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

Nexus One Root/unroot and space pls help

Ok fellas! Im new to this world of android just bought a newsu one last night Its used and rooted. I installed bunch of apps and after a bit it gave me an alert of low space/memory. Never had this with my x10 . so i was wondering may be its cus o the root if yes? Do u recmnd unrooting to clear space? And in case of unrooting any help /guide would be much appreciated.
Also i saw the update alert ast night fo 2.2.1 but when i tried to update it it wa stuck on a black screen with a android(green guy) and a exclamation mark. so i r/s the phone again and ignore the update anyhelp. please...
Thanks a bunch.

The ROM would effect the lack of space, but having root shouldn't. It more likely the apps though.
Just try moving some apps to your SD (menu> settings> applications> manage applications... sort by size [menu key], then select an app. In each app there's an option to move to SD. Some will move, some won't)
There's plenty of discussions on the update, but it's probably failing because you're not stock...

So what should i do to get the update ..get the phone unroot??

First, decide if you want the update, or if you want a custom ROM...
I've not tried the update, so I can't make any recommendations.

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 ...
TIA

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

Droid 2 Bootstrapper makes the phone reboot. when you go to install it...unknown sources on, as well as USB debugging.

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
Boot into clockwork
Install lexlight without wiping
Install porter again without wiping
It's a long process but it should work.

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

Help for noob!

Hello!
I recently rooted my Desire Z because of the sense restarting issue on the official gb rom. Started off ok with Virtuous Sense but it started randomly restarting the phone quite often - a few times a day. Tried fresh wipe with no apps, no luck. So installed old official 1.84 Froyo (not greedy, just want a working phone with Sense) rooted by rmk. I still get the same problem.
Pretty much ruled out a rogue app.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks in advance.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

So it's the whole phone restarting ? Could be a loose battery. Try wedging a little bit of paper (perhaps folded a few times ) in between the top end of the battery and the case, to try and make sure it keeps contact.
Sent from my Desire Z running CM7.

Thanks for the reply. The battery seems tight and it's only started happening since I rooted though.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

I had this happen every day before I rooted. It has happened after from time to time but mostly on Sense-based ROMs.
I don't know if it's coincidental but at least for me on MIUI and CM it seems to happen less frequently (maybe once every second week).

hey bro that used to happen to me alot too
in my experience it only happened to me on the original rom and on cyanogen 7 rom. try the wiping everything and using different type of rom like maybe miui or something that is not sense to see if it helps.
hope i could help

Thanks for the replies. Have done a clean wipe of virtuous sense and it has yet to restart. If it does, I will take your suggestions and try a completely different Rom - though I will miss friendstream!
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Nope. Keeps happening. Gonna try miui but surely there must be something I'm doing wrong here. Open clockwork, choose Rom and select clear data, cache and davik. Anything else required?

you first flash the rom and then wipe data, cache & dalvik?
...i would suggest to wipe before you flash the rom
and you could also use superwipe (flash it through recovery):

In Clockwork, you make the selection to flash the ROM, then it asks if you want to wipe. But the wipe actually does occur before the ROM flash. That is what the OP is talking about.

ah ok... so he doesn´t boot into recovery and wipes manually sry for misunderstanding, but superwipe is a good idea anyway....

Thanks for replies. Yes, wipe takes place before rom install. Installed miui.us. Very nice, but same problem. There must be something I've done. Anybody any ideas?

The only other thing I do when installing a fresh rom is fix permissions in rom manager... worth a try I guess

Which version of cw recovery do you use? you could try to install a older one (3.0...)
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

I use the newest version. 5.0.2.7 I think.
Did the fix permissions thing and no crash so far. Will repost tomorrow see how it goes.
Many thanks to everyone for all the suggestions.

Aaaarrrggghhh! Worked fine all day. Put it in my pocket when I got home from work. Took it out, pressed the power button and it turned on! It only ever happens when it's turned off. I've never had it reset when in use.
Any other suggestions?

The updater-script probably has a reboot command. Let it reboot and freeze, then reseat the battery. Hold Vol down and press power to boot into bootloader. Then boot into recovery and flash the first time kernel.

Alright ill give it a try and let you know how it goes

Did you read through the whole thread? Apparently the working version is posted by someone else towards the end of the thread-the one posted in the op has issues...

I noticed he dropped a newer version than the one posted in the OP of that thread on Oct 28. Try that one maybe? Have you read the entire thread. Most of the time people post fixes as they're found.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Yea i read the entire thread and i tried the fixed versions too and still nothing

Well, I have no idea then. Are you using the first time kernel or something else? The idea of the first time kernel is to get over some roadblocks and allow you to then flash a kernel designed for daily use.

Ohh I didnt know that
Im still running the kernal you gave me
