[Official] R2-D2 [D2] Owners Thread

[TAfirehawk]

Just saw this thread, been awhile since I had been here after setting up my R2D2. I got the D2 the first weekend it came out but had to wait on the R2D2 for my second family share upgrade to kick in. Now my wife has the old D2, if you can call it old hehe, and I get reminded all day of my Star Wars geekdom

I found all the D2 stuff to work just fine on the R2D2.

I see posters mention info previous in the thread instead of answering the actual questions. I help run a forum for the Star Wars Galaxies Emulator where this same issue comes up after dozens of pages in a big thread. The solution is to take the second post in threads like this and the Mods keep it updated with useful info from everybody....nobody wants to go through 22+ pages, we do live in the instant gratification generation

Hey everyone, first post here.

1. I have a R2D2 Droid 2, and the novelty of the Star Wars stuff has worn off. The phone is rooted, and I would like a clean vanilla ROM with no bloatware. Can anyone tell me what ROMs work with the R2D2?

2. The main reason I am so eager to replace the ROM is because my phone reboots itself multiple times each day, usually after it is locked, or during unlock. I have been told that this is a common glitch and some custom ROMs fix this problem.

Thanks

Searching the forums will turn up answers to most of the questions you have...

SBF the Full 2.3.20 SBF and then install whatever ROM you want.

that's the simple answer.

Great, thanks. I realize the answers exist on the forums, and I have been trying so hard to sift through things and find answers. Thats why I gave up and came here. I would like for someone to explain things in plain English to me.

Can someone tell me exactly what SBF is? Is it the firmware for the phone?

And will a new SBF or ROM fix the random restarts?

Thanks for your patience

Just got an R2D2 version 2 days ago. Haven't set it down yet. Phenomenal device, and great looks. Only problem I have with it, is Motorola. It has the same chipset as the Droid 2 World, but was downclocked to only 1Ghz. Also, all the motorola apps are annoying. Would prefer it to be regular Android OS, with the Artoo goodies.

System Boot File. After flashing this file, your phone will be out-of-the-box stock.

The most recent version of the D2 SBF can be found here. This is the only SBF that works with the R2D2.

It might fix the reboots and then again, it might not. There are several reasons reboots happen. Conflicting apps, wrong app removed, bad files, etc.

I gotta admit it is hard shifting through all the threads to find the exact one you need. The search bar doesn't seem to work that great either, I search photo editor and found this :/

For Reboots......
I've learned that some problems with rebooting can be fixed by installing an app that can "fix permissions". I use Rom Manager from ClockworkMod. In the setting run "Fix Permissions", in will take a minute or two to complete. I helped my phones.
