what is the best rom....

[Brett]

for live wallpapers. I want something is stable (or at least mostly stable) and visually appealing. I currently admin running sholes rom but am getting kind of bored with it. what's your guys opinion or the best rom from your experiences

 

[Jared DiPane]

my opinion is that a lot of the ROM's with the live wallpapers are not stable. there are a few options, many of which I have read and had random reboots with.

You can try the newest ROM's from Pete that he has posted on AllDroid if you want, they would be my best recommendation.

 

[Brett]

by not stable do you mean laggy or FCs'?

 

[Jared DiPane]

lots of random reboots...which bugs me. force closes. etc

 

[droidweasel]

ya i just downloaded it this morning,and everyone but one force closes.and its the worst one.

 

[Brett]

which rom would that be?

 

[Cory Streater]

So bitfix, have you tried live wallpapers on the 2.0.6 sholes ROM? I have not had a single force close with it running live wallpapers, and it runs amazing fast when overclocked to 1000 MHz. Better than the stock ROM by a mile.

not yet. there are some things im trying to figure out before i do that but im def gonna. i keep seeing people saying "adb" and i have no idea how to get that or even use it. i kind of just want to make sure i know what to do if somthing goes wrong haha.

your using the sholesrom that they put on droidmod's site and the live wallpaper that is on alldroid, right? hows the battery, memory and temperature holding up?

Watch those videos and I swear you'll feel a lot better about it.

I am using all of the things you said above. This ROM is rock solid, as are each of the things you asked about. I have noticed no decrease in battery life and the whole thing is BLAZING fast. I really do love it and there's no way I would take an official ROM push over this combo right now.

if i used the sholesmod updater and i already have nandoid folder and a backup from when i was stock, i should still make a backup of my currents state before i move onto this.... right?

 

[thebizz]

It will make a pre install backup for you

Yes, and when you do the ROM update, SPRecovery will invoke Nandroid backup, so a backup will automatically be created in case you need to revert back.

 

[Brett]

haha i am retarded. i did what the youtube videos said to do in order to create a nandroid copy and then i went to droidmod's site and installed the updater and it made a nandroid copy when processing it. i could have just skipped the youtube videos. but then again i guess it is good to know for future reference.

edit: the new droidmod updater has the live wallpapers... atleast thats what it says. im doing it now so i will let you guys know once i finish

edit2: the live wallpapers work but they are not interactive which kind of sucks but it is still pretty cool. i just wish i could get them to be interactive

 

[Jared DiPane]

The DroidMod will create it for you, but for a while it was down and people had to do it on their own.

 

[Cory Streater]

haha well at least you are getting some experience. man it took me a while to get all this stuff down myself.

 

[Brett]

if i download any live wallpapers off of the market will they be interactive?

 

[Jared DiPane]

I dont think it will read you as having a 2.1 ROM to give you the option to download them, will it?

 

[Brett]

i just downloaded 2 off the market. lets see if it works....

starfield 3d works so far

i installed openhome (i had it purchased from a while back) and it makes all of the stock live wallpapers work

 

[Jared DiPane]

Well, are they interactive?

 

[Brett]

yes they are. but now i have seen on the sites the launcher2 makes it work on the stock home... right? and that is just a launcher that i can install with astro, i dont have to install a different rom?
