Root [ROM ]--CHARITY--Smoked Glass Themed V.10 !! Froyo 2.2.1 - Fast, Stable, & Great Battery Life

I'm new to all the rooting and was running just a stock setup with Launcher Pro and overclocked at 800mhz. I did a lot of reading in the forums trying to decide which Rom to go with. I wanted something based on the latest update frg83d and I wanted to run the new market and have all my apps up to date. After trying UD 2.4 and being dissapointed I switched to Charity and I'm very pleased. No issues with Wifi or Tether. I think i did learn you have to enable access control so the computer finds the android tether and then disable it to get the internet flowing. I was able to easily update the market through clockwork and all my apps moved over perfectly. So far so good and very pleased with the dark backgrounds and status bar. I also like the gingerbread keyboard, lockscreen, and performance. so far battery life is as good or improved over stock. Anyways for others that are new and nervous about rooting and which Rom to try. This may be best to start with and stay with till gingerbread is out. I'll be donating to Charity soon. Can i write that off on my taxes?

Nope i tried a different computer and im still in the boot loop, any other sugestions?

Try downloading it directly to your phone.

I'm not sure what's causing this, I'm looking into it. Right now you are the only one who has reported this problem, but it is still worrisome to me.

It could possibly be the kernel, which is now ultra low voltage.

Try installing this file: http://chevyno1.richstevenson.com/froyo/kernels2/ChevyNo1-0.8Ghz-medV-7slot-update.zip

After installing the ROM, but before booting. It is an 800mhz Medium Voltage kernel by chevyno1.

Please report back!

Thanks,
Dan

you could always rename it update.zip, if you do it in windows it ads the .zip for you, and reboot into recovery the old fashion way? I mean if you already have a back up

I've pretty much ported the smoked glass theme we all have come to know and love and packaged it into a pretty awesome Froyo 2.2.1 Based ROM. This is an update to my original posting found here: http://androidforums.com/droid-roms...oyo-2-2-1-built-source-brand-spankin-new.html

I don't think asking for personal donations is in line with the ideas behind open source software. Thus, I have decided to collect donation money for charity.

Please Donate, read below...

ALL (100%) of the money will go to NATIONAL PARK FOUNDATION: Oil Disaster Recovery. I will be fully transparent in this process and will show any donors proof of the organization's receipt. I know this is a new idea, I hope it catches on. Please check out the organization at:

Help Our Gulf Parks

Send donations directly by clicking the link above, or PM me for my PayPal address.

Instructions...

Backing up...
Google saves your contacts, programs, settings, and bookmarks on the cloud.
You can double-back up program with Titanium backup, which will also backup application settings
You can back up text messages with a market app called "SMS Backup & Restore".

File is in the UPDATE.ZIP format.

Clockworkmod
Place the file you downloaded anywhere on the SD Card. Easiest place would be the root directory.
Chose "Install zip from sdcard" from the main menu
Select "Chose zip from sdcard"
Browse to the file (SG9-update.zip) and select it. Confirm the install, let it do it's magic.
Reboot.

SPRecovery
Rename the file you downloaded to update.zip and place it in the root of the SD Card.
Select Install from the main menu
Select Allow update.zip Installation
Select Install /sdcard/update.zip (deprecated)
Reboot.

If you are running the most recent version of my ROM, you may not need to wipe data/cache (factory reset). It's never a bad idea though. If you bootloop, that is the reason.

Here's a few quick screenshots:
