Bugless Beast 1.1 for Motorola Droid is Pretty Snappy

I was a little nervous the first time I rooted my Droid. I was mainly nervous because of the stories I had read about bricked Droids. But those horror stories are few and far between, and the rooting community has so many resources available to make rooting easy to understand. A lot more people are now able to hack their machines without too much worry.

Just last night I loaded the Bugless Beast 1.1 ROM, to replace a DroidMod 1.0 install. So far, I’m very glad I made the switch. Bugless Beast seems so much more “snappy”, for lack of a better term. It’s quick and seems to be lighter on my resources.

Alerted to install 2.1 on a Droid while using DroidMod?

This has happened to me a couple times now, and of course the 2.1 update needs to be declined in order to keep using DroidMod.

If you get alerted to install 2.1 while using DroidMod, even if it happens more than once, the solution is to:

  • Accept the update, and wait for SPRecovery to kick in on your Droid
  • Select the option to just reboot

And that’s it.

Your Droid will reboot and you will no longer be prompted to install 2.1, at least until they push it out again. When that time comes, if it does, you’ll probably be able to do the same thing again to keep it from installing.
