Droid ROM impressions - Kangerade 5.0.9 by jrummy

Support forum for jrummy16 ROM's at droidforums.net

This is a built from source ROM based on Android 2.2

I installed the blue theme.



Kangerade does include an app to run several of the scripts in the ROM. Many more scripts are present and can by ran from the terminal.

Scripts are all located in /system/xbin

The script to change the boot animation (switchba) may not work if a bootanimation.zip file exists in /data/local. To remedy, just download Android Mate from the market and delete the bootanimation.zip file from /data/local.

There are additional goodies that can be loaded into the ROM after successful flashing. It mostly consists of many live wallpapers and boot animations.

Boot into recovery from the script app.

This kernel runs well on my phone. Quite snappy and runs cool. Remember that heat just represents wasted battery power.

Benchmarks running the 1.25 GHz ChevyNo1 Medium voltage Kernel.

It seems that the 1.25 GHz kernel runs hotter and offers very little additional performance over the 1.0 GHz kernel.
