Original Droid 1.0 owners – boost the speed of your phone and make room for more apps with Ultimate Droid ROM.
After rooting my Motorola Droid 1.0, I was intrigued to test out a new ROM. The most common ROM is Cyanogen Mod, which I used (v6). I wasn’t totally sold on it – Cyanogen didn’t offer me much more than the stock ROM. I knew there were numerous other ROMs out there.
After some research, I found other Droid 1 users who had tested various ROMs and indicated that Ultimate Droid seemed to offer the fastest experience, though with fewer features than others (especially now that Cyanogen 7 has lots of great bells and whistles). However, after installing Ultimate Droid, I immediately noticed the increased speed over Cyanogen and the stock ROM.
After poking around a bit, I found other great features normally reserved for other stand alone apps: CPU over clocking and forcing use of the SD card for app installs, among other things.
Of course, this all goes without saying: you need to root your Droid first. Thankfully, I found a super simple way to do that.
