I had CM on my Droid 1 and Droid 2, I'm looking to put it on my Bionic. I do have a few questions hopefully someone can help me with.
1) What's the most stable build everyone's using right now? I'm thinking stock version
2) If I understand SafeStrap correctly there's your stock side (partition?) and your experimental side to load roms onto. If this is my first time loading a rom on, do I have to wipe everything off my phone? It seems counter-intuitive to even have a safe side if you're wiping the whole phone. Or am I misunderstanding something?
Thanks,
Right now, the most stable/functional builds are the motorola official OTA and builds based on it. Though, there's some issues when the guys releasing the ROM try to clock the thing at 9 billion ghz by default (SMH). Personally, I don't like trying to use Google Now on ICS either. It just REEKS of hacked in code that doesn't work right.
CM10 and AOKP Jellybean, both by STS-Dev-Team are decent. Most things work well, some not as well (video playback on youtube STILL doesn't always work for me). You're not going to be able to use the stock camera app on any JB builds until we have the JB leaks out from Moto and can rape and pillage it for the proper drivers and libs.
CM9 and AOKP ICS work the best after the Blur based ROMs. You'll get the working camera, video playback. Bluetooth is still buggy in that, IIRC.
All flavors of CM and AOKP exhibit the screen resize bug when rotating or taking a screenshot. You're not going to get away from it, but you will get used to it.
In regards to Safestrap, you're definitely misunderstanding it. You UNINSTALL BOOTSTRAP FULLY (as in disable it, too) before installing the Safestrap app in your blur stock build. Or, theoretically you can use whatever the F you're running as your safe side. Obsidian has messed around using 3rd party Blur ROMs instead of the stock ROM as his starting point, so you may want to pick his brain. When you reboot, you enter Safestrap with the menu button on your phone's face. From there, you can create up to 4 slots to install ROMs to. Install your ROM, reboot, and it's running that ROM. You can re-enter Safestrap at boot and select a different slot to boot from (or the Stock "unsafe" side) and reboot again and you're in that ROM. You don't have to wipe your original system to use it. In fact, that's kind of the whole idea is that you don't have to wipe out your daily driver to run other stuff on the side.
