How to find the rom that is right for me

[pc747]

I want to say thanks to Angdroid and team defuse for their support. Fission is a solid rom and a great addition to the droid 2 rom community. Tonight I will be flashing squidly's rom and will spend this week learning and sharing some tips I learned.

Again this thread is not meant or in this thread will I choose or say which rom is better. I just want to point out some tips I picked up from flashing the rom, give some insight into the dev team and their hard work, and allow you the user to decide which rom is best for you.

Thanks for doing this pc!

I hope I don't preempt any special tips you might provide for Squidly's rom, but I would like to share that he has built in scripts to add/remove different apps and parts of Blur. One of the other nice things is that it is really easy to run the scripts to overclock your device - and to remove your overclock settings - just power off and back on! His rom section on this site has been pretty active with people helping people - so don't hesitate to stop in.

I am sorry I did not answer all the questions yet...Just been really busy with work and been spending my free time build 2.4 of Fission for the Droid X, Droid 2 and Droid 2 Global.

I promise I will get back to it tonight...

Thanks for everything you have done for me and droidforums.net same goes for everyone at droidforums.net.

If I never ran across this site I would not be as far into my development as I am now. I learned so much from here and from all the great people on the site.

Some Q/A with Squidlymandingo the developer of squidly roms:

Questions:

1) Tell us a little about yourself

2) what got you into building roms.

3) What is squidlymandingo and what are your future goals for the rom.

4) This rom has a Bugless Beast feel with the scriptybox what inspired you to take that approach.

5) Are their any tips you would like to share to help members get the most out of their rom experience.


Thanks for your time. First off thank you for trying my rom,I was born and raised in the Boston area.I have been working with dc motive power and backup systems for 10 years as my full time job,and in my spare time I work on my car, motorcycle ,and phone(obviously).I started building roms mainly because I was a huge fanboy of Pete and Fab's Nextheme on my D1 and I wanted that same kind of feel.I wanted the ability to have full blur ,a little blur or none without having to flash roms every day.My main goal for Squidly is a stable as stock,fast,and efficient on battery life rom.A few tips I would give my users would be to remove apks you don't need(it's saved to sd if you want to reinstall them),and play with overclocking ,settings every phone is different so find what you like.There are new D2 roms emerging lately and that is great everybody should be able to find a flavor they like.

Hey,

first of all thanks all for this great thread and posts....
I have a milestone 2
Android 2.2
Build number:MILS2_U6_2.2.16

Kernel version:2.6.32.9


I want to use openVPN or similar apps...to install openVPN setting ,it says phone must be rooted...
in this case do i need to install a custom ROM or just rooting the phone is enough?
Because am new to this and i don`t have previous experience..

According to above information,
which method of rooting will be better -easy rooting with quick apps or?

If i need a Custom ROM for using apps like OpenVPN and all...which rom is best one available right now..?


Note:Am sorry,am not sure ,is this the correct thread to ask all these questions..

Thanks for your reply

I think milestone 2 and droid 2 are almost same....milestone 2 is just a GSM version of droid 2...
