Root [ROM] UD 2.4 Gingerbread goodness out now!!

[The_Chief]

Amen Messenger! Since 2.3 I have had NO inclination to flash a faster kernel. Smooth, fast and long-lasting... what's not to love

 

[androidlover14]

Well....I flashed another kernel just for quadrant testing and that went by pretty well but since then I have stayed at 900 mhz. I have gotten my best score ever tho in 1759 with the slayher 1.2 and this rom. Barely see a difference tho with this one and 2.3 except it does seem smoother.

Just a thought, with the FRG83D rolling out to stock Droids, I was wondering if there would be any difference in market apps, and if/when Black Droid will be updating the ROM Identifier to FRG83D. I remember reading that though these last couple updates were in fact based off of 83, he kept it IDed as 22 for the market apps reasons. Any thoughts on this???

I seem to be having such a problem with rom manager..... I downloaded the ultimate to my pc, copied to sd card, said "INSTALL ROM FROM SD CARD" and away it went....rebooted and hung at the exclamation point.

What does that mean? (sorry for the newbie question)

PS I sucessfully did a nandroid backup right before - this is my first custom rom. derhhh

I honestly don't understand why anyone flashes a different kernel. I have ZERO lag ... ZERO! The only thing a faster clocked kernel would do for me is consume battery. There was a time when I was running my DROID at 1.3GHz. But these UD ROMs simply don't need to be that over-clocked. 800Mhz is all I need.

To each his/her own. Just sayin'...

The P3 kernel allows me to clock down to 125 for idle and gives me enough speed to cut out any lag. All the 125/800 kernels seem to have a bit of jump in them. The stock kernel is 250/800. At 125 I can use half the power at idle where the phone is most of time.

No. They're all there.

 

[ronaldramsayii]

No. They're all there.

That's what I like about UD over CyanogenMod....the ROM seems much cleaner and smoother. Their ROMs are generally smaller to, even with Gapps included.... I'm runnin P3's 1.2Ghz at 1.1Ghz max.....it's smoothe as ever....lol

It sounds like you don't have a custom recovery installed and it's just going into he stock one. Go back into ROM Manager and reflash Clockwork Recovery. Then try to install the ROM again.

I think you're right. I seem to have to keep reflashing.

I can not find the gingerbread keyboard...where is it?

I can not find the gingerbread keyboard...where is it?

Did you look in setting>Language & Keyboards ?

 

[cyberclaus]

Has anyone tried going from 2.1 to 2.4 without a wipe? 2.3 and 2.4 came out so quickly I didn't have time to upgrade to 2.3.

 

[Picaso86]

Does it have any flaws at all? I am afraid of flashing. I heard that UD ROMs have lots of problems... : /


side note: I am currently running LF v1.3 Chevy kernel 1.0ghz...

 

[The_Chief]

What problems have you heard about? I haven't hit a snag yet... this is as close to the perfect ROM as I can find!

 

[SinfulDragon]

The only issue I'm having is trying to get Voice Search and YouTube updated... and I'm not even sure thats the ROMs fault.
Its smooth, fast, battery is very good, running another kernel is pointless..... Its really hard to ask for more from this ROM though I'm sure that before too long, BD is gonna give us exactly that.

 

[gsxr310]

i cannot find the keyboard here. any other suggestions?

I did this with ROM Manager and it worked fine. No issues after two days.

This ROM is damn near perfect. You may want to do a Titanium BackUp and data wipe your phone, but otherwise this ROM is to good to pass up right now.

The Gingerbread keyboard is named Android Keyboard in the settings, under language and keyboard. However you won't see the ones in the videos, if you've seen them in videos, because UD themed it. I took the themed one out and put the regular one in.....I like the stock Gingerbread Keyboard....

I think you have to flash it thru Clockwork (dont use Rom Manager) after that go to settings/keyboard and check "android keyboard" ... hope it helps...

Uninstall the app(s) with Titanium Backup, reboot, and download from the Market.

 

[linuxmel]

Can someone give an explanation of what the different options in setting>Ultimate settings>Built in over clocking>scaling governor.
I know they seem to be mostly self explanatory, but just wanted to have further info. Thanks in advance.

I'm officially in love with this ROM. It is my first UD ROM, so I can't speak for any previous versions. Previously I was a loyal LFY user and before that it was LithiumMod/Kangerade. I stumbled upon a thread about UD 2.3 and couldn't believe how many options were available for customization. When I read that 2.4 was days away I readied my phone for flashing.

And regarding the previous members who spoke of the stock 800Mhz kernel being fine, they are correct. Initially I flashed a Slayher 1.1Ghz kernel (my usual go-to), but after playing around with some themes I reverted back to my stock backup. But this backup had the stock kernel on it and it didn't dawn on me that I was running 800Mhz for nearly 18 hours. I never noticed a difference - except for what was an obvious increase in battery life and decrease in CPU temps. Speed-wise I see nothing different.

I wonder who that intelligent being might have been.
