Root From the DroidMod Team

Yeah, I for one have not been counting the days until DroidMod 2.0 is released :rolleyes: DroidMod 1.0 was on my phone for about 5 minutes so I will give 2.0 the same kind of opportunity.

Is it just me or was Sholes being updated regularly? It does seem like forever since anything...anything at all was updated. Then again...I haven't checked. :D

I happen to like the way my phone is working right now and I like droidmod 1.0 so I am happy to wait for them to update. I also like that they seem to have a lot of integrity. I am not a total dummy about my phone but a lot of the root "stuff" does go right over my head so I feel better letting the experts deal with the finer points. Keep it simple for us less knowledgeable folks so we can all have a wonderful Android experience. :)

It seems to me like they are all weird and dramatic, they may not be... at all. but i am not one to get tangled with something like that, i ignore it and their product

Just because EVERYONE is running cynanogen does than mean you have to too ? It sound like the" IT" thing to do now. Do your own thing, homie. No disrespect. I am totally happy with my rom now. Running @ 1g constant, no fcs, and its DM 1.0. To each his ( or her) own. Peace.

I was rooted before the whole Sholes Mod Rooter (in fact, I thought the push-to-root thing was bad) and was running a few of the SM roms after switching from the early BB's by Pete.

I liked all the SM's, up to 2.0.5. 2.0.6 started to get buggy and DM 1.0 was ok, but on my phone it had a lot of memory leaks.

It was a nice product, and I think the SMUpdater helped a lot of people root, but I can't be bothered with all the BS... from both parties.

I actually nandroided back to my 2.0.5 build and stayed there until the ESE53 rom's came out. Then it was just a matter of seeing which one of those gave me the best battery life.

Cool...do your own thing. No one is telling you to do what to do. We share opinions and experiences here. I personally don't like the DM rom and I can't stand the 12 yr. old girl drama that has been DM for the last couple of months. I don't think they should be airing their team's personal squabbles in forums while slandering each other. That doesn't scream integrity to me and it turns me off even more to their ROMs.

Oh, hey, on one hand, I could have a kickass ROM with all the latest leaks that haven't even been released to stock users that's also been tweaked. But it's WRONG!

I mean, why would I go with the ROM that's wrong when I could have an outdated, ancient, buggy, slow 2.0.1 that's barely better than stock? I mean, come on, it has no piracy!

Oh, wait...

These guys are funny. At least they gave me an interesting read while bored at work. I never used Sholes or Droid mods, because I have been happy with other releases. Sitting on BB ESE53 (0.6) atm. I won't likely play with a new rom until zuesdroid sense rom (beta) comes out. And I will probably just play around with it a bit and put .6 back on until Zuesdroid releases the Sense rom based on the Incredible dump (rather than the Desire dump)...

Ex-DM user. Their Devs are arrogant and elitist (with a few notable exceptions). They constantly condescend and feel as though their product is a gift from teh gods. Newsflash: It's outdated, there's no reason why anyone should still be using it. Even their arch nemesis Pete, has a far superior ROM currently - and he's not an asshole

I love how they wont use the ese53 file but tons of stuff in dm1.0 is from either the nexus or the milestone which is also illegal. Anyone who believes their integrity crap is pretty gullible.

For those who dm runs great for good for you. Everyone should use the rom that works best for them but it doesnt mean you have to buy this kind of BS

Ive been using sholes Mod for the longest. I never had an interest in Rooting till Sholes came out and I love it. Im still on 2.06 and have never moved because Ive had no issues with iy. I didnt upgrade to DM 1.0 because I heard it was very buggy so I'll stick with 2.06. If they ever come out with a 2.0 I may upgade or just wait for an Official 2.1 update.

Hey, I would recommend trying out Cyanogen's ROM, A.K.A, Koush's...Download ROM manager in the market and it flashes his recovery image for you, then downloades his latest ROM, and does everything you'd ever need. Just like DroidMod except, 10x better. If not more lol. Just a recommendation bud :) If not, enjoy DroidMod, I'm just doing some advertising for Koush, his ROM is awesome and he has the same set up as DroidMod, except no Drama and it's great! (even though I don't need the set up...) but its always convienent! ;) Just was offering a suggestion! :D

They bring all the drama on themselves. There is no need to post a big rant like they did and down talk all the other dev's. I ain't buying the holier then thou act they try to portray.


I see it as half "here's what/why we're doing/not doing," and half just telling people to settle the F down. I'm running 1.0 and have no issues. If any of those other ROM's had some "killer" feature then I'd try them out. But until that happens, a ROM these days is a ROM. Fast is fast, compared to stock, and no FC's is a joy.

But as with anything else. It's all just one big pissing contest in my opinion.
