Im trying to use an addblocker for my Droid 2 Global but it says I need to install a kernel module. I understand some basics of what a kernel is but is a module like an addon or a patch or something? Is it something I can download or do I need to build or compile it myself? Call me a n00b but its the last thing I want to do to my phone. No more adds!

Adfree works on the D2 it's in the market. I'd try it for the D2G it doesn't need a module as far as I know.

I guess they require some sort of net filter on the kernel. Much simplier is to use adfree from market as above poster recommended. It works great on D2g. No kernel modules required. Root is required though.

Adfree works like a charm. Thank y'all. Cheers!

Okay, I have a Droid X, I rooted with z4, got kouch's bootstrapper and running 928s theme. I am lost on this entire process of switching programs. Im suppose to be deoxed by the 928 theme, but dunno if I am. I guess I need help picking a new theme and figuring out how to do it from where I am now.
If you successfully loaded a new theme then you are definitely deodexed now.

Or just use root explorer, got to system, then apps and see if there are any deoex files. If not, you are fine.
I recently got my droid 2 global rooted with Z4Root and I was wondering what version of clockworkmod recovery to use, if any at all, because I'm looking to install Fission onto my phone but when I use the default android recovery all I get is a screen with a triangle with a ! inside it with an android robot next to it. What is the procedure to get a custom ROM onto this phone?
Search Market for Droid X Bootstrap Recovery cost $2, as D2G is similar in a lot of ways. Another way is to search the forums and it will be free.

P.S.
Thank you button is there for a reason!
No, you need to get the droid 2 bootstrap, i havent heard of anyone using the droid x bootstrap on a d2g, but the droid 2 bootstrapper is the one everyone uses

Yep Rusty is correct!
I agree, D2 Bootstrap. I have tired both, but on the safe side D2Bootstrap
Has anyone gotten Netflix to work (rooted/nonrooted)..
& Has anyone gotten a Wiimote app to work? I can confirm they don't work on Stock, but what about root?
Thanks.
I've tried every version of Netflix I can find (modded, device check removed, stock), can't get any to work. I'm rooted running altered beast rom v4.
I saw another method for Netflix. If you're rooted you can edit the build.prop file to make it look like you have a different supported device. I haven't tried this. It seems like a hassel and I'm not very confident it would work.

Do you have a Wiimote? Would you try RWiiMote ? It's free on the android market.

Are you looking for one? If so, Google 'pete's root tools'. It's about as one click as you can get with the d2.
I was able to root the D2G running a freshly-SBF'd .608 Gingerbread with SuperOneClick. Just google SuperOneClick.
on windows i think superoneclick is about as easy as it gets, as long as you follow the directions about when to enable/disable usb debugging if it gets stuck.
on linux i used the droid3 root tools
Ubuntu?

thanks a lot, this worked
For what it's worth, the newest SuperOneClick will work on D2G's running .608.
Hey, I'm just wondering if there have been any new developments on this. My Droid 2 Global's system version is 4.5.629.A956.Verizon.enUS
magic md5 root (my instructions) works
xda thread
or you can try
Root Droid 2 on Gingerbread 2.3.4 [WINDOWS]
I can't get it to work, but Tomsgt has a how to video
Super one click root
it's for D2 but if it works on d2 it should work on D2G
I'm somewhat a noob to custom ROMs, and looking for a bit of information before I decide to flash a new one. I have a Verizon Droid MAXX Developer Edition (XT1080) with the current KitKat 4.4 installed. I'm looking to try the nightly CM11 out. I have already unlocked the bootloader, its not rooted just yet though.
In another forum thread located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2654816
A user posted a link to http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=moto_msm8960dt (3 downloads, I'm not sure which one to choose for my device)
I'm wanting to know if this build would work on my phone before I flash and possibly mess something up, and also does Verizon work okay on this build. Is there anything else I should know before flashing a ROM (I'm somewhat tech savvy, so the process seems pretty straight forward, but any advice is appreciated)
I would have posted the question in that thread but I didn't want to break any rules, which says to Q/A here.

Obviously you need to have a custom recovery installed and get root. All three of those builds are for our phone. They are "nightlies" that get updated, well, nightly. I ran the 2/19 build for a little while and it worked pretty well. GPS was the only thing that didn't work and I think there is a work around for that. Active notifications and touchless controls are not part of cm.

I'm not worried about GPS or the Motorola controls.
Do you recommend a good recovery to flash? Also I've seen people posting problems when rooting this phone with 4.4 installed.
Any reason why you reverted back? Didn't like it?

I use TWRP. No problems rooting the Dev edition on 4.4 the problems are all with the consumer edition. I've never been a big CM fan plus I like having a working GPS, and I just didn't feel like going through the steps to get it working
CM seems to be good for my first custom ROM, but for future references do you recommend another ROM? I've seen that PACMAN ROM posted a bunch, but it looks pretty buggy.

CM 11 is pretty much it for our phones right now. You can flash the firmware for the Moto X and try those ROMs though.
One last thing as far as rooting goes. Do I use rock my moto to root. Also if I should decide to keep my stock ROM are there any advantages to rooting other than apps like titanium backup etc?

then try to install cyanogen (i already did)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50515668
So with xposed you can customize a current ROM without having to flash to cyanogenmod? I like the stock ROM but I'd like to be able to change certain designs (example: change the way my notification bar looks. Maybe battery icons and change menus within settings. Etc ) Just trying to really see the benefit of flashing another ROM if what I'm wanting to do can be done through a 3rd party program.

Just root and use xposed. I used to put custom ROMs on other phones. For this xposed is all that's necessary

When I first installed CM11 it looked almost exactly like my stock set up using the Google launcher and xposed. The only advantage CM provides that I can see is the ability to tweak the kernel settings, if you are into that sort of thing.

I appreciate all the help so far. I think I will try xposed out and see what I can tweak as far as display settings.
I'm assuming no custom recovery is required for this, only rooting. I like some aspects of cyanogenmod but for this also being my work phone, I don't want to risk messing up my network settings etc.
When you root, can you still update your stock OS? Or do you need to unroot before each update?
