No it doesn't but it does mean a lot more roms for root users

This is what we need to get OC'ing working right?
Can we flash this to our current roms?

This is already in all the current ROMs. Now we can start using modified kernels that allow for OC and the like.

Yeah that's what I was thinking by I didn't know for sure. But why couldnt we OC before if we already if we already had the kernal?
mmm.......

I don't think you understand what this is. This isn't a rom or a patch or an update. This is the source code to the Eris's kernel. We didn't have this before, we were waiting on HTC to release it.
Do a google search for linux kernel to get a better idea of what a kernel is.

The runnable form of the kernel can't be changed (much very easily, at least). Having the source code renders making real changes to the kernel feasible.
very nice. i cannot wait to come back from vacation to see our phone finally OC'd
YESS! Finally
So this wont help find a vulnerability for us leak users?
It may help find a hole in 2.1 for leakers... But dont get your hopes up to high.. The 1.5 source didn't yield much in the way of root when it was released. Im more excited to possibly see OC on the Eris!!
I'm not a leaker, but there's a thread in General that talks about the incredable being rooted from just the source. That's where you'll probobly find a hole.

this is good news!
I stumbled upon an article linking to a download to the Gingerbread "beta" for Evo and I'm wondering:
What would happen to my current roms if I actually flashed the update? (using CM 6 and Fresh 3.4.0.1)
Is there potential to completely brick the phone to the point I won't even be able to get into the recovery to get back to a functional rom?
Its not beta. More like a "dev only" or alpha. Its in the dev forum. It wont brick your phone but It could give you some headaches if your new at flashing roms.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
it is very choppy on my phone, like 5fps choppy.
but text and web browsing worked, along with the market.
however couldn't check gmail, id click on the email and it'd open than go back to the menu right away
Is the flashing process any different than simply selecting the .zip file from clockwork, or do I need to name it update or PC36IMG?
or would it be similar to the headaches received from not wiping the data and cache to load CM 6.1 "stable"?
What exactly are you hoping to accomplish any way? The rom is purely in developmental stages right now and should in no way be used as your primary rom. It's literally going to suck. Performance is NOT there right now. Given the questions you're asking in this thread it's highly unlikely you're going to be loading this rom and helping to improve it by developing it further...
a 2.3 based rom for the Evo intended for the "end user" is likely not going to be ready for you until the source is released for 2.3.
I just saw this posted, not sure if it could be of any help to those that "were" working on the sdk port. I say were because the thread was just closed.

You are mistaken at what that rom is. It is a froyo rom for the Droid X with the gingerbread keyboard and theme.
The numbering convention for the Droid X firmwares just happen to be at 2.3.x right now which is probably confusing you. If you actually go the thread dedicated to that rom you will see: http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/d...x-1-3-0-droid-x-running-running-fast-can.html

What was/is mis-leading is they are calling it "unofficial Gingerbread port" when they should have called it a rom with a ported theme & keyboard. They never mentioned the version # so I wasn't looking at that. Thanks for the clarification. ... Android Central>
That is a very mis-leading title.

Well the ROM creator didn't do that, it was the genius who blogged about it lol
This was posted on Droid Life.
Are our ROM developer's going to be able to use this to do some cool stuff with this?
I'm just curious.

I'm guessing they may be able to pull some app builds out of it, and some images...but I don't know that the X will run 3.0 without a kernel update... Just a guess.
Will cyanogenmod ever work on droid 2? my friend has it on his evo and it looks awesome.
There have already been several threads on this topic. Please search before posting.

Hrmm… within this “Motorola Droid 2” forum on this site the only two threads that come up for me when searching for “cyanogenmod” are this thread and this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=969895&highlight=cyanogenmod
I initially did a broader Google search where I found a bunch of old requests on various sites for Droid 2 support. All of those alluded to possible support in the future. This thread happened to be more recent so I was hoping to find a more definitive answer, but no dice.
If you have a specific thread you suggest we look at you might want to provide the URL, or provide a concise answer to the question, or just save yourself the energy of posting useless responses.

Damn you need to grow up.
No the droid 2 will never get cynogen mod because the bootloader is locked with an RSA 1024 bit encryption.
But if either you or the op had done some searching, you would have known this
never? Then how is dx getting it?

why not let cvpcs finish with the dx side of things before we start asking about d2, cause it will come...

Is it that good already? I was planning on waiting a little whole for them to work the kinks out before I switch from liberty. I might have to check it out
Sent from my Galaxy Tab 10.1 using Tapatalk.
I don't think there are too many kinks left. It's pending approval by the CyanongenMod team for official "forking" but I have to say build 13 is pretty stable as far as I've seen since I flashed it last night.
It is necessary to SBF back to 2.3.2? I would like to flash over Fission if it is not required.
I SBF'd but I don't think it's necessary. I was coming from Liberty 2.0 and only SBF'd for fun before going to CM7-D2. I read it's better to install with ROM manager but after flashing the recovery it never rebooted into it for me and I had to use Bootstrapper to install the ROM. Now ROM manager's recovery works fine inside CM7.
Now will this work for D2G or just D2?
Also, what is it like on battery life?

I'd like to know this too. My woman has a D2 with an OLD Gummy Jar rom on it. (2.1) with a Pink DL theme she's been running for months... This is obviously froyo - rooted.
Can I wipe and flash CM7 like I would anything else? Or does it have to be SBF'd first?
If you're on froyo then make sure you do a complete wipe (data, cache, and dalvik), nandroid and then flash away. Once you're on cm7 and flashing nightlies you'll only need to wipe dalvik between flashes.

Using rom manager and bootloader, I was able to get cm7 #25 and works great. If I update to build 29 will I loose my interface set up if I update? I like how it's setup and want to know before I update...

I found this tread that makes an install of Linux on every mobilephone, could this be usefull?? I am not a developer but I think this thing belongs to Development, if not I am sorry and ask mods to move this.
So what you want to do is install webtop as a linux OS on the atrix?
I think its not posible...but maybe Im wrong
from the (m)ATRIX...
Quote from that thread:
This projects aim is to bring a range of linux distros to your android device through a method known as 'chroot',

As far as I know, this is already available for the Atrix's webtop since forever ago, through debian chroot (and possibly webtop2sd).

Since this is a project working on also other devices w/o webtop functionality, maybe it could help in having webtop in cyanogenmod and other custom ROM builted from sources!

I know, but I posted the link here so that maybe some devs could possibly integrate it into a ROM so that when you connect the phone to tv/dock it boots automatically into linux distro!
It doesn't work like that. You have to actually start the hardware side of things on the tegra2 chip, it has nothing to do with the chroot linux distro, which is very old news (and all the devs know about it). What you essentially have to do is code the x session to send itself over the seperate hdmi output frame buffer, which also has to be triggered and deactivated properly.
No developer has been interested in really trying it. Jokersax was working on it at one point in CM9, but scrapped it due to upstream changes that broke his code.
This doesn't really belong in this section, and I've given you the actual reason why there's more to this than you think. Also, as I said, everyone knows about running linux on android in this fashion, as it's a very old project at this point.
Yup, chroot methods won't help a bit
I believe that webtop on cm is something that Samcripp is still trying to make work...

When the official ICS comes out, we just might have webtop on cyanogenmod

Maybe yes maybe no, because CM7 which is based on gingerbread (we do have official gingerbread) still dont have webtop integration...

The gingerbread webtop is a hack by Motorola. Even tho is a linux distribution its tightly woven into android libraries. This libraries without source can't be added into cm7.
Cm9 is different. Ics is capable of switching to tablet mode. Offering a better option than just plain locked down linux. We shall see.
