CyanogenMod 9 [BETA] (D2) (8/19)

[NZitney]

If you have never rooted, you will have to after the SBF.

Here are two good tutorials for the D2.

and this is the one I used when I first tried to install a ROM

How To Install a Custom Rom on the Motorola Droid 2 - TheUnlockrTheUnlockr

Good guides, but no need. The gingerbread sbf was really the missing link here, thanks for the link. There are other threads that have multiple users agreeing that there is no GB sbf for droid 2... very misleading. I don't really see too many other people making the same mistake as me, but it might not be a bad idea idea to make a note somewhere.

On another note, awesome rom - was fearing the worst from battery life, but I'm finding it's actually quite acceptable. Main thing I wish I could do is remove/resize the shortcut bar on the homescreen.

Yes they are. This is the Motorola Droid 2 subforum and a thread for that phone....

[havens1515]

Yeah, I would suggest hitting up the Dinc 2 forum, instead of the D2 forum. We don't know anything about the radios in the Dinc 2, or how to return it to factory, or any of that. (Unless someone in here happens to also own a Dinc 2 as well as a D2.)

Good luck man, I'm sure that the people in the Dinc 2 section can help. I'd recommend going over to Rootzwiki and asking people in the Dinc 2 section there as well. Seems Rootz is usually more populated than DF.

OP updated with new build. No real changes from the 8/9 build over on rootz.

Does anyone know if i flash this after converting to cricket, if it will screw up the settings? maybe only need to fix mms? let me know what you think. Thanks!

Haven't done a flash before but I'm pretty certain your best bet is to backup everything in Titanium Backup or what have you and do a clean install after and then restore. I'm pretty certain the flash is going to change your system files which means you won't be able to do a full nandroid restore.
