[Q] Newb wants to install cm7.2 ....

---

Hello Gurus,

I have been reading up on performing ROM upgrades for the Droid2, and am almost ready to pull the trigger on CM7 for my Droid 2...

A few questions first....

I never accepted verizons upgrade from FROYO to GB, and disabled the automatic updates using Titanium Backup. My phone says "System Version is Version.2.3.20.a955.verizon.en.us" and it says "Android version is 2.2" The phone is rooted. I have installed Droid 2 bootstrap recovery and ROM manager. I have made a backup of my existing ROM. I have backed up all apps and data with Titanium.

1) Can I use the ROM Manager app to seamlessly install the CM7.2 stable release on this existing FROYO phone? I have read in a few places that you can only do so if you are already running GB, which I am not.

2) Is my current FIRMWARE version 2.3.20 (system verzion) or is it 2.2 (android version)? I am confused about the distinction.

3) Does the camera Work on CM7.2 stable with the droid 2?

4) Does Wifi tether work on CM7.2 stable with the droid 2?

Do you all think there are noticeable performance improvements, or should I be happy with my rooted froyo with everything working as is? I most highly value the wifi tether and dont want to lose camera.

Thanks for your time.

Hi there!

I don't know about #1, but as for the rest:

ad 2. Your current build is listed in the settings/about phone, under "Android version". Froyo is 2.2.x, GB is 2.3.x. System version should not concern you

ad 3. I belive problems happened on some occasions only on phones running nightly, but don't take my word for it and check it on cyanogen forums.

ad 4. There is no tethering in 7.2

I hope that helped.

I don't know if it's ok to make a new thread asking something because there's to much people but only a few who care and reply any answer...

Not too many people here anymore people are moving on to other phones. I need to get a new phone cause the lack of root on the droid 2
