I thought I posted this before but I think the whole raid controller thing happened and it got erased so I'll ask again. I asked in the Q&A section and was told to ask here so here it is. I was wondering if there is any way possible to port the Droid X rom over to our HD2? I absolutely love a lot of features in that rom including the gallery and the scrollable widgets. I have the Droid X dump, just have no idea what to do with it. I figure the screen resolution should be just about perfect for our phones too as the screen size is almost the same. Please help if you can. Thank you.
BTW. here is a link to the Droid X dump incase anyone wants to give it a go. http://www.multiupload.com/PPR6UW10H6
Just make a screenshot of the droid x build,print it out,put it as a sticker on the hd2 : problem solves,droid x on the hd 2...
Thanks for the help, I asked in the Q and A section they told me to ask here, I searched the android development forum before posting it again but didn't see the other one I did and thought it might have gotten deleted when the raid controller problem was going on and I never got to see if anyone replied before that. Forgive me for asking questions I will not do it again. Thank you again for your speedy replies and again I am sorry for asking if there was a possibilty of something.

It's cool, people on XDA can get pretty snippy sometimes. If you notice, A LOT of people are posting non "development" type stuff in the "development" subforum, like random questions about screen freezes and stuff.
This subforum is for kernels, ROMs, builds, and stuff. Questions like this would be posted in the "Android on HD2 General" subforum.
I would also like to see a Droid X ROM, but don't know how to port a raw dump to a stable HD2 ROM, what I would do is upload the dump and link it in a thread, and then maybe some developer looking for a challenge will take on the task.

first Id like to say I really like how you handled this.
Secondly isnt the droid x software just motoblur? if so then there did motoblur roms a while back for the g1 which we called esspresso.
maybe one of those roms can be ported even though it isnt froyo.

Thanks.
Well you have a point, but I think they may have incorporated a "newer" version of motoblur that takes advantage of the more features of the phone, and maybe more widgets. I wouldn't know exactly though. And honestly at this point you gotta do Froyo if you're going to cook an HD2 rom.
I don't know a lot about the Droid X to be honest (although I use that NFL app that was ported on my MIUI rom on my HD2).
Thank you all for your support and replies. I am sorry for posting in the wrong section, I never intended it to be such a harmful post or get people all up in arms about anything. I just want to learn, I am pretty good with coding certain things like any web language and some linux/unix stuff but I don't know if I'm advanced enough to take on a task like this. I can however design anything anyone could need. If I can help in anyway with anything I would love to. Here is the system dump from the Droid X if anyone wants to take it on http://www.multiupload.com/PPR6UW10H6 . Like I said if I can help in any way feel free to tell me what to do and I'm on it. Thank you all again.
Where is the link to the Dump?
I wouldn't mind giving this a shot at porting, I have nothing else to do anyways.

Yeah no problem dude, you should edit your orginal post and put the download link in the main post just so any other developer could see it and possibly rename the post to "Droid X Dump" it could be helpful.
yes please let's stop the senseless bickering and let whomever wants to try a port have at it without all this garbage in the way. If you guys want to bicker some more maybe PM or Palringo or something?
@ OP & CrazyEye,
Maybe CrazyEye should start a new thread on this, because you are going to want to edit your OP with new builds and kernels and stuff as you get more done.
Thread cleaned, and moved to general section.
@everyone... Please stop the flaming and please post helpful things, and if anyone violates the rules, please report the post.
Ive tried porting it. I have compiled the ext2 file and booted it, but it is simply starting the white HTC screen then restarting.
If sombody could provide the orgional system.img file I will try from that instead!
Im not sure how to get the original system.img file. If you can instruct me how to get it I will and hopefully that will work. Thank you

well i hadn't read it until he posted it.
so thanks.
yep, my first post here. I fell this post doiesn't belong here, but due to forum restrictions I can't post in the correct forum (yet). So please take my apologies...
Just found this brilliant Virtous G-Lite Rom which appears to turn mir Desire Z into exactly what I bought it for in the first place. Unfortunately the ROM isn't supporting my hardware keyboard (no ä, ö, ü, ß not even ? can be typed here). I've literally been through all 40 pages of the ROM's thread and found a few posts addressing the same issue. However, there's no truly satisfying answer. I tried various additional keyboard setting apps but they didn't help at all with the physical keyboard.
So my only question is: will this ever be addressed at all or should I better give up and stick to CM7 or MIUI or even my stock ROM?
Any help is welcome, and if someone could try to transfer this question into the correct forum, I'd be a happy person.
welcome.
and your best bet is to start contributing to the forum and when you can get into the OS Dev forums, you can post your question there. Considering that you actually went through and read the whole thread and couldn't find anything, it is definitely grounds to post a question.
The biggest rule of thumb here (atleast from my experience) is SEARCH first then ask if you can't find anything. (Searching includes searching the thread itself, searching the subforum, and all that).
I can tell you though that since you're talking Virtuous, then Do a quick search in RMK40's other threads. He also does Virtuous Unity, 1.02, and a one more (can't remember). search those forums and see if anyone is running in your problem as well. I hope that helps.
thx

that's the duisturbing part: my prob doesn't seem to apply to all of rmk40's roms, so it must be in this specific one.
anyways I'll keep an eye on it
Well, another alternative here is go to www.virtuousrom.com and go to the chat room and ask for help there. you might get faster help if those who are there are paying attention to the chat.

You're right. Very old news, but thanks for posting and not using the search function.
Actually, I did / always do a search...
..and when I posted the new topic, it ALSO does a search for you to list similar topics but nothing came up there either...SO...
Erring on the side of wanting to help I posted anyway...
Sorry to have taken up so much of your precious time and I promise to do my best not to help as much as possible again...

I guess "help" is a relative word then. Clogging up forums with topics that have already been posted time, and time again is not "help" as fast as most people are concerned.
When searching remember that there are more than one sub-forums for the A500 that you can search at the same time.

Meh, just blow it off. If you think this section is bad, be glad that you didn't post something in the Moto Atrix forum. It's even worse over there.
Seems like this site gets more and more full of users on one month old accounts with 1000 posts posting non-helpful replies. Who gives a **** if it was already posted? Why didn't you just stay out of the thread since you already knew this?
Letting it go...
yup...yes I am...No worries. If I didn't want to get verbally assaulted every once in a blue moon, I wouldn't post
...but on the off chance someone didn't see it and it could help...I'll take the chance Every Time...and even when I do know how to search and use search quite a lot, Every Once in a while search does not turn up the exact phrase or wording or whatever. Sooo...
ANYWAY...
Letting go while knowing that 99.9999 percent of the people here Really Do want to help...
At least I'm not asking about root for 3.2 right?

posting to this,saying its already posted is as bad if not worse then the thread itself as far as spam goes.
Oops I just did it too.
Sorry my friends seeing you bicker over this makes me cry.

And for you my friend, this is the exact reason for the multiple messages about the same thing, cluttering up these forums, quit babying these new users and help to encourage searching the threads.

Please go back and read the forum rules.
When searching for answers and reading information (especially ones that are as easy to find as the OP's), people gain invaluable information about their issue and device in General. It IS part of the XDA rules to do so for a reason. People should know how to use the search function and be willing to read / research some BEFORE posting in the Q & A section. Q & A is not a substitute for doing so. And, pointing people in the correct direction (giving successful search terms or correct sub forums) allows people to find a lot more information than giving them a short half-answer that is no substitute for the many threads full of information that already exists. Linking people to all-in-one threads or hard to find obscure information is different, but all other cases should use search and read tactics first.
