It just stayed at the motorola symbol. i downloaded it then extracted the update.zip. I put it on the card and rebooted to install it.

Just curious - So you used sprecovery to enable update.zip install and then executed the update.zip install and the install completed, and then when you selected reboot from the recovery menu you got stuck at the moto logo - never got to the boot animation?

He's uploaded an 8.2 nandroid if you want to try that....
 
Wow ... I almost just got totally bummed out! Thank goodness for nandroid backups!

(Still using 0.4) I just booted into recovery and tried to push my custom framework-res.zip file to change my notification bar icons. I've been doing this to the past 5 to 10 ROMs that I've installed, no big deal. So I'm finally getting around to doing it to this one. After pushing the file, I reboot and my DROID goes into the infinite loop of boot animation! :eek: :eek: :eek: WHAT THE ?!?!?!?! :confused: :( :mad:

Fortunately, I was able to do a nandroid restore of just the system partition and she booted up just fine. All back to normal. :)

But now I'm really starting to wonder what the heck Pete is doing here. ??? I tried updating to 0.8, but AdFree stopped working and I couldn't get a file written where it needed to be. And now, my custom framework-res.zip file can't get pushed to the phone without semi-bricking it. Hhmmn...

Something's not right here. Just sayin'...

Yeah that's what I did...I just did it over with the new update. I was scared from a minute because it sat there but all is well now.
 
sorry i didn't mean the real one like 2.1 from android or whatever, i meant its not a bunch of 2.1 parts mixed in with 2.0.1. its a 2.1 rom. its nice, its smooth, barcode scanner isn't working as well. gtalk didn't work as well, but it seems few restarts and it works better, multitouch browser that installed and then reinstalled on 2.1 sucks, it kinda broke it haha. but its ok, i am going to fix it asap, i have a nandroid back up of 2.0.1 so yeah. i guess we will see what happens. i am liking it, its smooth

8.1 and I think 8.0 had problems due to a problem w/symbolic links and busybox.../system was full right at install. That was the main problem Pete fixed in 8.2.

Then the infinite loop w/8.2 was supposedly due to Pete putting the bootanimation.zip file in two places in the ROM, if I understand his explanation. That is fixed in the current 8.2 download. <phew>

Glad 8.2 installed and ran smoothly for me! Spending too much time on the droid as (or so my wife tells me!). :D

I might upgrade to 0.8.2 tomorrow to see if he fixed some of the issues. Me not being able to customize my notification bar icons is NOT cool! ;)

I did the same thing! It looks like the alldroid thread is going berserk about it on page 50 or so?
I guess you were supposed to remove any files he moved to /data/app in previous versions before pushing the update file.
Thank heavens for nandroid!
I think I'm gonna hold at v8.0 until he figures out whats wrong
 
look at the screenshot on the 8.2 release page and how it has the glassy look, my music and power contol have the glassy look but not the weather? hmm
 
I keep getting the infinite boot screen too. Haven't had any previous version so I shouldn't need to omit any /data/app files. Don't think it's ready yet.
 
didnt even realize that the bugless beauty fused with the glass theme from the glass theme rom, sweeet might be trying this one out again now
 
8.3 is out...loaded it and it runs fine, and fixed a couple of minor issues. there is an update.zip and nandroid available.
 
8.3 is amazing.. i think i had V6 and the changes are good and its not as glitchy.. v4 was glitch free, v6 was glitchy and v8.3 is good
 
I've been running 0.8.2 at 1GHz all evening. SMOKIN'!!! :cool:

I'll go checkout 0.8.3. See if it is different enough to make the move.

Did you have to do anything special to make the overclock boot image work well w/v8? Have you been monitoring temperatures at all? E.g., sensor list from the market.

I've been running v0.8.3 at 1GHz for a while now. Any of the overclock boot images will break wifi, so you'll need to flash the tiwlan_drv.ko file that is provided in the overclock thread.

Other than that, it's all good from there on. After a particularly tasking amount of use, I took a look at the temperature of the CPU with sensor list and it was running at 37 C. That's a bit warmer than at stock, but well within reasonable temperatures.

As for battery life, it doesn't seem to have suffered too much compared to stock. I've been using my phone moderately for about 5 hours and I've used 30% of my battery.
 
I'm still running v6.
I've loaded v8 twice.
Got the boot loop the first time and did a nandroid restore to v6
The second time i did the factory wipe then used nandroid restore method and lost all of my apps. Redownloading them is a major PITA so i went back to v6 again.

I'm confused on what files he needs me to delete so I can just do a (no data loss) update.zip. I have root explorer. Any help?
