[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Juiced718:
Im wondering what cache "cache cleaner" gets. Ive used both and i kniw in cachemate you have varoous options. Most of which didnt really effect me. So i use cachecleaner. Seems it gets more based on what kb it said its cleaned

Science friday is looking for someone to port their ios app to android. Its public radio, so I don't think much pay will be involved. But, I donate to the local station and maybe you can do the same with this.

New thread for this ROM and version...
[Droid 2 Android Development] walcs:
Are most of the blurs gone like the epic ROM? or perhaps even more blurs has beeen removed?
[Droid 2 Android Development] Jewremy:
Blur really isn't bad at all in this version. I've seen no excess battery drain whatsoever.
[Droid 2 Android Development] Stephan_:
hey MotoBoy can you attach your modified build.prop where you changed all r2d2>droid2? :D
[Droid 2 Android Development] Angdroid:
In the clean version all blur is gone besides phone and contacts.

I left it in there for now and will have different version up in a bit with less blur.

It is in the full version ROM now and I will upload it seperately in a bit.
[Droid 2 Android Development] walcs:
all the blur services are gone too?
[Droid 2 Android Development] Angdroid:
In the super clean version, yes!
[Droid 2 Android Development] walcs:
So it's like aosp vanilla? If yes then.....you are AWESOME
[Droid 2 Android Development] Angdroid:
Let me rephrase that...not all of them are gone but just a few left over.

It is as close to aosp vanilla that you can get so far with this ROM.
[Droid 2 Android Development] walcs:
Thanks for the fast reply! I think im going to go with this since Epic 3.0 isnt out yet. im going to flash this as soon as possible :D

Market

Thanks for posting the files and instructions. This is awesome.

I noticed (accidentally) that some items are missing from the Market after performing this modification. I do not use any of the missing items, but I thought I'd let you know.

I was searching for a weather app, and MyCast does not come up. Pure Calendar is also missing. I only noticed because I usually see them there when searching, so I am not sure of any others. I also tried searching for the 2 apps by name, and they were missing.

I apologize in advance if this is a situation that is only applicable to myself and/or if this is the wrong place to post potential bugs.
[Droid 2 Android Development] jimmydafish:
you will need to edit the build.prop as the r2-d2 is not yet released.

[Droid 2 Android Development] walcs:
edit: flash unsuccessful, after I wiped Cache and Data, then flashed the zip file, my root was gone, no superuser permission, all the bloat is back
[Droid 2 Android Development] Stephan_:
MotoBoy How about a super clean stock r2d2 ;D
[Droid 2 Android Development] Angdroid:
Like the same non R2D2 ROM?
[Droid 2 Android Development] zibrah3ed:
* update - clean rom, will try pushing the apk from full rom in the am.

Can't get swype to work. Doesn't even show up as an option. Did I do something wrong? If not is there a way to get it back up and running?

* fixed - thank you motaboy for the quick response. Simply pulled apk from full rom, then installed through app manager on astro. So far it is working, no need for a root file manager at least for me.

Feel kind of stupid since this turned out to be so easy to fix :).
[Droid 2 Android Development] Stephan_:
No keeping all the r2d2 stuff and just removing most of the blur except the phone contacts and camera.
[Droid 2 Android Development] Angdroid:
Are you using the Full or Clean ROM?

If clean it is not in there. Open the Full ROM Zip file, go into the system/app folder, copy skype to your SD card on phone, use root explorer or a browser that can browse the system folder to copy the skype.apk to system/app on phone. Give it the proper permissions, and you should be set if you are running the clean rom. If not then it should be under keyboards in settings. You may need to enalbe it from there.
[Droid 2 Android Development] Angdroid:
I tried to edit the two lines in buld.prop for market fix but some apps were still not showing up. Not sure if it needs more edits or what is up. I deleted cache and data from market before I checked with new build.prop. I am sure I did it wrong :)

EDIT:

I think I used the keys for 2.3.15 and I recall the same issue. Let me try with the shipping keys...

# Do not try to parse ro.build.description or .fingerprint

ro.build.description=cdma_droid2-user 2.2 VZW 2.2.90 ota-rel-keys,release-keys

ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/droid2_vzw/cdma_droid2/droid2:2.2/VZW/22.90:user/ota-rel-keys,release-keys

I tired with those keys but did not work, what else needs to be changed?

Battery draing fast

Has anyone experienced battery draining faster with the R2D2 rom? Mine is dying almost 2x faster then when i had my original ROM installed. Any ideas why this could be?
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
R2-D2 is a hungry little sucker...atually I did not notice any battery drain at all. Maybe something you installed?
[Droid 2 Android Development] Stephan_:
Can you do a super clean version with all the r2d2 stuff still intact? :D

+1 on the stock android theme!
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
You can get the R2-D2 ROM from My Droid World and just carry the star wars packages over to your ROM. Most of the pacakge names have star wars in them so it is easy to tell what they are.
[Droid 2 Android Development] Stephan_:
Lol.. no big deal I can do it myself =p
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
This way you can customize as to what you want. The only things missing are the star wars live wallpapers, photwidget, r2d2 clock widget and a couple of apps. The converstation and blur-res.apk are a bit different too. They have the cheesy CP30 in them for the contact pics...

I grew up with Star Wars and am/was a huge fan and I must say that most of the stuff they put in there was crap. The clock widget looks like some intern made it.
[Droid 2 Android Development] CIPuyleart:
Wondering if you can elaborate on which apk files in the full version would give me back the corporate exhchange (email, contacts, calendar) functionality for the superclean version. I like the minimal blug, but really need to have that function still...

Thanks.
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
Bluremail, bluremailengine, BlurCalendar, BlurCalendarProvider and there might be one more, I will look into it. Also delete the googlecalendar.

I am not sure if this will work but it may, the corporate stuff from vanilla droid may woork too. EmailGoogle.apk and CorpCal.apk. I attached them to this post. Let me know if they work... Do not delete current calendar app if you are going with the vanilla files.

I know the corporate stuff is important to some people. I am looking for a free service that offers exchange so I can test it out.
[Droid 2 Android Development] Stephan_:
What's different in the photo widget? I didn't see any difference =/
[Droid 2 Android Development] CIPuyleart:
I'll give it a try, since I was just about ready to start getting everything set back up after installing the FULL version. Might as well just redo it now before I get too far into it!
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
I thought I saw vader as the the default picture and figured there were more pics?

If you go back to clean rom and get the exchange working let me know so I can make an update.zip file so people who need it can install it easily.

*Edit*

using the vanilla android email and corpcal packages allowed me to connect to gmail using the google exchange settings. Mail and contacts are both showing and calendar events too.
[Droid 2 Android Development] CIPuyleart:
I've got CalendarGoogle.apk and GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk...which one are you referring to?
[Droid 2 Android Development] facelessuser:
I don't like to wipe too often, but this looks worth it. I am going to try this tonight.
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
CalendarGoogle.apk if you are going with the blur exchange stuff. Not sure if you saw my last post but the vanilla android exchange files worked for me.

Some have said it installed fine without doing a wipe. I only put in the instructions to minimize anything that can go wrong. If you are going to wipe anyways then might try it first without doing a wipe :)
[Droid 2 Android Development] facelessuser:
So, after further reading of the OP, is there an issue with market paid apps? This could make me hold off a little longer.
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
I am working on a fix now but since the R2-D2 droid was released today apps should start showing up again. The developers may need to change settings on their side too so the apps show up for new device. If you dont care what version number it says in about phone then you can use the build.prop file from 2.20 (original ROM) and apps should show up.
[Droid 2 Android Development] walcs:
Just flashed it again this morning, very awesome and very fast, thank you MotoBoy, and i have 2 quick questions

Is this update deodexed? and

Can I install themes on this ROM?

thanks
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
Thanks!

Yes it is deodexed and you can only install themes that are made for 2.4.0. What theme are you looking to install? If it is not a major project maybe I can conver it. Also if you look the in the android dev section there is an app that helps you convert themes.
[Droid 2 Android Development] facelessuser:
What does the market look for? Is it the phone Model in the build prop?

Edit: Probably not the model since they are the same on both phones. Maybe apps are limited by their support for Android Revision?

Edit: Looks like it is the fingerprint. I will try the rom and see if I have market issues first.
[Droid 2 Android Development] Stephan_:
Looks like the photowidget only shows the vader photo in the blur home =( got a widget error trying to place the widget on my LP+ homescreen.
[Droid 2 Android Development] walcs:
I was actually looking at the Revolution Remix Theme under the Droid 2 Theme section of the forum, and can you please provide the link to the app that will covert the theme please? i didnt find it :(
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
Here is two I found

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-themes/75749-program-universal-theme-porter-beta.html

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=737526

Never used them so not sure how they work.
[Droid 2 Android Development] CIPuyleart:
Yeah - saw that...I'm pretty busy at work today - so back and forth with trying something on the phone, then back to work stuff, etc. So the vanilla stuff will work with corporate MS Exchange then? That's my biggest priority - to have my primary work email, contacts, and calendar syncing correctly because with them, the phone is worthless.

Curious - any reason you left out the backup assistant? Seems that was what always brought my apps back to me after a wipe...but then I'm VERY new at this.

So far, starting with a factory reset, I've got the full version installed, then put the SUPER CLEAN over that. I added the four blur files you listed into the sdcard/app folder before the superclean install (and deleted the google calendar one) and will try that next...then go from there.

EDIT: Progress to date...

Full 2.4 install from above

SUPER Clean 2.4 install per above,

Added (to /sdcard/app prior to the superclean install):

+BlurEmail

+BlurEmailEngine

+BlurCalendar

+BlurCalendarProvider

+BackupAssistanceClient

+WorkContacts (not sure if this is needed or not)

Removed (again, prior to superclean install):

-GoogleCalendar

So far, I've got my gmail (actually a google apps account) and corporate email account on the phone. email is syncing fine. Corporate contacts and calendar are no there at all, although under the settings for the corporate account both are checked.

Also, the backup client (which previously would put my market-downloaded apps back on the phone) is still not working, nor working via settings. As a result, GMail is the only market app that shows up when I go to market (at least, I THINK that's the cause).

Going to tinker some more - comparing the FULL to SUPERCLEAN versions for any other files that might do it...

Other interesting note - I've had to REroot every time I've completed an overwrite...
[Droid 2 Android Development] marty1966:
Hey folks, I followed the OP's instructions to the T, but after final reboot, I am stuck at the Moto logo. Battery pull turns phone off and restarting no longer gives me bootloader.

Is there a way to force bootloader? I'm pretty much panicking here, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, james.
[Droid 2 Android Development] walcs:
Not even pusing thw up arrow while rebooting? That worked for me because I has to reflahsed the phone. I was being retarded and tried to install the super clean verison without putting the phone into pc mode. But imall goood now
[Droid 2 Android Development] gpgorbosjr:
Hey. So I installed the full version (I'd rather not mess with too much stuff, so far I've found stock much better than the custom roms out there) and when I receive a text the conversation stays at the bottom of the list until I send a text. Way to solve?
[Droid 2 Android Development] marty1966:
OK, so, after freaking out I used this TUT, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=770224

And was able to flash .sbf using bootloader, (vol down and cam buttons)

Thing is, I already called Verizon and asked for a replacement, it comes in the morning :)
[Droid 2 Android Development] facelessuser:
Looks good. Titanium backup saved me a lot of trouble after wipe. Everything seems to be running smooth. Gallery was giving me some trouble with force closes, but I wiped its cache again and it is good.

Good work, Motoboy, on modding this.
[Droid 2 Android Development] walcs:
Its always nice to have a fresh phone after you used it for a month :-) now you can mess with that one
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
Why not just use the vanilla android files for exchange? It seemed to be working fine for me.
[Droid 2 Android Development] phamurai:
mostly new to this, but I was able to root my droid 2 without any problems.

double checked that it is definitely rooted, and mounted the system in boostrap recovery.

from here i'm not sure what to do. it seems logical to reboot and then connect to my pc through pc mode. but when i try to "rm /system/app/*.*", the shell gives me the error "rm failed for /system/app/accountandsyncsettings.apk".

sorry if this is a stupid question, but again, i'm new. help would be much appreciated.
[Droid 2 Android Development] walcs:
Did you type adb shell? :-)
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
And connected in PC Mode?

I am working on an update.zip for the clean install. Just a pain in the ass since you have to edit the install script to delete everything :)
[Droid 2 Android Development] eleventy:
Lots of problems after flashing the super-clean version.

Signal strength alternates from full to no-service every 2 to 4 seconds. A look in settings shows that Airplane Mode is cycling off and on at that interval.

Phone has rebooted itself unexpectedly twice in just ten minutes.

Text messaging app force closes immediately after launch.

Notification pull-down won't stay down; it goes back up after a few seconds.

Gonna try it again.

Also, FYI, ClockworkMod 2.5.0.8 did not install the Exchange zip linked from the first post.

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

E:Error in /sdcard/ROMs/Exchange_Super_Clean_2.4.zip

(Status 6)

Installation aborted.
[Droid 2 Android Development] phamurai:
i am definitely in adb shell; the # comes up and the error message wouldn't appear if i weren't.

also connected in PC mode, drivers are working fine.
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
Did you install the clean ROM as the directions state or did your replace the app and framework folder in full ROM and then install like a normal ROM? You have to install like the instructions are you get the problems you described.

I will check the script in exchange
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
did you mount the system?
[Droid 2 Android Development] phamurai:
I believe so, this was my first time using the Droid 2 Bootstrap. Process went like this:

1) Open up Droid2Bootstrap App

2) Hit "Reboot recovery"

3) it reboots into recovery, i navigate to "mounts and storage"

4) highlight "mount /system", hit "ok", display reads "unmount /system"

5) navigate back to main menu, hit "reboot system now"

6) Mount to PC in PC mode, adb shell, rm /system/apps/*.* .... and get the "read only" error
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
I have update.zip for super clean ROM ready to be tested. You still need to install the full ROM first and then apply the super clean update.zip.

Let me know if anyone wants to test it.
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
You need to use the mount commands in ADB shell. DO you have a fresh install of the Full ROM on there now? Want to test out the zip install for clean ROM?

Do not reboot at your step 5. Continue with the instructions. You do the ADB commands when you are in Bootstrap.
[Droid 2 Android Development] eleventy:
I followed the directions. The only thing I was unsure about is whether I need to boot the phone between installing the full version and applying the super-clean files. Here's what I did, all from recovery:

0. Reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.0.8

1. Mount /system

2. rm /system/app/* /system/framework/*

3. Wipe cache, then data

4. Mount /system /data /sdcard

5. Install MotaBoy_Update_1_VZW_2.4.zip

6. Mount /system

7. rm /system/app/* /system/framework/*

8. cp /sdcard/app/* /system/app/

9. cp /sdcard/framework/* /system/framework/

10. Attempt to install Exchange zip

11. Boot phone
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
Yes boot phone once before applying the Clean Update. I added a zip file install method to the first post for the clean ROM. You still need to boot the phone once before applying the clean ROM. I am looking into what package is missing from Clean ROM that does that with the phone signal.

Reboot after step 5 and follow the directions on first page...
[Droid 2 Android Development] walcs:
Lol I want to post a reply on how I f*ed up so many times while applying this but I think its pointsless ans this is pointless too :-)
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
Well the zip file should help with some of the problems now for the clean ROM :)
[Droid 2 Android Development] CIPuyleart:
Everything I tried today worked fine on receiving corp email, but nothing would sync my corp calendar or contacts or allow me to send corp email...including trying the vanilla files. I am currently back on my backup from before I started farting with it, but am going to try again tomorrow when I hopefully have some time to concentrate on it more...
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
Your best bet might to be to stick with full rom and clean out the stuff you do not want. Are you reapply the steps for the clean rom, you do not need to install full rom first. Just delete the app and framework folder and copy over the clean rom app and framework folder and then try the vanilla files. I got it working using the two vanilla files and using the google exchange servers with gmail. Everything synced fine that way. You may need a few more service packages that are removed in clean rom if you want to use the blur email.
[Droid 2 Android Development] CIPuyleart:
That's what I was gonna try tomorrow...get full rom up and running correct for my corp stuff, then start renaming apks one at a time and see where I get.

Thanks for the replies. I am looking forward to getting this working
[Droid 2 Android Development] phamurai:
It seems my PC does not detect my Droid 2 while it is in boostrap; it only detects it while PC mode is enabled when the OS is booted. Suggestions?
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
After you install the full ROM, let the phone boot up. Activate it if you need too and then let it do its setup. From there you do not need to go into bootstrap to load the clean ROM can do it all from command prompt when you are in windows.

Better yet...just use the clean rom zip file install method...it is on the first page :)
[Droid 2 Android Development] phamurai:
"Only Apply this update after your phone has booted one time with the full ROM."

Can I still use the zip file method if I haven't installed the full rom? As I said, I've been having trouble with the process since I can't access the adb shell in bootstrap mode.

Also, I just wanted to reiterate my gratitude for the help, Motoboy.
[Droid 2 Android Development] eleventy:
Thanks. Booting into the Full version once did the trick.

Now, using the Super Clean zip method, I see the following in my apps drawer:

Backup Assistant

Two Calendar icons

Car Home and Car Dock

City ID

Emergency

Media Share

NFS Shift

Social Networking

Are those supposed to still be there?

EDIT: I tried the manual method for Super Clean, and all but NFS were gone.
[Droid 2 Android Development] Dz0n3:
I looked at my battery manager and saw that I was using the r2d2 clock and it was using bout 20 percent of my battery. I did remove it and my batter lasted alot longer.
[Droid 2 Android Development] eleventy:
Next issue.

The Vanilla zip did not remove the Blur icons from LauncherPro. I tried it twice.

Any ideas?
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
what icons? use the manual method...might have missed a few packages in the script. did you mount system?

I just updated the zip file...try again with the new zip.
[Droid 2 Android Development] Stephan_:
Reset your shortcuts new icons should appear

EDIT: the launcherpro is themed that way
[Droid 2 Android Development] eleventy:
The LauncherPro icons for Phone, Contacts, and App Drawer.

I've since decided it's not a big deal. I like the Blur drawer icon. For dialer and contacts, I'll use the app icons.

MotaBoy, how can I send you some money?
[Droid 2 Android Development] ItsDave:
Im getting that the 'adb' is not a recognized command bs and I cannot remember what I am doing wrong
[Droid 2 Android Development] eleventy:
adb shell must be executed from you computer's command prompt. It requires the Android SDK to be installed, and the adb executable needs to be in your PATH.
[Droid 2 Android Development] phamurai:
adb won't detect my phone when it is in bootstrap, this is preventing me from running "rm /system/app/*.*" and rm /system/framework/*.* in the adb shell.

when i try to do this outside of bootstrap in PC mode, i am denied access because it is read-only, apparently.

How critical is this step anyway? Will it be super dangerous for my phone if I just install the ROM from bootstrap immediately?
[Droid 2 Android Development] ItsDave:
Exactly! Thanks!
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
Are you mounting system when in bootstrap? If you do not delete the files then you will have duplicates and maybe some other problems. If you are trying to delete before installing full ROM then it might not be that big of a deal since the install script should delete everything too but may miss a few files. Just go in and delete manually after install if you have dups...
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
No thanks...if you want to send me something than make a donation to greenpeace or something :)
[Droid 2 Android Development] ItsDave:
I am having the same issue where my device is not recognized when im in bootstrap. Any suggestions? And yes system is mounted...should data and cache be mounted as well?
