DEAR ADM1N: LAMENESS OVER 9000!!1111
Full untouched signed SBF from for the Verizon Droid 2.
Took me awhile to find it so I figured I'd post it.
Thanks! Saw similar post over @ MDW also. Downloaded.Then I let 'em know over @ RootzWiki, where a few got excited!

Sure makes flashing custom roms much less a pain in the ass. Also this 1 click root tool works flawlessly on a fresh install of gb. http://www.psouza4.com/Bionic/
Checked out the latest MIUI rom for the d2, found it over at rootzwiki. Can't say i was all that impressed by it. Seems to me to be a bad iphone wanna be rom. I gave it about a day and flashed back to froyo. Tried to flash cyanogens latest 139 build but it didn't wanna happen, so i just returned my phone to froyo.
Kinda sucks working with custom roms on the d2, due to the locked bootloader.

13th angel is working on CyanogenMod 9 [BETA] (D2) it is getting close depends on what you need to work
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-2-roms/199227-cyanogenmod-9-beta-d2.html
I tried miui 2.2.10 and it just seemed to be way to buggy for me. No keyboard lights, i know there's a fix for that. But still its something so small it makes me wonder what else didn't work. The camera seemed to work correctly. It just seemed like it was a FC nightmare. Apps either were slow to open or didn't open at all. And i'm talking about simple things like the dialer.
I do still intend to install Cyanogen just to check it out.
2.2.10 is running without issue for me. The keyboard lights thing is minor, so if that turns you off of a a Rom I'd say it's likely nothing will please you because CM has issues of its own. Regardless, both are great Roms with tons of options you won't get from stock.. Considering how laggy and buggy stock GB is I'm not sure what there is to complain about, but to each his own.
2.2.10 is running great for me to. Tried CM9 and it runs well but no camera is a drawback.
Yeah i decided to give miui (2.2.10) another try and yes it seems to be pretty solid. I was surprised to see pretty much 99% of my froyo apps work as is, without upgrading. The ones that didn't i simply upgraded and they work. What i think happened before was i just didn't get a clean install for whatever reason and it made things super glitchy. Like i said the dailer barely worked at all in the last install, but on this one i haven't had it fc yet so im thinking it was a install problem. Other things also work that didn't before like volume+. Its a nice rom once you tailor it to you're liking. All in all i get around the same battery life as i did with froyo. Which is around 2 and a half hours gaming, 10 hours normal use. I used to use green power and that would increase my battery standby to like 15-16 hours. Anyone know of any tips with miui? People have reported getting like 40 hours? I realize not all batteries are created equal obviously but whats the average you guys are seeing?
Extended battery--real Moto, not seidio or any of those--leaves me around 60% battery at the end of every day. I turn syncing off with power control, use auto brightness which is way better on MIUI than it ever was on Froyo or GB, and get rid of any apps that decide that they can run as often as they like.

I'm going to be obtaining an old Hero from a family member, mainly just to experiment with rooting. It will be the first device I will be using ever that will be rooted. So I'm wondering how I should root, what root apps to download, and what the best rom is.

The easiest method would be to use the Root mod in the Development section.
Best ROM? I love Cyanogenmod, so check out the nightly.

The thread started by Robbie has the nightly link. In fact, it has all of the links to Cyanogenmod goodness.

Sorry for stirring up the dust in this thread!
My daughter is getting a Hero for her Sprint number and I have offered to help her root and ROM it.
I have some experience with a G1, Droid 1, and Incredible 2. I have mostly used CyanogenMod on my phones and always overclocked and set up swap for better performance.
I'm looking around in this section for more information about doing this stuff on the Hero.
Is there a favorite kernel that people like?
What overclock / undervolting / swap strategies do people use?
Thanks in advance!

Holy crap, we got the phone and what a bear it's been trying to root and flash a recovery image.
Got root with z4, but recovery is kicking my butt.
ROM Manager would be my first choice, but it doesn't seem to be available for the Hero anymore.
Manually flash via adb gets shut down with "flash_image not found"
Frack!
Seems like some people have found old versions of ROM Manager somewhere on the Internet and then flash recovery ok.

Backing up the stock/rooted Sense now... next stop CM7.2
Result :
CM7.2 nightly 9-9 running pretty solid. I oc'd to just under 800MHz (max) with Incredicontrol and cleaned off a couple of system apps with TiBU.
It will run Angry Birds, but not very smoothly. Better than the stock ROM, anyway.
I see otterbox cases for it on Amazon for $10. Probably get one of those to keep the phone from suffering the fate of the last one.
We'll see how the daughter does with it.

Sorry for missing your initial posts. As far as the otterbox goes, I have a defender and it's kept the phone alive for the past 3 years, so I think it's a good investment. It basically doubles the thickness of the phone but to me it's not horrible.
Hi! I was beginning to think I'd found the Siberia of the Internet. LOL
Thanks for your response!
Daughter is complaining about the phone being slow, but she likes to complain so I'm not peeved.
Any suggestions for speeding the phone up or bulletproofing would be appreciated greatly.
Speaking of bulletproofing, anyone ever ran the v6 supercharger scripts?
There's also mention around here of something called firerat. I'll have to figure that out.

I've had my RAZR M since March and love it. So much more powerful than my Sony Ericsson Xperia Play. I'm not new to flashing ROMs or overclocking, having begun my Android experience with the LG Ally and Eclair.
In my previous experience, there was a huge need for customizing the phone because the stock version as provided by Verizon was less than stable and/or slower than desirable. But this RAZR M seems awesome once you get rid of the bloat. I haven't had any issues with lag, connectivity, apps, etc. It's really a decent phone for my purposes.
I have already unlocked the boot loader and rooted it, backed it up, blown it away, customized stock, used Matt's utility to restore it, used rsdlite, etc. I've even scared the crap out of myself with a few soft bricks. Now I want to do more.
When I look at the threads for the various ROMs, I've noticed they are all pretty similar and they all tend to break something. Since most seem to be a derivative of JB, I see little reason to be tempted by them. Just a different roll of the same thing.
Obviously, I'm overlooking something here, some reason other than "because I can" that makes using a custom ROM version of generic JB better than stock JB. How is 4.2.2 different than 4.1.2 for instance? If custom is less stable or has some unresolved feature issues, how is it still better than stock? Is over clocking necessary (as it was with the Ally and the Play), or even noticeable? I would really appreciate some useful and honest feedback here. No wisecracks, please. This is a serious inquiry.
Thank you for your kind attention.

Personally, I just wanted something new and different than stock. I got my M when it first came out and didn't flash any roms until this past month. The big differences that I have noticed running a 4.2.2 based rom are that the camera seems to respond quicker, and when I set defaults they stick through reboot.
The problem with the defaults was one of my biggest gripes with the stock rom. Every time that I would reboot my phone, the defaults would clear and that drove me crazy.
Now as far as problems that I have noticed on the 4.2.2 roms, the only one that I really have is with recording video. It does not seem to want to pick up audio correctly and you can barely hear anything on playback. Also the front facing camera doesn't work for recording videos.
On the plus side of custom roms is that you do get more options to get the ui to look and feel how you want it to. And no, you don't have to over clock on this phone.
The best thing that I could say is flash carbon or pacman rom and play with it for a day or two and see how you like it.

on the surface, you are correct. however, there are some custom ROMs that give us JB 4.2.2 before it is officially released to us. here's a link to the new features: http://www.android.com/about/jelly-bean/
so, in addition to the new features, some custom ROMs offer various mods/tweaks. some claim to give better battery performance, others block ads, others reduce lag (although, that is mostly kernel related). so, just as calbrs stated, give one of them a try for a few days (make a nandroid of your current setup first though), and see how you like it.
problem for me though, as much I as should be on 4.1.2, I really enjoy being on the latest/greatest build, as I get to experience more features. and so long as my battery performance doesn't suffer too much, I'll stick on 4.2.2 for now.
Well, I've tried both Carbon and PAC and then settled on PAC. Quite honestly, I don't see a whole lot of actual performance difference. It IS cool to be running a custom ROM though. PIE is a pain as it always seems to pop up when I don't want it but has that What's That factor if you want to wow someone. And I do like having a custom lockscreen. Otherwise.... I guess I don't get it.
But then again, maybe I'm just old! Lol!

in terms of 4.2.2 over 4.1.2, correct - it's mostly aesthetics. but the performance is hardly noticeable since the M is already fairly quick.
some custom 4.1.2 ROMs, however, do offer better battery life (in part due to debloating, others have tweaks).
but if the performance difference is negligible to you, then why not stick to 4.2.2?
also, did you try the unofficial AOKP?
finally, some of these custom ROMs also have the latest kernels, which can help in terms of keeping your data connection.

Well, after a week of ROM testing, here is what the results have been so far:
Carbon comes out on top in a very close battle with Slimbean. What made the difference? Support. Slimbean is actually the better of the 2 ROMs in so many areas, but no updates since May 2013 means important tweaks and a functional camcorder are missing. Carbon is kept current, so if something is fixed in the Base version, it won't be long until we see it in Carbon.
I also worked with PAC, Paranoid, AOKP and CM 10.1. Each had its merits but were eliminated for various reasons. I did not look at any ROM that was not a 4.2.2 version.
I must confess, if Slimbean is ever updated to the latest 4.2.2 version, I will be taking another look.

so what was your reason for eliminating AOKP? this has been the best for me so far. although, I did not give carbon a fighting chance, as on first boot it was extremely laggy. but i'm re-considering....
If you have the time I would love a rom by rom review of what you did and didn't like. I'm in the market for a 4.2.2 rom and don't know where to start. I'm really looking to just settle on one and not have to try out a bunch.
Sent from my XT907 using xda app-developers app
To be perfectly candid, I really can't say there was anything "wrong" with it. It just didn't catch my attention in the same manner that Slimbean and Carbon did.
Today I realized I did not try Eclipse because I erroneously thought it was a 4.1 or 4.0 version ROM. I'll be giving it a go later tonight.
Quite honestly, I think it all comes down to personal preference more than performance. Depending on what apps you use, they all are pretty similar. What runs better is really more about your own hardware, how you use it, your selection of apps and your expectations as to how the phone ought to perform.

I'll give my experience, but to each their own:
PACMan:
most customizable, very stable, worst on battery life, dev is pretty good at posting updates (he only posts when there is a significant update)
AOKP:
very customizable, fairly stable, best battery life, dev is very responsive, interactive, and post updates daily
Carbon:
very customizable, most stable, dev is very responsive, interactive, and post updates daily;
CM10.1:
(stock, basically): haven't tried it
Slimbean:
very customizable, dev is non-existent; however, I gave this a go for about an hour as well, but dismissed it due to lack of customization when compared to PACMan
Orion:
very customizable, very stable, dev is very responsive, interactive, and post updates routinely; however, I gave this a go for about a day, but did not like the blackout themes/sounds/etc. but that was awhile ago, so I certainly owe this ROM another chance
Eclipse:
haven't tried it
Axoim
haven't tried it
JellyBeer
haven't tried it
This is perfect! Before reading this I was leaning to AOKP or Cyanogen. I like how customizable AOKP is and I like the updates and stability from Cyanogen. (from what I've read) I want a rom that is stable stable stable as I wouldn't consider myself a power user. Thanks for posting this!

See what I mean though. He dismissed Slimbean because it was not as customizable as PACman. I dismissed PACman as being too complicated, too customizable!
Hate to tell you this, Jersey846, but you probably will need to try a few yourself before you know what's right for you.
BTW, thus far Eclipse is proving to be very stable. I haven't had any noticeable lag, signal seems stable and comparable to what I normally see in my area. Looking good so far!
Orion, eh... Have to check that out...

Bootloader is locked meaning no customs roms until then unless you go with the safe strap method and from what I seen people are having problems with memory and some crashing of the problems and if you have a 8.9 hdx safe strap is not supported but I have faith in this community and belive we will have roms in the future

So custom ROMs are totally possible, and I'm sure there will be one or two soon, but the issue as stated above is the bootloader is locked. This means no custom kernels which means no AOSP ROMs. This currently rules out Cyanogen, AOKP, Paranoid Android, everything like that. Everything will be Fire OS based until the bootloader is unlocked. Before yesterday there wasn't even working Play Store downloading. Progress is being made, and the bootloader could be unlocked in a couple weeks, or it may never happen. Until then you just got to stick with what we've got, which is pretty nice as far as I'm concerned. The hardware is quite nice, and with a custom launcher and Gapps Fire OS isn't terrible.
Thank you! Good to know

Well, i have one based on stock almost ready With all amazon stuff removed and full google experience. I still have a few noob problems but i think it shoud be ready after christams.
Also note that any rom could be ported even CM thanks to safestrap. The kernel is not a problem. Im not sure i'll have the time to do so but if so i'll prove it

these companies are getting better at locking them, and there is less and less incentive for people to break them. look at the bounty thread.. only 145 bucks. i have a Moto X which is over 1000 dollars and that still hasn't gotten cracked. i wouldn't hold on to the kindle hoping it will get cracked... if i didn't have amazon instant i would probably send this thing back (i may anyway, as i'm having wifi issues)

Even if the boot loader didn't get unlocked working google play and a custom loader or exposed is all you really need and all are somewhat working now. I have almost every tablet ever made in this household. Nearly all have boot loaders either bypassed or broken. Already the 7 inch boot loader has been bypassed on this, a new device. The truth is the more popular a device is the quicker it is modded. If sales are high on this device it is likely to get dev attention. Try not to be such a Debbie downer

Exactly, thank you!
I have been around Android since the beginning and have to say that out of all devices I have seen or bought.... this one has the least amount of bloat and is one of the best...
Quad core running 2.2ghz, 2gb ram??? nothing I have thrown at it has lagged or been slow!
Best tablet out right now, fast, portable, good battery life and did I mention it is easy on your wallet too? lol

Recon that! If only we could have working widgets and some fully working alternative launcher .. Play store doesn't bother me that much, since I get all the apps either from an alternative store or I download them on my phone and sent them to the tablet, so no big deal till now.

Well the device was a gift I can't just bring it back.
Basically Amazon banned me for some dumb ass reason literally like my neighbor got in trouble so now I can't use it. and when I try to buy **** on the kindle I can't use that store either so I am praying that there is some type of movement on the boot loader because otherwise this going to be one expensive paper weight.

I'm not sure you are following. 1mobile market and or side loaded apk's along with a custom loader bypasses all of what you just said right now. Also, in the last few days, the play store has even been made to download on both the 7 inch and 8.9. In other words go to the general section and read, root, and install working play store on kindle and then use apex and wallpaper fix with widgets and you basically have a Google tablet with an Amazon options bar. As people get exposed framework going it will get even better than that. Boot loader crack is not necessary to make this a Google tablet. As for pure Google well that would be great for some, or cm 10.3 for others but in the end all of that is really just ui and a few options. The necessities of downloading from Google market and some customization can all be accomplished right this second. I have very few apps from Amazon on my tablet in fact. Most are Google market apps. As the bright boys spend more time with this tablet it will become even easier for the less experienced users to accomplish these things as well.

How in the hell does one get banned from amazon?!?
i am looking for a good stable daily driver and came across one that i think is gonna be a keeper for a while. but i am curious to see who likes what and for what reasons. Battery? Speed? Bloat? Style? i also think it would be cool if you added a link to the Roms thread so people can try out your favorite for themselves. i am currently flashing up the ladder to achieve the proper build that will allow me to flash the new rom without hiccups and will give my 2sense when i have had a chance to give it a throttling.

Agreed.
Tried them all and absolutely loving Sacs Note 5 Moar port. You can't get it on the forums - you have to pm Sac and he will invite you to his hangout.
Only negative on this rom is battery life. If you are one of the folks out in the wilderness with no power or just afraid or to lazy to plug your phone in - this might not be the best rom for you. Though some folks do get good battery life. Some do not.

Looking forward to trying the new hybrid moar port that is coming.

I'm on rooted OK1, nothing fancy, no custom ROM, just a couple Xposed modules for battery life, Nova Launcher and a few simple tweaks, otherwise fully stock.

That underground moar port isn't something that I would recommend to anybody. It is not able to be publically released here at xda-developers.com because permission was denied to port that rom for very good reasons. Secondly that rom was not built correctly and it has major problems and will most certainly overheat and damage your cpu and/or battery. I do not recommend anyone to flash or run that underground rom. There's a good reason why it is not a publically released rom and why it has yet to be finished and done correctly. He would have to copy my work to resolve his issues if he hasn't already. Ofcourse i have seen him state that he is going to rebase his N5 ports with my rom. Waiting for that o be posted so we can finally get rid of this type of behavior once and for all. Too bad he can't build his own rom from scratch like I did.
So no this is not a rom that should be recommended to the OP. Just my opinion and my advice to those who are unaware of these things. People deserve to know.
Yes man i really like your n5 port im using it..
