[Motorola Droid Android Development] qzem:
Can we flash this rom on rooted Motorola Milestone, or only on Motorola Droid? Because milestone has locked bootloader.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] .mak:
I only have a Droid to test this on, and I would assume it only works for Droid.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] shiznit05:
Can this be installed using Clockwork Recovery, or just SP?

EDIT: It does work with Clockwork as well. Installation went smoothly, but no 3G. Installing again.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] .mak:
Thanks for the heads up.

No 3G? That's very odd.. did you try *228 after flashing? I always do, force of habit I guess, and I have 3G.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] shiznit05:
Everything seems to be working now after re-install.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] .mak:
Good deal, enjoy!
[Motorola Droid Android Development] shiznit05:
...noticed one thing. there is black text on black buttons, for example the save buttons when downloading attachments from the email app
[Motorola Droid Android Development] .mak:
Is there another place you noticed black text on black buttons? If not, I'll send myself an attachment and test it out.. but it should be an easy fix, regardless.

-mak
[Motorola Droid Android Development] shiznit05:
...only place I have seen it so far.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] shiznit05:
Besides the black text on black button, this is a very good ROM. It's pretty quick. I haven't noticed much lag, even with a LauncherPro and a bunch of widgets running.

One thing you might think about adding to the next version is ChromeToPhone.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] imablackhat:
great rom, no issues yet, just installed and restored all my apps, pandora also works with no audio issues on high quality. unlike most other 2.2 roms.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] guitar4542:
Look nice :) Installed fine...flash SPRecovery just to be safe. Loving it :D First ROM i've seen with the HTC clock widget. Thanks :D
[Motorola Droid Android Development] imablackhat:
can no longer send audio clips via messaging client, i could on 2.1 roms and stuff. :\, any thoughts? it only lets you record audio and send it, no sending actual audio files *.mp3.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] probbiethe1:
does this rom have the native wifi hotspot that works. i know it says it has wireless tether app pre installed but does it have working native wifi hotspot
[Motorola Droid Android Development] imablackhat:
Random applications open themself.. like skype in the bckgrnd and gotta spam with task killer to kill it and its still coming back, also battery life is pretty poor. Gps, wifi, location, backgrnd data disabled and had to charge the phone twice today with not much use... I think maybe coz stuff in the bckgrnd keeps opening
[Motorola Droid Android Development] .mak:
It has the USB tether enabled by default, but I haven't bothered to try wifi tether aside from the included apps. The wifi tether included is far superior to what I've read Froyo includes, thus the reason it's included :)

Random apps do not open themselves on my phone, what do you have installed? I'm working on 29 hours of battery life with moderate usage myself, so again, what have you downloaded and installed?

Willing to help, but need more info on what you've done besides wipe data/cache and flash the ROM..
[Motorola Droid Android Development] .mak:
Most likely a Froyo issue and not the ROM itself, but I'll look into it further to see if I can iron it out for you :)
[Motorola Droid Android Development] imablackhat:
the problem is ive tried 2 task killers to end things, and they either end it, or they say they did and if you close it and reopen the task killer you'll see it never closed certain things.. Skype Mobile is always on, no matter what, samew ith like Voice Record or whatever, and Contacts, sometimes Market, even without the Applications open (i don't open them ever), it still randomly shows up in my task manager, and won't ever end.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] CCCP4ever:
Installed today on wifes droid. Perfect work without any flaws so far.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] .mak:
This may be something new for Froyo, although it wouldn't make sense for it to work this way.. it's possible that the task killers aren't updated to work with Froyo?

The reason I push the blame to the apps is this is basically a themed stock FRF84B (Froyo) build, no major editing went into it (yet..).

Thanks, glad you like it!!

-----------------------------------------

If I could get 1 or 2 people to check something for me, I'd appreciate it! With SimpleROM installed, please call your Droid from another phone and see if the answer/end buttons are sideways for you..
[Motorola Droid Android Development] rvpartsguy:
looks good .mak, looks like I may be making the change to the Droid, if so this will be the first rom I try
[Motorola Droid Android Development] munjai:
this sounds like a very good rom, but does anyone know if this will work on a milestone? i really hope it does...

Awsome rom...!!!

.MAK----this is the best froyo rom ive used....0 fc issues....and fast...stable...if anyone is reading this thinking about trying this rom....wtf are waiting for....flash this and chill in probably the best thing to hit droid....thanks .mak
[Motorola Droid Android Development] Kanibull:
alternate link

Can someone please post an alternate download link because rapidshare isn't working for me. Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] .mak:
All of these issues could be related to what Clockwork restored, since you said it restored some data from a previous install (?).. I use SPRecovery and don't have these issues. If possible, do a full advanced nandroid backup and flash SimpleROM without restoring your apps/data from your previous install, and see if it still does it. If it does, it's the backup and not the froyo launcher :)

With the 1000Mhz P3 125Mhz-Low Kernel I'm getting almost 16 with Linpack.. with the included 600Mhz kernel I get around 8-9. Speed definitely shouldn't be an issue with SimpleROM, hopefully it's that data that Clockwork restored for you..

May I ask what's the issue with Rapidshare? Maybe I can help get it working for you :)
[Motorola Droid Android Development] .mak:
Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you're enjoying SimpleROM :D
[Motorola Droid Android Development] hd600s:
excuse the ignorence but do you have to be rooted to flash this?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] probbiethe1:
well i am looking for a rom the has native wifi hotspot because the froyo hotspot will broadcast as a normal wireless network and not an ad hoc network like the wireless tether apps you can download
[Motorola Droid Android Development] hd600s:
Anyone? Im an android newbie but i am pretty positive i need it rooted just looking for some confrimation! :D TIA!!
[Motorola Droid Android Development] Tempus Andros:
Wow! I've had my Droid since mid-March, but I just decided to take the plunge and root. This was my first ROM, and was the reason I went for it in the first place. I've gotta say, I love it! Everything is really fast, and I had no real problems setting up. Great job!

The only issue I've run into in the last three days (and it's not even that bad) is that in DolphinBrowserHD, you cannot go into full screen mode. It will say that Fullscreen is on, but the notification bar stays visible. I figure this is probably due to it not being the stock bar or something. Like I said, not a big deal, but it's the only issue I've found!
[Motorola Droid Android Development] .mak:
Yes, you do. It requires SPRecovery, but there are reports that ClockWorkMod Recovery also works (although not officially supported from my end, since I use SPRecovery) as well.

That sounds perfectly reasonable! I'll look into incorporating it into the next revision, since I'm not seeing it in this version (I never bothered to look, to be honest, I always include WiFi Tether in my builds anyway).

The black bar at the top? That's stock, it's just themed to look like the Sense UI bar.. I don't use DolphinHD, but it's possible that's a known issue with it and Froyo? Check out the reviews/comments in the Market to see if others are having issues with it and, if so, report it to the author :)
[Motorola Droid Android Development] pepsi149:
.mak....i been pumpin this rom on every forum i get on....got alot of peeps on it now....and they are all as stocked as i am....almost 7 days and not one issue that i can see....its the real deal....best rom out there..!!!!
[Motorola Droid Android Development] .mak:
Thanks for the word-of-mouth, I'm really happy to see people are enjoying it :)
[Motorola Droid Android Development] hd600s:
I just loaded this up. First impressions...Smooth. Clean install and configuration. Flash works great. Thanks for putting the time into this! Donated!!
[Motorola Droid Android Development] .mak:
Thank you for your donation! I'm glad you're enjoying it :)
[Motorola Droid Android Development] tiequinn:
hey, just got my droid today. I'm so excited. Let me take a moment and say rest in peace to my ole tmobile wing. anyway first thing i did was come to this site of course to grab the 2.2. downloaded the file, renamed it update.zip and placed it in the root of the SD. powered down the phone and did a recovery boot. wiped data/factory reset then wipe cache partition. and selected "apply SDcard:update.zip and got this message "E:signature verification failed" What gives?

Hoping you can help me out buddy

JR:confused:
[Motorola Droid Android Development] .mak:
Which recovery are you using? I don't recognize "apply SDcard:update.zip" but the error is saying the ROM isn't signed, which is true and fine, just wondering which recovery you're using that wants it to be signed?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] zwade01:
Don't "apply sdcard update.zip." Select "allow update.zip."
[Motorola Droid Android Development] tiequinn:
I'm using the default recovery that's on the default ROM. I've not rooted it or modified it in any way. the phone is bone stock
[Motorola Droid Android Development] .mak:
That's the problem there, you need to root and install SPRecovery (..or ClockWorkMod Recovery, but I don't officially support ClockWorkMod Recovery in SimpleROM) to install SimpleROM, or any custom ROMs :)

Here's a great list of tutorials to get you started.

-mak
[Motorola Droid Android Development] tiequinn:
Thanks for the help. i managed to root and install the rom backup utility. Flashed the phone with 2.2 and as far as I can tell it is an awesome rom. Thank you many times over
[Motorola Droid Android Development] JoeProcopio:
FYI...I installed this inside Rom Manager recovery, over BB 0.4, did not wipe, everything seems to be working just fine...so far....if I run into any issues, i will wipe and start from scratch...but I really like the look of this rom, simple is nice, better than stock...and speed is pretty good. I'm backing up as we speak and will isntall Chevyulv1.2 as that seems to be the best kernel on my phone as of late...and we'll see what happens, lol.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] mgstealth:
Hey all,

I will be coming over from a G1 pretty soon and im very excited that I will be getting a Droid. SimpleRom seem to be the best rom out there for the droid, from what I have read, but I noticed that it doesnt have apps2sd? Is this because the droid has like 256MB of storage? Just out of curiosity will this rom ever have apps2sd? or is this not of importance in the droid world?

And also for overclocking what exactly is low voltage vs. standard voltage kernels? Once I get the droid I want to overclock to 800 mHz or maybe more. Which is recommended?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] JoeProcopio:
I'm using ChevyNo1's ulv 800 which seems to be a good compromise between speed and battery life. I believe the voltage affects the higher speeds to allow the phone to run cooler at faster speeds... hope this helps.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] mgstealth:
Can you post a link to it please. Have you tried going higher than that?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] [ L ]:
(Sorry about the double post)
[Motorola Droid Android Development] [ L ]:
I downloaded this on my phone and used ROM Manager to install this and after finishing it it reset my phone and put it on the original factory settings at android 2.0 (still rooted though).

I really like this ROM, but I don't know what to do.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] [ L ]:
Now it is saying:

Opening /sdcard/Update.zip

Can't open /sdcard/Update.zip

(Bad)

Installation Aborted.

What do I do?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] .mak:
Flash with Recovery, not ROM Manager. SPRecovery is the only supported recovery at this time, this will change in the future. There have been reports of ClockworkMod working, but I don't officially support it yet.

-mak
[Motorola Droid Android Development] [ L ]:
Thanks! I will try this now.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] [ L ]:
SPRecovery is saying the same thing as what CWMod said.

I am using ClockworkMod's ROM Manager and with SPRecovery instead of CWMod's recovery.

How should I fix this?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] mgstealth:
Great rom first one that I flashed on my new droid. Any chance you can fix the black text on black buttons issue? I will donate either way!
[Motorola Droid Android Development] .mak:
You may have a corrupt download. You should attempt to re-download it again. In the future, I'll include MD5 Hash's with my releases to better assist in verifying the download :)

Can you be more specific? Someone reported that as well, but I've been unable to find the black/black text.. screenshots would also be helpful (if you use adb) but a description of where to find this would be great. Yes, I will be able to fix it once I know where it is :)

Donations are always appreciated, thank you.

-mak
[Motorola Droid Android Development] [ L ]:
Now ROM Manager is freaking out and it keeps saying 'an error occurred when trying to do privileged (something or other)'.

Is there a file that you can post for me that I can download with my phone that will change the Recovery mode to SPRecovery?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] mgstealth:
Only place that I have noticed it on is the stock gmail app. Cut off the data to your phone. Open up the gmail app. Refresh the emails. And on the bottom where it says connection lost click to retry there's a black box that should have the words retry I believe.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] [ L ]:
Flashed SPRecovery, but it still doesn't work. Can you give me some of the things like the black notification bar and Beautiful Widget for Froyo? I got a ROM to work, I just really like the stuff from here. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid Android Development] pepsi149:
hey .mak......when are we gonna see a new relese...cause ive got a ton of peeps lookin....you rock...
[Motorola Droid Android Development] .mak:
It's not Beautiful Widgets, it's Fancy Widget which has been discontinued from the market for now because of a C&D from HTC. Beautiful Widgets has something similar and you can buy it in the market, I don't condone piracy so I won't share my copy of Beautiful Widgets.

It's very odd that it's not working for you. Did you try to re-download? I don't recall reading if you had or not.. it could be a corrupt download.

In the next 7-10 days. There are only 2 very minor bugs I see that need to be worked out thus far, but I want to be sure I get enough feedback so that v1.1 is as close to 100% perfect as possible :)

Sounds great! So far I haven't noticed anything wrong with this rom besides the previously mentioned black text which isn't a big deal. I will report back if any issues arise but I doubt it! :D Keep up the good work.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] [ L ]:
Tried re-downloading again about 4 times and still doesn't work. Guess I will wait till the next update and try again.

Can I have the Sense Fonts and stuff that is not violating piracy laws? Because that would be awesome if you could!
[Motorola Droid Android Development] R1PP3R:
Milestone Vs. Droid

Another thing I'm worried about is if my Milestone is rooted and OC'd, is it possible that since the Milestone (vs the Droid) has a locked bootloader, that this could totally brick my phone? :confused:
[Motorola Droid Android Development] luniz7:
None of the droid roms will work on the milestone due to the locked bootloader afaik.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] jhgas:
Hi. Just wondering if this ROM modifies the baseband (radio) I´m worried about it bcs I´m in Mexico and if the radio changes It´ll be difficult to get data working again. Thanks.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] .mak:
No it does not :)
[Motorola Droid Android Development] jhgas:
Thanks, I´ll try it ASAP.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] rtop2:
I keep getting the error message when trying to install this E:// No tar archives found. I am a bit confused...help would be appreciated.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] Tempus Andros:
Anyone else not seeing any of the 2.2 Market enhancements working? I've never once had an app update by itself (even though I've checked them all for allow automatic updating) and if I have more than one update to download and use "update all" they will download and then give me an install failed error. Am I missing something or is this just not active for this rom at this time? Thanks!
[Motorola Droid Android Development] xtacydima:
Are OTA updates disabled in this ROM?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] mgstealth:
.

Strange because all the apps that I have on auto update work just fine. Am not sure what can be causing this. Do you maybe have an auto task killer? Perhaps its closing something in the background like the auto update or maybe the market itself. I would check on that. try clearing the cache for the market. or do a fresh install, make sure you wipe though.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] .mak:
In the next release, I will most likely include script that automagically wipes /data/ and /cache/ due to the amount of issues possible from not wiping.. same goes for ZenEXP-Eris and future Droid-X builds I have planned (not saying custom ROMs are possible on the X yet, please don't ask..).

-mak
[Motorola Droid Android Development] tktouch12:
o my goodness. this is amazing. i havent seen htc ime work on 2.2 before. and that clock widget is great. very great job. that is amazing
[Motorola Droid Android Development] aerdely:
A question, are there any themes for it yet or is it themed already. I had an Eris before my Droid although it sounds great it would be better I think if themed.

Sent from Droid using "ChevyNo.1 Simply Stunning v4.6) ChevyNo.1- 1.0Ghz 7 Slot Kernel) 928Droid Black Glass Theme."
[Motorola Droid Android Development] jhgas:
Hi .mak Thanks for this ROM. I´ve installed it and it´s working perfectly but for one issue. Now whenever I write messages longer than say 80 chars it does not send them. The limit of my carrier is 140.

Do you hace any idea why this might be happening?

Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] MaXiMuS1701:
Hi,

Ive been running this rom for about 3 weeks now, and I love it. Very smooth, and responsive. I have been telling others about it as well, and have gotten another droid user to use it as well. Ive got the 1000mhz P3 kernel install with it, runs perfectly.

@jhgas, I've typed out txts that are 3 pages long and not had a problem with them being sent. What carrier are you with?

The only thing that I've noticed about this ROM, not sure if its the ROM or 2.2, or the loader, but when I try to swipe to change pages on the home screen, it sometimes will take a few swipes to move, however the buttons on the bottom left and right work every time.

Thanks for all the hard work with this ROM, Great Job!

Everything working fine here. I have recently installed the adw launcher for extra smoothness and the extra features are great too.
[Motorola Droid Android Development] influxvicions:
Bro, do i need to have my droid pre rooted before this process?
[Motorola Droid Android Development] barcodelinux:
Fantastic job! I've ran this rom for about 4 days now and it is very fast, stable, clean, and bug-free.

It has the stability of Bugless with the features (that matter to me) of UD.

Great job for a v1.0 release! Keep up the good work!
[Motorola Droid Android Development] belkira:
Just rooted and installed this today. Everything is great with the rom. I do have one question tho...

I now have a system update from verizon for Froyo. I'm guessing do not install, but is there a way to disable the notification from bugging me?

:Edit: Also can I update the radio with this rom?
