This is a ALPHA ROM so please do not ask when things will be fixed or how to fix them. Just know that they will be fixed in the next days.
We will not get into that you need to backup your stuff and please do not spam thread asking how to back up, root, or anything like that. If you are isntalling this ROM you should know how to do all that.

History of how this came to be...
AngDroid was messing with the Droid2 SDK when he decided to see if it would boot. It did needless to say. AngDroid(MotoBoy) and I began to put the peices together and this is where we are at.
The SDK is based on FRF91 which is what all VZ D2 ROMs are based on. I compared every file from FRF91 to VZW_2.4.5 and almost all of the common files were identical. The files that were present in 2.4.5 and not in FRF91 were driver files and other misc. files. The files that were in FRF91 and not in 2.4.5 were emulator files. We combined the two and added the proper packages to bring us where we are now.
We were able to remove all blur items and got the vanilla Android dialer and contacts to work, first for the D2. You will see some D2 files in ROM and it may look like 2.4.5 but that is becuase I forgot to edit the build.prop and to get market working in next release. This is a super clean ROM like what you would find in an AOSP build.
Funny thing is AngDroid nearly returned his D2 a couple of hours before this all started for a DX. His Verizon store finally got them in and he was so tempted. Good thing he did not have the box with me or he would be a new DX owner.
Known bugs:
Market will not download programs. - No fix yet. If you are the type of user who is going to use this ROM then you will know how to install your apps. Please do not spam thread asking how to install apps.
Keyboard and menu backlight not working - No fix yet.
After Master Clear from within OS when you are prompted to Activate you will not see dialpad. Just slide out keyboard, press 1 and activate.
I am sure there are a few more bugs but that is most noticable right now.

How to get back to stock if you are having issues:
1. You will need to flash a sbf, you can find guides here on the forums.
2. Reboot recovery by pressing X on the keyboard and turning it on
3. Press the search key so a menu pops up
4. Navigate to wipe data with the volume keys. Select with the camera button.
5. Then navigate to reboot with the volume keys and select with the camera key.
You are back to stock and you can root!
The File Manager was included in this rom so you are able to install the Bootstrap application so you can restore a back up or flash a different rom. Wipe your data after this.
DO NOT FLASH THEMES!

Yes it needs work but it works!!!!!!!!!
Maybe beta build tomorrow or in a couple of days. Need phone as phone and need to test a bit more. The beta build is in some testers hands and we are getting good feedback.
Also, doing all this I think I MAY have figured out a way to get a different kernel going. This phone is my only phone including landline and I can not be SBFing all day like what I did from Friday to Monday to get this sucker running. I can not give a time frame on how long it would take but it might be POSSIBLE

You two are amazing! Great work on this and this is a great accomplishment.
This is great news! It's nice to see development still continuing on this phone, despite seeing some disheartening twitter posts about how the bootloader is not going to get cracked
Fantastic! I was just bemoanig the fact that my phone was working to well (ORD, you know) so I'm in.
I like! Sooooo sexy!
By the way, to all you news who are wondering how to install roms on your device or where to find Koush Bootstrapper, or how to make a back-up, check the "Information Directory!"
This may be a crappy question but will this bring us any closer to getting cyanogen mod or sense on our phones?

CM6 yes, sense probably not.
I'm using this. So far so good. Memory is a good 100mb higher that usual. Only bug I have found is kind of sporatice. Sometimes when I open my keyboard to respond to a text it doesnt write. I just close the messenger and reopen and its fine. I'm trying to figure out how to repeat it but can't.
Please read post #2 for major updates!
Post 2 says you squashed the Market download bug, but I am still not able to download anything. And yes, I followed your instructions to the letter including doing a factory reset after booting up.

Alpha build has been pulled.
Thanks again Matt. You guys rock!
This is great, can't wait to get a final build of this up and running on my D2! I'm also extremely excited to hear you might have a way to run a custom kernel. I was reading some posts over on droidforums (I think it was droid forums) about the AOSP guys using a rather complex boot sequence (they said essentially, a 2nd boot) to get the phone to load a custom kernel.

Verizon 2.4.5 ROM
Thanks to PiranhaDroid & RedFlea for helping me obtain system dump!
DO NOT USE THIS ROM ON R2-D2 Droid2!!!
Check Post #3 for Swype fix.
Clean ROM users check post #3 for status widget fix.
(Clean ROM now has widget fix built in)
I have gone to a new way of making ROMs which will allow users to add what they like through update zip files. So you will start off with a clean ROM. Your start off ROMs will be the following:
All are based on 2.4.5 VZW Software
Super Clean with default google apps
Super Clean with default google apps but with Bluremail. Bluremail is a nice exchange or email client for those that dont use Gmail.
They will come with the Black Bar Theme or Default Droid2 theme. Also there is a black bar theme with default vanilla android icons.
From there you will have pre-made packages to install.
Example, you want widgets...so you download the widget.zip file and update it through recovery. You want Droid2 Gallery, you download Droid2 Gallery and update through recovery, you want complete blur with all social apps...well you get the idea. Plus many more options and setups. You can also install whatever you want manually, I will have instructions on how to do that. It will be a good way to learn the basics of Android too.
I am finishing up testing the base ROMs and packages so I should have them up later on tonight or tomorrow at some point.
I will no longer be answering questions about the current ROMs. I am taking the time to rebuild everything. It was all done from the ground up and I must say the new ROMs feel smoother and seem a lot more stable.
They will be posted in my new ROM thread found HERE.
Thanks for all the support!
Pre-Installation Tasks:
Before you install this ROM or any ROM you will need to have root and have Bootstrap on your phone. You can find out how to do all that HERE.
BACKUP your phone using Bootstrap before installing any ROMs so you can go back to your current setup if anything fails.
ROM Notes:
All ROMs have Gmail, Kindle, Skype, My Verizon and Google Maps removed. There are new versions in Android Market for you to download and install.
All ROMs have root already and you just need to download Superuser from Android Market to obatin root.
All ROMs have been deodexed and zip alligned.
All ROMs have busybox installed.
There are a few versions of this 2.4.5 ROM decide which is best for you and follow ALL instructions.
Stars Wars Full ROM - Contains all the original ROM (Even Bloatware) files besides the apps listed above.
VZW 2.4.5 Full ROM - Contains all original ROM (Even Bloatware) files besides the apps listed above. All Star Wars items have been replaced with Droid2 items. So we have the latest 2.4.5 ROM without Star Wars if that is what you are looking for. All Star Wars material that was removed will placed on SD Card in a folder named Removed_Packages in case you would like to reinstall some missing apps.
VZW 2.4.5 Clean ROM - All 3rd party apps and bloatware have been removed. Basically a clean stock ROM with Blur. All apps that are removed will be placed on your SD Card in a folder named Removed_Packages in case you would like to reinstall some missing apps.
VZW 2.4.5 Super Clean ROM - This is a ROM with all Blur, bloatware and 3rd party apps removed. You are left with the Vanilla Android SMS-MMS, Calander, Clock, Email and Gallery applications.
Install Instructions - All ROMs!

If I already have 2.4.0 installed do I still have to wipe everything? And does this rom adds stability on top of the 2.4.0?

It is up to you. I would suggest to wipe since this is the retail build and 2.4.0 was a pre-release build. You can always try not wiping first and see how it goes.

Here's my logic, if 2.4.0 is almost the same is 2.4.5 build then why wipe? and all the stuff is the same I assume, so I think I'm going to try to not wipe since I did no modification to the phone after I flahsed the 2.4.0 except put on the R2D2 lock screen
But thanks for the quick reply

In theory it should work by not wiping but if one does run into trouble then reinstalling with a wipe is the first step I would suggest.
Will it be possible to have the super clean ROM but reinstall Blur dialer/contacts and texting if one chooses?
you've made me a happy man. great roms dude.
wait!!! i notice you've removed the instructions for the super clean rom. does that mean that i can install that right off the bat?

Don't we all...that is something we need the bootloader cracked for. Contacts is tied into dialer which is tied into the kernel...blah blah blah.

About ROM:
This is a cross between Vanilla & Blur. Minimal amount of Blur added so apps like Car Dock, D2/DX Exchange Email, Music, Camera, Gallery, Contacts can run and are inncluded with ROM.

Is this based off original vzw/moto rom or is this vanilla fission with blur added back in?
Cant figure out if i should switch to this from fission 2.0.1 to this ornot. Isit as fast or faster than fission? Also are you done working on fission roms?
Can i have circle batt on this rom like revolution-remix?
hey tried this out and mostly everything works great. all the apps work, everythings smooth, grea work! the only thing that im having a problem is with the google search app. whenever i start typing it force closes on me everythime. already tried restarting and everything. i came from fission 2.0.2. followed all the directions

No not done...some people asked for a few packages from blur that would not run on Fission so I threw this together. I am having a hard time figuring out what I am going to run too. I do like the upgraded camer and media packages...

Yes so to make sure all Blur apps work. And all the tweaks in Fission have been carried over. The two bases are not much different...
Love having this ROM - really missed the D2 Exchange email app...seems very quick and smooth.
Only problem I've found so far is that Exchange email accounts will sync email and calendar, but not contacts...can't get any of my Exchange contacts to sync to the phone.
Once that gets fixed, this will likely become my preferred ROM - best of both worlds!
Edit: Nevermind, got the download and it works wonderfully! Thank you!
hey angdroid that fixed my google search problem thanks. also whenever i press the regular email app it closes automatically. the gmail one works perfectly though.
Good timing with this - I was just about ready to go back to a deodexed 2.3.20 and manually pick some things out of it because the moto exchange email was something I've found I really missed too.
Will give this one a shot - thanks again.
um....can anyone post some quadrant scores? thanks
I tried to install swype, but got FC, any solutions?
back to 2.0.2
how do i get the gallery from 2.1 abdroid back on instead of the blur one?

Version 1.1
What is the ACS Updater?
ACS Updater is an app for android devices that allows you to download and install custom roms, kernels, themes, and modems from the internet on the fly. It's very simple to use: run the app, select what you want to install. You will get a screen asking if you want to wipe cache / backup first. Select options, and hit OK. The file will download from the net to /sdcard/ACSDownloads, and when complete, will reboot into recovery and install automatically.
Backup and Restore can also be done via the app, as well as Installing from SD Card, and even Install from URL - put in whatever URL you want, and it will download and install (if you put in a URL to something that isn't a flashable zip, and try to install it, that's your fault.)
In future releases, there will be more goodies, stay tuned!
Notes:
If you choose not to wipe cache, and the flash goes bad, that's on you. It's there as an option, but I'm not going to force it.
If you hit an area (such as Themes), and it says nothing available:
Developer's have not submitted anything for your device
Servers are temporarily down - try again in a couple minutes
This App depends on a custom recovery which includes extendedcommands

ACS updater documentation:
ACS updater: ACS updater is an app developed by ACSyndicate member Parabola and themed by Graphics Designer and ACSyndicate member Zhkilla. The app will allow users to install varioius ACS themes, kernels, roms, modems (radios), as well as files found on the sd card and on user selected URL’s. The app will also function as a custom recovery providing the user the option to create and restore nandroid backups that are stored on the sd card. The main interface of the app is a menu screen with the following selectable menus. The ACS updater recognizes the users devices and points them to appropriate directory for available downloads.
Install ROM: takes users to the directory specific to their device and serves them available ROMS. After user selects the apporpriate ROM the ACS updater will prompt the user to:
A. Clear Cache and/or B. Backup (Nandroid) the ACS updater will then download and flash the appropriate file automatically.
Install Kernel: takes users to directory specific to their device and serves them available Kernels. After user selects the appropriate Kernel the ACS updater will prompt the user to: A. Clear Cache and/or B. Backup (Nandroid). The ACS updater will then download and flash the appropriate file automatically.
Install Theme: takes users to directory specific to their device and serves them available Themes. After user selects the appropriate Theme the ACS updater will prompt the user to: A. Clear Cache and/or B. Backup (Nandroid).The ACS updater will then download and flash the appropriate file automatically.
Install Modem: takes users to directory specific to their device and serves them available Modem. After user selects the appropriate Modem the ACS updater will prompt the user to: A. Clear Cache and/or B. Backup (Nandroid). the ACS updater will then download and flash the appropriate file automatically
Install from SD Card: this will allow user to flash files from their SD card. The conents of their SD card will then appear on the screen. The ACS updater will prompt the user to: A. Clear Cache and/or B. Backup (Nandroid). The ACS updater will then download and flash the appropriate file automatically.
Download from URL: The download from URL option allows the user to input a url to download files to be flashed from. ACS updater handles these files in the same way as those listed above.
Backup: Allows users to create Nandroid backups. The user can select a name for their back up. The phone reboots into recovery and makes a full Nandroid backup.
Restore: allows users to restore Nandroid backups from SD card root.
This looks really well done. Does this work in conjunction with a recovery like amon_ra or does it work independently of the existing recovery?
Very nice looking work here, guys.

It's meant to work with any recovery that has extendedcommands (except stock...)
So it should work with amon-ra, definitely works with clockwork.
Thanks for the kind words!
you guys are the best.
Thank you, this looks awesome.

Nice work. Glad to see some new stuff from ACS. Srf 1.1.1 is what convinced me to root my phone in the first place.
On the QB video he has a few themes and roms I'm coming up with nothing right now???

For the epic? Parabola is updating the server and uploading more and more things
is this app going to support the CyanogenMod and MIUI community? What about nightlys? i do like this app for easy access to modems and kernels but everything else seems like what Rom Manager does no offense to anyone.
Wonderful job guys! really hope this takes off.

It happens sometimes. However, if your build.prop ro.product.device field has been modified, and no longer says SPH-D700 - you'll get nothing. That's how it knows what to look for.

Update -
We are currently experiencing some server side issues with the host. We will be migrating to a new server soon, and will be publishing a new version of the app to accommodate the server change. With this new version we will also be adding a couple goodies, so stay tuned
You guys are awesome. Quick question, some roms you would have to flash the rom, and then immediately flash a kernal after (like SRF 1.2) how does that work with this? Since some people would be stuck on the samsung screen because they didn't flash a kernal right after they flashed the rom.
Flash the kernel before the Rom....I Believe!

Oh okay, wiping all data before flashing the rom wont get rid of the kernal?
flimsy888 said:

and what if the kernel is a different version of android than the current rom?
Also, I suggest some sort of version check just for that reason. Just to help idiot proof people from putting a froyo kernel on their ef02 build... or vice versa in the future.
STANDARD DISCLAIMER You are installing this ROM at your own risk. I am not responsible if you brick or anything. This is my daily driver, it has given me excellent battery life (actually goes to deep sleep).
THIS IS AT&T Skyrocket ONLY. Since the Kernel is included in this ROM and is cooked for AT&T only.
ChangeLog:
04/14/2012: Embryo 1.1 - Update
* Added call recording. (removed, Add Call button)
* Added El Librator 15toggle blue theme. (thanks El Liberator, you can thank him here).
* removed couple of bloat items
* Incorporated all patches from 1.0 onwards.
- Blue Circle battery.
- Autocorrect dictionary pack added.
Updates:
08APR2012: Upon request, providing the Circle Battery Mod, as a separate CWM zip. Note: this goes on top of the Embryo-1.0 base.
Introduction:
This ROM is my daily driver. I have deodexed ONE file at a time with the only bootclasspath required for each APK, yes I am a little bit anal about these things. No Kitchen or random dump everything in the classpath and deodex.
This is completely debloated. Purged with care and testing. If you need any app missing let me know I will give you the APK.
This is a basically *my* ROM, please no ETA. I do this to customize android to my liking. This is NOT themed, it is as stock as you can get.
Features:
* Guranteed to be smooth as butter .
* 15 toggle mod from wanam lite painfully ported to our skyrocket. (thanks to lidroid and wanam).
* Tethering support. (yup, it works)
* Stock Kernel 3.0.8-perf with ramfs mods (adb root, insecure, boot animation, run-parts or init.d support, usb debugging enabled)
* host files (adblock)
* Debloated (painfully removed all bloat)
* deodexed and zipaligned with care.
* busybox
* SuperSU v0.87 from ChainFire
* bash
* build.prop tweaks
* Titanium Backup preinstalled.
* auto zipalign any new apps (via init.d)
* Updated to latest Google apps
* Circle Battery Mod as a separate CWM zip. Please see below. (NOT part of Embryo 1.0 base).
* can't remember..will add

Installation (For Update)
For updates please make sure, you are on Embryo-1.0 base.
* Place the update zip on SD Card.
* boot into CWM recovery
* Wipe Cache.
* Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache
* Choose zip from sdcard.
* select the update file and flash.
* please let it settle, as it would need to rebuild the cache.
Installation (For Full Wipe)
This is important, please follow the instructions carefully. Also, you need the UCALC4 modems, if you don't have it, let me know I will upload it, download link in the end.
Backup:
Make sure you back up your data. I typically use TiBu, to move from ROM to ROM. Just backup "user" apps do NOT attempt to restore system app or data.
Prep:
Make sure you copied the rom and if necessary the modem into your SD card (internal or external, as the touch recovery can show both).
Install Procedure:
Make an Nandroid backup, in case you want to revert.
Go into Clockword Recovery. I personally use this ClockworkMod Touch 5.5.0.4.
Wipe data/cache partition (complete the action by selecting the Yes row)
Go into Mounts and Storage -> Select Format /system (complete the action, by selecting Yes row)
Did you WIPE Data/Cache and Format System as detailed in Step 2), 3) and 4). Please do it.
Did you really do Step 2) 3) and 4)?? If not please do it!!
The reason I am emphasizing Step 2),3) and 4) is because, the update script will NOT do that for you. I have intentionally not incorporated into it, as I found the format command to be unreliable, in the recoveries I have encountered so far. But, in the touch recovery it works flawlessly when executed from the CWM Menu.
Now, select the ZIP you downloaded and go through the install.
Enjoy!! the super fast and smooth ROM.

FAQ
What bloatware has been removed?
Except for Samsung touchwiz and Keyboard, all AT&T bloatware, Samsung Bloatware (including wallpapers) have been purged . If you need any apk let me know I will create the CWM zip and post it.
When I do About Phone -> Software Update, nothing happens?
Yup, OTA update APK's have been removed. Since it appears the SR OTA updates require the standard recovery, which you will not have if you are installing custom ROM and if the ROM fingerprint has changed, you will need to ODIN back to Stock. So what's the point I say in having it around .
Is Tethering supported in this ROM?
Yup the WiFi Hotspot will work, just make sure don't enable the switch in the configuration screen. The USB tethering also should work, let me know. Yeah you will get the "Portable Wi-Fi not supported" message, but it is ok. Also, the device list will not show up too, since I have removed the TetheringManager apk.
As a side note, I have seen the HotSpot work with the 15toggle mod, without the mods .
Contacts and Dialer lag?
Well, this seems to be a common problem in the leaked ICS. I have switched to evDialer exDialer (if you have not, try it!) from the Market. Also, I need the damn Contacts tab in the Dialer, I don't know why this has been removed in ICS, sigh. I might try to take a stab at fixing it, but I need the contacts tab on the dialer, so interest is low .
Can I change the Buttons Order in the 15Mod Toggle Panel?
Sure, you can. Just use the included QuickPanelSettings App.
Thanks for all your effort in making this rom!!! Gonna give this a test run when available and report back later!

Can you list the bloatware you removed or provide screen shots? i know its stock i just want to know what im getting into before i start flashing
I added the screenshots. Bloatware removed all ATT bloatware, and all Samsung Bloatware, except TouchWiz and Keyboard. If you need anything let me know, I can give you the apks.

Damn it ha and last question I'm coming from nexxus mod with ucla 3 radio is it safe to flash over as long as I follow directions and do a super wipe or should I installed the leak first and then go from there

I would install it from the ICS leak, as you will be pristine. I will see if I have time later to post the UCALC4 radio, since I have to dd the partitions and they will be 100MB each (i.e. total 200MB), I would rather people use the ICS leak and then install the CWM (via ODIN, I can post one).
Thanks for ROM. Got link for radio?
I'm downloading this (first jump to ICS) because the OP sounds like a bad ass.

Youth version reuploaded, battery fixed!
I am having problems with this rom, i have followed the development of this rom, i have flashed multiple versions of the youth rom, and the elite version.
Sometimes at the first boot, it would say "phone memory corrupted, please format"
And sometimes, after a while of using it, it would suddenly freeze, or show a black screen, and if i then pull the battery to make it respond, the whole phone would have reset itself to a few days ago, meaning i lost installed apps of the past few days, whatsapp chat history, pictures taken which are on my sd card!
If anyone could help me fix this problem it would be greatly appreciated!
