Does it work for Milestone 2?

I'm wondering if it would work for Milestone 2, since Doid Global has GSM support too.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] rusty815:
Well, I don't know if the d2g has the same radio as the droid pro, but the radio in the droid pro supports 4g speeds, so maybe the d2g too?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] xjustmex21:
Any one else get soft reboots when unlocking from time to time?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
You mean the Fission rom I assume....Not this particular version of Fission. Not that they couldn't support that device in the future if they had Milestone to use as a development unit.

Like I said there are a lot of driver issues involved in these roms. The roms are not like a release of Linux that has generic drivers in the Kernel for standard hardware.

Because of the need for efficient memory usage only the drivers for that particular hardware are included. So you need to really see something that says SUPPORTS your phone before you should even think about flashing it!

If you don't your on the short path to brickdom!

There are quite a few Roms available for the Milestone here....

where can i get koush's bootstrap from? checked the their website and the market but the link was broken and its no longer in the market

I get them completely random. I revert to stock and now I got them about 2 every 10 minutes :S

I'm trying to get the overall size of the d2g's fonts smaller.

Under spare parts there is an option called "font size." However, when I select an option, it doesn't stick outside of the Spare Parts menu. Anyone else encountering this?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
Did you try in the generic Android Development forum?

Never had that problem with Fission. Did you add something to the Lockscreen like Widgetlock?

If it is still happening on stock then could be a bad unit.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] rusty815:
I used to, after using the sbf file and then reinstalling fission, I don't get then anymore, make sure that you wipe data and cache, maybe even delvik cache too after reinstalling fission
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
Mine reboots on occasion, but I've changed themes like 5 times, and done other stuff that has probably not helped the cause. I'll do a wipe cache/data when(if) the new ROM is ever released.

Hi, I am new user of Droid 2 Global. I bought my phone from ebay about 1 month ago and has unlock by the seller already. Do I need unlock again if I flash unoffical rom ?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] leobg:
No, phone will remain unlocked. Flashing will not relock it. Even flashing full sbf will not relock the phone.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] kc_wen_frank:
OK, noted. Thanks for the useful information. Btw, Does that mean the D2G has unlock forever ??

My phone works great as it is now. If you are unable to operate yours, there are other, more simple phones available.

I concur...Love my Droid 2 Global and it loves me.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] twistmac:
I apologize in advance if this is the wrong place to post this, but I am using Fission so I'm not sure if that's part of the problem or not. Anyway, I went to grab my phone the other day and noticed a bit of static electricity and I think I might have shocked my phone a bit. The screen is slightly less responsive and the onscreen keyboard (the non physical one) seems to type the wrong thing when I try using it. Also, other random thing seem to not respond to my touch, but not everything. It's not the end of the world since I have the physical keyboard which I can get around with pretty well, but still it'd be nice to have it all working. It seems like it just needs to be calibrated, if that's possible. Do you think wiping everything and reflashing the rom would help? I thought about trying the sbf but it seemed kind of complicated since I'm on a Mac (I do have xp setup in vmware). Anyway if anyone has an idea let me know. Thanks.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
Might want to try taking the battery out of it for a bit, and then putting it back in.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] sangamc:
I've tried all the different themes in the rom manager but can not find the cool backgrounds in the original post. Is there somewhere I can download them?

Also id like to get the original google search widget back but can't find it in the rom manager either, is there a different way I can get it?

Thanks all
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] KHancock321:
King Waffle's right.

If you remove all sources of electricity it de-magnetizes the phone.

That's why if you're having a problem with your computer they recommend that you turn it off and un-plug it first. Which, generally works. Haha.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] rusty815:
great news from the team defuse site, angdroid just posted his first message in a week, said he was on a hiatus and is now back and will be posting the d2g rom along with other things real soon.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] p0intman:
I hope he not playing with our emotions because the Get~R~Done Team has made great advancements in porting over a D2 Rom to the Global
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
I'll believe it when I see it.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] gifferjesus:
What we need is several different roms so we can swap around and feel them out at will while we wait for each to update.

We'll see where the porting effort goes.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] botnryan:
The porting thing is pretty awesome. im using the d2 fission rom (5.7 or whatever), its nice to be able to change themes around but im missing my sensors working...alot.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] cccthestyle:
yeah, more roms plz. why does the D2G not have as many roms as the D2?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] gifferjesus:
Because most devs aren't going to buy one of each D2. I'd love to see liberty, but I'm doubtful they're willing to try.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] derhannes1983:
Hello!

I flashed this ROM via the Fission ROM Manager. I had the original ROM before that and had it rooted, Bootstrap manager installed and ready.

After downloading the ROM, I selected wiping in the manager and rebootet the device. Now, I am stuck at the Android logo, it says to touch the Android to set up the device, then it shows the Android logo again and so on and on.

Where is the mistake?

EDIT:

In the meantime, I had to flash the device with the original sbf file from Motorola cause the idiot called derhannes1983 deleted the backup of the original firmware on the SD card... :rolleyes:

After trying to flash the device on an Win 7 64bit computer twice, failing, trying again and failing again I used a Vista 32bit machine and it worked.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
You should beat derhannes with a stick! LOL

Next time try running RSDLite in compatability mode....

Right click on the icon, select properties, Click on run this program as an administrator and run this program in compatability mode Windows XP SP3.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] John Yester:
Any update to this ROM?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
Yesterday I noticed I hadn't received a text message all day and rebooted my phone, I then got about 11 all at once. This is the second time I've had this happen. With this ROM.

I got annoyed and spent the evening reflashing the stock firmware.

I'll try fission again if/when he updates it.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] KHancock321:
Mutual.

I missed a meeting because of this.

I haven't had it happen again,

But if it does...

Fission is gone and I'll just start ****ing around making my own ROM.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] davezaff:
Welcome back to the I hate stock but it's not as buggy and sick of waiting and trolling after these ghost updates. I got a Tweet from UD, they are gonna start trying to get a global build going and that ROM is sick. Oh well, going to school for this so soon I will build one myself. But don't worry I won't announce anything until it's ready;)
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] alex695:
Mine started to get really laggy two days ago. Almost unuseable.

Made a recovery file and restored it. 5 Mins later all was right in the world.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] KHancock321:
Anyone having home button problems?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] jupiterssj4:
I made a backup before I installed Fission (it was suggested as part of the install). I too would like to go back to stock (just missed an entire night of email even with Touchdown and can't have that). Does the backup that I made allow this or is the SBF still needed? Could someone please write full instructions to restore the stock rom? Thank you in advance!
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] KHancock321:
Did you try just shutting it off and pulling the battery out?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] davezaff:
a google search would of solved your problem but here ya go.

[Droid 2 Global Android Development] jupiterssj4:
Hello Davezaff, if you were referring to me, I did find this post about the SBF and have downloaded but not gone through all the steps yet...

I was just wondering what the purpose of backing up the entire device was when installing Fission if you can't restore with just that...
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] davezaff:
Hello, The back up would go in the clockwork folder on your SD card. It would restore everything that you backed up.

Just go into reboot recovery and wipe data and cache and update.zip from the backup under clockwork folder created when you backed up.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] twistmac:
Unfortunately that didn't work. Hopefully the next update fixes things.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] leobg:
You will be fine with the nandroid you made. But SBF will give you 100% fresh start.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
Can someone post the exact method of how to start over fresh? I've been flashing my phone like crazy lately and I don't know the exact method to use those SBF files.

Are you supposed to wipe data/cache before or after or does it not matter at all?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] davezaff:
download the SBF and place it on your desktop. Download RSD lite 4.9 and open. Also don't forget to install the correct driver as well.(Should be in the RSD folder.) Turn phone off and place in bootloader. (both volume keys and power button.) Plug it in to PC select the SBF from desktop hit show device.....start...wait....done. Sometimes you will need to do a hard reset as soon as it's done or it will bootloop but a hard reset and good as new. If you run into problems such as trying to use window 7 64x , it is a little trickier.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
So no need to clear cache or anything like that? I guess the stock ROM just runs a lot ****tier than I thought. I just reinstlaled Fission, I guess I'll just remember to reboot my phone every 12 hours or so, so I don't miss out on texts.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] davezaff:
No the SBF wipes everything. No need to wipe.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] twistmac:
Not to be lame and a pain, but how would I do this on my Mac? I have VMWare Fusion and it recognizes my phone when I have it in bootloader and I think I have the right drivers that I got off the Motorolla site, but when I load up RSDLite it doesn't seem to recognize the phone. I think in order to get that problem fixed with my screen not responding I need to talk to Verizon, but I don't really want to take it in if it's rooted so I guess a sbf is in order. Thanks
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
King did you bother to reprogram the phone after flashing?

You should do a *228 after any rom flash thats usually where TXT problems get solved.

I have no such txt issues running Fission on my D2G but if you zapped it with a static charge it is possible you fried something in the unit.

Do you have USB Debug turned on?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] :
I got my phone Dec 28th and had fission on it on the 30th or so.

I ran it from then until Monday or Tuesday of this week. I had it "stop receiving texts" on me twice: once on New Years (for about 18 hours), and then on Monday (for about 12 hours).

Power-cycling the device allowed me to receive them all again.

When I try *22891 in Fission, it says "Please wait while your phone is being programed" and then it says its unavailable and to try again later.

So what I'm getting at is: I doubt it needs programmed, but even when I try and do it, it doesn't work.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
Just *228, you don't need to hit anything after that the phone will immediatly go into program mode, ignore the recording asking you to hit 1 or 2

It sounds a lot like your phone thinks it is roaming and is trying not to use data when it is in that state.

So try *228 and just leave it. the phone should reboot when it is done and my guess is your txt issues should be gone.

I can confirm I have no issues with TXT whatsoever!
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] davezaff:
You don't need to dial *228 if you are on stock and flash to fission. But you do need to if the process is reversed however I don't see how dialing *228 has anything to do with the phone running sluggish. Doesn't make any sense.....sorry
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
His problem isn't sluggishness, it is delayed TXT which usually is a sign that your PRL and server configs for txt messaging is not correct.

Reprogramming fixes the PRL and also fixes all sorts of data issues when using a rom other than stock.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] davezaff:
I am aware what programming does but I have been back and forth from fission and used the sbf numberous times. Never needed to reprogram in fission. It may be a network thing and does not pertain to the rom at all.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
It is usually a regional thing. And almost always related to updates and software updates to the towers.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] rusty815:
Its been six days since and posted that something should be going up this week, either were getting something great, like I hope, or he's going to be taking a little longer than expected again, no worries, im just waiting to see what the new rom brings to the table, im running stock right now, I actually love some of the motoblur widgets and alps.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
Well if you want to see what features will be added just look at the features of the D2 version.

All Ang was actually promising was to bring the D2G up to same current version of Fission already out for D2 and Others.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] KHancock321:
Wow. Dev. Fail.

Can we get an update on the update update?

Pretty please.

Like the ROM... just don't like false promises...
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] cccthestyle:
where can we throw in suggestions for the next release?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] rusty815:
you can try going to the team defuse website and leaving a comment, or if you donated you can email Ang with what you would like to see in the next release.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
That request went out through twitter so my guess is that is where you would respond to it.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] KHancock321:
Your suggestion should be to release it.

Only one of them (Angdroid) actually knows anything about the D2G. The rest are all working on the D2. Angdroid is trying to take that D2 stuff and make it work on the D2G.

He is a one man band here!

So all those names only one really has a clue as to how to get a ROM working on the D2G and providing updates.

This is something I think is lost on the community at large.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Backdraft11:
Sorry I'm a nub at this D2G ROM thing (but I've done Milestone ROM before).

I was wondering if I flash this ROM, and something unforseen happens and/or I need to go back to stop, is it possible/what are the instructions to go back to stock 2.2 Android? I've read something about sbf file, where can I get that?

Thanks.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] -Gilgamesh-:
All you'd need to do is SBF back to stock. You can find a link to a set of instructions below. Really easy process. Ya may want to be able to get access to a comp running Win XP as a backup. Some people have issues doing it on pretty much anything else, and some don't. Very hit or miss. I have no issue doing it on my Win 7, however I've helped ALLOT of people that couldn't get it to work.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=770224
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] JorgeNava:
you can also use Koush bootstrap to install clockwork recovery and do a nandroid backup as well of your stock 2.2, must faster and less hassle than SBF, seeing as you wouldnt need a comp. But still learn about the SBF method, thats your last resort to restore your phone to complete stock if you cant boot into recovery and use nandroid.

Edit: also make sure you have the latest motorola drivers installed BEFORE you SBF, I made that mistake and freaked when the SBF kept on failing hahaha
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Backdraft11:
Alright I've read a fair bit about this ROM (both on Team Defuse and DarkOnion's guides), I have a question though about Fission ROM Manager (which seems to be most convenient way), Lite version. Does FRM Lite provide automatic ROM updates (at least major ones) like FRM Donate, or do I have to get FRM Donate in order to get automatic ROM updates to the phone (either major or minor releases)? Actually I'd like a general overview of the features/addons of FRM Donate vs FRM Lite, the description on the Team Defuse site is sort of lacking.

Thank you.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
No it won't automatically update but any new version should show up in the FRM and you can install it from there.

The Lite version will probably always be a release behind the donate version.

If I'm not mistaken the people who donated will get first crack at new releases which usually translates to you have to donate to get the latest version but once a new one comes out the last update is made available to the Lite users

Since there has not been a new release in this project since it started it is hard to say exactly how that is going to work.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Backdraft11:
Oh sorry that's exactly what I meant about auto-update, sorry for confusion. As long as it shows up in FRM (instead of having to constantly monitor something online) that's good enough for me.

Thank you, I will try out this ROM.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] randytheshiv:

[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
Would you rather they released something that didn't work just so you would have a more recent date to look at?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] randytheshiv:
I'd rather some sort of acknowledgement. Releases with bug fixes would be a plus. Features would be fantastic. But no mention of my phone? That's stupid.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Asphyx:
What bug and what feature in particular you talking about?

I haven't really found even one thing that doesn't work correctly on Fission.

And if there is anything that doesn't it is usually because of the STock Moto used as a base!

Not the Fission work itself.
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] commander-flatus:
The joke is not the last release date, the joke is that an update was promised weeks/months ago and never delivered. Not that they're not cranking out releases.
