I think people who recently got their D2 don't know that for some of us who have had for a while (since september '10) haven't had root for the entire time and we didn't have customs ROMs. We didn't even know we would be able to get root or ROMs.

Then a fine fellow found us a backdoor to get root and then koush's bootstrap for the one ROM for the D2 besides stock was Epic by Matt4542 (thanks) it was buggy but it was a start now we have awesome ROMs like Fission and Liberty that I'm proud to have and see available for this phone because I know what stock is like and the transitions us D2 owners have taken to get this far. It took us many months to get where we are with development and even though it's a locked bootloader device it's a pretty sweet one and it has some ROMs with awesome features.

I admit I'd love to see CyanogenMod on the D2 but it's not likely unless the bootloader is opened. So if a locked bootloader is a problem get some minds together and find a way to blast through the thing. I'm sure you'll get donations a plenty and many thanks, but until then I'm content with my awesome device running software no one thought we'd be able to have.

Peace.

So I have an Eris and my wife has a D2. She basically got jealous of me flashing ROM's all the time and wanted to root her D2 as well. After helping her, I can definitely relate to mordant's opinion on the D2.

It may be that the Eris has been out longer than the D2 and has more of a following. It may have been the Eris's unique beginning that drove dev's to enable a better functioning phone. The Eris had a rocky start in it's stock form. When the Dev's made flashing ROM's an easier task, it was a great day for Eris users as we didn't have to stick with our underperforming 2.1 leak. However, it took a few dev's pulling together to get things ironed out. I still remember them celebrating as they came closer to rooting 2.1 leak, a rather daunting process initially for me. Then it wasn't too much later after root was achieved that 1 click root for the eris came about, which is when I jumped on.

It may be just a matter of time before the D2 dev's jump that locked bootloader hurdle. I'm new to the D2, but so far it has been a PITA. I wish there was a Roll-up thread for the D2 like there is under the Eris's development sub-forum. I practically lived on that roll-up thread during my first rooting/flashing adventures. For the D2 It seems like information is all over the place.

This has to be my 1st post on XDA, I usually lurk. I get the information I need and apply it. I have been spoiled by eris development. But it looks like I'll be visiting the D2 threads more often for my wife. I can see there have already been great strides with the D2 development i.e. koush's bootstrap, fission, liberty,... I look forward to what's next for D2 dev.

Yes, we do need a functioning phone. But what's the point of Android without development. Let's see what it can do, try a bunch of things just because we can. If you only care about having a functional phone, there are plenty of feature phones available. I surmise, however, that most people go Android to unlock the possibilities.
[Droid 2 General] techobsessive:
I have an incredible, and yeah all the ROMS are nice. But you get ROMS, what you don't get are custom kernels. I'm looking to trade for a droud2 because I want a keyboard and a GPU that doesn't suck. I'm running gingerbread, and ill miss that if I get a d2, but ill live. Eventually some one might come out with cyanogenmod for the d2 that doesn't run on a custom kernel. And there's still work being done. They just need some one to develop opensourced drivers. But really, by looking at the quality of ROMs that you have, you're not missing out.
[Droid 2 General] nightken:
Can any guy share the real difference between Droid 2 and X...

Which one would be better for travel on abroad?
[Droid 2 General] phrozen87:
There are really only a few small differences. Droid 2 has a keyboard, smaller screen and a 5mp camera. Droid X has a 4.3" screen, 8mp camera (w/ 720p recording) and HDMI out (though the usages of this are limited). All in all the real difference between then can be boiled down to the simple fact that the D2 is smaller with a keyboard and the DX is larger without one. As far as internals, hardware, etc (ram, internal memory, all that stuff) they are really nearly identical for all practical purposes. Since I figure someone will point out that I don't know what I am talking about the processors are a little different in that one can record 720p (DX) and the other can't (D2). That said in terms of usability and video playback the performance is identical so unless you are someone who is constantly recording 720p video you can ignore this last fact altogether.

---------------------------------

To just throw my 2 cents on this topic, the D2 was my first smartphone as well. I ordered mine the first day or preorders. Personally I just wanted the keyboard over the touchscreen and because of the amount of emulators I enjoy playing and simply for typing without looking I am extremely glad I bought this phone. I was really worried in the beginning about the locked bootloader but it no longer really bothers me.

The first thing I wanted was root, and after a few weeks we got root. Then I wanted a custom rom and Fission showed up in the beginning. Later on I changed over to Liberty and have been using it since December. I am not opposed to rom hopping and honestly somewhat enjoy it, but I am pretty happy being on this custom rom for the time being. The last thing I wanted was overclock and we got that as well. I have been able to theme and mod the heck out of apps and other parts and aside from a few things I have seen in a handful of roms I am happy with the D2.

I love the keyboard as I said before and on verizon it is still the only phone with one. I had some buyers remorse when the D2G came out, but after we got overclocking I didn't care anymore as it seems the D2 battery life is better anyway and running at 1.2GHz I rarely top 92F degrees, can't beat that. The phone is smooth fast and runs anything I throw at it. Now I kinda have a bit of remorse when it comes to my anticipation of the Tegra 2 capabilities, but those phones are an entire generation ahead of the D2 and you can't even buy them yet. For me the D2 was the best phone I could get on the carrier I use and after tossing the remorse over for months I no longer feel any and am extremely happy I pulled the trigger on this phone. Look on the bright side as well also, well it make take some time it looks like cvpcs has gotten cyanogenmod running on the DX in an early version and once it comes to the X it will come to the 2 so I have confidence that if we ever want to try out cyanogedmod we will eventually get the chance! Hope my opinions can help reduce your remorse, the D2 is a great phone and I love it!

I came from htc eris, I like the D2 better for its a more faster phone hardware wise.
[Droid 2 General] botnryan:
i came from the eris to the d2g and i can say i have zero buyers remorse, for the simple fact that the d2 STOCK is better and faster than any rommed eris you'll ever see.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bpk59:
Hello XDA, this is my first post after being a lurker for a while :)

My apologies if this has been asked before or solved but I didn't see anything when I searched. I have an AT&T Captivate - got it on launch day! - and took the plunge 2 weeks ago & flashed Andromeda 1.0 from stock. Everything is awesome, except for this strange issue I get pretty frequently:

About once every other day, my phone will lose all data AND voice connectivity and the only way to fix it is a reboot. Sometimes the phone will display a "no signal" symbol when this happens, other times it will display the normal signal strength. This is a BIG problem since I won't typically know when I've lost all connectivity until I try to use the phone - so if this happens, I can't receive phone calls, SMSs, or other stuff and I won't know that I can't receive them either. I am always within AT&T service with full bars, so I know that it's not something like just not having a signal. Toggling airplane mode doesn't help either.

So, my question is this: does this look like a modem issue where I should try another, or is it a kernel issue and I should try another? FWIW, I'm using the ZNKP1 modem & ursa-minor #8 (stock Andromeda). Is it a known issue with this modem? Any way to debug it that would help devs out? (I'm a Linux dev by profession so I know my way around).

Thanks!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bpk59:
Glad to know I'm not alone here ... this happens to me regardless of whether or not the phone is charging. In fact, it happened at lunchtime to me again today.

This tends to happen if your serial number is different than what is on record. Seems like it has happened to captivates no matter what rom it's on.

Edit: The number is not necessarily the serial number. But nevertheless, call at&t any they will reset the number that is a mistake.

There's a new version of CWM in this link for the Froyo leak of Fascinate: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=937499

I got Froyo just fine, but I just noticed as I'm trying to install a Froyo theme for Fascinate. I'm having trouble getting the new CWM Recovery to "take". Now when I go through ROM Manager to Reboot Into Recovery, it takes me to the stock recovery, but going to "Update.zip" makes a loading bar load about 1/4 of the bar, then it reboots, shows Samsung logo, and is back at stock recovery. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, any help? Is there any .TAR of the new CWM, so I can maybe use Odin to force it on? Thanks.
[Fascinate General] BrwnSuperman:
Get rid of the theme. That's probably the problem. And this should be posted under general or in the thread of whatever ROM you're using.

If you can't get to clockwork use the odin file :)

Oh good, I love Odin and I was hoping for such a file. I'll try this when I get home, thanks!
[Fascinate General] Takafiji:
Posted this in another thread but this is how I did it.

Download the first file from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=942021 and rename it recovery-update.zip put it in the clockworkmod folder on sd card, replacing the old recovery-update.zip.

Download the following file and place it at the root of your sd card, make sure its named update.zip.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17566514/update.zip use it to get into cwm.

Then boot to recovery, (apply update if you get blue writing, choose apply sdcard:update.zip). Once in green cwm choose to "install zip from sd card,"

navigate to your clockworkmod folder then choose the recovery-update.zip file.

Lastly go back to the main options and choose "apply sdcard:update.zip." you should be good to go now!

CWM should be red for now on, and should say voodoo lagfix.

Enjoy! I hope that clears things up!
[Fascinate General] BlackHoleSlam:
I can't get past the blue I think when I get home I am odining everything back to normal
[Fascinate General] minmongoblin:
Taka, I don't have or want voodoo, does that make a difference?
[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
Cwm red was optimized for voodoo, but this version works without it
[Fascinate General] Takafiji:
This version says Voodoo but isn't, the programmer was to lazy to change that (or a voodoo update for froyo will be here soon). Also the bitmap error happens to everyone so don't worry about it.
[Fascinate General] BrwnSuperman:
Well you have Froyo, you must be using a ROM even if it is stock. Did you follow the directions closely when installing Froyo? And there are no custom kernels for DL30 so no worries about accidentally putting on voodoo.
[Fascinate General] sengokubattosai:
Ahhhh!

I am having problems with CWM to the point where I can't install any roms nor can I reboot into CWM recovery. I just flashed DL09 and I am trying to flash froyo but I kinda need CWM to work in order to do that... I have an odin package for the version of CWM I supposedly need but it doesn't work, so should I go back to an older one?
[Fascinate General] rushfanx1:
Cant get to Green anymore

I updated to Froyo last week and everything is working fine except my battery life sucks...

Im going to upgrade to EB01 and try Super Clean

Ive installed the new CWM but I cant get to Green Recovery anymore.

Everytime I run update.zip, it simply brings up the Blue Recovery.
[Fascinate General] minmongoblin:
Try Taka's post on the first page. It worked for me, I'm now rocking the red CWM and running Incognito.
[Fascinate General] rushfanx1:
But isnt RED if you have Voodoo? I dont have Voodoo. Im trying to get Green
[Fascinate General] quarky42:
If you are trying to run a Froyo ROM, even without voodoo, then in this situation you will be using a RED CWM.

Specifically, the one that was posted earlier or can be found here:

Even though it is red, even though you don't want voodoo, this really is the correct cwm for Froyo at this time.

Hi all,

I have a t-mobile UK handset currently on stock 2.21 firmware. I know there will be an OTA update soon, but to be able to keep root and to be able to use custom roms in future, I am presuming I need to avoid the OTA update when it comes out as it might update the bootloader to 2.51 which is non-downgradeable.

Is this correct, and is 2.21 currently the best bootloader to keep?

Thank you.

[Desire HD General] CitizenLee:
No point waiting for HTC to release another buggy ROM.

Just root and it enjoy the

infinitely better

custom ROMs available in the Development section. No official HTC ROM past, present or future will perform as good as the likes of Android Revolution or LeeDroid ROMs.

Then, if you ever have any problems that mean you need to send your phone back, just flash official ROM and your warranty will remain intact.

I'm up and running with Attn1's Liberated Froyo. Took a bit because it was first time and didn't want to screw anything up. My only concern is the battery life.

[Vibrant General] anilo:
Hello,

I've been flashing for a long time and currently I'm running Bionix 1.2. I've got 2 major problems and I have a workaround for each; however I thought the community might know better than me.

The first one is about the signal bars and dropped calls. I live in an area (Maine) where you never experience a dropped call since there aren't many people living. At least with my old MyTouch and stock Vibrant, I never had one. So almost once a day I drop call and see the all the signals gone. Sometimes, I see signals but there is no data or GSM connection since I cannot login to GTalk and other services (FB, twitter, etc.). I read in the development section that turning flight mode on/off can help. Well for me, it sometimes helps, sometimes doesn't. I find myself rebooting to solve the problem at least. I am a little concerned since I might need my cell in case of an emergency and I definitely would not want to wait for a reboot to call 911.

The second one is about the GPS. If I open navigation and ask for turn-by-turn directions, almost every time, it gets stuck searching for GPS. The workaround for me is to launch Maps, wait a few minutes to locate my location; then ask for directions. Although, this might not work from time to time. Again, in the middle of nowhere, you are driving and need a quick and dirty turn-by-turn directions and your smart Vibrant makes you go thru a lot of hassle to accomplish your task.

Any advice from our community?

Thank you!
