Root [ROM] TheUltimateDroid 1.0.0 (FRG83) 1GHz

[cubstuff]

Currently running UD 0.8. Normally have about 35 - 40 MB's of internal memory free. Downloaded UD 1.0, and am down to 7.5 MB's internal memory and have the "Low Phone Space" error. Not sure why UD 1.0 takes so much more internal memory, but have to go back to UD 0.8 for now. Too bad.

Did you wipe and format everything?

Whoa. This thing rocks. Kind of gives me the overwhelming feeling I had when I took my phone home from verizon. Hey, when I'm closing a window in the browser (the default one), the browser force closes. Anyone else having that problem? Forgive me if I reposted.

Mine was doing the same thing. I went into settings/ultimate droid/modified apps/stock browser app. This fixed it for me.

I'm having a problem updating my launcher pro. I don't know if it's related to this rom or not. I just thought I would check here since I am running this rom and it comes pre-installed on it. it keeps saying that the install is unsuccessful for version 0.8.1.1

I had the same thing, but otherwise, this rom rocks! Thanks for the help and posting an opem link.

Make a nandroid backup of your current state ROM. Next, install adw.launcher from the market. Next, make a backup of your LP homescreens and settings. Then, use root explorer and navigate to system>app. Then click the mount rw button at the top of the screen. Next, find launcherpro.apk, longpress it, select delete. REBOOT YOUR PHONE (your changes will not take effect until you reboot!). Once your phone has rebooted, install LP from the market and open it. Then restore your homescreens and settings. Replace all your widgets and your good to go.

Edit: I have done this and can verify that if you follow the steps mentioned above, this will work just fine.

Spoiler

I am doing this right now and do not guarantee it will work! That is why you need to always make nandroid backups.

I took the Black N Bold theme and changed the icons ... some are mine, some are borrowed from other themes of the past.
I LOVE it!
Don't hate me because it's beautiful.

nice Rom, mad props to you guys....horrible nightmare with UD8 install through rom manager and clockwordmod..

however this one is great running 500/800hrz and my 3d launcher is flawless thanks I love the customizing you can do on these ultimatedroid roms.
all I did was boot into recovery (clockworkmod) wiped delvich and regular cache and installed the zip off SD card....no hitches or glitches, very happy with how this came off with no hitch

Glad it worked. It worked just as it's supposed to for me as well. I have had to do this multiple times with other system apps (gmail, maps, etc), but this is the first time I've done it with the launcher.

The one thing I was somewhat worried about was that LP is the only launcher included this time around and if you don't have a launcher you're basically useless. Luckily, having ADW worked and all is well with the world again.

Launcher Pro update was unsuccesful...is that because it was part of UD1.0? How do I update? I did purchase it prior to UD 1.0.

Any thoughts, guidance?

oops, thought I have read all, must have missed it in haste. Seems like a lot to do, but i'll try it. UD 1.0 has just started lagging...i am going to try a new kernel...anyone else having issues with lagging?

How do i update launcher pro with this? I see the update in my market, but when i try to "update" then it just says "installation failed". Is there anyway to do this since LP is the default launcher? Any help would be appreciated.

There is a lot to do because if you simply delete the launcherpro.apk file, you will not have a launcher on your phone. This means you will not be able to access anything (and I actually think that you will get an error if you try to delete it if it's the only launcher present).

The nandroid backup is something you should do before you modify or delete root files anyways.

Making the LP backup is so you have less to do to set up your homescreens again.

So, the only step this would truly be considered "extra" is installing a second launcher to use after you delete LP.

OK, so I've been running this rom for about 2 weeks. Perfect, fast, reliable. Love it. Question is I only have about 110mb of free space on the internal storage. Is that normal? How can I verify if this is ok, meaning normal? Should I move some more apps to the SD card? Which apps should I NOT move? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I only had about 25-30 MB of space on my internal storage for a while. I then moved all aps to SD (well most) and uninstalled a lot that I never use. Now I have a fairly consistent 95-100 MB space.

I would say that is above normal and considering we only have 256MB to begin with, I would say you are doing quite well.

Hey guys. I'm new to this forum and flashing ROM's to Droids and have a few questions if you wouldn't mind answering. I am also running a Moto Droid G1.

I just completed a Nandroid backup so I'm good to go there. I want to flash this ROM based on the great reviews in this thread and I would also like to run a faster kernel.

1. What kernel would you suggest? (I would prefer the 1ghz).
2. Do I flash the ROM first then do the kernel or vice-versa?
3. I plan on backing up my apps using Titanium Backup but wanted to know if this ROM requires me to restore the apps?
4. Themes, what is included as I see no pics in this thread? (I prefer Dark/Black themes).
5. Anything else I may be missing?

Thx for your time and am anxiously waiting so I can get started!

Forgot to say I also have Rom Manager Pro....

 

[Dark_Wizard]

Hmmm, the site is down so I can't d/l the ROM?

The link in the first post? Is it in Rom Manager Pro?

 

[gallandof]

not currently in rom manager. if you dont get it I can email you the link or host a mirror later tonight. (around 9PM EST) Im currently running this and its been so smooth and fast all around, not to mention battery has been the best ive had. makes me wonder why I kept BB on my phone for as long as I did.
