How about the non-global D2? I can't afford to buy a newer phone, anyways, it's been faithful and durable!

What is the difference between the DROID 2 and the global? Kitkat on it would be great!

Kitkat is definitely possible on droid 2 global. It's just a matter of getting the painstaking kernel work out of the way.. We are severely limited in development by the stock kernel. Don't ask for ETA, but i'm currently working on adapting the kernel for 2ndboot (from milestone 2). The kernel source provided by motorola boots with the milestone 2 2ndboot, but it looks like display and the security module is causing it to hang.
Here is the dmesg so far: http://pastebin.com/UpKKUkvX
edit1: some progress, commented out sec module, but display is broken.. perhaps the source is incomplete http://pastebin.com/ZQmkXSfb

I doubt the hybrid baseband had anything to do with it. I think that people were initially discouraged about using 2ndboot when there were still developers, since when loading the new kernel with 2ndboot, it would detach the modem and start it again, and the radio wouldn't work. However, when someone found a fix for it (czeschop), it was already a bit too late and most of the developers were gone for droid2. Just my opinion on it.
So npz, you've got this one in the works? From the second link you posted it looks like progress as of Jan 6, 2014. The kitkat would be cool for the d2g because I'm not sure I'm ready to put it on the d4 in case something goes bat**** on me.
Thanks for your time and dev work!

15If there is any interest, I could try to work on making one. KitKat is made to run on devices with at least half a gig of RAM, and that's what the D2G has, so it should be a really smooth ROM.2Hardware keyboard support is built-in and will work even if you port the Defy ROM (Defy has been a source of many ROMs ported for the D2 and D2G).
Milestone 2 ROMs are usually harder to port.1
good luck, may want to check in the dx, d2, dpro, forums, if it KK gets ported to any of those devices, there shouldn't be much needed to port to d2g

I've looked into this myself a while ago and it appears that the only limitation is the kernel, and having to forward port all the omap3 hardware hals from gb/ics.
From google's website:
It appears that Google utilizes KSM and zRAM on low memory devices, but we cannot compile these drivers because of locked kernel. Not sure why no one has ported 2ndboot yet from milestone2 or defy.. because that would greatly enhance our device's performance.
That's my 2c on it.
