[Milestone 2 General] Moody:
I have the backups and am working on it :)

And yeah CWM can't access the /boot partition, that means it can't be modified either so I won't have to modify it. Something I think might cause an issue are the init.rc scripts. They are extracted on boot from the /boot partition and unchangeable. On the x10 mini pro it went like this:

SE Boot.img extracts init.rc, the init.rc calls a file called "chargemon" which normally checks if the phone should boot into charging mode or do a normal boot. We replaced chargemon with a script which replaces init.rc with a custom one we provide and like that boot into custom roms.

On the Milestone such a file existed as well, second boot or something. I'll have to see if there's such an app on the M2 as well. Could anybody share me a layout of the / partition? In easy words:

1. Power up your phone and connect it.

2. Open up a command prompt.

3. Type in: adb shell ls / > text.txt

4. Upload text.txt to xda-dev's

AngDroid post on his twitter:

"Hi Everyone...sorry for lack of updates, my apologies. Other projects needed to be worked on .. http://www.angrybearista.com/"

and

"More news coming tomorrow with updates to DX and D2 soon after. Must sleep for now."
[Milestone 2 General] handsomeboy1702:
still no news on MS2?
[Milestone 2 General] DeadSix17:
Just check it yourself -> http://twitter.com/AngDroid and http://www.teamdefuse.com/

Also check the dates.. because teamdefuse wasnt updated recently..
[Milestone 2 General] chibani:
*feel like screwed up* ... (damn it hurts !)
[Milestone 2 General] DeadSix17:
why.. i didnt donate.. i never donate lol.. also we found a guy that does liberty rom.. so just hope for him!
[Milestone 2 General] Shellite:
I am genuinely sorry for all the people who were mislead by Angdroid, and at the same time glad I myself chose not to donate.

There is no excuse for not keeping the very people who supported him, informed, of the current status.

Clearly he has found other projects of more interest.
[Milestone 2 General] p.gregy:
I donated and I don't feel betrayed. I understand that sometimes you have good intentions but then it goes wrong for whatever reason. I would only suggest AngDroid to give the MS2 to someone who is willing to work on it (if he is not going to do it himself).
[Milestone 2 General] axes90:
Didn't he want to port the CM6?
[Milestone 2 General] DeadSix17:
Sorry for wrong informations.. im a bit overloaded with them lol.. idk what he wants to port.. ive just read "liberty" .. and now saw the 2ndinit port and CM6 stuff.. so i guess CM6
[Milestone 2 General] skaburn:
AngDroid tweeted again.. nothing on ms2.
[Milestone 2 General] elfodd:
"Over the past day or two I started to tweak the current ROMs a bit more and tried to figure out a major bug with the Milestone2 ROM."

from http://www.teamdefuse.com/
[Milestone 2 General] Liori:
at least something that we can hope for
[Milestone 2 General] kanek06:
Yesterday, I was expecting Angroid will post here some alpha, you will saying finally and at the evening, Angroid will say APRIL FOOOLZ!

By the way, this ROM is getting fast developed like official froyo to Samsung Galaxy .... I will wait few days, then UnSubscribe and I will go somewhere else, bye
[Milestone 2 General] DeadSix17:
Sounds immature, since i subscribed the whole forum.. and see when theres a new post here, i just gave up waiting for something instead of raging for some idiot porting something to the MS2.. since i accept the self-fail that i didnt do much research about bootloaders before i bought the MS2.. if i knew that a Signed bootloader exists.. i would have bought the GalaxyS..
[Milestone 2 General] inheme:
I make your words mine. If've know the MS2 was this locked thing I wouldn't have bought it.
[Milestone 2 General] lambstone:
ditto. (words filler)
[Milestone 2 General] kanek06:
UnSubscribed, Angroid ****ed us ...

Time to say gooodbyee ... Sunari Ferrariii LOL
[Milestone 2 General] Bigdaddy168:
Signed :(

But I still put my hopes in that
[Milestone 2 General] gorcutt:
Guys,

I just installed Argen2Stone, it's far away from perfect, but it's also far better than the stock ROM. I can see my phone running much faster now. I think it's a valid shot.
[Milestone 2 General] Emacore:
Motoblur sucks man
[Milestone 2 General] AragornPE:
Argen2Stone took a lot of MotoBlur out of M2, you should give it a try. My phone is booting in 10s flat after Argen2Stone, compared to almost 1min with stock ROM
[Milestone 2 General] kanek06:
OK, and why are you posting here - to topic of scamer?
[Milestone 2 General] Phanes:
1. Scammer is writen with double "m"

2. What the heck are you trolling around here?
[Milestone 2 General] AragornPE:
I really don't see a problem posting it here. Emacore said that he wanted a blurless rom, and Argen2Stone is trying to provide that. Also, this topic lost its function a long time ago, angdroid already got his money and did nothing for the community. It's your right to not like it, but also my right to like and talk about it.
[Milestone 2 General] gorcutt:
I have to confess my deception also. I started myself all this movement on gathering money to provide the guy with a hardware he could work with and of course I knew it could be or not possible to port a viable and better version of android to the M2 platform. I took the risk. My deception goes beyond on not having fission ROM for M2, as this was a possibility. My deception stays on not having any news from Angdroid. He could at least say "hey guys, I'm here and working on this" or "sorry guys, I could not make the drivers work for this phone" or anything else, just a few words...

I'm really sorry for starting this movement and encouraging you guys on spending money with this.
[Milestone 2 General] Emacore:
angdroid is now working for something that is giving more money... a game
[Milestone 2 General] :
angroid is an oxygen thief

Oh, well that is OK then ;) I bet it is a game where you bend over to poke your hard earned (or not so hard earned) cash through a hole in the wall and then someone runs up behind you and kicks you in the tenders!

The guy doesn't have the intestinal fortitude to even defend himself, I was silly enough to PM him to ask how much he needed. He responded $70 so I transferred the amount in good faith but fortunately the cash is of little importance to me however the loss of trust in developers such as angroid will linger for some time ...
[Milestone 2 General] Emacore:
really sad to me that I admire developers

@Motorola Milestone 2
[Milestone 2 General] kanek06:
I am here in the scammer topic. How much money did you send him anyway? Where is he from? Maybe we should kick his ass, sorry I tiped it bad - kill him
[Milestone 2 General] dangpzanco:
He's from the USA (look in his profile), and people (not me) sent him all the money needed to buy a new phone...:(
[Milestone 2 General] :
I think it is pointless harbouring any animosity towards individuals like this. It isn't healthy for your own mental well being and I doubt it would change his attitude towards how he treats others. I think karma will level his playing field some time in his life ...

In the meantime I've purchased another phone from a different manufacturer, Motorola can GAGF ;) I'll grasp every opportunity I can to advise friends, family and anyone who will listen that they should NOT purchase Motorola mobile phones.
[Milestone 2 General] gorcutt:
Agree!!!! I'll get something else when this M2 dies, probably in a year, tops, just like every cel phone these days...
[Milestone 2 General] agent008my:
the best bet is to go for a google phone. yes they are manufactured by other companies but are rebranded by google. but the major plus point is that you'd get every update first before anybody else :)
[Milestone 2 General] WongJames:
I am waiting for the new Nexus with better appearance coming out:p

really don't like the look of Nexus S x_x
[Milestone 2 General] philhgw:
new status of angroid.one of the first tweets since one and a half month.seems there were serious real life problems?perhaps the developement could go on?

"@AngDroid: @Miminux one of the reasons I came back was to take care of unfinished business with MS2. My apologies but life stuff is serious"

Sent from my MS2
[Milestone 2 General] :
What a load of rubbish, how long and how hard is it to make a quick short post explaining his actions (i.e. I have some emotional/physical/financial/anal probe by Alien entity or other issues that I want to resolve before continuing with the xxxx but I will return) would have been sufficient.

So he hasn't used the internet whatsoever over the last few months? Pffft ....
[Milestone 2 General] sahilarora911:
What happened to? :)

Relax mate..
[Milestone 2 General] mnx:
It's my twitter account (miminux), now we have to wait & see & hope
[Milestone 2 General] gorcutt:
Sorry man, but this was funny post. I paid 20 bucks and now i'm ROFL, or should I say LMAO :-)

Sorry again, I'm just trying to be positive.
[Milestone 2 General] :
I had a bad hair day :)
[Milestone 2 General] Liori:
On Angdroid's twitter

@AngDroid AngDroid

D2G and MS2 will be included...just grinding off the rust.
[Milestone 2 General] savagecabage:
i think i read something about Motorola saying that the Droid 3 or any new motorola phones wont be locked down any more?
[Milestone 2 General] AragornPE:
Motorola also said that some devices will be unlocked by Q3 2011. But nothing is confirmed with Moto until they really unlock it.
[Milestone 2 General] rsb007:
AngDroid said on twitter for AragornPE that he will tell us today what happened to him.

I hope he can come back to work soon
[Milestone 2 General] AragornPE:
Unless angdroid's day has 36 hours, he is kinda late. I send it before yesterday at 20h, Brazil time.
[Milestone 2 General] kanek06:
LOL, let's see. I will be happy, if he will write here. I am giving him chance again, but I hope, he will not get me angry again :-/
[Milestone 2 General] gorcutt:
I'm not that confident.
[Milestone 2 General] Dead Cell:
After waiting for so long I have finally decided to say good bye to the Milestone 2 and to Motorola for that matter. A great line of devices crippled by the sh*ty Motorblur (except original Milestone) and being at the Mercy of Motorola to release Android updates, if they ever do release it!

Motorola and sadly now also HTC are on my block list until of course they decide to release phones with open boot loaders.

Have moved over to the LG Optimus 2X and so far I'm loving it! The boot loader is open and there are so many developers tweaking this beast already!

Hopefully it works out for you guys but at the same time I hope you all have learnt a lesson like I have.
[Milestone 2 General] kanek06:
I have not MM2 yet, and I don't know what buy else than MM2 - I want HW keyboard.
[Milestone 2 General] oTToToTenTanz:
There is a new EVO series with HW Keyboard, isn't there?

Topic: So Angdroid has not shown here after all...? Good lord...
[Milestone 2 General] RDUKE7777777:
Dunno, but i just saw a tv ad for sony xperia pro. Maybe its good....pretty unlikely for a sony ericsson but maybe this time...
[Milestone 2 General] kanek06:
I will look at it, hope it don't have ****ty keyboard construction alá DesireZ
[Milestone 2 General] savagecabage:
meh

at least you will be getting 2.3 with the xperia pro, something we might never be getting on the M2 :(
[Milestone 2 General] :
He has been abducted by Aliens and is currently recovering from an intergalactic enema...
[Milestone 2 General] aithnea:
The T-Mobile Sidekick 4G looks like it has a lovely keyboard (plus comes in PINK!!) and is quad band.

Big difference in specs from M2 is 1GB flash ROM (instead of 8). I do not even know what flash ROM is! Is that internal storage?
[Milestone 2 General] oTToToTenTanz:
Yes, I think so.
[Milestone 2 General] AragornPE:
Here's a good thing to all who donated to Angdroid. He just said on twitter he'll refund everybody who donated to him and is feeling bothered about this situation.

Just search for angdroid on twitter
[Milestone 2 General] oTToToTenTanz:
I rather had him doing the development but he most probably surrendered due to the absolute locked system.
[Milestone 2 General] eliasje:
build nr
[Milestone 2 General] mnx:
I think you failed writing the password because I try and it's ok

don't put space between "milestone" and "2"
[Milestone 2 General] brenopapito:
I am very interested in helping. I live in Brazil and my carrier is TIM.

I am available to help in any way.

Sorry for my english

:D
[Milestone 2 General] p.gregy:
Angdroid, I sent you my clean nandroid backup a way back. Didn't you get it? Anyway: hxxp://gregy.cz/android/nandroid.zip .

I would even trade you for d2 global if it wasn't the white edition. I think it is quite ugly :( (mean no offense)
[Milestone 2 General] oTToToTenTanz:
I love the white version! Angdroid, you have the same name on the android market, right? I saw some "apps" you made.
[Milestone 2 General] Shellite:
Any luck finding what you need angdroid? Sing out if there's anything you need that we can help with.
[Milestone 2 General] TomaszD84:
Man I'd love to see a blurless ROM for my M2. You have my full support.
[Milestone 2 General] gorcutt:
Hey Angdroid, I dropped you a few days ago a message about my upgrade to fission not working and this thread is definitely the answer. I thought D2G would be the same as the Milestone 2 however now is clear that it isnt so the answer is clear now.

I'm joining the group of milestone 2 users willing to use your ROM. I'm also a M2 user from Brazil.

I will even suggest to everyone donations so you can buy a M2 and make the necessary tests so we can have our phones securely upgraded with a clean android. 60 donations of 10 dollars would do the trick and this wouldn't make much of difference on ones pocket :)

Best,

Guilherme
[Milestone 2 General] kingofthievesNL:
I signed up for this forum just to encourage Angdroid to keep working on the custom rom without blur and it's awful apps. I have a Milestone2 but am a noob to android and custom roms so I doubt I can be of any help. However, if donations are needed I'd be willing to give $10 or so via paypal.

Good luck and keep us informed :)
[Milestone 2 General] elfodd:
+1
[Milestone 2 General] :
Fission for the Milestone 2 this would be soooooooooo awesome
[Milestone 2 General] Driven1978:
Yes, very interested.

Ive always thought that droid2 and milestone2 were the same? So there ARE differences?

Please someone make a Custom Rom for the Milestone2 available!
[Milestone 2 General] elfodd:
Bump
[Milestone 2 General] mnx:
in facts, Milestone 2 is more similar with Droid2 global.

A backup of system as been sent to angdroid. I hope he can use it to make a european release of fission.

ps : sorry for my english, I'm french :confused:
[Milestone 2 General] Tio_paladino:
+1 =D

Very interested in this awesome rom be available to ms2 \o/
[Milestone 2 General] ianmorcnar:
Hey angdroid, any update about the development? Are you still waiting for a m2? I would subscribe the" fund raising" :)
[Milestone 2 General] elfodd:
Is this project dead? :-(
[Milestone 2 General] slayer03:
I'm very interested too! My M2 is unlock and come from France.

Thx!
[Milestone 2 General] SpaceBeest:
Fission would be awesome :D
[Milestone 2 General] Bigdaddy168:
i am also very interested... it would be great! :)
[Milestone 2 General] p.gregy:
So I talked with AngDroid and he definitely needs M2 for this, so we can either forget it or somehow together buy him one.
[Milestone 2 General] sahilarora911:
oooooopppppppppssssss!!!

Now tht isnt good news for us Milestone 2 users...
[Milestone 2 General] chibani:
How much would we need to gather to get Angdroid a MS2 ?
[Milestone 2 General] p.gregy:
I would say around 600USD (new, with shipping from Europe). Maybe less depends where.
[Milestone 2 General] kingofthievesNL:
It's 450 in euro's over here in the Netherlands. If we get the phone to him, how great are the chances that we'll see a custom rom (with the locked bootloader and all) ?

Sent from Motorola Milestone2.
[Milestone 2 General] elfodd:
the droid 2 bootstrapper works on milestone...
[Milestone 2 General] savagecabage:
id be willing to throw 10 as well if it meant no more blur. and if he made an option to turn the vibrating buttons at the bottom id pay even more! it might save some battery too
[Milestone 2 General] lpnb:
haven't posted here either but I'd be willing to throw in also.
[Milestone 2 General] chibani:
I've created a form to know who's ready to donate, and how much.

https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dG92RXRNblN4NEVSZkRpRFQ3WUlXMWc6MQ

Spread it ;)
[Milestone 2 General] oTToToTenTanz:
+15 Dollars from me!
[Milestone 2 General] nopain9nogain:
20 dollars from me, I could not stand motor blur and the touch screen bug anymore.
[Milestone 2 General] chibani:
Would be at least 20 or 30 for me :)
[Milestone 2 General] modern_messiah:
If you're going to buy the Milestone 2, get it from Clove in the UK. 310 pounds without VAT comes to USD$480. Much cheaper than the Euro price quoted earlier.

Not sure about shipping to the US, but for shipping to Australia (just as far) it came to a shade over AU$520. Our dollar value is approximately on par with the US currently.

In other words get the cheapest one you can lol.:p

EDIT: oh and my M2 is in the mail (should get it Thursday). I am willing to donate $10 (i filled the form out) but if blur is as bad as it's made out to be I will gladly put in more!
[Milestone 2 General] nopain9nogain:
Where does he live ?
[Milestone 2 General] TomaszD84:
I'm willing to donate USD 10 for the cause.
[Milestone 2 General] oTToToTenTanz:
nopain9nogain: somewhere in the states?
[Milestone 2 General] mr_recordman:
Maybe Fission team can buy it here.

www dot expansys-usa dot com/motorola-droid-milestone-2-android-smartphone-unlocked-203511/[/url]

US$ 534.99, free shipment. :D
[Milestone 2 General] nopain9nogain:
If he lives in Houston I can lend him mine til we have enough money to buy him one.
[Milestone 2 General] savagecabage:
that sounds like a much better option, let you get some money for lending the phone and then some money to the devs for doing it. because they will just end up with a phone that they will never use. (or do some places in US use GSM as well?)
[Milestone 2 General] newk8600:
Yes AT&T, Tmobile, Viaero. Lots of places in US use GSM but I don't know if they use the same bands that companies use overseas.
[Milestone 2 General] brenopapito:
Someone talked to him?

He needs to know that we will give a Milestone 2, and he could give more attention to this topic.
[Milestone 2 General] chibani:
He's aware about that ;)
[Milestone 2 General] 3-S-E:
+1 from me and all the milestone 2 user here in Germany!!!

We need some attention, because Milestone 2 is a good phone which desires better!!!!
[Milestone 2 General] tatoone:
From Italy....

go please go!
[Milestone 2 General] nopain9nogain:
Anyone has his phone number, email address or something that I can contact him?
[Milestone 2 General] chibani:
Try sending him a PM or try to get him on irc (freenode/#teamdefuse). Good luck ;)
[Milestone 2 General] samitro:
Pleeeeaaaaaase
[Milestone 2 General] gorcutt:
I've already suggested a solution. How many of you is willing to contribute?
[Milestone 2 General] chibani:
Almost 40 persons have answered the form i've created, and most of them are willing to donate around 5 to 15$ (some more, some 0)...
[Milestone 2 General] gorcutt:
Well, so maybe we have a way to go from here. I know Angdroid work is priceless, but we have to make sure he will have enough contributions so he can have a M2 for tests otherwise these donations would have no purpose for these people specifically. So chibani, what would be the next step? It would be nice to have a word from Angdroid here too.
[Milestone 2 General] chibani:
I've just sent him a message about that.

For the next step, I guess it's gonna be "donate !" (then wait...)

At the moment, I don't have any donation info (paypal account, etc ...). So I'm waiting for Angdroid to give us these informations.
[Milestone 2 General] :
Hi Guys,

Been busy...I do not need to know anyone is getting me a M2 to work on ROM. Having device makes it much easier to make ROM with. Saves lots of time and can make small changes without hearing back from testers. I tried with the Droid Pro, it is difficult and the ROM is still not done yet.

I dont want to mention donations or anything like that cause it always causes some problems with XDA or others saying stuff. If I was able to get a device to make ROM I would. I appreciate all the interests in having Fission ported to the M2 and would love too port it.

If anyone is interested in trading a Droid2 Global for M2 then that would be cool or maybe even trade for a week or two so I can start the M2 ROM. That would be the quickest way for me to get a M2. I do not have the spare funds to get it myself knowing I may get back in donations...I looked around and they are %550- $600 on ebay
[Milestone 2 General] 3-S-E:
I would donate 5$. Is not that much, but I'm a poor student and my budget is limited! ;)

Anyway... if everybody donates 5$ Angdroid could maybe buy a second hand MS2 at ebay, or something? Don't know the US-prices.
[Milestone 2 General] Phanes:
Fellas, whats going on? Do we have a deal on this laboratory MS2 or what?
[Milestone 2 General] smacky_wolf:
I've got a MS2, and a little experience with winmo dev/linux in general. If I can help at all, please let me know. I feel like I could.
[Milestone 2 General] gorcutt:
If this can cause a problem to you, let's change the words. We are talking about support for something that will benefit the M2 community. I think I already have it but let people know your PP reference so we can “support” you with this.
[Milestone 2 General] gorcutt:
I see you have the necessary info on your posts signature so guys, move on. Let's "support" the man!
[Milestone 2 General] chibani:
Ok let's go.

But it would be great to know when to stop ^^
[Milestone 2 General] 3-S-E:
Yeah, it would be nice to know if and when we have reached the goal!

Nevertheless I'll donate 5 Euro to Angdroid (that's even more then 5$ *g). I hope this is no wasted money...

Edit: Donation done!
[Milestone 2 General] 3-S-E:
I've just announced this support-action at the German Android-Hilfe forum:

http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-hacking-modding-fuer-motorola-milestone-2/70248-fission-rom-port-wie-ihr-dazu-beitragen-koennt.html
[Milestone 2 General] chibani:
Donation done ;)
[Milestone 2 General] axes90:
Donation done, though there was something about "asylum7"... but I guess it's ur paypal account since its in ur signature xDD
[Milestone 2 General] jambo89liam:
Id love to help. I've had my ms2 for a few months now and already getting bored of it. Has anyone tried a droid 2 rom on their ms2?

Sent from my MotoA953
[Milestone 2 General] 3-S-E:
I hope not! ;) Because of the different chipset you're lucky if you have not bricked your Milestone 2 with that droid 2 rom for good and can access the bootmenu for a reflash!
[Milestone 2 General] loups:
Donated 10$ for Milestone2-development.

I do not have the phone yet, but will probably buy it if any rom development starts. The phone itself looks awesome.

Edit: Forgot to write comment that it was for MS2. PM me if you want confirmation.
[Milestone 2 General] savagecabage:
so where do we donate then? sorry i havnt been following this :p
[Milestone 2 General] 3-S-E:
Look at Angdroid's signature! There you'll finde a link to his paypal-donation form.
[Milestone 2 General] Bigdaddy168:
I'm not sure, if it is even possible to port this rom to the ms2. I don't think that Angdroid is the only one, who could build a rom for the ms2. Why isn't any custom rom out yet? Maybe it can be built, but it can't be launched...
[Milestone 2 General] mistermr:
Because there is zero development going on for the phone. Angdroid would be the first to begin it. Also learn to use your commas a little more sparingly, makes for a terribly awkward read.
[Milestone 2 General] TomaszD84:
I've just donated 10 bucks. Just shows how much I don't like blur...
