First Custom ROM for the Droid 2 Released
“And they said it couldn’t do that!” Following the string of scares that started with the Droid X regarding eFuse, locked bootloaders, and killer unicorns, many were skeptical of the device’s hackability. While there is still a lot of work to be done before the device is “truly” unlocked, Droid 2 owners can now say they are able to flash their first custom ROM onto the device through Koush’s Bootstrap Recovery.
The name of the ROM is Epic Unleashed and is currently on version 1.1. Technically, it’s still a very limited release. Things have been deodexed, stuff has been optimized, and bloatware has been blown to smithereens, but that’s as far as you’ll get with this one. It’s still pretty awesome, though, if you like a phone that boots up a bit cleaner and if you don’t fancy removing unwanted apps yourself. It’s also literally the only option you have.
