has anyone messed with this. will it work or does it have to change the kernel
same ask from me too
From the kubuntu wiki it seems that this is still in very early development. Looks like the n800 is the only device supported. So long story short, not right now.

Yes, it's in very early Dev. I'm one of the Kubuntu guys helping out on the project and a few months ago it was ported to the Motorola Milestone. I am working on getting it put on my Droid 1 and once I have it I will post a tutorial on how to do it.
Stay tuned and I'll update when I have it working.

How about the droid 2? I'm surprised there isn't any more information about this.

I know this is probably a newb question and since the method isn't posted here it's probably a no answer, but google only turned up vague references, no clear yes or no answers.

going to have a to go a little longer route, not too bad though. Back when i first rooted my droid incredible i had, it took me over 3 hours of restarting the phone and pulling the sd card hoping i would get lucky with the luck root method you had to use lol.
I don't mind doing it the long way just don't have internet at home right now outside of using easy tether on ubuntu. Going to take it to my friends house tomorrow and do all the work there.

Perfect! Go get the linux one-step. The zip is 1.1 mb. Android-sdk is 20mb. Update for the 2.2 platform is maybe a handful. And you are ready to go!
I am not exactly an expert on this but from all the Android phones I have had and rooted, the HTC and Motorola phones are completely different in terms of kernels and implementation. Most of these universal root applications are made for HTC based phones. Make sure your Droid 2 is one of the supported phones. Just my $.02.

Thanks for making your first post in a thread thats over 3 months old
And there is a one step root method for the Droid2 now its call Z4root
Hi guys, just got me a Droid X today, this is my first Android device, I previously had a Windows Mobile smartphone.
Glad to have you here. If you plan on going on to forums there are a few apps you should get. Try droid forum app and droid x forum app. Those will keep you in to loop on everything. So are you on gingerbread yet ? Do you plan on rooting?.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Thank you, i've looked in the Droid X forums before, I don't exactly remember if I went to the Droid forum before though. I'll get them. I'll eventually root but I have to learn how to. My old Dash 3g had a custom rom on it, and I flashed a custom rom on my fathers Dash, it's a better phone with it. I'm still on 2.2.
Welcome. And do not take the ota to gingerbread, install a pre-rooted version your self. That is the only way to maintain root access on GB...

Yeah, if you want Gingerbread and Root then follow the instructions on the thread below. It's easy and it works.

I rooted my phone today, and right now i'm running Cyanogen 7(pre-release candidate?). I might see about getting this rooted Gingerbread.
when i got my dx a week or so ago i thought ill try this stock gb.... oh what a waste of time. cm nightlies are the best out there now

Is it me or does my touchscreen seem like it's not as responsive as it should be in the app menu?(i'm on Cyanogen 7 Nightly 23 if i'm not mistaken) I'm back on Cyanogen but i'm going to go back to the rooted GB and see if it acts different. I don't know if it's something I should do, but in the app menu on my sisters EVO seems smoother and acts more responsive, and its harder to make a mistake opening an app.
i believe the last nightly should resolve this

I just saw over at droid life that the razr/maxx and possibly the bionic are going to get some custom kernel love using the now popular kexec method. I did a little searching on the Google and didn't see much in the way for DX kexec development. Does anyone know if any devs are pursuing kexec on the DX or is it just not possible or worth it?
While my DX may not be nearly as fast in some tasks as my S3, it still gets a ton of daily use and with CM 7.1 gingerbread kang it feels just as fast doing certain things as the S3.
Hopefully my Google-fu sucks and some awesome dev is already working on porting over CM9 with kexec kernel! I'd love to keep this phone around for a long time. It's just a little difficult jumping back from ICS to GB.
EDIT: looks like someone was working on this a while ago. Found a rootz thread that mentioned dxforums post that said the problem was drivers. Looks like the thread is now closed and was last active last year. Sucks. Anyone know anything else?

Developers worked on kexec for the longest time, and it worked.
But there were issues with drivers that crippled hope to get kernels working through kexec on the Droid X.

Hello guys.
I saw on the front page that someone had ported Jellybean to the X2. My question is, do you think some talented developer could port JB to the original X? JB on the X would be amazing and it doesn't seem that hard to do considering its already on the X2! I know they have different CPUs and GPUs, but would it be that hard to do?
Thanks,

C'mon guys, this would be awesome!
xx13thangelxx commented about this on RootzWiki. He said he owns both devices, and a simple port wouldn't work. Hardware is way different. DX is single core omap, while DX2 is dual tegra2, a simple port just won't work. If someone were to get it up and running on a Droid 2, which has the same hardware basically as the DX, a port would be feasible.
Ah but they have! It's for the Milestone 2 which is the GSM version of the D2.

Most new development and a lot of old development has ceased on the Droid X as many devs have moved on to bigger and better things (mostly shinier toys). Unfortunately I don't think our kernel can support a lot of the functions and to be honest, even if we came up with a 2nd Init JB for our DX, it would be even worse on battery life than the various ICS builds due to the fact that we cannot run custom kernels and the like to actually empower the hardware we have.
As far as JB goes, there's not a lot of real difference between it and ICS except a few different APIs and a bit of polishing as far as I'm aware, but again, we can't see the true benefit of these changes without a proper kernel and modules due to the locked down bootloaders forced upon us.
Unfortunately I'll also agree that most devs have moved on to other projects/devices. It's the nature of having to deal with a locked device and the fact that it's now been over 2 years since the DX was released. As a former DX owner, the SGS3 came out right as my contract was up so it made since to go to the next awesome thing.
I think p3droid and crew went to the bionic pretty early after it came out. I haven't really kept up with that bunch since they stopped releasing things for the DX. Also, cvcps is now the maintainer for the Cm10 builds of the SGS3.
When there was the big to do over the using of kexec to get around the kernel limitations I checked to see if someone would pick that up on the DX. Turns out that someone had, but the project was abandoned due to the difficulty of creating the various drivers needed. I had really hoped that the project would succeed so that my old DX would be useful into the future. However, it's now just a voip phone in my house.

There are still a few devs out here keeping up the DX's development. Nightly builds of CM7 for the DX are still being released almost daily. I know Wizard0f0s will be releasing an updated verison of his MIUI build any day now. CM9 builds periodically also seem to be leaking out. I wouldnt' be surprised to see a CM10 port from the Droid 2's alpha build making its way to the DX in the next few months. Not all hope is lost Give it time.
I'm happy with Gummy 1.20. Really it's too bad they killed it. Best ROM for the DX imo.
JB now works on D2 so yes, there are plans to port that to the X.

I second this!
From what I understand, Droid 2 ROM's work well on the Droid X with minimal re-configuration.
So please, please help the many users who are still holding on to their beloved Droid X's!
I purchased a Droid X and a 3800mah battery (china-style, but works great, 2+ days of battery life) for a total of 68 bucks from ebay a few months ago, and now I have Page Plus for 30 dollars a month (this and other phones work with no modding on their network).
Porting this ROM to the X would make my "just-like-verizon-but-way-cheaper" experience complete! THANK YOU SO MUCH AHEAD OF TIME. I WILL DONATE!!!
Lol give it some time. Like I said the dev is planning to move it over.to the X.

In the mean time gummy 1.20 has been updated to include HWA. It was tweeted out about a month ago by 13th angel.
I'm running it now and am very happy with the HWA upgrade. Battery life takes a bit of a hit but you can recover it with pimp my rom.
The Milestone 2 has received a JB port so it's now feasible to think that this could be installed on an DX. One problem though, the M2 is a GSM phone while the DX is a CDMA one. Is it easy to change it from wanting a GSM radio to using a CDMA one? Here's the link if anyone is interested.

I booted up my DINC for the first time in over a year today! I kind of miss it. Now I have an S3.
It is on Cyanogenmod 7, and I would like to wipe it and have it as a webcam for my dog while I'm at work all day, and she's home alone. I thought it would be a fun and silly project, and put my old phone to good use. I was planning on using Skype with security settings, but it's not compatible with this version.
Can anyone recommend the best simple updated ROM for it? I used to change the ROM about once a month, so I'm pretty experienced at flashing, but I haven't done it (on this phone) in so long that I'm a little behind the times!
Thanks
I would suggest Tiny's CM 10.1. I'm about to flash it and in my experience, his work is pretty great.
