I would but I don't have any of the problems you stated and it's a completely stock phone.

Gps has been flawless with the new
modem. I have no complaints.

Anyone who says that the bug doesn't exist is either in denial our has the very specific usage pattern that prevents it from showing up or thinks that gps is working when in fact they're using network location.

guys with flawless GPS's. Do you leave your wifi on and connected? That was the only time my GPS failed me (after about a day of leaving wifi on my GPS would not lock at all and required a reboot)

On 2.1 (stock and custom ROMS) GPS was just about worthless for me. This past week I did a factory reset and flashed back to Stock 2.1 DI18 and got the GPS to work. I've run about 4 or 5 different 2.2 betas now and GPS keeps getting better. On Quantum DK17 w/ DK17 modem GPS gets a very accurate lock in seconds. I do not use the network location feature.
@houkah - I haven't noticed a difference in my GPS stability/performance with wifi enabled or disabled. I've used it both ways on the 2.2 betas and all seems well.

im on a 2.2 beta rom and i have no gps issues at all. i get a lock in no time

I've been running DK17 for a little over 36 hours now. I have yet to see any evidence of the cache bug. I've used Maps and Navigation several times yesterday and this morning without any issues. My WiFi is always on but I leave network location turned off. I get locks outdoors within half a second and within 2-6 meters. Indoors takes a little longer and is less accurate.
On any of the 2.1 ROMs, GPS would work fine for a day, then I would have to reboot to refresh the cache.

I'm glad everyones GPS is magically working all the sudden, on 2.2 mine will not capture one sat, indoors or out, fresh boot or not, wifi on or not. On 2.1 it had a accuracy of 70-90m at best outdoors.

Which ROM are you using now? I think this phone is very particular about how things are flashed to it. I've read several threads about people jumping through all these hoops to get GPS working.
I'm running the ACS version of Froyo right now. I'll lay out the steps I used to flash it in case it might help someone get it working or figure out why it's not.
I was running Baked Snack 1.6 when I started.
1) I flashed the DK17 modem through Odin.
2) Next I put a fully charged battery in and booted into recovery to wipe data, cache, and dalvik.
3) While in recovery, I flashed the acs froyo rom and reboot.
4) On first boot, I let the phone sit for a few, then reboot again and log into my account to sync contacts and download all my apps. I did not restore data from my previous ROM other than game data for Asphalt and Angry Birds.

I'm well aware of the GPS cache bug, as I've experienced it myself. As a part time delivery driver, I can't tell you how annoying it is to have to reboot the phone while going down the road looking for an address. I am simply stating that since flashing DK17 almost 2 days ago, I have yet to encounter it again. All scenarios that triggered the issue before have failed to reproduce it now.
Also remember, this is not the final release.

I flashed DK17 yesterday, and GPS has been great so far. I didn't even have to do any of the trickiness that was necessary for me to even get GPS in DJ29. Now I get a time to first fix of 3-5 seconds and 7+ satellites in less than 10 seconds. I have had my wifi on since reflashing yesterday and haven't seen any cache issues, yet. I'll keep testing and see if it gives me any trouble.

GB Impressions

Ok, aside from the bootloop issue upon install, I have to say so far, not bad. The blur aspect is definitely better, however I dont care for it any more now than I did before. The color scheme is quite visually appealing. Very much like lucid steel theme for fission. I would prefer the scheme from the fission gb theme but this is absolutely an improvement over the stock froyo appearance.
Overall system speed seems to be somewhat improved, and there is a big issue w/ launcher pro which sucks. with launcher pro there is some heavy lag in transitions and the general feel of the phone is kind of clunky and choppy. Without launcherpro, phone tends to run quite smooth. no status bar controls kinda sucks, and the reduced screen density w/o launcher pro is also kind of a downer, but overall im not going to complain. Its definitely progress.
One big downside I noticed after 2 days is battery life is very hit or miss. On fission 2.6.1, i was making it easily 1.5-2 days on a single charge. Yesterday I made it home with 40% left, today I was at 10% when i left work. I can attribute this heavily to Blur, but this is definatley somethign that a new fission or UD build should fix

I have to say that since the devs seemed to have abandoned the Fission project, I haven't looked back since upgrading to GB Blur. it's snappy and attractive and while it still has alot of the blur bloat i hate, root + ti backup makes things a little more manageable.
so far, i've managed to remove teh global unplug, task manager, the blur text messenger, backup asssistant and city id. my battery life is probably slightly better than it was on fission, depending on what i'm doing (games seem to destroy it).
we still have to recognize that this IS a leaked version and there are still some misses with the build. data services randomly failing, inability to make calls/send texts and the weird keyboard backlight issue. other than that, i've been pretty pleased.

I just upgraded yesterday and I am very happy with it

Seems he indicated he was looking at it, but made no promises of an updated ROM on teamdefuse's website, twitter, or this forum...
Did you see something else where he said he was specifically working on GB Fission?

I think GB for the D2 makes some major improvements, but I can't give up liberty for it. Just have to wait and see if Liberty GB comes out.

yeah i thought that topic came up when the sdk was made available, but nothing ever really came to light. i feel like after p3droid's recent tweets/posts, etc., the landscape has been drying up.

I got the impression from what p3 said that the devs were under some fire as google seems to be having second thoughts about open source, as well as unpaid tethering raising some eyebrows with teh carriers, which is understandable.
Hopefully once things get ironed out we'll see some ovens refire and some cool stuff gettin rolled out.
I'm still kind of split and definitely agree that gaming on gb is a battery killer in a huge way. Overall battery life is good, however i've had a few days where it just sucked down. Ive been off charge since 6am, 12 hours later with minimal-moderate useage i'm at 70%, however there have been days where I have used the phone way less and been getting charge warnings by 2pm.
Hopefully the official release will solve the rest of these issues.

All I can say is that I hope some custom ROMs are available for Droid 2 Gingerbread soon, because what I have now is buggy to the point of being frustrating. Besides being a memory hog, I sometimes lose my data connection for no apparent reason and my keyboard backlight doesn't always work. Also, even when I do have a data connection, my phone has problems loading web pages much of the time.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that the screen sometimes randomly shuts off without warning.
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App

if you have an issue with the screen randomly shutting off try unchecked the in pocket detection setting. I found this was way to sensitive and would consistently shut my screen off in dimly lit areas.

yeah, battery life has become sketchy, like one day i'll make it through the day with 60% left with moderate useage, similar useage next day i'll be charging by noon. USB reboots have reared their ugly head in the last 48 hours to the point where im charging off of the wall outlet and seriously considering sbfing back to fission 2.6.1

To this point I haven't had any major problems whatsoever ...
Only thing is browser sometimes crashes ...batt life is amazing!
9hr shift on work barely drops to 70% with wifi always turned on moderate txt n web

SIgh WTF getting whitescreen ....cant get back to CWMR, tried every thing....wtf ..... is this bootlooping? NO MATTER WHAT I do can not get back into recovery.
I have a trick to acces any files but most of them seem corrupted? Im only guesing as there is now a "?" by the file icon.
I tried loading bootsrap recovery
phone appeared bricked. rebooted and again cannot get into recovery.
I laready had 2.3 rom ...did I miss something? IM usually pretty good on this stuff. Modded my hd2 and rooted my g2x no issues....what dee hell is dis sheot
(mods move if I am posting in wrong section)
SOB me having bad day...lol...just realised this is the dev thread not general...I suck .....POINTS!!!!!
EDIT:
AH HA!!!! I was able to get to CWMR by an interesting method! I had previusly DL mini task manager(took it off the market for some reason) and thats THE ONLY ap that was working!
so anyways in the info bar at top it was showing mini task coming up .... Somehow it was acting as a backup! (has any one else experienced this?) so I long tapped on bootstrap rec icon and voila! it asked if I wanted to go into bootstrap and of course I did and .....yes!!! thank you cwm i got to the recovery green screen!!
FIrst I tried Tpro recovery....would not work....tried loading bootstrapzip....nothing...so....I figure since all my shizzle is backed up through my google act I did a factory reset, wipe data, and redid the new GB hack.
VOILA! it loaded ! no bootloop! just had to re-register phone and accounts!
so I leave you with this narcissistic picture of myself....

Hey everyone,
I've been running GB and ZS for about a week now. The one thing that I noticed was that there isn't anywhere where you can turn off mobile data? Maybe I'm blind, but it's not in wireless and networks? Any ideas? If not, oh well. I still think I found something in GB that's keeping me from going back to 2.2. It's just as stable as 2.2 only faster! Anyways, cheers all!

General Info
It "worked", but don't set your expectations high (read the rest of the bullet points)
No hardware accleration (we knew this already)
I couldn't get a data signal (no 2G/3G), though it did see my AT&T SIM
Preferences/Settings are slim so I couldn't mess with APN settings to try to get data to work
Wifi will now connect (fixed in Build 2)
Couldn't test much at all due to no data connections working
Power button functionality was erratic. This seems to be fixed in Build 2.
Keyboard was actually very smooth
The OS became smoother after a few reboots, scrolling through windows felt Android 1.6ish, instead of being Windows Mobile 6ish
It shows a LOT of promise
Boots in about 5 seconds, shuts down in 1 second
Pictures of build 3 running on my Nexus S can be found here: http://uberamd.com/post/22200022691/build-3-nexus-s-boot-to-gecko
Changelog
Code:
Build 3:
- Code base from 4-27-2012
- Some tweaks made to get wifi working better (got some pages to load around 4-23-2012)
- Wifi now connects AND loads pages. This means that you can finally utilize the web browser and bundled apps.
Build 2:
- I now made it so the ROM can be flashed via CWM just like any Android ROM
- Code base from 4-12-2012
- Now connects to wireless (pages still won't load, looking into it)
Build 1:
- Initial release
- Restore via CWM "Backup/Restore"
Directions
Ensure you have ClockworkMod on your Nexus S with a unlocked bootloader
Boot into Android
Copy b2g_nexuss_uberamd_signed.zip to your devices SD card
Boot into recovery
(optional) create a backup of your current setup
Flash the b2g ROM
Reboot
Boom, B2G awesomeness
I tested it, and it works. It is a fresh B2G build for the Nexus S
Latest Download - Click Here!
Please do not use any version earlier than 2012-04-13! The earlier version is NOT flashable via CWM (it is a CWM backup archive).
About
These CAN now be flashed like any other Android ROM. Be sure to do a backup within CWM. You can always restore the CWM backup.
This ROM is compiled from official b2g sources, with occasionally modifications sprinkled in by me. Credit goes to those main b2g devs who are making awesome headway here!
These will be built and uploaded daily using the latest sources. The goal of this is to allow people to test B2G without having to setup a Linux build environment as well as download multiple gigabytes of code, and mess with udev. ulimits, and more.
You can follow any updates I have on this thread as well as the boot to gecko section of my website.

to add on, the reboot is insanely fast, and i really mean it. shutdown is instant. NOT even almost. Yes instant.

I'm quite impressed of how Boot to Gecko developed since it was announced. Although it has no hw acceleration it performs pretty well when scrolling through wondows. I hope that it will be developed to become something big.
What bothers me is that it wants an internet connection for apps like Cut The Rope - does that mean that it will need a permanent internet connection?
Edit: I tested it for half an hour and it only ate up only 8% of my battery.. wow.

I believe it takes/will-take advantage of HTML caching to store applications offline after they are used once.
And yeah for having no HW acceleration, thus using a lot of CPU, it really was light on the battery. I'll see if the build today fixes anything, it'll be up this afternoon.

Flashed it just now on my i9023. ignoring the bugs stated in the OP, all I can say is wow!
Even though it doesn't have HW acceleration, it runs pretty well...and almost instant on and INSTANT off...that's awesome!
Wasn't able to make calls or sms, but that'll be fixed at some point.
Really nice! When it's fully completed, I might even consider migrating

I tried it just now, and I must say it runs decently. It's exactly what I would expect on such an early stage.
I also found out you can access those pages it uses on your regular browser (homescreen.gaiamobile.org, sms.gaiamobile.org for example).
Also, if you long-press home you will get a 'recents' menu.

I'm assuming my i9023 wasn't able to get any signal because the baseband list didn't include the one for ICS.
Maybe you could add it in the next build? it's I9023XXKI1

Not Working: Sound, video acceleration, mic, camera. Overall the rom seems pretty smooth besides the main bugs of course. Make a backup if you flash. Wifi seems to be working fine and the guy in the other thread that said charging was messed up must of had a bad flash or something cause charging works just fine here

Yeah, dont keep it on your TouchPad. Apparently the guy in the other thread left it overnight and woke up to a dead TouchPad. I guess not charging when plugged in is a missing feature in this. Thats why its a preview though. Meant more for flashing it, playing with it for a bit then going back to whatever you had before.

From what I understand, no hardware acceleration (or at least not fully) so things like games/YouTube dont work, no sound, no mic, no camera and I guess it doesnt charge when plugged in. Probably a list of other issues as well.

I was still running into some minor glitches after flashing cm10, so I restored back to the 7/30 nightly, which is running just right for me.
The glitches are minor, and I would probably use this if my 7/30 build wasn't close to perfect.
Again, thanks to the cyanogen guys that have made this possible. I look forward to installing cm10 after a few of the rough edges are taken care off.

Idk man, shaffe.jr, is pretty much confirming my problem. When installing I FDR, formatted system and cache, installed, fixed permissions and booted. Just like I do with all fresh installs. I left it plugged in overnight, because it was showing a charge and I wanted to play with it more in the morning. I woke up with it still on, but showing 0 on battery. I thought that it couldn't be true, because charging symbol was still on. So I unplugged it, as soon as I took it out of the power input, it shut off and is now going through the whole mess of not recognizing charger. I know how to fix that (leave charger in anyways, and allow it to trickle charge slowly for many hours, then immediately boot to CWR).
If anyone else is noticing that problem, please speak up. I don't want this to happen to anyone else!
As far as smoothness, as someone stated in the Q&A, HW acceleration doesn't work. So, you're not going to experience project butter. There's pretty much no point in flashing this yet. I really regret not immediately reverting back to my backup.

For what I've seen , sound, mic and camera are not working. Hardware acceleration is partially working : global UI is a lot smoother, games are no so fast.
Battery seems to be charging : when plugged on AC percentage are going up.
Nevertheless, I will switch back to the last CM9 nightly.

hmm that is strange, mine has been plugged in since i flashed the rom and has not gone down any percentage.When i finally unplugged it for an hour or so and then plugged it back in it recharged normally.

Jelly bean its really fast and smooth I can't wait for sound and hardware acceleration fix

Mine working smooth and fast other than that was mention not working I am happy with its current performance. Congrats to all devs..

i see media codec added on the code. hope it gets merged.
meanwhile im still on the latest 0208 nightly.

Rom isn't smooth more when kernel 3.x coming. Frame buffer will work perfect only on Kernel 3.x

Just pointing out mine is also charging..and on touchstone. Thanks guys

So I was thinking of trying this out just to see what its like. All I do is wipe data, cache and dalvik, flash rom and gapps, then when I want to go back to cm9, restore my nandroid? When I restore my nandroid, do I have to factory reset then restore nandroid? I'm just asking because with my phone, there's more steps when going from one kernel to another. Don't know if that all applies here though.
Edit: never mind. Doing some research. Lol

When I flashed it I did a nandroid backup, formatted the system partition, flashed rom and gapps, wiped dalvik and cache partitions, fixed permissions then rebooted just to see what would happen, it booted no problem and nearly all of my apps ran fine except ICS Browser+ for obvious reasons, then restored backup and everything is working just the way I left it.
BTW I'm using TWRP 2.2.0 recovery which formats the partitions as it restores them, can't remember if CWM does that.

OK. I was watching a video where he used ACMEinstaller. Maybe if I don't want to go that route, I'll try our TWRP. Heard it was pretty nice anyway. I'm not sure if CWR formats partitions either.

Just to be sure, this IS based on the 3.0x kernel, correct?

Flashing this as soon as I get home!
Thanks!

Ok, so I've tried this rom out now. It's exciting to have something new to play with on this tab. haven't been running it for long.. just looked through (adjusted) some settings/ set up halo and notifications ribbon and what not. played some games (Words with friends--cause i'm an addict/ minion rush--aka despicable me). The games dropped frames... even the WWF animations.
it's all very good and your efforts are greatly appreciated.
i wanna be clear that i'm not in any way complaining. only reporting back a little. overall the rom is sluggish for now. so not a daily driver. but again very exited to have something new in development. and i know already that once you've figured everything out this will be a great rom to have. wish you had source already cause judging by what you've done without it, i know it'll be awesome.
Netflix opens, but would not play-- don't know what it's got to do with but it's just one of the issues i encountered.
and... no keyboard. I fired up XDA to add this comment, and there was no keyboard.
OK.. keep up the good work!
cheers.
Edit 2: so I began to suspect that much of what I was experiencing might have been due to the fact that I'd done a dirty flash. So do a clean install folks.
So I did a factory reset' and sure enough everything is running much much better.

ROM is running awesome. BTW the boot screen goes dark for about a minute. This is normal.

I have to say many thanks for this rom, it feels 100x better then the stock rom, even with the little kinks can ony get better.
again thank you very much for all your hard work and efforts.

Always wipe everything when moving from one version of android to another
always wipe everything before reporting bugs in a Dev thread

also mayb a small request, but is possible change huild.prop so the device is recognized as nexus 7.
my computer doesn't seem to pick up the device but it was fine when I used sero's rom.
thank you.

Request denied set up adb properly unless you are saying ums isn't working in windows? I will test on my wife's windows box I run Linux exclusively and it works there, in settings storage menu there are USB connection options you can try if you are having issues.
Thanks for all the feedback guys keep it coming I'll be working on cam today

Alright I have found some odd issues with audio on the 10/8 build. Sometimes I'd get either no audio on some apps (ie: Al Jazeera English Tablet) or really high pitch audio (ie: MLS Match Day). I posted a logcat which I do apologize for its size but I do hope it helps with figuring out what is going on. From what I noticed it seems like both apps are playing the video through Gallery or at least some kind of variant of Gallery if that helps any.

USB for device storage not working in windows but when I change it camera storage it does detect the camera connection.
Also not able to get nexus importer working. Doesn't detect my otg flash drive properly. Nexus importer shows some error message for 4.3
Thank you. Hopefully a easy fix.
By again thank you for your hard work.

usb otg doesn't work in the stock rom because of a kernel incompatibility since I'm using the same kernel it will not work on this rom either.

One more reason why we all need to continue to express our frustration with Hisense for not releasing the kernel source!
Sent from my Sero 7 Pro using Tapatalk 4

was trying to get this kernel to load a spoofed module but it isn't being agreeable first I can't export the symbols via a Module.symvers file then even after I got the release name to match the module it decides to play coy by saying it can't find the module when it is there in the path and I can copy it delete it rename it etc rawr I want kernel source

Awesome job buddy, glad to see some life breathed into this great little device. I look fwd to the updates and best of luck to you.

Had to delete NfcNci.apk as it (NFC) was draining my battery like mad.

Can anyone confirm or deny whether or not HDMI out is working on this rom?
Thanks!

Really liking CM10.2 on this. Is snappier, better battery and now able to do separate user accounts. Conduit Tegra 3 game also works, which didn't with other custom ROM. No camera or NFC but I don't use those on tablet anyway. Essentially performs nearly same as first N7 but with much louder speaker.
One thing I noticed is that Battery listing shows a bluetooth process as 2nd highest process eating battery (behind Display) even though BT not turned on, yet battery life is not bad.
