Froyo for Droid

http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/motorola-droid/2477-download-froyo-2-2-your-motorola-droid.html
It's been done. I've been struggling with MD5 errors, so I have no experience to share yet.

I have been running Froyo on my Droid since yesterday. I was using a Jrummy remix rom prior to Froyo. Froyo is everything an Android owner can ask in a rom. It is extremely fast. I have set record scores with Quadrant(1464), Link(18.03mflops). The only draw back is the rom i was using previously had apps2sd and I was able to save all of my apps on my sd card and I did not use any phone memory. Froyo has this installed however the developers of the apps have to enable the ability to save apps2sd. Therefore, I had to severly cut back on all the apps I had loaded, but for the speed of the phone it is all worth it.

Developer Pete Alfonso is working on a Froyo version of Bugless Beast. Petes roms always bring the joy. More info;

Big reason I want Froyo up and running is the Bluetooth voicedial support. Unless we can somehow get it ported over from the Milestone...? That's my only complaint with 2.1. P3 kernels give me speed AND battery life on 2.1 so...

good thing I just got a moto droid from a former employee sent in. I cannot wait to give froyo a try (until I can get root on my incredible )

Titanium Backup will let you now load from sd

was wondering if anyone has had any problems installing this back up. Im using chmod recovery and i cant get past the error cant flash boot img. I would greatly appreciate any input.

Um, if I do this will I lose all my apps and such? And it says you loose wifi, do you actually loose the ability to use wifi?

Nevermind, im an idiot...

You are wiping the phone, so everything on the phone is gone. Google should be backing up your info though (you have it checked in your system right?). Contacts are stored in Gmail, so those are safe.
WIFI was edited out of the initial release because it had the info of the developer/employee who owned this Release Candidate and they didn't want that getting back to their employer and costing them their job.
New kernals have been released allowing for overclocked speeds (up to 1200mhz) and Wifi.
I used Titanium Backup and restored my apps that way (because some have data that I've configured and didn't want to reconfigure) but after booting the first time in to 2.2 my phone was dog slow....I noticed it was re-downloading everything automatically that I had downloaded from the market on 2.1. After it fully synced it was flying.
Quadrant benchmark score of 758 @ 1200mhz on OS 2.1
Quadrant benchmark score of 1573 @ 1200mhz on OS 2.2

Do you have to reactivate your phone? And also my phone is unrooted, so I can't use titanium

if your phone is unrooted then you cant even flash this...

Ah, I was thinking it was a bit odd that nothing mentioned you needed your Droid to be rooted, I must have missed something... Anyway, I know you need to reactivate your phone to root it, and I've heard you just need to dial a number and select the first option, but one of my friends said they had to go through a ton of stuff to reactivate their phones. What exactly do you have to do?
Also, would Astro work fine for a backup program?

Been running it for two days now and loving the speed. The baseband is out. It requires you reactivate your phone which is as easy as dialing #228. I haven't loaded the newest baseband but will most likely do it tomorrow. Quadrant scores are insane. Still waiting for Jake's kernel for Froyo. I love being rooted

You do not have to reactivate your phone after root. You do have to reactivate your phone after doing a baseband upgrade.
Astro will backup your apps but it does not restore the market links....so you don't get "update available" when in the market, so you will have to download each app.
Root is getting Superuser access to your phone, kind of like having the admin password to your computer. Changing out Roms, adding themes, etc...is stuff you can do after you gain root.
As for reactivating.....if your account is fine then it's just a matter of pressing "Activate" as presented to you and the pressing "1" and waiting.......until you hear "your phone has been successfully activated, goodbye".
Otherwise it's just dialing *228 then pressing "1".

Hey guys, i've just sold my Omnia 2 for an Milestone (crappy OpenGL drivers from Samsung makes the O2 like sh1t with manilla...)...
I'm kinda new with android, but what is the main diference with Droid and Milestone?
Can I use the Droid 2.2 rom on the Milestone ? Or it means a phone-brick?

[Q] currently in the middle of researching....

ok so my wife is getting frustrated with the bloatware/sense reboots on the mt4gs....(I have stressed to her the importance of backing out of apps the correct way and not task killing but I guess old habits die hard...)
At any rate I'm researching/reading through the threads on here and I've got just a few questions that I haven't seen come up yet (in the same iteration that I'm thinking of)
- How much different is this phone from the Sensation z710e? (aside from screen size & physical keyboard)
- I'd like to just root and remove the bloatware and keep the phone stock (no rom install) [ok, she would like it to stay stock, I'm leaning towards bulletproof myself] so the question is:
Is it possible to stay with factory settings after rooting (s-off)/de-bloating this phone so that she can continue to receive o.t.a updates? (odds are though that o.t.a updates may put her to s-on again, possibly)
- Is there a way to exit the internet browser and have it reset, i.e: press home screen after browsing, then go back into internet and have the home screen come up and not last viewed site?
- sorry for my long winded statement/questions I just kind of think of way too many things at once.
- FWIW, the h-boot is 1.44.0007 so I'm fairly certain I'd have no issue using alapharev and the walkthrough guide on here to s-off and root.
- titanium backup is not recommended for the bulletproof rom? that sucks, but Blue must have his/her reasons. ( I think I'm misreading this but I'm not sure yet, there are a lot of 'link-to' posts in the first post of that thread)
- anyone know if any of the following apps aren't working with the themes or the rom? (yeah I know this would be better geared towards the Bp rom thread but why make two separate posts)
+handcent mms (used in place of stock messenger service)
+beautiful widgets HD
+live wallpapers in general
Sorry for the overly noobish-ness...please be gentle

I don't think you will receive ota updates unless u are not rooted, however there are countless apps that will let you remove anything you want once you are rooted.
I would imagine that if you delete the stock messaging app and you are only left with handcent, it will take over everything automatically and you should have no issues... However I wouldn't try that until you made a nandroid backup in clockworkmod recovery

Ota updates will always be posted onto the forums. The latest one turned the phone s-on and unrooted though, so I didn't try it

I think on this one, the only way to solve it will be to stop using a task killer. You shouldn't be having any problems like this, certainly not to the point of being 'frustrated' with it, so it's pretty conclusive that the task killer is your issue.
The problem is that apps don't get to shut down correctly, any data in use either doesn't get cleared or becomes corrupted, and the longer this process continues the worse it gets.
I know it's hard to kill old habits, but she will continue to have a worse and worse Android experience on any device with any ROM as Android grows unless she stops using a task killer.

Yep, you should have no issues, it's pretty straightforward. You can just run the program, flash superuser and be done with it, but I would also recommend installing Rom manager from the market and updated your clockworkmod to the official one for the device.
Might as well update superuser too, but you can then leave it alone and call it done.
Will be stock and fine until an OTA is applied, then you'll probably lose root and possibly the ability to get it back.
You can install bloater and busybox (as per the bloater thread) and be able to remove stock stuff easily with it once you get root.

(he)
Some people have used titanium and it's been fine, i'm still on the fence about it.
Issue was I was changing a lot of things, and when people restored app data to things i've changed it caused problems - so the best way to handle that was to say don't use it.
I know the thread is long now for the Bulletproof ROM, but in it there are some pretty detailed instructions on how to use Titanium with the ROM that people generally agree upon. I've never tried it so can't say personally.
I'll eventually put it back in, but i'm pretty busy with work right now and getting time in my dev chair is hard - hopefully i'll get a break in my schedule so I can get some work done soon. You should be able to use it, just don't try to restore any data from another ROM or previous version of Bulletproof and you should be alright.
----
Beautiful widgets HD and live wallpapers work fine, never used handcent so can't say, but don't see why it wouldn't work.
If it ends up not working, post in the thread and i'll fix it.

That right there is what makes xda great. ^^^^^
Thank you.
On a side note, the megaupload site was taken down....so I'm daring to ask the following question: the 'how-to-root guide >>>XDA LINK<<< said to d/l other files instead of the ones from alpharev's site.....they were hosted on megaupload. Now what ? lol
Why can't the files downloaded from alpharev's site work?
I see that in the link, the Op said that it is the adb tools for the MT4GS, why wouldn't the current adb tools I have work/ones d/l from alpharev's site?

I've always used the file from the author, I got it from them when it was first available, and just recently when a friend of mine got this phone.
Always works fine for me, and I would rather use the tool from the original author anyways generally speaking.
When you run Revolutionary tool, either install clockworkmod or not at your choosing, it doesn't matter because when you're done with it all you should go to the market and download ROM Manager. Then you can use it to upgrade or install your clockworkmod to the most recent version ( 5.0.2.7 ) directly, it will find the phone, download the right version, and install it for you. Couldn't be easier.
You do have to have superuser (root) access to use ROM Manager, so make sure to root it after running the Revolutionary tool.

i9070 running CyanogenMod 11 with six-day battery life!

I got a used i9070 last week that was still running Android 2.3. After updating it to the official 4.1.2 ROM and then installing the latest CyanogenMod 11 build by NovaFusion team and customizing it, my Samsung S II Lite / Samsung S Advance battery life lasted more than six days without charging it !
The screenshots look dark because the brightness level is set to low and use Twilight, but it looks good on the screen of the device.

After taking this screenshot, I decided to finally charge it. Here are my home and about screens:
ROM: CyanogenMod 11 by NovaFusion (December 2014 release). Relevant installed apps:
AdAway
AFWall+
ES File Explorer
F-Droid
Google Keyboard
Google Play Services (I've kept mainly the Play Store and Calendar)
Intelli3G
List My Apps
Power Toggles
System App Safe Remover
Twilight
Xposed Installer
I keep all synchronization services turned off when I'm not using it. Intelli3G is set to also automatically change the network mode to 2G when mobile data is off. This makes it use a lot less battery than the default 3G mode.
I've also found out that Google Play Services kept wasting my battery even when data and Wifi connections were turned off, so I used the built-in CyanogenMod Privacy Guard app to prevent it from waking the device up.
I've also turned off some animations with the Android developer options, and it feels very fast to use. It's charging relatively quickly too.

put screen shot of "screen on time"
SS you attached don't make any sense bcz there isn't any app you used ! battery life doesn't depend on how many app u installed it depends on how may you actually used !!
plus you even turned off play services so how come one can get notifications depends on it ?!
so put SS of SOT & give proof of you used phone in that 6 day bcz Novafusion is king of lies
bcz one can charge phone and put it aside for 2 weeks also, it may be still on but it don't mean that rom battery backup is good

@jineshpatel30 Not even the most expensive phones would last so much if you actually spent a lot of time touching it. The phone was mostly just connected to the cellular network to receive calls and messages (I'm using it as my main phone and take it everywhere), and the list of apps I posted show what I used to customize it, not everything that is on it. Hence the word relevant.
The point of this thread is that the battery would normally be wasted in a normal install even inside your hypothetical box, and I solved this by automatically disabling everything but the cell signal when I'm not looking at the screen. As for Google Play notifications, I don't need any of them except the calendar one, and I can easily synchornize it in 5 seconds.
When I get a data plan, I'm going to browse maps and some sites daily too, and AdAway and AFWall+ will help me save a lot of battery in relation to a standard install. Even if you use yours to do a lot of things every day, you can gain some battery life by using Intelli3G too.

So basically you r saying that you created this thread just to show "stand by time of i9070 on cm11"
So change thread title to that..
Btw no one is interstated in that !
N also if one wants to sync manually and check all notification by opening apps every time (regarding disabling play service) then i think he shouldn't even buy smart phone !
Whenever you ready to USE yr phone (atleast daily moderate use) check yr battery ...i bet you won't get more than 1.5Hr SOT with 6hr up time

@jineshpatel30 I for one am among the people interested in the longest possible battery life and read many threads on this and other forums to find the best solutions. You keep ignoring the fact that my tips contain things useful for all kinds of users, like automatically changing the network to 2G when you aren't using your data plan. If you prefer to drain your battery as much as you can, just ignore this thread. I don't see the point of coming here just to attack me and the used phone I got as gift.
I assume you're trolling and am going to ignore your replies from now on.

1st of all i'm not trolling.
I'm telling the facts that if you bought a phone atleast you need to let it do some basic things automatically...putting all things manual and blocking necessary apps doesn't make any sense to improve battery life bcz you can charge phone atleast once a day without much trouble.
And if you are telling about improvement with battery life your thread should be "improve battery life with xxx app" not like "6 day battery on CM11" bcz changes you made (blocking) and apps you are using are not specific to any rom.
And inteli3G is very popular app so most of xda members already knew about that. And personally i noticed that it use more battery than you could save by using it IF YOU USE YOUR DATA PLAN EVERY NOW AND THEN (it may be useful if you rarely ise data plan)
So my point is if you make new thread then make it proper..
1st you said 6day battery on CM11 with device you barely used
Then you are saying i'm taking about my configuration ( blocking play service n sync) which normal user can't do
And now about app which can work in any rom !
So be clear what you are telling to ppl and give appropriate name to thread...this will help to to spread right info to more users.
And sorry if you feel like i'm trolling or attacking you , but i'm not

There is already an thread for this:
Battery live post yours I9070/P battery live

Yep, in stand by my Janice have 10 days from charge. New original battery, stock, rooted and Cocore kernel.
But its irrelevant on stand by.

S7 Edge Android 7.0 (Nougat) Performance Guide

Some of this guide may apply to Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) as well. I've honestly forgotten what 6.0 was like since I have been on the 7.0 beta for so long, but some of this is possible on the older software.
So the reason I decided to make this guide was because I recently almost sold my S7 Edge due to poor performance. When I first installed Nougat it was great, but over time the phone got worse and worse. I realize this is an Android thing in general, but it just got to be so annoying that I couldn’t ignore it any longer. I have a vanilla android tablet that flies and when I would switch back to the phone it was almost unbearable. This guide will help out significantly with that issue.
First off you'll want to enable "Developer options". Go to Settings > About device > and then tap on "Build number" 7 times to enable Developer options.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After that go back a page and scroll all the way to the bottom to find Developer options. Click that.
Once in Developer options scroll about 3/4 way down to find three entries that say "animation scale". Change all three entries to "0.5x".
Next we need to go to the Playstore and download an app called "Package Disabler Pro". Yes it's 2 dollars and yes you want/need it.
Before running the app download the .XML file I have attached to this post called "XDA.xml". Now go ahead and open the app and let it load. Next click the three dots in the top right and select "Import from xml". Select the xml file you downloaded from the previous step. This will disable some of the pre-installed apps that you don't need. I encourage you to look through this entire list and click on each item that you would never use, this will permanently disable that app from running or appearing in your app drawer. You can easily undo it at any time by clicking the apps name again (taking the check out of the box). Just to let you know I have 33 additional apps disabled other than the ones in the "XDA.xml" file, I have all kinds of stuff disabled that I don't use; gear vr, gear manager for watches, android pay (I use Samsung pay), S-voice (I used google dictation for everything). I really encourage you to go through and get rid of anything in there that you don't use, it will help the phone out a lot. Once you're done reboot the phone.
When the phone boots up go to the "Device maintenance" section of the settings menu. I at first ignored this section as I felt that it was gimmicky an unnecessary, but then realized that it's actually very useful.
First let’s go to "Performance mode". There is a ton of stuff you can do with this, but I am only going to address one of them. Click on "settings" and then "Screen resolution". Change it to 1920x1080 (FHD). You can always change it back if you really need something such as VR, but most of the time you will not be able to tell that there was a change in resolution.
Next go back to Device maintenance and select "RAM". This menu allows you to close out things from RAM that you don't want running. The problem with this is that Linux (Android) prefers to have apps stay in RAM instead of having to reload them each time you open them, so closing them is kind of counterproductive. Not only that but almost everything that you close from this menu will re-enable itself in the next few minutes anyway. This menu, like the "Battery" section, gives you a look at things which are running that you may not know about. I went through this list and uninstalled apps that I didn't even use so that they weren't just hanging around running without me knowing. A lot of the apps on this list were running and I never even opened them to begin with, that kind of bugs me. I got rid of the ones I could and then used Greenify (more on that in a minute) on the others. Any apps on this list that you for sure never opened, need to be added to Greenify (see next section for instructions) because they are running themselves and using resources.
Now for Greenify. Go to the playstore and download the "Greenify" app and follow the instructions to set it up. It takes a few steps to setup but you only have to do it once. Pay attention as some of the steps are a little tricky and they all must be enabled for the app to function properly. Once installed you will use Greenify to hibernate the apps that you found from the previous section (ram manager) that you don't want awake all the time. Some apps just run themselves without asking you first and sit there consuming battery. I would first decide whether you even need that app to begin with and if you do, then go ahead and Greenify it. Something to note here is that if you Greenify an app that NEEDS to stay awake to work, such as a chat program or music apps, they won't work properly. These apps are easy to spot because they have little blue "gcm" icons next to them, so be careful. To add an app to the "Greenify list" (auto hibernation) just hit the + button in the top right to start adding them.
Once you're done with all that, your phone should be flying. It's not even the same phone anymore really. One thing I want to point out is that the Samsung keyboard on Android 6.0 was trash. It was a completely unusable piece of non-working trash. The auto correct couldn't keep up with any reasonable typing speed, so no words would be corrected at all and you would be left with a mess of a paragraph. I solved that with Swiftkey originally, but for some odd reason it was never blazing fast on this phone. It caught every single mistake, but when you were typing there was just enough lag to kind of throw off your typing speed and it looked like crap. I am happy to say that on Android 7.0 the new Samsung keyboard is the best keyboard I have ever used. They FINALLY got it right after all these years. Honestly all of their keyboards have sucked. They could never seem to get them right, whether it was lag or just plain non-functioning auto correct, it was always something. This one is perfect and if you're using Swiftkey I would uninstall it as it continually reruns itself even when you force close it. It's also a resource hog, so if you don't need it, get rid of it.
There is it, you should be good to go with these small adjustments. A lot of you don't even have 7.0 yet, but when you do at least you will have a head start. There is nothing worse than paying $800 for the latest smartphone only for it to be a laggy mess. Hopefully this helps somewhat with that problem.

Good advice. I just got my S7E the other day. I was (am) so disappointed there is no root for this device. My other android is a note 4 and there is a huge development community, so that's what I've been used to for the past 2 years. I'm missing little things that you can do with root... Ad away for 1, and honestly 3minit battery and 3minit clock. Like I said little things.
And to be honest, the S7E doesn't feel "that" much faster than my Note 4. Which has got me scratching my head. It's faster but not the night and day difference I expected.
Well I look forward to nougat. And using these tips. Thanks!

I've disabled animations and disabled or removed bloat apps for years. I find I have to do a complete reset every couple weeks or so since being on beta. It gets HORRIBLE lag that no amount of cache clearing fixes.
PDP can actually ruin battery life as dependent apps are constantly running, searching for and not finding other apps they're tied to.

My phone has been amazingly smooth for 2 weeks now, night and day difference. I agree, if you get carried away with disabling packages it can be counter productive. I've gone through and just disabled anything I didn't recognize, like 200 things disabled LOL Yea getting carried away with that program can cause some serious problems. I only disable things that are clearly apps that I wouldn't use and a couple others that I know for certain are insane battery hogs like the tmobile carrier IQ service that logs your every action (I forget the name at the moment but it's disabled in my XDA.xml).

Force the app, and clear it's cache and data before disabling it. I was ready to deal with the root issues to Uninstaller a bunch of apps when PDP failed to extend my battery life, but someone in another thread suggested cleaning the app and it worked wonders for me.

Ohk

Guide updated to add Greenify section, remove redundant and (non useful) section, and new XDA.xml app uploaded.

I think using (a) Package Disabler is maybe one of the most important steps! Including a pre-done .xml to help people disable bloat is fantastic. GREAT JOB! Thanks given!

is there a difference if I just go into setting, applications and just disabling the app from there? is the app necessary ?

You can't disable services with the in OS settings, only applications and not system applications.

Sounds like the right thing to do, but since we have no real backup of our ROM, what does one do if the changes made by this app are not to the liking of the user? How can this process be reverted back to prior of the making of these changes?

Question Non Rooted Pixel 7 Pro

Okay Ive had some time using this phone and came to a conclusion, I don't need root on this phone.
Now of course root gives us the power but I have found some applications and a few workarounds to get the best overall performance on this Pixel 7 Pro.
1.Shizuku apk.
This app is sorta like a su app with of course no system level privileges.
(I use this app for ,Better Internet Tiles,
Carrier Vanity Name and Dar Q ..)
2.Package Disabler apk.
This app can debloat most apps.
3.System UI Turner apk.
This app can enable and disable hidden features within the ROM.
4. My new favorite non rooted app that can lock the CPU frequencies.
Max All CPU (non root) apk.
This app actually works which shocked me.!!
5.Adguard apk.
So basically having a pixel device has been the same experience as my rooted devices running pixel experience roms.
Of course better screen (AMOLED) wireless charging and IP68 rating etc...
In a nut shell one can enjoy this device without root.
Please list applications or adb commands or anything that can improve the overall performance of the pixel without root..
Thanks..

What you're asking is nearly impossible. You can disable some apps, but installing more will just slow down your device. There are no ADB commands that will "improve performance" either.

I can't speak to ADB commands (I doubt there's any, i figure OP's asking for "special commands" that gain some special access to change a particular setting), I think what OP is going for is methods/apps like Greenify -- which is debatable because, as I understand it, Android OS does a whole caching or keeping apps in a low background state as to not use up more power & resources to start them back up again; I only ever seen it discussed when users discuss the merits of "closing all apps" (also discussed on iphones) and/or how it is different than "closing programs" in Windows (this might've been a different case on older versions of Android [as I recall finding it necessary to do such methods on my Motorola Droids {1,3,4}])...
But agreed, without root access, what can be done is so limiting that it's hardly going to make a noticeable difference. if anything, one must trust Android OS developers that they're making the most out of resources ("under the hood") and not wasting them...

Interesting!

Debloat via windows cpu using :
(UAD) Universal Android Debloater, works on Android 14 beta 3.1 in case anyone is curious..
I've noticed less battery drain when i uninstalled google calander,vzw.apn.lib, digital wellbeing, YouTube music, Gmail, and few others..

Of course, when u disable more app, more battery gain. But then, what do u use your phone for? (Uninstall calendar, Gmail?)

4ADatabase setedit mod that has my pixel 7 pro flying and with no overheating.
Running this mod on android 14 beta 3.1..
I saw this mod in a thread somewhere that works without root just the app.
My cpu clock speeds are now stable and don't fluctuate like I'm used to on a rooted phone that i would max out my cores for best performance
.
See my pics.. This phone really needs no root or custom rom
..I need all my banking apps , hold for me and all stock pixel exclusives...
Happy modding without root..

I really appreciate your informations. Anyway the way you tell everbody "you dont need root" is patronizing. People root for many reasons. And its a lot easier to play around with mods if you have root. I never had problems with root since the first Android Phone.

No noticeable difference.. I spent 3 hours on calls, took some video shots, watched about 1 hour of YouTube, used Android Auto and maps while driving down the coast for about an hour.
Came home about 6 hours later still had %65 left in the can.... Battery life has always been good even on A13..

Patronising. lol
I guess one only reads and gravitates to one subject.
I've been rooting, building, baking roms ,flashing etc..since 2009.. This phone is the only phone that I've owned that I've never rooted ..I repeat 14 years of android modding and this phone makes me not want to root it ..
Why does that bother you?
Don't answer I know why..
Lastly, Those of us who are enlighten know something.
Ill throw one bone for your everyone roots for various reasons post
Theres 5 main factors why one roots per national surveys and repetitions.
1.Bloatware/crapware removal
2.Modders/Devs love to tinker and are just enthusiast..(Love That)
3.Google haters. (Micro G lovers) Some hate the Google advertisement practices, Google is an advertisment company remember that part.
4.Hackers, enough said on that..
5.Ability to customize there device to ones own liking..
Many more but you know that already..
So what have we learned today class?

"Why does that bother you?" Nothing you mentioned above bothers me, its your attitude.
"Lastly, Those of us who are enlighten know something." -> Attitude
"So what have we learned today class? " That i am right about you and your attitude.
And yes this is highly subjective and just like your tips about not rooting you maybe take a thing out of my critics.

You should put a tutorial together for the devices that are bootloader locked or just do not want to root. Good information here

Enabled (VONR ) Voice Over New Radio=5G
I've read many pixel users say that phone reception is not that good.
Being on Verizon wireless towers i have no dropped calls and calls are super clear with the clear calling option enabled in settings.
This app( pixelIMS.apk ) enables VOLTE, VONR,apn option to add can be enabled although its blocked on spectrum so i still cant edit my apns..and a few other features.
Give credits to the developer of this app on GitHub..
App requires shikuku or root..

NFC works on Beta 14 _3.1
Tested it on a train and made a google pay purchase at the store. Even worked with my bulky case on.
