Bugless Beast 4.0.3 available on ROM Manager. Any info?

[alucard9114]

Wiped everything via ROM Manager menu prompt. No backup needed as I've been playing around with ROMS today and whatever I end up on will be a clean install regardless.

1quickv6, I've had no issues since I picked up my phone on Thursday with reception, indoors or out. It's been a fantastic experience all around, BB making it even more so.

Same here im a happy camper.

you may have pulled your battery too soon.


after installing the rom the boot animation may seem to go on forever, as the operating system comes up for the first time. The animation seems to loop indefinitely until it is done.

Or did you have it truly cycle power>?

I would recommend manually downloading the ROM to your /sdcard. manually boot recovery, wipe and install.

Its a great rom with a pretty fantastic surprise coming soon.

THANKS!!!! So do i have to use Rom manager to download it? im a lil confused, on my OG droid i used to long press X to get into recovery then load roms up that way, but its benn FOREVER since ive done it. Im kinda a newb all over again. Do i download it from Rom manager, go into recovery then find it and load it? OR do i need to download it from this site put it on my sd then do it that way? Thanks again for the help!

And I've heard it can cause some issues with the software if you try to do a *228. SO DON'T DO IT!

Haha....I didn't know that. I tried several times. Fortunately, VZW blocks your phone from updating with that. I don't seem to be having any issues so guess I'm in the clear.

You can download from Rom Manager - but seems like the one on RM is from 12/20. Peter has uploaded a new one on his site dated 12/22. Download site: ROM - Downloads (verizon LTE version). You can then put on your phone - and flash via rom manger, or go directly in CWM

Is there any info on these Roms? On his site there is no info as for what he did and they are still listed as nightly, to be expected, but how stable are they?

I've been running Android HD and have not had a single issue, although I haven't noticed much of a difference either.

You can use ROM manager, but I prefer to use clockworkmod and it's recommended to use rather than ROM Manager in a few cases. CWM usage will be very similar to what you're used to on your OG droid. Download the ROM and save it to the /sdcard directory. Boot to recovery (hold down both volumes while powering on, then up arrow to recovery and press power, from there it should look familiar).

Bugless Beast has a good rep as being stable. Pete's Alpha releases are more stable than some final releases.

Last night's build of BB is running great for me. It may be a little choppy, but maybe my phone was still loading some apps. Anyhow, if Android HD is working for you I would wait a few revisions until BB gets even better. After 4.0.3 OTA hits the air and any of it's improvements get integrated would be a good time.

I've been running the ROM Manager version for a little over 12 hours, so it's still way too soon for me to give any good reviews. I will notice that first impressions seem to greatly increase battery life and some transitions (opening apps; switching between apps) seem to be noticably improved. I'm coming from the d1 where I ran BB for nearly it's entire lifespan. I'd stray occasionally, but would always come back to the stability of BB. Looking forward to the developmental progression of the Nexus and 4.0 with BB.

Newest build is running very smooth for me so far. An a special bonus, despite the fact I never set up tethering, it is working no problem with my phone now on BB. Of course, I won't use it, as I don't want to get a crazy bill from Big Red since I don't have a tethering plan. I just surfed a little bit while both USB tethered and wifi tethered to verify it worked. Did not try bluetooth tether, but I assume it works as well.

That is outstanding news. I knew it was only a matter of time.

Anyone else try the built in screen cap (power and volume down) I can't get it to work with 4.0.3 builds, but it worked with Pete's 4.02. I know it's tricky but no success yet.

Otherwise - SUPER SMOOTH ROM! Running at faux123's kernel @ 1.35ghz and added 4th softkey and hidden menu keys - and Nova Launcher for scrolling docks.
