Things that still need to be fixed:

Although it HAS been reported that the lights will work if you turn auto-brightness OFF, I have not tested it yet (just now getting ready to flash it).
Happy ROMming and remember to make a backup!

I HOPE that works. Guess there's only one way for me to find out - time to flash!

I can confirm that the button lights (not keyboard) WILL work if auto-brightness is turned off. The ROM works brilliantly for a Beta!

The keyboard does NOT do speech to text, which is a major bummer for me as I use it all the time.

Camcorder does not work. Everything else (including A2DP BT voice dial) works as far as I have tested. Not many customization options here, but it IS a Beta. Be advised.

For a ROM that Motorola and VZW said wouldn't work on the Droid1, it's working pretty well. GREAT JOB BLACKDROID!

Confirmed and agreed. Seems snappy.

I have to agree.
To me, there are just a few tweaks that need to be made and I would seriously consider using this build day to day.

 

[johnlgalt]

I'm using it as a daily build right now.

I've owned my DROID over a year, I'm pretty damned positive I know which softkey I'm pressing when I press one. Lights? Who needs them?

As for the camera / camcorder, well, I have a camera to keep with me anyway, so it is not imperative that I get it immediately.

I drive for a living and use speech to text while driving so it's a MUST for me....haven't tried UD3 yet, hope the final release will have speech to text, until then I'll keep enjoying UD 2.5

I had this issue with a past ROM and I'm having it again with 3.0. My Gmail is not constantly updating. I have it set up to sync in accounts, but I have to physically refresh to receive emails. Anyone have any thoughts? Should I delete the account and reset it up?

Yes it does. You just have to download the google speech ad on in the market.

Is this (the thing the OP posted) an updated operating system?

Yes kinda...it's a beta rom of gingerbread.

Did you manually set up the account in the first place or did you do a Titanium backup restore?

If you manually set up the account, it cannot hurt but I suspect that something else is at play.

If you restored - definitely reset up - restoring via TiBu in a Beta ROM is probably not a good idea.

 

[scottsdca]

Go to settings, manage apps, all apps, gmail and clear cache and data. That will fix it.

 

[lbaxter]

Well, I have UD 3.0 up and running (great so far), and when I originally flashed it, the sweet screen off/on animation was working. But, then i ran TiBu and ever since, the animation won't come back. Any thoughts?

 

[lbaxter]

I also tweaked some other settings that MIGHT be related (like disabling boot animation, which I would like to restore, just can't remember where it was!).

Ok, found the setting and selected "restore boot animation." However, it did not restore said boot animation...grf
