Root UD Froyo eXtreme 8.0.0 (FRF22D

[gallandof]

giving this rom a try and am loving it, the rotary lock screen is what dragged me in. I was running Kang's 5.0.9 (i think) before and that was flawless for me. I had tons of issues with CM6.0 (market not working music not working, FC's with LP and ADW everytime i hit home) LFY 1.6 was a major battery hog for me and was barely able to make a day with my phone barely being used.

with UD8.0 Im getting the best battery ive had, really smooth, and the customisation is awesome, although when I try to open apps in landscape mode they FC, and when i try to install modified apps from UD settings they never work.

Have any of you that have UD8 successfully installed previously run CM6? How about Titanium Backup?
Anyone have a solution for those of us getting stuck in the Ultimate Droid splash screen after first reboot after flashing?

Go to blackdroidmod.com and get a fresh copy of the ROM. Pull your SD Card. Put the SD Card in a Card reader Create a Folder on the card named ROMs. Move the dl'd Rom into that folder. Put Card back into the phone. Boot into recovery. Format Boot System Cache and Data. I do it 3x to be safe. Then load the ROM.

I always use TiBu to restore all my apps, including Swype, without an issue.

I tried the fix permissions, its ben better, but still not great. This is annoying but I haven't changed ROMS yet, so it cannot be that annoying.

This is still happening and starting to really piss me off. Not sure what the cause could be

Wish I could help but just heading out the door so can't scroll back all posts to see what your issue is, sorry.

i just thought you guys would like to know that black droid posted on facebook that he is working on ud 9 as we speak!

 

[The_Chief]

I don't know which one to wait for more: UD9 or BB5! How on EARTH could he improve on Ultimate Droid? What could possibly be new to make it more ultimate?

two things are certain: one- ud9 will probably be out before bb0.5

and two- i will definately flash both of them

Me too!

The only thing worth mentioning is the Market for me seems pretty slow. I had the same quirk with CM6, as well, so there's a chance it's just my phone.

I am experiencing the same issue. Market is extremely slow to update categories. I can't even load Downloads though, every time I do it results in a server error, on both 3G and WiFi.

It sucks because everything else with this rom is running great, but I can't stand not having a Market that functions like it should.. (and no I don't want to have to rely on yet another app - Appbrain)

I've noticed that my BT voice dialer is not working with this ROM. When I activate it, the pre 2.2 voice dialer opens, but doesn't let me voice dial with my BT headset.

Anyone else notice this and/or know how to fix it? I don't see a setting for it, but I have also only been using this ROM for a about a day now.

Thanks,

Kratos

I just started experiencing this same issue. I can search and download apps no problem, but each time I try to get to my downloads section I get a server error (on both wifi and 3G). I suppose I'll try fixing permissions and clearing Market cache to see if that helps.

Edit: Running the "Fix Permissions" script worked! Give it a shot.

 

[Shadowtech]

Ok, fix permissions seemed to have worked, after having to run it 3 times since it kept FC. Market is still extremely slow though. I wonder if ripping market out of LFY1.6 would work, that one worked perfectly.

I was having problems with a slow market a few hours ago. Didn't fix permissions but just tried again and is working fine.

Maybe problems with the server?

anyone else get FC's with navigation? My nav wouldnt even render it was so glitched up. It was pretty mucn inoperable

Here you go:

Ultimate Droid Froyo eXtreme 8.0.0 - Droid - Page 33 - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum
Just install as an update.zip without wiping. Takes maybe 2 seconds and FIXES BT voice dial.

I didnt care the font they chose as the default, it seemed a bit dim, especially in gmail, but I switched to the Zegoe font at the bottom of the list of available fonts in this ROM and I have to say, MUCH better.

And now your expertise and wisdom is helping me! Thank you very much.

(I bet if the two of us put out wisdom and expertise together, we could probably take over the world!!!!! )

Awsome, thanks. I had UD8 with Watermarked and for some reason the BT dialing worked, but when I re-installed UD8 to get rid of Watermarked, the BT dialing stopped working.

You guys must read minds, I just came on to see if anyone else had this problem, didn't expect to find a fix that was linked today.

BTW, thanks Kratos for the advice on just re-loading UD8 to get rid of Watermarked, worked like a charm.

So after being off the charger for 8 hours today, my phone says it is sitting at 90% battery left. That is with a bit of mild texting and some web browsing. It is either wrong, or the best battery life I have ever gotten on a ROM before. Used to be I'd come home from work and my battery would already be down to at least 50-60%. I am using the same Slayher 1.2 kernel I've been using on my other Froyo ROMs, but none of them even came close to this stated battery life even just idling.

I used to call BS every time I seen someone state they're getting 2+ days out of their battery, as I was never able to achieve that on anything, but now I'm thinking I finally found the lucky ROM that will do it for me.

 

[20007.3stroker]

wish i could say i still had it installed, i love the customizations. but apparently my phone didnt like it because it lagged pretty bad for me so i try different kernels and it didnt help. Probably try UD9 when it comes out, hopefully my phone likes that one.

 

[Ibanez540r]

Love the ROM, but getting one annoying thing happening. Sometimes after hitting "Home" the home screen is blank and it takes a few seconds and re-loads the home screen. When this happens it also re-loads the app tray. ??? Slow and annoying when it happens
