Why is there no cm7 rom or gingerbread rom for the droid 2, it seems theres one for every other device except the droid 2 and droid x, i was just wondering
I am pretty sure that CM7 uses a custom kernel on their roms and as you know D2 and DX are locked up
oh, that sucks for us, but what about gingerbread im so ready to get a custom gingerbread rom...im tired of all these themed 2.2.1 roms
me too! is it just me or do some of these roms slow down on you after a while?
I know some devs don't want to release a gb rom until after moto releases its official gb update
It is my understanding that Gingerbread would require a change in kernal that can't be done due to it's locked bootloader. Though I could be wrong on that.
A bit related, but what about 2.2.2 rom that has all the security fixes?
Questions belong in the General section not in Android Development. I hate being that guy but we need to try and keep things organized. It helps people answering and helps those with questions get answered and have the answer in a convenient location.

sorry figured this had to do with development
GB will run just fine on the current kernel, this has already been discussed by devs on this very forum. Also, yes there is a wait for an official GB version from MOTO. Finally, CM7 is almost stable on DX (which can then be easily ported to D2). Blackdroid, from what I hear, has a fully functional GB ROM for DX, which will be ready once he sorts out some boot issues (it only boots once) (again, this will also easily be ported to D2).
The other reason it's taking so damn long is that the phones are locked down, making booting customs ROMs a difficult task in some cases, and a lot of work has to go into getting them stable and fully functional
Sweet!

Where did you here this? CM is pretty open about the fact that they don't develop for Droid 2/X/Pro because of the locked bootloader. The current CM7 ROM is for the OG Droid, not the Droid X.
I too am very curious about where you got the information about a semistable CM7 rom. I don't know if you're posting that just to get everyone excited for something we all thought wasn't possible or if we're (the people who didn't believe it was possible) just behind the times.
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
It's been posted on the CM7 developers twitter that he is working on a version to be compatible with the DX.
But it should also be noted that he said it should theoretically work on the D2, but there won't be support because he doesn't have one to test it on.
His twitter name is cvpcs.
Very cool. Some one, or a collective bunch, needs to get that dev a dx and then I bet we would have a nice stable cm7 rom. Mmm, one can dream.

Maybe it's not such a dream anymore since the bootloader's security has been cracked
bootloaders been cracked? not quite...it was just nenolod trolling.

Oh well. I'm seeing what I can do to drop Motorola anyway...that Thunderbolt is looking pretty awesome! I know a few people with it and they're getting 30Mbps+ down & up speeds in the Minneapolis area.
From my understanding, HTC put a locked bootloader on the Thunderbolt as well. I may be wrong though, but if it is the case, that keeps me from going to it.

From what i read, the thunderbolt was locked but wasnt encrypted, so people already managed to crack it. The DX/D2/D2G/DPro all have locked bootloaders that are encrypted with a 1024 bit key, which is damn near impossible to break.

Umm..so far all the Gingerbread roms that are out are still having some issues...low in- call volume, no hardware acceleration(videos), no flashlight...etc...and aren't quite fully functional as Froyo is just yet..which is perfectly understandable...
I was just wondering if your up coming rom will still have those issues....or if you are going to blow our minds with a fully functional Gingerbread rom for the Fasciante...

Completely understand your frustration. Unfortunately, if the devs don't have a full, stable source drop to work with, we really can't hold the current crop of common /generally recognized GB issues against them. Heck, they're probably more frustrated about it than the rest of us
OP, I look forward to the upcoming release and maturation of your project!
Another option would be terrific, but good luck with the SD card!

My point is that no legit devs post coming soon ****...they work on something then release it...hype is just lame and time after time these threads end in disappointment or the rom just doesn't offer anything worth a hype thread

I do know one of my roms will have 2.4 Ice Cream when google releases the SDK. But most are AOSP coupled with Touchwiz. They will also come with my version of The JIT Compiler. They will also come with my version of build.prop tweaks. And more.

That could work, but at the moment I'm trying to rip the kernel from the SDK since the stock honeycomb and ICS kernel versions are different.
Btw, if any developer who knows what they're talking about wants to help me, shoot me a PM bro!
I can help to test when you have a decent beta ready.
Seems you should just wait for source and skip SDK ports. I think the Cyanogen team knows what they are talking about... Too much of a headache for poor performance.
I would love to be proved wrong... I'm not a dev, but I do develop apps and abhor using the sdk emulators. I also know the HC sdk port to the Nook Color never got off the ground. And that was a flexible device to work on...

I'm not too concerned about cm, unless it's 7, or higher. 6 wasn't particularly great, from what I've heard. And, if you/we can figure out how to bake the call to ticker api into it. A custom kernel, for no other purpose than over clock and custom boot animations would be awesome. That and true scripting ability, instead of having to use init.d as a backdoor. If you decide to work on it, let me know how I can help.

I'm with Tx on this. Surprisingly, I'm content with my phone right now. I would like to change my lock screen, but as far as the ROM, it's running smoothly and I don't think CM6 would be any better of an experience for me. CM7 would be nice, but I've already convinced myself our phone will never get gb so it's no big deal.
I would enjoy changing my boot animation though, so I'm all for a custom kernel! Between you and trailblazer, my phone is now what it should have been when released by Samsung and Verizon. Thanks for all the work!
Cm7 is possible. I used it on my gf (hauwei) phone (begore i400) built up from eclair. I didn't do it but it was accomplished. Buggy though. I would rather have functionality over all the fuss though. I'm still on it

How long does it usually take to build a kernel? Sounds like a great plan.
It would be great to see some updates in kernels. Being able to over or underclock or change boot animation would be fantastic. Last phone was OG droid which was easy as he'll to flash kernels, ROMs, boot animations, and over/underclock. I miss that part of it but don't miss alot of the bugs, and lack of RAM with it. This phone does run much better and am happy with it at this point.

i see in the .config file where the ticker is and screen res. but source is huge and has stupid (not stupid) code names. ours is "garnett". yet in the menu config for kernel there are device options to build for "garnett_delta" and another i can remember off head. we are also in need of a working [initramfs], i found them once in our sources but i have already started from scratch 4 or 5 times. i had one successful compile yet no output. my next attempt will be tonight and since have gotten only a few errors that ive looked into but dont understand.
Update (patch) Kernel
from what i have read i can try and update the kernel itself to a 2.6.32.59
and have read in order to update to a 2.6.35 (GB)+ i would have to downgrade (or start?) from 2.6.32 (linux sources only go back to 2.6.32.25 or something (this option would take me awhile to just read about lol)

We have the kernel source and aosp source for ICS (not JB)(obviously) so why hasn't anyone made an aosp Rom? It seems even other devices get AOSP roms a lot faster. Is there a problem with porting AOSP to the S3 phones in general (US VERSIONS) or does no dev really care for AOSP and is happy with TouchWiz? I don't know, and I'm just curious. Just to be clear, I'm not asking any devs to get on it or work on it or rush it, just pure curiosity. Thanks. Hoping some devs could reply to clear some things up.

You can't do that without achieving AOSP. ICS AOSP is helpful, but everyone wants JB.
The JB AOSP source code isn't out and when it is, the closed-source RIL is the biggest obstacle to making it work.

You can't have AOSP ROMS without the AndroidOpenSource for 4.1, which isn't out for 2 more weeks. And for 4.0, the devs still need time.
someone else mentioned that a lot of the devs might have held out for the 32gb models which were hard to come by opening week. the 16gb versions came out first. anyway, there are a lot of great devs on board, and not just historically samsung devs. htc devs like myn will be pumping out roms soon enough.
i won't lie though... some jellybean love would be beautiful.

Yeah, I hope by the time the SGS4 rolls around in a year that 32GB will be the new low-end, with 64GB the step up. I really hope we don't stagnate here -- or worse: go backwards -- just because of this cloud crap.
My guess would be that most of the devs have the international version. They have had AOSP roms for weeks. Not to mention cm9, aokp, and about to get miui4
My guess would be that the phone is just getting released in the US and maybe the devs are waiting for 4.1 source so we can have a Jelly Bean AOSP rom instead of spending so much time to create an ICS AOSP. That doesn't make much sense to me, why waste time on ICS when JB is coming out in couple of weeks.
Can't most efforts on ICS apply to JB, or do things like project butter really change up the porting?
I imagine Google Play on stock/root or CM9 would be a lower-hanging fruit.

Try and just take it explorer on Windows and see how far you get. It's not as simple as just deleting touchwiz.

There isn't AOSP because of posts like this. You probably delayed it a day or two.

Now now, this isn't Half Life. But seriously, I don't mind waiting for AOSP because TouchWiz has a lot of cool software features and I can always flash an ICS theme.
