CyanogenMod 7 for Droid 2 Global [Beta]

[VSOP]

I just installed this on my D2G and I have to say I wish this is what came with the phone.

Camera still mirrored but can usually get it to act right after flipping from camera to camcorder and back quickly.

Battery is much better for me on build 24 but I think that has to do with me turning off mobile data overnight. Without doing that I was averaging a drain of 20 to 40% overnight with no use. Last night with data turned off it only dropped 2% in 8 hours. Since my last charge it has been exactly 13 hours and I am at 71%. It still seems to drop fairly quickly with data on and while doing stuff on the phone though. I am much happier now without the great drain overnight.

Thanks man!I think it's not yet time for me to switch,I'll wait till the Final release,but really i like the transitions....it's fast!!

Hey, no problem. Figured I'd post a small update. I have since wiped cache and updated to rev's build 25. Didn't restore anything just downloaded necessities from market. I used cm7's built in performance settings to set max cpu to 1000Mhz. Keeping my data off unless I need it is helping out a lot. I've used my phone quite a bit for the last few hours, so it's dropped a lot since i've gotten home from work but since my last charge it's been 22 hours and 6 minutes and I am at 29% battery. I also have my screen timeout at 15sec and my screen on dim unless I need to bump up the brightness.

Done that man(underclocking my cpu to 1000 MHZ) and etc. etc..I work from 7a to 3p,and every 12p to 1p I'm taking my break watching videos,but before 12p my bat. level drops to 45%( just for checking e-mails and some calls and text) so there's no way i can watch videos so i switched back to Hexen...now i think,"waiting" is ovah.! ..Take a look at this...(Official nightly?)...

PS: This is what REV.says today:
Update on my unofficial nightlies:
I finally got a successful build, lol
since it took so long for me to figure out what went wrong, i'll just hold off until tonight instead of doing a late build today
Rev

Out of TOPIC.

Just installed on my phone, loving it for the most part. The one thing that makes me sad is that Netflix doesn't work straight from market like it did when I installed on stock yesterday. I am sure I can find a workaround though.

Unofficial nightlies have been around for a good while now, still plenty of bugs in there though. Separate note, is tomorrow the update for motoblurred 2.3? I reverted to stock and am right now just spamming check for updates. Most of the time, it comes up as unavailable, check later.

2011-07-27: Now based on Android 2.3.5!

Pasted from rev's site. . . Hope helps with battery and such! I'm pumped to be based off 2.3.5

Btw, poster above me, you heard were supposed to get the ota tomorrow?? Or am I unclear, if so sorry.

It was an odd rumor quite a while back, not sure if it'll hold out. Hopefully it does (and we'll have our camera fix!)

Yes I think he was referring to getting it to build in the SDK not that he had anything more working than was in the release from the day before.

But I could be wrong I was busy working all day.

So i first installed cyanogenmod with the 7.25 nightly and have downloaded the 7.27 nightly
To install it, do I still need to wipe data and cache?

 

[Byakushiki]

I *think* you can get away with just cache wipe. I made the jump from 7-20 to 27 without wiping a thing actually, everything seemed to work on the surface. Jumped back b/c the themes I used kept breaking something that caused a bootloop. Going to sort that out.

U just need to wipe cache homie, it works out just fine. I did it that way yestersay and everything is smooth (themes and all).

Question...I know in cm settings/performance/cpu, you can set the min and max cpu speeds...do they work? I found this on rootzwiki and now I'm not sure about it. Clarify if would please...


Battery below 69% 1G (800 with CM) Battery below 50% 800 (600 with CM) Battery Below 25% 600 (300 with CM) Screen off 300 I also set a temp over profile to scale down to 800 just for protection purposes

Also, what's best way to successfully underclock our globals on cm7? One poster said setcpu didn't underclock properly so used milestone oc and set cpu for profiles...I would like someone who can, to help me learn please. Thanks guys!
