[AngDroid]

A [video=youtube;h3zykRrsAtk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_profilepage&v=h3zykRrsAtk"]flashback to when ROM was first booted[/video] ... the good ol' days.

Team DeFuse Presents
Vanilla Android 2.4
Only use themes made for 2.4 if you want to keep lots of new features in Fission!!!​

About Us & ROM:

The first generic Android platform for current and future Droid devices. We are a bunch of mad hackers, modders and developers that were not happy with the current model of Droids being "Blurred" so we began a mission to rid our devices from the blurriness of VZW Android systems. It started with a crazy idea of messing with the Droid2 SDK that has turned into a full fledge AOSP generic type of ROM. We have incorporated many features that were only seen in AOSP ROMs before this. Some of the features include Reboot in Power Menu, custom built Framework, vanilla Android GUI, totally blur free app folder and many more AOSP like features to come in the short term future.
​

Features:

True Vanilla ROM with generic Android feel, not themed to look line one. No blur apps...
Reboot in Power Menu.
Custom Framework - 10% battery increments with display percent number & without.
Overclock ready out of box.
Lots of free memory.
ROM has root and has been deodexed, and zip alligned.
Busybox installed and symlinks have been applied.
Clean base for you to customize how you like.
And many more...

Themes:

Check Fission ROM Manager. Many themes are up.
​

Changelog:
2.2.1 -> 2.4
All Devices are now equal. Perform and look the same.
Framework improvements all around. Colors, placement of graphics...lots of little changes.
Almost all apps for each device have been rebuilt from source. Either from AOSP source or Moto source.
Each device now has device specific apps. Will help of future Blur add on. Many people been asking for many different Blur apps so there will be an add on Blur package. Blur package will be heavily modified Blur services and then each app will be an individual add on.
MMS menu compose graphic now fixed.
Phone mute fixed.
Rebuilt Moto Apps (MediaGallery, Cam and Music) are now standard. They work better and will help with Blur add on. Generic Android Apps will be available on FRM.
All devices now use Moto Multi-Touch keyboards. They are themed as Generic Android Keyboards.
More cleaning of code and tweaks...
Few other changes I can not think of right now
Small bug with Global ROM. If you need to activate, slide out keyboard and hit the number key you need to use.
No need to wipe data or cache if coming from previous Fission ROM; however the installer will wipe your system folder so back up any changes you have made to your system folder.
DO NOT USE 2.3.1 Themes. They will work but you will lose lots of changes. Themers are working hard now to update themes.
I must say these are the best Fission ROMs so far. Lots of love and hard work went into them.

2.2.1 -> 2.3.1
DX - Might be best to SBF to new 2.3.320 leak or .340 before installing Fission 2.3
updated core to new 2.3.320/.340
D2 Global - This is the first build, RC1 please prepair yourself for bugs. There still reqires a lot
of pollish and work to be done
video issues resolved from Fission 2.2.2
Music, Cam and Gallery are now Moto packages
Fixed phone mute bug
Fixed MMS package graphic glitch
More framework tweaks
D2 Global is still in RC stage so expect some bugs.

2.21 -> 2.2.2
Reboot problem fixed
Email app updated, email app in 2.1 caused problems for some users.
Music app is now Moto default Music app
Overclock functions now back in with JRummy Script or through update.zip files.

2.1 -> 2.2.1
Started with clean 2.3.20 D2 Base & DX 2.3.15
Removed all Blur related files that are no longer needed, not just apps but files within framework, lib, etc and other places.
Upgraded core system files to Android 2.2.1 Generic build. Did not use the leaked 2.2.1 VZW files yet. Done for a reason and you will find out later.
Upgarded almost all Apps to Android 2.2.1 version and VZW apps to the latest versions.
Removed Memo.apk and Notepad.apk
Removed all overclock related files.

A. You can but you may have bugs. If you do not follow install instructions then do not post a bug that you may have.

A. You can but you may have bugs. If you do not follow install instructions then do not post a bug that you may have.

Q. I am having reboots, why?
A. Make sure you have installed ROM by following every step of instructions. Back up memory card, format memory card and then copy over only your files back to memory card, do not copy over Android made folders/files. Do not overclock. Uninstall any overclock app you have installed.

Q. I want the battery percentage numbers to be displayed?
A. Reboot into recovery and apply the framework file in /sdcard/fission/add_on folder.

Q. I am coming from previous Fission ROM or different ROM can I install over?
A. Once again, you can but you may have bugs. If you do not follow install instructions then do not post a bug that you may have.

A. Go to account settings and enable Gmail to sync.

Q. I installed ROM but it is showing VZW build info in About screen?
A. The build.prop, which contains that info has been left as default values. You can change what you want very easily by searching build.prop tweaks. Some things may break so be careful with what you are doing.

Man, I JUST flashed 2.3.1 this morning! At least I get a little bit of time before the themes are ported over before I have to update it again. Great job! Can't wait to try it out.

 

[inssane]

A mention of a blur add on is in the most recent change log.
Will this be another zip file to download in the future or is it bundled with the current ROM download?

I just loaded Apex yesterday and don't want to Fission back just yet until I can get some blur back (phone primarily).

I'm going to start skipping every other release. There is a new Fission release every week.

this is a really good rom but i cant install any update after 2.2.2 not from recovery and not from the fission rom manager full. the problem im having is that i keep getting stuck on the damn motorola logo and thats as far as ive gotten. i mean 2.2.2 is great but i would really like to update the rom. everytime i get stuck at the logo i have to sbf back to my last back up using sbf 2.3.20. if any one knows what the problem might be or had simular problems and got passed it please reply to this post and let me know because honestly this **** is starting to piss me off and i know im doing it right or i wouldnt have been able to get fr 2.2.2 to run....thanks

 

[UrbanBounca]

You SBF back to 2.3.20, then do a manual upgrade to 2.4.

 

[The Walker]

Thanks. But I found that out the hard way. I should have posted it earlier. But im good now.

 

[trook]

2.4.1 is dope..... i hate blur. i love fission. Its so fast. I like that its constantly updating, the fission rom manager does everything for me, I haven't wiped since 2.1 and its running great.

How often does someone monitor the email accounts of [email protected] and [email protected]. I made a donation last week and not heard back.

What's new in 2.4.2?

Where do I find a changelog for 2.4.2? It's in FRM Pro, but nothing about what has changed.

You mean for the link to FRM Pro? There was a link provided during the "donation" process for me. Best $10 I ever spent.

 

[pmay01]

There wasn't when I did it back on 12/9/2010. I have sent emails as it says to to both accounts and not heard back. So it was updated to be automated I think since.

 

[UrbanBounca]

Wow! I flashed 2.4 this morning, and 2.4.2 is already available. I did the upgrade, but I can't keep up with them all.

I just went from D1 to D2 earlier this week and I'm learning. Tonight I decided to install the Fission ROM, the first ROM for the D2 I've attempted. I successfully installed 2.4.2 tonight using the Fission ROM Manger Lite. To get the theme I want, is it now my understanding I can't have a theme unless I donate to the donate Fission ROM Manager? Or, is there another area I need to look in.

There are many themes over on XDA, but they haven't been converted to work with 2.4 quite yet. Another day or two, and they'll be full.
