So after seeing many things that is said with the D2 I thought I should write a post like this. This is just to clear up confusion so users can have the knowledge to use in the future.
Every ROM for the D2 is AOSP
I have seen this said many times and it bugs me that people think that all ROMs are AOSP. As of now, there are actually only a few AOSP ROMs for the D2, cvpcs' Tanzanite/Obsidian, Cobalt, and blackdroid's Ultimate Droid. Other ROMs like rubiX, Liberty, ApeX, and Fission are basically Motorola ROMs with the blur applications replaced with AOSP applications. Now this does not actually make it AOSP. It has features from AOSP, but there is much more to it than the applications. These blur-based ROMs actually have other AOSP-like features, such as lock screen music controls and a few others. Now that also doesn't make it AOSP, those are just a few features that were originally modifications to AOSP to add more functionality to a ROM. That doesn't mean these ROMs are bad in any way. They are actually very good. The only downfall of them is the fact that they are limited to what can be done.
There can't be AOSP ROMs without a custom kernel.
Another statement I have been told or have seen several times. It is considered AOSP if it comes from Google's source. A kernel won't affect the fact that it was built from source. Although it would be ideal for a custom kernel with AOSP, it isn't needed.
A custom kernel is needed.
This is another incorrect statement. It would be nice to replace the kernel, but it isn't needed. The kernel that is provided to us from Motorola includes basically everything the end user would need. Also there is overclocking(although it isn't the easiest implementation) by adding a temporary module to the kernel that is erased after the phone is powered off.
Gingerbread won't come to the D2 until Motorola releases a new kernel with their Gingerbread update.
Incorrect. What the original concern was that Gingerbread would not boot with a .32 kernel(the kernel the D2 has.) and that it needs a .35 kernel. This was later proven wrong with D1. The D1 has been running Gingerbread for a bit now with a .32 kernel. Now I know people will say it is is a different kernel or something along those lines, but that doesn't matter. Gingerbread will boot on it without needing to replace the current kernel.
Fantastic post. Very clear, informative and I learnt more in the 2 minutes reading your post than the hours I've spent reading other threads.
Top stuff.
"Most truths were once deemed blasphemy"
Whats taking so long for Gingerbread then?!
Nice write up, very informative.
Matt, can you check out the MIUI thread in D2 development? Another developer and I are working on the port but we need someone with really good D2 experience to look over the rom and tell us why it gets stuck on the moto logo each time, we would really appreciate it if you could check it out for us.
Thanks,
ljbaumer
P.S. nice post it's really clear and will help out noobs.

Matt I would have to ask nicely along with ljbaumer, if you wouldnt mind taking a look at the rom dev section for the MIUI D2 rom!
I know you lost your D2 and no longer have it but anything could help them w/ progress
Would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

This is now irrelevant, take a quick jaunt over to MDW where P3Droid has released full stock moto gingerbread builds for both D2 and DX in update.zip formats (new blur builds). Only catch with them at this time is that no one has figured out how to root them yet, but you can restore back with a previous SBF.
What differences could be expected if GB were to be paired with a .35 kernel rather than the .32 kernel of the current Moto GB leak?

I'm pretty sure they've rooted the GB builds... I had superuser access and could boot to recovery and everything. You do have to SBF back to them though, I learned that the hard way.
I am running the rooted Gb and loving it. I would love to see a cm7 version for the Droid 2

DX is supposedly getting the GB OTA, so the D2 should be next and soon!

Basically, due to a few of my friends having this phone and the lack of development here, I'm going to attempt to whip out a rom or two.
I plan to start with a stock rom, deodexed, zip aligned, optimized, bloatware removed, blur removed, ADW or GO launcher added..custom kernel..we'll see. I'd like to eventually port a few roms, but we really need a stable and legit Froyo rom to get anything stably ported.
At the moment, the only stock rom I have is a .SBF. Unfortunately I have no idea how to decompile this and the kitchen I plan to use won't do it either. I've tried ezxcodec, sbfcodec, and sbftool to open the file and none of which will work!
Currently I'm not around one of my friends with the phone, so I can't do this myself. We have some pretty bad weather conditions around here right now and I might not see him for a day or so.
So, what I need is a CLEAN nandroid. Preferably, fresh flash, root, nandroid..it would be great if you could run the optimizer script before nandroid also. As my testing time is somewhat limited since I don't have the device.
BUT please be sure this is a fresh flash with no sim card in or Google info ever entered...I don't want to accidentally get someone's private info.
Please send me a message if you can help me out and let's get the long over due development started.
Are you going to attempt to work with the Korean 2.2 ROM or the 2.1?
I think the 2.2 would be the one that would most benefit this community at this point. I know that the biggest piece to the Korean 2.2 ROM is that it does not work in the 1700/2100 Mhz range to allow US 3G service. Maybe this is something that you could help us to fix?
No matter what you end up doing, it is much appreciated.
I think I could knock out a nice 2.1 rather quickly, enough to hold people over while I work on a 2.2 rom. A cleaned up 2.1 would be much faster, better on battery, and still maintain stock functionality and stability..and would only take a little work to be released.
Has the radio issue been explored at all yet or is it still unknown to the cause? I could certainly work on Froyo, as a stable-ish 2.2 rom would lead to the ability to port other roms to the XT but I want to get a stable 2.1 out first.
The other problem is that I don't actually own the device, so testing is somewhat limited..
Either way, I need a nandroid before I can get started with anything because nothing seems to decompile these SBF files.. :-/
custom kernel? just curious how are you going to flash it in? are you aware that the bootloader is locked?
i've got a spare xt720 at home, i'll try to do a flash install and upload the nandroid when i have time.
Thank you.
Crap I forgot about the locked bootloader..I come from all HTC devices and forget about how locked down Moto is.
There is a thread already working on a custom kernel, which once completed could be baked into a rom and flashed with open recovery. However, since there's no source released, it's still in development..
Back to the locked bootloader tho, what additional limitations does this place on custom roms? I'm assuming it means no custom roms? Which would mean that unless someone manages to unlock the bootloader we're limited to only official Moto roms/leaks? I hadn't even fully considered that issue...
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Ok so from my understanding, due to the locked bootloader, any rom built around a custom kernel can't be fully ported and retain all functionality unless its somehow piggy backed on the stock kernel.
So a modded stock rom would work fine then, right?
Once a working open source kernel is out, either for 2.1 or 2.2, at that point we can begin to modify it to work with different rom ports.
I'm going to continue research and hopefully will have a clean 2.1 out soon, so there will be something to play around with.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I will upload my nandroid later tonight for u. U can get the system.img from a link on navalynts abandoned thread if u wanna start now. The boot.img i uploaded was from 2.1 (im an idiot) so ill upload the right one later.
I looked thru that thread and couldn't find anything useful..I'd greatly appreciate it if you can upload the nandroid, I would like a full nandroid of 2.1 and the 2.2 leak if possible (the original 2.2 nandroid was pulled), as I'm currently unable to find a way to recompile the official SBF files from Moto. I won't be able to work on this till tonight tho, so no rush on anything.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
On one of the last pages of the thread someone posted the link. Navalynt took down. It only contains system tho. Yea i work all day so it wont be till tonight grill i can post it.
Thanks man. Please do 2.1 first so we can get a stable/clean/fast rom out, then work on the Froyo issues, since it seems to be very buggy at the moment!
Hopefully will have a stable rom and a WIP rom ready by the weekend. Since testing is limited, it may take a little while longer than desired, but this forum knows how to wait lol..
Hi,
Well we have an Froyo Kernel (UK,Orange,Chinese) well the guys at the XT720 got Froyo with 2.1 UK Kernel to Work.
Someone gonna try 2.3 with 2.2. UK/Orange Kernel?
That would be something really nice we could work on
Cause with 2.2 UK / Orange we have perfect working Froyo, now there ist only 720p (half done) ,FM-Transmitter (seems impossible) and finally Bootloader Cracking(really hard work) left for Developers
We could use CM7 or Milestone Gingerbread Port

Unfortunately I can't find any information that they actually used the kexec method to load a fully custom kernel. I'm hoping they are still hiding it for the public to get rid of bugs. I fear though it's never going to happen. Despite that fear, a true CM7 on our Defy with a Moto kernel would already be quite nice. The custom roms so far are nice, but they are nothing more than adaptations of the original firmware. There is still Moto stuff in them, and don't we all just want to have Gingerbread on our Defy?
Honesty.... Gingerbread is the worst update google has done.. might as well wait for Icecream for some REAL update besides some phone off animations. Before we even got a froyo rom I attempted to port it with advice I got from dexter awhile ago... obviously didn't work.

All I can say is can't wait for blurless tmous froyo (cue jboogie)
2.3 doesn't seem to do much really...
It would be nice to have the latest ginger just to have the latest ginger to keep our Defy up to date.
I agree with jboogie3, it would be better keep some energy to concentrate our efforts on the next release during this time if you don't like blur stuff I would advise the latest jboogie3 rom which is really fast and as blurless as it's reasonable to be (only miss ginger keyboard which has improvements and drawbacks .
A core CM port would be nice though.

I hope Motorola gives defy little ginger, because froyo its close to final release.
I think that Motorola developers will not stop there.

Unfortunately even the deblurred ROMs aren't running stock apps. They still have Moto contacts, moto dialler, cmp and more at a minimum, not to mention there are moto services you can't get rid of.
It's not that I don't appreciate the work the devs are doing with ROMs but all I really want is a proper Froyo stock ROM, maybe one day I'll get bothered enough to try and make one

at this moment the most we can do with rom deblur, is to change
some applications aosp with some blur .... not easy to delete all app
motorola, there are some default app that you just replace them, but must rewrite the correct library for it to work properly, such (for example) as a keyboard (or gingerbread Android) ..
Everyone, could you plz save your efforts with all the blur roms and start baking stock roms cz I believe it is possible but just needs alot of work, so to all the devs here can u all work on the same project of unlocking the bootloader and porting stock roms, plz!!!
are you serious?

Gingerbread keyboard works dandy on my defy.
There is a port for 2.2 devices...
Gingerbread is all in all a nice update. made my hd2 faster, better looking and added this little orange bumps to the lists...
btw: 2.3.3 enables a lot of apps made for multiple processors.
There are many kernel sources (and more sources) available on motodev
ex:
https://opensource.motorola.com/sf/go/projects.moto_defy/frs.defy_skt.jdskt_u3_02_20_0
https://opensource.motorola.com/sf/...ects.moto_defy/frs.defy_latam.jorla_u3_6_14_5
There are sources of the 2.1.1, but i find nothing related to the 3.4.2 build
but kernel Makefile shows v2.6.29 and not 2.6.32
(Disclaimer: I am new to the forum so I can't post this in the below mentioned threads because I haven't posted enough.)
Hey Ya'll I'm relatively new to the Samsung Showcase and rooted the 2.1 and installed the VOODOO for the Sound improvements! and I loved it.
Today because I can't leave well enough alone I updated to Froyo with the PnP rom.
I saw the thread '[ROM] Showcase AOSP Froyo V0.9, Voodoo AOSP kernel, and GAPPS 3/15/2011' but when I saw all the things that didn't work on it (camera, video camera, Bluetooth) I thought I'd investigate more before I did anymore!
I have a problem with doing things I don't fully understand as long as I understand the instructions.
Can some one tell me what the AOSP Froyo V0.9 Rom is (and how its better, worse different from the EB11 PnP 0.3)
About the Voodoo kernal in the above thread? and how its different than the kernal in this thread, [KERNEL] voodoo for eb11 fix release
What is the GAPPS?
I would really like the Sound improvements and I saw that its not available yet...and the lagfix isn't enough of a change for me at this time to remove the function of the camera, video camera, and bluetooth headset.
So can someone clear this up for me. I've read the entire thread of each of the above mentioned threads and they are more about bugs and for people that already know about of their function?
THanks in advance!

So AOSP stands for Android Open Source P but, any idea why some would use this instead of the Pick N Pack Rom I'm using...and if I can use the Voodoo Kernel with it or if I have to use the AOSP ROM. I guess I'm kind of looking for the features and benefits of different ROMS.
In addition I'm also using this post to get my 10 post up so I can just post this question in the Development thread.

Different ROM's have different benefits, it's all up to the user. Like I said, google it, do some research and find out for yourself what ROM's are all about. MIUI, CyanogenMod and AOSP are all different types of custom ROM's.

There is a new leak of gingerbread out for the SGS over in the I9000, and apparently this is supposed to be version that will be the official release.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009177
Nice, hopefully it doesn't take forever to see it officially released like it did with Froyo!
Waiting for source
I'm not too worried about AT&T, I believe once the source is released we will have many official releases XDA style
once the source is out we will have it. thank god for xda! and of coarse supercurio! i have been rocking out to music for the last couple days thanks to voodoo sound, not that the sound was bad before but now i can really appreciate it. also getting some better iem's (in ear monitors) the samsung ones are ok, well for an included accessory they are amazing but nothing compared to what is out there. i wouldnt think about getting a different phone right now. but i will see if the infuse has the hifi wolfson amp in it. the galaxy s 2 looks amazing but makes me wonder what will be out when i am up for a new contract.
Neat, hope the source appears sooner rather than later after the official release.
Lol... I must be losing it. And official sgs 2.3 leaks and this is the extent of the discussion. .... Lol wtf.
most people are more excited by cm7 for some reason. this is what i will use as soon as a reorient kernel comes about, all i can do is hope the source is realesed shortly. i think it was available pretty quick after jpx/jpy were released so i think it wont take long.

Regardless... It's a big deal. And none of the other threads made it very far. At all.
Go look at the i9000 forums. They're littered with posts and 2.3 sgs roms. All we have are crickets.
To be fair, we don't have the source available, so the leaked rom is kind of useless to us. It's a neat novelty, just to flash for a few minutes to see what's in store, but it's definitely not something you would use daily.
Just downloaded the Rom.. anyone know of a good kernel to use with this rom?? will CM7 kernel work with this rom? since its 2.3.3

Highly doubtful.. It should come with a compatible kernel and modem packaged in to it.
I wouldn't flash it straight through odin if I were you, though. If you have access to a linux machine, you should repackage it as a cwm flashable zip that doesn't flash boot or sbl, otherwise you risk either perma-bricking your phone or locking your bootloader.
My memory must be going. I remember us having ported i9000 2.2 roms well before the source dropped.

Vibrant owners have a port of this already, so yes it would seem that reorienting can be done without source, but devs aren't touching this for some reason...I really hope that changes cause I want to try this out but don't have the knowledge base to try to reorient the kernel myself and don't have time to learn currently.
No source, no kernel, no ROM. That simple.

How does this differ from GingerBeast?
Read in Gingerbeasts thread somewhere (running it for three awesome days) and Dilli stated something along the lines that since gtx had put out Inspired AOSP (or working on it?) He did actually do a couple of things differently ala H icons, etc... and hinted that having two identical AOSP ROMS would have been dull and competitive or pointless or something. Since gtx isn't keeping up with his rom anymore (so it read?) This could be ok right? Would like to try the stable version, or is it?
I started flashing a sense rom again last night and almost immediately during setup scrapped it forb my NAN backup. I can get different results from seemingly identical roms.

This is a CM7 base with various bits removed. Gingerbeast is a proper AOSP base with bits of CM7 added in. That's the major difference at least.

You talking about that post that was a chop and hack of Cm7?
I had a second post. With one built from CM source. This one is built from AOSP source with make files and framework files from CM.
I am working toward a more AOSP base. Building my own kernel, using image files from
AOSP, using AOSP programs. He Is just using a modified CM7.
This is an AOSP base actually.
sure just use the search funtion at the top of page and type PureGandroid 1.1
By beta I mean not all of the stuff I want in this version is there. The ROM is completely stable and ready for use. I just didn't remove and add all the things I wanted in this version
I am trying to get there but its very slow for me to do this. My co compiler John Weyrauch hasn't been online lately and we have had little progress the past 2 weeks

what exactly do you think i did?
took a pre-compiled cm7 rom and modified it?. if im just using a modified cm7, what are you doing?
gingerbeast is built and compiled from aosp and cm7. both were cloned, some cm stuff was removed, aosp added. look in your /system/etc-
CHANGELOG-CM.txt
init.d- all cm init scripts
/system/bin-
backuptool.sh- cyanogen script
modelid_cfg.sh- cyanogen script
verify_cache_partition_size.sh- cyanogen script
-your default wallpaper is attached
what im saying is- dont act like your rom is pure aosp and then say mine is just a modified cm7.
like i said in my thread- as i go more and more cm is removed, and a lot already has- IE theme engine, i have the froyo lockscreen back(will make it in next update), etc- plus i added some of my own stuff to framework/ base. my kernel has some important tweaks(to me anyway- not sure why cm hasnt updated jhash to lookup3 in their kernel yet) that help with efficiency/speed that cm, nor any other kernel for the dhd inspire have
im not saying what your doing is a bad thing, its EXACTLY what i did. most users dont give 2 sh!ts what the base is- if they like how aosp looks, its fast and good on battery and bug free thats all that matters. (cyanogen base for the inspire is very good and pretty much bug free, which is exactly why i chose to use it- and i dont have the time for a 100% aosp rom made from scratch especially when that is readily available)
btw- its usually nice to put a credit in the OP for what you used of other peoples that helped you out. just to show appreciation for work done that benefited you.
By modified I meant using a hybrid that has modified files for Wallpapers, icons, etc. I am trying to create a non tweaked kernel with Google Apps included, and only opensource software in it (except for GAPPS).
I meant nothing against you or your rom also would it be ok if I extracted the lockscreen from your rom to use on mine?
My apps are aosp, icons aosp, wallpapers and sounds are from nexus s- which is technically aosp.
Everything is opensource
Yes you can use the lockscreen, but like I said it wont be included until next update, so you'll have to wait. It should be soon though
thank you. Would you be interested in making a 100% pure rom? I can compile most of it on my Mac Pro. I just need some help debugging some of the errors while compiling?
I've been here for a week or two... Just long enough to know how funny this is...
