Humm, the thing is that Fenom is harder to flash for a newbie like me. I don't know if to fla**** with Rom Manager from Clockwordmod or what. I actually tried with that and got stuck on the yellow progress bar trying to do a Reboot into Recovery...

So, on the Fission ROM manager, is there an option to flash the GSM fix instead of the regular Fission rom? Weird that the fix wasn't included in the rom itself so far...

Thank you!
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] hgrimberg:
Ok, since you said Fission was not developed for GSM users, then I just installed Fenom. It is still a beta... Are you sure the developer used an updated kernel and radio?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] leobg:
Developer stated he used 2.4.330 as base, this means this rom uses the latest available baseband and kernel. (Fission is based off 2.4.29 initial D2g firmware)
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] manrayboy:
does any one know how to get into Diag mode on the D2G im using this fission rom but ##3424#(Diag) or ##3424(send) will work is it different with this rom?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] edwardlan:
just flashed this rom and loving it, but i've been searching for the way to enable Wifi Hotspot sharing. Is it removed from Fission? Is there any app i can use to have this function back? i need it very badly, so i might hv to give up this nice ROM and get back to stock simply bcs this lost....:(
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] tats_06:
Is flashed this today and am not seeing option for battery %. Please help me find it or point me in right direction of where I can flash it. Didn't see it in the Fission ROM app. Thank you.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] RaptorMD:
Never mind, I didn't pay close enough attention to the fact I was IN the D2G development thread. I am looking to pick up a d2G and root, then ROM it with this AOSP ROM. How is it running for those who have it and anything specific I need to know prior to rooting?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] droidduex:
Please respond ASAP

So I just installed fission on my droid 2 global (I have a nandroid backup and backed up in FRM) and I was wondering what should I do for installing the gingerbread theme in FRM. Should I just backup and clear cache and data? Thanks in advanced! Also if I wanted to go back to stock as I had before I installed fission what should I do? Thanks in advanced ;)!

PS Fission is awesome!
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] wbvczar:
I just flashed this rom to my wife's D2G and it is working great! Many thanks.

My wife did discover that the option to set a photo as her Facebook profile from the "Set As" menu is not there. Is there a way to add this option (open a picture, choose "Set As")? I did install the Facebook app.

Thanks again.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] RaptorMD:
I got a D2G off eBay last night, I will get ready to root and install this ROM. Any thing I should know about it in advance, specific tools for this ROM?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] RaptorMD:
I am not seeing the d/l link in the OP for Fission ROM and its not on Team Defuse's site. I did donate to get the full Fission ROM Manager is that the only way to d/l it for the D2G? If so that's fine but I thought it was in the OP?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] terrigan:
If you have the app, just install it through there. It''s painless.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] rusty815:
You can only get it from the Rom manager
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Ryanze:
hi guys, i'm a bit late of getting droid2global. i want to change my stock rom to fission, but i cant download TDFoneclickroot, Koush’s Bootstrap, and Fission ROM manager lite from teamdefuse's website.

so can you or anyone help me to mirror those 3 files to hotfile or other upload web so i can download it. thanks a lot.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] rusty815:
I am guessing you're trying to download them from your phone, if so, you have to download them from your computer then transfer them over
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Ryanze:
no i am not. i'm using my PC to download them, i don't know what's wrong. can i just root d2g using superoneclick instead of tdfoneclickroot?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] RaptorMD:
Thanks. I donated so I could get the full Fission ROM Manager so when my D2G arrives in the next day I will root and then install the necessary apps and d/l it from FRM.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] terrigan:
Get Z4root, install it via adb, "adb install Z4root.apk", run it on your phone, tap Permanent Root and let it work, Get and install Droid 2 Bootstrapper and afterwards run Fission rom manager and install 2.4.3. Done.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Ryanze:
thanks, it seems easy. oh ya, my d2g is gsm unlocked by code so i can use any gsm simcard, will it be locked again after i flash this rom? sorry for keep asking (maybe) so common question.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] RaptorMD:
I got my D2G and was going to root and install Fission tonight but now my D2G is doing a lot of random reboots for no reason. I have a replacement coming (refurb) for Monday which sux so now I have to wait to root.

Curious if anyone has run into this, if so any chance the Fisson ROM did something to help resolve it, perhaps something is messed up in the Moto code that Fission took out.\

Delayed and annoyed but in a few days I will be rolling along.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] tehkraft:
lockscreen?

is there any way to possibly port the d2 fission 2.6.1 lockscreen over to d2g fission 2.4.3? everything on my global works fine except that damn lockscreen reboot. or even just a quick fix? the only rom that runs well on my d2global is fission and this lockscreen reboot happens at least three times a day. hopefully ang comes back(again?) or gb leaks for this thing soon
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] rusty815:
the reboot is not because of the lock screen, although it freezes when unlocking, try installing the stock motorola gallery app from the market and if you have a task killer, uninstall it.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] tehkraft:
definitely no task killer, i thought it was the music player that was doing it on other versions of fission, but that wasnt the case either as i had tried installing that. so what is it about the gallery app thats causing the freeze? i have the aosp gallery from FRM, which i prefer significantly over the ugly moto one. is there ANY other way to stop the reboots?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
I have never ONCE experienced this issue with Fission.

I have to ask did you guys try and flash Liberty with the romer patch or any of the other alpha/beta roms that are floating around?

Your issue sounds an awful lot like what happens on a D2 flashed rom with Romer. Romer shuts off the sensors to stop it from happening.

If you did use Romer at some point or flashed a D2 rom based off it, What I suggest you do is flash the FULL Stock SBF that is available somewhere around here and then go into FRM and install Fission.

I am guessing here you guys flashed a D2 rom with Romer and then probably went back to Fission using FRM and didn't know that Fission just replaces some files on the phone it doesn't actually clear the phone of everything on it. (Fission is not what you call a FULL ROM! just an Overlay)

If you go back to stock via SBF it should clear the phone and set it to full stock and then you can use FRM to put Fission there. Fission is best flashed starting from stock.

I have never had the lockscreen crash or reboot using Fission. So Fission isn't the cause of your issues, something else you did to the unit BEFORE you put Fission on must be the cause.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] tehkraft:
sorry, but that's definitely not the case. i got this new from verizon as a warranty replacement. flashed directly from stock to fission 2.4.3

every time i flash fission i've had this issue and its been acknowledged as being caused by a reference to the music app in the lockscreen music controls that were removed. somehow he fixed it in 2.6 but since 2.6 isnt available on global, i really want to figure out how to just port that lockscreen fix over to 2.4. he even made the cool color changey lockscreen sliders from aosp work in 2.6, too bad he disappeared again before getting any work done on global or even touching gingerbread :(
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] wbvczar:
Anyone have an idea on this? It would make the wife even happier. I have searched but found nothing.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
New as in BOX new or new as in You didn't have it before warranty replacement?

Most warranty replacements are refurbs that could have many number of things flashed to it. I once got a CMONEXED TP via warranty replacement! LOL

All I can say is I never have seen that issue ever on my D2G with Fission. But I also installed all the Plus multimedia packages and use a 3rd party Gallery.

SO if it was as you say a bad Gallery just uninstall and use something else.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
That is a Blur feature, and this ROM isn't blurred, so no.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Stu_Gotti:
I just rooted via z4root, installed and ran the bootstrap recovery, and installed this ROM Manager on my fiancées Droid 2 Global and my "hand-dyno" thanks you all... excellent improvement on her phone!
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] The Great NY:
im working on flashing this to my GF's phone. the thing stock freezes a lot so im hoping this vanilla rom will fix all that. damn motorola stuff. kills phones everytime imo

Boot Loops... What Did I Do?

Hi Guys.

I just took the plunge this morning and tried to root my d2g and install Fission 2.4.3.

Here's what I did...

1) Installed z4root and did permanent root

2) Installed droid 2 bootstapper and did the reboot/recovery

3) Got into clockwork and made all the backups

4) Donated and installed 1.2.4 Fission ROM Manager

5) Downloaded 2.4.3 and 2.4.3 hotfix and installed

At this point, I got...

6) boot looped with 'android' blue/white letters

Then I did...

7) Full restore with clockwork

Other info:

Android Version 2.2

System Version 2.4.330.A956

Kernel Version 2.6.32.9

Obviously, I missed something-- but what could it be? I do know, I did not choose to wipe, but that's all I got...!

Any help would be great, Thanks.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
You need to wipe your cache and data

You can do it in Clockwork Mod Recovery.

Once you do the problems should be solved.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] radio.one:
Will that affect the backup I've made? Or just the data on the phone at present?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
It will not affect the SD card but you should always make a backup of whats on the card before you Flash. At least I do.

It should just clear the Data and Cache folders though.

And get you past the loop.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] radio.one:
Hi Asphyx... I just did selected the wipe options (data+cache) on the install and no more boot loop...

One question, now that I am successful, I no longer have my apps. But they are backed up... Can I retrieve from backup? Some of them I have paid for, like Tasker for instance...
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] stingbandel:
I was wondering what's the different between the lite version and the full version?

also, has anybody tried to use the droid 2 rom then use the D2G Romer to get the Droid 2 rom to work with D2G?

I just got my phone yesterday and wondering about this.

thanks
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
Well when you sync with your Google Account your apps should come back as all that info of what you paid for and what you had installed is saved in the marketplace.

No need to go for a backup unless it is something that you installed outside of the marketplace.

And if there are any then your better off installing with the APk anyway.

But as soon as you add your google account and go to the marketplace you should see everything you had on the phone before downloading.

One of the best parts (and worst if you like privacy) about the Marketplace.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
The Light version is the free versio, the full version is for donators and get first crack at any new releases. Not that any new releases have been made since I got it so Try the light and see if the current Fission is available, if not I guess you will have to donate.

It's worth it considering the current version works flawlessly.

At least on my unit.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] wbvczar:
Link contact records

My wife liked this rom with the exception of a few things. They were enough for her to make me revert her phone back to stock. I liked the speed, but it is not my phone.

One of the biggies was the apparent lack of the ability to link contact records from People, Facebook and twitter. Does anyone have any information on this? Can it be done without Moto Blur?

Thanks again for the help.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
Yes it is just done differently than in Blur.

Here is what I suggest no matter which OS you decide to do as the contact issue has more to do with the war between Google and Facebook than it does either OS!

Facebook contacts do not show up in your google contacts they are kept as seperate entities. They are also listed as seperate in the phone unless you join them to the corresponding Google contact. Which you can not do unless there is a corresponding Google Contact to join them (Fission) or Link them (Blur).

Try this (and I suggest this to anyone using android) :

Create a Yahoo mail account (free) and with no contacts in it import your facebook contacts with their wizard.

Export those to CSV format and import them into Google Contacts.

Sync with your phone, you should now have duplicates of every facebook contact. One listed under the google profile and one listed as Facebook profile.

Edit the facebook one and JOIN/LINK it to the Google contact.

You now have one contact for both profiles.

What may have confused you is in Fission you need to edit the contact before you can see the JOIN option. In Blur it shows the LINK button in normal display.

As for Twitter it should work in much the same way as the facebook only it is probably easier since Twitter isn't intent on being the sole arbitor of your personal information and probably has an export feature for contacts on their site.

See if Yahoo mail has it.

I did the following with Facebook and LinkedIn and the only other issue is you have to tell the contact program which profile picture to use otherwise whenever someone plays contact pic merrygo round on facebook their contact picture will change!
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] slowhatch:
so with the 2.3 out, how long before we can get a fission with a 2.3 base? :)
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] rusty815:
probably never, seeing as how no one has gotten a fission update in almost half a year now, its a dead project, anyways you should go to droid forums, theres a few devs there that said they would be making roms for the d2g when gingerbread comes out.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] enkrypt3d:
ok so i flashed this rom and i have no radio functionality at all..... help!!!

its rooted with z4root and I used the manual method... luckily I took a backup.... what should i do? thanks
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] rusty815:
If you have no radio then that means you flashed the wrong version on your phone, what phone do you have?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] enkrypt3d:
its the d2g - i realized i flashed the wrong ROM and i dont see a D2G ROM for Fission..... *facepalm*....... So I just found a stock rom that i can use without the bloatware and going with that one..... sigh
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] rusty815:
No worries, fission is outdated and slow compared to the newer roms out there, I'm running CM on my droid 2 global :D

Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL running Cyanogenmod!!!
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] bfederspill:
Where do I go to get cm for my D2G?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] rusty815:

Hello Everyone,

I am interested in flashing this on my work phone, does this support Corporate Sync?

Thanks ahead of time for all of the work!!
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] leobg:
It does, but push is very unreliable. If you want stable corporate sync, you have to either use stock Gingerbread rom, or GB based custom ROMs.

ActiveSync on Froyo base (which this rom is based on) is broken on D2G.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] wapena92:
Is GSM/CDMA working on this Rom???
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] xryousukex:
fyi, Motorola/Verizon just updated system version 2.4 so should we be expecting a new version from team defuse?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] botnryan:
Im having the same issue I reported on rc1 where after a phone call the screen wont come back on.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
Did it come out OTA?

Have not ran into that issue...strange. Will keep my eye out on it.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] xryousukex:
It was mentioned on droid-life: http://www.droid-life.com/2010/12/17/droid-2-global-update-ready-to-go-fixes-global-calling-bugs/

it's suppose to OTA but no confirmation of anyone getting it so far on d-l
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] botnryan:
if we're on a custom rom we wont recieve that will we
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
nope, will not get new OTA...will update fission if it needs to be.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
2.4.2 now up...check fist post for info...

Help

I would like to know if this ROM works on devices outside the U.S.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
Not sure but a Milestone2 version will be out in a few days :D
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] brenopapito:
In my country Droid 2 called Milestone 2. :rolleyes:

I did all the instructions to install the ROM and when I restart the phone, it does not pass the logo of Motorolla.

Did I do something wrong or simply this ROM not work in my device?

Tks for reply.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
You will need to SBF since the ROM will not work with the Milestone 2. Be patient and one will be out in a couple of days, just need some time :)
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] brenopapito:
I look forward !!

:D

Tks again !
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
Have fun...SBF and I are now are worst enemies :D
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] commander-flatus:
How do I get voice input back into this ROM (ie little microphone icon on the soft keyboard)? That's something I'm missing badly. Otherwise, it rocks! My battery life is fantastic now, BTW.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
Install Voice Search from market. To get all the google apps back, load market and search for Google Inc.

Thanks for the battery comment. I still think it sucks with this ROM compared to the Droid2 but I guess the extra boost in speed kills it :)
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
Fission Black Edition

Check FRM for the Black Edition...

Some theme music for it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L92dYzBGBHk

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JR5I4n912UQ&feature=related :D

I am running launcher pro and curvefish for the toggle widgets...not part of theme.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] botnryan:
More on this..don't know if this helps but if I turn the screen back on mid-call the problem goes away. Even if the screen goes back off from timing out, the problem isn't a problem
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
Is the battery life on the D2G really as bad as I have seen? I had 100% went I left my house today, was on train, listened to some tunes and was on IRC, did some tweets, used google maps and made a few calls. I am back home at 10%. The D2 would have used a lot less battery...
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] commander-flatus:
Thanks. Got the voice recognition back. Somehow I thought it was the keyboard that was messed up. Anyway. Great ROM. Battery life is fine for me as I have the extended batt and chargers at my desk at work and at home - I can get a full day in no matter.

Thanks again for all your hard work. I'll be sure to contribute.

Best,
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] randytheshiv:
idk how come, but i use the same extended battery that i had on my d2 on my d2g, and the battery life suffers. i even tried underclocking to 800mhz but its still the same.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] botnryan:
i have great battery life. usually between 12 and 16 hours. i have a fb widget that updates every 30 minutes, weather updates every 30 mins, i use FB and text alot, 3 or 4 phone calls a day. use pandora occasionally, occasionally play some paper toss or angry birds.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] lpd0084:
I'm not seeing any themes in the rom manager
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] botnryan:
make sure you have the newest rom manager v 1.2.4. i see fission black edition and third eye black theme under themes.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
I used the global for a few hours today and can not believe how bad the battery was. I am going to leave it on charger all night to make sure it is 100% charged and see what it is like tomorrow. Granted I did listen to MP3s for a couple of hours, flashed a few themes, used GPS, WiFi and maps but I should have lasted a bit longer. It did charge for like 20 minutes too or it would have died on way home.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] lpd0084:
That's what I'm using. Gonna try uninstall reinstall
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] lpd0084:
Still no themes
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
They have not populated to the lite version yet...
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] lpd0084:
Ah
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] babybungbu:
Hi guys, does this 2.4.2 ROM remove all the motorola blur widgets and applications? After installed this cooked ROM, I cannot use any "blur" app such as import contacts from SIM to Blur Contacts or add social networking widget on home screen.

One more question. I see that you have posted 2 ROMs: Full ROM and Upgrade? What's the difference between these 2 files?

Thank you for your reply.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
No blur in ROM. Full ROM is for users coming from OEM or another ROM; upgrade is for users who are currently on a lower version of Fission.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
2.4.3 now up
