I'm still liking UD, but kind of want a change.

Whatcha suggest wan?

I really like CyanogenMod, I'm still using it. I like that you can install the rom and kernels using their app. The app also notifies you of updates to the rom, lets you backup via the app (it reboots into recovery and does it all automatically), and is overall a very clean rom. It doesn't come bundled with a bunch of apps and shit.

Only downside is that it has the stock theme. So to theme it you have to manually use MetaMorph or pay for the Premium version of their app so you can install them the easy way.

I paid the $4 because I liked the rom/app that much.

Oh and one big plus for CyanogenMod is that you can install apps to your sdcard. So whenever you have to wipe to install a new version of the rom, all your apps are still there when you come back

install apps on card will be a def + cuz my phone is almost tapped out

rofl si, is beddy naiz for app whores.

You can choose to install on sd or internal. So you can put things that are vital like LauncherPro and Lookout and whatnot on the internal memory so they'll run faster and be there in case of sd failure and put all the games and whatnot on the sd. That's how I am now, I have like 3 things on the internal and the rest on sd. I notice no difference in speed.

i wanna put assfault on sd...big file i think...so how i get this cryogen shits?

[stonehenge]

It be easy. First if you want you can get "App List" from the market. It will save a list of all your apps to the sdcard (applist.txt). Might be handy.

Then go to the market and install Rom Manager. The free one be fine and if you like it enough you can pay $4 for the one that lets you install themes and other roms and shit.

When it opens it will probably ask for root permission, always allow it. Then you should see the first option "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery". Click that, select Droid, let it download, then it will flash it. It only takes a few seconds. It may ask for root permission here instead. I don't members.

Now you haz new recovery. You can now install CyanogenMod. If you haz fast wifi available, connect to it, if not thats fine. In Rom Manager, click "Download ROM", then "CyanogenMod" at the top, then "CyanogenMod 5.0.7.1". Check Google Apps, hit OK. Now it will download the ROM. This may take a while if on 3G. Give it time. When its done you'll get a pop-up. Choose both options (Backup & Wipe) for this first install. Then hit OK and chill the fuck out for a few minutes. It will reboot, backup, wipe, then install the rom. You don't haz to do shit.

When its done it will boot into CM. It may take a while the first time, but thats fine. Once it boots it will seem slow because it is running at stock speed (ta loco stock). Go into Rom Manager, choose Download ROM, then CyanogenMod, then either bekit Kernels or P3Droid Kernels. Either will work. When you go into them, you'll get several options:

First decide what max speed you want, I like to stay at 1ghz, you can try higher if you want. Then decide what voltage you want. Low voltage runs cooler but some phones don't like it. When I use a low voltage I get lots of FCs and unstability. Others love them. Trying them won't hurt, you can flash new kernels as often as you want. As for "5 Slot" or "7 Slot", that is how many options you'll see in SetCPU. A 5 slot may have 250/400/600/900/1000 where a 7 slot could have 500 and 750 or something also.

I am using the bekit 7 Slot 1.0GHz Standard Voltage but try whatever you want.

When it goes to install, choose to backup but don't wipe.

Now you're done. Next step is to theme it if you want.

Let me know if I forgot anything

rom manager be on list que no?

[stonehenge]

haznt tried, when i wanted it, it wasn't so i bought, i'z only bought 3 apps so far. BW, RM, and a solitaire one that was .99 cuz the other ones were ghey

[2005_Silverado]

will i lose me pics/vids?

[stonehenge]

Sorry, didn't see post nope, they be on sd card, sd card be safe

Might have to format sd card later to make apps2sd work pero that will be a separate step and you can copy your shit to pc first if you want when you get to that point.

[stonehenge]

let me know if something happens but so far i done mine, royyarz, and told my bro how to do his. no issues so far

[2005_Silverado]

does it freeze a lil at end of download?

[stonehenge]

rofl maybe but even if it freezes completely for some reason, you aren't at a point that freezing would cause shit.

It freeze at the end of RM download or end of ROM download?

[2005_Silverado]

When it opens it will probably ask for root permission, always allow it. Then you should see the first option "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery". Click that, select Droid, let it download, then it will flash it.

[2005_Silverado]

what was problema?

[stonehenge]

The theme modified the gallery and somehow broke it. Which is unusual because all the theme did was change the icon. I found the gallery from stock CM. So now it has the stock icon pero it works. FIDIL.
