I was wondering whether anyone has developed a working ROM that contains Motoblur within the build? For me, that would be a fascinating alternative to the HTC Sense interface or the plain vanilla one through Nexus One or G1. Thanks!
I agree while motoblur gets a lot of hate it would be fun to see whats all the fuss about

I'm in also. I would use MotoBlur and also the UI from the new Droid 2.
ive owned a moto cliq , it really great for facebook and twitter heads
but i was honestly thinking the same thing
honestly I hated the silly motorola ui on my cliq, I do miss the badass keyboard tho. Poor guys at modmymoto are still waiting on the 2.1 update

There's a Motoblur.apk floating around but it doesn't work on my Droid. Can someone modify it for Droid?

Cool I will have to try the apk build on one of my ROMs.

I'm not sure if I would want the original motoblur but the version on the DroidX and Droid2 are pretty sweet. The build in email app is just about the best I've seen on Android so far.
is this even possible thou? since it is coming from motorola and not htc.
Wouldn't work on mine either. MCCM 1,5. Wouldn't install.
Same here. That .apk file is defective!
been awhile since this was brought up... anyone try'n or gonna try to see this can be done?

sadly I can't try it out..
problem booting android..urggghh...
Anyone here move from an Eris or Hero to the D2, or M2 and have some regrets or something that was on the previous phone that they miss?
I came from a Hero. Not a single regret. This phone is worlds above the Hero.

I'm on a CDMA hero, running CM and I don't miss anything about sense Really it's just extra bloat IMHO
I'm moving from an Eris to the d2 as soon as I get the d2 from Verizon (probably tomorrow) I can tell you now I won't miss a thing about the Eris. Its slow and outdated. Don't get me wrong, it did what I needed to do, but the d2's hardware is just soooo much better. (Haven't used sense in ages since Tazz froyo came out for Eris)

I'm coming from cm6.1RC5 on my d1, but the screen cracked and I'm getting a d2 as a replacement.
Vanilla and or blur, what's the best? Anyone as highly used/touted as cyanogen?
Sorry for noob questions!

I'd like to know as well lol....
Personally I think blur does nothing but slow the phone down. I would go with fission. Great battery life and its super smooth and clean.

thanks for the reply, any other opinions, oh mighty XDA?
Fission 2.2.2 seems to be running great for me. Had some issues with earlier versions, but 2.2.2 is smooth, and great battery life over stock for sure. Squidlymandigo has a nice one too and has a way to disable haptic feeback for real.
I'd go with Fission.
Honestly the stock ROM is perfectly good to me. I've rooted (z4) for wifi tethering, but beyond that have really found no reason to change. I don't use any blur widgets (not many widgets at all, actually) and LauncherPro is plenty UI customization for me. Since the recent update (2.3.20) battery life is fine - I can go two days on light use - again, my widget and background task list is very light.
I'll ROM when I feel the need to, but I haven't found a real need yet.
Yea I agree that the stock 2.3.2 blur is really good. I am not knocking the fission dev's because some people need plain android but I think moto did a good job with this version. Rooted you can really make the blur run great.

Rooted blur with titanium backup makes a great phone. it tuns smooth when all the bloatware is removed. if you like a aosp like experiance then i recomend going with fission. though modding the phone yourself is more fun when you learn more.

i used to think you needed a rom to make a phone good but that was me coming from wack android phones......im digging the rooted stock pretty well
just overclock......you wont complain about blur being slow anymore
Hi, i did not want to make a new thread so I'll post in this one. I'm from UK and I'm new user of MM2. My phone is sim free but I'm on contract with o2 with SE x10 ( don't buy this phone!) and here I come to my question, I cannot update to 2.3 or 2.23 or what ever the newest software is. Is the new software available in certain countries or networks ? I'm on 2.2. BTW Blur looks quite good better than sense ui in htc's but its a bit slow sometimes but new update can solve this issue. Regards
Squidly with or without blur and he's started porting some themes with permission from a few devs. Started using before fission became what it is now, but i'm not having problems.
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
Squidley's worked well for me also. The only issue I had was after time, memory seemed to shrink, until reboot. No apps appeared to be running, or in the services. But other then that, squidley's was probably the rom that seemed to have the least issues. For me anyways. But fission 2.2.2 is working great for me!
Noob here
Sorry if this is a stupid question!
first of all here is the info on my droid2 under about phone:
system version= verizon.2.3.20.a955.verizon.en.us
android version= 2.2
baseband= bp_c_01.09.07p
kernal= 2.6.32.9-g462500f
my phone is rooted and deodexed and i am looking for themes i can flash but i get confused when reading post and they refer to the ver 2.2 or 2.3.1.5 do i need to be concerned with the theme matching the android version or the system version or both.
Any help would be great!
thx in advance.
I was looking through the lists of roms for the droid 2 and I saw that all the roms are either stock or blur or half blur.... I was wondering if it would even be possible to port the MIUI rom over to the droid 2. It is made for the incredible, nexus 1, original droid, evo, and a few other big name phones and I was thinking we should port it over to the droid 2.
I know there are going to be a bunch of complications but I still don't really understand why a bunch of these roms don't work yet for the droid 2 and what is involved in porting them over...
thanks a lot,
ljbaumer

i fully agree, i was excited about coming from the eris to the d2 in hopes that this rom existed for it. i've been pretty bummed out since vzw swapped me out because the eris dev community was so strong... i would love to see a miui rom though...
I am in the process of doing this. Last two attempts have been unsuccesful. I am trying to get help from the devs that have been succesful.

that is awesome. if i knew ANYTHING about development i would be the first person to help you. thanks for doing this, anything that provides more options gets us in the right direction.
It would be hard, but I am gonna work on it after my AOSP build. I would be buggy though, because it is an aosp rom.

right on man, sounds great. how is unleashed 3 coming along?
If we were able to get MIUI on to the droid 2 would we be able to use a similar strategy for porting sense over?
Also when is someone gonna work on a kitchen for the D2? I feel like once we get a kitchen set up for this baby we're gonna get a bunch of cool new roms

I came from the Original Droid and the Dev community was HUGE! I would practially have a new ROM every week and I could switch so easily with Rom Manager. I loved it, the D2 just seems too hard to root, I've had to do so many sbf restores, I miss my old OG Droid.

The droid 2 isn't hard to root at all. Why don't you use the one click root methods?

Sorry I should have rephrased myself. Rooting is terribly easy compared to the old way on the OG droid. But I meant installing roms is such a pain on the D2
I am another former Eris user. There were a TON of really great ROMs on that phone. I said it before, I'll say it again: I knew eFuse would mean a diminished number of ROMs and a smaller dev community but I was honestly astonished at how small it is. I'm hoping the Matt churns out his Unleashed 3 here real soon as that would be the perfect basis for a kitchen. Having a good, solid kitchen would be all that we'd need to see some more good, non-Blur ROMs pop up.

I am from eris also and I made roms for myself (not for the public). It was a great community and I did a lot of beta testing for the developer of white widow rom series ( which was a big hit).
I wish some devs would move over or we atleast get a kitchen...

well how were the first few miui roms ported to previous devices, and how can we do that for our D2s? im interesting in helping in any way i can. it sickens me, this is the first device ive ever had to have less than a few roms to play with.
Edit: foot in mouth.
I guess I could PM the evo developer who ported it over... ill try and to that later tonight

You can thank Moto for locking the bootlader and making us jump through hoops and using work arounds to get what we want out of our devices. If we had an unlocked bootloader then we could just install a new kernel but I assume new devices will have similar securities on them so at least from moto get used to working around until someone on the inside slips the keys.
Just made the jump to the Droid X and wondering if custom Roms are available or if I chose a lemon that's been passed by. PPCG have about 1000 posts for the phone itself. Looks like Moto phones wont work on HTC roms and such. I'm pretty lost on the issue as I've spent years on winmo and never had to worry about custom roms. now I am. What's the status of the Droid X for development and life? Is it gone already and I should get a refund?
It's all here.

Rubix 1.9.5 is pretty good. GummyJar 2.5 is great. And Liberty 1.0 which is more of an extension of GummyJar is by far the best.
Hey armus, I'm new to the Droid X also but it looks like there is plenty of development going on. I'm using the liberty rom (you can find it in the development section) its only on version 1.0 but its running flawlessly on my phone. You will need to download the Droid x bootstrapped from the marketplace (I think it was 1.50) but its worth it. I was using gummyJAR until liberty came out just a few days ago.

There is usually a good amount of development done for this phone. When it came out the bootloader was looked at as a obstacle that couldn't be overcome....we now have root, themes, custom ROM's and overclocking... Pretty much everything people look for when they want to mod... only thing we are missing is custom kernels (CMod) which would be awesome... but not a deal breaker. Aliasxerog on twitter is working on developing a new init.. So hope for the bootloader hasn't been given up either.
The best ones in my opinion are fission and liberty. Hey both have an app that allows for many easy customization options

Not even that close. Yet.
I actually came over from the Samsung Captivate. I do miss the wonders of custom kernels, but frankly, Liberty gives me everything I want from my X, so I've come to realize the locked bootloader is not a big deal. If they crack it, great. If not, I'm sure the devs will keep cranking out amazing tweaks. You can also find some good info on X ROM's over at droidforums.net. Good community here. I don't regret my switch to the X one bit.
