Is it possible this will be ported to the DroidX? I will only have mine for a little longer but was still curious.

I believe CM7 is a full rom, as in not unless the bootloader is defeated. So, id say, possible, but thats if they can figure out how to load kernels.
the milestone has a lock bootloader and it just recently got cm6 so hopefully someone can port it over to the x
There's been talk of CM coming to the X ever since the X came out. It hasn't happened yet, and chances are it won't happen anytime soon.
Me and another developer are going to work on this. CM7 can't be done until a Moto kernel update but CM6 can be done.

Thanks for the answers, this is why I'm switching back to my HTC Incredible.

That would be sweet (cm7 & bypassing bootloader), this is why my next phone will have an unlocked or already defeated boot loader.

I started porting it a few days ago. Matt's going to be joining me
It likely will not be fully supported by Team Douche (The CyanogenMod team) since the ramdisk can't be edited due to the locked bootloader, but it's still very possible to have CM6 on the DX.

What's the key difference that makes CM6 portable and CM7 not? Ive been lost in DX world so I'm not up on CM roms.

CM7 is based on Gingerbread, in which Gingerbread updates to the 2.6.35 version Linux based kernel. CM6 is Froyo based, which uses the 2.6.32 kernel that we currently have.
To add on to Derek, once Motorola updates our phones to Gingerbread, and gives us the needed .35 kernel, then GB should be posible.

Your asking for a bootloader unlock? That's like asking for time travel

So about that bootloader unlock...
Okay, you need to get a brick and drop it on your phone and it will be unlocked! We were keeping it a secret so shhh!

That's how I unlocked my DX. Now I have all the freedom I want out of it, straight down to the hardware
The droid is also a long time to hack, but still did it. ) =

According to Droid Life, kexec is getting ready for a release which could in fact bypass the bootloader and make CM7 possible?

The kexec hack basically allows for piggybacking another kernel onto the stock kernel.. and there has been huge progress made in that arena.
Unfortunately, there are a ton of remaining unsolved issues with this work-around, including:
--Stability.
--Once running another kernel, for drivers to work (including the radio which means 3g and phone functionality), those modules will need to be reverse engineered and ported over to the other kernel...
--etc.
So, while progress is being made... it's more likely that any work done on the X getting "around" the locked bootloader will be used to continue this work on future Moto hardware such as the bionic.. but it's not likely we're going to be seeing full ROMs running on the X for daily use any time soon...
I just recently flashed CM7 and i dont want to mess it up because it is a pretty long process and i was wondering what kernels can u use for it because i not sure is it like any other rom
Only use the one it comes with or bilboas kernel posted in the dev section. Any other kernel will most definitely end in bad news for you.

Have fun.
Hi all, my mom will be getting a new Droid 2 soon that she'll be using on a page plus prepaid plan and I just have a few questions. I know that there is a lot of information here of the forums but things change so often with development that I think I'll get a better answer if I just ask you experinced guys directly.
I'm just looking for the most stable ROM for her, and the best battery life. It doesn't have to be the newest and greatest, it just has to work when she needs it so that she doesn't get irritated with it.
Thanks in advance.
Just stick with stock if she's inexperienced.

Will stock run smooth enough with out any freezing?
It came today and it had 2.2, I think i'll update it to 2.3 though.
It works for the 95% of the users who don't get pissed off enough to come here and change it
.sbf to the second-to latest firmware. If you OTA, you'll end up with the latest, un-rootable update, making any future development impossible.

On your question about most stable Roms, Galnet MIUI 2.2.10 was the best I've used as far as being issueless. Just behind that would be CM9.
If you do decide to flash MIUI you'll probably want to install a different launcher for her as well if she's used to Android and not looking for a change. Otherwise just let her run with it and see how she likes it.
PROBLUMS HAVE BEEN SOLVED BY KAYANT. THX FOR HIM
Problem comes here.
Some of my friends from our association including me want to develop roms based on AOKP or cm, and those development projects are based on STOCK kernel for it is less likely to crack and are much easier to test.
WHEN I dealt with 4.1.2, I made a mixture of it (mostly framework) with the older 4.1.1-stock kernel rom, and was finally able to boot on stock 2.3 kernel. (see my post on Defy General)
BUT HOW can I transplant/fix those 2NDBOOT ROMS to STOCK KERNEL without MAKING a 'mixture'? The method mentioned above is NOT able to make the latest 4.2 rom to boot.
ps. removing the custom kernel and change default bootmode into 2ndinit IS USELESS.
