Root Fission 2.1 final

[Aggie12]

Hey guys. I don't take credit for any of this just passing it along since I don't think many team Defuse guys frequent this forum.

2.1 final is now available at their site here. They originally were only releasing it today to people that donated, but since he is so nice he has opened it up to everyone else (although donating isn't a bad idea, he has done a lot and it's always nice to support devs.) I have been on this ROM since the early stages and it's awesome!

A little excerpt about the ROM from their site:
This is not an AOSP ROM but all stock packages are built from source. It is a complete set of vanilla Android applications. All Blur has been removed so it is the closest you will get to a true AOSP clean ROM for the Droid2/X/Global/Pro right now. This is not a themed ROM to make it look like AOSP ROM.

The purpose of this ROM was to remove all Blur and have a real Android experience. Please do not ask to add anything to ROM. Everything that is missing can be found in the Add On folder that was created when you installed ROM or can be downloaded from market.

The installed applications are all of your basic Android apps. Gmail, Voice Search, Car Home, YouTube and some other apps are missing since there are more updated versions on the market.

It is wicked fast and has greatly increased my battery life. I highly recommend this ROM to everyone. Please be sure to follow the directions exactly.

Instructions for downloading ROM can be found at his original thread over at XDA here

Go get it!

Thanks, downloading now.

edit: I noticed there are no installation instructions. I was not able to install from Rom Manager. In fact for some reason I can not reboot into recovery from Rom Manager. Trying from Koushes Boot strapper now.

edit: It Worked! Syncing all my apps etc... But now to determine how long I can go without a Theme For it.

Damn, the lock screen is back too, after all that work to get rid of it

Everything seems pretty smooth. (the one to change ring to vibrate to silent. That and the next theme. I should have taken screenshots and benchmarks with apex first. According to Tibackup a lot of things have been removed that I previously had backed up with apex though. Well thats my report for now, runs fine, smooth, just missing the themes mostly, and I'll need to play with the OC settings now I suppose.

One thing I'm missing is the Moto Ringer toggle widget. Also missing is the FM Radio (I guess it was blur?) But now how can I use the FM Radio on the phone?

 

[Aggie12]

You have the moto sliders?? I've got the stock android ones. And what did the moto ring toggle do? I'm sure there is a replacement out there. And tune in radio on the market can replace the radio since it was blur. And yeah, a lot was removed that's what makes this rom fly.

And I warned you about the installinstallation instructions lol. This rom is very picky. Did you not click on my link that takes you to his xda thread where the instructions were??

so to upgrade from 2.01 do i need to wipe data/cache & system?

it's definitely recommended. You should treat this as a new ROM installation. I mean you can always try it without but you may get some FC's.

 

[mruno]

bleh. i really like fission, but if i am going to wipe everything again then i might as well move to a rom that runs 3g mobile hotspot.
:/

I missed the second link but I installed it the same way (only I formatted data instead of just wiping it.) However I also came from fresh ota.
The widget I'm missing is the one to toggle between sound, silent, and vibrate modes. Also, I used the gps today and there is no longer an option to speak the destination...that might be the deal breaker for me, or is there an app I can load to add that feature?

does anyone elses build number say vzw?i just want to confirm this since usually it would say what rom i am currrently on

that widget can be found here.
I used GPS just fine. Even directed me through a Home depot parking lot to get to my destination. Voice directions was on the whole time. I'm not sure of the settings but in google maps navigation make sure that its all on. I would check now but I'm in the library.

"The build.prop was left default so the system version shows verizon" From his original thread at this post.

 

[gmenfan83]

the navigation voice works fine the problem is that I can not speak the destination. Very convenient when driving

I have it now thanks! Now if I could just add the blur camera back I would be all set! Or is there another camera better than the blur one? I haven't had any weird issues or slowdowns yet with this rom, but I am missing nextheme

gmail obviously and im happy with the camera that comes with

using both the email app that comes with it and Gmail. no complaints.

As for the camera, I don't like the stock vanilla one but I bought Vignette prior to all this. I would recommend you do the same. Vignette is amazing. and well worth the price. It is the LP of the camera apps IMO.

the DX camera is in the Fission Add on folder. Just reboot into recovery mount /system and apply .zip.
