**The Droid Thread**

This is for all you guys (or gals) out there that have phones running Android .

Just got my HTC Aria running Android 2.1 and I absolutely love it! It's really nice and fast compared to Windows mobile!

+1 I liked blackberry for along time, but in that long time the os is still EXACTLY THE SAME. I need something fresh, and faster.

I'm using a rooted HTC Legend Running Cynageonmod 6.1 Nightly. Very fast, intuitive, and customizable. I love it.

Droid 2 here, but I am about to upgrade to X, fascinate or incredible for the wifi hotspot and processor speed. I just wish you could surf the net and use the phone at the same time even if it was slower.

Droid Eries running 2.0. A bit laggy at times but pretty nice.

I have my Motorola Droid rooted, running Bugless Beast v0.5 2.2 and a custom 800MHz low-voltage kernel with wireless tethering support.

That's a limitation of Verizon's 1x and 3G network.

I'm running the droid. It's a pretty legit phone but I might have just bricked it trying to root it from froyo ><

It's nearly impossible to brick a phone by rooting!

OCed mine to 806mhz using a custom kernel, rock stable. 206mhz increase is more than I expected :good:

I have the Fascinate and I like it a lot. Still wish I had my iphone 4 though!

When is my Fascinate getting 2.2?!

Have the Blackberry 8530 now which sucks at web browsing(but when I'm at work, its all I've got for now) but come March 1st will be getting the HTC EVO 4G

I ran 900 on mine using a low voltage kernel!

People I know run 1.2GHz without any issue!

I accidentally bought the wrong case and have an Evo one at home. It's a clear snap on case. If you want it I'll sell it to ya for $13 shipped.

No thank you, I'm pretty hard on my phones, so I'll be getting an otterbox for it, hopefully.

Having the kernal not allowing it to charge, it's very possible lol.

I just WANT a Droid to begin with...

Samsung Vibrant running 2.1 atm. I love it. It's awesome and very light. I'm considering rooting it and getting 2.2 on it, but GPS isn't supported yet, so.

Which kernal are you running?

Lol running those kinds of speed is like taking crack. Sure you will have better performance, but your life expectancy is cut in half.

That's where SetCPU comes in, I have mine set to utilize the speed only when it needs it, so when it's not doing anything it will run around 125-250MHz, but go up to 900MHz when I do need it. I also setup profiles so the max speed is 125MHz when the screen is off, and max speed as 400MHz when the battery is under 30%.

I can't remember the kernel I'm running though, drawing a blank!
