Are these kernels installed as usual? I can't seem to get my phone to boot into recovery. Either Clockworkmod or SPRecovery.

Same here, I got Flash installed and working but no recovery mode.

Wow, thanks!
I'm gonna add these to the official thread
yeah, no problem - you/another guide can delete this thread then if it's clogging everything up too much

Nevermind, I got it. I tried to install it from rom manager, and it failed, but it stayed in recovery. Installed from SD card. Booting now.

Funny, I re-flashed CM recovery and installed from ROM Manager and it is booting up now.

is apps2sd not working because they removed the kernal and apps2sd is supported through the kernal?

Don't knock this until you try it.
1. Enter about:debug in your stock browser's address bar (it will look like nothing happens).
2. Hit you menu, go to More | Settings -- scroll to the very bottom, choose "UAString" and change it to "Desktop".
3. Go to this URL:
Code:http://www.hulu.com/widget/player
You're welcome

My GPS worked, but my Maps didn't want to install from the Market. I navigated to the /system/app folder (using Root Explorer), and executed the Map.apk there. It asked me if I wanted to install ... voil

All the overclock kernels are now available in the OP.
Thanks to dodger55fan for helping me complete my collection
You're very welcome ... however, you're actually still missing the root fix for the sprecovery method (you gotta update.zip install it to recover root acess if you install 2.2 that way). I got you covered, here it is: MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service
Although it's supposed to be for the sprecovery method, if you lost root you can try making a backup and then installing the update.zip file i posted above which fixes the root access for those installing via sprecovery method.

It theoretically works, however I have only found one app that supports it

Thanks! I completely overlooked that as I've gotten off that SP Recovery. It's been added to the OP as well.
On another note...I find the default theme a little refreshing. Maybe it's just the delicious froyo getting to my head.

So is there a guide to get this 2.2 on the droid? Sorry this is my first update.

OK, I've been lurking on this thread all day and finally bit. When I try to flash the new ROM it keeps taking me back to my current install of NexBeastV1.1. I tried using the CW version in OP both via CW and as an unstuffed directory in nandroid backup folder. Both times, the phone reboots and "appears" to be installing something, but the something is apparently what I already had. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to first reinstall stock 2.1?

While trying to flash the nandriod backup on clockwork I keep getting "can't open /sdcard/update.zip" and "MD5 Mismatch!" ... Help Please
Did you extract the nandroid folder from the zip file?
Are you using the Nandroid recovery menu to apply it ("apply zip from sdcard" won't work).

Fab, I could understand where this poster is coming from. If you aren't familiar with what download links do what on your op it would be hard to know what to do with any of it.
Thanks for the mirrors btw!

Hey Fabo, what app do you have running there for the temp notification?Thanks! I completely overlooked that as I've gotten off that SP Recovery. It's been added to the OP as well.

I run the server that mdw is hosted on.... the traffic is just well, beyond belief lol
I have tried several times to turn the site back on... but ya we were not ready for 10,000 users every few minutes lmao
I have posted both the links on the site for the time being.... but with database traffic and this many hits, we are not able to keep the load under control. I will try every few minutes and see how it goes but so far after 5 attempts to bring it online the traffic is insane.... and way too heavy for one server.
Sorry for the trouble guys. We were stable until we went over 10,000 users in a 15 minute window.... after that it's time for a cold one and wait it out. lol
No worries, m8 - you did a good thing by posting those links there on the page. Most people never even get that done, so you're way ahead of hte game.
Fabolous has posted MediaFire links for all the kernels and files needed - ROMs (CW & SPR) plus root update for SPR, kernels, Flash, etc. all in his post - if you want to gank those links and add them to your MDW main page for now, I think he won't mind.
If he does, I copied all the files to *my* MF account, and I can link those for ya as well.
W00t! Thanks DodgerFan! making MF backups of those now....
