Because Droid 2 is a CDMA-phone (Verizon) and Milestone 2 is a GSM-phone (Europe e.g.)! Both are based on different chipsets. That's why this phones are technically not the same phones, they just look alike!
The Droid 2 Global is both: CDMA and GSM! So there are 3 different phones with the same look out in the wild.
Oh, I see. Well it's look bad, no ROM avaible now, only ROM Fission test. I am wondering to buy something different
Do you think some ROMS will come?
And themes for Droid2 can be used for Milestone2?
I tried to deodexed my milestone 2 rom yesterday, the process is not hard but a bit boring. I have different goal than theming, but it appears easy when everything is deodexed.
The Blur phone framework seems quite different from AOSP, so building AOSP ROM like Fission requires much more time than theming... If you want big changes to MS2, you got to be either very patient or well skilled in hacking
So i can't flash on Fission ROM (for M2) this THEME: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914196
try metamorph: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591329
not sure if they had that steel theme u want but they had a nice black one so it made me happy..
OK, no DesireZ, I will buy Milestone 2. I heard only positive comments for Fission ROM and I hope, new ROMS will arrived before I will buy the phone (next several months).
Only what I am scared is locked bootloader, I am affraid of brock

Much like with the other Motorola phones, you CAN flash ROMs...you just can't change the kernel of the OS. Some functions not in the original kernel can be added by loading them as modules, but not all kernel features can be loaded that way.
If I had to guess, I'd say we'll get a few ROMs eventually, but given that much of the development scene goes on in the USA, we mightn't get as many as other phones...at least unless AT&T manage to get a version of the phone for their network. Unlikely though...Verizon seem to be going hard and exclusive on most of the Motorola gear...then again, Verizon are getting the iPhone after years on AT&T exclusive, so who knows what will happen in future...
To sum up...ROMs are coming, but don't expect the scene to be as vibrant for the GSM variants as it is with the CDMA ones...
if I had only known that before I bought a phone. Hmm, maybe it's time to play around myself a little bit =)
it's really disappointing that there isn't as much "hackery" going on in the Milestone 2 area compared to the Milestone 1.
Doshaska for example works so hard for getting the newest CyanogenMods on the Milestone 1, other groups released the 2.2 Froyo Upgrade months before Motorola did it (2 days ago they finally released it, but still not for everyone).
I think one of the problems is that the MS2 wasn't nearly as successful as the MS1 - but if we're lucky some skilled hacker will go on to our phone. Still hoping...
I think there will be better in the future - I bought this phone yesterday, with the hope for that . For now we've got the Argen2Stone. And look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870845&page=28 - Mikevhl would like to port the CM6 for us We must wait and help if possible
I am a total noob when it comes to phones. I am tech savvy, so i will understand what you tell me to do lol. I bought a droid pro off ebay that will be arriving soon and I was planning on installing this rom
droidforums(dot)net/forum/droid-pro-roms/198354-cm9-ics-droid-pro.html
I have no idea how I would do this though. If someone could tell me what to do it would be greatly appreciated. I also would like to know if this rom works well (especiall battery wise, and of course besides the camera), and if not what other roms to consider.
Hi guys
I'm about to buy a flashed X5 for about 150€.
I have to say that im a complete noob (like the registration video told me ) in all these things and the x5 would be my first Android Phone ever, but nvertheless Im really excited about all this modding and flashing and whatever you people do with the phones. I just want to make sure the bought phone wont die within one week because of some mistakes the seller made while having fun eventually flashing it wrong.
Its said to be flashed with the MUI 2.3.7 and overclocked to 1,2GHz (is that secure for the processor?)
Also the description says it has "7 Launcher" installed - this actually doesnt tell me a single thing, could someone kindly explain what it is and what it does?
Thats all the information I got about the current state of the phone. Would you say that its a well-done combination, or is there some potential of the whole thing being nothing but a mess?
Many thanks to you!

That's a second hand phone? In Portugal, a new one costs 149€ :S
Well the seller says the phone has not been used at all, he just flashed it and put everything back
Anyways - could anyone help me out - should I buy the phone or does it all sounds too messed up already, what do you think
I would just check the price and spec of new phones in the same price bracket. This is an older phone now and I would not be surprised if you could pick it up for a similar price new with some looking.
That said, as long as it is all working, it should be ok. Price is similar to what I just paid for mine on a new years special. Launcher 7 will be gone when he wipes the phone data to sell it to you so you can choose to install it later if you want the windows phone 7 look.
I would just ask if it is still 2.6.32 kernel based (froyo rom) or if it has been upgraded to a 2.6.35 kernel base (official gingerbread). Either is fine, but it will just help you when it comes to installing roms later.
150€ is a normal price for a second handed phone here in Slovenia aswell. I might suggest, if you can get Samsung Galaxy S for that price, do it. I had Ideos X5 for 7 months, tried all ROMs I could find, but when I got my hands on Galaxy S, well...I switched to Galaxy S. The only major thing between them is that Ideos X5 has LED emitter. The battery seems to last longer on Galaxy S with stock ROM or custom in comparison with Ideos X5 stock and custom ROMs. Galaxy S has AMOLED display, which has a bit less DPI (it is 2mm longer, wider), but way better contrast with pictures/videos. In general it is smoother.
To answer your question, if the phone appears not to be damaged to you physically, you have nothing to worry about.
Hi everybody!
Maybe I will sell my defy and I'm wondering which phone is better?
ATRIX or MILESTONE 3?
(I know...buying a new motorola with the bootloader locked its not the best deal...but in my country I dont have much choice)
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3709&idPhone2=4349
I dont realy like the qwerty keyboard on MM3 but I think it better...
Can you help me decide?
Thanks in advance.
Although its kinda a risky process, you actually can unlock the bootloader on the Atrix. We've got an excellent stable CM7 rom and a good number of ICS roms that are good enough to be daily drivers (mainly lacking video recording). I cant speak on the Milestone 3, but you cant really go wrong with the Atrix. It may not have as good specs, but the bootloader makes it more mod friendly.
wht abt atrix2
CM7.2 official nightly..best ever
My Gnex recently broke, and i have been trying to decide if i want the Express...Are there any legit devs working on this phone yet... it seems like a solid device, but there is no hacking community for it. I would love to have this phone, but just cant live without all luxuries of having a custom recovery... it seems that there is no way to root the JB update, it just seems as if there are to many sacrifices to make until this phone gets some good devs working on it. Anyone out there willing to help out...?
