No apologies necessary man, its better safe than sorry... I will start w
bootstrap aka clockworkrecovery...if you find yourself caught in a bootloop, a battery pull after 5 seconds of the boot logo and a restart after will hijack the bootup and put you in clockwork recovery...iknow that on my d2 if I plugged my phone into the charger without my battery it got me to clockwork recovery as well, but can't say I've tried it on my global...however you get there you would simply scroll down to backup&restore and load up a previous backup...some people say to wipe data before, some say don't...I've done both..worked either way...when you load a backup...give it time...it takes awhile to load and check the md5sum, when I did it my first few times I thought it was frozen... ..I don't restore often, but, once I got my phone looking and running how I wanted, I kind of left it alone since the d2g doesn't have much developement....which brings me to
roms-d2 roms, I.e. Liberty 1.5/2.0.1 can be ported over to the d2g via the grd rommer tool...but, after flashing the rom, and flashing the rommer over it, you must disable sensors or the phone will restart when it sleeps...there are a few sensors on every moto droid, proximity, infrared(may b the same idk) accelerator, tilt, cpl others im sure...but neways, they r tied into the systems of the d2 and d2g differently causing problems when porting a rom directly without the rommer...that and issues w the dual radios and extra cpu processor slot...with all of these sensors off, your phone wont go into landscape mode...or sleep when you take a call and have it by your ear...can't play many games...no hardkey backlight, amongst others... ..those r the main reasons why I myself havnt used the rommer w liberty...cuz when I had a d2 that's what I was rockin...
Ninjamorph...yes it can be used to change individual icons...but, it would be a small pain n the rear with very small benefit...and you would have to know the exact location of each png so you could navigate thro the maize of png upon png which have similar names to one another...and many apps or settings have the same png in different locations that are different sizes or just serve different purposes...I don't use ninjamorph very much so I can't guide you too well with past experience, I could only give you the general idea if you took this route
metamorph is good, justin has tons of small themes if you want to make ur notification bar black or yellow or red w.e, and the same goes w all images that show up in the notification bar...also has a theme for a red "settings" menu for your phones settings.apk ...you can change your lock pattern pngs or your standard slide lock look..he has a ton of stuff of the droidpirate website, and I paid to be an exclusive member because I use his themes on about 90% of the stuff n my notification bar...so its well worth looking into metamorph IMO, altho a thread in the d2g forums somewhere says its no good....meh, I beg to differ, I've had more good luck with it than bad, and for the bad, clockwork has been my remedy.....sorry, this was all alot of info, probly lead to more ?s...if so, ask away man, ill answer to the best of my abilities...but, im no pro, just a petty nerd
