[Q] Need Themes

I have rooted and installed JRummys Load_theme. Only problem is I need a theme!!
Was going to try one of the Froyo themes for Droid 1 but I do not know what version is in the droid 2 - FRG01B, FRG22, FRG22D, ?????
So... anyone have a theme or can anyone tell me what version the D2 is?
Thanks

I would love some themes also, I haven't rooted yet but once there are themes and/or roms I will go right ahead.

I managed to get the SenseX theme for the Droid X to sort of work. Unfortunately though for the text colors to be correct the phone needs to be deodexed and I have yet to figure out a way to do that on the Droid 2. I've tried doing it manually a few different ways with xUltimate but unfortunately doing so always results in a boot loop that I need to reflash the phone to get out of. I don't know if anybody has come up with a working way to deodex a Droid 2 yet.

This worked for me.

camera does'nt work in some apps

Hey guys,
Just got my hands on a Defy Plus, it's running CyanogenMod 9.
Now, the camera on it self is working fine, that is with the app it came with.
Other apps like instagram and camscanner work fine too,
But most apps i try to run, that need a cam (barcode scanners, joke photo makers etc.) just show a blank black screen instead of cam image.
This feels to me like a permissions issue, but being new to this whole smartphone thing, i wouldn't know where to start.
Any insights?
Thanks.

try CM10
it is now more stable an most f the features are working

Hi. Not sure, but it might be a kernel issue. Which kernel is flashed to your defy?

[Q] Downgrade from OTA .621 files?

Hey, I've done some research and found that although it is somewhat obtuse (seems to require a modified sbf), there is a way to downgrade from the .621 update to either the .602 or .605 version. However here is my problem, all of the links to access these files seem to be dead and I'm not quite advanced enough to know how to build them. If someone either has these files or knows where I might find them your help would be greatly appreciated. Also if you have any other downgrade help for the Dx I would love to hear it. Thanks!

no you can not downgrade.

Ok well then what would be my options as far as roms. I've seen where there was a cm9 build fort Droid X but no one seems to be hosting those files anymore either. Is there some way I could possibly get a hold of that zip?

Wifi on 802.11n seems pretty unstable, no internet connection from time to time... but seems not the rom's problem.. same issue on other roms but still wondering if there's any solution/workaround (instead of working on 802.11g...)

The current version of CM 11 on my Droid X has no WiFi issues.

do you have access to the router? switch to TKIP instead of AES encryption, it might help you.

Newbie wants to try and CM11 DroidX
Howdy
I've begun researching the possibility of taking my clunky old Verizon DroidX that's been disconnected from a phone# and applying a custom Rom in the hopes of improving its performance.
After receiving considerable help from @sd_shadow with getting OtterX working beautifully on my KF, I'm feeling brave enough to try something similar now.
The 1st step I've taken was to use "Android Device Drivers Install" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_KPGUMzrjU (VERY informative) youtube video by Rootjunky.com
I successfully used "How to Root Droid X & Droid 2 on Android V2.3.4" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w543XNIExWo to get it rooted - YAY.
Next is getting a nandroid backup done. I was just about to purchase "Droid X Recovery Bootstrap" - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.droidx.bootstrap from the Play Store for $3 but then I noticed a wise man said "if Droid X bootstrap works for you great, but don't be surprised if it causes a bootloop"
I know that the next logical step is to be able to restore the device before going any further. I'm thinking CWM is a good way to go.
I need advice as far as which specific goal I should be shooting for as far as the best recommended final ROM based on your successes with my configuration. I really do like CM11/4.4.4 a whole lot.
Any Suggestions please?
System version = 45.621.10.MB810.Verizon.en.US
Android version = 2.3.4
Kernel Version - 2.6.32.9-g3e80c7a
Build number = 4.5.1_57_DX9-10

Thanks in advance for reading this and possibly even considering to point me in the right direction.

Do not use the droid x bootstrap from play store, it was designed for froyo not gingerbread. If you would like to buy one pick droid 2 or 3, but the modified one in the op is best.

Best Rom for me is...

So I am big into trying every rom possible and I came to the conclusion for the droid turbo itself....the best rom is by Mokee. They seem to give the most support for the turbo. I have not noticed any bugs for their release roms. Although RR is by far the most customizable and have the most features....it annoys me at times with the bugs I notice. I highly recommend anyone with a turbo to use Mokee.

Link to mooke rom
Can u please post the link to this rom, i just bought a droid turbo and i want to get a custom rom for it since it doesn't have an upgrade to marshmallow.

1) Make sure you can unlock your bootloader. Do NOT update to SUTL-49, if your bootloader is still locked. Sunshine bootloader unlock for the XT1254 only works on SUTL-44.
2) Mokee Marshmallow ROM for Quarks is over in the OTHER Quark forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-maxx
All the custom ROM, kernel development is over there. CM dev replicated the CM threads over here after being physically removed last September, but all the other dev work stayed over there. Sunshine unlock exploit for the Droid Turbo XT1254 was published in November 2015, about two months after the forums were split into "active" Quarks with unlocked bootloader and the dead dev Quark (Droid Turbo XT1254, with locked bootloader). So, then after bootloader unlock became available, then Droid Turbo owners had to go to the to other forum for custom ROMs, kernels, recovery (TWRP), etc.

yep, that thread "MoKee Open Source - Building And Submitting Patches (English version of v1.3 " was exactly what i was looking for, thanks dude.

I've been running mokee for a week or so and agree that it's an awesome ROM.
Prior to it I was using compufreek (The first real rooted flash I've done on this phone) and then RR.
Same experience with Remix as you had.
The stock based computerfreek was great but I want more customization.
My only frustrations with Mokee is I REALLY want active display back. It seemed to have some similar setting in the ROM but it didn't work well. Running ACdisplay app for now which shows notifications when they come in and when you pull the phone out of pocket, but wave to wake is glitchy...seems to need ALL sensors touched for one second to show time/notific.

For me, modified stock is the only way to go. I need solid Bluetooth (RR/CM13 based glitch in my Chrysler), VoLTE, and public wifi hotspot connectivity (had issues with ComputerFreek's ROM). Wtih Xposed modules, Stock is the best. For me. And I've tried EVERY ROM available.

Which Xposed modules do you run? Just curious. It's been well over a year since I messed with Xposed -- back when I was running stock 5.0.2 before I went to CM -- so not sure what's even out there currently.

I agree xposed is a big game changer, I remember being able to almost make my own version of a rom with my old phone.
What modules are you using to tweak your stock rooted?
Is there a theme mod that will allow you to use cm themes or something similar? That's my favorite cm option these days. Lol.

Here's why I started using xposed with modules in the first place and why I stopped...
On my 2013 LG Nexus 5 phones (mine and my wife's), I was eventually forced to run xposed/Gravity Box plus some other modules, because my long-time favorite ROM I had been using since 2011 gen3 Galaxy Nexus went off the rails. During the time I used my LG Nexus 5, the ROM team -- which covered several devices -- got some new militant members who started locking out settings choices.
Android is about choice. I understand it was their ROM, and they can do what they wanted -- but their ROM design philosophy drastically changed from when I first started using the ROM. Previously they had default choices (DPI, etc) for each device, but also supplied tools or alternate menu choices to change those if you wanted something different. They suddenly decided all those settings would be only their way. Some apps do not work well with miniscule DPI; it was documented -- they didn't care. They loathed stock DPI, no matter the device -- they insisted it be 70% of stock, no matter what stock was. While I could use Build Prop Editor to change DPI, they also disabled AOSP Recents for their own inferior version of Recents they had designed. At first they gave a choice of their own Recents or AOSP Recents, but then in the next stage of militancy they disabled AOSP Recents, so you HAD to use their version. And you couldn't "Clear All" with one touch.
People then started installing Gravity Box to enable AOSP recents (the code was still there). The ROM team then stripped out the code so you couldn't use Gravity Box to enable AOSP "recents", and especially "Clear All Recents" with one touch. (That was my first taste of Xposed, to give me back customization choices that ROM team had taken away.) Well, you could do that at first -- use Gravity Box to enable AOSP Recents -- but when they discovered people were doing that and telling others in the ROM threads how to do it, they even stripped out the AOSP Recents code! So, it was going to be their way or no way. I don't understand why they turned on their users like that. It was a great, fast ROM and until then you could customize it how you wanted.
I wasn't the only one who felt they went awry. Many "unofficial" versions of the that ROM started popping up, which restored the choices they had removed -- but not in time for me. I ditched the ROM and went to stock Google AOSP + xposed/Gravity Box with a few other modules to create what I wanted.
Then, after owning two different generations of Nexus phones (4.65", and 4.95"), in late 2014 Google screwed up and released the 6" Nexus 6 instead of something more reasonable (like the 5.2" variant they were testing as late as mid-August 2014). So, I bought two 64GB Moto XT1225 (for about $700 each) which was basically the 5.2" version of the Moto Nexus 6 Google wouldn't release. No custom ROMs were available yet for the XT1225, so I just kept rooted Moto stock with xposed/Gravity Box + other modules.
I used it with KitKat 4.4.4 on my XT1225 and I even used it with Lollipop 5.0.2 on my XT1225. I was very glad they were able to adapt Xposed to work with ART instead of just Dalvik.
But Gravity Box module in particular has a warning NOT to use it with heavily customized ROMs or there will be conflicts. And CM is a heavily customized ROM. When I switched to CM, I stopped using Gravity Box. Also CM was customized enough I didn't need the other xposed modules (for audio levels, Qi charging sounds, etc.) There was only one function not replicated on CM, and I decided I could live without it. IF something is messing up on my phone, I wanted to be able to tell if it was a bug in CM without having to worry I was the one messing up the phone by having xposed/modules conflicting...
I've been using CM for over a year now, so I'm not coversant with the current state of xposed. I was surprised you still have to flash the "alpha" files first before flashing Xposed installer. Seems by now, it would be well out of alpha -- been almost 1.5 years! -- and that the devs perhaps would have made it be an easier 1-step process.
