[ROM] [BETA] CyanogenMod 7 for Droid 2

[tnygigles66]

battery life has been all over the place for me. In the developer thread they have found an issue where the phone isn't going into deep sleep. I'm just going to wait it out for now. With moderate usage i can get 12 hours.

If you're looking for great battery life look at the apex rom. There were a couple bugs when I was using, but it has outstanding battery life.

Battery life is sketchy, but I'm willing to oversee it due to the awesome support this ROM has. On a side note, I can confirm 1% battery increments for the last build, build #10.

I have to agree with this. CM7 has so much support and will have continued support from the CM 7 network. It's hard to support a rom and donate for a toolbox (liberty) when the developer doesn't support the rom or even post in the the section for their rom (liberty, apex).

If a developer is willing to continually support the rom and work with us to solve problems then I have no issues supporting the developers.

Just an update to the signature issue - I have tried downloading nightly 10 directly from the release respiratory and loaded it to my SD card via USB cnnection to make sure that I wasn't having data corrupted via OTA & wi-fi downloads (using Verizon Wireless 3G) and I'm still getting the same issues.

I will try disabling the verification however and seeing if that helps. I did some Googling and it appears to be a issue on a few other phones with various CM versions so this could all be bad luck on my part.

Same problem I had. Easiest way to solve it is to go into rom manager, flash the clockwork recovery from there, then try installing the nightly via rom manager again.

With the recent Cyanogen Nightlies on the Droid 2 (flashed nightly via Rom Manager Premium) I've been experiencing issues with 10% increments in the battery vs. 1% ones despite resetting the battery cache.

I've also been experiencing invalid signature issues with Nightlies 8 onwards downloaded via Rom Manager -- however I'm going to try getting them direct from here until I hear back from those developers since I'm not sure if it's a CM issue.

Also with Launcher Pro, I've been getting quite a few force close errors when booting up. On a more positive note, where Skype kept crashing on boot in the stock rom, CM has been handling that flawlessly.

Overall however, I love the rom and I'm glad to have it finally on my Droid after months of waiting! dancedroid

I was having issues with invalid signature via clockwork recovery. I solved it by going into rom manager and re-installing clockwork recovery from there.

Thanks very much for the tip. I didn't see it before my last post just now, so I'm going to try reflashing Recovery and then doing the install since it seems like disabling verification of ROM's is meant to be a last resort matter.

*EDIT* Just managed to install nightly 10 so it looks like the signature matter is due to Recovery rather than CM. I think it happened because I accidentally deleted the Update.zip file a couple days ago since I didn't know it was a permanent file.

I formatted my sd card and had the same issue.

Aww, so my phone's not getting any REM sleep? No wonder it gets tired so quickly. At least it's super speedy when it is awake!

hello, i jus read through alll 51 pages of this forum lol and im downloading the unnofficial nitely on june 5th right now but im still sort of confused how to get the gapps. i dont have clockwork mod recovery but i have koushs bootstrap if tht counts? will i have to flash back to sumthing else to download clockwork before i can stay on CM?

EDIT: I may not be able to get to anyyy of that becuz i dont think i flashed the rom correctlyy becuz its been saying "installing update" for the past 5 mins now. i wiped data/cache and mounted my phone while i put it into bootstrap coming from libertys rom 2.2 i believe and im almost positive im on froyo

install instructions are here:

Motorola Droid 2: Full Update Guide - CyanogenMod Wiki

You must be on Froyo before starting to install CM. My understanding is that Liberty is a Gingerbread ROM, in that case do not install CM over it, you will fail.

Get the newest nightly from here (currently June 11): CyanogenMod Mirror Network - Powered by TDRevolution

Gapps are here: goo-inside.me - gapps downloads (The 2011 June 13 version at the top.)
