Droid X running CM7 through 2nd init - Atrix 4G General

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?

I think there may be a way to get FROYO/Gingerbread on Fascinate

Ok I was thinking to myself & reading through all the forums & thinking the only thing stopping us from rocking out froyo/Gingerbread action on are samsung Fascinate's is the kernel issue right ?
off the beaten track but need to read to understand the train of thought:
Well being a former 2 week droid X owner & me being the modder I am I rooted it & as many of you Know the droid X has a locked bootloader but that has not stopped a well known android developer by the name of Jrummy to Develop a app to Overclcok the Droid X even with the locked bootloader but still the system is reading that the phone is still running a 1ghz speeds
Main Idea :
Well I was thinking why cant a more experienced dev than myself as I just started out as a developer a more experienced dev develop a app along the same lines to trick are fascinates into running Froyo/Gingerbread roms but still using the kernel we currently are using I am guessing the kernels might need to be tweaked but I think this is possible I believe if a more experienced dev contacted Jrummy he would give the source code to them to develope off of I am not sure but pretty sure he has it @ GITHUB

Actually he is half right. Punk.kaos currently has froyo and ginger running on the eris? He also apparently had froyo booting on the fascinate as well. And there is no source for the eris for either? Any clarification on this would prove to be very educational for all....
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
It's a nice thought, and one day we might see it. One thing is YES GB as well as FROYO have been seen booting on the Galaxy S phones but they have been GSM based phones not Verizon CDMA phones which have a totally different system writes.
Best bet would be to check on the IRC channels and see whats going on there, and see how things progress, great idea but not anytime in the near future, welcome to Samsung.
Cheers.

I came from the eris to the fascinate, and yeah there are now a ton of eris roms running froyo on the 2.6.29 kernel. And as I understand it, kaos is also working on gingerbread for the eris as well, and has a gb rom running (tho it still has problems). But to get to the point where the eris is at now, as far as it being able to run froyo perfectly with no bugs or glitches, it took a pretty long damn time. Its not nearly as simple as fooling the system into thinking that we're running a 2.6.32 or .35 kernel, unfortunately. There were tons of things that didnt work at first. In fact, almost nothing worked at first. But kaos and the other devs kept at it, and with each new release, they'd fix 1 or more of those things broken. Of course, they had help from a bunch of hero devs that were simultaneously working on getting froyo to work on the cdma hero.
My point is, however, that our devs are already working on this, but right now there are still some huge issues that make the roms/kernels far from ready for public release. But there is no reason to fear, as the devs will continue to do their thing, and even if samsung puts off releasing froyo for another year, I promise you that before too long the devs will have found a way to give us what we want.. namely, froyo and gb!

[Q] Gingerbread on D2

Why is there no cm7 rom or gingerbread rom for the droid 2, it seems theres one for every other device except the droid 2 and droid x, i was just wondering
I am pretty sure that CM7 uses a custom kernel on their roms and as you know D2 and DX are locked up
oh, that sucks for us, but what about gingerbread im so ready to get a custom gingerbread rom...im tired of all these themed 2.2.1 roms
me too! is it just me or do some of these roms slow down on you after a while?
I know some devs don't want to release a gb rom until after moto releases its official gb update
It is my understanding that Gingerbread would require a change in kernal that can't be done due to it's locked bootloader. Though I could be wrong on that.
A bit related, but what about 2.2.2 rom that has all the security fixes?

sorry figured this had to do with development
GB will run just fine on the current kernel, this has already been discussed by devs on this very forum. Also, yes there is a wait for an official GB version from MOTO. Finally, CM7 is almost stable on DX (which can then be easily ported to D2). Blackdroid, from what I hear, has a fully functional GB ROM for DX, which will be ready once he sorts out some boot issues (it only boots once) (again, this will also easily be ported to D2).
The other reason it's taking so damn long is that the phones are locked down, making booting customs ROMs a difficult task in some cases, and a lot of work has to go into getting them stable and fully functional
Sweet!

Where did you here this? CM is pretty open about the fact that they don't develop for Droid 2/X/Pro because of the locked bootloader. The current CM7 ROM is for the OG Droid, not the Droid X.
I too am very curious about where you got the information about a semistable CM7 rom. I don't know if you're posting that just to get everyone excited for something we all thought wasn't possible or if we're (the people who didn't believe it was possible) just behind the times.
Sent from my DROID2 using XDA App
It's been posted on the CM7 developers twitter that he is working on a version to be compatible with the DX.
But it should also be noted that he said it should theoretically work on the D2, but there won't be support because he doesn't have one to test it on.
His twitter name is cvpcs.
Very cool. Some one, or a collective bunch, needs to get that dev a dx and then I bet we would have a nice stable cm7 rom. Mmm, one can dream.

Oh well. I'm seeing what I can do to drop Motorola anyway...that Thunderbolt is looking pretty awesome! I know a few people with it and they're getting 30Mbps+ down & up speeds in the Minneapolis area.
From my understanding, HTC put a locked bootloader on the Thunderbolt as well. I may be wrong though, but if it is the case, that keeps me from going to it.

From what i read, the thunderbolt was locked but wasnt encrypted, so people already managed to crack it. The DX/D2/D2G/DPro all have locked bootloaders that are encrypted with a 1024 bit key, which is damn near impossible to break.

Defy now has MIUI

Yea, so now the Defy has CM7 and MIUI. Again, using 2nd init to run the ROMs. They pretty much have the two best ROMs IMO. If they can do this for the Defy, do you think that once Kholk has his bootloader bypass method all figured out we could also get CM7 and MIUI ported to the Atrix?

Yea, we all know that. But do you think it'l be ported? It takes developers with a lot of time, Korean developers did all the ports for the Defy. I'm not sure if we have Korean developers...lol I'm sure someone will port one or the other, but it could be a while. It takes a ton of work matching CM7 or MIUI to our phones.
Well afaik, if atrix gets officially supported by cm7. Miui will support it
I can't wait for devs to start pouring in here. Hopefully our device will have as much development as much as the Samsung and HTC devices.

I'm not too concerned about cm, unless it's 7, or higher. 6 wasn't particularly great, from what I've heard. And, if you/we can figure out how to bake the call to ticker api into it. A custom kernel, for no other purpose than over clock and custom boot animations would be awesome. That and true scripting ability, instead of having to use init.d as a backdoor. If you decide to work on it, let me know how I can help.

I'm with Tx on this. Surprisingly, I'm content with my phone right now. I would like to change my lock screen, but as far as the ROM, it's running smoothly and I don't think CM6 would be any better of an experience for me. CM7 would be nice, but I've already convinced myself our phone will never get gb so it's no big deal.
I would enjoy changing my boot animation though, so I'm all for a custom kernel! Between you and trailblazer, my phone is now what it should have been when released by Samsung and Verizon. Thanks for all the work!
Cm7 is possible. I used it on my gf (hauwei) phone (begore i400) built up from eclair. I didn't do it but it was accomplished. Buggy though. I would rather have functionality over all the fuss though. I'm still on it

How long does it usually take to build a kernel? Sounds like a great plan.
It would be great to see some updates in kernels. Being able to over or underclock or change boot animation would be fantastic. Last phone was OG droid which was easy as he'll to flash kernels, ROMs, boot animations, and over/underclock. I miss that part of it but don't miss alot of the bugs, and lack of RAM with it. This phone does run much better and am happy with it at this point.

i see in the .config file where the ticker is and screen res. but source is huge and has stupid (not stupid) code names. ours is "garnett". yet in the menu config for kernel there are device options to build for "garnett_delta" and another i can remember off head. we are also in need of a working [initramfs], i found them once in our sources but i have already started from scratch 4 or 5 times. i had one successful compile yet no output. my next attempt will be tonight and since have gotten only a few errors that ive looked into but dont understand.
Update (patch) Kernel
from what i have read i can try and update the kernel itself to a 2.6.32.59
and have read in order to update to a 2.6.35 (GB)+ i would have to downgrade (or start?) from 2.6.32 (linux sources only go back to 2.6.32.25 or something (this option would take me awhile to just read about lol)

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,

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.

Can the D2's CM10 be ported to the DX?
Start there. Don't have the exact link but should lead you where you need to go.

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.
