Root [ROM] Liquid Gingerbread v. 2.1 (6/22/2011)

Well, my insurance replacement (which will most likely be a D2, still don't know for sure, though) is coming later today, but I guess I've got time to flash one more ROM.

There is always time for one last flash for the broken down old girl.

So, they don't tell you which phone they're sending as a replacement?

I'm sure they would have but when I called I was greeted by a message that said if I made the claim online that I'd get free next day delivery. As I didn't get a chance to speak to a rep, I have no idea. After thinking about it, I don't know what I'm getting (seems most people are getting D2s, even heard of some getting DInc2s, but I doubt I would), if it'll be a new phone or refurb, or if the phone I get craps out, or if there's a warranty on whatever they send me. I'm sure that'll all be in the paperwork, though.

I will say this, though, it was an incredibly easy experience to make the claim online. Took less than 10 mins, and was very straightforward.
 
Yeah there is always time for one last flash. I had to use my OG Droid this weekend while waiting on my replacement thunderbolt and I took the time to flash all the recent rom releases to it lol! Liquid still seemed to be it's favorite. Good to see them still cranking out updated releases.:D
 
I flashed this over 2.1, and so far so good. Very smooth as the last, and the prob I was having with browsing seems to have gone away. Still too early to tell, but seems solid so far.
 
As an update, I got my insurance replacement, and was quite surprised to find another OG Droid. Seems like it's new, but I have no idea.

So anyway, here I am back to doing what I know best, flashing ROMs on my OG. And the first order of business is seeing just what this new Droid is capable of. First order of business, flash LGB 2.1. I'll let you'se know what I think.
 
Wow, so far I have had no issues with this ROM at all! *knock on wood* I had bad screen redraws right when I loaded it, and bumping up the kernel to 1100 with SetCPU fixed those issues right away. LED notifications are back as well. This ROM is blazing fast! The only thing now is to wait a few days and see how battery life is.
 
I keep trying every new Liquid GB rom version when it comes out, but they just don't work well on my Droid. The stock kernel (an LV variety) kept the phone boot looping, so I loaded a Chevy MV rom and it finally booted. After a while it started to lag horribly. I thought it might be Launcher Pro Plus, but after trying another launcher it turned out not to be the case. I was glad because I like using LPP (especially after buying it)! It also seemed to exacerbate the known Android WiFi dropping issue.

The LIQGIN roms are absolutely awesome, but my phone doesn't like them as much as I do. I always have great hope that each new version will fix whatever issue my phone has, but alas no. But I will keep trying!

Thanks to the developer. If I knew his/her name I would make the thanks more personal.

Well, his name is Liquid. lol The thanks can become very personal in OP's link.

Some phones just don't like certain ROMs or kernels. For instance, my Droid has never really liked Chevy's kernels and his ROM (Simply Stunning). But since you know your Droid likes Chevy's, perhaps you should try his ROM.
 
Mr DudL, or may I call you Yank,

I did try SS5.4 when it came out, but to no avail. The best rom for my phone seems to be CM (7.0.3 now) and I am glad I can use it, but there is something about LGB that keeps beckoning me back. I am backing up my current rom now, and I will reload LGB and try other kernels and launchers. If ll else fails I will gratefully restore CM.

Thanks to you for all of your helpful posts. I read more than I post and I have come to rely on your wise advice and comments.

Why thank you. Usually when someone uses "wise" to describe me, it's usually followed by a three letter word used to describe someone's posterior. And you can call me whatever ya like. :cool:

Yeah, def funny what'll take on some Droids. If you like CM, Ultimate Droid is another option as well, very similar. Lot of options, really. Just gotta keep flashing. I'm def a fan of LGB, all the features I want without the clutter, and plenty of speed.

Let us know how it works out for you. And happy flashing!
