So many problems with it now!

So I flashed this about a week ago and everything went smoothly, loved the Rom but now I'm having some problems with it. For one, it'll pick up phone calls but keep ringing and the other person can't hear me (although, I can hear them). I also can't hang up when it does this as it doesn't display anything underneath the contact picture. When I first installed this it was lightning fast and smooth, now it's slow and choppy, my applications keep force closing - including the default home launcher Go launcher. I can't get anywhere with this Rom anymore, I came from CM7 and that was slow and choppy on my phone but it doesn't compare to this - my phone is unusable and I'm currently looking for another Rom right now. I hope it's just me having these problems, it was an awesome Rom in the beginning.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] TEK112:
Did you do a fresh install? If you made it this far without issues, you should probably boot into recovery and wipe cache. Then, you should lock your dialer into memory if you think the dialer hangs too often. That experience with being unable to answer is due to a lack of available resources when the phone needs it. Like playing a game and the phone getting a call. it usually does not have enough horsepower to manage the two. You may want to raise your low end using the built in cpu manager.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] josh3794:
I've been having a similar issue with answering calls.

I answer the call and I can hear the person on the other end but they can't hear me. Also it sometimes goes to the external speaker as well.

I thought it might be an issue with the phone hardware but I have tried 3 other roms and I have not had this issue with any of them. So I came back to this rom and the first call came in before I did anything else and it went to the external speaker and I had the same problem.

And yes I did a complete wipe before the install and I have tried wiping the cache after install. It did not help.

I'm going to give SD10 a shot when Chevy release it and see if I have the same problem.

Other then that I love the rom over any others I have tried.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] TEK112:
As silly as it sounds, a clean install is not enough. It has been shown that reformatting the internal sdcard will relieve these issues.

This will obviously wipe everything on your card, pics, etc...
[Motorola Droid Android Development] josh3794:
I have no tried formatting my SD card yet.

My only question would be why just this ROM? Every other Rom (9 in total) I have tried I have not had this issue. Just this one.

I'll try formatting the SD card when I try out SD 10 when it's released and hopefully it works.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] TEK112:
It is a known bug. It also has occurred on CM 7, Liquid and MIUI, to name a few. While you may not personally have experienced it I can definitely say it happens elsewhere.

The formatting of the sdcard did it for me. You can always make backups of everything and start from out of the box condition and if it still persists, restore all of your backups and switch ROMs.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] NeoandGeo:
I am getting a new OG Droid for another line on my account tomorrow. Can I leave the phone at the stock 2.0/2.0.1, whatever it comes with out of the box, root with Universal Androot, install SPRecovery/CWM recoveries and then install this ROM and be good to go? I haven't had this phone in over a year, so I know very little about it anymore.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] TEK112:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Motorola_Droid:_Full_Update_Guide

Here is the guide, just install SD instead of CM.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] NeoandGeo:
Does that root and install SPRecovery/CWM/SU?

Also does the way I listed not work?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] TEK112:
It may, but I didn't want to give you bad info. I am sure that one click root would give you root. The market will give you su. Rom Manager would give you clockwork.

It has been a long time for me too! 2 years ago I rooted my device and never needed to re-root it.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] CypherWolf:
my phone stays at new boot animation. it's going in a loop for about 10 minutes now...? i don't know what happen, someone explain.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] TEK112:
The first boot may take 15 minutes. If it takes longer, like 20 or more, something is wrong. Just hold the power button to force it off. Then, reboot normally, if loop persists reboot into recovery and wipe data/cache/dalvik (wiping data will delete everything except what is on your sdcard) and reboot again. I assume since you are just installing this that you did a clean install? If not, you need to.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] CypherWolf:
yea i got it to work. the boot was taking too long that i got scared for a bit there. anyway, i got this install and mess around with it last night. but because i wipe all data, i cannot do a factory reset anymore???
[Motorola Droid Android Development] TEK112:
I don't understand what this means. Factory reset is the same as wiping data and is done in clockworkmod. I'm not sure what you are asking.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] CypherWolf:
i mean, going to setting>privacy>factory reset doesn't work now. so i have to do this through the "clockworkmod" recovery menu?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] TEK112:
Yes, and that is the way you should always do full wipes. Well, at least on rooted phones.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] josh3794:
Ok so I did a complete wipe of the data and cache, I wiped the dalvik cache, i formatted the SD card. i even went back to my stock rom then repeated the above before installing Steel Droid. My calls still go to the external speaker. Every single one of them now.

I have gone back to CM 7 for the time being. Once SD10 is released i'll give it a shot. I really like the rom. When I have some spare time maybe I'll try putting a different kernal on it and see if maybe that makes a difference.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] TEK112:
Have you tried flashing a redownloaded version of the ROM? It may be a bad flash.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] josh3794:
Yes. The last run through I re-downloaded the rom before I flashed it.

I had that problem with an old WM 6.1 phone so I made sure I got a fresh download.

I'm thinking it's something either in a setting somewhere or in the kernel. I may try a new kernel with it and see if thats maybe causing the problem. It's the last thing I have to try.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] TEK112:
I highly recommend Chevy's ULV 1.25GHz kernel.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] josh3794:
I'm running Chevy's 1.1ghz lv Kernel. I have tried the ULV kernels. My phone doesn't care for them much. the 1.1 works very well with my phone.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] TEK112:
Yeah, you have to find that nice balance. I found that my phone only liked ULV on some ROMs and and others need Low or even Medium voltage to operate correctly.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] SilentTweak:
Does S2E work on this?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] chevycam94:
Finally! An update! This one is massive! More than one phone in this one! Also, more two theme choices!
[Motorola Droid Android Development] TheLoonyRebel:
Amazing ROM. Great work!

Running very smooth on my og droid which I really on ly use for aa media device since its not acgtually in service but I stll test on it and wow what an improvment even like it more than liquid roms. Came from miui with ult iphone theme and this is just so smooth thanks I can honestly say oif my rezoiund were to have issues or get lost I wouldn't have a prob reverting with this for a while
[Motorola Droid Android Development] dman1049:
After a day of use here's my issues. Phone lost wifi. Phone while trying to make a call got stuck in call and it never dialed or rang so I pulled battery and fixed it. It wouldn't send any SMS so I pulled battery and fixed it. I randomly loose service even tho the 3g says its receiving signal. Its do t the random loosing of signal and not having network on every Tom I have tried so I'm thinking its something with my phone. Any idea's? After all this I do like this Tom more than anything I have tried.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] DRSdroid:
i'm looking to root a friends old droid. He wants to use it as a wifi mediaplayer & to edit, check, and maintain his google docs.. that's about it. My question is does this rom have SWAP support in the kernel? Does it allow OC? and does it have Apps2sdext built in?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] TEK112:
If it is only being used as what you said it negates the need for swap and apps2sd. However, it is overclockable to 1200. Just make sure your remove the phone components to reduce the overhead.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] DRSdroid:
i agree about swap.. but due to the incredibly low storage space on the device i would definitely like to use an sd-ext partition. Can anyone tell me how to set it up on this ROM. I have the partition already made on the sd card
[Motorola Droid Android Development] M118AA11:
I just want to say thanks, I recently bricked my Droid 3, and thankfully I kept my OG droid at the bottom of a box in a deep damp dark dungeon. I charged it up did a hard reset whiped it and then searched for a ROM to bring this beast back from the abyss.

I thank you sweet sweet Steel Droid 10, I like it more then I ever liked my Droid 3
[Motorola Droid Android Development] chevycam94:
Updated the OP with ALL the changes from my official release thread on DroidForums.net. Major changes. Sorry for the delay here, I spend a bit more time at DF than I do here.

Thanks bro greatly appreciated!!
[Motorola Droid Android Development] TakashiMoto:
Wow very impressed, my old Droid 1 is now a kickass wifi only device running IP Cam Viewer, LBE Privacy Guard, and Dropbox.

The only way i could do it was to sideload the apk's, play store said those apps were not compatible with the device.

Is there any way to fix that? It's a bit annoying. previous version of steel droid worked fine.

Thank you so much! Your Steel Droid with ICS theme makes it a joy to use!

P.S. is 800MHZ the max? didn't the previous v9 go to 1ghz?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] droid_noobie:
Where did you get the ICS theme? I am running this since two days, but could not find any links to the iCS themed steel droid. I am running Unthemed version.:confused:

i cannot get swype to install to this at all? just pops up as swype has unexpectedly stopped. No matter what version i install. is swype supported on this?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] chevycam94:
The build your trying to use might not be compatible. I dont use swype on my D1, it doesnt seem to want to work fast enough to be useful. But I use the GNex daily.

v5.1 Beta Build 2 for the DroidX doesn't install. I've tried on 2 phone, both error out with:

Installing system...
assert failed: run_program("/tmp/check_kernel")

E:Error in /sdcard/Download/SDX_5100_BETA_2.zip

Installation aborted.

I've tried on a couple different kernels, all result in the same error.

I also tried re-downloading.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] Beanerman:
I'm using the V4-ICS for the DX. Everything works great. The only thing I noticed is some of the app Icons are NOT ICS. According to the screenshots on the OP for cm7 and ICS anyway. For example, the messaging Icon is still green but the Contacts Icon is ICS.

Anyway very nice Rom. Thanks chevy.

Update: 1-30-2013

10 days and no real problems. Nice! My only thing is it seems to drain battery quite fast when on a call. Any other time it does fine.

After 12hrs without a call, using wifi and apps, dropped about 60%. With about 45 mins worth of phone calls and 5hrs usage, dropped about 50%.

I never really tested and checked the battery stats before this, so I was wondering if it's normal drainage.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] bundee1:
Does USB otg work on this rom with the OG Droid? I would love to use this with a USB DAC.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] mrxtokki:
working darn well on OG Droid! broke my Samsung GNex :(

wish the ram can do a lil better ;/ only 44mb avail lol
[Motorola Droid Android Development] phonetool:
You can get some back by dumping apps. Tough choices sometimes, though. Also moving apps to the SD card helps, but not as much as an outright purge.

-MROM on DInc2
[Motorola Droid Android Development] TheLoonyRebel:
The best ROM out right now for the original Droid. Very smooth and nice theme to it.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] :
I agree with previous posts. Steel Droid is the best Rom for the Droid 1 (i.e., original Samsung Droid). It runs pretty stable, relatively fast, and its UI looks great. Over time, the Rom does slow down a bit. However Steel Droid is still much quicker than CyanogenMod 7. Thanks for making an old phone useful again! I'm looking forward to the v12 already.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] chevycam94:
I know I havent posted updated to my ROM here in quite some time, but Im actually updating it right now. You can check out my gerrit to see the changes that are happening. Its not always up and running, about half the time.

Just to let you know, I will probably be trying to build this soon. Can I assume the directions at

still work?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] pingpong1109:
I have the Sholes, and I am so happy to see some people still play around with this device. I am installing right now.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] polymath257:
I got gingerbread to build and install! Very nice.

Now, what can I do for jb?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] TheLoonyRebel:
I'm assuming your ROM is build off the latest source that chevycam94 has, right? If so is there any chance you could upload it so others like myself can help test it? Many thanks in advance.

(Seems like forever since there's been any new ROMs for the Droid 1)
[Motorola Droid Android Development] polymath257:
Yes, it is from chevycam's gingerbread source. I'd be happy to upload it on two conditions:

1. permission from chevycam

also important:

2. a place to upload

I know chevycam has jellybean source, but what I found did not build. I am still very much a newbie at this though.

Update: I have a d-h.st account now. When/if chevycam gives permission, I will publish this ROM.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] chevycam94:
Honestly, that link is really for setting up your computer to build it. The actual commands to BUILD the ROM are much easier, and can be found in the readme here:

https://github.com/SteelDroid/platform_manifest

I will be working on this ROM for a while, so check back every so often for updates. I wont be able to update it as fast or as often as other devs, as I have a full time job, full time college, and family. If you want to see upcoming changes that have yet to be merged, check out my gerrit. Its not always up, as its running on a netbook in my living room, which also means its not blazing fast, but it works, and thats what counts.

http://108.212.138.232:8080/#/q/status:open,n,z

If you want to help contribute, it will have to be through the gerrit, so I can track and test all changes, before they get merged. If you want to help out, register on my gerrit (MUST be with a Gmail account), and send me an email with the gmail account you used to register, and I will set you up.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] polymath257:
Understood. I set up a virtual mint 12 install to do the build. I regularly run a mint 16 and you recommended the earlier releae.

I understand about jobs, family, etc. I have similar constraints. This is a hobby for me, not a profession.

I'll be sending you an e-mail later today.

And the link to my build of chevycam's code. I take no credit other than simply following instructions.

http://d-h.st/AsF
[Motorola Droid Android Development] chevycam94:
Actually, I recommended Mint 12, because I found it more than impossible (and not worth the time) to try to get Gingerbread to build on a newer version. I also run Mint 16 as my main OS for building JB and KK, but it simply laughs at me when I ask it to build GB. lol Mint 13 might work, not sure, but I remember Mint 12 because it had the option to move windows to the sides of the screen to make them exactly half the screen size, like Windows Vista and up does. Good for comparing code, copying files, and viewing two things at once.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] TheLoonyRebel:
Sadly Wifi does not work on this build. :(
[Motorola Droid Android Development] polymath257:
Yep. Chevycam is working on that. I'll post a ROM when one gets built.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] TheLoonyRebel:
Awesome sauce. Thank you so much to both you and Chevy for keeping things going with the Droid 1.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] chevycam94:
Try this one on for size! :D

http://www.sendspace.com/file/3zlcgf

Tested and working WiFi. More still to come.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] TheLoonyRebel:
Okay I finally just got around to installing that test build on my Droid 1. Installs fine with a few minor issues. Wifi works fine.

Issues I've observed:

- The activation prompt comes up for me every time I reboot as my Droid 1 is no longer in service on Verizon (it's basically an overglorified mp3 player and alarm clock). Any chance some kind of option to turn that service off could be added in a future version? That and the triangle in the notification bar (and the signal bar).

- I had issues with Superuser until I updated it. It would constantly ask for permission on Titanium Backup for instance. Or better yet could SuperSU be used instead of Superuser?

Other then that it's running great so far. Running with deprimed kernel easily getting 1ghz max and 250mhz minimum with no issues. Great stuff.
