Can we just flash this and do nothing else or does this require a whipe or something? Also sorry for the noob question but why do we need to update the market?

thanks for the heads up.

From what I can tell, the icons are all new. Although maps is older version and will get updated via Market and icon will be replaced back to normal. Other than that, not much difference.

It has the Google search app and the updated Voice Search.

Would love to know why there is a Twitter client in the gapps package.

does anyone know where i can get GAPPS for CM6?....i just rooted about 30 mins ago and im totally lost and every link is broken......i really need some help LOL....i know that sounded desprate

we have moved on to cm7, can still get the cm6 gapps at http://goo-inside.me/

wow thats real overwhelming to me LOL....should i just flas CM7?.....would that be a better option for me? (and is everything included with CM7?)....sorry for all the questions...did my homework on rooting, but all the stuff that comes after root im not so keen on.....thank alot

can you tell me which one i need for my particular ROM?>
HDPI
MDPI
MDPI-TINY
MDPI-TEGRA

hdpi
cm7 nightlies have 4g now, they are working very well and have everything that cm6 had, there are a few minor issues such as dialer wakelock, titanium not auto restoring, slow pc to phone transfers

ok cool....but im having a problem....i downloaded CM7 onto my PC and dropped it into my SDcard....went to the bootloader and selected RECOVERY....but its not taking me to the Clockwork MOD....its just giving me the option to REBOOT, REBOOT BOOTLOADER, AND HBOOT USB..........did i do something wrong?....this is the first time im flashing a ROM over another
P.S. Do i have to delete Cm6 thats in my SDcard, then drop CM7 into the SDcard.....then try to go into recovery?....im not really sure

if you mean like Gingerbread mySense, i believe HTC/T-Mobile hasnt said anything. If you want gingerbread with regular Sense, a port if being worked on. If you want plain Google AOSP Gingerbread, try RoyalGinger, or CM7.

do u know will it be an OTA update for it?

Ya we will get it but that depends on HTC/TMo as they ha e to bolt it up with useless BS that none needs. This could be in months but why wait for that? We been had GB port in MT4G from months now? Look in to current CM7 project as we are using AOSP2.3.3 port now, mostly all use it.

NOTE: This is taking you have already rooted your phone with S-OFF.
First of all update your CWMR to 3.0.0.6 as in long run it will be better for you. Follow any of the single instruction bellow as Drew's is easiest which maybe better for you if it fails then try my is little complex but it will work.

Once you have done that now you are ready to download rom/gapp from the repository and flash it via recovery which you installed above.

GApp> http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/gapps/gapps-gb-20110120-signed.zip
NOTE: When you are downloading you can pick NB (Nightly Build) the higher the number the newest it is as you can see the date. Then download the GApp which is the Google Apps. If you don't know how to flash it once this is done post back ill give further instructions.

AOSP-Like Gingerbread Rom (D2/DX?)

Is there anything like Fission for the Droid 2 or Droid X available that's based on 2.3.3? AngDroid has disappeared and I haven't heard anything from Team Defuse regarding updates. Makes me regret donating. I'm seeing a few new Gingerbread roms popping up for both the Droid 2 and the Droid X but they've all got Blur included. Any suggestions?
In before "be patient."

Take a look at some of his roms. You can flash one then flash the d2todx converter found on droidforums. I've been running the broodcomb rom with no issues.

Are they compatible with the GB leak?
Or do I have to .sbf?
Im kinda getting bored of stock GB and wanna try something new with out having to .sbf (lazy lol)
And since there hasn't been any word from the devs here id figured some one can point me in the right direction ...

if you look at the website they have three that are GB based. those three should work when flashed after the gb leak.

Working on it. Making sure this stuff works first...then i'll ask permission
EDIT: This PC I have has to go tonight--so i'm going to have to work on this later tonight. Time to go drop off a previously b0rked Windows box. $$ though . I'll get back on this as soon as I get home! Also, I am no dev. I'm simply trying these out and reporting my findings, to help the dev's out hopefully. I might throw a quick tutorial together even though i'm sure someone else will beat me to it
If anything, i'll ask what it would take to get this stuff working on the D2. Sort of be the guinea pig of getting his DX GB ROM's to work on the D2.

Thnx

This is not working very well at all. The phone has rebooted on me several times. I'm having issues with the market, and Droid 2 Bootstrapper. It seems to reboot when I go to install apps...SBF'ing, then trying again. Maybe clearing data after flashing DXtoD2GB.zip, but before the first boot will help?

You should wipe everything before flashing and mount system just in case
Try that

Boot into rom
Let all of your apps install

Install lexlight without wiping
Install porter again without wiping

I'm running brrodcomb on a D2. It works great. The only two things I've notice are apparently the charge light and you cant add shortcuts to the home screen by long pressing on them in the app drawer. you have to go though the home screen.
lol sbf'ing is so second nature at this point for me

So nobody has tried drewgaren's other ROM's for the DX?
...and those were the instructions you used to get everything working properly? I couldn't install ANY app without the phone rebooting on me.

I've tried all three and the above method stopped the reboots. I liked the stock launcher and stock look of GB so I stuck with broodcomb.

So can we get a step by step on how to do it with the files also? I can d/l the rom from his site

Didn't work for me on a newly rooted EVO 4G with CWM & everything else stock. It looked like it ran, gave a bunch of successful messages, but then just sat there for an hour with the "start backup" button greyed out until I closed it. Did you have to update or install anything new to make it work?
Thanks.

No,I just installed it and ran it,I didn't have any issues.If you are having problems,go to that link I posted,to report bugs and ask any questions you might have to the developer.Thanks guys.

Yeah, I'm running into the same problem.
What Rom are you running, and does it only happen under certain conditions?
I'm running
LiquidSmooth Rom (4.2.2 - It seems super stable, only 2 total problems with it)
CodeFireX .62 or .64, I don't remember
NOS Tweak Package v0.4.5_r1 (was having same problems before this; it actually improved my battery life somehow )
HTC MyTouch 4g/Glacier (Obviously, since I'm posting here, but I figured I'd say so just in case)
Anyways, the problem I'm running into is that I can't get the backlight to stay off after locking the phone.
I lock it, then after ~7seconds the backlight comes back on.
Also, this has happened on each 4.2.x rom I've tried
I read somewhere that messing with the settings/app killers can help, but no change from that. I've also tried setting my backlight to all the way off, as well as full, and the brightness doesn't change while the screen is off.
I can try to make a LogCat of it later, though.

Ehh, I am too really - everyone's gotta start somewhere though!
Anyways, what it means is that you can't just take the nos_whatever.zip file and flash it from the recovery, you have to actually open the app called Terminal Emulator (can be found on the market, needs root) and install it from there.
The instructions on how are all in the readme inside the .zip file, just follow those and you'll be fine.

I was having the same 2 issues beforehand (Backlight coming on while the phone is locked, and cell signal dropping after I miss a call until I turn airplane mode on->off)
Also, I noticed that at least in my case my phone seems much less likely to turn the backlight back on if I'm not doing anything in the background such as listening to music. I'm pretty sure that's only been working today though, not sure why...

And install 4ext before you reinstall just download 4ext recovery controlled.apk and flash it with that app very easy and the u.I is better

Hmm, it looks interesting - and having a touch recovery would help remove a major pain in the rear - but I'm completely broke and I can't seem to find the list of differences between the paid controller version and the free updater; would you still recommend the free version?

I'll be getting a little bit of money soon, so I'll just buy it when that comes in.
Anyways, I just did a full system wipe (each of CWM's wipes, as well as the DarkUnicorn wipe script ((since it was on my SdCard already)) but I'm still having the backlight issue.
Haven't even installed a single app yet; still trying to connect to the store to get TitaniumBackup.
Any other ideas?

Also, back on the topic of this thread, are there any fixes for 4.2 roms turning the backlight back on after being locked?
It's a huge battery drain, and my biggest problem at the moment; any ideas would be most appreciated

lol actually I found out the problem. After I extracted it, ES File Explorer made a folder on my sdcard called "sdcard" with the install file in it. And I was stupid and ignored the fact that it should be on the root of the sdcard. Whoops lol.
