[ROM] The CM7 Gingerbread ROM (CM4D2-GB) is now ready for prime time!

[d4dEf@c@]

Before posting any "bug" its a good idea to reboot first. So many times I've encountered "bugs" that are easily fixed with a simple reboot

CM7GB-601

In my line of work you learn, never underestimate the effectiveness of the power-cycle.

I need to update to V5 of Jake's. Can I wipe data or do I reflash rom to erase v4?

Alright, i SBF'd back to froyo and then updated(which updated my base band! woot! was stuck at 10p now im at 13p) and then root the ota, then flash cm7 vr9/2/2011. Everything is great now.

Now....before i did this and just flashed the cm7 update from cm7 vr8/28. It ran SUPER slow!

yesterday i seen people say you needed to sbf to froyo and update and then root and then it ran great(why isnt this in the instructions for cm7!!??). So I did this and the speed of the rom is much much much improved.

Redflea, could you please put in the OP to do this. I havent read anywhere to do this(sbf,update,root, then flash), including rootzwiki. So when i read to do this yesterday, i thought it was unnecessary due to it not being posted in the OP or rootzwiki. BUT, it is truely necessary. I tried everything beside this at the start to get it to work!! then i tried every other GB rom cause i was getting P/O'ed with CM7...then i got P/O'ed with everything else...so i finally gave in and took an hour and did everything

When going from build 8/28 to 9/2 you need to sbf to froyo, update to the ota, root, THEN flash cm7. If you do not cm7 will run slow as....a sloth/snail....a snoth(got that from a comcast commercial)!!

ok? ok! dancedroid

Mine ran extremely slow for about an hour, it "settled in" now its fast as hell. I get dsp fc every so often but other than that I'm happy with it.

One bug I am still getting are problems with 3g connection and wifi. Right now i have 4 bars and im connected to wifi.....yet i have no connection. Anyone have a fix for this?? If i go to airplane mode it automatically switches out of it and turns wifi back on along with data.
cheep jeep, i got dsp force close everytime i received a message, every phone call....pretty much anything that makes noise i would get dsp force close. now i do not.

The instructions in the OP were already updated earlier today, to simplify them and ensure any users moved up to the new GB OTA. I posted that they had been updated.

To flash this ROM you MUST be on a Gingerbread-based ROM first (stock or custom). It is HIGHLY recommend you flash the newly released D2 GB OTA release and then root and install the latest CM7GB Nightly.

To install:

1. SBF back to stock Froyo - don't root, just get to stock Froyo: SBF - Multiupload.com - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites!; (If you're already on a Froyo ROM, you still need to do this to make sure you're on stock Froyo before applying the OTA GB update.)
2. Install the GB OTA update zip using stock recovery (Rename to update.zip, place in root of your SD card, install using Update.zip option in stock recovery:Blur_Version.2.3.20.A955.Verizon.en.US.zip
3. Root using the one-click GB root option: [ROOT] Droid 3 root instructions (One Click added for Windows/ Linux/ OSX)
4. Use D2 Bootstrapper to bootstrap and launch recovery
5. Install latest CM74GB OTA: [DEV_THREAD]Droid 2 CM7 with Gingerbread Leak Kernel
6. Install Gapps: goo-inside.me - gapps downloads

...So when i read to do this yesterday, i thought it was unnecessary due to it not being posted in the OP or rootzwiki.

The updated install steps involving the GB OTA are littered through the last few days worth of this thread and the dev thread on Rootz ([DEV_THREAD]Droid 2 CM7 with Gingerbread Leak Kernel). If you're going to ignore directions/instructions posted in a thread always ask first...the OP won't always have time, or remember if an update is needed to the OP, but folks participating on the thread are almost always on top of any issues/updates and can help you out. Rule of thumb - assume the OP was right when first posted but may not always be up-to-date, check the thread comments and ask for any updates/additions.

I am glad you're fixed up and running OK. Thanks for your post.

I just asked if you could update not for me, but for future people who will be flashing this rom. So then it doesnt have to be asked all the time!

Thanks for the rule of thumb! I will remember that for now on! (its hard to go through 600 replies though!!)

Im just trying to keep everything simple, as im sure you always stride to do! dancedroid

Thanks for the reply and for updating! i really do appreciate you hard work!

Crap, what da? So I will get better speed if I would've sbf'd before updating to the 8/30 because it was a slow bitc^ so...its better now but dang, hate to do all that again..lol maybe after I get the newer build, before flashing, I will sbf, my speeds aren't the best at the moment....

My D2 is miles ahead of me running Cm7GB(OTAkernel)

 

[ldopa]

I was on 8-30 on while still on the gb leak. The ota was out on 9/1 right? So I assumed we all had to sbf to get the ota and then flash the build that came out on 9/2. Plus you needed to be on the ota to flash jakes new mod. I just assumed we all had to sbf to get on the ota anyway (right when the 9/2 build came out)

CM7GB-601

 

[Htown315]

I flashed 9/2 after sbf/ota, I'm not really noticing any difference in signal strength. I average -72dBm on both and my speed tests are basically the same(hard to tell because results vary alot between tests)

 

[idefiler6]

I'm in Terminal Emulator and got into Modcentral...here's the problem, I try to select a number from the list, but the keymapping is off on the hardware keyboard, and I'm getting the symbols from the keys in the second row rather than the numbers from the keys in the first row. Is there a known fix for this?

EDIT: Example, I try to press number 1 and I get ! instead from the Q key.

 

[Htown315]

Wipe data and flash rom again..had that happen on my OG
