there is no theme.

its just the Launcher2.apk
which gives you 2.1 features, but its buggy.

from what I have read, bricking is hard to do.

you wont get the 2.1 update either. but its rather useless any way

you will void everything. if you get caught. but you can easily un root to take your phone in for servicing.

upside, is more speed and apps. like screen caps and wifi tether

install the sdk tools from google
or
root your phone, and install drocap2
or
use a home alternative app (such as home ++ or gde) but these will usually let you take screen shots of the home screens.

with the other two you can do any thing.

I did some research on this yesterday, and it turns out lots of people have this problem. While one person claimed that the cause is a free antivirus program that I also had on my phone, it appears that the real problem is that the default setting on the phone is to clear them all when you hit 1000 texts. Having a long-distance "friend" (and hating to talk on the phone), we pile up the texts. I've now maxed out the message setting (5000), and have also downloaded a text backup program.

Had my 1st big problem with the Droid last night. I was using it to guide my band to a club in Trenton. Had it plugged in on the way down there to my car charger but for whatever reason it never charged. In fact it almost seemed like it drained the battery extra fast. So of course the phone battery died after we got there.

On the way home even though I plugged the Droid back into the car charger and it seemed to actually be working now it wouldn't let the maps start. Not sure if it needs a certain amount of charge to work even if it's on a charger, no idea. So I start going towards the Turnpike because at this point I have no idea where I am and no other way to navigate.

We decided to stop and get something to eat before we got on the Turnpike. During this break I decided to check if there were any updates for Google maps. Well there was and after applying the update and restarting it started working again. Only problem now was that it took me in the exact direction I just drove, like 10 miles out of the way, to get us back to where my band lives in PA.

So the little glitch cost me like 30 to 45 minutes.

Did you leave the screen on while driving with it plugged into the lighter?

The phone will die if you do it that way, the phone uses more energy then it seems to get while charging if you use it while its plugged into the lighter.

Ive used it at home plugged in, screen on the highest setting, online while playing music and the battery still died.

The screen was on most of the 2 hour drive yes. I just left it on my lap as I drove, screen on, plugged into the car charger I bought from Verizon. After I got the maps to work again on the ride home I left it on just as I did on the way down but this time it charged instead of dying.

Kinda fucked up, not sure what that even means. I did notice the Droid felt like it was a little warm but I chalked that up to just sitting in some sun as I drove. Maybe there was some charging issue on the way down. I don't know but I was fairly pissed. I needed to go up 206 and when I didn't know how to get there I was forced to use a road I knew how to get off so I chose the TPK. That put me way out of the way and if my Droid hadn't started working I'd have still been at least 30 minutes out of my way by the time I knew where I was as I traveled north.

To metamorph(change apperances):

DL metamorph from the market.

Goto droidforums.net, alldroid.org, xda. wherever.

Look for thread that have (MM) (metamorph) and the like in them.

Click it. You will see pictures of what the metamorph is.

Some will be just changing colors of text in the pulldown, change the battery icon, or even change the status bar color.

DL the metamorph if you like it.

Place at the root of your sd card.

open metamorph via phone. run the checks

then select pick theme and go to the zip file that you dled and select it, then hit apply all.

You can also use several metamorphs at once as well.

but always do a nandroid backup before, as it may mess your phone up.








Andvanced nandroid backup:

Boot phone into recovery (Hold the physical x button and power button until you see the new screen)

Select backup/restore.

select advanced backup.

choose back up name(name it something newer or w/e) you will need to use the physical keyboard. When using the DM updater it will usually do the backups for you but this will be named so you know what it it.

select all options.

perform backup. (it takes a bit)

then back out and restart the phone.

then you can metamorph.

DM 1.0 can be metamorphed. but make sure you get the metamorphs that work with your rom. which would be 2.0.1

It's the price you pay for having apps run in the BG. It can drain the battery, but the plus is almost zero load time. If you are jumping back and forth between apps, leave them running. If you are not going to use them again, kill 'em.

Go trade it back in. It's not supposed to drain that quickly, especially if you shut off apps with Task Killer.

There's a glitch I got a couple times where the battery registered dead but when I plugged it into a charger it suddenly went back up like 60%. That may be your problem, but if it's happening so often, fuck it. Make them give you another one while you still can.

I read a few pages of Mexi's link, and I do understand that for the most part the apps won't drain your battery. The key phrase is "for the most part". There are some poorly-written apps out there, though, so I'm keeping the app killer in case it's needed. One app I downloaded back in December was one of those, and it would kill my battery in less than a couple of hours. I deleted it within a day, mainly because I was concerned with the phone overheating.

Traded the devour in for the full droid today. The only advantages were a slightly better keyboard
, and it slides open easier. Everything else sucked compared to droid. Volume on calls was really bad too.

Well did anyone wait for the 2.1 update? I don't like that they didn't put in more homescreens, but it is faster. Gallery is nice with the multitouch. I couldn't find the Google earth app though.

I'm running Droid Mod 1.0 and I received the 2.1 upgrade notification.

For those of you in the same boat this is how you get rid of the update notification.

http://alldroid.org/roms/motorola/droid/adamz/roms/OTA.Blocker.rom.tgz

click that and put it in the root of your sd card. Then do a recovery boot and install it from the sd card as you did when you put in DM 1.0

Mind you that if you do this you will not be able to receive any more updates from verizon. If you ever want the updates you will have to download them yourself.

downfall is voiding warranty.

It can be reversed.

Whether or not it is worth doing depends on how much you enjoy little differences.

The popular opinion is that the wifi tether makes it worth it. Although you can tether via pdanet app without rooting the wifi tether when rooted makes tethering easier.

but do you know what vresion it is?

the leaked version was the first to come out which I believe has been remotely shut down.

then there were several Beta builds from swype themselves (off their website)

and then they shut that down.

there is only one version as far as i know that is still working

It is the BETA build 5612 which i was lucky enough to get directly from them, but it is also around the webz as well.

you might have the leaked version, the ways to tell is how do you get between different keyboards?

and what does the word prediction thing look like whne it pops up?

I completely agree. It takes great pics with sufficient light. But a couple of weeks ago I saw an acoustic Cracker show, and despite being close and with pretty good lighting I couldn't get a usable shot.
From a few posts ago, I wholly agree wide field pictures in low light with this thingee just don't work. Grainy, blurry shite.
You can understand why the builders would do this though. A few good flashes and the battery is spent. It's not really a high voltage flash like you would get from an SLR. It's just a bot more than a light. I lost my light meter or I'd give it a whirl.

One thing that has worked is getting very close to the subject...like a one foot or so.

Is that stupid? yes. :wacko: prolly not much you can do about it.
