Cyanogenmod for x - Droid X General

The milestone has a encrypted and locked bootloader similiar if not exactly the same as the droid x. How is the milestone capable of running cyanogenmod and we cant on the dx? If anyone was ever capable of porting over cyanogenmod to the dx how difficult would it be to make the hdmi port work like it does on the htc evo?

The custom kernel will not allow full development for the droid x. But there is a dev I think porting Cyanogenmod to the dx using the stock kernel.

That dev is cvpcs and you can follow his work at his blog at http://cvpcs.org and on twitter at @cvpcs. The project name is CM4DX.

thanx for the clearification

I'm curious about MIUI as well. Somehow the Milestone has MIUI but not the droid x? Doesn't surprise me but I'm slightly jealous to say the least...

Here is something for you guys

Sense UI in Motorola Droid?

Does anyone know if Sense UI has been ported over to the MOTO Droid, in working order (able to make and receive calls, wifi and 3g working all that good stuff)? Just wondering if this was done successfully, and if it has been done, what is the process to implement this on my Droid?

Good Gingerbread ROM for Droid X?

I'm about to root a friend's Droid X and was wondering which gingerbread ROM should I flash on it. I'm an EVO user, so this is my first time posting in this Droid X forum. Thanks for any info...
No gingerbread for Droid x yet.

LOL Wish me luck explaining this to my friend! He is one of those that can't really tell the difference. He saw a video on YouTube where someone claims it's Gingerbread on Droid X but I knew too well that it's 2.2 with a GB theme. He won't understand this and just say, your EVO has Gingerbread, I want it on mine phone too. LOL Oh well...
On that note, what is the best 2.2 ROM for the Droid X?
Yeah... no 2.3 yet. P3Droid is close, but he hasn't been able to root his build yet, so we don't have anything. We've got themes and things ported like the keyboard but no official builds.
There's a pretty decent selection of DX roms, but they're quite similar. The overwhelmingly popular one right now is Liberty 1.5. The toolbox would be perfect for your friend as it allows themes and mods to be done really simply, as it's all GUI based. I've been running it since its release. I'd encourage you to check it out.

Libery, Apex, Fission and Darkslide are among the popular ones right now. I have had the best luck as far as speed goes with Fission and Liberty. Cyanogenmod is much anticipated for the DX and should be hopefully available soon.
Apex and liberty are my favorites

I dunno about the original statement (although its not that hard to believe they woudln't want to...)
But cvpcs just recently started working with the cyanogen team, and since he had been doing GEM for the Droid lineup, he took it upon himself to do a cyanogen build for the X.

Devs Question...encrypted boatloader

I am visiting here from EVO forum... The word is that there'll be an encrypted bootloader on the EVOO 3D just like the Motorola Droid X... can anyone weigh in on the problems this poses. It seems you guys have plenty of roms, but people are saying it will make roms nonexistent on the EVO 3D. Is this the case? Is it more difficult for Devs around here because of this?
Thanks for any feedback in advance!

It disallows us from flashing custom kernels; therefore, we can't have things like Cyanogenmod and true AOSP ROMS.
Our ROMS are made from the stock Droid X rom and have things like motoblur removed and replaced with AOSP applications.

It just makes life difficult if you like to customize your device. I also find that as time goes on, it becomes more annoying.

The thunderbolt key was a lot simpler and it was considered incredibly lucky they got through. The droid x has a 1024 bit RSA encryption key. Have fun getting through that
There's a lot of differences in MOTO and HTC's way of locking it down. MOTO has an encrypted bootloader while HTC uses an encrypted signature. Also a permanent root is possible on MOTO devices while only temp root on HTC. With HTC any changes made to the system partition are reverted back to stock on a reboot. Makes customs roms pretty useless. Unless we get lucky like the thunderbolt we won't have s-off on new HTC devices unless they let us.

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.

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.
