKP.
well, one thats getting updates like the ICS roms.
like is CM9 or the AOKP better?
or pretty much the same, but with one with 'rom controll"
hell, i wouldnt mind just a port of stock ICS with boss data connectivity.
oh, with the AOKP can i update between nightlys just by wiping cache and flashing, or do i need to factory reset everything?

I use eclipse 2.2 after using liberty for .901. I tried gummy but had issues.

anyone have a link for a stock 902 thats deodexed and flashable?

The Gummy ICS rom is VERY good and is only missing a working camcorder...and that's it. I ran it for days and ZERO issues, except for that. Eventually I just got too uncomfortable not being able to use the video camera and went back to stock. It just updated yesterday as well, but still no video recording:
http://goo.im/devs/TeamGummy/Roms/Targa

For that gummy ROM do you only flash that one, becsuse the Gapps are part of it?

no there is also a Gapps package for it as well....i'm sure its on their site.

I did not see it unless it isin a different slot than the ROMs. A link would help

Pros and Cons of each ROM?

After being on these forums for a while, I've come to know the 5 main ROMS for the D4.
AOKP
The Arctic
SELFKANG/CM9
Gummy
Eclipse
I think that there should be a thread that compares each ROM, and that helps people, myself included, choose from these wonderful pieces of software that would best be suited for their likings.

If I may, I came from CM7, and I miss it dearly. I also enjoyed MIUI, but always came back to CM7.
I am excited about CM9, but more than ICS, I want some tweakability and theming again. I would love to see CM7 themes.
However, my biggest actual need, is lapdock support. Whatever custom rom supports it will be my first choice.
I just wish I could code to help. Alas, I am not a coder.
Sent from my DROID4 using Tapatalk

I was more referring to features of the listed rooms in my first post. But theming and such are good things to discuss too

Is it still true that none of the ICS ROMs have a working video camera yet due to driver issues?
I'm still on stock, but recent issues with Bluetooth AVRCP being completely broken in both versions of the stock ROM have me interested in taking the plunge.

It's true. For video to work I guess we'll have to wait for an ICS release from Motorola. Doubt any dev will work on it knowing Motorola will release it.
I for one am a happy AOKP user. Not sure if you would be. Some have reported audio issues with ICS/AOKP/AOSP. At the moment I have no need for Bluetooth audio. Except maybe my carkit.

I'm perfectly happy sticking on eclipse 1.3.6 right now its really fast, and no issues as of yet

Looking for a nice ROM with stable data connection, absolutely love ICS but sketchy data is putting it on hold for now. Gonna try eclipse...

Eclipse is absolutely amazing, haven't run in to any problems at all

Im thinking about gettin the droid4

I have the droid3, thinking about getting the droid4. I see that ICS has leaked, why don't the custom ROMs have full function yet then ?

There are a few reasons:
The leaked ICS builds have only been out for about a week.
The primary Droid 4 AOSP developers (i.e. Hashcode) work on ROMs for multiple devices and only have so much time.
The current ICS ROMs are based on the D4 Gingerbread kernel. There is a new kernel in the leaked ICS builds and the ROMs will likely have to be modified accordingly.

cool man thanks. you think it will be updated fully soon ? are there any major hurdles that would have to be jumped?

Hash code is working on a d4 ics version of safe strap as well as an improved ics rom. I am not sure on the specifics of which one or if its going to be all or a totally new rom based on the leaks. the big difference is everything will work, hardware acceleration, face unlock and basically what does not work in the current roms. I would say in about a week or less we should start to see the ics based roms getting pumped out.

yeaaa awesome. Hash is the best furreal aha. If he makes all the features i know the AOKP rom (fully functional) will be made by someone eventually. thanks for all your help

I would totally upgrade. I had both as well. Screen is better. Keyboard is better. Form factor is better. And it is getting official ics

I just recently upgraded to the Droid 4 from the Droid 3. It looks and feels better in the hand though there is allot of extra bessel which is kinda annoying (atleast to me) to look at.
Though the new keyboard is sweet, the new shift posistion still messes me up. Plus it's going to be supported more than the Droid 3 because it has 1 gig of ram (official ICS ) and it's 4G (So verizon approves)
4G has been great, so has been playing games. Haven't tried the GPS yet.
So yeah, its worth the upgrade.

Best ICS ROM for X860

Man the X860 is slow compared to my S3, this is the primary device for one of my parent and for them its plenty. But it's slow becoming laggy and outdated and I would like to flash a new ROM tpo make it snappy.
I was hoping for an official CM build, but that does not seem to be the case so can anyone of you recommend a ROM that works will Bell Canada?
Currently using Moto Stock rooted and bloat removed. Also can some one explain this safe strap method, is there no way to flash it like a Samsung or hTC?

Mavrom is pretty good. They probably just need stable and that should do it. And unfortunately we don't have a fully functional ICS yet.

The Best Two GB Roms are:
Eclipse 3.0 - Almost no blur
Mav Rom 4.5 - The best of the blur
The Best ICS Roms are:
CM9 ICS Haschode NON KEXEC - It's fairly stable and quick. There is no hardware acceleration, so youtube gets a little laggy, camera is a hack and doesn't fully embrace the it's hardware, chrome does not work.
The 9/5/2012 CM9 Kexec Rom - Almost as stable. Everything works but Camera. The blutooth has been known to cause issues with phone calls if left on and not connected to a headset. Wifi tether also does not work at this time.
Kexec Roms: http://dl.hash-of-codes.com/ROMs/solana/ note CM10's data does not work stay CM9 for now.
There other ICS roms are great but I don't think have been updated recently.

ahh i see i was hoping for a good ICS by now .
What GB Rom is the best I want lag/bug free as possibly, enough for a daily driver for a 40+ non-techy parent can use.
I was reading on Mavrom and it seem the best and it works with CWM which i am so very used to.
@jesusishere
Thats great ICS list so thanks, but can you please link to ROM threads? The ICS won't work as daily drivers because of Camera issues, everything needs to function Bluetooth could care less for. But video, games, phone/gsm, wifi, camera, internal/external SD etc are a must.
So it seems this phone has to stick to GB.

Go Mav Rom for a non techy parent. It has enough blur to make it easy for someone to use. Also use safestrap. CWM has some issues with the D3. You can follow the latest development on ICS/JB with our main man, hashcode, his twitter.Hashcode. I do not think it will be much longer until he gets the Camera working. After that it's all down hill!

I have XT860 from Bell, Does anyone know how to unlock it ? I want to use it with ROGERS
oh i found unlock code just for $2.3

for best battery life try Maverick Rom, but v4.0. very fast as well.
eclipse 3.0 is faster, but somehow the webdock does not work and battery seems better with mav4.0
my advice: combine it with SSlauncher for a wonderful experience.
