Rom pulled due to too many complaints of boot loops. Hoping he has a new build out soon.

Bummer. I haven't tried any of the GB ROMs yet, but I'm curious about the accelerometer issue. Does that mean it just doesn't work at all?

Yep. No one has figured that one out yet.

 

[messenger13]

I'm usually one of the first ones to try a new ROM. But I think I'm going to watch from the sidelines for a few days on this one.

 

[jdailey1981]

Hopefully in the next week we will have Gingerbread goodness ready for D1

I'm with you on this one. There's lots of issues being discussed over at DF. I'm sure with a little more time BlackDroid will get a stable GB ROM up and running. Otherwise I'm perfectly happy with v2.5.

It's promising that at least 2.3 ROMs are really in full dev mode now. In a month or so there will be a lot of people with GB versions out there.

Can someone please reupload it?

 

[Nuance]

I am sure I will get flamed for this, but I'm going to give my opinion based on my experience with UD roms anyway...

Perhaps the team at UD should focus on releasing a UD rom without bugs instead of a non-fully functional gingerbread rom. I love some of the features in UD, but the rom has had bugs since 1.0, which is a deal breaker for me. Blackdroid releases a new version every couple weeks, or so it seems. I wish they'd focus on putting together a completely stable rom instead of putting out new (buggy) versions/un-practical gingerbread roms.

Just my $0.02.

I understand your point of view, but the great thing is that we have so many ROMs to choose from! And I think that UD really does help cover the entire field of ROM types. Bugless Beast is generally the most stable and gets updated the least. UD is somewhat bleeding edge, and CyanogenMod is a compromise between the two.

 

[johnlgalt]

I agree with Shadow as well - I've been itching to play with GB on my DROID, but I want a working version, not a non working version.

What bugs have you found in 2.5.0? I have found nothing wrong with it.

 

[bdal1]

I'm not seeing all of these bugs you talk about. I Agree with the sidelines comment. Sorcery is giving me plenty to play with in the meantime.

 

[YankeeDudeL]

I think I'm with all of you'se. I want to try Gingerbread, but I'm not going to until every aspect is addressed and functioning. I just want something to work any time and every time.

I also am not sure of the bugs Nuance is reporting, but we know how diff Droids go. Bout the only thing that doesn't work for me is the 3D app drawer (which seems to work on most other ROMs), but that's as minute a detail as possible. Otherwise, UD2.5 has been one of the finest ROMs I've put on my Droid.

And I agree with bdal1, Sourcery is a wonderful ROM that is helping me pass the time. Very similar feel to UD, not all the features, but some features unique to itself. I highly recommend it to anyone who's a bit of a flash addict like me and need a fix.

 

[smacky]

I didn't like the releases of UD between 8.0 and the current one, 2.5. I always encountered lag after extended use (over the course of a few days of not restarting the phone). 8.0 and then 2.5 have been flawless, though.

I may give this a shot as if I screw something up on my phone, I have Google Voice for text and GMail for placing VoIP calls if something really bad were to happen. I guess that's just one of the perks of winter break.

I'll give it a shot and see how it is. My Droid is like my beater phone now.

21 pages man, 21 pages. If you're not having issues - great! But don't assume others aren't because of that.

Bug Thread for 2.5.0 - OP UPDATED - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum

What bugs have you found in 2.5.0? I have found nothing wrong with it.

The rom still runs sluggish (I've tried different kernels), major redraws, a few force closes (I used GLD's method of restoration, and I always wipe), the emergency only lock screen, new market not working, &amp on keyboard...basically most of the stuff in the bug threads over at droid forums. Like I said, I like the features, but I think BlackDroid rushes things. If he and his team would take more time to get it "right" out of the gate his roms could be elite, perhaps in a league of their own. I really WANT to like UD's roms, but...

I completely agree with this. Thanks for being civil in response to my post, rather than just bash me or claim you don't have issues. I respect that. In fact, everyone has been very civil.

 

[johnlgalt]

Yeah, there are enough Mods, Guides, and even regular users here that are quick to report shenanigans here. So it's usually smooth sailing.

We like it like that.

Plus, Mods are really really quick to take care of BS posts - we like that too.

 

[shadowdude777]

We are nice people!

 

[toker11]

has this rom been made stable yet?

What's this "we" stuff? you have a mouse in your pocket or are you French?

J/K - but a good joke now and then hits the spot.

I can't wait for UD to be stable, I'm having itchy trigger finger syndrome going on here!!!!!

Per BlackDroid on facebook:

"Update: Blackdroid has been able to narrow down a few of the issues that caused the boot looping in the rom. Preliminary tests went well with 6 of the phones. He is working hard today on a few more updates. Currently, Blackdroid is hoping to have a new batch of tests out within the next 24 hours. Please be patient as he is only 1 man tackling this by himself. He appreciates your support."

AND:

"gps, usb, adb, and camera have all been fixed since the tech release."

WOO HOO - we're getting so close!

 

[shadowdude777]

Hey, that's excellent! So what's not working at this point? Proximity sensor, accelerometer, and camcorder? Well considering that my proximity sensor is a piece of barely-functioning garbage anyway, I always have the keyboard open, and I never use the camcorder, maybe I'll take a crack at this release!
