Several months ago I installed fission 2.5.7. It's the only ROM I ever installed. I did it to rid myself of all the bloatware like I think most people do. I say that because I have not really gotten into this. I have not made a big study of all the possible combinations etc. Fission 2.5.7(Black edition) has worked very well for me for several months. However recently I decided to take a look around for possibly installing a different ROM. Of coarse, that's problematic and I ended up, amongst other mistakes, moving my update zip file, which ultimately cause me to have to go back to stock. I went back to stock by flashing SBF.
What I am wondering, and what is confusing to me, is how easy it sounds to install any ROM. Of course I know you can't do that but I find it difficult to distinguish between some that I can and some that I cannot install.
Redflea, you suggested installing CM4D2. You say that one would have to SBF back to Froyo. Well here's where I'm going to expose my ignorance. I do not believe I have had Froyo,(that is an OS correct?) but it sounds like it came stock, so how could I not have had it?
I have a droid 2. In the "about phone" model number I show "droid 2",. Android version I show "2.2".., System version I show " 2.3 .20 " of course there are some other listings I think are probably insignificant in terms of this. Please forgive me for this long post, I am just a little confused and wish I knew a way to know exactly what I can and cannot install. Again, in these forms I have found a list of suitable ROMs for the droid 2. Yet reading further on I get convinced I cannot install it. If anyone can understand what I am asking then bless you, bless you even more if you care to take a shot at answering it for me.
Thanks in advance for any help I'll keep reading for a while as of now I have some free time on my hands. Thus, I had my shovel,and have been digging myself deeper and deeper.
Thanks again for any help
