Kernels. - Droid 2 General

http://phandroid.com/2011/03/20/mot...ey-leaked-by-developer-custom-roms-to-follow/

I just read about this. Very exciting stuff. Maybe we can actually get a full 2.3 Gingerbread ROM.

Very exciting. Custom kernals on the way?

Hopefully custom EVERYTHING on the way!!!!
This will also mean no more having to bootstrap (mad props to koush for making it though!)

I have been really getting upset about my locked bootloader lately and I REALLY hope that this is the fix!
I want customization for my D2!
Awesome news

god has walked the earth

If this is true, would it be true for the droid 2 global as well?

Since I have another year and a half with my D2 I am so happy to see this. Especially after playing with CM7 on my Nookcolor. Not that I'm really complaining about fission and apex; they both do a nice job with the limitations in place but I miss CM from my D1.
Assuming the dev's brick their phones trying to make it work; this is nothing but the best news this year (enough to even make me register finally)

Unfortunately, it looks like it doesn't work.

his last tweet about gingerbread on the droid x was "CM7 booted on the DX? well i'll be... the new from-source sensors *mostly* work, boot process needs to be refined and usb service rewritten"
im assuming it will get done soon(well i hope so at least)

I dunno about the original statement (although its not that hard to believe they woudln't want to...)
But cvpcs just recently started working with the cyanogen team, and since he had been doing GEM for the Droid lineup, he took it upon himself to do a cyanogen build for the X.

Latest system version.

Is 2.3.20 the latest system version for the D2? If its not is it worth upgrading and re-rooting?
Sent from my Droid 2 running Apex 1.4.1
You can't upgrade until motorola decides to OTA, which you won't receive if you're rooted.
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
Gotcha, thanks for answering my noob question. Now going to look up OTA.

This is just a rumor, but I read that the DX might get 2.3 soon. IF its true, that could mean the d2 wouldn't be far behind.
Once again, THIS IS JUST A RUMOR I HEARD, so don't put too much stock in it

Supposing that happened...I would have to un-root to get it. Then would re-rooting from a new system version be possible? Or would we have to wait for a new root to come out.

Well luckly I just found out I have an early upgrade available, and my new every two in 6 months, so ILL GET GINGERBREAD ONE WAY OR THE OTHER!!! Lol
Sent from my DROID2
yeah, P3Droid, the first person to report on this, said the D2G and DX might be seeing updates, he said that moto considers the D2 to the "red headed step-child" or something like that and wont be seeing updates, he is a very reputable person and isnt like nenelod who was trolling us, when he says it, its probably true
That's just depressing. I just got my D2 and opted for instead of D2G thinking it would have some more love. Guess I should have done more research. At least we have some good Devs. I helped my friend root his Devour and they are really hurting for ROMs.

Buggy Cupcake 1.5 ROM

Enyo said:
I finally found a cupcake 1.5 SDK And actually, it boots. I'm shocked.
Its slow as fu**. The launcher is so old (if anyone knew of the gray launcher that you have to slide up (it was ditched in 2.1))
Even though, its old, I'm still going to release it. Its a look in the past and play around. I used jts GPS fix kernel and yea, GPS does not work (well its on 1.5 so nothing works anyway, remember the G1)
Ill release it soon. Its fun, slow, market is so old (black and white old) and won't update to the newest market.
I know its not necessary, but I wanted to port all versions of android to the fascinate. Who needs new? Why not flash back in time 2 years ago, cupcake was the biggest hit and phones like the moment (that had a arm v6 processor) were treated like dual core phones we have today. The G1 Also was high end back then with its
"Fastest processor (456MHz) in a mobile phone"
-Engadget
Or the moment had the
"Fastest phone ever" -Sprints Slogan.

not sure if serious or trolling hard
I keep seeing all these teenage girls with Droids now and they're like, "what's the bfd? iphone and android have like, the same apps?" I just wish all these new adopters could see this version of Android and the app selection. They'd really appreciate how far the platform has come. I'm still blown away by gingerbread and i had crazy high expectations for ICS and it still blew me away. I will probably flash this just for nostalgia's sake. Thanks enyo!

Do you know who the people are? Is there somewhere we can go to check on how they are doing? Surely our heroes are discussing their progress somewhere.
I (along with others, I'm sure) would like to be kept in the loop--that's all.

Is the reason we can't sbf back to an earlier version because of a locked bootloader? If so is there a way to repack the older sbf with the new signatures? Enabling us to go to a rootable version.
