Highest I've hit running ChevyNo1 1250mhz Ultra Low Voltage kernel was like 19.7
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] luniz7:
I pull a 19.3 on my 1.25 kernel on froyo
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Löki:
OK my stats are as follows

Quadrant 375

LinPack 4.5 mflops

Neocore 24.5 fps

So after looking around at everyone's stats I have made up my mind to take the leep and root !

I have been doing alot of reading and have a few idea's of what I should load up but would like to ask for opinions.

I'm looking for a 2.2 it does not have to be anything funky or over the top just has to work properly with wifi and everything, with a ULV or LV 1.0ghz to 1.25ghz.

My work is a very hot place all year around and I live on my phone on my many many breaks at work so I would really like a kernel that run's cool but pumps the speed..

Opinions, suggestions, recommendations and LINKS to downloads please.

Also please feel free to PM me if you have the time to help a Noob like me with a few dozen ?'s

Thanx all for the input so far and I want to get everything downloaded and get my phone pimped out ASAP so let's get the suggestions rolling :D

Thanx again

...so go stock.

So use the FRG01B leak that's supposed to be "stock" from Verizon. Without any further modification, it'll bump your top speed to 800 Mhz, but would allow you to see what's going on without really endangering anything.

It'll also give you a fair benchmark (personally) as to the speed of Froyo before you decide to bump things further.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Smac7:
is there anyway i can root without wiping the phone? im on 2.1 right now. i would just use titanium but you need root to even do that.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] USMC-Delta:
THeres ana app called easy root, for a buck...... gives u ROOT access, to say, install rom manager, flash the clockwork recovery and from there, install any zip.

for a buck, seems pretty nice vs. figuring out how to root the damn droid.

Rooted via easy root. and now playing with sapphire 1.0
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Smac7:
so thatll do a complete nand unlock? thats cool. thanks
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Löki:
They suspended easy root from the market. ? .

It was there this morning and I was going to grab it then but my credit card was a used up prepayed card so had to wait till now to get off work and get a new card for my account. I did that only to find out the app has been removed from the market.. Come on goggle give it back ! I love goggle but this is FAIL . There are many people that have payed for the app and now can't redownload it thats even more crappy then the fact that I can't buy it...

Ok I guess I'm done looking for the easy way out.

Please advise if I got all this right before I screw something up..

1. Download RSD Lite, the 2.0.1 .sbf file

, and the Motorola Drivers.

Motorola Drivers (for 32 bit Computers) OR Motorola Drivers (for 64 bit Computers)

RSD Lite

Droid 2.0.1 Firmware

Install and do what is posted here http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/04/how-to-root-the-motorola-droid-android-2-1/

up too step 3 then in place of there download use whats found here

http://sapphire.ccroms.net/wiki/releases/sapphire-1.0.0

and I'm rooted with sapphire and good too go right ?

Thanx

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Löki:
OK so RSD Lite's start button is not clickable. Have tryed many time's and redownloaded all files a few time's..

Can someone please advise ?

(edit)

I tryed it with the command line and it failed right off the bat. Like it was fake trying.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Löki:
Never Mind

http://www.droid-life.com/2010/07/0...-1-and-install-android-2-2-on-motorola-droid/

Worked.

But Sapphire proves to not like my phone and would not let me get much of anything done after installing the goggle pack it keep crashing and locking up.

I'm running stock rooted 2.2

linpack from 4.5 to 9.598

quadrant from 375 to 865

neocore from 24.5 stayed the same.

(EDIT)

I overclocked it from 600 to 1000 with P3 LV 250-1000 very stable and smooth.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] aerdely:
What version of sapphire you using. If 1.0.0 then read the notes on sapphire website. It states that are using a different video play that gives low quadrant score but in actuallity is very fast. I installed and ran bench mark. Get very good scores. 1600+ on the CPU score. It also has an option on the site to download the other video player to get correct score on quadrant but has problems playing the h.264 video files that's why they changed it.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Barkleyfan:
Now that you have root, download Rom Manager. You can get Sapphire 1.0 from the free version. I endorse the paid version, as it REALLY opens up your options. Grab a stock rooted rom first, but don't install it. This is just for emergency use. Next grab Sapphire 1.0. Wipe and install it. This will all go pretty quick with a wifi connection, but it's not too bad with 3G.Everything will be running sweet. The best feature I've found with 1.0 is that SetCPU features is actually available in settings. You don't need SetCPU anymore unless you want the widget.

It's a FRG01B build, and it's solid. Good luck.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Löki:
I was useing 1.0 it would not let me redo my goggle login. kept locking up while trying to input my gmail info.

Also I tryed rom manager and it would not get me into recovery, just got stuck in a loop everytime I tryed.

Also I was wondering if anyone knows a fix to get Pandora to play nice with 2.2 ?

: Edit update :

I got rom manager to do it's thing after a reinstall. Have not re-tryed sapphire, But I sure I will when time permits.

[Captivate General] golucky:
I've got a new phone (Samsung Captivate) coming in, should I go for more storage or speed? I've got a MicroSDHC 16GB Class 2 and 8GB Class 4, which one should I use?

I'm planing on using the storage mainly for movies and music.

-golucky.
[Captivate General] rob989_69:
I'd go class 4 and smaller. Amazon has class 6 8gb for $25ish?? I just ordered one. If it's straight storage go bigger, but if you are going to watch movies from it you'll want the speed.
[Captivate General] Saftwear:
For some reason it is only recognizing 4 gig of my 8.

Not sure what's going on
[Captivate General] cropythy:
That isn't necessarily true, I can drag and drop 720p movies on my 16gb class 2 micro sd card and play them back no problem, and seeing as that is the highest res playback available (afaik) you don't need higher than class 2 UNLESS you are going to use the phone to record 720p then you might want class 6 or 10
[Captivate General] kkeo:
My old class 4 8gb card is just as fast as a class 6 8gb I just bought. Copying a movie to the card, they both hit around 11MB/s.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DorianC:
Hello,

This issue began about 2 days ago, i noticed every once and again the home button would not respond but i figured its just a glitch or something. It got worse and worse till the point i am now, both the home and back button wont respond at all, earlier today they would work randomly and not often ,ive rebooted it ,reseted it 3 times, but the problem remains. I did not root it, or install any dubious software. i dropped the phone once,about a week ago from my hands,no scratches and it worked fine after that. Im really dissapointed about this, can anyone offer any advice?Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] developing:
Sup xda,

I've been dabbling in custom Android ROMs since I got my HTC Hero a few months after launch, and although I mostly understand how everything works I'd like to learn more about the inner workings of our phone software.

I hear the phrase SPL thrown around a lot, such as MoDaCo's unlocked Hero SPL and the idea that playing with the SPL is one way to brick your phone if you mess up. From these scattered discussions, I've gathered that the SPL is some piece of extremely low-level software that must have control over some basic phone functions and hardware, but I want to know more. I don't even know what SPL stands for, or what (exactly) it does - any kind and knowledgeable members care to enlighten me? :)
[General Questions and Answers] Purple Drama Llama:
An SPL, unlocks the phones bootloader which the OEM locks down so you can only put ROMS from your carrier on the phone. If you flash an SPL you can load any custom ROM on your phone. :D
[General Questions and Answers] Atlanticgrl:
BUT how to do find out what SPL you hav????. I want to load the mango roms, but do not know how to determine if i have HSPL or SPL 4.XX as I saw in another forum, it will "brick" my phone if I attempt to load those roms with HSPL.

And please someone explain i tin "SP-for-dummies". I'm new to the phone hacking world.

Hey,

I got my magic for a few days now and I'm running eclair 2.1..

I like the standard theme, but I was wondering if I could change the icons? and how?

Thx in advance
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] shoemeistah:
You can replace the icon by fiddling around in the ROM (/res/drawable/ folders).

You can open ROMs and APK files with WinRAR. And push them with adb, don't forget to remount first.

Or you can download an application called 'FolderOrganizer' from Market and change icons there.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] jasnmb:

ADW Launcher (free)

Desktop Visualizer (free)

BetterCut (paid)

i had this phone now for bout 3 weeks and i like it a lot, one thing, the phone seem to slow down after a wile of normal use, then i have to reboot it to " clear the memory" again and the phone will be okay for a wile.

Is this a SE problem or just me?

Try installing "Advanced Task Killer" from the marketplace - that'll let you close unwanted background apps without having to reboot the phone (and you can set it to automatically close stuff when the phone goes to sleep, if you want)

Hey I found this on Modaco, I tried it out, and everything works great. Hopefully no one else has posted this as a thread, if so sorry! Here is the link ----> http://goo.gl/JV7W

Baranacle Wifi Settings:

1. Change SSID - [User Preference]

2. Change Channel - 6

3. Custom Wifi Ad-hoc - NONE

4. Skip wpa_supplicant - CHECK

5. Restart Phone As Desired

Settings For Windows:

Open cmd.exe as administrator

C:\Windows\system32>netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface "Wireless Network Connection" mtu=1250 store=persistent

This is assuming your wireless network adapter is called "Wireless Network Connection"

Fix For Mac:

System Preferences>Network>

Under Airport select advanced>ethernet tab

Set Configure to Custom and use 1250 MTU

I did NOT figure this out, just found on Modaco.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] cashless:
Good find! I'll test it out when I hit home!

This was posted a day or two ago but it's buried deep in a thread somewhere. I tried the settings and they work for Edge but not 3G. I tried it today with an iTouch and it connected but when I tried to surf around it disconnected. :-/

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] neema:
I am seeing the NAT restart message as well.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] RaistlinMajere:
To fix the NAT errors, you need to set your computer to use MTU of 1250. This is supposed to be fixed in the next release of Barnacle. But for now, if you make this change, it will work. See the first post in this thread for instructions. I use a Mac, but setting the MTU in System Prefs wouldn't stick for me. But this command worked:

sudo ifconfig en1 mtu 1250
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zenlakin:
I noticed that I keep getting the NAT restart error on my ipod touch but I am able to continue browsing the internet. Anyone tried this with success as well or possibly tried this with an iPad?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] neema:
Thanks, I will have to wait for the release, I do not have the ability to adjust MTU settings on the device I want to connect. I assume it is the normal 1400 and does not support changing it.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Halieus:
They just posted an update in the market. It seems to work, but I haven't tried to surf yet. I will try when I get home.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bbwharris:
I can confirm that Barnacle is working as a wifi tether on a rooted Vibrant.

I am using Ubuntu. I did have to set MTU for wlan0 (my laptops wireless device name, yours may vary) to 1250.

In Ubuntu you can change this (gui way):

System -> Administration -> Network Tools

Then:

Wireless -> (Your Vibrants SSID) Click Edit

Set MTU to 1250 instead of automatic

Or the command line way:

ifconfig wlan0 mtu 1250

The command line way is for the device! In this case I recommend the gui way (first time ever)

Did a speed test: 1.01 Down .33 Up Ping: 128ms (A little lower than I am used to being tethered, but it works and that's all I need)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] justadude:
Can confirm the current version in the market works *IF* you set your MTU to 1200 in windows, to do this w/ Windows 7:

(From an elevated command prompt):

netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface "Wireless Network Connection" mtu=1200 store=persistent

Just did a speedtest while tethered, 3.58mb/s down, 1.28mb/s up w/ 105ms ping!
