Root Bionic Roms

Under kinetix it says not to flash pure if you already flashed blur....can you go the other way around? I test drove the rom and decided to keep it, now i wanna make it look sexy, so I'm gonna flash the add ons and pax and whatnot.

I believe that once you go blur or pur you have to start with the base again. I made a back up of the base completely set up before any add on's, this way no matter what I do it is not to time consuming to flash any add on.
 
2 questions:

I'm switching from kin3tix to a new rom and what I want the most is something either with a lot of themes made for it or something a noob could customize the look of. (I mostly want red, not this ugly blue)

Also, I want to know how you can tell which roms are best without trying them out. It seems as though people get really excited just reading about the rom and the features look like a foreign language to me.

I'd go for Eclipse myself. Check out their theme forums here:

• View forum - Themes and Apps

Here's one red theme:

• View topic - [THEME] RedBliss & REDCarbon Bliss

I'm more of a cyan guy, but that red theme looks pretty slick.


On a side note, dfib, can you add Eclipse 2.1RC1 for 901?

Let me ask a question about Eclipse....Do you find that the phone goes into vibrate mode without you changing the settings for that to happen? It was happening with me all the time. I finally gave up and reflashed stock.


Sorry, meant to quote a different post.

I've been on eclipse for a couple weeks now and haven't had that problem. Which version were you on?
 
version 2.1. I noted the same issue on the older version I was running before I upgraded to 5.5.902.
 
Are all these roms still compatible to use with the latest .902 update? like for the eclipse one should i download the v2.1?
 
Need help: i tried flashing 901-compatible Liberty on my 902-updated bionic. Flashes fine, and it's a nice ROM, although I have scrolling issues with the app drawer. But the radio now reads as 886. The phone then tells me there are two updates on the phone. It insists. Of course any attempt at installing fails because an error pops up telling me there is some kind of mismatch. No surprise, because the radio is 902. But I do not know what is going on there.


because of the incessant popups, I could not use Liberty and had to flash another rom.

Any ideas?
 
Just a suggestion dfib if you can change the links for the ICS roms from rootzwiki to the droidhive links so that it connects to the most updated files since they are not updating the rootzwiki links that are up. Great thread and very helpful.
 
+1 for eclipse rom 2.2. I installed it yesterday and I love it. Great work guys and keep it up. I was kind of getting bored with my bionic, but being able to explore a new rom always does the trick.

Yeah Eclipse 2.2 is awesome. I was using the ICS ROMs for a while but it was starting to feel like it defeated the purpose of owning a Bionic when Flash, front-facing camera, hardware acceleration, and other things are still not working on ICS. (No offense to the ICS devs, they are working really hard and releasing ROM updates almost every night as they work these issues out). Going back to a fully functioning Gingerbread ROM is awesome, and Eclipse almost looks like ICS anyways.
 
installed eclipse 2.2 on a bionic from 902 via safeboot. It works great, however was receiving duplicate text messages. went back to stock side and the problem isn't there.

...don't like the black bar/background on the ICE homescreen buttons, but otherwise it is awesome. Hoping for stable ICS roms soon!
 
Just throw a little donation to the devs if you use their rom. I'm on eclipse 2.2 and love it! I didn't have luck with the .905 update so that's why I'm back to .902 using eclipse 2.2 :D

Support your favorite devs! :D
 
It's been a while since anyone posted in this thread... Still no sign of an official version of ICS from Motorola?

Any new stable versions of ICS available?
 
Has anyone on here tried the Wizzed Bean ROM? I'm still waiting for my OK from the mods to be able post and such. Until that time I can't even look at the screenshots that are posted. I'm wanting to try it but without knowing what it looks like first I don't want to go ahead and do it. I have a few more questions on some stuff but will wait until I hear back on this post to post them.
 
Try rageroms.com for a great rom for jb 4.1.2 and safestrap 3.6.
works great. If I can make it work you can make it work.
many nice features. :)
