Droid 2 Global ROMs

[quickgiant]

Alright, I've tried posting comments with no response anywhere, so here's a thread. is there anyone trying to port/make roms for the d2g? verizon seems to be pushing it more than the other versions and now there is an sbf, so i dont see why there wouldnt be more development. maybe its that the sbf came out recently, so there isnt anything ready, but it doesnt even seem like anyone is trying, except for fission. whats the deal? does no one have one to test on, or does no one want to port anything in the first place?

Fission is available

It's probably that no one has one to test on. Aside from fission of course.

tappin and a talkin

that really sucks, because fission is pretty good, but stuff like liberty is awesome.

Only Fission I can find for Global is 2.4.3. and it seems to have bugs.

What problems did you have with Fission 2.4.3? just curious because I flashed my D2G about a week ago with it, and I love it so far.. I haven't found anything that doesn't work or bugs. Just wondering if there's something I haven't discovered yet?

Thanks

No problems because I have not done it. Various users report bluetooth does not work, music controls do not work, several users report Droid Overclock does not work and there seem to be various ringtone issues - sound and or ringtone just changes to something else.

Ah, ok. I don't use bluetooth and I either listen to xm or pandora, so haven't really messed with audio controls.. haven't overclocked and not really interested in that atm.. I guess I did just miss all of the the bugs lol.

Well, I am not sure I would call them bugs - the thing is - I do not know what to call them. They happen to some people but not others. And they are not always noobs just messing things up. People who owned other Droids and have flashed roms in the past are having issues.... they go back to SBF and everything is fine. Back to fission and the same problems. Go figure. I am also concerned that Fission is at 2.5.7 except global, where it is still at 2.4.3. As it is, I found a bloatware removal script that I think will take care of most of my issues. With Wifi & GPS off most of the time I am doing better with battery. I wish it would last a little longer, but I am settled on getting the extended battery. I might turn off the underclocking just to see how it affects battery. I am told it was WiFi that was killing it.

I will post after a while to tell ya'll how running stock battery controls affects things.

I do know what you mean about things affecting certain users and not others. I guess my case is just a combination of being lucky and just not using some of the services that have been known to be buggy on fission 2.4.3. I too am awaiting the D2G fission version to catch up with the others at 2.5.7
I think I have noticed an improvement in battery life since flashing to fission, but it's only a small improvement. If not plugged in, then I try to have the screen at it's lowest setting, and I have everything turned off other than 3g and that seems to help some.

Only some users had the bugs. I am getting extended battery soon!

Hi everybody, well I installed the Liberty 1.0 on my D2G, I know beatifull but bad idea! Now I cant make any call because air plane mode is on always, I am waiting for the D2G Fission 2.5.7 to be ready to migrate.

Meanwhile the fission 2.4.3 is a gud idea? Can i make calls with it? And its is working ok?

Hey, I can only speak for myself, but my D2G is great with fission 2.4.3. I haven't noticed any problems. I can make calls just fine to answer your specific question. Good luck

Unfortunately I have most of the "bugs" that draexo mentioned. My Ringtones and notification sounds constantly change to random videos I have on my sd card, games like angry birds (and a few others) wouldnt install as soon as I used the fission rom, and several other problems.

I used his ROM on my old D2 and I had similar issues that just never got resolved, so I went back to stock. Now since it's the only ROM on D2G, I got anxious waiting for new roms and bit the bullet. I mean, I figure, it seems like they put out a new version of Fission so often they must be fixing stuff, but unfortunately I was wrong. I'm just to lazy to flash back to stock atm.

The ONLY Rom you can use on the D2G is Fission. The rest WILL NOT work.
I am avoiding 2.4.3 Fission for now.
