Found my Droid wallpaper

Turns out 7-Zip can uncompress the android APK files. Who knew?

Rooted Droid

Well, I've finally taken the plunge and rooted my Motorola Droid. Started with the SPRecovery and a rooted vanilla Android 2.1. Then really went for it and installed the cyanogenmod. Cyanogen installed easily but seemed to have google voice problems when not connected via Wi-Fi. So I reROMed to bugless beast, and decided to up the ante to the 1.1 GHz kernel.

With bugless my benchmark has me faster than the HTC Incredible. It's blazing fast and has been quite stable, with no Google Voice issues.

Titanium backup has been essential for restoring my apps after flashing new ROMs. It does however not restore desktop widgets correctly. It leaves a placeholder for each widget, but each one must be fully replaced.

Can't wait for a bugless based on Froyo.
