@ram130 - im trying to hold on to it as long as i can, but im losing hope as this thread seems to be empty. not sure where the devs are hiding. im hoping someone can pop in and give me a tiny glimpse of hope!

@chris975d - local vzw store on the day it was released. they sold it to me as pre-paid without having to actually activate the phone. i got really lucky (also helps that im a petite girl who knows her phones well :D)

@arich57 and @newk8600 - i did a nandroid first before flashing, that's how im back to stock. i flashed it and it would force airplane mode even with the vzw sim inside, but it was still locked. i havent tried flashing the fission rom again since i've had the phone unlocked, but im very tempted. the rom worked well, no fc's. Just that issued with the airplane mode. i went back to stock because i had thought about returning it, but figured i got such an awesome deal, i hold on to it a little while longer. just REALLY hoping we get someone to help us here.
[Droid 2 General] ram130:
Yes I agree. Lack of development makes me worried even more. I suggest you return it if you can and wait and see..then buy it again.
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
sbf is a System Boot File and when you tweak too much and end up with a messed up phone you flash this file and it loads a factory fresh version of the software onto your phone so you can tweak some more. Basically it's a safety net in case something goes wrong if you don't have the sbf if you mess up something and can't get into clockwork recovery (via koush's bootstrap) you can't fix what you did before and you are hosed.

I'm not sure how these things get out. If someone compiles them from a system dump or if it's leaked from Motorola.
[Droid 2 General] ram130:
Thank you so much for the explanation. Really helped. So basically the SBF makes the phone unbrickable too?:eek: I believe motorola will leak it soon then.
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
Almost unbrickable yes. If you can't get into the bootloader then you can't flash the file but you'd have to mess with something big to get stuck out of the bootloader or run your battery down because the phone won't charge without software (then it's only a partial brick because once you have a full battery you can fix it by flashing again.)
[Droid 2 General] ram130:
:D:D LOL ..wow ...loll....i should order a extra battery then
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
You shouldn't need to as long as you don't try anything risky with a low battery. lol
[Droid 2 General] ram130:
lol I flash a rom a couple of times with just 10% battery with my Vibrant ..I'd say risky enough :D ..
[Droid 2 General] ram130:
Got my phone today...Notice when I set it to gsm only it connects to T-Mobile then wcdma only it connects to AT&T 3G ..as noted on the first page of this thread. Oh I love the keyboard!! anyway back on topic:

Tested the sim card in another phone, it's not activated either..Use ma foriegn sim droid asks for network code( yea I know) ..I guess I'm just repeating whats been said/discovered already.

Right now my phone saying AT&T / vodafone NL on my lockscreen..go figure :D

I notice it also picks up much better signal than the other phones I've tested in my apartment. Oh well time to go annoy Motorola for some fixes..:mad:
[Droid 2 General] terrapins56:
status

what's the status of the US sim unlock? I am waiting for someone to unlock this phone so I can use it on at&t... can we get a dev status update? how close or far are we away from flashing the radio?
[Droid 2 General] milestonedude:
i'm waiting on the same thing. i want the D2G so bad! but i have to use it ATT! I check each day hoping for an update.
[Droid 2 General] ram130:
It's going no where..total progress is: 3% since the start of this thread. You should start looking another phone..or switch to Verizon.:o
[Droid 2 General] jy3ng4:
Have you looked at the Milestone 2?
[Droid 2 General] terrapins56:
the milestone 2 does not have 3g 850mhz and 1900mhz that at&t uses

Droid 2 Global

This is all horrible news..... We need some cookers on this.

I was getting my company to get me a droid 2 global as a work phone as they have wireless and then i would put my TMOBILE SIM in it for my personal line....

No need to carry 2 phone anymore! YAY!

Well, not, YAY, yet.
[Droid 2 General] Tony.The.Tiger:
@ram130

How has your foreign sim cards worked so far? I'm holding off on the Droid 2 Global but was going to get a relative to send me a Digicel Haiti sim.

I'm a Verizon customer now (Original Motorola Droid/Froyo) and want to keep them (corporate account) - so I'm LESS concerned about US Carrier-ID Blocking (aside from general "hack-ability"). Just hoping for one phone to do it all.

I apologize for the Thread tangent.
[Droid 2 General] ram130:
For those looking to unlock their phone for a cheaper price. They now have it on ebay for $10 .. I want to buy it but not until I'm happy with this phone ..:D

I have not gotten a chance to travel abroad as yet. I'm gonna do that next year. So far my DIGICEL Jamaica SIM is still active but I need to unlock my phone first.

From the information I've gather you should be fine though. :cool: ..just get the unlock code and your good.

Are you planning to travel soon?
[Droid 2 General] leobg:
If you check here, you will see that there is version with the 850/1900(/2100) WCDMA. The source is official enough to be somewhat trusted. Moreover the device is being released in Argentina in about couple of weeks. They use same North american WCDMA frequences over there. Here is link to that article (warning - non English content, for English speaking sociaty - Google can translate it for you).
[Droid 2 General] terrapins56:
that may be true, that a milestone 2 with 850/1900 3G is coming out soon, but the main difference is in the keyboard, which is why I want this phone. I tested both the milestone and the droid 2 global, and the keyboard on the droid 2 global is far better than the milestone 2/ droid 2!! the keyboard on the milestone 2/droid 2 is completely unusable. I had a samsung impression and that is absolutely the best keyboard yet. though I have not yet tested the HTC G2, but the G2 has the funky hinges that pops up. Which is fragile and falls under gravity, it's universally hated. The only good choice is droid 2 global so far. I hope a Canadian or European carrier picks it up or MOTO sells it unlocked.
[Droid 2 General] ram130:
Can the owners of this phone answer a question for me. Does your phone get warm and at times hot while using it? Mainly beside the camera area. I heard the original droid didn't have this issue.
[Droid 2 General] terrapins56:
for the short time I used the droid 2 gloabal, I did notice that it got warm. Can someone confirm this problem?? how much of a problem is this?? is heating a big issue with this phone? there was a case of a droid 2 exploding on someone's face.
[Droid 2 General] ram130:
Its getting annoying. There is even a thread on it here:

https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/41159?tstart=0

I've been using the phone for a hour now and its at 109 F

Right now the back is hot as hell..
[Droid 2 General] DONNY TRUMP:
If you're phone's too hot try dimming your screens brightness. That might help who knows. Anyway, I wish someone who's capable would figure out the SIMtuation (:cool:) i know, Both of these phones suck lol I just wanna resell them for more $$$$. There's no way i would give up my Dinc for these pieces of garbage. I guess they're cool if you're on att or tmobile but if you're on verizon ughh why would you want this. I understand everyones argument about the keyboard blah blah blah, but if you use the swiftkey keyboard OMG you'll never want a physical keyboard again I promise u that. With that said HURRY UP AND FIND A SOLUTION!!! lol I need to get at least $600 for my D2G and my Droid Pro on ebay.......
[Droid 2 General] ram130:
lol the screen brightness is on the lowest level ..dwl..ntn is wrong with this phone..for me I just wanted to switch it up again..coming from the Nexus One and Vibrant..
[Droid 2 General] bmtbandit:
There you go.
[Droid 2 General] zevrosenthal:
Boy that was fast!
[Droid 2 General] nopain9nogain:
Why dont anybody go for the milestone 2 instead ? this D2G and MS 2 have the same CPU, they just over clock the D2G to 1.2. So what's the big deal to have more extra 0.2 Ghz when having a headache to unlock it and now, heat problem ? The only thing i love the D2G is the white color. Btw some D2G user told me that the MS 2 is faster than the D2G coz most the time D2G just runs at 300 Mhz speed it would chage to 1.2 when it needed but It would take a little time to change and there would be a delay.
[Droid 2 General] terrapins56:
i give up

i checked out the desire z and it's in fact better than the d2g in terms of keyboard. the heating issues with the d2g and the battery life is shorter than the desire z. plus it is locked against all USA gsm networks. With all those reasons, I have given up on the D2G and decided to go with the desire z. if you're stuck on this phone and are trying to get it for at&t or t-mobile think about the desire z. good luck.
[Droid 2 General] ram130:
+1 !!! That is the current solution my friends. Some of you are still within your return period, I highly recommend it. The HEATING issues are enough for me! I've done my research and motorola tried but they don't know the cause.

Long story short. Wirefly is exchanging it for a DX which will be here tomorrow(free over night) and my account will be credited the difference. I got to say if your gonna sign on the dotted line..Wirefly is the way to go.

Anyway guys I wish you all luck..it was nice to me you. :cool:
[Droid 2 General] DONNY TRUMP:
WTF

Can't believe there still isnt a solution for the GSM to work on US carriers. I guess this is easier said than done???
[Droid 2 General] ram130:
I guess not many people are buying for use in the US. Majority have Verizon and use the global feature when traveling so it's a big issue or a problem really.
[Droid 2 General] DONNY TRUMP:
at this point you would think it'd be more about bragging rights lol :confused:
[Droid 2 General] ram130:
lol i know right..just the lack of xda dev interest here..then Motorola lock down just makes it worst, especially with no sbf available.
[Droid 2 General] lsxrx7:
stupid moto

why they lock it down so much

they would sell so many more if they make the unlocking process easier

heck

i would have already gotten one
[Droid 2 General] ZeroOveride:
Just saw this tweet from @angdroid:
[Droid 2 General] kicker22004:
looks like i'll be following this forum very close. I just sold my DX for 125 for this D2G thinking i could use it.....<<<Damn you VZW+MOTO>>> now i'm stuck with it.Don't get me wrong i love the phone but i need to beable to use att towers here in us.
[Droid 2 General] ram130:
That was the only reason you sold you DX? I have both phones in my room right now (using the DX to reply ) wondering which to return..help me out here.
[Droid 2 General] ram130:
OK I'm keeping the DX.
[Droid 2 General] vladzko:
Ehh, them vzw and moto bastards

i currently have a d2g, desperatelly need hack/solution to use with my att.

willing to pitch in if development takes us to the successful solution!!!

Oi, who wants a beer??
[Vibrant Android Development] untermensch:
I ran out of room to attach files to the other thread so I started a new one for Froyo JK2.

some small changes that include:

the carrier is shown on all lock screens

the menu button is disabled on the ASOP lock screen

the Epic lock screen is set to portrait mode by default

so the unlock icon is shown in the middle of the screen

when the phone boots

and the battery notification should be gone too, but Im still charging.

I have included real diff's for files that are not completely replaced

so it should be easier to port over to other Galaxy S phones.

it took 12 hours over 2 days to get this working, so don't even bother

PM'ing me asking to port it over to your phone/favorite ROM

Updated 11/14/2010

fixed crash with puzzle lock screen when phone orientation changed.

fixed crash with puzzle and epic unlock screens when receiving phone calls.

[Vibrant Android Development] TJD319:
untermensch once again amazing mod. On 2.1 this was my second favorite to MobileAP and since 2.2 is here with mAP thisis the best mod. I personally just love the puzzle lock for some reason.

I used rootexplorer to copy/paste the framework files. I was going to do the settings apk/odex after but the systrm hung and i pulled battery and rebooted. Since the default is now puzzle unlock i did not replace the settings apk/odex only because im cool with the Puzzle as default.

Awesome Mod man i really couldnt ask for more from Vibrsnt Froyo anymore.
[Vibrant Android Development] s0niqu3:
Thanks, like always for the amazing work you do!

Quick question, how did you patch the signature, in the odex files? I tried using dd to patch odex files like we did for the 2.1 stock lock screen mod, but ran into constant errors with boot looping, so I wondered if the offset or byte length changed in 2.2?

Thanks again, cheers everyone, =)
[Vibrant Android Development] untermensch:

Will this work with obsidian v2?
[Vibrant Android Development] djf8:
Using the deodex version on obsidion v3 and it works fine. Only problem is it blows away the battery percentage and the power options. I realize those aren't issues with this mod, but wanted to make others running Obsidian aware of the issues.
[Vibrant Android Development] laphoneuser:
I'm on Obsidian V2, and this didn't work for me. Got stuck in a boot loop. Had to re-flash Obsidian to fix.

I'm using onxy from team whiskey and it works... the detox version and my blue segment battery went away too
[Vibrant Android Development] NikolaiT:
Your battery mods will disappear because this replaces a few frameworks.
[Vibrant Android Development] xaymaca:
say what?? :confused:

same hear

don't seem to be worth it really, think i'll wait this one out
[Vibrant Android Development] cfvasquez:
yes how do you install this?
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
Yeah, kills power options too.
[Vibrant Android Development] geoffcorey:
Those of you running a tw Rom, this will Bork the themes/mods they apply to the framework files.

Wait until they apply them to their respective Rom before trying (and complaining that your Rom is borked).

Running perfectly here on stock jk2.

Wish you had some place to donate to. Your work is amazing.

"if you amplify everything, nothing is heard"
[Vibrant Android Development] cfvasquez:
How do you install it and how do you activate the lockscreen after that?
[Vibrant Android Development] geoffcorey:
Download the regular file (if you don't know what deodexing is, and you're running stock, don't get the deodexed one), save it to your ad card, then load up clockworkmod from recovery and flash the lockscreen file.

Reboot, got to settings>display and look for the lockscreen choice option.

EDIT: and by tw, I mean team whiskey. Also for the macnut r10 and below roms, this will Bork your install (eugene uses modified framework files). Not sure how it will work on macnut r11 since that'll be based on jk2.

"if you amplify everything, nothing is heard"
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
The framework from the macnut series (except the anticipated R11) I believe is based off the i9000 (JPM, JPA) and not JK2.

Lockscreens worked great on stock JK2. Thank you.
[Vibrant Android Development] cfvasquez:
Thank you, I had been doing that but It would not update for some reason, went into manual mode and applied the update and it worked fine, thanks. BTW, anyone know if stock jk2 will or does support bootanimation.zip for the boot animation?
[Vibrant Android Development] geoffcorey:
That's implemented in the kernel, and since the jk2 source hasn't been released, there is not support for it right now.

"if you amplify everything, nothing is heard"
[Vibrant Android Development] grennis:
Unfortunately I'm having frequent reboots with this mod. I can reproduce it pretty easily by letting the screen lock during angry birds, but it happens at other times too. Its not a total reboot, its one of those "screen freeze and then vibe and media scanner" type of soft reboots ...
[Vibrant Android Development] d3xt3rlab:
same here using eugene JK2 stock ROM....from time to time i get this graphical restarts :(
[Vibrant Android Development] grennis:
Thats what I am using also. Eugene's odin JK2.
[Vibrant Android Development] kuhan:
I posted this in the original 2.1 thread, but I wanted to mention that the Mesmerize has a new lockscreen that is similar to the Glass unlock, but looks a bit different. It'd be cool if you could get that... just saying... :D
[Vibrant Android Development] s0niqu3:
Hi again,

That looks like the same command I tried using, I wonder then if the bootclasspath changed?

After dropping my modded classes.dex (confirmed working on my deodexed rom) into the jar files, I was pushing the original JK2 odex files back to my phone, and then running:

dexopt-wrapper /system/framework/android.policy.jar /system/framework/patched.odex /system/framework/core.jar:/system/framework/ext.jar:/system/framework/framework.jar:/system/framework/android.policy.jar:/system/framework/services.jar

since that's the command that worked for the original AOSP lockscreen mod here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=779803

and then after my patched.odex was created, I'd run:

busybox dd if=/system/framework/android.policy.odex of=/system/framework/patched.odex bs=1 count=20 skip=52 seek=52 conv=notrunc

And of course renaming to android.policy.odex, and restoring the original android.policy.jar

But even with wiping dalvik cache, the phone would just crash/bootloop at the vibrant screen.

Just kind of curious now why it worked for you, no real rush or anything.

Anyway, thanks again for your amazing work, cheers, =)
[Vibrant Android Development] untermensch:
this problem should be limited to the Puzzle unlock screen and was caused by

yet another change in Froyo, should be fixed now. OP has been updated.
[Vibrant Android Development] s0niqu3:
Hi again,

Was the change in the puzzle lock smali files, framework-res layout files, both, or even more intrustive/involved?

The only file with a changed date is: PuzzleLockScreen.smali is that the only change?

I'd like to just replace only the files that were changed in your updated post if possible, saves me the hassle of re-building my theme/mod from scratch, yet again, lol.

Anyway, like always, thanks so much for everything you do!

Cheers everyone, =)
[Vibrant Android Development] untermensch:
I looks like the only thing I'm doing different running dexopt-wrapper without

any class options so:

dexopt-wrapper android.policy.jar android.policy.odex
[Vibrant Android Development] d3xt3rlab:
Its working great now!!!! thanks :D
[Vibrant Android Development] bert269:
problems for me also, with Eugene's Odin JK2 build

After running Eugene's build for three days and no problems, I installed this mod. Suddenly when I receive an incoming call, after about 1min, it would vibrate twice and drop the call & screen goes blank. restarts and I can make calls, but the moment I receive a call, it drops.

Installed Obsidian V2 (without these mods) but I really like those options to lock the screens - wish it was bug free.

Sorry - I did not take a logcat, I was to frustrated to get my phone to work, since I was expecting important calls.
[Vibrant Android Development] untermensch:
the change was only in PuzzleLockScreen.smali in method onOrientationChange()

the method recreateMe() takes an argument in Froyo I looked at the Froyo Glassunlock screen in Froyo and that method just return-void's so thats what I

changed it to.
[Vibrant Android Development] untermensch:
If you downloaded this mod before about 8:30 PM pst yesterday then this may

have been the orientation change bug with the Puzzle lock screen, but without

a logcat all I can do is look at the onPause() onResume() methods and see if

anything could be causing the crash.
[Vibrant Android Development] McBang2023:
So ive looked over all the post in both threads and still can't find my answer. After flashing the J16 clockwork version of this mod, i wanted to reboot my phone. But i found that my reboot options (reboot, recovery, download) are no longer avaiable. i figured i post here since the OP is the same for both mods. Can anyone shed light on how i can have both mods. The lockscreen mod and the reboot mod found here (http://xdaforums.com/show...=12):confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] ozzyzak:
I did this and I see the option, but it doesn't seem to be working. The screenshot in OP shows it working as a general unlock screen, but on my vibrant it says show puzzle lock screen for messages and missed calls. After sending texts to my phone it's still the same ol' lock screen. I'm a bit new so I'm sure I missed something. I'm using Axura 2, for what it's worth.
[Vibrant Android Development] untermensch:
If you are using a ROM then you want the deodex version
[Vibrant Android Development] d3xt3rlab:
Actually if u reject the call it crash immeditly (it goes blank)....tried with puzzle and epic lock (android and glass doesn't crash). After that graphic reset and RIL start crashing.

I'm using ur second version (stock JK2).
[Vibrant Android Development] untermensch:
both mods replace the same files, this is why you are not able to have both

at then same time.

the instructions on how to add the extended power menu options can be found here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=811532&highlight=power+menu

pre-modded smali files are attached to the first post, if you simply refuse to learn how to use

section and make a request.

Hey I no longer get the puzzle lock notification for the text messages. Not sure about the missed call though. Tried it on all the lock screens besides the stock android. The option of even having the mms puzzle isn't in the setting menu either. Is that because of the mod also?

working fine here, the check box has been removed since is severs no purpose after the mod.
