I feel ya, the only two things i miss from a custom Rom really is the drop down notification bar with the shortcuts to GPS, WIFI, etc... and overclocking the kernel for faster speed but with the Droid 2 global compared to the Droid 1 i had i'm happy with the speed... the Led control? you mean to change the colors? i digged that too but after changing them i forgot what each one ment. But now you gotta consider that the people that make/tweak the stock roms might know the Rom/operating system but how much do they know about the hardware? do they know enough information to tweak the light and not brake it? or haven't you seen bricked phones or broken led light for tweaking with the hardware??? and of course we can blame the hardware but maybe it wasn't the hardware... it's like Symantec/Norton Antivirus and ZoneAlarm in windows, Symantec's Group specialize in Virus detection and Removal, but they have a Firewall that is not as good as ZoneAlarm because they know how to program, ZoneAlarm specializes on Firewall and their antivirus sucks... so you gotta think Do you want your phone to have a stock rom that's not going to damage your hardware, you don't know when it's going to be updated but work until then, or do you want a few little tweaks that might limmit your hardware's life and not know when it is going to DIE!...

You know, I've never seen a truly bricked phone other than by a dev trying out crazy stuff. That's from the original Droid I got on opening day until my D2 now. That whole issue is greatly over-played...it's really hard to truly brick these phones when you have an SBF. Now if people are playing w/out an SBF available, that's just plain dumb...

The devs making these ROMs (particularly CM7) are a collection of SW engineers who generally do similar work for a living...so basically they are the same people who make the (Frequently buggy) stock ROMs....look at the issues that the DX guys faced when 2.3.3 was first released for them. People are involved, therefor there are bugs, QED.

Just a question for you folks with the new GB OTA... my camera app just seems to shut off when I try to go to camera settings in the menu. No FC, just turns off and goes back to whatever I was on before I launched it... Anyone else having this issue?

 

[Redflea]

Not seeing that...both settings via menu and on-screen settings work fine for me.

 

[plutonium0587]

Well that's weird... guess I'll wipe. Thanks for checking.

Running gb rooted, but android overclock keeps rebooting my phone :/ idk, any help

 

[duck on quack]

I'm running Liberty for D2 after SBFing to 2.3.20 and installing the GB leak (.zip). I did this about two weeks ago...

Any word on an SBF file for GB on D2? If not, would flashing the 2.3.20 SBF allow me to instantly receive the OTA update for GB? I'm not sure what to do at this point, because I'm pretty happy with Liberty. At the same time, I'd be willing to SBF to 2.3.20 for the GB OTA update, but only if the new SBF file would be unavailable for quite some time.

Suggestions, please? =)

I've upgraded but now I lost the ability to send apps to my phone through the market on Windows.

Used the TBH sbf file b4 upgrade, downloaaded update fine, got to the New boot logo, then bootloader screen. ...
Re sbf using Linux method, full sbf, now all good except one little thing:
Every minute or 2 when screen is off, my backlight on softkeys light up. Happens so fast and faint I barely noticed it even in dark room. Did not seem to negatively affect battery, only lost 5% over night.
Any ideas.???
And to prior post, online market transferred to phone real smooth over wifi for me.

I woke up this morning and my Droid 2 was back in the market website. I guess it just needed time to update and make it available again. This never happened with changing other roms.
