Im rooted and running the leaked 2.3.13. I want to know try a rom. I know some roms hae blur and some dont. Most themes out there dont say which they are.
Can you apply any droid x theme on any droid x rom? If not, can you mod the theme zip and remove the blur content so it works with that rom?
No. Your themes should be based on the same version of Froyo as your ROM.
At that, most are on 2.2.15 now. You should update. I would even update to OTA. I don't subscribe to the paranoia that we're all shooting ourselves in the foot by doing it.

believe the paranoia, if the top name devs out there havent applied the ota, there's probably good reason. You should be on .15 though
you are correct on your assumption about the themes, if its blurless delete the blur.apks from the update.zip. All blur themes will work on all blur roms. If you choose to run rubix, make sure the rom states its for rubix, i have heard of some people having major errors.
Everyone has problems with rubix .3 (mostly). It's because he tweaked a bunch of things and refuses to tell anyone what he tweaked, so nobody can determine what's causing the problems. Kind of goes against the community, but w/e. There are better ROMS out there.
I don't see that the 'top devs' are not on OTA. Where do you see that? And where do you see them telling people not to?
I was on 2.3.15 before. I had issues with duplicate sms messages. So i went back to 2.3.13 thinking .15 was the issue..After I got .13 all setup and themed, i found out the duplicate sms was caused by the theme adding duplicate sms apks. And too lazy to redo it all over again with .15.
I wanna try a rom..Any suggestions? I am thinking Tranquility or flyX.
Well, then what you can safely do is somewhat limited. On the bright side you can hope that some of the stuff you install will replace some of your system files and put you on a bastardized .15 build.

I made this ROM because I was having problems with every other Sense-based ROM that I tried. This is based off the RRU that was posted here for download from conflipper's shipped ROM site instead of piecing together all the OTAs to get a 2.2 ROM.
This is a Sense ROM, and is very minimalistic compared to a lot of the others that have been posted here. Most will probably not find a use or a need for a ROM this basic, but if you've been having awake issues like I have despite (or in spite of) which apps you've installed on your phone, this might be worth a try. I've been running this ROM since last night and haven't had any problems. There's a chance that there could be something broken, but theoretically everything should work since nothing has been changed.
Features:
- Root privileges with the newest chainsdd su permissions app
- HAS NOT BEEN deodexed or zip-aligned
- nothing has been removed, added, or moved to make for easy removal of apps installed to /system
- stock boot animation and sound
- This is truly a 100% stock rooted ROM

Thanks go out to preludedrew for uploading the ROM to his rapidshare premium account.
I give all credit where it is due, and take none for myself.... I'm not a dev by any means; I just know how to follow directions and stand on the shoulders of those who've gone before me.

Sorry but I just dont understand how it can be minimalistic and bare if its STOCK? you did not remove anything but? IDK correct me if I am reading this wrong. other than not adding anything like quick boot or idk lol most remove then add a couple things but in the end you wind up with allot less than stock.......
Sorry not trying to rain on any parade just curious

I think OP means minimalistic in terms of changes from what non-rooted users have.
Thank you for all of your hard work on the D2. With the X, the competition is stiff, and it seems/feels like there are more of us that "ended up" with a D2 out of a warranty replacement than actually made the decision to buy one.
With that said, I am formally starting a bandwagon for an actual "stock" Android OS ROM. None of this color changing, applications because i like them, better home screen, etc., etc., stuff. I want to see an "actual" Android vanilla ROM for the D2.
I can't be the minority in this request.
I appreciate all of the work that you guys do, I really do. If I had the time to invest in this, I'd build the damn thing myself, but I dont, so I have to rely on you guys.
Thanks.
I'm on the bandwagon.
I believe doing this would require cracking m-shield/efuse in order to get a custom kernel in place, which to my knowledge hasn't been done, nor am I even sure if anyone is actively working on it.

i'm not asking for a kernel. i'm asking the ROM developers to go stock with their approach as opposed to customizing. That's why i used quotes on "OS". I want a clean ROM that reflects as much as the actual Android OS as possible.

If you root your device you can clean out the stock rom yourself. Follow the remove bloatware guide. Once you clean it out you can install launcherpro which IMO is the best home replacement out there. I believe it will be some time before there is a vanilla rom for the d2. We will always need the dialer and a few other apps that are tied into other blur apps.

removing "bloat" doesn't cut it for me. i'm already running launcherpro without root and it gets me by. the ROM devs are working hard to bring things back to normal and they're doing a good job. i just don't want to have to pick between a broken phone icon and a black notification bar.
i'm not asking for miracles. i recognize that most of blur is limiting this activity. that's why i'm asking for just a clean ROM. as apks become available and more of blur can be replaced, the ROM will get better.

It is harder than you think. Moto modified many services that build with dependencies on the kernel. If we had access to Motos kernel source, then we could just build the vanilla rom directly with google source and be done. Since this is not currently an option, you need to have services that happen to be compatible with the kernal and Motos current structure which is also difficult. Its easy for simple apps that can be switched out like mail and such. But not everything is that easy to swap out. Pull and replace some services on your phone and your phone won't start, because an alternative will not work because the blur service is expressly called, or expected to function in a very "Moto way".
I don't think people are avoiding the stock approach because they don't want stock, I think it hasn't happened (yet) because Moto has made it difficult. Right now its like a Jenga tower. We keep pulling blocks to see which one won't cause the tower to fall. Pull the wrong one...oops we won't pull that one next time. If we could rebuild it from scratch, it would be much easier, because you could build it in the image you wanted opposed to doing surgery to mimic what you want.

this i get, and recognize. but if you read through current ROMs (all two of them), there ARE tweaks that i just don't want/agree with.
i dealt with this alot with WinMo and i've avoided putting ANY ROM on my D1. blur is so terrible, all i want is my D1 one back.. but in my D2's body.
I think these ROM developers simply have no choice but to do the tweaks they've done because Moto services can't just be taken out, they have to be replaced instead of the original so the phone would still work.
We just have to wait, time solves everything, even Moto

Apparently you don't get it. As stated, stock Android will require the kernel source, which we don't have.
As a former Ion and Nexus One owner who flashed probably a hundred ROMs, I can honestly say Froyo and root is enough to make me happy. Many of the tweaks custom ROMs offered are now built in (they came from AOSP to begin with) and the hardware has advanced to the point that swapper and overclocking aren't necessary. Frankly I'm not sure what more you could want that isn't possible without root and launcher replacements.

I am like you. On my D1 I only used OEM ROMs that I modifed myself. I did the same to my D2 and it runs just like my D1. Their are only two differences. Backup assistant services is still running in the backgroud and I still have the messaging app. I removed all blur widgets and all the bloatware I don't need. If I can get rid of the backup assistant I would be very close to plain ROM. Once you remove everything you can safely you are not too far away from a vanilla ROM.

Well said. This is not my first android phone either. I have also used Cyanogen and others. Root is more than enough for me.
Back in the day, the custom Roms were pushing us into new territories, giving us features we didn't already have; that was why I wanted them. Now I have everything I need with stock and root. There are so many replacement launchers, lockscreens, etc. Going vanilla is just icing on the the cake; if it ever happens at all.
All of blur's UI flaws and app quirks hardly bug me much at all; I can happily live with them if I have to. Overall, the Droid 2 is a great phone as it is ( with root of course ).
I think i might get my head bitten off for this but id be happy with a stock deoxed rom with the stupid bloat apps removed.
I've come to like the blur widgets and features, well except for the contacts sync issue with facebook.

If you goto droidforums.net and in the Xeudoxus ROM section you will see the xultimate thread which is what you need to deodex a rom yourself. If you have the android sdk installed already it is not much work to do. Just follow the instructions and read through the thread for problems that may pop up.

I am working on this. Please just wait.
Newbie here. I have rooted my D2, but I haven't yet installed a new ROM. Is there any way that I can use a D1 ROM in my D2?

Maybe I (and others) misinterpreted, but you said stock and vanilla multiple times.
Sorry, but I just don't take well to people starting threads like this. Either do the work yourself, contact a developer directly to inquire about their intentions, or sit tight and wait. It's this kind of "gimme" attitude in forums that scares away talented people.
What the hell? Do it yourself. Are you really acting like this because you don't like black notification bars? If it upsets you so much, learn how to change it. Requests are fine. Acting indignant because you don't know what "I want a vanilla ROM" means is rude.
rrockstar.kidd 2.2 ROM
ROM is rooted and includes most Samsung apps, Launcher Pro (modified) -not the latest version-, spare parts, reboot/recovery power options with the addition of toggle mobile data, themed phone/settings/mms/contacts, widgets are organized better, custom boot animation.
System has also been de-odex'd, apk's have been optimized & aligned and some apps are uninstallable including Touch Wiz.
Important Notes - Due to how this ROM is setup, Disable Lagfix, And clear dalvik and catch partition.

Is this a sfc based rom? If not why did you remove silent and how did you get the aosp lock? Nice work tho.

CM7? As in cyanogenmod v7? I wasn't aware there was a stable CM7 release for the mesmerize..
Looks nice, I finally settled on Super Clean with the Honeycomb theme, it's all setup and working like a charm... Awesome to see some more devs active on here though.
I apologize
no there isn't just got my recoverys mixed up
its the voodoo lagfix recovery I was meaning
This actually is a pretty good ROM to anyone who would like to give it a try it wont effect your data/apps if you followed the above steps
Ill download this and take it for a test drive tomorrow and give you some feedback. I've got a whole day with no work and no wife, so yeah... bring on the roms lol

This is a system update because I had to replace pretty much everything to port over the mods I was bringing forth with the ROM
The only thing this update does not touch is your app/data folder but you need to be already running some type of custom recovery to flash these updates to your phone.
And the only difference between the two versions is the kernels. So either 2.9.2 or 2.9.1 will work if I'm correct on the numbers but I flashed this to an eclair with custom recovery and it worked with no issues...
Edit* this will work from any build this is a full EC10 FROYO build the only thing needed to flash this is cwm recovery

Please name the thread correctly correctly
rrockstar.kidd, I appreciate that you are bringing more variety to the Mesmerize forum. We definitely need it, but advertising this as a FULL EC10 build when it is obviously not can cause some serious problems. First of all, if this were a full EC10 build and people were to start making themes for it, then those themes would also work on the Pick-n-Pack, because it is truly FULL EC10 build. If that were to happen, the person flashing the theme would end up in an FC hell because the theme would not be built from EC10.
EC10 Settings.apk does not have Dock settings, but the Fascinate ROMs do. So does sFc for the Mesmerize. EC10 also does not have Media player option in USB settings. It has Kies, but the Fascinate has the Media player as does sFc.
From what I can tell, you either rebuilt another Frankenstein, which is perfectly acceptable, or you just rethemed sFc, not as acceptable with the way you are marketing it and especially in the sFc thread. Either way what you should do is come clean in the OP and name it correctly and tell everyone what it truly is.
I'm not trying to flame you here. I'm just one of the few people that actually doing tech support from here and on irc, so i see all of the problems people have when the start flashing things. So when you name something FULL EC10 and it's actually Fascinate stuff, you are setting people up for a lot of problems, including the people that you SHOULD be working with to help people out.

No this is EC10 build with EC10 files and themes work perfectly as long as you dont replace certain features such as settings.apk if you want to theme the settings all you have to do is extract the one in this rom and theme it to your liking.
it contains everything you would need to upgrade from 2.1 or from another 2.2 as long as you have CWM all I did was decompile some of the jar files and apks from the fascinate and see what needed to be changed for the uscc 2.2 EC10 build and done so everything works but maps for some reason it wont upgrade it keeps giving me error -8
I think im pretty sure if someone would want to theme these files im sure flashing it afterwards for a themed rom being built off of this rom would work just fine, I been changing mine up this whole time changing this and that, but this is ACTUALLY MESMERIZE files correct me if im wrong though if you feel like trying it out or getting someone else to. I am sorry if I may have caused any confusion will change the title to just EC10. I am no great developer so naming and what I think may actually be wrong just help me out IMMA NOOB

So what I'm seeing you say, is that you have no idea what you actually did. While you were smart enough to get it to work, and you do seem really smart, you don't understand that you actually turned the ROM into a hybrid. While yes, you can build themes for just this ROM, it is very confusing for people to see FULL EC10 in the name of this and think that it isn't interchangeable with the actual EC10 build.
The reason I know all of this, is because I have tested it already. I've looked at the files. They are not EC10 and are not interchangeable. If it was purely EC10, as with other EC10 builds/mods, you could easily interchange the parts properly and they would work. With your build, it doesn't work and causes FC hell exactly like the sFc ROM pieces. I also cannot believe that you completely rebuilt the Settings.apk to include all of the things from the Fascinate, including the things that do not work. That is slightly counterproductive. I also can't believe that you just copied what the Fascinate has working and it worked. Mainly because this has been done many times by many people and it doesn't work. What does work, however, is rebuilding the Fascinate ROM so that it works on the Mesmerize. We know this works because, well, sFc...
Again, rrockstar.kidd, please don't take this as me flaming you. I really do appreciate having another dev here for the Mesmerize and Showcase if you are interested, and I would really like for you to come to the irc channel so we can talk. You obviously have enough skill to do some good work. I just want us all to get on the same page so we don't have problems with the people that are going to be flashing this stuff.
I changed alot of strings and values for the settings and I think the only thing that was brought from fascinate is framework.jar like the vzw services I don't have Verizon so I don't want vzw location on my phone i changed it to wireless network as it was before what irc channel
just curious.. hope this doesnt come across the wrong way. i realize everyone wants the latest and greatest, but why havent any dev's made a custom badass froyo based rom?
everything works, we have all the sources and bootloaders, etc.. and it can be made to look just like GB or ICS anyways with theming. it just seems like our devs would have a lot less difficult of a time getting things to work properly. i know there were a lot of difficulties faced when trying to get GB to work.. and still some features are missing
i do realize there are a few (3) modified stock froyo roms available. but nothing custom built straight from aosp. just an idea.. would anyone else be interested?

If a developer feels like running it, then it could happen but probably not. Now, somehow porting cm1 or whatever the first verson of it would be so cool, imagine telling people "ive got a pretty new phone running the software that started it all". Probably way more difficult then making ics for the infuse lol. Just based out of sheer curiosity.

There are a few things like battery management, memory manager, gtalk video that froyo does not support.
the infused 1.5 and cousins were pinnacles of their time...oc will also make it very snappy.
however, some app from market may not have all functions or display, so there is some drawbacks.
You can learn to theme...make it badass... and share?
Ya I'm by no means a developer. I can flash lol but coding is something I know NOTHING about. Not even a little bit

As a developer forum we are all about messing and trying new things. Once something new is released it is normally taken on by most of the developers. As this is not a site that focuses on Roms but on developing new and interesting stuff. You can see where it leads.
Okay, first things first: It looks like we will be able to get OTA's on custom ROM's via an OTA center for ROM builders. Apparently all they have to do is add a few lines to the build.prop section and those of us on custom ROM's (shout out to DW for TWEAK) can get updates like everyone else.
Okay, secondly: I just installed the FP5 OTA for my charge and I have NO IDEA what the hell they mean by "update UI"? It looks EXACTLY the same doodoo brown and orange as previously without any cool ICS look to it. This BETTER take care of the call quality issue or I may just switch phones. If this doesn't fix it there is no hope. Check out the FP5 thread and get your update early if your phone hasn't alerted you yet.
Third: I hear that DW is going to start working on TWEAK 2.3 (appartently a Beta is floating around) towards the end of August (middle of next week according to his post.) THANK YOU dude for keeping us all happy with an awesome ROM on PBJ.

thanks for the info... do you have a source for the first part? not that I doubt you, just like to read more about it.
thanks...

Also, if ROM Manager actually worked we could get OTAs through there.
As it is now, we can get OTAs through Tweaktools.

Let me try to find the source. I came across an article with a link to a page somewhere within XDA. I was surprised to see that they would allow custom developers to allow their downloaded ROM's to be updated over-the-air. It isn't that big a deal since we have ways to get the updates anyway, but I thought it was neat........ if it is true and available.
I'll get back to you on this....................

Here is the Droid Life article about it:
droid-life.com/2012/08/09/ota-update-center-allows-custom-rom-developers-to-push-ota-updates-to-users
Near the bottom of the page you will notice a spot about XDA (Source: XDA), which links to the XDA article. That article gives a bit more detail about it.
I posted the link to the actual OTA Update Center website above. Nothing beats going to the source. The biggest advantage I can see to this is that it should also serve to suppress carrier OTA messages since it essentially replaces that functionality. Tweaked already has an OTA of sorts in TweakTools. One of the Rezound ROM's has been doing it's own OTA's for a while now. I think they're using their own host rather than this one, but the idea is the same. I was running it when the official OTA came out and I never got the notification. Some people on other ROM's did.
