Ultimate Droid Froyo eXtreme 8.0.0 - Droid

Sorry if this was asked already. At work and can't read 47 pages of replies.

I downloaded 8.0 to my Droid1 last night. I installed about 15 minutes ago and its still booting. Is this normal?

My boot time took a long time as well. I think it just knows the "cool" droids and installs "secret" things for us :D Did you get it all loaded and setup?
 
Hello, just installed this last night great ROM btw!!! I noticed when it first booted I had a total of 7 screens which I could swipe through, and below I could have 2 extra shortcuts one next to phone icon and one next to browser icon, but then I messed with the other launchers, and now I've lost the extra 2 screens I have only 5. How do I get the other 2 back? should I just wipe and reinstall the ROM???? Anyone else having this issue????

Which launcher are you using now? Should be able to set the amount of screens you want by hitting menu and then preferences
 
I am having issues with twitter and other apps updating and installing also having issues because when I use titanium backup to restore my apps and system data it seems to cause issues restoring the missing system apps that are missing when I manually restore them to have failure aftwr failure with market updates

I was having the same wallpaper problems with launcherpro. I wiped and the problem went away. I didn't wipe when I first install ud8 and had a lot of little problems like this.

So if you haven't wiped then WIPE. ;)

Im pretty sure i wiped the first time but i guess there's no harm in trying again. thanks for the help

I'm completely new to custom roms and had no success on installing this one. Where could I find specific steps for installing on FRG22D?
 
thats because you were using the stock launcher it has seven screens. You can make whatever launcher you are using have the same setup if you want just hit the home button and see what launchers you are loaded up with. If that dont work you r gonna have to go to settings applications manage and you are going to have to uncheck the launcher you have for default and switch them out if you wanna go back to stock..I suggest launcherpro its really sweet!!! If you like being able to switch out themes real fast though adw is pretty cool to...

Possible market problem.

Sorry if this has been covered:

I am under the impression that my apps are not updating in the market. I recall having an option on this rom that would spoof the market into thinking I was running on 2.1 Android and option to make it 2.2 Froyo. I can not find these settings any longer.

The reason I ask this is because I flashed ShadowRom for about 10 min and it sent me 5 updates to apps Ive had on my phone. Restored back to UD8 and no updates in the market.

Is anyone noticing this as well?

Thanks for your thoughts and input.
 
my only thoughts are to check on the ultimate droid rom and see what version your app is maybe you already updated it???

Are you by chance running 928's Black Glass Theme?

I noticed that when I installed it placed a second standalone version of ADW that was themed and that version does not have the option to change the default of 5 homescreens.

Go to settings and find the version of ADW that is set as your default and clear it. Then hit your home button and home selct BDs installed ADW as your default. You will have those options back
 
I made a complete backup before I installed and did a full wipe of data cache etc and then install went great.

Only issue I have is that none of my apps show up period.......even after about a 30 min wait. I manually search in the market and I click download and it has an error failed to download app etc. On purchased apps in the market it shows up with a buy button and not purchased. Any ideas?

I reverted back to my backup and just installed UD 8.0 over the top of vanilla 2.2 and everything works for the most part but it doesn't seem as fast. Any help guys?
