Cuustom ROMs for a rooted Droid 2 running Gingerbread? - Droid 2 Android Development

Ok, so I just installed Gingerbread on my Droid 2 and rooted it. I really like Gingerbread so far, and I'm starting to realize that all those months I was running Froyo, I was missing out.
Anyway, all the custom Droid 2 ROMs I see on here and elsewhere seem to be only for phones that are running Froyo. Are there any here or anywhere else for rooted Droid 2s running Gingerbread (preferably with Blur)?

With the release of GB being on a couple weeks old, I'm sure there are plenty of devs working on GB ROMs. Just have to have patience.

Hey guys. Can you post a link to gingerbread? I am getting a Droid2. Thanks guys.

Seems like that would be a small step down for you considering that you have a thunderbolt now

The leak is an official leak, meaning it was from Verizon, but rejected for some bugs.
Verizon has already started rolling out a GB OTA for the DX, which means we should be next, and soon.

you have over a thousand posts and youre asking that? lol. but no. it wont. Theyre two separate phones and the exploit probably is patched in d2
Wow I'm dumb...besides being 2 completely separate phones, the d2 is froyo. That's like asking if the Droid 1 or Droid incredible root method would work.
I hope it gets rooted soon. Im planning on getting it September or October , but It will be hard for me switching from a fully rooted and s-off Droid Incredible.

I'm thinking the same thing... I currently love my rooted Incredible but at the same time I wouldn't mind a Droid 2 with Game Gripper for awesome nostalgic gaming on the go!
My DInc w/custom ROM is the better phone overall, but I'm keeping the D2 most likely, because I love the keyboard.

It has the aiccucs ROM. Tried SkyRaider and CM6, found aiccucs to be most stable.
I hope that eventually I'll be able to try some custom ROMs on my Droid 2.

One click root

Anyone know of a one click.root for 2.3.5?
sent from my new HTC Evo
how is it possible that a person that has so many posts cant load up the dev section and look? the nexus s 4g dev section is only 2 pages... yet instead of looking you made 2 separate topics about it two days in a row...
lol
Those guides do not mention 2.3.5 dude
you iddnt ask for a guide, you asked for the one click root. the one click root works on ALL os versions to date, and for the forseeable future.
unless ice cream sandwich brings some horrible root blocking feature then it will work on that as well. if ics blocks it then oh well as soon as a new root is made available ill update it

[Q] What ROM do you guys have?

Since there are 4 or 5 ROM's for our phones... what ROM are you guys running? Stock? Curious
There are that many? Lol I am on a rooted stock, but play with Erik's customized ROM.

There are only two that actually run from what I understand. I am currently running erikmm's rom and it runs well so far.

Im on Stock too. :silly:
Running stock and unrooted until T-mo/Samsung release ICS for this phone.
I rooted my previous phone (Exhibit 4G) and got rid of the T-mo bloat, can't wait to do the same for this phone. Only reason I haven't rooted is I worry something may interfere with the OTA update whenever it's released.

HA! Me too! On both counts! Got rid of the exhibit and got the blaze instead. Never got voicemails on that undeveloped thing. It's too bad as besides the voicemail issue I had it was a solid phone.
You should be able to get an OTA update even rooted with CWM (it is still the stock rom after all) - but you may end up needing to download the zip and do it yourself. It shouldn't be too hard to find the zip here on XDA for the stock release once it's out. I actually prefer doing it that way- it's faster -as with other devices I've owned the OTA update wouldn't go through until 3-4 days after its release (sensation 4g, streak 7). I have rooted and got CWM on my phone and removed the bloat and LOVE IT.
Coming from a 1st gen Exhibit 4G makes me thankful that so many great devs are actively developing for our Blaze. Thank you!
I still come to wonder.. What happened to the guy who was building a ROM before the blaze even released.?

[Q] Leak 1 or Official ICS??

This is for those that have ran both. Have you noticed any significant differences in the two, aside from being able to flash back? My wife has been rooted stock GB and hates changes and wondering if I would be better putting her on the first leak or allowing the upgrade. I ran SCV7 before switching to my SGS3 and found no problems with it. Having never used the second leak, would like some feedback from those that may have ran both. Thanks
Bump.....
The second leak(official) is more stable with less bugs. I have gotten better battery life as well.

What about the FXZ dilemma, is that being resolved with the 2nd leak? I know tcf38012 has posted something, but it's rather cryptic and not very comprehensible...

It is not an fxz fix. It will only un-softbrick people who softbricked on leak 2.

So there's still something to consider. ICSL2 has no way back to GB, whereas ICSL1 does. For whatever that's worth to help the OP. Thanks Jim...

Not too worried about being able to go back for her phone. Once ICS is installed and rooted, she'll be happy. Just curious if there are any significant "improvements" between the 2 versions.

Battery is a lot better,phone becomes more responsive,many have reported they are getting better graphics.
If you are not into shuffling between ROMs or tweaking i say go for the OTA you won't regret it.
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
I too have the same question, is it smarter to just stay on leak 1, i do like flashing roms and tweaking. Is it going to be that much harder to get custom roms if we have the official OTA version?

Well it's not that it's going to be hard it's just that if you run into some trouble you can always fxz your way back but with leak 2 that it's not the option as there is no fxz for ICS as of now.however recently a few people(including me) have been able to recover from a soft brick on leak2.so really it's a matter upto you.you know the risks and the upside.

Why not stay on leak 1 and just flash one of the roms with leak #2 system? That way you get the best of both worlds.
No way in hell will i give up my option to get back to GB if needed.

Totally agree with you. Until there's an FXZ for leak2/official OTA, I'll stay on leak one and flash away. I've already had to use the 2.3.6 FXZ and it worked perfectly.
going to bump this thread if its ok. Now that Official ICS has been out and running for a bit, what are your thoughts on it versus the original leak.

Just keep in mind that some phones had some strange issues after the ICS OTA, and were only corrected by doing a FDR.

It's probably just a bugfix or maybe official ICS (I don't think they officially recieved ICS for that phone yet). Kinda miss my OG since it had an unlocked bootloader.
Probably just a GB security update.

there's no statement from moto nor anyone else that it would be ics/jb for the og, most people think it'll lock their bootloaders for good, like moto did to the electrify and other phones
