After quite some time of strictly commenting on Droid Life, Tim was offered an opportunity to write feature stories for the site, such as custom ROM overviews, as well as interviews with Android community members. Following success of those, Tim became a full time writer and editor for Droid Life, now spending his time on news articles, device reviews, producing videos, and much more.

  • Where did that sweet wallpaper come from??? That's what I want??? REALLY though, anyone know where to get it?

  • ive tried to install lithium mod 2 already and it wont reboot and wen i turn it on and go to rom manager it says failed

  • nevermind i figured it out, is it just me or does it seem like it takes longer to download things as the battery gets lower?…

  • love this theme…anyone know how to get the phone/sms/gmail/market that is at the bottom of the launcher? thanks guys!

    • Download launcherpro or launcherpro plus

      oops didnt see it was a different dock, sorry…..

  • So many bugs in this rom. I just installed the new cyanogenmod v6 RC3 for rom manager and it rocks. I'll stick with this for awhile until lithium mod brings something out better. It's really only between these two in my mind. 😉

  • First time doing a ROM and it installed perfectly with all the info you guys give. My only question is about the first screen shot. Where do I get that time and weather widget? Also where do I get that bottom touch bar with the Phone, SMS, Gmail and Market selections? Cheers!

  • Best looking rom I have seen so far!!! Is it me? or does it seem like the signal strength is not as good with this rom. I never droped call on the droid before. But with this one i have dropped a few.. Do Roms change the way your phone works? (for calls). Does the calling part of the phone get changed alot with all the roms?

    • signal has nothing to do with the rom that is in your baseband and unless you have changed that the next thing that will effect it is your area

  • help!!! i rooted phone, and when i tried downloading this ROM a bunch of stuff went wrong, and as i recovered it and did some other stuff i think i might of wrecked my phone. nothing will load up but the motorola screen at the beginning of boot. The clockwork recovery loads, but it doesnt have any of my backups on there. is it possible i wiped my phone out completely? what do i do

    • I venture to say you used easy root? Good news is it's fixable bad news you need to grab RSD lite and the 2.0.1 sbf after that follow the steps to go to 2.1 with sp recovery. And then flash a rom in rec

        • like a smooth buttered charm..lol thanks again!
          i do have another question though if ya dont mind, if i go to change roms, do i have to go back to the vzw a855 first or can i just download one from rom manager and go?

  • This Rom Rocks! Iv been trying all the different roms as they came out for the droid one. I found one that i like! No way. I like the colors. Only problem i had was the Maps using the Labs. Force close. Very hard time removing the maps, would not uninstall. Untill i remember the good old program.
    (Root Explorer) Got-R-Done. Great Rom. Thanks..

  • What does it mean when the red eye then the words DROID keeo alternating back and forth? It wont finish rebooting from my Gala instal…wahhhhh Help?

  • Try the collision theme its all the themes mashed into one its preety beast also try the intigeration and black and bold themes the evo theme as well but kellex really should've posted the collision theme

    • When you post something for everyone don't expect credit to come your way but be thankful when it does

    • We aren't advertising YOUR dock at all. I really like your dock and share with people all the time.
      That was my personal home screen. I didn't STEAL anything. Ay caramba…

      • I'm very grateful, but I feel like my stuff goes noticed. This is the SECOND time that this has happened lol.
        Sorry for acting like a whiny baby. I just want some exposure. And, the dock is a huge part of the home screen, pretty much a focal point. I didn't mean to bark at you, I just get super “In the moment”.
        Thank you for using my dock. I'm glad you like it. Again, sorry for semi-overreacting.
        <3

      • Also, it says “theme by “Hexzamatic”.” and that to me usually means everything that consists of it.

      • Oh, and one more thing. I checked out your music, and it's pretty good 🙂
        (I'm not bipolar lol)

      • BY THE WAY, OFF TOPIC, Have you heard of the band “Abriel”? Their pretty good. I just listened to them.

    • holy cow dude. calm the hell down. is your dock available for download? for free? how the hell was it stolen? If you want exposour then your doing it wrong. you should be happy everytime you see/hear of it being used. You shouldnt be freaking out because you didnt get the credit you think you deserve.

      btw I liked your dock but I wont be getting it just because how you reacted here. I wouldnt want to “steal” it any way.

      • I get why he’s mad though, I mean if someone else was taking credit I’d be mad. But if no one was taking credit for it and it was just shared then kudos!

    • Dude it’s called custom theme friday….not custom dock friday. Your dock background has nothing to do with the theme. If you want credit for your dock backgrounds sell them. but when you put them out there for others to see and use, don’t expect to be given credit all the time. Damn.

  • Forget my last comment. I found the fix. Go here—>http://www.droidforums.net/forum/lithiummod/65208-rom-lithium-mod-source-built-awesomeness-themes-galore.html

    Find in the middle of his listing where it says “Phone Slider Fix(stock themed sliders and phone i think)-credit to chewy74 for the find”

    Click the link below it and rename it update. After that just go into recovery mode and select your update.

    Your sliders will then be fixed for this theme. 😛

  • I like this rom EXCEPT…………….that when you get a call from someone and you slide to anwser the call. The sliders are messed up. It's that way with all the themes. Even the stock one. Update please? Thanks

    • Only if you choose to “wipe data/cache” in ROM Manager or “wipe data” from recovery. (wiping cache only won't affect them or your settings) If you've been running a Froyo ROM though before, even if you do a full wipe, most of them will download/reinstall automatically from the market within the first 15-30 minutes after you boot. You'll still have to reinstall apps you downloaded from other sources though. Titanium makes that pretty easy since you can just “restore missing apps” after the Market is done with what it can restore.

  • Beautiful and all but why can't BB ever have sexy themes? Oh well. Hey a bit off-topic but does anyone know where I can find the re-colored swype keyboards? The red one that was hosted on this site is classy but expired 🙁

  • Did you do “step 1” and “flash clockwork mod recovery” at the top of ROM Manager? Sounds like you don't have a valid recovery installed. Or……….next silly question……..you ARE rooted and on an original Droid right?

      • im new to installing roms i have rom manager and every time i try to install i get a ! on reboot and phone wont let me do anything i have been able to hit power botton and reboot phone what am i doing wrong

        • Did you do “step 1” and “flash clockwork mod recovery” at the top of ROM Manager? Sounds like you don't have a valid recovery installed. Or……….next silly question……..you ARE rooted and on an original Droid right?

          • yes to “flash clockwork mod recovery” and yes im rooted. just rooted a day ago and haven't put any roms on yet. everytime i try through rom manager it auto reboots and i get the ! stuck on screen…..?

          • Huh, no idea. You might try asking over at droidforums.net in the Lithium Mod section or the Hacking section. I've never had any problems loading ROMs or themes with RM so I'm not really sure what else to suggest.

          • Try flashing to SPRecovery and then back to Clockwork. This happened to me a couple of weeks ago. FYI, you can do both from within ROM Manger…SPRecovery is at the bottom under “Flash Alternate Recovery”

    • While your phone is off, press and hold “X” on the keyboard then press the power button. Hold down the “X” until the screen starts to come up.

  • I stood in line for the first droid and i was there in dothan alabama for the droid 2 yesterday and played with it and BOY am I glad i didnt get it. My phones been not as responsive lately but this Lithium rom changed the colors and my back-ground is the finished wood look and let me say (THIS IS CLEAN !) And better than that its working fast and very responsive. IM ALL INTO MOTOROLA AND DROID ! Is it REALLY CHEATING if i go with the samsung facinate at verizon next month ? Its got AWESOME color !

  • Please help, when the phone reboots I get a triangle with a ! in the middle. Is that normal……

    • happens a lot… make sure you choose wipe data/cache

      just reboot into recovery and get to your last backup

    • Yeah, Its happend to me also, Reboot your phone into recovery mode and hopefully you ll have a backup to go back to!

      [JD]

    • This happened to me when I first rooted. You do not need to go to backup. In ROM manager there is an option to Flash Alternate Recovery. Do this it will take like a second, then go and reflash the ClockworkMod Recovery. You will then be able to load the Rom.

      • Your tip worked but after Gala went into install mode my phone keeps going from the Droid eye to DROID then back to the eye again…is this norm? Now what? Waaaah I just want my new rom already!

  • Finally a good rom to look at this friday although I have already moved way past this theme but it is one of my favorites. Im on to lithium mod collide its pretty sweet too. And dear god please do not start a give credit fight over here we had enough of that over on DF

  • Unrelated post I know..but i had to let everyone know if they didnt know..Launcherpro Plus released a update..downloading now.

  • Nice! Ok I see ya posted the background, where's the LP dock and icons? That looks hawt!! 🙂

  • I have been using this theme with Lithium Mod since it was released and this is my favorie theme that I have used thus far.

  • All I need is this and a 2500 Quadrant score and my Droid OG can pretend to be a Galaxy S.
