[Droid 2 Android Development] :
Angdroid, I just installed the ROM an hour or so ago. I don't have the phone activated, but all Wifi-able apps/functions seems to be working properly. Thanks for stripping the ROM from unneeded apps...I rather search the Market for the ones I need than use adb to remove a bunch of unwanted ones. Great job on this ROM!!!

I didn't found the answer in the General section/forum, so I figure I ask you. I just recently got the phone and noticed that both the stock file manager and Astro File Manager can't read internal memory. I noticed the same behavior with both stock 2.2 Motoblur and with your ROM. Am I missing something or Motorola made this on purpose? Even when I connect the phone to my Mac I can only mount the SD card. I'll appreciate your feedback.
[Droid 2 Android Development] eleventy:
You need a file explorer that supports root access. Neither of the ones you mentioned do.

EDIT: OK, maybe not. Wait for someone else who knows what he is talking about. Sorry.

I use Root Explorer and it works for me.
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
Just to access internal memory? I guess this must be specific to the Droid 2, because on my Droid Incredible I can read internal memory just fine with Astro File Manager.

Does that means that if I want to have my pictures and ringtones in internal memory I have to copy them to the SD card and then use Root Explorer or similar to copy to internal memory??? :confused:
[Droid 2 Android Development] eleventy:
Upgrading to this ROM right now...

...from 1.1. :o

Yeah, yeah, I am lazy, and it was working great for me, except for that pesky reboot on unlock problem. Hope this new version fixes that. So far, only AngDroid's older ROM (2.40) did not have that issue ... even stock ROM had it.
[Droid 2 Android Development] droid2andyou:
This is the first fission release I've seen that shuts off 3g when I haven't touched the phone for awhile, I missed that from stock rom, glad its back
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
RC2 Patch and Full ROM coming soon.

Includes:

All previous fixes

New framework for DX!

Check back in an hour or so.
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
RC2 Now up!

Please check first post for more info.
[Droid 2 Android Development] wjones:
Installed and no issues yet! Lovin' it. Any idea on when Gingerbread will be released and we can start cooking that?
[Droid 2 Android Development] marsha12151:
Question on Build

The screen shots on the first page show a build of Fission. Mine shows VZW. I downloaded the RC1 and then did the patch for RC2 a while later but both showed the VZW.

Anyway I can tell what I got?

Thanks for your work.
[Droid 2 Android Development] roboots21:
Ang is using the default build.prop unmodified. That is why it shows up as the VZW build. Not sure of the easiest way to tell what version you are other than knowing what you installed and having confidence that you are on the latest build. :)
[Droid 2 Android Development] wjones:
The screen captures of from an older build. The latest RC1 & 2 is built of the stock 2.3.20 which is why it says VZW.
[Droid 2 Android Development] jvance325:
Read 3 or 4 pages back.
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
All the info is in the first post. I swear I am going to hide the download link to force people to read every word so they stop posting stuff that is right there in the first post.
[Droid 2 Android Development] ahampton82:
This has happened even on the stock blur rom. I've noticed it ever since the update to 2.3.20. It doesn't have anything to do with this ROM.
[Droid 2 Android Development] marsha12151:
I apologize for upsetting you. I read the first post and all the others. I read all the posts about Fission - any and all in three forums. What I did not understand was the relationship between the pieces I read and what would show up on my screen. I am very happy with the first reply that explained the relationship. I am very happy using this ROM.

Now with that said, why do you publish screenshots that are not of what is really going on?

Again, thanks for all you do to create these ROMS and thanks to the other forum readers who help people like me - trying to learn and not look like beginners.
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
Because I am not going to waste time creating new screen caps, editing them, uploading them and redoing the links for the images when I can use that time to do something more productive and it will go back to as it was with final if what we are testing proves false. The default build.pro was used, which controls what version you see on screen to do some bug tracking since we are in the RC stage.

Is it that big of a deal what screen shot shows and what your phone shows?
[Droid 2 Android Development] mrjaydee82:
This is by far the besy d2 rom created. It just keeps getting better. Im impatiently waiting for the official release. Lol impatiently, sorry i meant im patiently waiting. Kudos to u angdroid and the team. I would use no other rom besides u all
[Droid 2 Android Development] jvance325:
The human brain would rather look at pretty pictures than read ugly words. Lol.

Thanks Angdroid and Team Defuse for your hard work on the best ROM out there.
[Droid 2 Android Development] ahampton82:
It's weird that a plain ROM could be the best ROM out there. I agree this is the best. I don't care what version as long as it is stable, fast, and blur-less!
[Droid 2 Android Development] oldcyberdude:
Simply Awesome

Big thanks to Ang and the team. After lurking on the forum for awhile, I finally jumped and install RC2 on a plain 2.3.20

Perfect install and everything seems to work fine.
[Droid 2 Android Development] bladearronwey:
I know, but if you use this for a while, then go back to stock blur, the difference is incredible. I thought my phone was nice until I ran Fission, and I didn't truly appreciate it until I SBF'd back to stock to start fresh with Fission 2.0 and realized how awful the phone was out of the box.

Thanks again for making the D2 a great phone Ang
[Droid 2 Android Development] john_i_:
Hi, guys! At the risk of sounding like a total newb, I want to clarify something in the instructions.

The statement "You MUST hard reset after installing new ROM!". Does this mean to power on with "X" held down, and select "wipe data/factory reset"? Or does it just mean shutdown and reboot?

I am currently on 2.0.1 after SBF 2.3.20 AND SDCard format, so I know I was super clean then, but I just want to make sure I do everything correctly for the 2.1 (without SBF).

Thanks for all the hard work on the ROM.
[Droid 2 Android Development] jvance325:
Anyone notice battery life issues?

Also, just got a reboot. Clean install with SBR and formatted my SD card.
[Droid 2 Android Development] derte:
agreed

When I sbf'ed to 2.3.20 the phone sucked until I got fission back on, truly appreciate the speed after that
[Droid 2 Android Development] droid2andyou:
i got a reboot also, it only seems to do it when i'm at 9+ hours of uptime and it usually happens when i have a text, missed call or something in the notification area. I've also had the phone hang before trying to send a text message, it will fail a couple times and reboot on me, haven't seen that on 2.1 RC1 tho
[Droid 2 Android Development] Redflea:
A hard reset refers to going to Settings>Privacy>Factory Reset while booted up in Android...you do that the first time you boot up after the install completes.

Skip any google sign-in when the phone starts up on the first boot after installing the ROM, go directly to Settings>Privacy>Factory Reset. After that is complete your phone will reboot and then you can activate it and sign into your Google account, and start setting up your phone again.
[Droid 2 Android Development] bladearronwey:
I haven't noticed any battery life issues, but then I've got my phone underclocked and undervolted and I can easily pull 20+ (from the time I start using my phone at about 7am until I'm home and relaxing at about 7pm I've still got 50% to 60% battery life remaining) hours on a single charge with moderate to heavy usage, and it will idle for days now if I leave it alone
[Droid 2 Android Development] john_i_:
Thanks for clearing that up for me :)
[Droid 2 Android Development] prolefeedprocessor:
YouTube upload was unavailable in the previous version of the ROM.
[Droid 2 Android Development] ILikeWaffles:
Alright...I've tried all these roms in the last month as well as other peoples roms.

Love this rom and I just have one request...

What combination of apk's will get me the stock text messaging with the bubbles and the universal messaging app (not universal inbox...I know that one is UniversalInbox.apk)?

Pretty sure I need Conversations.apk (text) with Messaging.apk (email), but it won't work without some other apk's. My life will be complete after this. :)

Thanks.
[Droid 2 Android Development] droid void:
I've had this Rom since pretty early this morning and I've ran into no problems besides the fact that I still and just got a random reboot. On the lock screen, gonna do a new install tonight so I know that I did it right.
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
10% battery increments are now being tested on IRC...stop by if you want a early look at the next framework stages...
[Droid 2 Android Development] beatified:
SMS to multiple recipients broken???

I have 2.0.1 Installed and love it except for the issue I seem to be haveing sending sms's to multiple contacts. They just sit there saying sending and never send. when I send to one recipent it works fine.

Can someone please verify my problem?

Thanks for the awesome work. I'm going to try 2.1 soon.

Thanks,

Stuart
[Droid 2 Android Development] mikeyinid:
Sweet!

I just got my D2 a couple days ago. I came over from the vibrant, and the evo before that. When i fired up my new D2, i was a little disappointed(felt like i was using a cliq again :(...)But i just flashed your ROM, and its like night and day! So far everything works, not a single fc other than mytask killer but that fc'd even when i was stock, on bootup...Just wanted to say your work is great and i look forward to your future projects!!
[Droid 2 Android Development] prolefeedprocessor:
I'm having trouble with the RC.2 installation. It keeps giving that "E: can't open sdcard/[ROM name].zip (bad)" error. I tried re-downloading it just in case it was a bad download, but this happened again with both the patch and when I tried just doing the full ROM (I even SBF'd, but I could only go back to RC.1 again from there).
[Droid 2 Android Development] wjones:
It seems that I've lost the ability to connect my device to my laptop via USB. Same cable that I use to plug into the wall to charge... tried 2 different laptops... anyone else having this issue?
[Droid 2 Android Development] JDunc:
Two different computers probably means the USB cable. Have you tried another one?
[Droid 2 Android Development] wjones:
Tried both my usb and my wifes usb (both are only a week old). My Fission ROM Droid 2 doesn't respond when plugged into the laptops but her stock ROM does...
[Droid 2 Android Development] jones7773:
well, it must be a "jones" thing ...LOL (ck name of posters) ... anyway, i also tried different computers And, different cables (work & home) and, neither worked.

i have to either load rom on phone directly from xda, or, at work, i just put my sd card in a reader & loaded straight from pc ...but, either way, no matter which mode i put my phone in, it wouldn't transfer files from pc.
[Droid 2 Android Development] wjones:
I presume you are on a PC? I am using OS X, so it appears there may be a bug that Team Defuse has overlooked. It's obviously not the end of the world as we can do most things OTA but a bug that needs to be addressed. I don't have an SD card reader and need to connect via USB to backup my SD Card.

@AngDroid, you need anything from us that can help troubleshoot/resolve?
[Droid 2 Android Development] mikeyinid:
I was trying to change my wallpaper and my phone rebooted. That's the only issue I've had. Is this a known issue and if so what's the fix? Is it something with live wallpapers? I wasn't really using a live wallpaper, but an app that shows your albums in a slideshow on your homescreen. The app ran perfect but when I changed back to a normal wallpaper it rebooted.
[Droid 2 Android Development] john_i_:
Are you trying to access the sdcard via usb mass storage mode? I've seen a quirk on linux with the 2.0.2 ROM where it is detected as a mass storage device, but it doesn't create the device nodes for the partition on the sdcard. (i.e., the OS detects and adds a /dev/sdc node for the whole card, but not create a /dev/sdc1 for the fat partition). As a workaround, i have found if I run "fdisk /dev/sdc", and type "p" to print the partition table, and then just exit, linux will re-read the partition table, and create the device. I wonder if you are running into something similar on your OS's.

I'm going to do a clean install of 2.1rc2 tonight and see if the problem goes away.
[Droid 2 Android Development] TheSteve:
Wow thanks for this ROM, it works great and finally made me happy with my D2. Only issue I've found is that Gmail no longer wants to sync any emails without manually refreshing it. I've tried waiting for over 24hrs and it still won't retrieve messages on its own. Any ideas why this might happen?

Thanks

Edit:

Cancel that, I might've just got it. In the accounts setting screen, Gmail was set to NOT sync even though the other Google services were enabled. Why it defaulted to off I have no idea as I've never had to set that manually before.
[Droid 2 Android Development] jcatt:
I just tested this on a fresh 2.1 RC2 install on my MBP running OS X 10.6 and can confirm that the SD Card is recognized in USB Mass Storage Mode. What mode are you trying to use? Can you be more specific to your issue.
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
Are you running a task killer? If so do not use it and if you are going to use a task killer make sure "usb" is in the exception list.
[Droid 2 Android Development] l1f35ux:
I'm pretty sure you forgot to mount system/data.
[Droid 2 Android Development] prolefeedprocessor:
I'm pretty sure I didn't forget that. I followed the instructions to the T. Anyway, I re-downloaded the patch a few hours later and voila it suddenly works. But I wouldn't have posted that if I didn't follow the instructions first and try again.
[Droid 2 Android Development] prolefeedprocessor:
As for bugs, I encountered my first. After applying the RC.2 patch overtop of RC.1, my SD card would not successfully mount on my phone until I reformatted the card. (I tried restarting the phone again before resorting to reformatting, just to be sure. No dice.)
[Droid 2 Android Development] Redflea:
I saw that on earlier versions of Fission, intermittently...

Try rebooting your phone for now.

If your USB problems persist, you might want to try a Factory Reset...
[Droid 2 Android Development] mjones1052:
[ROM]Fission Vanilla 2.1.RC.2 - 11-10-2010 New Improvements - True AOSP Experience

Complete with Motorola lockscreen sliders!
[Droid 2 Android Development] wjones:
I'm not running any USB mode. The device doesn't even acknowledge the power and reflect that it's charging... I'm going to do a factory reset and wipe cache/data today anyway.
[Droid 2 Android Development] Spitemare:
Try rebooting your phone a couple times. I've had the same problem a few times since 2.0.1 and rebooting (sometimes a couple times) seems to fix it. It's a sucky solution but better than nothing.

Anybody else getting weird behavior with market searches? If I search the market with Google search (I hit the search button on my phone) for let's say angry I get a successful search. If I follow that with another search with the market app the search never executes. It's like a search coming from anywhere but the market app itself prevents any further searching from the results screen.
[Droid 2 Android Development] jvance325:
Are you trying to be funny?
[Droid 2 Android Development] firestrife23:
Same here, +1 mine is showing stock moto lock
[Droid 2 Android Development] bladearronwey:
That's because 1.) It's a release candidate and 2.) There's an issue with the AOSP sliders with the current build.prop and framework, so the stock sliders were left in for the time being until the issue is resolved. Doesn't anyone read?
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
You guys really need to take the time to read and stop thinking you are so witty. Maybe take some reading comprehension classes instead of trying to be a wise guy...

Here it is, right from the first post...

"Framework Rebuilt.

Mixture of generic Android and D2 Framework. This was done to give the look and feel of generic Android without giving up stability.

All button font colors are same as generic Android builds.

Tabs in phone app & contact app are the proper colors too.

Lock Screen Sliders for now are the D2 sliders, I am rebuilding the code so it works porperly with the generic Android sliders."

If english is not your first language, there is google translate in Android market and on web...
[Droid 2 Android Development] JonandRoid:
Lol....I don't quite get it either..I was a noob once and asked some good but maybe vague questions but not stupid questions. I can understand when a noob asks a serious question on how to fix something that went wrong and where to find certain things but illiteracy is a big problem in this country/world..
[Droid 2 Android Development] roboots21:
It really does amaze me how much info is in the first post that people comment on in the thread. You are doing a great job Ang.

Anyway, I know the whole thing with the battery FC had you a little uneasy recently, but .. I have a valid issue with mine. It doesn't bother me in the least, but wanted to report it.

When I boot up my phone, battery manager works perfect, no issues whatsoever. Now, I put my phone in the car dock so it connects to charge via USB. I remove the phone from there say an hour later, and when I got to battery manager, I get an FC. The FC will be persistant until I reboot. I have not tried connecting the phone again and seeing if it fixes the FC.

Just wanted to give the heads up.
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
Thanks for the feedback. That is the first time since this battery FC issue someone actually posted on how it was caused.
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
RC3 Now Up!

Check first post for all info...
[Droid 2 Android Development] Spitemare:
This is odd. Just updated to RC3 and my location for the weather/new widget is showing up as Rio (which Rio? Regardless, all of them are at least a few hundred miles from my actual location). This persists through a refresh and won't show my correct location unless I turn on GPS.

EDIT: Just *228'd to update roaming profiles and 3G location is fine now. Weird.
[Droid 2 Android Development] nightwo|f:
I've had this problem several times, and there is an easy work around depending on the task manager/killer you use. The problem appears to be that the com.motorola.usb process/service gets wedged up, and killing it fixes the problem (it will automatically restart on its own after a few seconds). I use osMonitor and have it running in my notification bar all the time, and it will list that process and can kill it, whereas more basic task killers may not list it.

Now if I can just find out why the ringtone notifications I have set for individual contacts don't appear to work (and they're not files on /sdcard when i have usbstorage enabled) I'd be happy.
[Droid 2 Android Development] Spitemare:
What exactly does this mean? I see the update zip (the download page for it has the wrong link for D2 by the way) but what does it do?
[Droid 2 Android Development] prolefeedprocessor:
Seriously, people, read the first post. In addition to clogging the thread and irritating an overstressed and underappreciated AngDroid, it penalizes those of us who actually read the whole thing.

People who are trying to be helpful have to work under the assumption that anyone who has a problem may very well have not actually read first, leading to a lot of repetitive and useless advice from the first post. And that's fun for no one.

Please. It's a courtesy issue.
[Droid 2 Android Development] wecramer:
Please quote what post you're referring to - it helps us know what you're talking about.
[Droid 2 Android Development] prolefeedprocessor:
Stuff like this. Because he had to assume I may not have read the instructions, since so many others don't.
[Droid 2 Android Development] miketoasty:
Just installed 2.1 RC 3, and yet again another Angdroid ROM that works flawlessly.
[Droid 2 Android Development] mjones1052:
No one is questioning why pumpkin, people are questioning why there is claims of something being something that it isn't. Really couldn't care less one way or the other, myself.
[Droid 2 Android Development] want a droid:
For any of the add-ons, can I apply them to stock rooted rom? For example, can I do the reboot add-on .zip to put the reboot option on my phone?
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
If you couldn't care less yourself then why bother taking the time to comment, do you like failing at trying to be a wiseass? The claim is something it is and it is a work in progress so hence RC, go google or wikipedia that so you know what it means...
[Droid 2 Android Development] wjones:
After RC3 and Vanilla Framework patch, USb works again. Not sure which fixed it as I didn't check between RC3 and patch.
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
New Framework for RC3+

Please check download link for new framework...contains the generic sliders now!
[Droid 2 Android Development] primarilydna:
This rom seems to be coming out great!

Any ideas on when the final will be released?
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
We are planning on IRC release party Sunday night :)
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
Glad to hear, could have been a resource id conflict. There are like 1 or 2 more left and it is on the top 3 list of things to do before final :)
[Droid 2 Android Development] wecramer:
Awesome! Love the battery percentage in my taskbar, but I've run into one problem - now the battery mgr is FC'ing. No biggie, but I thought you needed to know.
[Droid 2 Android Development] milan616:
Try clearing the data for the battery manager in Applications, and clearing the battery stats in Clockwork.
[Droid 2 Android Development] prolefeedprocessor:
:D I'm excited for the final release of this awesome ROM. Just out of curiosity, are there going to be any more RC's between now and then?
[Droid 2 Android Development] wecramer:
That did the trick. Thanks.
[Droid 2 Android Development] JonandRoid:
Like its been said in previous posts, awesome rom!...I wish I could donate but right now is not a good time :/...I will donate soon though. You guys deserve it!. Love the battery percentage I've wanted that since I got my first droid 1 a year ago and now have it 3 droids later and on my droid 2 lol. Everything is flawless, atleast for me (I followed ALL directions lol). Thanks again for all the hard work

Edit: I installed the unlock sliders and my battery percentage disappeared??..ill try reinstalling it but im just curious as to what happened to it...?
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
Thank you!

Glad you like what is being done :)
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
Framework updated again...the current framework files that do not show battery percent now do battery usage in 10% steps...

Just download again from the link and install as patch :)
[Droid 2 Android Development] JonandRoid:
Oh okay thanks, it was funny cause I reinstalled the battery patch and the slider disappeared but im guessing you fixed it, thanks
[Droid 2 Android Development] JonandRoid:
Well I reinstalled the updated framework one and it removed my battery status again so I rebooted to recovery and tried to reinstall the battery and its working but it therefore removed the slider...im thinking for some reason the update states its installing d2 keyboard and both patches say that when installing so maybe they are overwriting eachother??...idk. anyone else having this or is it just me?
[Droid 2 Android Development] :
There are two new updates and both should have the sliders.

One update has the battery percentage displayed, the other does battery percentage by 10% but does not display the numbers.
