Settings and about phone. I am just wondering because Rumm is 2.3.320 and I think Fission is 2.3.340. If you want try this before you try Rumm. Backup current ROM and then run the Metro Flash from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730289. Also make sure your APN settings are correct.
Thanks a lot I found that I can have everything working with the stock Rom. Using root explorer to push the u2nl and upstart.sh. it will only send mms using 3 mags pixel.

Help with mms!!!
Ok, I've followed everything step by step in order to make my stock GB DX work on Metro instead of VZW. All went perfectly until the last part. Flashing MetrOFF 1.2 (GB). I have put the file on my sd card and tried running it in recovery mode per instructions, and it seems to start, but then fails out saying that it's not signed and aborts. Does anyone know how to make it work? I like the stock ROM and took out most of the bloatware that I didn't want. The rest is perfect imo, except the MMS part. I don't have service yet because I want the phone working %100 before paying another company money for service. Pease help!!?

Try using the old version of CWM recovery.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
ok.. CWM Recovery. Sorry, I'm tired and I don't quite follow. I know I didn't say which instructions I followed, but I never had to dl another recovery prog to get this far. I did get the instructions from this forum and followed them to a tee. After all of that, I ran across another thread that showed me how to mod settings through ##7764726 with the code 000000 (Well, it led me there and I figured out alot just by looking around.), and then another prog allowed me to set the APN. Anyway, I wonder if between that and other forum instructions, did I bypass having to use the MetrOFF mod? I'd still like to because all of the other instructions there were right on the money and don't want to find that I missed something going through a back door. TY for the info...
Also (a bit off topic), I need a prog that will allow me to actively switch between apps (ie. Web, game, IM service, sms/mms, e-mail, etc) w/o having to back out completely or restart the app or navigate from the home screen to that app every time. Kinda like Task Manager in Windows Mobile 6.5??? I'm sure I'll have to designate a shortcut to that app on the home screen (wish I could make a button do it, like the back button ), but it would make "fast switching" a hell of alot faster and easier. TY big time for any help here!!!
Going further down the rabbit hole... Why isn't it told that in order to install CWM you need to get something from Java in order to undersrtand the SDK file of Android and then from there (God willing) understand wtf you're doing to install CWM on the DroidX? It seems pretty clear that this is the process to get an app from the AndroidMarket to work on this phone. Yes, for me it's worth the effort, but for a noob with no patients that just wants the better to be best, I think it should be an added must in all instructionals! Even my tech savvy self (still learning all things android) is perplexed and almost confused at all of this. I hope I help someone out there with all the same frustrations...
OK. I have since went round and round like most of us do to get things working correctly. I have had success in getting Bootstrap on my phone via .apk on my sd card (not the way I expected to after much hw and following guides), but even now that I have successfully installed CWM, I still can't run the MetrOFF zip file. I get an error stating that:
"Amend scripting was depreciated by Google in Android 1.5.
It was Necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery. Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages."
I then found the Metroff 1.3 [Edify] version that was also meant to remove a roaming indicator, and it was also aborted because of a yet unknown (to me) error. Again, I ask, Please HELP?
No older CWM...
@ Bigshotrob22
Ok, I finally figured out why you said to use an older version of CWM. Problem that I have now, is that I can't find on older version that works. I found 3.0.something and tried it, but it only booted to a black screen everytime I tried to use it at all, so I went back to 5.0.whatever for now. Can Anyone please post a link to an older version that will work on DroidX?

GPS problem with cm7?

Hi guys. I need a little help here please. I am running cm7 on my inspire 4g and for some reason my GPS doesn't wanna work anymore?
It rarely locks on a signal whereas it used to never have a problem and locked within 10 or 15 seconds.
I have tried different fixes. I tried the combined audio+GPS fix found on this forum. I've tried different kernels. I just can't get it to work!!!!
Can anybody please help me get my beloved GPS working again???

i had the same problem, i am using #17
for me it worked when i first turned on GPS and then 3G. And then maps located me right. It only worked correctly with 3G and not with WiFi.
maybe its the same for you
I'm using #15 and that didn't do **** to help me, lol. Ill get #17 tonight. Can I ask what kernel are you using on your phone??

Is it not only for Inspire ?
Unfortunately that didn't fix it either. I don't understand what's going wrong. I had it working a few days ago! I have tried multiple different roms and kernels with no success. I have tried cm7 #13 #17 #17 rc2 and even android revolution and none of them worked.
I just don't get it?

Does the gps get a lock when using a stock rom?
Running GPS status before google maps etc. means I get gps lock straight away on cm7. Running maps 1st means don't get a lock.
Ok, so I've tried everything mentioned here. I've turned on and off different functions in different orders. I've rebooted a million times too also while having things turned off or on.
I haven't tried it with a stock rom try as I modded and flashed cm7 on the phone the day I got it hut remember that the GPS worked up until the other day and now I don't know why it wont work.
Ill try flashing a stock rom on tonight and see what happens.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I have exactly the same issue. I downgraded from 1.75 to 1.36, rooted, ENG S-OFF, radio S-OFF and flashed Android Revolution with the recommended radio and I cannot use GPS at all. Tried flashing CM7 and same again.
Anyone got any ideas?

[Q] Liberty 2.0.1 to GB or not to GB ; )

Hello all,
My first post here, I'm checking out friend's phones that have GB running and really like the way things look and feel. Also seems to have more options or functionality over 2.2... I was wondering what the most efficient way to go from Liberty 2.0.1 over to GB would be? I really haven't wanted to change form 2.0.1 since i've had it basically the speed and function is nice as is... Is there a good reason to go to GB from Liberty and and how? Appreciate the help!
Cheers
I say GB.
I believe that you can get a GB Liberty ROM from the donate Liberty Toolbox.
Sorry I can't help you out any further.

Well, I say you do yourself a favor and upgrade to rooted GB! If you like Liberty so much, you can buy the Liberty Toolbox and get the GB Liberty ROM (and support the dev at the same time), that way you can have both. The Liberty ROM is being updated regularly because technically it's not out of "nightly" status yet, but it is VERY stable and works great. The cleanest way in my opinion to get from where you are to rooted official GB, is to SBF back to stock froyo, and then use the 2 part GB install (I'll link instructions to both). Here's how to sbf http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0jrXqqiepI. After you do that, follow these instructions using the files located here (use method two which is listed after the line that says "Patched update.zip (not signed)" in bold) http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...-5-596-release-thread-something-everyone.html. Once you are done with these steps, you can get the Liberty Toolbox and open it. Hit the "ROM Manager" tab, then "Nightlies" tab, and click on the latest Liberty Gingerbread rom (currently v0.8) and it will guide you from there. Enjoy!
Thanks!
@rruready, @Lofi Goosh-
Really appreciate the info! Super awesome I am gonna try doing it now- Thank you for the messages, hope your days are great and have a good weekend!
I'll post my results here when I get things set up-
Cheers!
Liberty GB .8 is pure win.

If your looking to get a lot of different options, go to cyanogenmod. The only thing not working on it is the camera and gps, but it is way worth it. just look up a video on youtube of cyanogenmod 7
CM7 is what I'm running and there are definitely more bugs than just the camera (which has a workaround) and the GPS (which there is a fix for); however, I'm still using it because even with all the issues, it's still rocking my world.
CM7 for the Droid X (CM4DX) can be found here:
http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?389-ROM-BETA-CyanogenMod-7-for-the-Droid-X
@ Maltmix, you may just want to try both Liberty GB and CM4DX as it really all depends on user preference.
Thanks for the great links and advise everyone! In regards to SBF, I think I have everything set up I had downloaded the 2 part file for 2.3.340 installed RDSLite, and installed motorola DX drivers, but RDSLite won't see my X.. I noticed alot of folks were saying something similar, not sure what to do from here.. I want CM7 but want to wait till the bugs are more polished lol shiny bugs! ; )

I was able to find an alternative to RDSLite for you. The instructions indicate easy use... the definite plus side is that you can burn these ISO's or put them on a flash drive to SBF from any machine.

Gingerbread Camera
I have Rooted Gingerbread on my X now, went to the Liberty 0.8GB Nightly, and all was well.. I was prompted to update or modify if i wanted via Liberty, and did that, but upon recommended reboot, i got stuck in a bootloop..
Lots of time and patience later, somehow finally got into recovery and re-flashed GB..
Everything is back on my phone, but the stock camera isn't the updated one that froyo and GB have, it's somehow reverted to the earlier not so good camera..
I was wondering if there is a way to update the camera to the most current google camera?
Thank you guys and gals so much for the assistance, I hope to be able to help other people someday too!
Thanks LG! I should try cm7dx, too really like it then?

[Q] HTC_IME and 2.3.3 = FC

Hi all,
Just updated to 2.3.3 (Generic AM x10a) and everything seems to be working as promised. All my apps have reinstalled and are working nicely except for one. I cannot get the HTC_IME to work. It always FCs. I have updated it to v27 as per this thread but to no avail.
Can anyone help me get this keyboard up and running? I miss my HTC_IME!
Thanks.
i believe youre missing some libs.
Umm. What libs? How would I find out which ones and then add them?

i have a few versions so i'm not really sure but i think this one works for me, if it doesn't work then tell me i'll find another version (please use PM because i don't subscribe to threads much)
Strange, I'm still using the .apk I downloaded for froyo and it's working fine... between eclair and froyo I needed a new version but after that no problems at all.

Mine works normally. One time when I was switching between custom Froyo ROMs it gave me an FC. But, then I realized I forgot to install both the htc_ime.apk and clicker.apk

I also am having a problem with HTC_IME and force close stating process jonasl.ime has stopped unexpectedly after I upgraded to 2.3.3. Even with the apk posted here, it continues. I did what Puck24 suggested by installing clicker, but it didn't help. Any other apk for the keyboard or suggestions?

Still using Fission here... how to get the new market?

I'm still using Fission 2.6.7 on my Droid X. This ROM is still perfect for me... awesome battery life and pretty great stability for a 14 month old phone. I'm using ICS keyboard and Music apps with no issues.
So I don't want to mess around with changing ROMs.
My only issue is really that my Market is still on version 2.2.7. Any way to update?
I will see if I can pull the latest market or post a link to help you out =D

Then just unzip it, find Vending.apk, an install it.

hmm, thanks for going to the trouble to post that.
whenever I try to install though, it gives me an error "App did not install!" or something along those lines.
