ROM – Ultimate Droid – Droid X RC Beta

 1 Comment

Well I recently saw that Ultimate Droid was released for the Droid-X and if everyone out there is worth flashing to your device right now my answer would be No. I love the theme and all of the modifications for the device but there are just so many bugs.

Bugs I Experienced:
Rebooting - Rebooting your device I had to battery pull almost every time then the device would finally do a successful boot (was a very pain in the ass).
USB Mass Storage / Charging Through PC - IF you are like me and charge your device via your PC, Netbook, Laptop well UltimateDroid should have placed this in BOLD and RED on his website because this was the only thing that made me uninstall. Basically you have to power off your device, connect the USB to your device/PC and turn your device back on for the USB to work!
Modified Apps – Not sure why this was even on the ROM due to the fact if you try to install any of the modified apps it would delete the old app and was such a pain in the ass to find the stock applications.

Also do to the fact that the device wouldn’t boot properly it was such a pain in the ass to get into ClockWorkRecovery, actually I wasn’t even able to thank god I had a previous ROM on my SD-Card. I had to power off and boot into my other Recovery by holding Power+Home button.

I mean don’t get me wrong I am sure Ultimate Droid will get it together and the ROM will kick-ass. I’ve been a huge fan since the Droid-1 releases, so we will just have to wait and see I just would not install this yet until all the bugs have been worked out not sure why it was even released yet.

Click here for more information

Installation:
This is a new style of install for me and the Droid community in general. The update.zip format will only remove those files necessary to install itself, if your phone is odexed, it will deodex it for you and install. It has a very small footprint because it is only installing what is necessary.

1) DO NOT WIPE YOU PHONE, DO NOT FORMAT THE SYSTEM.
2) in your app drawer have bootstrap recovery restart your phone in recovery.
3) Follow these steps exactly:
i. Select install zip from SD-Card
ii. Select choose zip from SD-Card
iii. Navigate to Tranquility.zip and press the camera button
iv. Restart phone
