Some goodies I found - Droid X General

I have been looking around and I found some interesting goodies in the gingerbread leak (and maybe in froyo, I haven't checked)
First, if you go into settings > about phone, and rapidly tap on the android version, there is a little Easter egg ;-)
Second, if you want single percentage battery increments, download the app "minimalistic text" and use their battery widget.

You know, I thought he was just trolling.
He wasn't!
Hilarious.

What about the battery increments? Do those work on Froyo?

Yeah minimal text works on Froyo, i've been using it for a while now. Just wish I could see the easter egg, hopefully the OTA has it but I haven't gotten that yet either.

yes, I have GB on my DX, Optimus V and G1, all 3 have the same easter egg.

Guess i'll wait till the OTA hits me, plus waiting for manual root of GB.

New option in ROM manager

I was messing around with rom manager today and saw this. Guess birdman is going to release a rom soon?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Yes it will be called FlyX and he will later release one (about a week or so) vanilla ROM.

What rom manager is that you're using?
He should have FlyX out pretty soon here. He was going to have it out last night but ran into some bugs.
FlyX is just going to be a deodexed froyo build with bloatware removed. (still awesome)
But within the next couple of weeks he'll have a Froyo Vanilla ROM. (can't wait!)
Can't wait! Wife is getting tired of me flashing roms on her Incredible...

Wait, so is FlyX just deodexed, or is it going to be a straight Vanilla Froyo build?

FlyX is going to be deodexed, and optimized, with the bloatware removed.
He's also working on a Vanilla build that should be ready in a week or so.

Sweet, thanks for the clarification, still getting the hang of this stuff.
Arghh the wait is agonizing. J/k. Hope it comes out real soon. Can't wait to get rid of blur.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
yea blur sucks. dont know if blur is one of the reasons (small) that moto chose to lock the phone down like they did. out of however many people that hve the DX i bet there are probably about 24 people out of 250,000 or so that actually use the crap. cant wait to get it off MY phone and have what I want on MY phone. these roms cant get here soon enuff!
Anyone know if the multitouch keyboard will make its way into the vanilla version?

@michael_bolton I'd imagine it'll work just fine... I had it on my vanilla droid 1 before the x was even released...

Am I the only one who likes everything about 2.1 better?

2.2 just seems....unpolished? Tons of little annoyances, choppy browser even on non flash pages, etc. I don't know...I'm just not feeling it.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Not feeling a very beta build that barely made it to any testers?
Can't imagine why you wouldn't be feeling it.
It's not a finalized version. There are bugs and such because its a leak. Its more then likely a leak of a beta version of 2.2

Oh I didn't know that. Sorry to offend anyone, I thought it was final.

The DL30 leak is great, yes a bit buggy at times, but I also have no to desire to even think about 2.1 again. So happy to have some of the little features I've been missing. I was just about to give up on my fascinate, but the same day I was talkin to a buddy at work the leak came out. I was seriously sittin at work b!tchen about not have 2.2 and check on here and BAMMM.. there it was. I had 2.2 loaded on my phone faster then you could blink! lol
I like it so far

Interesting hidden image

So I decompiled framework-res.apk from an eg22 build and in drawable-nodpi I see the attached picture. I laughed a little then was curious.... what the heck is it for or is it just an easter egg?

definitely an easter egg
this is a known image in gingerbread builds for all phones. you can view it on any phones running stock gingerbread roms or even custom roms if they haven't gotten rid of the option.
To activate it, go to ‘Settings’, tap ‘About phone’, scroll down to the end of the list and tap ‘Android Version’ twice and see for yourself.
That is really cool. I like Google. ^_^
I remember when they found this on the Nexus S.

GB Update for Epic

Spoke to Reston, VA today. They claim they are still working on the official GB update to the Epic with Samsung. They don't want to have any problems like they had with the Froyo update (according to them- there was a "lag" issue with the rotation on 2.2 OTA update). No date planned as of yet. Please stand by...
As long as its working right when it comes out. Thanks.

if only we could get em to release the source (with EVERYTHING needed) and let the community fix it for them, since we all know it would happen 10x faster than they are getting things done. Oh well, keep dreaming right?
Samsung should just give up and let the Epic community work on GB. Give them the source code and I bet they will have a fully functional build of GB within a month.

Hidden Gingerbread Zombie

Just thought I would throw this out there as a odd find. Messing around with a friends Atrix I was checking the version of Gingerbread & noticed I was rapidly touching the Android Version in settings and the screen quickly transitioned to an image of the Gingerbread Zombie
Stock Android Gingerbread OTA update version 2.3.4 - Just continuously touched the Android Version field as quick as possible for a second or two & this appears. Curious to see if this happens to any one else.
It's called an "Easter Egg" and it's been like that since Gingerbread was released. Here is an article from December:
