[Q] Any Kernels for the Droid X? - Droid X General

I have an incredible also and there's about 8-12 different kernels you can choose from, a lot of them have had a big impact on my phones performance and battery life.
Was wondering if the Droid X had any kernels?

No, the locked bootloader prevents us from running a custom kernel as of right now. Aliasxerog, palmer curling and others are working on a kexec module for a 2nd boot

Droid X running CM7 through 2nd init

http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?283-Video-CM4DX-Installed-and-Running
CM7 is right around the corner, folks.
This is very exciting news! When did work on this CM7 port begin?
thats for the droid x, and still needs alotta work , we need a dev to work on the full time and make similar progress
I know, but it's progress on a Motorola device
I'm not sure why people have the idea that if something works on one phone from the same manufacturer that it will work on them all. The Droid x shares nothing at all with the atrix. Ones opmap the other tegra2, nothing at all is shared other then the sticker.

2nd init is a shared method.
Yes but the 2nd int has to be ported same with cm7. Its not just copied. Its the same effort needed for say using it from a Samsung.

Nevermind, it's already clear you don't know about 2nd init status for the atrix. As soon as someone writes cm7 atrix users are good, correct?

From what I understand, the trick is porting CM7 so that it works on the Atrix's stock kernel. I imagine that's not a trivial undertaking.

Doesn't the Atrix use the same kernel as the Defy (2.6.39) - which also has a locked bootloader, but is running a fully functional (and to be soon officially supported) of CM7?

It may be running the same kernel version but there are surely differences in the kernel itself between the two devices. They have totally different hardware and need different modules at the least.
I'll admit I'm off into supposition territory as I haven't compiled a Linux kernel in years, and then only for my old P4, but I would think it would be the same/similar for our phones.

My point is that both of those other phones are able to run GB 2.3.4 on top of a locked down 2.2 via 2nd init which is now available for the Atrix.
It is no longer a matter of the Atrix not being able to run a full blown rom like CM7, but rather a matter of not having the developer support to make the port itself, don't you think?

It might help to flash a custom kernel that supports voodoo control. Be careful not to boost the volume too much and blow the speaker. As with all mods, once you depart from stock there is a risk of screwing things up, especially if you don't what you're doing.

There is, but I don't suggest using it... it is easy to root the phone, just look up the guide and have fun. It's fun to figure out how to do stuff.
I have not heard of anyone being charged for tethering, but it does not tether 4G.
Download voodoo control from the market (requires a custom kernel, I suggest matrix kernel), it can raise the sound level.
have fun!
Matrix kernel is the best? Or which is the best

What are the main differences between the two? I know Mikeyinid's stock(ish) rooted rom comes with Matr1x because they work well together from what I gather.

Both support bln, voodoo, overclock up to 1.4 MHz, and undervolt (for better battery and less stability).
Netarchy supports several additional features, such as touchscreen sensitivity tweaks if you tweak the config files. See the OP for the full list of features.
Matr1x runs at 1.2GHz by default (i.e. without changing the settings in Set CPU). It includes a custom boot animation, which you can change back if you like. Overall, it seems to be more stable, a bit smoother, and better for battery life. Compactness, stability, and battery life seem to be higher priorities to the dev than adding exciting new features. It is less tolerant of undervolting, if that's a concern. Turn off things such as wifi and 4g before flashing, to avoid issues.
Both devs are phenomenal, and I don't think you could go wrong with either. James Bond is also quite popular. For either, cfs seems to be slightly more stable than bfs for most people.
Note: Put the flamethrowers down. These are my own personal opinions and observations. YMMV
Matr1x kernel is very good i use it as my daily, if i were you i would just try them all and see which you prefer.
I have heard nothing but great things from both devs and their followers. I will probably try Matr1x first because it comes with Mikeyinid's rom already and his rom is about what I am looking for.

JB for 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,
wws12

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.

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.

Can I overclock my RAZR m?

Hey guys, I'm on stock 4.1.2 and it's running well. But I was wondering, now that the bootloader is unlocked (or just in general) is there a way to overclock my RAZR on the stock ROM?
The phone is fast but with the great battery life I wouldn't mind some extra horsepower throughout the day.

You need a kernel capable of overclocking to overclock, so keep an eye on kernel development. It's sure to pick up the Razr hd family now that we've unlocked the BL. Also, underclocking > overclocking. I've got an ATT HTC One X, which has the same processor and, thanks to the magic of project butter, I've underclocked as low as 1.3ghz (the lowest current kernels are capable of) without seeing any difference in performance. I do, however, get much better battery

A kernel is like the bridge between software and hardware, it's the Rosetta Stone from which the two communicate.
It affects processor clock speed, screen resolution, volume level, etc.

Do we have any custom kernel dev going on?

Wondering when we will see custom kernels for lots of governor/scheduler fun with undervolting/underclocking and ability to dictate things like "max frequency when screen off". Those abilities really helped stretch my GS3 battery.
