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?

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

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.

I wouldn't think so. It seems to be an HDPI rom. I don't know if I would like it on the Aria tho. I've messed with it a bit on the N1 and my buddy ditched it for CM, its a major battery and resource hog.

I haven't had a contract in years. Personally, I prefer to stay off-contract, as I can't afford AT&T rate plans. If I want a new phone, I buy it outright.
Ok I was thinking to myself & reading through all the forums & thinking the only thing stopping us from rocking out froyo/Gingerbread action on are samsung Fascinate's is the kernel issue right ?
off the beaten track but need to read to understand the train of thought:
Well being a former 2 week droid X owner & me being the modder I am I rooted it & as many of you Know the droid X has a locked bootloader but that has not stopped a well known android developer by the name of Jrummy to Develop a app to Overclcok the Droid X even with the locked bootloader but still the system is reading that the phone is still running a 1ghz speeds
Main Idea :
Well I was thinking why cant a more experienced dev than myself as I just started out as a developer a more experienced dev develop a app along the same lines to trick are fascinates into running Froyo/Gingerbread roms but still using the kernel we currently are using I am guessing the kernels might need to be tweaked but I think this is possible I believe if a more experienced dev contacted Jrummy he would give the source code to them to develope off of I am not sure but pretty sure he has it @ GITHUB

Actually he is half right. Punk.kaos currently has froyo and ginger running on the eris? He also apparently had froyo booting on the fascinate as well. And there is no source for the eris for either? Any clarification on this would prove to be very educational for all....
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
It's a nice thought, and one day we might see it. One thing is YES GB as well as FROYO have been seen booting on the Galaxy S phones but they have been GSM based phones not Verizon CDMA phones which have a totally different system writes.
Best bet would be to check on the IRC channels and see whats going on there, and see how things progress, great idea but not anytime in the near future, welcome to Samsung.
Cheers.

I came from the eris to the fascinate, and yeah there are now a ton of eris roms running froyo on the 2.6.29 kernel. And as I understand it, kaos is also working on gingerbread for the eris as well, and has a gb rom running (tho it still has problems). But to get to the point where the eris is at now, as far as it being able to run froyo perfectly with no bugs or glitches, it took a pretty long damn time. Its not nearly as simple as fooling the system into thinking that we're running a 2.6.32 or .35 kernel, unfortunately. There were tons of things that didnt work at first. In fact, almost nothing worked at first. But kaos and the other devs kept at it, and with each new release, they'd fix 1 or more of those things broken. Of course, they had help from a bunch of hero devs that were simultaneously working on getting froyo to work on the cdma hero.
My point is, however, that our devs are already working on this, but right now there are still some huge issues that make the roms/kernels far from ready for public release. But there is no reason to fear, as the devs will continue to do their thing, and even if samsung puts off releasing froyo for another year, I promise you that before too long the devs will have found a way to give us what we want.. namely, froyo and gb!

it isnt exactly close to a released rom yet... they got the kernal to boot...
still work to do im sure... but i just started to monitor IRC today...
looks like i'll be in irc a little more often now.
Birdman was getting the FIRST build cooked last night, I'm pretty sure there will have to be plenty of testing & fixes probably no where near a stable release. Just be patient, asking "Where is Gingerbread?!" Is not going to make it get here any sooner.
In IRC Birdman said he could have a rom in a day...if he had that much time. It'll get done when it gets done. I also heard that the aosp stuff will be able to be ported to gingerbread.
I imagine the build he's working from is based on the Nexus S, which would be AOSP from the start.
May not be the case however.
Which channel is that discussion happening in? I'd like to follow it, myself.

Yup, we should all support our devs with encouragement and donations so that they don't jump ship to another phone. It seems like there are much fewer devs for the Fascinate than other phones so it would suck if they moved to the new stuff hitting Verizon soon.

I agree with the support-the-devs sentiment, but the only imminent releases on Verizon look to be an Evo rehash, a Desire Z rehash, and the iPhone. Given the latter, I wouldn't be surprised if Verizon lagged on true high-end Android releases for a while.

There is no other version of gingerbread. The only skinned version I've seen is the PlayStation phone and that hasn't been released. No altered form of gingerbread exists right now.
Yea, so now the Defy has CM7 and MIUI. Again, using 2nd init to run the ROMs. They pretty much have the two best ROMs IMO. If they can do this for the Defy, do you think that once Kholk has his bootloader bypass method all figured out we could also get CM7 and MIUI ported to the Atrix?

Yea, we all know that. But do you think it'l be ported? It takes developers with a lot of time, Korean developers did all the ports for the Defy. I'm not sure if we have Korean developers...lol I'm sure someone will port one or the other, but it could be a while. It takes a ton of work matching CM7 or MIUI to our phones.
Well afaik, if atrix gets officially supported by cm7. Miui will support it
I can't wait for devs to start pouring in here. Hopefully our device will have as much development as much as the Samsung and HTC devices.

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
