Just to be sure we understand each other when I unzip the rar I get a folder called BDS-20100119-0608 and inside that folder is another folder called BDS-20100119-0608 and inside that are the image files, hence double BDS folders. Make sure you have extracted the downloaded rar, that you dont have double folders and that you have the BDS folder placed inside the nandroid folder. Then follow Petes step by step instuctions including wiping before installation.

!o! :p I never even intended on flashing this ROM. I figured it would fizzle in a couple days at best, but damn peer pressures a mofo! Now I gotts to see what everybody else is talking about :D
 
I am liking it, I realized that it was set up in a way where unless u backed up all your apps on ur sdcard you would have to reinstall them from the market, instead of letting the phone retrieve all of them for you (if that makes sense) otherwise I like it over all other roms i have tried, which is the HC 2.1 rom and the sholes.info one lol. very stable. I am using it with the launcher2 dark/expresso theme one on alldroid. It is super slick, just with the launcher defaulted it to 3rd screen instead of 2nd one. also really like the easy uninstall of apps u hate on there like corporate calender and stuff like that. Wish I could get metamorph working to try the rest of the theme but thats for a different thread :(. . .
 
Grandmaster, I've gone there too as well...since I am the OP of this thread, I guess that's appropriate.

My initial sense of this ROM is that it's as fast and stable as Birdman V4 (high praise, indeed)...now that's with just an hour or so on it, but it has been very good so far. If all the apps moved from /System to /Data has memory usage benefits then this ROM should hold up well over time as well.

What I'm excited about (always looking forward) is the new Alldroid ROM that a group is going to start working on over at Alldroid...that sounds like fun as well.

However, Pete (Bugless dev) is working hard and provide frequent updates...that's really nice. V.5 is coming soon w/multi-touch gallery, and fix for music app crashing in multimedia cradle...
 
.5 is up w/some nice updates, but unfortunately it requires a nandroid recovery to install, so data gets blown away again....
 
I just came from a 2.1 ROM (can't remember which) and this one is SO much faster. I didn't reinstall Home++ and stayed with stock, and am so much happier. If we could have the pinch/zoom gallery that'd be great. Also, he has the new 2.1 backgrounds, but none are animated?

you dont want live wallpapers until 2.1 is fully optimized for them, trust me.

Agreed, like I said in a previous thread, its not a huge deal, just thought it was interesting he took them as "still" wallpapers instead of the animated. But, with how this ROM handles RAM and is so fast, I'm sure it could do animated wallpapers no sweat.
 
Ehh I wouldn't say it could handle it 'no sweat'. It might be a little better then the 2.1 ROM but you will still get some lag and stuttering especially if you have lots of widgets or apps running/
 
anyone having an issue with lagged typing in the browser when using the physical keyboard? I know its pretty specific but its kinda annoying when trying to type in forums and stuff and the phone is lagging like 4-5 words behind me

EDIT:
I am using .4 too

Yes, I have that problem on version 0.4.

EDIT: Affects the built-in Browser and Dolphin Browser. Seems strange that both would have the same lag...

EDIT AGAIN: Wrong; I never tried Dolphin Browser. I apparently have no memory this week...

I also experienced the typing lag on the browser. I also noticed that the text on websites get a little blurry when doing pinch zoom or just scrolling. Overall this is an excellent build.
 
I have to say that this ROM is SMOKING fast.

And I have to say that MUCHO kudos to Joe (Messenger13) for helping a nOOb through rooting and installing this ROM. Joe, hopefully I didn't completely lie down on the job (I have to think that I asked intelligent questions!). He is the MAN (and he even likes Guinness!).

Lovin' life rooted!
 
The keyboard lag in browser isn't really the ROM's fault, no matter what ROM you put the milestone browser on I believe it has this same problem.
 
What do you guys think of the multi-touch gallery? Is it better than the 2.1 gallery?

I'm deciding whether I want to upgrade to v5 or not. Another bummer is that the news/weather widget only works for the weather, and I only use it for the news :(

Well ... i don't feel I did much. I was up to my elbows troubleshoot some Cisco switches that were being stooopeeeed. :(

And you ain't no nOOB. You're just ... "new". ;)

But yea . . . I does like me Guinness. And if you want to try something REALLY good, mix a shot of Captain Morgan with a pint of Guinness. I call it an "Irish Pirate". But be careful ... drink responsibly. :)

Never seen the 2.1 Gallery but this multi touch one is pretty cool. No pinch zoom, but looks great, easy options, multiple ways to display.

But in the end...it's the gallery. It's not like a hard-core app.

Pinch zoom IS multi touch so i dont think you have the right gallery. Make sure you're using Media Gallery, not Gallery.

The pinch zoom is pretty damn cool and smooth in my opinion but its not as feature-rich as the 2.1 gallery
 
After installing v.4, my apps weren't automatically re-installed after setting up my primary gmail account, so I added them via an Astro backup.

However, now none of them are listed in my "downloads" section in the marketplace, and presumably I won't get notice when updates are avaialble...if I search for apps that I installed via Astro they are listed as not installed in Marketplace.

Any ideas on how to fix this, other than going and reinstalling all of them via the marketplace?

Thanks...
