This is MIUI for the Droid 2 Global. You will need to be on Gingerbread .606 or .607 before installing any build after 1.9.16!
Currently everything is working except the alt lock key. Bluetooth should be working now too (please let me know if it is/isnt)
It is highly advised to have your phone activated before installing this rom
Get the update from MIUI.US' download page

Droid 2 Global 1.10.21
http://www.multiupload.com/GUZ75UEDX8 (Test rom with Bluetooth working and updated init (less sticky settings))
Changelog:
Updated to 1.10.21
FINALLY Switched to Defy Base
Updated to Android 2.3.7
Included governors and scripts from Droid X Chat
Included Bootmenu
Brought in changes over 1.9.16.1 (Any GSM tweaks you guys were using before should still work)
Includes MIUI Control now
Speed increase
Included smartass governor and others
Note: The 2 usb icon's is not an issue, it is due to the new usb toggle
Notes2: Over the next few releases I will be doing a freeze on adding new features and trying to get Bluetooth to work and fix some other small issues
Notes 3: You will most likely need to wipe data and cache for this update due to our base switch! (should be the last switch in a long time!)
Notes4: The phone is underclocked to 1 Ghz by default! Go into the boot menu and set the voltage and cpu speeds you desire. you can also set the governor to use here too!
To get to the boot menu press volume down when you see a blue light come on at boot!

http://www.mediafire...aexgk9sercps8qn Overlay I am using incase I ever quit (for reference) (5.0 Froyo overlay, DO NOT USE FOR NORMAL INSTALLS OF MIUI, THIS IS FOR DEVELOPERS ONLY)
Note: If you try to switch network versions you will need to erase /system/ /data/ and /cache/ and then install whatever version you want. It caches whatever mode you are in and that will cause problems if you do not follow the method listed above.
You can use recovery! Go to the rom manager and in there install droid x (2nd init) and then it should work! That is apparently the only way to get there.
Dont forget to clear data and cache after installing or else you WILL have a bootloop
Donations are MUCH appreciated!
http://forum.xda-dev...e.php?u=1894713 ( I simply copied my XDA donate link)
Thanks go out to CVPS,Framework43, Revnumbers, Gasai Yuno, Asphyx, x13thangelx, Bikerdude and the rest of the CM4D2G team!
Thanks also go out to the person who made the MIUI honeycomb theme that is used in V5 as default!
HUGE thanks to Droid X Chat for the work I borrowed from him! (bootmenu, user init's, etc.)
Reserved
Also, please donate if you think my ports have made your phone a better device! Not asking out of greed but because I have spent so much time on this rom (quite literally if I quantified it, I would have almost a months worth of workdays in it)
i have been meaning to try this rom out. how well does it work.
i am on a .608 update would it still work with my phone?
awesome rom. i like it way better then other ones i have had on my phone.
Works pretty well. Only bugs are BT, a couple sticky settings and alt lock key. The BT and a few more sticky settings will be fixed this upcoming update (likely around sunday or monday). I hit the same performance of around CM. Slightly lower because MIUI is a heavier rom but it is faster than Blur. It gets slightly less battery than blur but better than CM.
Despite repeated efforts .. when I flash rom it boots to white motorolla
icon and never goes past. Sbf. 607. Wiped cache factory reset before and after flash

You hit the nail on the head! You need to be on gingerbread at first. With the updated band unlock that exists on rootzwiki you don't need to be on froyo for anything at all anymore. Also I updated the OP with an updated 1.10.21 with working Bluetooth and fewer sticky settings
ALT lock dosnt work on. it isnt big problem but its a bug .
Everything else work well for now.
I like MIUI, but I have GPRS and bluetooth problems on this rom, so I keep waiting for the new release.

I said that, regardless of how it came up, you deserved credit fit being gutsy and getting to work on it. Now that it appears to work (can't try it ATM) you deserve more credit for delivering. Kudos to you!
Current Progress:
Now onto fixing the WiFi, torch and screenshot capture. I dont know what data is but I also have no data with CM7 FXP41 either, this could be releated because we are using the same kernel (edited a bit) and ramdisk.
Coming in next build:
WiFi
Torch
Screenshot Capture
Custom Bootscreen
UK Version of MIUI (Not the US one, the uk one is more like the real miui and the one you see on most phones.)
Xperia Wallpapers
Data is 3g coverage. It's a deal breaker for many people, so once it's fixed you can safely say you have a stable miui running.
Yeh, I know what data is and this would be like one of the only things left to fix (Most stuff is regarding kernel changes with the code provided.etc). But i also have no APN's or data in CM7 either, so....
Good to hear
I'll just wait till it gets a bit more stable before trying it

Any ideas on how are you going to fix the camera?Camera is very important u kno.
I don't know but they are working on it over in the Ray thread. It is something to do with the fact that because we cant get the source code for MIUI, we have to sort of hack the precompiled camera libary to link it with the kernel we have compiled...

oh boy... you should been on the X10 community...
Due to requests for a dev thread, here it is.
And as a note:
I am privatizing my builds and will only release tests to those I deem competent of being able to produce crash dumps, log files, and other useful information. This is not because I dislike anyone, but the stress of having 20 people tell me that "x doesn't work, when can you get it working?" isn't going to make me want to work on it.
Currently in a working state (may still be buggy):
Audio
Bluetooth
Wifi (After reboot, should be tcmd related)
2D/3D Acceleration (renderscript is unknown/buggy)
Sensors
CDMA radio
GPS (not aGPS)
USB Charge/Mass Storage/ADB
Key mapping (working 'b' key)
CPU scaling works correctly
What doesn't work or is already a known bug:
The Alt-lock key.
Camera
3G data
GSM Radio (will be testing this asap)
What will NEVER work:
NFC
ETA: [font=comic sans ms,cursive]When it's ready.[/font]
As this is a hot topic: If you wish to donate, please send it to Hascode or the Defy Team as they've helped me out more than I usually care to admit. I'll lengthen this list and flesh it out later.
My current source can be found and built from github Global-KANGs
Definitely looking forward to this rom. Good luck with the development.
I'll try building myself from github when I get some time to prep build environment. Meanwhile bikedude880, if you are looking for testers (GSM) I'm here (not sure if you got my PM over rootzwiki).

Flashing CM9
Hey guys,I found a ROM of CM9 on another site last night. I rebooted into CM Recovery and made a nandroid backup first of my factory D2G ROM. After that I cleared everything and did a factory data reset and cleared the cache and dalvik-cache. After that I flashed CM9 onto my D2G along with the ICS Gapps. Everything went just fine but upon the phone booting up, it keeps bootlooping and actually not going into the operating system. I thought maybe I need to give it some time to load and all so I let the phone sit all night waiting and woke up this morning and it was still in the bootloop. Now I'm flashing back to the SBF from Verizon and retrying everything. Can anybody tell me if I did anything wrong. I have experience with Droid 1's,HTC Hero's, T-MO G1's,etc. I'm pretty sure everything was done correctly and went by all the flashing instructions I've ever been taught. I'm kinda at a loss and think I may just keep it on a factory rooted ROM.
Model:
Droid 2 Global A956
CWM Recovery 2.0.8 I believe
I did install the bootloader app that I got
ICS CM9.zip file
1.Did BACKUP
2.Wiped Everything
3.Flashed ROM
4.Got past the Red Motorola "M"

Hi bikedude880! I'm wating for your rom in long time. I don't have a lot of rom to try.
P/S: Sorry for my bad English!
Dalingrin has released a minor update to the cm9 alpha.
Update is in the ongoing alpha thread at Rootzwiki.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/15509-releasealpha06-cyanogenmod-9-touchpad/
E.E.
Changelogs :
Alpha0.6 Release notes:
Another minor release. While working on bigger problems that will take a while I wanted to push out an update for some things that have happened in the last few days. This is primarily to get Flemmard's work out for more testing. This contains the start of CyanogenMod settings. However, most of the settings are not functional on tablets yet.
With this release I will also provide two flashable zips to allow you to easily switch between lcd density 120 and 160. The default is still 160 because it offers the greatest compatibility. Any lcd density value between 160 and 120 will ruin market compatibility. For those that would like a "higher resolution" look and feel, you may flash the 120 lcd density update.zip. This will copy a new build.prop and will update the launcher for proper display. I strongly recommend changing the font size in Settings->System->Fonts if you chose to do this. The 160 lcd density update is provided to easily revert the change.
Touchscreen fixes
Ability to hide the combined bar(navigation buttons and clock) for full screen. This uses the ICS api so it will require app support(not all apps have been updated). This is an option under Settings->[Interface]->System->Combined Bar (Credits to Flemmard)
Scrollable quick settings. This will require tweaking later to allow it to be bigger on the Touchpad but fixes overflow issue on 7" tablets with the new Bluetooth toggle. (Credits to Flemmard)
Reboot to recovery is working via the power menu(hold down power button). Note: reboot will sometimes shutdown rather than rebooting.
Preliminary support for Rom Manager. In order to use this you will need Rom Manager Premium because it is not official yet. In order to use it you will need to execute "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" in Rom Manager. Confirm the model is cm_tenderloin, say yes that you have installed manually, and check ClockworkMod 3.x. Now you can use Rom Manager to flash update.zips. Official support should come soon.
Other general changes from syncing with latest changes
Some time ago on a different ROM, my WIFI broke and I've only now found the time to recover/update. Been using an ICS port on my phone and it works far better than any 2.3 ROM. Definitely excited for this.
Im on 0.5 now can i just flash 0.6 through recovery now? Are we at that point yet where we can do this without going through acmeinstaller?
I think there are mixed feelings about going through recovery right now?

You've always been able to flash through recovery, even the early CM7 builds.

You should also apply this fix for reboot issues on the power menu where it will shut down instead of reboot. Scroll down to latest release fixes and workarounds.

UPDATE This is the MX2-Beta1 Done by DKZ. I am pasting the post Lrs121 did later in the forum (P.13) I am just posting it here to stay Current!
-below Lrs121 post their is my original post to help with flashing if you need it. Flashing should be the same. Included in Lrs121 post their is a wifi patch that DKZ applied.
Enjoy!
Lrs121
Here it is! CM9 Beta1 Download links.
THANK YOU AND ALL CREDIT GOES TO DragonzKiller For all the work hes put forth
Read entire post before flashing. Its long i know but worth reading.
Known issues for mx2 cm9beta1 without data wipe (comes from my experience with it)
Includes same issues for dx2
constant super user request (see fixes/info)
always says updating android durring startup (see fixes/info)
reboot/shutdown hangs (see fixes/info)
restart doesnt work properly (see fixes/Info)
WIFI does not start (SEE FIXES/INFO)
NOTE!!! IF UPDATING FROM ALPHA 4 Wipe DATA CACHE AND FACTORY RESET!!! DATA WIPE FOR ALPHA 5 IS NOT REQUIRED BUT RECOMMENDED!!!
How to install(credit to DZK)
Installation:
Install the BSR (patched if on CM7/CM9)
Reboot into the BSR
NANDROID <--- you'll probably want to go back to this
Install the CM9 zip from the SD Card MX2 Users Go to the MX2 Thread for the Patched CM9 zip once it has been updated to Beta 1
MX2 ONLY! Install the WiFi Driver zip from the SD Card
Install the GAPPS from the SD Card
Wipe both DATA and CACHE (no need to wipe Dalvik if you wipe both of these)
Reboot your phone
Enjoy CM9 Beta 1
Fixes/Info-for flash with out data wipe
Constant superuser requests - Fixed
when it happens - when you open an app that requires su access
Theory - su updated but the app list didnt causing request loops
how to fix - enter play market; go to my apps and uninstall updates for superuser; reinstall updates; open superuser and manually update binaries
Always shows Updating Android - Info
Info - No fix known, however it does not prevent your device from starting. Itll add on a couple seconds to the start time the first few times the phone is turned on after the first startup after flashing. After a few restarts it only takes a split second and it jumps right to the lock screen.
Reboot/Shutdown hangs (note this is occasional) - Info
Info - When rebooting or shutting down the phone will seem to hang with the rebooting/shutting down notification and the spinner is still spinning. The phone will become unresponsive to button input; that is normal for the shutdown and restart routiens.
Fix - None however the phone should reslove it fairly quickly the longest ive seen it hang is a minute or two then it shuts down or restarts properly. if it lasts longer than that i recomend a battery pull.
Restart doesnt work properly - Info
Info - this usually happens when the restart hangs. the phone will determine that the restart is taking too long and will force shutdown the device. The device will not start back up AUTOMATICALLY. Just turn on the the phone normally as if you had told it to shutdown instead of restart.
WIFI Does not start - info/fix hybrid
Info/Fix - after flashing the rom and the wifi fix, the wifi may or may not turn on/connect durring the first start up, restart the phone. After the first restart the wifi should turn on but be delayed in connecting, wait for it to connect or say its connecting and then restart the phone. afterward there should be no problem with the wifi. if you are still having problems you may need to reflash everything.
Will Update post as soon as the second mirror is up

DKZ Came out with CM9 for the Droid X2. I tried to flash it and it did not work.
I did some modifying on his file, which he created, to see if I could get it to load in the Milestone X2. We are running a different kernel then the Droid X2.
I wanted to let everyone know that it was a success! With Several hours in trying to locate certain files and modifying them we have
CM9 FOR THE MILESTONE X2
I am in no means taking credit for DKZ's work. He did a fantastic job!
Problems I have seen so far are:
WIFI (working with DKZ to work)
Camcorder
Have not tested
HDMI
Radio
MMS
What works
Data
Text
Call
Touch screen
GPS
Camera*New
Theme's are suppose to work.
The transitions are smooth and I have not had any issues with freezing or anything yet.

If you guys want WIFI working. All you have to do is ask. I know how to make it work for you guys if the ROMs are actually running.
EDIT: I am going to need a few things from you guys first. And I am going to need one of you guys to get me the SBF for your phone so I can get them. If I have it, I can make one that works (at least for that specific SBF, maybe the others).
Sent from my MB870 using XDA
is this essentially for x2 owners that are not with verizon?
Below is the SBF for ntelos wireless running 2.3.6. That is the current sbf for that network and phone.
I did want to say that the firmware of 418 that was just recently released is the same as the Milestone X2. Eclipse made his new rom,2.2, based on this update and the wifi works. I do not know if this helps.

Outside of that the rom boots up, Runs great for an alpha. For everyday use it satisfies me.
Are you going to use my version I posted up their? I just took out the kernel checks.
Thank you DKZ!

This is for Milestone X2 owners. We had issues isntalling CM7, MIUI, and CM9 with their release because we have a different kernel. So I modified DKZ original file so we can enjoy this one as well! They will not flash unless a few things are modified. This has been modified so MX2 customers can still enjoy the same things as DX2 customers.
I'll just make a patch that you guys can use.
Sent from my MB870 using XDA
Awesome!
Here is the patch the *should* work to get wifi working. I have NOT tested it and I don't even guarantee that it'll even flash. It also doesn't have a kernel check. With that being said, if it does work, I can only guarantee that it'll work with the MilestoneX2 version that was given to me in the SBF. As I know there a few versions out there, I doubt the kernel is the same for all of them. I don't have a MilestoneX2, so I wouldn't be able to check these things.
Wifi patch for the NTELOS MilestoneX2:
REMOVED CUZ IT WAS BAD
Also note that this patch (if working) should work with CM7 as well.
I am flashing it now. I will let you know.
EDIT; It did not work. Gave me a (code 6) error.

One thing I can recommend is if you are on stock use regular recovery. If you are in CM9 then use The Batched Recovery for CM7. As long as you do that you are going to be alright. Also look at the rerecovery.
Thank you,

i'm going to have to look at the firmware needed for it and how it interacts with your drivers. it might take a bit more for me to work out, but I'll try to get it working for you guys.

Wow Los has finally arrived for the Jewel but my Jewel is no longer with me
I can't seems to use external sdcard as internal there's simply no option to do it while formatting. Other then this it's pretty snappy thanks again.

Thanks for testing! Try the new Nougat build—I wasn't able to move apps onto the SD card (that is a LineageOS bug), but I was able to format it as internal storage.
I couldn't install the latest build 14.1 well just keeps bootlooping at the HTC screen.
Wipe
Install latest build
Install Gapps 7.1 (tried without installing this also) still no go ?

There appears to be an error in the build. I will upload a new build within a day.
Edit: New build has been uploaded! Please report if it works.
Never thought my Jewel would ever see Nougat (let alone Lollipop or Marshmallow). Just flashed and all is working well so far. Awesome work!
God tier work here, I'm blown away. I misplaced my Moto G 3rd gen somewhere in my apartment, so I've given up and dusted off my Evo. I was set to just use the Viper 4.1.1 that was on there, but some apps weren't installing so I came on ol' XDA. This is much more than I expected, thank you.
With that said, any tips on getting this to activate on Sprint / Ting? It was working fine on the old rom, but not kicking in here.
I know this isn't totally related to this ROM, but maybe it can be. I'm having issue with this (and most other ROMs I try) where the per button works physically, but only the buttons light up. I have to press the power button several times to get the screen to wake. This isn't consistent though. Seems worse if the screen has been off for a while. Does anyone know of a fix, and if so, can it be incorporated into this ROM? I know there have other threads about this but it seems like they have been dropped.

I believe that the service must be activated on a stock ROM before flashing a custom ROM. Then, the correct APN has to be set according to the carrier under Settings > More > Cellular networks > Access Point Names.

I am not sure of a fix, and I have not encountered this issue, but have you tried enabling Wake device using the Camera button under Settings > Buttons?

I've tried that in the past. Forgot about it this time around. Tried it again and it seems to be about the same as the actual power button for getting the screen to come on correctly.
Good ol' Jewel. Is this rom working ok?
My wife is temporarily using my old Jewel because she dropped & broke her crappy samsung phone. can someone please tell me how this rom is working?
I appreciate your time!

The ROM is working fine for the most part. The battery is not great, but that may be due to the battery's age. Additionally, there is a bug with BoringSSL that sometimes prevents the Play Store or Gmail from working temporarily.
sounds good. yeah, I'm sure it's age. thanks man. take care-
Trouble with WiFi
Did a Full factory reset, installed rom, gapps, and supersu from TWRP, factory wipe again from TWRP; now the OS is installed and running but after connecting to my home network, says no internet access although the netork is up and running normally, all other devices connected. Any thoughts or suggestions. I have a backup of my previous state, so I can revert, but would like to keep this on 7.1 for consistency between this and my primary device. The primary use for this device is media streaming.

I believe that the WiFi issue have been fixed in the latest build (20170522).
Thank you for this rom!
I had been using cyanogenmod 5.0 and dirtyunicorns 5.1 both were solid roms. Unfortunately the latest apps seem to run a bit slow on them. I thought it was the device but after installing this rom everything is snappy! It manages 1gig of ram better than any other rom and that 1.5ghz dualcore still runs strong. Snapchat is way more responsive on this rom, instagram and fb run without problems. GPS, 4g, sms, wifi, camera, sd storage, everything works! I've only noticed a few bugs. The wifi activity arrows don't show when something is downloading/uploading but wifi itself does work. Also, even tho I have working active cell service, it tries to activate itself again everytime I reboot and fails but calls-sms-data continue to work lol. The biggest bug is that auto-rotation stops working after 30-60 minutes and it stays stuck on portrait mode. Nothing but a full reboot will get it working again, a quick softboot won't fix it. I've tried changing the rotation settings and also added some lines to the build.prop but no solution thus far. I love this rom so much, if it's not fixed I might try some auto rotation apps. One last thing, it would be cool if the # in the status bar would go away after I close whatever app has root. The previous rom I had did that. Thank you so much to all the developers for bringing life to this phone!

Thanks for trying out the ROM! The WiFi activity arrows are intentionally disable on LineageOS. I do not currently have an active cell service on this device, so I am unable to fix the activation bug for now. Could you flash the patch below in recovery and test if autorotation is working properly? It should also enable the option to hide the Superuser icon under "Status bar" > "System icons".
