I am just curious what you guys think is the best ROM for a D2.
As of right now, nothing compares to Fission.
Best ROM
Fission by far!
Fission huh.....can I ask why
and how do I get it? Do I need another kernal as well?

Just go to the development section and read the first post in the Fission thread. It explains how to install. You need to be rooted and have Koush's bootstrap.
If you like the stock look, you could also try squidly's rom. People with oc have been getting good scores with quadrant. The support is good for it as well. Has scripts setup to make it most customizable for basic needs and has the oc built in as well.

Maybe a but odd question, but what is the most Sense like rom out right now? And what is the latest version of Fission, because I see a few listed in the rom section.
I would agree about a sense like rom. Anything like that out there? Or anyway I could install it on the D2 if I get one?

There's not a sense-like rom that I know of for the D2
Oh, I think I remember seeing one for the original Droid and would have like it on the D2 or at least the dialer.
Try Dialer One.
A Sense ROM is extremely unlikely on the D2, so don't hold your breath.

Yeah, Dialer One is a decent replacement, it has some of the sense look and features
Can i replace the stock dialer with this? Looks nice, but themed version would be great!
How does it compare to this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784778
What about the HTC contact app, anyway one can install that?
What is the latest version of Fission? Can I get it in an HTC style black tool bar and stuff?
There is a Black Status bar. The newest version is 2.1.
Am I the only one that likes stock blur rooted and bootstrapped ? Fission gives me touch issues when using ADW as my home.

Fikckey yeah. For sure then I am goin with the black theme.

Was removed due to piracy with some apps, as well as hyping up the Sense widgets on a AOSP launcher, yet that wasn't true.
Mods, can we leave this thread here for a TINY bit, just so anyone else looking can know?
interesting...i was actually going to download the "new" version and check it out. guess ill just stick with what i have right now....
Aww that sucks the Rom was starting you like the Rom.....

It's really just a Sense based ROM, with an AOSP launcher. Has a bunch of stuff removed, like the Rosie.apk, etc, but when you actually go to add widgets on the default launcher, none of the sense Widgets are actually there.
Anyone try version 4 which supposedly includes the HTC Camera app?

yes because having sense widgets is impossible without the full sense rom frameworks etc.

It DOES, because it's a SENSE Rom, lol. All of the HTC Apps work .. because it's sense. The widgets however don't work, as most suspected they wouldn't. At least not for me.

As I and most others thought, but Sid had said he completely re-wrote stuff, so some of us thought "just maaaaaybe" lol. Can't wait to test out Liquid!!

well if there were sources to the sense apk/ frameworks or the overall sense roms from htc, then maybe it would be possible, but as we all know that is closed source. so a rewrite to make them work is not very likely to work.
btw glad you'r waiting for the liquid_metal rom, you wont be disappointed.
Third strike for Sillian.

Shame, I was actually really excited to try this out. When I downloaded and installed 4A it was really underwhelming
Really too bad that he was lying.

Yep, when he said,so casually, "ill just add the sense widgets to aosp" i knew it was bs. Meh he spammed the froums a bit with the coming soon things.

Uh oh! You just provided a link to a website that is known to host ROMs with pirated software. lol
Im also waiting to try the Liquid Rom, nice to see something really different in the ROM game.
lol. Well, at least not all of them do. .. honestly, it kinda sucks though, because his Sense 3a ROM runs amazing, with superb battery life. Even at 806mhz it runs better than some other Sense ROMs I've tried.

Capone is right on the money. It's one of the most popular ROMs out there for any phone that dev teams can get it on. Lots of great features, nightlies with small tweaks released frequently, and just overall pure Android goodness.
I just flashed it today for the first time and, despite no fingerprint scanner, it's worth it.
With that said, I cannot figure out CM7 team's fascination with ADW launcher. Go Launcher Ex is a better and faster launcher imho.

Maybe the team has some stake in the app. Might even be made by one of the devs. Personally I like ADW but you're right, there are better launchers out there.

It helps that ADW Launcher is open source and has never had to contend with (likely overblown) privacy concerns as has Go. I'm partial to Zeam Launcher myself; it's minimalist, perhaps to a fault, but it is snappy and perfect for low memory devices.

Out of curiosity, what do you mean about Go? I've been using Go for several months now, but when I put CM7 on I decided to give it a whirl. I've decided that Go is just a better launcher all around, but I haven't heard of any privacy concerns.
Also, is CM7 not allowed to just use the stock UI from Google?

Yeah, you could use Launcher2. But I was told it's memory hungry, and overall lacks many important features (like resizing widets)

A while back, before I was really on the Android scene, there some some chatter about Go Launcher requiring internet permissions from Android and sending the phone's IMEI to their servers. I said "unfounded" because lots of apps do that, especially pay apps.
As if there weren't enough threads about it? Didn't u have to make an account to post here? Did u watch the video? Search function and Google are your friends. Good luck all, happy flashing.

Hi
The rom that is now locked for warez reports, is it a good rom and worth flashing?
Thanks
This one:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382934

warez reports? says pending..so maybe its nothing.
I've been running it since before the closing of the thread. As far as I know, the 'warez' refers to a certain paid app already installed and included with the ROM, which is against XDA rules. The ROM will not harm your phone.

Cool, so what do you think of the rom, was it easy to install? Any overclock that comes with it, just general review.
Thanks for response.
I've been running it on my phone for about a week now without any issues. It doesn't come with an overclock but works great with faux's kernel. I have had less issues with that rom then I had with the normal CM7 beta. It's my favorite rom I've tried thus far on my atrix.
I've been running it since the first Beta.
No major issues, but also haven't found any big benefits over CM7 other than a couple themes and a launcher I didn't care for.
And like ar31791 said, I think the warez was just the version of Rom Toolbox that was included was the pro version. But it was removed before the PreRelease anyway.
Personally I hate Rom Toolbox, so I just deleted it and installed RomManager anyway

How can u compare the two? They're for completely different things. They kinda work well with each other.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
I thought he took out the full version of rom toolbox, or is there another app he is ripping off?
So far it has been a good rom. I had to find a version of google talk that would allow for video chat. Also not too crazy about the camera.
If there are more warez and no further development I probably wont support it for much longer.
I believe rom manager premium was included as well
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
hte warez report right now is a live wallpaper included, either than that it is a sweet rom. I was running it untill neutrino came out
I've been using it since 1st Beta so far it is great! The Neutrino is also a great one.
I'm running it and so far so good.

The two? I assume you mean Rom Toolbox vs RomManager? I know they're different, I mean personally I just found no use for Rom Toolbox above what RomManager did for me.
Not to mention every time I tried to run it (I believe it was the pro version at the time) it kept telling me I had to install the pro version of RomManager to use it. Even with the free version installed, it still wanted Pro.
Hi there. Been using icebox beast rom and its awesome. Go launcher is a bit choppy though and not as smooth as Id like. Switched to launcher pro and my phone feels like new. So smooth and quick.
Sent from my Hero using XDA
i'd love to use the beast flavor v1.1 too, but the missing multilanguage thing makes me using the HeroICS v3 rom who runs well but not flawless. Anyone try to use the morelocale2 app?? does it translate all the rom? thanks..
Use v0.2 there's hardly any difference
Sent from my Hero using XDA
humm I have some doubts.. most people said this was a major difference and i think also Icebox said it too..
v1.1 it's much more complete. I strongly suggest you try that instead of v0.1 or any other version because v0.1 used CM 7.2 rc2 as a base and people were making noise that after a while the rom becomes heavy and laggy. So v1 had the base changed to Decked_X for much better speed and stability (indeed it is much speedy than v0.1 and go launcher moves smooth on it), though you have only english...
Go launcher not as smooth as launcher pro. I'm on v1.1. Unless I have something that needs setting. Also mediafire is terrible on mobile it wont load
