Just waiting on new update. Someone says ud and cvcps our working on asop roms for us. Not that id switch from this as I love the quickest but its nice to see options. Bootloaders can't hold back great devs like defuse.

I know it sounds like whining, but angry birds won't install on my phone after installing fission with a data/cache wipe...
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] EDroidZ:
I can't seem to find the download link for this? Where did I miss it at?? I went to there website and still no luck. HELP?!?!

Thanks in advance.

help!

tried rooting my phone, when it boots up its stuck on fc loop with voice commands, I cannot access anything on my phone. Please help me fix this
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
How did you try rooting your phone ?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] imaudi5000:
im with edroidz, i see the instructions and stuff but no download link for the D2G rom. it still says "coming soon"

is the D2G rom in the lite version of the FRM?

also, is there a list of the full features and apps that come with this rom? like what is different than stock, besides the bloatware? i thought i read that the voice commands for texting and searching arent in the rom...?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] TwoBuells:
open Fission ROM manager and list downloads you'll see the list of downloads
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] botnryan:
sounds like you need to get a newer version of FRM to me.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] rusty815:
Any update as to when we might bet a newer version of fission? Its been a long time since we've gotten an update, is the project stilll active?

sim card not working

I am using an unlocked D2G on a non-US sim card. The dialing feature works fine with stock ROM. I was able to install Fission rom (2.4.3) and sim card hot fix via FRM, but for some reason, I can't make phone calls using the Fission rom. Is anyone else having the same problem or did i miss something? Any kind of help would be appreciated.

I really wished the GSM dialling would work on the Fission rom because it's so much better than the stock rom.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] papi92:
It isn't dead. The d2g doesn't have the same framework or even close to the same framework as d2. It takes a long time to port.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] shaddix2:
this a dead end phone for roms but has the best hardware on vzw atm....... When thunderbolt comes out though I am just gonna buy it outright and sell my d2g
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] davezaff:
"Dead End Phone"??

The phone was released two months ago. Development does take awhile to get going but give it time and alot more will come. Angdroid has been awesome enough to make the only Rom for the D2G and alot of time goes into it. He himself said 2.5.7 will be coming soon for global. And FYI the thunderbolt will have a locked bootloader as well so good luck.

One more thing.....nobody cares what phone you want. This thread is for Q and A for the fission rom.

How do I get back to the stock fisson theme without re-installing it? I tried the black and gingerbread themes but not a big fan...
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] bogatyr:
Has anyone been able to get the VPNClient.apk from the stock rom to work on the Fission rom? The missing VPN is one of two things stopping me from using Fission. When I try to install the APK it just says something like Application not installed.

Also any news on the ATT SIM cards? I saw they posted showing it working... but then never posted anything else.

I donated to the cause hoping for some of these fixes but the lack of any updates - even just words saying that they're working on it - is really irritating.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] bogatyr:
Actually I was able to get my VPN to work. Here are the steps I used:

Install VPN Connections from: http://code.google.com/p/get-a-robot-vpnc/

Download the tun_alt.ko file to the phone/sdcard: http://www.saturnwiki.net/droid_tun_driver/2.6.32.9/tun_alt.ko

(the built in browser wouldn't download it so I did that on my desktop, the built in one only showed the contents of the file)

Start the terminal emulator and use these commands:

su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
cp /sdcard/tun_alt.ko /system/lib/modules/tun.ko
mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko

Now I haven't tried rebooting yet, but from what I read you need to use the last command every reboot:

su
insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko

This lets me connect to our Cisco IPSEC devices at work. :)
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] droidfanatic:
Do this give you an option to enter user and passcode using a secureID token?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] leobg:
You need to copy it to /system/app and it will work fine. It is a bit ***** to configure given the scarce documentation but once configured works nicely.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] leobg:
Bogatyr, thanks for the info about the working tun module. Does vpnc still require manual adjustment of MTU to have some apps like RDP passing traffic? I hated this while I was using it on my old Milestone.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] shaddix2:
It's been a month since an update for fission for the d2g. Nobody gives a **** about this phone, have you seen the other forums? There's new roms every other day and updates for the existing roms just as fast on the galaxy s forums. The evo shift came out on the 9th and there's already like 9 threads on that forum when here it's just the three, one of which was started yesterday.

Even with the locked bootloader on the TB at least there will be more than a single, rarely-updated rom for that device. Hell it already has more threads in the development forum than the D2G.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] davezaff:
OK so sell it and use those other threads. Have a good one.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] papi92:
I love how people talk and then are all happy when u get a release. I can understand why we may only get 1/4 of the releases. This phone isn't popular. It is a hard to port roms as the framework is different. You need to work it into the different processor. Oh and the bootloader is locked. It will take awhile. Just delete stuff you don't like.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] rusty815:
Dude, I don't see what your problem is. If you bought a phone for the development being put into it then you shouldn't be getting a phone at all, at least not a smart phone.

Back on subject, anyone notice a considerable amount of lag with live wallpapers in fission as opposed to the stock rom? I'm on the stock rom right now and when I have a live wallpaper, I don't notice much lag at all, when I ran the same wallpaper on fission the interface got really laggy, even when overclocked.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] shaddix2:
My apologies to everyone, just frustrated with vzw's current phone selection. Don't mind me making an ass of myself.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] davezaff:
All good.....We all get frustrated with the lack of updates and builds but patience Grasshopper. They will come:]
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] bogatyr:
Im not sure, I've only used it for SSH with ConnectBot on our routers, switches and servers. Is there a good RDP client? I'll.be happy to try it and let you know.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] bogatyr:
Not sure, I didn't see any place for secureID tokens.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Knirfie:
Camera app not functioning here with 2.4.3, there is definetly nothing wrong with the camera because it works in barcode scanner and camcorder.

Have tried starting camera app in three ways, all with the same results, black screen for half a second and return to home screen:

1 - push the camera button

2 - select the app in the app tray

3 - start camcorder through app tray and press "switch to"

I have tried reinstalling "2.4.3 upgrade install" through FRM 1.2.4 but this didn't help.

Is there a known bug with the camera app? Should I try a clean install? And is there a new ROM coming (dont want to do a clean install twice in a week)?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] rusty815:
Try installing the moto multimedia pack
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Knirfie:
Problem's still there, trying AOSP multimedia package now.

edit: AOSP fixed it.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
Might want to make sure the camcorder works as well. From my experience, the camcorder would crash when I toggled it on in the AOSP app.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Knirfie:
You're right.

Guess I'll be doing a clean install this weekend...

Has anyone been able to get Orbot to work on Fission?

It connects just fine but nothing I do goes through Orbot, even when I change the settings to force everything through it.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] karthikmurs:
Woow! Fission 2.5.5 beta? Awesomeee! Any ETA on that? Looks amazing...

mobile network

hello all,

i have rooted droid2 with clockworkmod recovery and i have question.

Earlier i instaled apex 1.3.1 rom for droid 2 but that rom works only in verizon network, and have question - this rom works in other mobile networks than verizon?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] leobg:
I think you are mistaking droid 2 global (discussed in this section) with regular droid 2.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] rusty815:
I read over on the droid 2 forums that 2.6 was just released, any update for us d2g owners?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] FastCR:
I've been wondering the same. Reading the changelog it looks like there are bugfixes for most of the issues I have.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
Best place to get updates is his twitter:

http://twitter.com/angdroid

Looks like he's waiting on bug reports from the latest build and then he'll push out the other varieties.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
Ok just flashed My first D2G rom with FRM.

Rom seems very snappy and responsive.

I only have one issue that I can't seem to get my head around. Saw some posts in here about getting Facebook to sync contacts but could not seem to follow it.

Is it possible to add accounts to the phone?

Currently I have GMail sync which is fine but I also want to get my LinkedIn and Facebook contacts in there.

And I guess they were considered part of the BLUR which is why they aren't there.

Is there anyway to get them back? Download? Setting?

EDIT: I figured out what I missed in the previous posts about syncing facebook. I had the wrong FB app and that is solved, But I would still love to see some way built into the accounts system to add things like LinkedIn and maybe even Yahoo and Hotmail. But I will try asking Team Defuse directly!
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
Just install the Facebook app and it'll ask you if you want to sync your contacts. Tell it yes, and then go into the Facebook App and go to "Friends" and casually browse around.

It'll eventually start downloading pictures for everyone for your contact list.

At least, that's what I had to do to get it working.

Edit: Ah man, you beat me to the punch.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
LOL Thanks anyway. Unfortunatly LinkedIn doesn't have an APP in the market. DroidIn is there but it does not add the account.

You would think Google would have thought of some way to add accounts into the OS. My Guess is Moto added them to the Blur and Fission is using a stock.

I wonder if they can't be ripped out of the Blur and added.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Hann1bal:
Since I don't use facebook that often I never had a use for the app...until now. I'll definitely download it so I can sync peoples profile pics to my contacts.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
Keep in mind that it will only add them if the First/Last name match.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Hann1bal:
Right, I just noticed that some of the pictures were not syncing up. You basically just read and then subsequently blew my mind.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
True but if there are any differences it will make a seperate entry in contacts that you can then link in the phonebook to the proper corresponding Contact.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
It doesn't let me link them. It did with blur, but not with this rom
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
It's there but there is another step.

In the Fission contact app you have to go into menu/edit contact first then hit menu again and a JOIN Icon will be displayed in the bottom right.

Took me a while to figure that out too.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] holleyt:
Someone Help?

Hi! My first time switching roms, so please bear with me, and PLEASE PLEASE help!

Someone told me they were using Gummy on their D2G (and I HATE blur), so I thought I'd try it (used clockwork manager app) and it worked, except of course, that they were not using a D2G, but a D2, and the rom worked fine, except the cellular radios (stuck in airplane mode.) I used clockwork to backup, but the file is not there. No idea what happened. So reading about Fission, I downloaded FRM and it apparently detected my phone as a regular D2, and I cannot see the D2G roms available from it. Tried 2.5.7 anyway, and same thing... no radios, can't see D2G roms from FRM. So I found the 2.4.3 global .zip online (in three different locations) and tried those. All three will not boot, stopping on the Moto logo screen. As far as the instructions go, I think I'm doing everything right (clearing the cache, user data, battery stats, etc). I can pull the battery and get back into clockwork bootloader, and I can get back to 2.5.7 and Gummy if I want, but still no radios of course.

Any ideas? Is there something I'm missing?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] davezaff:
Download rsd lite and the spf file from....well google it.....it'll bring your phone back to stock firmware......and I suggest more research in your future flashing.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
Well this is why you have to be careful about what ROM you flash. They are very much device specific and the Droid Radio is not compatible with the Dual Band Droid2 Global.

You best bet at this point is flashing the d2g.sbf file with RSDLite or perhaps it can be done via recovery. I'm not all too up on the SBF flashing as I haven't needed it yet.

But that should put your unit back to stock. Make sure the sbf you use is the FULL version as I believe the full version has all the radio stuff in it and the Lite is merely the OS.

But I could be completely off on that so check the Manuel before you get yourself into any more hot soup.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
According to AngDroids twitter, the D2G build will be ready to go sometime this weekend.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] rusty815:
Glad to hear that the d2g is getting some love after a month of no activity. In the mean time I've been going between stock and fission because I can't decide which I like more, I actually like the stock rom (with root and bloat removed of course), but I've fallen in love with fission again, I can't wait to see what the update brings us
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] davezaff:
I saw that....can't freaking wait.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] holleyt:
That worked! Just tried Fission again after flashing with SBF and was able to access the D2G roms from FRM and just successfully booted. So excited that it work! :D

"Enhanced Security"

My company picked up the DROID 2 Global because of its Enhanced Security Features. Specifically the Remote Wipe for SD Card and encryption features.

I installed the Fission Rom and could not connect to my Exchange Server. As soon as I reverted back to stock, it connected right away. I would really love to be able to run the Fission ROM. Does the Fission ROM have all the same enhanced security as the stock ROM? Something must be different.

Why do you think it didn't work?

Thanks in advance.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
If I am not mistaken there is a patch for Exchange service in FRM.

Right under the SIM Unlock patch.

Download and install that and your exchange should work after that.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] davezaff:
Also make sure all the domain and server fields are filled in correctly. Some exchange you won't need to touch domain.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] f150intally:
Reloaded and installed the email patch still to no avail. It is not letting me get past the initial screen where you enter your email address and password. It tells me that either my username or password is incorrect. Reloaded back to my stock rom and bingo, bango, bongo.

Thanks for the reply... it never lets me enter Domain, Server, etc. Just the email address and password.

Any other suggestions?

TIA,

-Jay
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] davezaff:
? works fine on my .edu exchange.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] f150intally:
it works fine for my client email address but that is a 2003 Exchange Server. My firm just upgraded to Exchange Server 2010 and I think that has something to do with it. It broke my Blackberry's BIS access as well.

Let me know if anyone comes up with something.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] davezaff:
under server try: webmail.Company name.

com (net. edu. .org)

also in fission when setting up new account, it changes the user name and put a (/) in front of user name. I then input my correct user name and password and walla :) Hope it helps
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] f150intally:
The only two options I get are email address and password. It never asks me for server name or domain. When I type the email address and password is tells me the user name or password is invalid. is there something you do after you click the add account to get the full screen with server, domain, user, etc?

Do I click on the menu button or something? I'm trying again....fingers are crossed.

UPDATE: I went through the manual setup and it allowed me to enter all of the fields! Thanks so much it works!
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] davezaff:
Once you put in a username and password and it doesn't connect, it comes back to login screen input your User ID and password in again....Usually Case sensative. and scroll down it should say server name there.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] f150intally:
I got it! Went through the email app and it gave me a manual configuration option instead of going directly to accounts.

Thanks for all the help. Server name, domain, everything is fine and it is working great right now.

Awesome!
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] rusty815:
Angdroid just tweeted that a new rom for the d2g and Dx should be going up either late night today or morning tomorrow, he's fixing his servers.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] KHancock321:
Couldn't we just flash the radio then?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] davezaff:
no.....doesn't work like that.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] KHancock321:
How does it work?

Lol.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
Well you basically flashed the rom of a completely different phone that has none of the drivers needed to use any of the hardware. Kind of like flashing a CDMA TouchPro rom on a Fuze.

And if you don't understand what you did you really shouldn't be messing with your phone and rom flashes at all.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
Welp, he tweeted this morning and said the ROMS would be up. It's been 13 hours...
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] KHancock321:
So... glad the new ROM's up...
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] droidfanatic:
I don't see it in the frm....where's the new one?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] gifferjesus:
"@MentalChaos lol...no. between server issues and engagement ran out of free time. Next couple of days 33 minutes ago via Twitter for Android in reply to MentalChaos"
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
This is a bit ridiculous.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
Not really since Angdroid appears to be a one man band here.

Most ROMs are made by one individual and do everything themselves. The guy has a life too remember so It's not unusual to run into some issue and then run out of time.

Better to let him take his time and do it up right than to rush it and then have something screwup and have everyone around holding bricks in their hand.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] gifferjesus:
The ROM is done. Getting it up on servers is the problem.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
I agree, but it was supposed to be up Friday, and then Saturday, and now it's Sunday...
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] gifferjesus:
Wish Liberty did D2G. I'd try it while waiting.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] droidfanatic:
What are really the benefits of the next ver? 2.4.3 is fantastic alreadu
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] gifferjesus:
If I had the changelog I'd tell you, but that's included in the ROM. Droid 2 Normal owners might be able to tell you. I did notice a rotary lock slide though.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] f150intally:
The members here are the most disrespectful impatient people. This guy owes no one anything! He does this in his spare time. Get a life people and calm down. It will be up when its up!
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
While I partially agree, I donated to him. It's one thing to take your time to get a ROM finished, but it's another entirely to say "Hey, it'll be up tonight." and then not deliver.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] rusty815:
Yeah, if he accepts donations, then its not exactly free. But I agree with you, xda is full of impatient people. I hope the next version offers great improvements, I know there's supposed to be a few speed improvements.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] KHancock321:
Exactly. Agreed. If I was a non-donate user, I could understand not being irritated. Considering I'm the type of person that will donate every update, provided there's a reason(Something in the changelog that's good).

Also,

Can we make this thing 4G compatible?

Haha.

Has anyone had any issues using the contact link and unlink with 2.4 or 2.5 Fission. The option seems to be missing.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] jupiterssj4:
If I get a phone call, and hold-click the number and then add to TouchDown contacts, I type in the name and then click Save it does not save the contact. It does work doing this on my boss's Droid 2 Global with the motorola stock OS, not the Fission.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
it is there! It's just not in the view menu you have to go to edit the contact hit menu again and then you will see a JOIN option.

As for the delay, Guys you have to be patient as angdroid is one guy who seems to be doing everything, not just the development but the server maintenance as well!

There are only so many hours in a day and sometimes events happen that wastes the little free time they have!
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] rusty815:
Im sure im not the only one waiting patiently, I would just like to see a changelog for the d2g version of the new rom, just to know what to expect ;)
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] KHancock321:
I wasn't certain if it was just different band frequencies. I was thinking that quite possibly, if it was, considering it's meant to be used on towers in other countries, it might have a wider band range.
