Hello Everyone,
I'm moving from the HTC Thunderbolt to the Droid 2 Global. (Wanted to try out the Droids and was able to get a decent deal on the winter white Droid 2 Global close to new/perfect condition. Anyone have tips and tricks for someone that is going to be using one of the Droid series phones for the first time? (Would have put int Q/A, but didn't see one.) [Moving from 4G LTE to 3G only isn't a issue for me because my home isn't in a 4G area. Only time I got 4G was at work, don't get to use my phone during that time anyways)
Thanks!
The D2G is a poor choice. It's very outdated, and runs Android 2.3.x.
There's a Tips and Shortcuts booklet in the retail box. Other than that it's just another Android phone.
do you plan on rooting/ romming?
2.3.4 can only be rooted with magic md5 link in my list

It's running 2.3.3. I don't see it as a poor choice. Signal is better than thunderbolt and the hassle of having to send it into airplane every time it switched between 4g and 3g. I only get 3g at home. It only took $80 out of my pocket for a near new condition.
Also thanks sd shadow. Was planning on rooting and romming.
So far so good as far as the phone goes.

thank you for responding. Ill make sure to check it out. Any ROM suggestions that run well? I don't care much about camcorder/camera if there are any decent ics? I was use to issues with ics on tbolt from them having to do most of the work for aosp ics lacking official kernel.

What ROM are you running? I recently learned how to flash the Droid, and I am, in fact, using the Droid right now (on the cricKet network) and am typing this message with it. I can help guide you if you like.

I cant find anything for this phone. I ordered online, because I need a new phone. My HTC Inspire is acting crazy, and I moved to an area where AT&T has crap service, so I am switching to Verizon. Is there anyone working on root, or anything for this phone yet?
I Googled it, looked around some and I saw a few posts about xda. They said that xda devs would probably work on a JB port soon but that doesn't mean anything. It looks like a nice phone though and if you ask me, it will probably have a few devs for it at least.

For the price, free with contract, it has a good set of features. The only thing I think I wont really care for is the camera, but you get what you pay for. I was just hoping there would be a root guide for it, and maybe a rom or 2 before I got it in. When I got my Inspire I had it rooted, and a new rom flashed within an hour of getting it.
Well rooting should be easy. Get CWMR on the phone and flash Superuser.zip as for ROMs, I could make a few changes to stock for you.
sent from my captivate glide running ICS (NardROM 0.4 Rooted)
I get the phone in tomorrow. I may have to ask for some help. I have been a little spoiled with my rooting in the past. With both my Captivate, and Inspire basically I just had to hook them up to the computer hit couple buttons, and CWM, and SU were both flashed for me. I haven't have to flash CWM myself before.
CWM is easy, just flash through Odin. Then flash Superuser through CWM. PM me and I'll help in detail.

Just an update. I got root by following this right here: http://androidforums.com/galaxy-stellar-4g-lte-all-things-root/619913-how-root-samsung-stellar.html
I am looking forward to devs backing this device, and giving me some awesome ROM experiences. I really needed root, as soon as I booted it, and saw all the bloatware, I was like, nope this has gotta go! I only achieved root, didn't attempt the recoveries from the SGS3 thread, but this will do for now I guess, lol.
I really wish more people were interested in this device

I have had my Stellar for about 7 months now. It has been a reliable device, with the exception of the camera. Well lighted, and outdoor shots look nice. Indoor shots is another story,only due to a lack of a flash on the camera.I am awaiting the S4, then I am going to attempt to root the Stellar, for now I am scared to brick the phone.:laugh:
I rooted my Galaxy Stellar, it was very easy and I didn't brick it. The whole process to root only takes about 15 minutes then your goods to go. If your still interested in rooting your Galaxy Stellar then message me back and I'll give you a link to the site that helped me root my phone.

I was wondering the same thing. I was thinking about picking up this phone next week, but there doesn't seem to be much going on with it...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isnt PA just a CM10 mod? Wouldn't that require a fully functional CM10 in order to be functional itself?
Its being worked on... but yes its being built from CM source and in the source just about it everything works. Even the camera apparently.

I still Dont know why no one can crack the locked boot loader
Thx for the update
Sux they patched a lot of stuff making it even harder
I'm a firm believer that the boot loader needs to be unlocked for us Verizon users to have a complete experience
I really love the quality of these moto phones. ...super sexy and solid
But compared to the choices of features And more important the reliability of a unlocked full ROM and kernel ....its just a tease
Every option I have tried with my RAZR HD ...works and gives me some extras but takes away other features and reliability
This may be my last phone
Wish their was a super cracker out there . All of us RAZR M..HD ...atrix users. Make a super bounty to crack the bootloader ...then we will see some serious deving going on
Until then...we are lucky to have the skilled devs we do have....I thank them very much

Anyone with the developer edition, CM10.1 just dropped for us over on droidrzr.com.

XDA isn't usually a Motorola phone development stronghold, Droidrzr.com is where a lot of that is going on.
Yea I agree. Lots of posts over there say don't post them elsewhere too or I'm sure they'd be brought over. Oh well, as long as they keep coming, I don't care where they are hosted lol.
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2
I assume that due to the locked bootloader and lack of ROOT for JB on this phone, that there are not a lot of ROMs for this phone. I see SafeStrap is available and that seems pretty cool, but are there any ROMs for this phone that are worth the effort?
On some phones, the stock ROM sucks and there are ROMs that really make the device shine. On this phone, the stock one seems decent and I don't see many alternatives.
Thoughts?
The bootloader Is unlock able from Motorolas website now. I just did mine last night and installed clock work mod.

Go into your settings and look at the model number. X926 is the consumer edition, X925 is the dev/international edition. If you have the consumer edition, you can still flash rooms. Download safe strap and flash away in one of the rom slots. If you have the dev edition, you can install clockwerk. If you need help, just inbox me.

Thread closed.
Just purchased this Razr HD decided to start developing for it. I really like the Optimus G's User Interface Enhancements (LGUIE.)
In my upcoming rom, who'd like to see a LG interface?
Anyone feel the same? If so its no problem for me to make one.
Havent seen it but there is nothing wrong with more options. Can't wait to see what you dish out.
Now that we received a stable CM10/10.1 build, it'll be off of that. (RAZR VZW / RAZR GSM / Atrix AT&T / Atrix Bell)

But it's getting better.
I know. I'm going to release a 4.2.2 version once its stable. For now only 4.1.2/4.1.1. So everything will be working. (Gsm RAZR HD version will be a wip, I need people to test my releases because I don't own a gsm RAZR HD (own bell atrix and vzw razr.) But I'm pretty sure the standard lte on gsm set to 1 and not eri set to 1 etc, with prima should fix the data and WiFi.)
Any gsm RAZR that would like to participate in beta testing... please pm me. They will start soon.
Eta: it will take a while because, I need to fix battery drain. Also I need to get otas working for this ROM.
