haptic feedback

facebook market app sync with contacts fixed. Works as it did in D1.

NEW DIALER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

​

Yes it needs work but it works!!!!!!!!!​

Maybe beta build tomorrow or in a couple of days. Need phone as phone and need to test a bit more. The beta build is in some testers hands and we are getting good feedback.

Also, doing all this I think I MAY have figured out a way to get a different kernel going. This phone is my only phone including landline and I can not be SBFing all day like what I did from Friday to Monday to get this sucker running. I can not give a time frame on how long it would take but it might be POSSIBLE

This is a ALPHA ROM so please do not ask when things will be fixed or how to fix them. Just know that they will be fixed shortly!.

DO NOT USE ANY THEMES WITH THIS ROM!!!​

We will not get into that you need to backup your stuff and please do not spam thread asking how to back up, root, or anything like that. If you are isntalling this ROM you should know how to do all that.

History of how this came to be...

I was messing with the Droid2 SDK when I decided to see if it would boot. It did needless to say. Matt4542 and I began to put the peices together and this is where we are at.

The SDK is based on FRF91 which is what all VZ D2 ROMs are based on. I compared every file from FRF91 to VZW_2.4.5 and almost all of the common files were identical. The files that were present in 2.4.5 and not in FRF91 were driver files and other misc. files. The files that were in FRF91 and not in 2.4.5 were emulator files. We combined the two and added the proper packages to bring us where we are now.

We were able to remove all blur items and got the vanilla Android dialer and contacts to work, first for the D2. You will see some D2 files in ROM and it may look like 2.4.5 but that is becuase I forgot to edit the build.prop and to get market working in next release. This is a super clean ROM like what you would find in an AOSP build.

Funny thing is I nearly returned my D2 a couple of hours before this all started for a DX. My Verizon store finally got them in and I was so tempted. Good thing I did not have the box with me or I would be a new DX owner.

Known bugs:

Market will not download programs. - No fix yet. If you are the type of user who is going to use this ROM then you will know how to install your apps. Please do not spam thread asking how to install apps.

Keyboard and menu backlight not working - No fix yet.

After Master Clear from within OS when you are prompted to Activate you will not see dialpad. Just slide out keyboard, press 1 and activate.

I am sure there are a few more bugs but that is most noticable right now.
