The Ultimate Droid 1.0.0 - Droid 1 Only

[vrdubin6]

So far I am very pleased with this ROM. All the little nick knacks really make this my go to ROM.

My only major gripe, just like most people, is the lockscreen sliders. I really wouldn’t mind the positioning if we had the sliders with the little red arrows that are in the preview pictures.

UD8 battery life didn’t seem to be very linear for me. I thought I would be getting great battery life since it would take quite some time to drop in the 40%-100% range... then it would plummet rapidly after getting to 40%. I am only to 60% battery right now, so I am not sure if this is an issue on this ROM as well.

I am not sure if we had the ability to adjust all the brightness levels and thresholds in UD8, but I just noticed this feature and it is ingenious. It's also really nice to be able to considerably lower the dimmest setting.

Did you already try the rotary lockscreen? On my phone that relocates the lock buttons to their normal position.

Yeah, I have been using the rotary until I have to time to modify the framework for the sliders in the lower location. I am just going to use the little black circle with the white arrow inside (the same little arrow it shows on menus such as the power off/reboot menu). I think that should look alright.

I guess I should have said it is a minor gripe, not a major gripe hah.

Two questions:

1.) How do I get the status bar tweaks to activate? I tried rebooting after enabling show battery percentage, but it's still not there.

2.) Any idea why I couldn't update Google Search in the market?

Thanks all!

I am having app installation issues...I have done the following several times...

FULL Titanium Pro Backup
Full Nandroid backup
wipe data/cache 4 times
install ROM
(wipe data/cache again on one attempt)
wait for market installs to finish...hangs after a while...says phone low on memory and all further installs fail
Run Titanium Pro with new busybox and unknown sources checked, also force to same location is checked...
Run batch operation (tried missing apps/data, missing apps, force reinstall of all apps...)
went into settings/applications and forced 50+ apps onto SD card to free up memory....

still missing 35+ apps
Market will not update
installing ANY new app (even very small ones) results in phone low on memory
MULTIPLE reboots
I have no theme installed and I have not added a new kernal yet

For now, I have reverted back to 8.0... until I can get my apps to install, I am stuck here...

Any ideas?

What method are you using to install the ROM
Clockwork or SPRecovery ??????

I am using SPRecovery...

Note: I tried to reinstall and then use airplane mode with no luck... I found a bunch of corrupted apps in the system. I must have overwritten the good versions of my apps with the corrupted ones at some point.
What took care of the problem was going into Settings/Application/Manage Apps and deleting anything in the DOWNLOADED section that was corrupted (easily done since the names were scrambled). I rebooted and the market then showed all of the missing apps as "free" or "Purchased". I then re-downloaded them and am back in business!
I learned a lesson... backing up is good, but make darn sure you are not backing up bad files!!
Thank you all for your help. Maybe my problems and solution can help the next guy.

Loving the ROM!!!

I couldn't get any status bar tweaks to push either. I just figured it was a flaw.

My battery percentage works, but I'm on the stock theme. In the past, some themes have made my percentage either not there or doubled up. Do you have a theme installed?

hi, noob here. i've got my droid 1 rooted finally (used rooting droid 1 regardless of OS version instructions) and then did a nandroid backup (used sirpsychosis 0.99.3b to back up).

now want to do my first custom rom and would like to choose ultimate droid 1.0 to try. i also bought titanium backup pro. and i also bought ROM Manager and i see UDv1.0 listed in ROM manager.

anyway, i can't seem to find instructions on how to get UDv1.0 installed (should i use ROM manager? or do i have to use ROM manager?) can anyone help me with some instructions please? thanks

...Then, DO NOT download ANY blackdroid/ultimate droid roms from ROM Manager - (don't ask just download the link to the .zip in the OP.)...​

Thanks mdgmcse. Seems like good instructions but what does "OP" mean from above?

Use the link in the Original Post (page 1). Ultimate Droid ROMs in ROM Manager are old, old, old. Backup your phone's state BEFORE flashing... just as insurance.

EDIT: If the OP link is broken, try this:

Awesome... downloaded the Incredible version to see if the framework had the unlock/sound sliders that are pictured. Indeed they did. Looks so much better.

I'm having the same market TOS issue I saw three pages back. Every time I open market after a bit I have to reaccept the TOS. Not a biggie, everything works but annoying. Wonder if it has to do with the market fix in UD extras.

Try clearing the market data. Everytime I habe market issues no matter the ROM clearing it always helped

+1! I'd put $$ on that vs it being a ROM issue. Otherwise, ALOT more people would be reporting the same issues. Clearing the data has also helped me in the past.

This is my first time really trying Ultimate Droid, and I have to say I'm loving it. Quick enough, a lot of features and it looks good enough without me having to make any changes or worry about any themes. Just a few little issues though.

First there are a few spelling mistakes in the UltimateDroid app in settings, nothing major just little things, supremely unimportant.

Also I'm not a fan of the new rotorary lockscreen, any chance of the old one coming back?

Last, and this is something that a lot of ROMs have a problem with is updating Google apps that are (I believe) in /system. In particular the Google Search app. Whenever I try and download the latest version I get an error saying that the install is unsuccessful. I'm assuming this is because I need to uninstall it via terminal and reboot, just haven't tried it yet.

My question is, in the next version can you add commands to uninstall every Google app (ie Gmail, Maps, Search, Car Home, Voice Search) so that we don't have to muck around in the Terminal? It seems like Google is going to seperate more and more of the OS and put it on the Market as time goes on, and having an easy way to remove and install them would be nice.

Also, if someone has the exact commands I need to type in to uninstall the Google Search via Terminal could they please post them? I've had to do it awhile back, but have forgotten how.

First you need to mount as Read/Write in terminal:
1) su
2) mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

Now you need to delete the apk in question (let's use Gmail for this example):
3) rm /system/app/Gmail.apk (remember that command lines are case sensetive.)

Now remount the system as Read Only:
4) mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

Exit Terminal, reboot, and then install the apps from the market.

I am curious if there have been any updates on the first release. I downloaded it the first day and it seems really wacky and buggy. I went back to you d 8. I would love to run 1.0.0. Any input would be appreciated.

This ROM is NOT an update to v8. It is completely new so if you didn't wipe everything clean and start fresh you will have issues. There are very few instances of others having any major probs.
