[Droid Pro Android Development] Phoible:
Just came upon a Droid Pro after using a Droid 2 for several months. I figured that I would try it out for a few days (since it was given to me), and I'm finding that I really like the form factor and keyboard. The lower-res screen really isn't as big of a deal as I thought it would be.

Thinking about making it my permanent phone, but the one thing that's missing is Fission (have been running it since the original builds). The battery life is just so much better with Fission than with the stock Blur, and I drastically prefer the AOSP UI. As soon as a complete build of Fission comes out for the Droid Pro, I will definitely install it.

I guess that I should send you guys some money to support your development efforts...
[Droid Pro Android Development] jayhammy:
Here's to hoping for a new build soon! RC1 is definitely a good start, but I'd love something that could soon be a daily driver.

@Angdroid:

Any update on the DPro-ROM? :)
[Droid Pro Android Development] drfonz:
Success! A fully GSM unlocked Droid Pro with UK SIM

Just an update on my part:

I managed to successfully flash with RSDLite 4.9 the available SBF and then the phone would go into an infinite boot loop with the "Droid" sound and logo going on for ever.

Then I dug around and found out from a Motorola engineer that by holding down the R and M keys whilst pressing the power button to boot, the phone goes into Recovery Mode, this allowed me to wipe the cache and data. The phone then booted without a hitch!

So the boot cycle was being triggered by a cache/data which the newly flashed System did not agree with.

After that I kept looking and found out that I could try unlocking the GSM comms by using an unlock code from swiftunlocks.com, and for $9.95 it was worth a try. Within a few minutes they sent me 2 unlock codes, and after putting a UK SIM in place and booting up, the phone asked for a "SIM unlock code" to which I entered the first of the two and hey presto, the unlocked code was accepted! It is worth mentioning at this point that my phone was NEVER activated in the US (as I didn't turn it on from new until I got to the UK). I heard some rumours that the phone needed to be activated in the US before allowing for an unlock code to work, but that simply is not true.

Now I'm the proud owner of a fully functional Droid Pro using an O2 UK SIM. All I had left to do was to add the appropriate APNs for Mobile Web and MMS and now I have full speed HSDPA downloads and everything else.

Hope this helps other who might be in a similar situation!

Cheers!

[Droid Pro Android Development] dutchbastard:
I'm quite intrigued as well.

At first I wasn't sure what Roms could give me but after more reading I see this is exactly what i'm looking for.

Customization is everything.

I'd love to know when it's stable enough to go for it.
[Droid Pro Android Development] rotaterecords:
:)

I hate to add fuel to the fire but i am dying for a stable fission vanilla rom. Moto really f'd up this phone with their motoblurpoo. Excellent hardware with absolutely embarrassing sofware. Please teamfuse make this rom happen so i can forget motoblurpoo was ever created.

Did you ever get that droid pro you were looking for?
[Droid Pro Android Development] jayhammy:
I completely bypass Blur by using Launcher Pro. However, performance takes a slight hit but at least I don't have to deal with Blur crap.
[Droid Pro Android Development] rotaterecords:
unfortunately using a new launcher does not get rid of all the crappiness of blur or any other android skin. I also use launcher pro.

the fact is that this phone with its smaller lower res screen should get amazing battery life (with the extended battery) but the software that has been "tweaked" and modified by moto makes the phone a joke. also the insane random reboots are unacceptable. IMO all the problems people are having with this phone boil down to moto's afterbirth named motoblur and their software "optimization". the droid x offers superior battery life and user experience and speed all because there was no blur crap on it.

and the moto icons are ugly just to add insult to injury.

I am coming from a t-mobile g2 and am really really missing a close to stock android experience.

and for the love of god please dont comment on this thread by saying "do a warranty exchange. my phone is great and never had a problem" good for you. keep it to yourself. A LOT of people are having problems.

FISSION ROM, you are my savior. (hopefully)
[Droid Pro Android Development] jayhammy:
I agree with you that the Launcher Pro is just a skin on top of the Blurred OS. It's not ideal, but it does work while we're waiting for some kind of decent Vanilla AOSP ROM.
[Droid Pro Android Development] mam693:
Hey everyone,

I just installed the Fission ROM on my Droid Pro, much more fluid than the stock ROM although much buggier at the moment. If there's anything that I can do to help the further development of this ROM, please do let me know. I'd love to see it go places.

Thanks!

Matt
[Droid Pro Android Development] al2x:
Anyone have any idea or word on the dev working on a new update for the Rom? The lack of Roms on this phone suuucks :(

Every Motoblur phone should come with a seperate ROM because of the ****tiness of blur :(
[Droid Pro Android Development] mistarose:
I hope we get more work on this soon. If I only knew how to do it all, I would jump on it and get to work.
[Droid Pro Android Development] pman219:
I would say that it appears we have been forgotten.

EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF !!:eek:
[Droid Pro Android Development] rotaterecords:
im at the end of my droid pro rope. and android in general. i have had about 6 or 7 android phones starting with the g1. the current state of android skinning and lack of updates have driven me to the edge.

im thinking if this rom gets abandoned i will sell my droid pro........and buy an iphone 4 for verizon. motorola ruined android for me. no matter what happens I will def NEVER even think about buying another moto product again.

i loved the droid 1. no skin. worked great. great hardware. droid x same thing. minimal skin and great hardware = great phone.

droid pro= great hardware + afterbirth OS.

i hope angdroid can get a second to confirm the abandonment so that i can go on and abandon this phone all together.

(the devs are busy people with busy lives so i do not expect a reply or think that anybody deserves one. teamdefuse are awesome and they do awesome work.)

2nd post is the Droid Pro SBF Files. They are at 2.26.20 so you will have to do a 14mb update after the SBF install.

You will need RSDLite to unbrick your droid.

Any Update yet,mate....???

hi mate,

any update yet... ???
[Droid Pro Android Development] drfonz:
I had a quick tweet with Angdroid last week and unfortunately he hasn't got a Droid Pro yet, so no progress at all I'm afraid :(
[Droid Pro Android Development] ergagno:
Is there anything we (owners of Droid pro) can do in the meantime to help that development?
[Droid Pro Android Development] Phoible:
Send him money for a Droid Pro? That seems like the most fruitful option. It's pretty hard to build software for a phone that you don't have.

You can make guesses as to how to fix bugs, but the feedback cycle is too slow. When I'm developing Android applications, I can try something, push the component to my phone, and if it doesn't work, I try something else immediately. It only takes me a few minutes to test something out. If I had to send that application to someone else and have them install it, the turnaround could be like a day. Which is just too slow for any sort of real development. Hopefully, once enough people send him donations, Angdroid will be able to get a Droid Pro and make this really work.
[Droid Pro Android Development] ergagno:
Agreed !! Donation done hoping this will help.

Hopefully this show the example !! :)
[Droid Pro Android Development] bako.li:
sounds like good idea, but I will be happy to hear it from him, is he still on this project and is that the cash is the only issue because I think it is really not - we are so many Droid Pro owners and if everybody send 5-10 quit he will have a fortune :)))

but as I said I would like to hear from him cause we havent for long time

so please mate, get back to us...are you still on it or not...???

Thank you
[Droid Pro Android Development] drfonz:
I already donated to the cause through getting the Fission Rom Manager via a donation, but then this is for all FRM installs, and not exclusive to Droid Pro but still I thought getting the Donate version of FRM would provide the crew with the resources to get the phones they need. Are we saying they need a top up for the less popular phones as well? If so, I'm happy to oblige, but it doesn't sound right to me...
[Droid Pro Android Development] bako.li:
Right...!!! I agree with that but still .... we are in Droid Pro sub-forum and it is indeed Droid Pro development we are discussing and I am intrestred in Droid Pro not in Droid X or Droid 2 and so on...

I know Fission Team are great but as I said we havent heard anything from them for long time ON THIS PROJECT (not DX or D2)...

No update, no nothing...

If they left the project -fine but I think would be nice to let us know ,that's all !

I would not consider doing anything before I hear ANYTHING from them...ANYTHING ......

Excuse me for the strong language ... I know the devs are busy people with their lives but I am a bit upset of lack of communication between them and us...that is all...:(

Thank you
[Droid Pro Android Development] mrgino:
agree. i would happily donate towards a droid pro rom as the RC is not stable enough for work purposes. but if they've abandoned this project we need to know.
[Droid Pro Android Development] greddy:
can agree 100%

I absolutely love the hardware, but without reasonable Rom (i.E. without Blur) can be the Droid throw away. I'm very sad about the situation the the last 2 months ahead

has happened in terms of another Rom. I would pay for it immediately if it exists a good rom.
[Droid Pro Android Development] macstibs:
Would definitely contribute something if there were an active team looking to put some polish on this effort.
[Droid Pro Android Development] machode:
whats going on with development of this rom? please tell me their is silence cuz their is lots of work going on in the background. its a great phone just motorola have buggered it with their software. Please devs breathe life into this phone :)
[Droid Pro Android Development] jayhammy:
I think no one has taken interest in this phone. I'm putting it up on eBay and getting a T-Bolt. I"m done with Motorola phones.
[Droid Pro Android Development] memert:
How much are you planning on selling it for?
[Droid Pro Android Development] joeld82:
I agree. I went back to the Droid2 and this is my last Moto phone.
[Droid Pro Android Development] dutchbastard:
Yeah I kinda regret not waiting til I found a better deal on the droid 2 . Selling this pro wont be enough to get a d2.

I mean the pro is nice and all but I think a droid 2 would have fit me better.

Oh well...

[Droid Pro Android Development] sandman_nyc_316:
Hey guys. I know that this phone hasn't gotten much love at all but if the Pro ever does get Gingerbread (which was rumored today), what are the chances of any roms being made for this phone? Obviously this forum pretty much died but hey just wanted to know. Need to know if I should just have my wife wait til the D3 comes out or if she can keep the Droid Pro for a bit longer. Thanks ahead of time.
[Droid Pro Android Development] sandman_nyc_316:
With GB finally rolling out (for those lucky enough to have it in system updates), anyone willing to try to get another rom rolling on this device? ;)
[Droid Pro Android Development] joeemily:
i followed everything correctly something happened now my phone gets stuck at the Motorola screen and sometimes boots into recovery when i try to backup or restore or anything it goes black and nothing happens how badly am i bricked?
[Droid Pro Android Development] sandman_nyc_316:
I think there are a few things you could try. Go back into recovery and wipe as you normally would then reflash (could also be a bad download of the rom as it is no longer supported). If that doesnt work, See if you can grab the update file (Gingerbread) and flash that.

This is my first android phone. Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant. I plan on rooting my phone tomorrow and I was wanting to put 2.2 firmware on the phone. I have been told that there are different roms and such and I was hoping someone here could tell me which is the best way to go about upgrading my phone. I tried reading some threads but I am not sure which is the best way to go. Any help would be appreciated.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigragu:
If you've never rooted your phone and installed a custom ROM before... Read, read, read these forums and especially the thread for the ROM you are thinking of installing. Know how to get yourself out of a jam before you even get in it.

+1...This is what I followed when I flashed my wifes vibrant awhile back, and followed again just a few days ago when I picked mine up.

As for 2.2 ROMs...you will just have to play with them. I would recommend starting with flashable ROMs as they are a little easier to work with if you do not have a lot of experience with flashing

I might suggest this one if you want a no frills basic 2.2 stable, rooted ROM to work with

The real world performance of the Hummingbird is superior to all other ARM Cortex A8 processors I have found. Of course, that won't remain that way when CPUs like the Tegra 250 start coming onto phones like the LG Optimus 2x.
[Epic 4G General] mxcoldhit:
Yea the Tegra chipset will blow everything out of the water :(. I do like the Hummingbird processor though

Sent from my shoe, I mean....Epic shoe... I mean Samsung Epic! http://mobilehighway.blogspot.com/
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
No, that will remain even after Tegra 2 comes out..simply because Tegra 2 is Cortex A9 ;) lol

Its no surprise the Hummingbird is the fastest processor...originally the TI OMAP held the crown of pushing the Cortex A8 to its max..Samsung with TI OMAP in mind went a step farther to try to create something even better (despite many telling them its not possible)..and with hep of Intrisity the Hummingbird was made which pushes Cortex A8 beyond its limits..

The Hummingbird is the king of 2010..and it was made it 2009..it is only fitting that next year in 2011 a better processor comes out, and then a better one in 2012 and so on...
[Epic 4G General] Electrofreak:
Hah, you guys sound like you've read my article. Or maybe I'm just flattering myself. :p

http://alienbabeltech.com/main/?p=17125

Anyhow, there's one major problem with the article linked by the OP; that test is soley a GPU test, not CPU. The PowerVR SGX540 is, without doubt, the fastest GPU on the market today.

The Hummingbird does just barely edge past Snapdragon MHz to MHz in side-by-side processing tests, though any 1.x GHz OMAP / Snapdragon does have the 1 GHz Hummingbird beat (except when it comes to GPU performance, obviously.)

Where the Hummingbird starts to lose out MHz for MHz is in Android 2.3 where the JIT compiler was optimized for Snapdragon (and I assume OMAP) processors. Hopefully we'll see this change and Google work some better Hummingbird support into Android with the release of the Nexus S; now the flagship "Google Phone".
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
I actually researched this info back before CTIA when the Hummingbird was first announced...but I do remember stumbling upon your article here and there.

Even with 2.3 optimizations I do not think an old 1st gen 65nm Snapdragon will outperform a Hummingbird mhz for mhz..the newer 2nd gen ones are another story.

But yeah, optimizations from the Nexus S would be sweet..while I was hoping for an Orion CPU, I am quite happy they chose the same CPU as ours, this will help development a lot...

Not to offend anybody, but android is still new.. For me, who deal alot with some middle east asia language like arabic, the android still unsupported.. But personally, i'm also look forward for the development of android, coz for me what ever good technology we achieve nowadays, we can make use it wisely for our better daily life, not to be fanatic.. Just like i said, not to offend anybody, different people might use different application according to their own interest, while some others might even didn't bother it at all.. So, don't judge other people based on your interest and condition, there might be some reason that other people need while you didn't..
[Streak 5 General] The Jack of Clubs:
I had windows mobile for 5 years, I'm not bashing it, I'm just questioning the need. Its an outdated os at this point and I'm just wondering what windows mobile could do at this point that android can't.
[Streak 5 General] tmotytn:
Once upon a time I couldn't stand WinMo...but once I figured out how to use it, I left the Blackberry world for good. When I got an iPhone, there were lots of things I missed from the WinMo world.

Since I have 5 lines on ATT, the HD2 only offers me EDGE speed, and if it weren't for that, I would have probably carried that device for the past year..so I didn't mean to sound like I was bashing WinMo--it has its place in history for sure.

But why would MS be moving forward with Win7 phones if they didn't agree with some of us in that WinMo is a dying OS, much like Blackberry?

For me, personally, I can pick up any Android device and within an hour or two, be doing anything I used to be able to do on the Tilt or Blackjack or my personal fave, the Q9h...PLUS MUCH MORE...

Granted, if you need specialized languages and things of that nature, right now, at this moment, Android may not be right for you, but in time those things will come, too.

And if it's that big of a deal (languages), and you work with them so much... you might want to consider helping out on translations on getting official support for the language(s) you need.
