I'm itching to install it but I'd like to hear from some people who have used it first.
I'd advise against it.
No need, since no weak memory allocation and management like the DX2.
I did it worked had to get correct busybox version couldn't tell if anything really happened but why the avoid krazy?

Have you rebooted your device? If not give that a go, and tell me how it works out for you.
I didn’t' even execute any options with the script and it cause me to bootloop once I rebooted, and someone else experienced the same.
I did bootlooped factory rest got my stuff back re-supercharged and works fine I even did a reboot after 30mins and still worked

I figured as much, but I am getting a pretty decent amount of lag, even after fully removing bloatware (about 32 apps total). I don't see how people are claiming 200mb free. Even after bloatware removal, I still only have 80-130 free at any given time, and I personally hate using an app-killer.
Don't get me wrong, I do know that Android will try and use up any memory that is free and that having a low number of RAM available isn't a bad thing. But, as I stated earlier, I am experiencing a good amount of lag from time to time (mainly due to my widgets I would assume).
I did a factory reset and a battery pull 2 days ago, and the boot-up process is twice as fast now...just as it was when I first bought the phone. But the lag is still present, and the REDRAWING is driving me absolutely insane.

Yeah. That was me. I did run the script though. It didn't even get past the Droid part of the boot animation. A factory reset will fix it, and you'll still have root after.

not true; v6 is for all android OS released so far. It was specifically developed for Gingerbread, but works well on Froyo also.
BUT: There are still conflicting reports that changes it makes in the /system folder may cause problems with the D3, so until an .sbf is available, i'd proceed with great caution doing ANYTHING to the D3 that is not entirely in userspace.
I removed most of the bloat I was comfortable pulling off... but I must say the biggest jump in responsiveness has been from tweaking the build.prop to increase the events per second (I'm at 120) and VM memory (64m).
Please, err on the side of caution right now as we have no sbf, no clockwork recovery. I had to sbf my D2 enough times playing with things I didn't think had a chance of breaking it, that did, that I'm very careful what I poke at on my daily driver, and urge you to as well
When I try to install any large apps (i.e. games) I run into the following issue with both a stock phone and using unl3ash3d ROM.
It downloads fine, begins installing, goes for a bit and then says "error: insufficient storage."
Can anyone help?

I have the same issue every once in a while. I have no idea why so no help there but just so you know if you try again it will most likely work I haven't had one completely fail yet after a try or two it always works.

I have the same problem... often.
I think this handset will be great with a maintenance update. Still kinda rough around the edges.
I have seen the same thing and not just for large apps. Seems to do it for any sized app. You just have to try to reinstall and it will eventually work.
Yea I had the same problem happen to me once. I wasn't even installing a market app, it was just restoring from Titanium backup, but tried it again after and worked just fine.
I've had this problem with my rooted OG Droid running CM7, and trying again usually worked.
Maybe it's a bug in gingerbread?
Swyped from my Droid Bionic, unless I was in landscape, in which case I Swiftkeyed the hell out of it.
Well, my grandfather warned me about jumping to conclusions. He always used to say, "just because lunch comes after breakfast every day, does not mean that lunch is caused by breakfast". With that firmly in mind I present the following: I had gotten the insufficient storage and subsequent failure of apps to install a couple of time. As I was looking at storage areas, I found that I had a few apps mysteriously installed in the "Media Area". I moved those to the "Phone" and I've not had the insufficient storage issue since. Take with at least one grain of salt.
It happened to me quite a bit for awhile but hasn't happened once since I'm on Unleashed.. Dunno if that is the reason why or not.

same here, but on different OGD ROMs too. definitely not just a Bionic issue -- wish i had an answer for ya tho
Same thing happens to me. I have found that when I keep the market page open (if purchasing from the market), then it typically installs correctly. If I let it background download, then I get that error.
I was really excited about getting gingerbread. My phone has been flying and I figure it would be that much faster with the update. Well, not the case for me...the phone feels sluggish and slow. I have not been getting errors but slow. For example I have the weather widget, calender widget, and a couple of contact shortcuts on the main screen. When I open the web browser and hit the home key the phone takes a while and then the widgets (weather and calender) take a while to load. And this is just one thing. I tried taking the battery out. I tried clearing out the cache from everything. And killing extra items from running but still no go. I'm starting to miss froyo
How's your experience with the upgrade so far?

I love it.. I downloaded the update to Gingerbread and rooted... other then that I havent touched a thing other the debloat a few apps on my own.. I have to say im having the opposite experience.. my Revo is just as snappy as ever and feels more refined with this update.

GB thoughts
Went from stock GB to GV 1.1.
Fantastic radio and data 25+ with Houston server/4G
Not one random reboot or crash
Not one update failed issue
Faster batt charge cycle and better life
Got rid of rare unresponsive screen input issue by installing widgetlocker app and by using SPB shell as launcher
GPS and BT much improved over Froyo
Excellent work on GV1.1 ROM MT!
I was also getting the slow down. I rooted and flashed gv but it still happens from time to time. Bt would also lose connection a couple of times during a conversation on a thirty minute drive. I'll be trying the supercharger next to see if that fixes things.

If you didn't do a data reset when upgrading, you should try that.
It sucks, I know, but download MyBackup Root ('tis free) and backup anything that's important; that'll make your life a lot easier. I'd encourage you to backup your apps and the app data separately, and then only restore apps you actually use, and only restore app data that you really need to have back. Resetting and then restoring everything exactly the way it was doesn't fix much, hehe.
MyBackup also lets you backup your SMS/MMS/Call Log/Contacts/some other stuff.
Immediately after the update, LGHome did nothing but force close. I did a factory reset to fix that. Now I have similar issues.
1. Battery life has gone down hill. I have everything off.
2. LGHome is slow. Started to use an alternative launcher which I do not really Fancy all that much. I actually like LGHome, but the scroll speeds have gone to crap.
3. I have tried the super charger thing but so far no difference at all.
4. I was hoping that GB would fix an issue with the email program and exchange. It did on my old phone, but nope. I still get a Password/ID error every time it checks for mail.
The great GB save seems more of a let down to me. My phone is slower, far more issues, and other than the fact that is says it is GB, it looks almost identical to v6 except a slight change in the apps drawer.
I am really thinking about rolling back to v6 with root.

Nothing against MT's work. He does a fantastic job. With this phone however I have not had great luck with ROMs and prefer to keep things stock for now. I do not want install a ROM over what may have been a bad flash. It would not be fair to him as I would comment negatively on his ROM unfairly when it was the base flash to begin with. Once I can get the v7 TOT and redo the phone entirely then I can verify my belief that the phone just did not take the update very well.
I am playing it safe for now and staying unrooted on GB. Once the zv7 TOT is out I'll feel better having that as a fallback.
I haven't had any other problems with GB other than the soft keys not lit after it boots up. Holding the phone up to a light source turns them right on.
I do miss all my apps which require root . . .

Gingervolt 1.2 is making my phone FLY. I honestly never thought this phone would be this fast. My battery life is amazing now too.
If you're familiar with modding the phone, I heavily suggest installing it!
Yeah 1.2 made a huge difference on my phone as well. Muuuuch faster and smoother than 1.0-1.1, and my battery life is MUCH better.

The original upgrade went smooth for me but something happened and things were glitchy after. I flashed the v7 TOT file and things are much much better. I just went 28 hours on light usage and still had 24% battery when I finally plugged in, I was also in the next county over night which has 4G. Market and LGHome are both stable now. Screen lag seems to be much better as well.

I wasn't on stock GB long enough to make a decision on good or bad...
I'm running GingerVolt 1.2 and while it's flying through things that had bogged it down previously...
it seems that the battery isn't charging as fast as it had been.
I'm building up to the 100% so I can calibrate the thing, which may remove the issue altogether, but it's moving at a snail's pace, as opposed to the jog it used to.
(I've had the thing charging for 4 hours and only moved up 20% in charge, where with zv4 I could have the thing nearly charged from the same usage.)
I doubt GB/GV was the cause, but I'm hoping it will clear up with the calibration.
So far, that's been my only complaint with the setup.
Hi all,
I upgraded from .2233 with a layover in .905... my first impressions are that the differences between 2233 and 246 are minor at best. All the problems I had before are still present from the previous ICS build and were functional in GB 905.
Problems:
1) Bluetooth audio is broken- I have a Nokia 360 bt speaker which worked perfect when streaming with GB on Bluetooth. However, both ICS builds are non-functional. Oddly the 246 wont even pair while the previous build did that but with no sound streaming.
2) That high pitch whine (in ear buds) is present when no music is playing (it goes on and off) -this was never present in the GB.
3) In-line mic controls don't work and they never worked before, even for GB but its darn annoying. The microphone doesn't work and the volume controls/center action button don't do anything beyond play pause (even though they are 3 buttons).
Its a nice ROM but its ridiculous that these small features are were never fixed.
any other issues you guys found?

Factory Data Reset
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda app-developers app
One thing I don't like about it is that you can't select between using 3g and 4g like you could before. I frequently set it for 3g to save on the battery life when 4g isn't necessary.
I also had a problem with it scanning my SD card for errors and it wouldn't read it so I had to put a different one in. The funny part is that the card works on other devices but stopped working on the bionic today. It's definitely an annoyance but something I can live with.
The performance is nice though. I do have more network issues now than I had on gingerbread but as far as how fast apps open and the screen slides, its much better.

You can switch between 4G and 3G, just not the same way as before. You need to do it through the programming menu. To do this, you dial *#*#4636#*#* then select phone information, then select CDMA auto (PRL) from the preferred network type menu for 3G, and LTE/CDMA/EvDo to go back to 4G. There are also a few apps on the market that automate that, such as one called LTE On/Off, which is for the Thunderbolt, but also works on the Bionic.

Coming from 232, this isn't too different feeling. My phone is running smoother but that may also be due to wiping everything as well. The set up screens were a bit different and I liked it. I haven't used headphones yet so I'm not sure if the whine is still here but I'm assuming it will since, as far as I have heard, it's hardware.

You'll have to search for that. You may be right, but I try not to use one-click roots.

I've noticed my phone only charging at around 70mah when simply on the home screen (charges very fast when screen is off/sleep, 800+mah). I am using battery monitor widget to see the current draw. Using battery doctor, it tells me Maps is using 99% of the battery being consumed, even after testing it out playing Temple Run 2 for 20 minutes on max screen brightness. Is anyone else having this issue? Any known solutions? I even tried disabling GPS and latitude.

I have tried that. But I would like to use my GPS as it has a lot of uses with applications. That still doesn't explain having such a high current draw enough to only charge at only 70mah even while in use. Any phone should be able to charge significantly faster than the battery drains (aside from USB charging). Something is putting a ton of unwanted load on while the phone is not sleeping. The phone sleeps VERY well in the sense of conserving power (-10mAh)
Can someone download battery doctor and see if Maps is also very high on their list? It could also be a false reading on the apps end. I'm looking at my phone right now on max brightness and it shows it's discharging at -304mAh, which is acceptable. I'm more concerned about the charging rate being horrible while the phone is awake. Something might be really making the processor do unnecessary work.
I have the same percentage for maps as well....

It's kind of sad that they took "Screen" out of the list of power consuming things as that is truly the most common power consuming factor. I'm really not impressed with this release of Sense. I WANT MORE PANELS!! lol I went from 7 panels from the Evo 3D to 5 panels including blinkfeed which I don't use. Sooo lamee
Anyway, the phone is new so I'm sure there will be updates fixing a ton of issues since they kind of rushed the release after the initial delay. I'm betting a bunch of issues escaped unfixed because of that. Would anyone suggest a ROM to potentially fix my issue and improve everything as a whole?

That app is stock sense. Settings > power > usage. I would say definitely ROM it. More customization possibilities and it will only get better. The ROMs that are out now are completely stable and mildly tweaked compared to what they will be in a month or so. Also I had slow charging for my first few cycles and it seems to have gotten much better. At least on par with my wife's evo lte.

I'm leaning towards the Viper ROM. Any other suggestions or possibly better ROMs?
I believe everything gets wiped when the ROM is flashed, correct? I already have TWRP installed.
The generic answer is to try a few different ones and see what works best for you. For me, I'm using viper as my daily. But who knows what I'll be using tomorrow.... I'm a flashaholic. There's a superwipe posted in these forums that will wipe everything for you but in essence it formats system, data, cache, and dalvik. Any time you jump to a different ROM you will want to wipe everything. Keep in mind a factory reset is not the same thing as a full wipe as it does not wipe system files.

So every time you flash another ROM, what do you do to recover all your data, apps, game progress, etc.
I just made a backup of everything with my stock ROM using TWRP.
Personally I use titanium backup.... But it can cause issues as can any app that transfers data between ROMs. you can actually import data from your nandroid by using titanium.... Or just restore the data partition from your nandroid from within twrp. No matter what you may run into issues and if that's the case just start over for the best results.
I apologize ahead of time if this makes no sense.... Exhaustion at work is setting in.
