Droid 2 Global ICS - CyanogenMod 9 port

---

I haven't seen this here, and I can confirm it works great (it has some problems, true).

Links for ROMs are:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/18697-cya...icialbeta-424/ -> official thread
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/28082-d2g...ld-thread-629/ -> thread with ROMs

Two known problems are battery drain (not too much, but it exists) and com.android.phone process crashing.
The latter is solvable if you use GSM (I can't tell is it working on CDMA networks as I can't test it, there is none in Croatia). All you have to do is:

Enable Airplane mode.
Head to notification widget settings.
Enable the mobile data toggle.
Open the notification pulldown and long tap the mobile data toggle.
Mobile network options menu appears.
Repeat choosing mobile network type until you see that it shows as “GSM/WCDMA” in the menu, not in the selector that opens (selector items are named wrong).
Once it's set to GSM/WCDMA, disable Airplane mode.

You will get one FC, but that's it. After that, the phone will properly register on your GSM network. No issues after reboots as well.

And, BTW, I'm just using this, I have no connections to developers or any other affiliation to this ROM(s).

(1) The first thread linked in the OP is intended only for development discussion and should not be used for help requests or general user questions. Please don't post there unless you can contribute truly useful information to the developers working on this port, such as logcat output. For everything else, post in the CM9 user thread or the newer CM9 builds thread.

(2) The com.android.phone crashes only affect GSM use.

HEY GUYS , some great news for you all

DEFY has got complete HWA ( or HUI ) working on this locked kernel
everything including Chrome , flash player is working , it is as fast as any other official ICS ROM ( buttery smooth )

if you guys can compile all those changes into ur rom , it would be great

nadlaback ( milestone 1 developer ) made this achievement of running PVR SGX 1.8 ( stack loader ) on the locked kernel

also to mention : FULL HWA is working on both FROYO and GB KENELS ( so it should not be a great problem for you guys )

is it stable enough for daily use?

It changes with every new build, because development is proceeding rapidly. Some builds are pretty stable except for specific features being broken (especially camera-related stuff); others have more features enabled but are less stable; the newest build as of today has some changes that broke a lot of things, but the cause is known and a fix is in the works. Check the two threads I linked earlier for updates on new builds and specific information on each one.

very much so
i have been using these roms since late february, they are awesome
if you get the 7/14 build, the only thing that doesnt work is the camcorder and panorama
chrome works, the theme engine is working
these roms are awesome

I just flashed everything yesterday, and I've had no problems so far (besides with the camera, of course). Seems very stable and works very well; animations are smooth and no lag. Once camera is fixed, this will be truly amazing.

I also installed Google Now and I must say, it is amazing! Only thing not working is the voice search unfortunately... but you can still use it by manually typing queries!

I flashed cm9 and its worked great only bug I have seen is camcorder

Sent from my DROID2 Global using xda app-developers app

I flashed the latest ROM onto my Droid 2 Global 3 days ago, and the first thing i noticed is that it's a battery destroyer, i have an extended battery that used to last me for a day and a half with cm7, now it just lasts 10 hours on normal use (i play 40 minutes a day at most), and last night i charged the battery to 100% and this morning it was on 45% doing absolutely nothing at all, not a single call or sms, so either the screen is turning on by itself, the battery is not reporting the correct charge or this ROM is a powerhungry beast.

anyone else reporting this issues?

That rom is outdated. Try this one instead: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/28082-d2d...-build-thread/
