So you're good? I would totally get on liberty. Super nice rom. Yeah, I'm in Rochester. Guess you are not too far, huh? If you want to get on gb, let me know.

Here is the gb leak for d2. Boot into clockwork and wipe data, mount system (not necessary, but i do it) and install this file. You'll then have rooted gb. From there you can dl the donate toolbox and get on liberty

seems to have wiped my sd card

 

[ldopa]

What has wiped your sd? Clockwork wouldn't do that. Installing a rom wouldn't either.

started the gingerbread thing. loaded sbf full, rooted, got everything working, then my other computer caught a virus, or i should say got inundated. up to 14 infections so far. and only at 43% of scan. oh, i also ran the z4 root. so will be trying to do the recovery and then load gingerbread.

 

[george396]

woot woot! u-huh u-huh, oh yeah, got the rooted gingerbread running and phone activated. SWEET! think ill keep it this way and see it i like it. i do so far, be it all of two minutes.

loving gingerbread so far. one issue i have found is my texting cant add contacts. when i press the plus sign and go to the new message window/panel , i cant add contacts. long press gives edit text/input method.

I had the same issue. Wipe and reflash fixed it

what do you mean wipe and reflash?
loaded handsent, see if i get the dreded double notices. have auto retrieve off on both stock and handsent.
swipe dosent work, tried beta and it wont work either.
still like the gingerbread though.

 

[ldopa]

Reinstall is what I mean. Go into clockwork and wipe and reflash it should take care of a lot of bugs. It's up to you though, if you can't get your sms working properly

Flashed this ROM but i don't like it. What should i do to remove it. Noob question, i know, just don't want to mess up my phone.

Flash the backup that you should have made. If you did not make one, then you need to find a stock image or another ROM.

 

[MAMBA24ILL]

Thank you hellmonkey. That seems to have worked.
