Someone Make a CM7 Rom Please.

I love the cm7 and wish someone would make a cm7 rom for the D2.

Its pretty much impossible with the locked bootloader. Cm7 needs a custom kernel that the locked bootloader doesn't allow, so were stuck with stock.

well that sucks.

Try liberty, it's about as good as it gets at the moment. I think keyjar is also working on a gummyJar GB version, which should be a solid rom as well. There is a working UD port for D2, but it's still on RC2 and hasn't been updated in a while, though I ran it for a few weeks and it was pretty solid. Liberty GB is also in the works, though not publicly available atm. CM7 isn't really necessary for the D2, since most of what you would get can be had in other roms currently available, just via some different means.

any way to get the lockscreen gestures currently?

Cm7 DOES NOT need a custom rom. It will run better if it does but it's not required. But we don't have aosp Rome such as cm7 because the locked bootloader makes it hard to make things work

Alright I wanna clear this up.
Cyanogenmod is a custom rom. We can install those on our Droid 2/X devices with Koush's Bootstrap tool. That said, we cannot install a custom kernel. Thus, cm-kernel for Droid 2/X is probably not going to happen anytime soon. However, that is not to say that Cyanogenmod 7 requires a specific kernel. I see no reason why Cyanogenmod 7 could not run on the stock Motorola kernel.
Moving on, cvpcs is working on a Cyanogenmod port for Droid X (and thus also Droid 2). When the rom will be stable, however, is unclear. As far as I understand, it's not really working.

More importantly, this is the development section, not the request section. There is no request section for a good reason.

Ok, for those who aren't searching these days...
1 - Cyanogen won't come out officially with a D2 port until Moto unlocks the bootloader
2 - Cyanogen actually doesn't need a custom kernel to do what it does
2a - Go use Liberty..its effectively Cyanogen sans a 'custom kernel' and does all the same.
Me, I'm flashing back to stock for a while. Liberty 2.0 is causing me some headaches as of late and I can't download @#$ from the market it seems cause its like everything is fricken blocked now.

Thanks for clearing this up

Also motorola probably will never unlock the bootloaders on their phones so getting CM7 will be impossible

I thought Motorola stated that they would unlock the bootloader, but it was up to the carriers whether or not they would allow for it.

Jordan umts is the codename of the Defy... which is also locked.... and we are the 4th device in cyanogen 7 number of installs stats

Originally, yes, it was Motorola's policy to lock the bootloader, but they had announced recently that they would leave the bootloader unlocked, at least for phones on carriers that allowed it (so, I would at least guess that AT&T would be out of the picture, since they've even been controlling of the ability to sideload apps).

Working on it come help if you can:

X-play custom rom

Hi I'm new to the custom rom's and instead of searching through countless topics, mixing up instructions. I was wondering if I could get some directions.
Play is unrooted 2.3.3. I would like instructions on how to put a custom rom on the phone, and which custom rom would be recommended. Thanks in advance people.

is your phone fastboot enabled? (does the notification light in the power button turn blue if you hold the search button and then connect the usb to computer?)

If you want a custom rom but dont want to search and read these forums, i give your phone a week before you brick it.

or we could help people within the comunity to understand what's out there, the risks involved and how to get around the problems that could arise? we all need things explaining to us once in a while.

Oh im sorry i see your point, it is always good to be helpful, i am trying to be helpful as well when i say you should search and read, i mean look at all the countless threads where people didnt want to read, theres like 3 help im bricked threads per page.

lol. i know what you mean. and i know it can be frustrating. it's just a shame that the play is so much more complicated than the x10 that i was previously on. it was all flashtool and update.zip stuff. practically unbrickable!! loved it. fastboot and adb complicate things, and i feel that some of the tutorials can be a little confusing to total noobs. so we need to be accomodating to their lack of knowledge (i hardly know anything, so i'm still quite noobish), but also, people need to accept their own actions and consequences. not sure what i'm getting at now, but things need to be simpler for people who want to start out

Actually the way of installation is exactly the same for any custom ROM in this phone.
1) unlock your bootloader, either for free if you bought a factory unlocked phone or for some cash sending Alejandrissimo a PM, which you have to use if your phone is branded and/or Sim locked. You only need to do this step once.
2) install a custom kernel. There are two: DoomLord's kernel and the Cyanogen Mod kernel. The latter allows you only to install CM7. Doom's allows you to install the others.
3) Enter in Clockwork Mod recovery and install the ROM you prefer as long as your kernel of choice supports it.
As to which ROM you should pick, I use CM7 because it's stable and fast. Visit those threads and see for yourself which is the one you like best.

my personal favorite (until cm7 became more usable, and also because i like dooms kernel) was zerojay's aptly named zerorom. it's a very clean and fast sony based rom full of optimizations and tweaks. i'm currently trying out the FXP028 release of cm7 to see if it's more to my liking than it was in previous releases.

Unfortunately locked to Rogers. Is there a free way of unlocking the bootloader and how?
Again I'm currently running 2.3.3 nonrooted. Had it rooted on 2. 3. 2. but ofcourse lost it with update.

True, but paying $20 dollars to get it unlocked sounds like less of a pain in the ass

Bump, has anyone been able to get Cyanogen mod onto the Rogers r800a? This locked boot loader is really causing me grief. Have the phone rooted, cwr is installed as well as busy Box. Getting closer, but still no cigar.

You can flash CM7, but i doubt it will boot with stock kernel.

Just to confirm, without the proper Kernel I am more than likely to brick my play? Many Thanks!

You won't brick it, if kernel is incompatible device with either not boot, or bootloop, flahing stock rom with flashtool will fix it though.

Available root?

It seems that phone companies rolled out an update to 4.5.141 Im on cm7 but asking in the behalf of the people that were wondering. Is it still possible to sbf pudding and fastboot unlock from there or are we still waiting for another patch? And is it 2.3.7? I wouldn't know. My phone doesn't have the 4.5--- firmware numbers thanks for anyone who replies
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

From what I know it is 2.3.6. As for flashing, as far as I'm aware using sbfs isn't safe (Could be wrong). If you're looking to get the stock rom for whatever reason, I've seen it on the fruit cakes page (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163009), although most roms (cm7 or blur based) basically have this. I hope I answered some of your questions.

Oh thanks hha. I know they aren't but I thought that's what you need to unlock the boot loader. I'm trying to help someone j lock their phone and all you see are root unlovks for it and not boot loader unlocks :/

Thank You.

No, dude it is outdated. We need to upgrade our kernel for better performance. But this will be helpful for those who can't open their bootloaders so yeah useful for some people.

YES !!!!!!!!!!!!! My frenz need it cause his hardware is 11w51, criticaly dangerous to unlock.

I need the ROM for Stock kernel. I don't have any problem updating with Kernel but with boot loader.

101% yes!!!Because i dont want to unlock again my bootloader because now i know the risk...

i don't use stock kernel but i voted yes for stock kernel, because here have much people that can not unlock bootloader, then people, vote yes please for stock kernel because these people thus can use this rom in their phones..FREEDOM OF CHOICE!!

yes plss
I tried to unlock my bootloader once and it just end with a hardbrick and it takes 1month for the se service center to repair my unit

reason
Reason is simple. I had a simlock. For now there is no safe way to unlock bootloader and the simlock NOT to come back.
Cheers,

yea i want it on stock kernel i have unlocked my bootloader but i want it for those who cant its the best rom ever and i want it for my other brothers as well

I want more ROMs on stock kernel.
11w48 I bought my x8 almost 2 months ago and the first thing I tried was to update it. Then I realised that my phone will never get past 2.1 ,so I read that I can manually install 2.2 or 2.3 ROM. And a week later my phone was running gingerdx. But I wanted something more, I wanted a custom kernel and I was very disappointed to read that I can't unlock my bootloader. I check the development section about 10 times a day and Im very happy when I see a new ROM or a ROM that gets updated. But most of them are for alfs or nAa and I feel like noone cares about the people who can't unlock their bootloaders. I voted YES. Thank you.

I guess the development of this rom will released till xmas if we wait the 100voters because not all is participate...

As of now 42 have voted with 31 for and 11 against. Guys please don't vote against there are lot of your brothers who can't unlock their bootloader..please please vote infavour.

YES please
Well as said before, many of us cant unlock bootloader and there are few roms to pick from that are updated for us. I would really like to try this ROM. And would like to see other ROMs updated as well. We all want the same thing. A smooth, good looking rom that is up to date with the best modules, speed mods, and completely works. I have found a couple. but most you gotta enable, and update modules. Some dont even have any modules, so you got to use root explorer to install them yourself. Thank You for asking this question. Hopefully it will get more attention to itself and other roms that wed like to see on stock kernel. Oh and a bunch of yes votes.

Yes we need more Rom's for stock kernel as I don't want to unlock bootloader. My x8 11w01 so should be fine to unlock. I hope for ics on stock kernel but this is not looking promising.

Kernel

Hi guys,
I need some help, sorry I'm a noob with defy... I'm trying to find a good kernel to flash but I was not able to find any.. I'm looking for both performance an battery life wise..
Can you recommend me a kernel and if possible get me a link of the thread please?
Sent from my MB525 using xda premium

You can't just flashh a kernel, first you must use a rom which works with that kernel, if you wanna a good batt life flash CM72, has a great batt life and works great
Sent from my MB525 using XDA

Are you sure? I have a Vibrant and I think it's quite possible to use a stock rom with a kernel of your choice on it. I'm new to the Defy as well, so I would like to know why it's different for this phone. I tried searching for an answer, but I can't seem to find any posts or articles specifically relating to the Defy and kernels. Pretty much everything just involves roms.

that's because the bootloader of defy is locked .. ;( ... Samsung has unlocked one you can put any compatible kernel in it .. but in defy .. only either FROYO one or GINGERBREAD one is the option :|

On Defy we have just two kernels, the GB and Froyo Kernel both signed by Motorola, we can't use custom kernels cause a locked BL, the GB is from the Defy+ Stock Rom, and the Froyo from Defy Stock, i never tried really the GB kernel over the Defy stock, maybe can work, but it will not give you a big difference in performance or batt, cause the Motoblur, first of all, root the phone, install 2nd init and then you can flash the GB kernel aka CM9 kernel here in the forum, but i suggest you to flash CM7.2

Didn't know you can't flash a custom kernel (I have a Nexus S and you can with that one) , thank you for letting me know

Ah, that's a bit of a disappointment, but it's good to know! Thank you all for answering. However, is there really no method of unlocking the bootloader? I'd appreciate it if someone could explain exactly why that is. Sorry if this has been asked before.

The short answer in no. Zephyrot has written a good text to begin with, start reading here
