Awesome, love it. I was having an issue with the lock screen music player not showing correct characters with 1.1, but now its gone. did you remove it intentionally.
Redflea are you able to just install the motoblur email and it works?
That's the only thing keeping me from trying this ROM. I hate the stock 2.2 email. It sends me notifications every 30mins for the same damn emails over and over and then for fun it decides to bring 2 week old emails back to my inbox as new.
The motoblur email doesn't do this to me at all.

Yes the stock email is really annoying and it also won't open any emails with attachments, i can't even view the text in them.
Anyone tried this method to get swype to work?
"Instructions:
Download the Droid 2 system dump here Droid2SystemDump.zip
Under /Apps find Swype.apk and copy it to your sd-card
Open terminal emulator
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
rm /system/app/Swype.apk
reboot
After reboot verify its gone.
Reopen Terminal Emulator
su
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/Swype.apk /system/app
exit
exit
Open a text box and verify."
I can't try it since my Terminal Emulator won't open, does everyone have that issue?
This works.
However one thing you need to realize. Linux is case sensitive. The version of swype that is loaded on this ROM is "swype.apk" not "Swype.apk" so when you remove it you need to do:
rm /system/app/swype.apk
Then the rest of the instructions are the same.
Hope this helps everyone.
Connect droid to computer
cd/android/tools (assuming you installed SDK to /Android
adb shell
Then all commands as entered above. Basically, adb shell before su...
This works.

I GOT SWYPE TO WORK!! BTW the method posted above wouldn't work for me.
All you need to do is download the D2 system dump from here Droid2SystemDump.zip
Find the Swype.apk file in apps, move it to the root of your sd card.
Go to your file manager app, find the swype.apk file, click on it and install it, easy as that!! I actually removed swype first so i don't know if that will effect your results.
How did you remove swype? Normal uninstall, deleted using Root Explorer, etc?
Sometimes my lock screen freezes then the phone resets.
