[ROM]Fission RC1 Droid Pro-Vanilla Generic Android-AOSP Like - Fission ROM Manager

A flashback to when ROM was first booted ... the good ol' days.
Please follow all install instructions exactly! We do not have SBF yet to recover bricked phones so you are installing the ROM at your own risk. Myself nor any team member of Team DeFuse will be responsible if you soft brick your phone.
The Pro version is still in RC stages and soon will be up to par with the Droid2, Droid2 Global and Droid X builds. I do not have device so counting on your input to bring this up to speed.
Thanks!
Team DeFuse Presents
Vanilla Android 2.4.3
Only use themes made for 2.4.X if you want to keep lots of new features in Fission!!!​
Video Install Guides for Fission ROM Manager can be found HERE. Thank you darkonion for making the vids

About Us & ROM:
The first generic Android platform for current and future Droid devices. We are a bunch of mad hackers, modders and developers that were not happy with the current model of Droids being "Blurred" so we began a mission to rid our devices from the blurriness of VZW Android systems. It started with a crazy idea of messing with the Droid2 SDK that has turned into a full fledge AOSP generic type of ROM. We have incorporated many features that were only seen in AOSP ROMs before this. Some of the features include Reboot in Power Menu, custom built Framework, vanilla Android GUI, totally blur free app folder and many more AOSP like features to come in the short term future.
Features:
True Vanilla ROM with generic Android feel, not themed to look line one. No blur apps...
Reboot in Power Menu.
Custom Framework - 10% battery increments with display percent number & without.
Overclock ready out of box.
Lots of free memory.
ROM has root and has been deodexed, and zip alligned.
Busybox installed and symlinks have been applied.
Clean base for you to customize how you like.
And many more...
Fission ROM Manager:
Fission ROM Manager (FRM) is a utility we developed to make modifying your Droid phones much easier. It was designed for the new Android user but also very useful for the more advanced user. You can download ROMs, themes, updates add ons and much more. Once your downloads are done you can install everything within Android. No need to go into recovery any more.
HotFix:
Please see download links for new patches.

Themes:
Check Fission ROM Manager. Many themes are up.
Changelog:
2.4.2 -> 2.4.3
Removed Sound and Speach Recoder
Added new Sound Recorder that can be launched from App Draw
Added 10% Battery Display option to FRM. Will reset current theme back to Stock Fission.
2.4 -> 2.4.2
DX build gets new framework whcih should fix the random USB reboot when plugging in.
All previous fixes are now included
Latest Android Market
More Code Cleaning
Full version ROMs and Upgrades are available. Upgrade will only replace packages. It will not wipe app or framework folder.
No reason to wipe cache or data if coming from Fission ROM for either Full ROM or Upgrade.
2.2.1 -> 2.4
All Devices are now equal. Perform and look the same.
Framework improvements all around. Colors, placement of graphics...lots of little changes.
Almost all apps for each device have been rebuilt from source. Either from AOSP source or Moto source.
Each device now has device specific apps. Will help of future Blur add on. Many people been asking for many different Blur apps so there will be an add on Blur package. Blur package will be heavily modified Blur services and then each app will be an individual add on.
MMS menu compose graphic now fixed.
Phone mute fixed.
Rebuilt Moto Apps (MediaGallery, Cam and Music) are now standard. They work better and will help with Blur add on. Generic Android Apps will be available on FRM.
All devices now use Moto Multi-Touch keyboards. They are themed as Generic Android Keyboards.
More cleaning of code and tweaks...
Few other changes I can not think of right now
Small bug with Global ROM. If you need to activate, slide out keyboard and hit the number key you need to use.
No need to wipe data or cache if coming from previous Fission ROM; however the installer will wipe your system folder so back up any changes you have made to your system folder.
DO NOT USE 2.3.1 Themes. They will work but you will lose lots of changes. Themers are working hard now to update themes.
I must say these are the best Fission ROMs so far. Lots of love and hard work went into them.

Haha...expect a nice christmas present This was the very first build without having a device in hand.
I would not suggest it as daily ROM yet, was looking to for bug reports to see what needs to be fixed.
There's a system update that just came out yesterday. It would be great to include that in your next RC. For whatever reason, I can't install the update. I think it's because I'm running CWM recovery (Droid 2 bootstrapper).
EDIT: I'll be your tester for sure if you include the latest system update! It apparently improved the phone call quality and global GSM issues.
Here's the info:

Hey guys,
Nice work. I put this on my Droid Pro and it works fairly well. Here are a few issues:
1. The right convenience key doesn't work. there was no option to set it to anything.
2. On the notification bar, the battery meter kept showing that it wasn't charging and periodically a second charger icon would appear, showing it charging.
3. The airplane mode icon would periodically appear, making me think I wasn't connected to the internet. I'm currently running on wireless and also roaming in Canada (all data and network are open as I have a Canada calling plan and int'l data plan).
4. The 3G Mobile Hotspot isn't there. This is a must-have for me and is the main reason I went back to stock.
Overall, the UI seems very snappy. I'm running Launcher Pro plus and it really flies on this ROM, much faster than on Stock.
Can't wait to see this baby improve over time.
Q: Does this include the latest system update? Just wondering as Android 2.2 is listed under Android Version, instead of 2.2.1.

Great. Looking forward to it.
Q: any way to build wpa_supplicant into it so it recognizes ad hoc networks?
Gents,
I'm based in the UK and on a business trip to the US a couple of weeks ago I got given a Verizon Droid Pro as a gift during the conference I was attending. It's completely useless in the UK at the minute as it won't let me use a UK SIM (seems locked to Verizon only, not much of a World phone then...)
And so I'm happy to use the device as a test device if that might help getting things un-Verizoned and eventually someone comes up with an unlock for the GSM radio so I can use it in the UK. This device is way faster than my Galaxy S and so I'd love to make it my main device (unless I brick it, that is )
Regards,
drfonz
Hi Everyone,
Happy New Year!!!
Sorry that the progress of this ROM has been so slow but I do not have a device to build with. However that will change today, found a good deal on a Pro from craigslist so hopefully the person comes through and meets up with me today. Once I have it the ROM should make it to final version pretty quickly.
Installed RC1 and patches this morning, and I must say it's nice to see a stock Android ROM, but there are quite a few glitches, graphical and otherwise. For example, I can't use the Market because it force closes when I try to download any apps!
This makes it tricky to install any support tools I might need to go back to the Motorola ROM to get back to a working system. Any ideas?
Cheers!
drfonz
Another thing that makes my problems worse is that I no longer seem to be able to side-load APKs into the phone as it gives me a fatal error every time I try. That means I can't install ANY apps, including Fission Rom Manager!
So I'm seriously stuck!
drfonz
You should be able to use the device anywhere but you'll have to pay roaming fees. You can call Verizon International support to get an unlock code which you input once you insert the new sim card.
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA App
I was reading about Fission and I'm curious. Are all Fission Roms AOSP vanilla?

Good Morning,
Did your craiglist purchase work out ?

Anybody have a link or have lost of updates with 2.3.6?

I can't find list of everything 2.3.6 upgrade consisted of.
It's right on the Sprint site.
All it did was fix the Loss of Service issue & allow for 4G Tethering. Not a huge update besides fixing LoS.
the LoS is the biggest thing people have been waiting for.
Along with it comes a few minor UI tweaks (plenty of posts around that list them). It also comes with an upgrade to 2.3.6 which includes some other stuff you may or may not notice.

[Q] 4.0.2 vs 4.0.3

Hey guys,
I have been running the AOKP ROM with Franco's Kernel, and LeanKernel after that, and have loved it. The only thing is that my battery life hasnt been too great. This isnt the ROM's fault because battery life wasnt that great even before I rooted.
Anyways, I'm thinking about trying Android Revolution HD as it promises to increase battery life. However, it seems to be based off of 4.0.2.
So, I'm just wondering if it makes sense to go down from 4.0.3 to 4.0.2 instead of staying at 4.0.3. What do you guys think?
Is there really much of a difference between 4.0.3 and 4.0.2?
thanks in advance
difference from google.
Social stream API in Contacts provider: Applications that use social stream data such as status updates and check-ins can now sync that data with each of the user’s contacts, providing items in a stream along with photos for each. This new API lets apps show users what the people they know are doing or saying, in addition to their photos and contact information.
Calendar provider enhancements. Apps can now add color to events, for easier tracking, and new attendee types and states are now available.
New camera capabilities. Apps can now check and manage video stabilization and use QVGA resolution profiles where needed.
Accessibility refinements. Improved content access for screen readers and new status and error reporting for text-to-speech engines.
Incremental improvements in graphics, database, spell-checking, Bluetooth, and more.
it is up to you if you think these are worth it. I have flashed android revolution and it was quite nice but I'm currently using the AOKP rom which I like better.

New EMUI 2.0

Hey guys,
what to expect from the new EMUI 2.0? Features and improvements. There's this video but nothing realy new or inovative from my point of view.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72WHPbqSamk
Yes my overall assessment is that. They added many small but useful features, small changes everywhere, fixed bugs and problems, fine tuned the performance.. But nothing that would be some kind of a news breaking or some revolutionery exceptional feature.
Btw that video does not reveal much. You can visit EMUI 2.0 thread in original android development section.

[Q] Updates worth it or no

Still running 10a rooted and heavily debloated including everything Google. Is there any significant improvement from any updates. Regularly see 5 hrs sot as long as I don't play games, phone is quick and to my mind no lag. Would hate to return to stock to update only to find no significant improvement and have to reset my phone. Looking for definitive results as opposed to placebo effect etc.
I'm running 10i on D855
I haven't seen THAT much difference but I must say it performers better.. less lags
Battery seems the use maybe a tiny bit better..
That's just my experience
In running v10j currently. The only differences that I've noticed are some bug fixes and performance improvements.
It's the performance improvements I'm trying to define. In what way does it perform better. My phone has no lag that I can see, no overheating, reboots or sharpening issues. Internet is quick enough on 3g that I use my phone to tether my work computer and canceled my broadband. You mention bug fixes. What bugs. As open to abuse as they are is there any benchmark evidence showing significant changes.
I had some issues early on with FC's on the message app but that was fixed via a firmware update not a app update for some reason. The camera has also improved with each update even though its already great. V10j changed how big the powered by Android logo is on boot up. I think v10i had the best performance updates in terms of smoothing out the menus and delay of the multitasking menu. My phone hits 47k on antutu stock rooted no mods other than some Xposed modules that have no effect on speed. I also have the F460S so it might benchmark higher than the SD801 models. See images below for change logs of the updates and my antutu. It should also be noted that I kept root through all updates on my phone. I didn't screenshot the earlier updates but another member has also updated and kept root with the F460 so I'm not alone here.
Cheers for the reply mate. I think I'll stay put. If it ain't broke don't fix it. :good:
