CyanogenMod 7 for Droid 2 Global [Beta]

[Byakushiki]

Just do a normal install like any other custom rom. Wipe data'n cache, and flash. Simple and foolproof. Make sure you have the latest nightly though.

rusty815 Bluetooth works just fine for me, I just flashed the 8/2 nightly build

no its still broken, you can still turn it on and pair, but in a lot of cases the phone cant send data, for instance when using a headset and in a call, you can hear people within the headset but they cant hear you, and when syncing files to the phone, the phone can receive files but not send.

Ok, I'm on the nightly from last riday and I'm having one small issue. I can't get the mass storage mode to work, it sits with the little ring going around for about a minute and then resets.

When plugging the USB cable in it says "Charging mode only".

It used to be in the notification shade you could switch the USB mode but it seems to be missing in CM7. Anyone know how to change it to allow PC mode or USB storage mode?

I've tried rebooting and such but my only backup option right now is going back to rooted stock 2.2 and I dont know how that go over, any ideas?

Look in the app drawer for USB mode. That should work since its not in the notification bar anymore.

SON-OV-A!! I looked through the app drawer at least 100 times and never saw it!

thankes mate, I was about to pull my damn hair out lol.

I spoke to soon. I set it to memory card access mode and it still won't give me access. It never turns orange, Tried setting it, rebooting and then connecting the USB cable, nogo. i know the cable is good, I've tried two different cables and this is the cable and Pc I loaded the CM7 ROM to the phone with. any other suggestions?

I get an error when selecting memory card now as well, I set it to Portal and tools and now it gives the error "The USB connection cannot change to Memory Card Access"

Can you do this through ROM Manager? I haven't really been keeping up with this, but I'm running Fission now and that had its own ROM Manager... wasn't sure if I had to do anything special.

That's the only custom ROM I've ever installed, and it seems with that ROM it was basically backing up anything you wanted to back up, installing that ROM Manager, selecting Fission, wipe data+cache and letting it do the rest of it.

Also, ROM Manager tells me I don't have Clockwork installed, even though I know I must... but it was through the Fission ROM Manager. I'm slightly afraid to try and install it via ROM Manager or anything because of that.

Yeah, I'm a major noob to all this as you can tell lol. Since I'm so new would it be worth waiting a while before installers are made simpler etc. etc. and potentially more bugs are fixed?

Ill try. Still acting somewhat buggy. Will say its connected and not actually work until I turn it off then back on. Then it does the same thing a period of time later.

The instructions are aabout as simple as it gets. SBF, reroot, download koush's bootstrapper, wipe data, and flash. If u need help, get at me on gtalk or pm me and ill walk you through it. My gtalks clouse2013@gmail.com

Yes it is a bit buggy, acts exactly the same for me. Works both ways for me. If I'm in wifi mode and want to go to 3g I have to turn off wifi and reboot and visa-versa,

oh mines not quite that bad. i just have to toggle wifi a lot of times to get it to work. other than that, i dont really have to do a whole lot.

Didn't SBF and have everything working fine... still messing with a bunch of settings and LOVING everything so far. I had the data issue no matter how many times I flipped my data/wi-fi on and off, because it was the "settings not sticking" problem so it never registered any change. I must've rebooted about 6 or 7 times too hoping it would change. Wiped cache and reflashed, and everything was great after that.

Anyone try enabling Swype on the latest build? Not working for me.. I don't need it, but its definitely something I like to use if I have it.
