Best ROM For Motorola Droid FRG83D?

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

good find but apparently eveyone knows about it or are more into miui???

Just flashed this baby very quick IMO thinking of trying this thing out as a base learned a lot from @insanemod to port a miui rom and seeing what the difference performance wise would be

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!

Is this a stand alone? Thanks!

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.

[Q] Which is the most stable rom for Galaxy Note

One of my friends wants me to root and flash a new rom to their Note but I have no idea which rom (ICS or GB) is the best.
Now before anyone flames me I just want to ask your opinions on the latest developments. Clearly I am asking for opinions. I also do not currently have this device.

Rocket gb is the most stable.

All GB Roms are very stable, and you won't go wrong if you flash any of them.
OTOH, ICS is not so stable and requires high user maintenance and fixing. I'd stay away from early ICS releases if I were you.

Cool thanks. Any recommended Rom aside from the one mentioned before as in what makes you go to it. I do understand about AOSP Roms and how unstable they can be in the beginning. Also is anyone planning to port CM9 to the note?

Maui is one taking care of CM9 port.. as of now there is no official leak yet. so once the leak is out then the development ll begin and the ROM ll be in hands soon.

Well, basically there are two types of custom GB roms ATM.
1. Light ones (much of the Samsung and other crapware removed)
They are fast and battery efficient. Some users don't like them because of the missing features. I prefer them, though: anything you need can be installed after flashing.
The light Roms are
Cassie's XL
Chrack's Small
2. Full Roms containg almost everything a stock Rom has
These Roms are somewhat (but not much) slower than the light ones, and their batter life can be slightly shorter if you do not monitor what your multitude of apps is doing behind your back, if you get my drift.
You'll find a full list of Note Roms with links here:

As I said before this isn't for me I personally don't have a note but am doing this for a friend and I know aosp ics is a little too unstable on anything for me to flash it to a device that I don't own. So that being said I will probably stick with gb unless they really want ics.

If your friend doesn't even know how to root and flash, then advise him/her that ICS is not the way to go. Otherwise you'll get bugged to death with requests to fix this and that.

You're in the wrong forum, buddy...kindly get the HELL out! Maybe you should try flashing a N7000 ROM to your AT-T phone. Tell us how it goes, okay? Thanks.

Back on topic...
MIUI has made incredible strides is stability if you ask me. It's my daily driver, and there are only a few issues to be had now, but as you'll come to find out...nothing is ever quite perfect when it comes to Android.

Faggy one? You mean the original "one?" Sorry, I didn't want to get a "fagged" up version of the Galaxy Note from AT-T 5 months ago when it wasn't out.

ah...never mind.

OMG seriously if you wanna argue about who note is bigger pm each other and deal with it there.
Same bs no matter where you go on xda someone says something that someone doesnt like and bam out comes the flamethrower.
Ya like i said not my Note so i dont wanna experiment. Not to say i havent thought about Miui. I do however need something as rock solid as possible.
To be truthful both of your notes are bigger than mine coz i dont have one.
That being said my transformer does run CM9 and Cornerstone.

JB 4.2 to i9300/9305

Did you think that ever will be released?
Sent from my GT-I9305.

Hi, Sure... But when???

Here in Sweden we just got 4.1.2. So i assume we have some monts of waiting.. :laugh:

Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie will be revealed for the new Google Phone during Google I/O in May 2013.
So hope to get the 4.2 in May.

Exact but it is not small differences between the 4.1.2 and the 4.2..So i prefer to update direct to 5.0

Hi,
scumpi if I'm sure of something about you is you'll not wait until the 5.0 realease before a next flash.

Sv: JB 4.2 to i9300/9305
It would be nice to see it came alive so we can try...
Sent from my GT-I9305.

Now there is both CM10.1 in alpha and a RC of LiquidSmooth.
None of them is perfect yet, but with the speed of development the last couple of weeks I think its just a matter of days.

As mentioned in the previous posts, yea there are roms for 4.2.1/2 already! like CM10.1 and Liquidsmooth (4.2.2)
Personally I would say go for LiquidSmooth. For now, it has better support and lesser bugs

I've tried Android 4.2.1 with CM mod but it's a little bit disappointing. I can't see any real useful changes so far.

no, Samsung will not release Exynos sources, so it will never be final

I hate to say it but we are either gonna get more support in next months or less support.
With the s4 coming, I predict that most devs will move on and go to that

As someone who has owned the Bionic since launch, and just jumped to CM 10.1 a few days ago, I'll chime in here. It's a much better phone since CM 10.1. That said, be prepared for issues initially. I had a lot of problems and was ready to give up - until I did a factory reset on the CM 10.1 ROM. If you decide to make the switch, you can root, install SafeStrap, and flash CM 10.1 and Gapps with confidence, as long as don't mind doing a factory reset and rebuilding everything. Since the phone is new to you, that shouldn't be much of a deterrent.
I personally would recommend making the plunge.

Thanks a lot... is there any thing not working... i heard the camera is fixed...

Yep, camera works fine. Check out the last page or two of the post related to the ROM you intend to flash to see what kind of issues people are working. From the Official CM 10.1 ROM:
WHAT'S NOT WORKING (NOTE: I expect to be able to fix all of these issues, it's just taking some time):
Gallery / Media FC see top of the post for FIX.
HDMI
Dock/Dock Settings
Some random reboots being looked at.

What did you mean when you said you had to reset on the CM ROM? Does the ROM still stay on the phone after the reset? Also, what did you have to do to rebuild everything?
I have another post asking for advice on rooting and ROMs. If you could help me out too, that would be great. I am interested in CM.

After installing the CM 10.1 20130326 NIGHTLY for the first time on a newly rooted Bionic, the phone was extremely unstable. A factory reset made all that go away. I elected to download all my apps again for a fresh start. Right now, it's working well.
