great 2.1 rom

[thebizz]

Just loaded up its called ultimate Droid Tom version 2.5.2
Pros its fast very fast
Keyboard backlight work
Did I say it was fast stable with livewallpapers
It has the option to use the 2.01 luancher themed with droid on the bottom enhanced stability
Overclocked up to 1.2ghz with plenty of speeds to choose from
Temp monitor shows the processor temp and it seems to run pretty cool
Cons the htc keyboard forcecloses on me should be fixed

Bottom line if you want to try 2.1 but don't want many bugs but want speed this for you

Thanks for the link I'm gonna give it a try. How's it been working for you?

 

[Jared DiPane]

When you say it runs pretty cool, what temperature do you consider to be pretty cool?

 

[iJason#WN]

Do I have to be rooted before installing this? When I boot into recovery mode I dont see an option for nandroid.

 

[Jared DiPane]

Yes, you have to be rooted with a SPRecovery installed. Preferably .99.3b

 

[iJason#WN]

Yes, you have to be rooted with a SPRecovery installed. Preferably .99.3b

Ok do you know where I can get that from?

Yes, you do. You should probably start with the rooting sticky before you attempt this.

Also, I found all of the following video's to be extremely helpful:


1) Rooting: YouTube - Motorola Droid How to ROOT your Droid - The Easy Way!

2) Nandroid Backup Part 1: YouTube - Motorola DROID - How to Create a Nandroid Backup - Part 1

Cory, I would create a post and sticky those videos while the SMU/DMU is down and people will be seeking ways to do it.

Battery temp is stable at around 30c
Not one forced close or lockup yet its great. I'm loving this rom

 

[Jared DiPane]

30c equals what F???

 

[thebizz]

90 something but that'd still cooler than soneother kernels at the same speed but that speed is 1.2ghz

 

[iJason#WN]

Ok I'm rooted but don't have the option to restore from nandroid when I boot into recovery mode it's still the stock recovery mode. Please help!!!

 

[Cory Streater]

I'm doing a nandroid backup right now before I load this new one on. Has anyone else tried it yet? How is it?

I personally don't like the new app drawer, and it was missing the Corporate Calendar app, which I know most people could care less about, but I require it for work. If you don't like it, you can always flash to Sholes 2.0.6, which I really like.
