[dipsetdiplomat]

I've only had it installed for about 30 min. but its seems even smoother with app transitions. Right now im reinstalling all of my apps.

Still too scared without am sbf! What if I need warranty repair? I can't flash back and unroot. Be careful Gents (and ladies).

You can use your nandroid backup of the OEM image

This was the first build and I should have up to par with the D2 and DX ROMs today or tomorrow. Still some graphical glitches that I will be fixing when I redo the framework.

All updates should come as update files that can be installed right over so no need to wipe data and/or cache.

@angdroid that seems right but if you've wiped the bootstrapper from you phone with the factory wipe and you bork the flash what is the guarantee you can get to clockworkmod to flash that backup? Maybe I'm not clear on the way koush's bootstrapper works for this phone.... could you explain what I'm missing?

bootstrap works by a "hijack" on boot up. A file is created for bootstrap if there was an error in booting and if that file exists it will load bootstrap.

If you had to send in for warranty I would do the following steps.
Restore your OEM backup, I have one handy for those that may need it.
Unistall Droid2 Bootstrap from Applications within Android
unroot using z4root
and then perform a factory reset

The way I have the ROMs installing now only touches the app and framework folder, thats why the file size is so small. It deletes the OEM folders and replaces them with the ones I created. If something goes wrong with the flash. the bootstrap files are not touched so you can always get back into bootstrap and flash something different or restore backup.

With Fission ROM Manager you can select all the options for ROM or package install right within Android and do not need to mess with doing it in Bootstrap.

If I did not think this method was safe then I would have not published ROM. There is always a chance something can go wrong but if all install instructions are followed you should be ok.

I ran into bootloops a few times while working on the framework and had no problem getting back into recovery

Ty for clarifying, I'm used to the adp1 recovery style. This clears up a lot of confusion.

I was use to SPRecovery on the Original Droid and it took me awhile to get use to this too.

 

[shagoyjo]

Yeah for me it was Amonra's recovery, which got flashed over the stock. This was after manually flashing radio and haykuro's deathspl. Scary times, this is hella easier.

id like to get my hands on the latest released/official (not RC1) of fission for the d2g or the oem rom you mentioned, could you post a link to it so i can d/l ?

i got the fone new @ home, i want a vanilla rom (dont like moto's ui), so after root & bootstrap im loading a fresh rom.
