If you are talking to me, Home++ is free. I think root explorer is a paid app though. If you don't want root explorer, you can use Titanium Backup to delete apps. However, I'm don't know if you need the paid version of TiBU to delete apps.

Personally, I like root explorer better as you can verify the exact location of where you are navigating where as TiBU only shows you the app, but not the install location.

ES File explorer works nicely also.

Oh yea, I seem to have forgotten about that one.

Just installed UD 2 without a hitch. No bugs, everything is working great. I would like kernal recommendations that play nice with this ROM. So far, head and shoulder above my last ROM!

Droids are real touchy when it comes to kernels. One kernel that works for one person may not work for another.

With that said, I am using Chevy's 1.1 LV kernel and it works great for me.

Thanks Kratos! I just wanted to make sure I put something compatable, and didn't cause me to go into bootloop. BTW, I have found no bugs in this ROM yet. Installed in less that 20 seconds.

BTW, where can I find that Kernel? Is it a 10 slot?

Follow the directions I gave in an earlier post today at 0918. Except, don't worry about downloading and installing a launcher and delete the facebook app instead of the LP app.

chevy's v3 kernels here:
Index of /froyo/kernels3

however, i would recommend using something with an interactive governor if you can. while all of his version 3 kernels worked with this ROM for me, they no longer include the interactive governor as an option. his version 2 kernels did include the option and all of them booted fine for me on BuglessBeast, but they all bootlooped when combined with UD.

with that in mind, i am running one of slayher's kernels, available here:
Froyo Kernels by slayher - CyanogenMod Forum

it does include the interactive governor and works well with UD... at least on my phone.

Thanks. Any of them, or is one specifically better? Which one do you use?

i used Chevy's v2 1.1 gHz ultra low voltage (found here) with BuglessBeast, but have since switched to Slayher's 1.2 gHz low voltage since chevy's v2's all bootlooped for me with UD. Slayher's seem to run a little hotter than Chevy's on my phone, but the interactive governor is a must for me, so that is a the one i went with. P3Droid also makes proven kernels that you may want to look into (P3Droid Kernels) but i have found that his run extremely hot for me in addition to lacking the interactive option.

just remember that droid processors are tricky. if you have not tried any before, i would recommend saving multiple kernels to your SD card before you start changing things. some people can run all the way up to 1.25 gHz, some can only run 800 mHz. some people can run ultra low voltage kernels, some can only run stardard voltage ones. chevy's work best for some, slayher's best for others, and P3's for some as well. it really is a crap shoot. start with a 1.2gHz low voltage and see if it will boot, if not try a 1.2 standard voltage, then 1.1 low voltage, 1.1 standard voltage, etc, until you find one that works well for you. luckily, you won't do any permanent damage to your phone by loading a "bad" kernel. as long as you have saved multiples to your SD, simply pull the battery, reboot into recovery, and load up the next one.

Is there still the option to change the lockscreen to the "rotary" style?

Yes.

Yep. Settings > Ultimate Settings > Ultimate Droid Extras > LockScreens

Thanks for your patience. Now, at the risk of sounding stupid How do I know which one is the Slayher's 1.2 gHz low voltage? Several are listed there. My luck I would install the wrong one!

and, as always, the file needs to be renamed to update.zip correct?

I swear, one of these days I won't be a noob anymore....

using SPRecovery, yes. using ClockworkMod Recovery found in ROM Manager (free in market), no.

installed it as soon as I got home today (about an hour ago) and love it even better then 1.0.0

If you have ROM Manager (found in market and I highly suggest if you don't), run Fix Permissions. This can often fix most, if not all, FC issues.

This ROM was very VERY wonky for me. Lots of LP redraws, very hiccupy. Tried several kernals but nothing changed. Battery life was awesome and I loved all of the tweaks available, but in the end, performance is top priority and I had to uninstall for the new version of LFY 1.95. So far so good on that.

Although I can run LFY with no FCs, it's the worst battery hog I've ever experienced. It's growing quite obvious to me that DROIDs seem to belong in one of two camps. The LFY camp, OR the UD camp. Never the twain shall meet. Thank goodness (and the devs) for both ROMs being made available to our community of DROID owners.

1.9 gave me very odd battery readings. I'm hoping whatever changes they made to 1.95 that the battery readings were addressed. Other than that, my Droid LOVES this ROM. UD just doesn't seem to sit right on my phone, for one reason or another. Shame really, b/c the devs do a really nice job on UD
