Switch from D1 to D2? (no cost)

[easye]

I suppose I'm just gonna try it out, no risk really. I will feel a bit awkward if he gives it to me and a week later I'm using the D1, having solid his D2 for cash

Thanks for the info guys. I'm still a bit confused about the difference between the D1 and D2 in terms of the whole bootloader/bootstrapping thing, but I'll figure it out..

Just try it, if you don't like it sell it to me ;-)

Sent from my Droid running whatever ROM and Kernel I chose to use today...

I agree. Just try it out. If you don't like it, I too would buy it from you. I'd even trade you two D1s for it.

Yeah right now I'm running Peter Alfonso's newest Gingerbread ROM with a 1.25 ghz kernel. I generally don't jump from ROM to ROM too frequently either, so I guess it just comes down to having the one I want. I just figured with the D2 the stock specs are higher (internal memory, CPU), so the rooted possibilities would exceed the D1's as well. I guess the locked bootloader you mention is a big factor in that? I won't lie, I've heard the term thrown around with great disdane, but I can't say I know what it really means.

I'm don't jump around much myself, and I was stock for a long time once Froyo hit the D1. However, I finally had to send Peter some Paypal cash after he released this Gingerbread with 1.25ghz kernel. I'm running that too for a week or more now and just love it. Couple spontaneous reboots, but battery life seems good even with the higher top on the clock. What a great ROM. I love the stock look and would HIGHLY recommend this ROM to anyone with a D1 to give it some extra life until a new phone we actually want comes out.

I have an upgrade at the end of the month but I don't see anything yet that I want to pull the trigger on. Plus, I'm worried about losing my unlimited text, data & talk promo.[/QUOTE]

You should try liquid gingerbread 1.4. Best gingerbread Rom out there. Imho

I got a D2G replacement for my OG. The phone runs smoother and battery life is great so far. However, not many roms are out compared to OG. At the same time OG developers are concentrating on gingerbread roms. I wasnt able to run the gingerbread that good on my OG. I would miss text messages and other stuff. So far so good for now.
