Question? - Droid X General

I might be buying a Droid x from a Co worker I would like it to root and maybe give to a realative. Is there such a thing s rooting and then going to a real cheap phone service and using the Droid on it.

It is a little more involved than just rooting your phone, you have to completely flash it. However, it can be done.

Not Happy with your Fascinate? Look Here!

Hey guys, so I've been a long time member of this forum ever since I had my G1.. I then jumped ship from tmobile and went to verizon where I got the Droid Incredible.. After a few months with that I gave my incredible to my GF and got the Droid X which has been pretty solid for me so far... However now im looking elsewhere again.
Basically, if anyone its not totally happy with their fascinate and would like to potentially trade it for my DX, PM me and we can work something out.
I'm looking for an IMMACULATE phone! My Droid X has had a Stein Ultra Crystal Screen protector on it from day one right out of the box, as well as a hard snap on case with belt holster, its condition is immaculate and I'm looking for the same
Will come with all OEM equipment in the original box... I'm giving Phone with screen protector, Home Charger, Car Charger, Two Peice snap on hard case with belt holster, AS WELL as the Verizon Extended Battery that I also have for this device... So youll be getting two batterys, the extended battery and the stock one.
Phone has OTA 2.2, Deodexed, Rooted, Debloated and Clockworkmod Recovery

Yeah I have to say, I was never really interested in the droid x but with all the stuff you were offering I thought I would at least research it. Well, that being said, I am not liking what I am reading in the dx fascinate comparisons. I have a feeling that it will be next to impossible for you to find someone with a fascinate that will be willing to give it up. If your at all interested here is the thread that will backup this claim:http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...did-anyone-here-switch-droid-x-fascinate.html
I got a crisp $10 bill 2010 series. Is there anyone looking to trade their wrinkled $20 bill for my crisp $10 bill?
good day.
Actually, I'm pretty sure he'll find a taker--probably someone who's more concerned about bulletproof GPS. Maybe not on this forum though.

The Droid X has the best antenna / radio out of any android device to date, youll get significant reception improvements in the switch if you live anywere that isent fullproof.. I know at my house with my old incredible I would get two bars that fluctuated between 3g and 1x.... With my X I get full bars 3g no questions asked 100% of the time
GPS is amazing.. Ive used google maps to navigate through downtown boston which is hell and never had a problem

I'm almost tempted to go through with the trade. But I live in Rome N.Y. not sure how we would go about the trade.

I'm interested but am concerned with how to securely trade items via mail. I like the fascinate much more but I'm tired of waiting for froyo and I'm pissed about the video out function being disabled. So my friend if you can come up with a way to trade with me in ohio that keeps me confident that you won't run off with my phone then I've got a pristine fascinate to trade. Pm me if you think we can work something out

I haven't tried the droid 2 but I have the droid x
So far I have really loved this phone. 4.3 inch screen is awesome, the processor is great, and the camera and hdmi is just fantastic. I did have issues with the first phone I received, the camera didn't take as good quality as I thought it should. Now that the X has a rom called Liberty it is even that much more awesome.
I have processed my exchange for a Droid X. Looking forward to it!

Should of waited for the bionic. Tis tis tis but the x is cool just wait until some underground hacker unlocks the bootloader man that will be the day.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I am trying to make the decision of which one to get at the moment, Droid 2G or the Droid X. Is there any reason to think one phone is more solid than the other?
I love my DX. I came from an iPhone and will never look back unless iOS changing a few things. If you pick the DX you will love it. HTC does make great phones but the size of this screen makes other things feel obsolete

Droid x2 pics and specs

Thought you all might enjoy this... looks pretty nice, but they still include the locked bootloader. Anyone willing to deal with that again or will you condemn moto to the way of the razr? Personally, unless blur is MUCH improved they won't be getting any more of my money. /end rant

Thicker, no FFC, no 4G no thanks.
No 4G won't even touch it, whats the point.
Locked boot = at the mercy of motorola regarding updates
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Frankly, screw Motorola. I like my Droid X, but the whole bootloader issue is guaranteeing I will never buy another device from them until/unless they change their ways.
I will never buy another Moto product with a locked bootloader...
Will go with htc next time... Just because of what they've been able to do with the evos UI, things we will never see on the droidx like MIUI,.and Myns warm rom looks pretty sweet.

They are similar in specs. You should play with the Evo at a Sprint store. Most have it on display now.
Well Evo seems easier to root with unrevoked and screen is almost the same, I hate hump in the back of the droid tho, and I got tired of motorola phones (bad speakers in most the I owned ) so I stick with the Evo and HTC if you want veruzon you should wait for the thunderbolt.or incredible s to come out , thunderbolt is an Evo redesing with new sense and inc s is almost the same just smaller

Does it have a locked bootloader??? My guess is no

Verizon has been ripping me off for the last six months and im sick of it. And im sick of Motorola locking there bootloaders. Is sprint getting any new htc phoned similar to the evo???
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
The specs are pretty much the same.
So in my opinion:
form factor: I like the evo. It's nice, slick, flat and sexy. The droid x has that awful bump on the back and is hideous. Winner: Evo
UI: Motoblur's happenings widget is badass, but HTC Sense is faster, better looking and more usable. The widgets are nice and don't slow the system down. Winner: Evo
Root: Don't know Droid X root method, but the Evo was by far the easiest root I've ever gotten (coming from the MyTouch Slide and the G2). Winner: Evo
Roms/dev support: We got CM, which means we have THE BEST AOSP roms on earth. We've got half a dozen fantastic sense UI roms (Myn, MikFroYo, Konikub's Elite, etc) and they're always updated and supported. Plus, a bunch of themes. Winner: Evo
I'd get an Evo, but you should try one out at the store before making a decision. Some people really like their Droids.

No. They are probably waiting for a killer device - The Echo

You have to download the HTC drivers, Android SDK (which any rooted android user should already have) and UnRevoked. Then open unrevoked and root. All done. There's an FAQ around here somewhere...
Thanks for your help and opinions fellow android users

Going to the Droid x

My Dad got me the HTC evo at the beginning of the year but now me and him want data (we were flashed to pageplus but data didn't work on them). So my question is what is the best. rom, kernal, ect for the Droid x. I just want to be ready when I get the Droid x and messing arround for days trying to get the best combination or roms and kernals.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Well.
Good luck with that.
We have a locked bootloader, kid. The kernels we're provided are the kernels we get.
But as far as ROMS go...
I like Liberty. Both the froyo and gingerbread versions are great.
I haven't really played with the others...for...like 5 months.
So maybe they're holding ground too, but I wouldn't know.
Apex 2.0 is talked about a lot.
Zombie Stomped
Fission
P.S.
You're switching carriers and picking up a Droid X?
I assume you're going to lock yourself into a 2 year contract?
Not to be rude...and nothing against the X...
But this phone will be a year old in July.
The X2 is already out, actually.
I'd get something top-of-the-line for the extra $50 if you're going to be stuck with it for two years.
No my dad buys them off of craigslist. And the evo wont get 4g service but my dad got the x and it works great
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
My advice is to influence your father to make the better choice and go for the newer device. From the purely economic point of view, buying a year old phone now results in an increased likelyhood of failure or desire for a newer phone in the two years of your contract, buying the new phone now means you are more able to make it two years without being left behind.

Not even the dx2 has 4g, you may want to do a little more research before you pick out a phone
Agree if ur looking for a 4g phone the droid x or x2 isnt for u. I have the droid x2 it doesnt have 4g

No it was a typo. But I'm still getting the Droid x
