[ROM] The CM7 Gingerbread ROM (CM4D2-GB) is now ready for prime time!

[droid2drummer]

does anyone know about how often the nightlies are released?

Seems I haven't seen a new one since the update?

My D2 is miles ahead of me running Cm7GB(OTAkernel)

Whenever rev releases one. Usually once a week or every other week.

The official nightly is released pretty much every day.

Pay it forward

Once it is flashed, can someone explain how to use JakebitesMids or point me in the right direction.

Read his rootzwiki thread (where you got the file). Whatever you still have questions on, feel free to pm me and I'll answer whatever you need to know.

ok well maybe you can explain what the difference between rev's nightlies and the official ones are? or point me in the right direction? im just curios...i would LOVE to find out how one actually gets involved in making these roms, besides having to have the knowledge to do so, which, as we all know I DONT HAVE...lol

I know Idopa and many/most of us know this, but just in case....currently we can only use Rev's unofficial nightlies for now....no one on this ROM should apply any nightlies from ROM Manager or here (CyanogenMod nightlies changelog for Cdma_droid2) where the official ones come from...they will bork your D2.

Only use Rev's builds from the OP of this thread, most recent is 9/8:

has anybody experienced the fact that when they charge their batteries that it doesnt take long to get a full charge? i had 15% battery life an hour and a half ago, charged it up and am now at 100%. is this normal with this mod? or is something wron with my phone?

 

[ldopa]

It happens to me once in a while. I don't see it as abnormal at all.

You can tell that I have no wifi and no pc, haha. It's strange too, because I haven't noticed any throttling.

It's probably time to calibrate your battery if this is happening.

OAN, I'll be happy when the camera zoom issue is fixed and when 1% battery life increments are added. This is already a kickass ROM, but I guess I just want to have my cake and eat it too.

My biggest problem is that gps does not activate and reactive correctly. You have to reboot the phone to get it to work. Also still would love the ability to disable car dock or dock mode all together. When the magnet gets hit it kills the battery. I'm using an app to help stop it but it still isn't perfect.

Great job all involved great rom.

Two issues, probably mostly out of lack of GB knowledge:

1) After I'm on the "!" screen when booting into recovery, pressing the "Search Button" does nothing. What am I doing wrong?

2) RSD Lite can't find my phone...known issue?

1) press both volume buttons at the same time.
2) make sure you have the lastest motorola drivers and rsd lite.

GPS works fine, turns on, locks in, and tracks w/out issue for me in Google Maps, Navigation, My Tracks, etc. Likely something specific on your phone...Maybe an app like GPS Test can help you see what's up?

Zoom on volume buttons works great...enable it in camera settings, much easier to use than on-screen zoom anyway, IMHO.
