Root [ROM STABLE] Bugless Beast V0.6 Android 2.2 FRG83D

meh, I used to like Bugless Beast ROMs but since CM 5 he has been behind the curve and finally imo has fallen into irrelevance.

I hate to say this, because Pete's was the first ROM that I downloaded on my Droid, but you're right about him falling behind the curve. The difference though that I see in BB.6 is that he's learned how to build ROMs from source, rather than modding, say CM, with his own little tweaks. I'm in the process of loading this one up right now, we'll see how it goes. I will say that with all of the ROMs that i've used this past year, BB seems to play the nicest with my phone so i do hope that it continues. I really hope he keeps learning about android so that he can create some killer GB ROMs here in the coming months.

Will report back sometime tomorrow to let you guys know what its like...

Don't worry guys, he has been learning a ton lately and you can expect to see some really, really nice stuff from Pete soon.

Also he managed to overload my server in 48 minutes today with 0.6.

Not worried when Pete is creating. I have the utmost respect for him. I wish he would work his magic on a Droid X ROM.:D

Damn, I just earlier ran into a twitter post showing 2 built from AOSP DROID (OG) Gingerbread ROMs....

I want to try Pete's new BB, as well....it's been a long time since I played with a BB, and I know he was planning some mighty good things for this release, from several months ago....

Great, Now I have a backlog of 4 ROMs to try in the space of a night....blah.

Damn you Pete!! :p

After the several small, but annoying issues I had with BB 0.5 (market issues/homescreen lag), I wasn't particularly inclined to flash 0.6. However, a scroll through the change log definitely changed my mind.

The long press on back to kill the app in the foreground is a feature that does not work for me on CM6; Here it does.

The overall smoothness and speed combined with the Gingerbread theme make me more than happy to settle for 2.2.1, when there are new (but broken) Gingerbread ROMS out there. (Also, I need the battery percentage in the status bar icon and this has it.)

The blocked ads without AdFree Android, both in the apps and browser, was a welcome addition after running CM for so long.

My only real complaint so far is the auto-brightness setting defaults a little to dim for my tastes.

Check Pete's app and see if there is a way to actually adjust the autobrightness settings. I have it in LFY, and I know Pete has collaborated with at least one dev who also worked with Liquid on LFY, so it might be hidden in that special Pete's app (if that app still exists in this ROM).

I appreciate the quick reply and suggestion. Unfortunately though his app isn't loaded onto this rom as he has moved almost all of those features into his ROM toolkit found in the settings menu. And after just double checking to see if it was in there, I can confidently report back that it is not.

I know a lot of people frown on the lack of customization in BB but I really don't mind it. I think thats just how he wants his ROMs to be right now. and Pete is basically the godfather of the OG DROID ROMs.
I for one will without doubt load this up and see how he is progressing and think back to the first time I rooted the DROID back in the ADB Shell days.
