[ROM] 2.40 R2D2 Removed - Complete & Clean ROMs

[AngDroid]

Thanks to My Doid World for releasing the R2-D2 2.40 ROM. It has a few bug fixes besides the Stars Wars additions. All Star Wars related items have been removed and replaced with D2 items. Star Wars sounds have been left in.

New ROMs are the way so I took the old ROMs down. They have much cleaner install. Current users do not need to upgrade...

Nice work, Motaboy...

One minor step you might want to add above for any noobs who would follow the steps very literally...connect Droid to PC via USB and set USB connection to PC Mode before starting ADB commands.

I'm going to put a link to this thread from Android Forums - folks over there will probably be happy to find this stuff is available.

Cool. You do not need to be in PC Mode since this is all done within Bootstrap

Duh...see, people (i.e., me) just do not read what's right in front of them. So just the USB connect step...

Well for the super clean install you do need to be in PC Mode...


For those who want the Black Status (HTC) Bar for the full version I should have it up soon.

If your paid apps are not showing up in market. You can edit the build.prop file in system/app

replace this

# Do not try to parse ro.build.description or .fingerprint
ro.build.description=cdma_droid2-user 2.2 VZW 2.4.0 ota-rel-keys,release-keys
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/droid2_vzw/cdma_droid2/droid2:2.2/VZW/24.0:user/ota-rel-keys,release-keys

With the lines from the original D2 build.prop. I do not have that file here to paste the correct lines

Or

Youc can wait for Friday when the R2D2 is released and the market should be updated then for that device...

Did you try to install Superuser from market before you rooted again? All you have to do is install superuser from market and you should have root.

Has anybody had time to test if the battery life is any better on this release as opposed to 2.2.20. Thanks.

 

[imtheconvict]

i didnt even know about super user in the market oh well i already rooted so i cant test lol and quie2droid this rom/update has only been around for about 5 hours so no there is no way to tell yet i can say that the clock is moved on the lock screen and the notification pull down is transparent and wifi works like it should other than that havent seen any differences yet

Edit: c3p0 is still shown in the texting app for contacts with no picture
