Just purchased a dx off of swappa.com because my incredibles screen is shattered. Its gonna be my temporary phone until I can get the incredible repaired.

Welcome to the DX family. If you're into custom roms I would suggest the Liberty 3 v2.0 rom. We don't have a whole lot of full functioning ICS roms available yet (camera driver issues) but they might be coming.

Thanks, I was debating between keeping it stock or flashing liberty. With my history of bricking motos I think ill keep it stock.

It is impossible to brick a Droid X.
As long as your system version is not .621 you can root and flash any Gingerbread or ICS rom.
If your system version is .621 rooting and returning to an earlier build are impossible.

Yeah it's impossible to brick the droid x for the most part. Easy to soft brick but you can always sbf back. I've had great luck with all my motorola devices.
I've been using MIUI 2.2.5 for DX for the last few weeks. It's built off Gingerbread, but themed to ICS. It has full camera support and has been very stable for me.
Can anyone gtalk with me? I have a BUNCH of questions and don't wanna clog general. [email protected]

Is it possible this will be ported to the DroidX? I will only have mine for a little longer but was still curious.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I believe CM7 is a full rom, as in not unless the bootloader is defeated. So, id say, possible, but thats if they can figure out how to load kernels.
the milestone has a lock bootloader and it just recently got cm6 so hopefully someone can port it over to the x
There's been talk of CM coming to the X ever since the X came out. It hasn't happened yet, and chances are it won't happen anytime soon.
Me and another developer are going to work on this. CM7 can't be done until a Moto kernel update but CM6 can be done.

That would be sweet (cm7 & bypassing bootloader), this is why my next phone will have an unlocked or already defeated boot loader.

I started porting it a few days ago. Matt's going to be joining me
It likely will not be fully supported by Team Douche (The CyanogenMod team) since the ramdisk can't be edited due to the locked bootloader, but it's still very possible to have CM6 on the DX.

CM7 is based on Gingerbread, in which Gingerbread updates to the 2.6.35 version Linux based kernel. CM6 is Froyo based, which uses the 2.6.32 kernel that we currently have.
To add on to Derek, once Motorola updates our phones to Gingerbread, and gives us the needed .35 kernel, then GB should be posible.

According to Droid Life, kexec is getting ready for a release which could in fact bypass the bootloader and make CM7 possible?

The kexec hack basically allows for piggybacking another kernel onto the stock kernel.. and there has been huge progress made in that arena.
Unfortunately, there are a ton of remaining unsolved issues with this work-around, including:
--Stability.
--Once running another kernel, for drivers to work (including the radio which means 3g and phone functionality), those modules will need to be reverse engineered and ported over to the other kernel...
--etc.
So, while progress is being made... it's more likely that any work done on the X getting "around" the locked bootloader will be used to continue this work on future Moto hardware such as the bionic.. but it's not likely we're going to be seeing full ROMs running on the X for daily use any time soon...

So is the radio included in the ROM? Will we need to flash a froyo radio?
And what's else is included in it?

You don't want to flash that unless you're unrooted, it's signed and a full RUU. Be patient and wait until someone can hack at it. It's only downloading at 50KB/s @ ~400mb.
If you don't know, don't flash it. Leave it for the Devs to look at it and tinker with it.
so this is a new froyo radio?
It's the OTA ROM. It's really here for the Devs. Football releases the RUU. Devs use it as a base for there custom Roms. We download the custom Roms. It's a cycle.
I wish XDA would start creating torrents for things. Far easier to deal with and much faster. Plus, no need for server space.

If you read through the drama filled GB rumor threads in the general section (I don't recommend since there's better uses of time), the only people that think GB is coming by the end of the month are those that want to believe a rumor started by one blog and then relinked to all the other android blogs.
This is most likely just the final update to MR2 that will be the next OTA for froyo that HTC said they were going to fix up before moving onto GB for the TB.
The radio version number is older no? Unless I'm reading the file name wrong...

Hi all, my mom will be getting a new Droid 2 soon that she'll be using on a page plus prepaid plan and I just have a few questions. I know that there is a lot of information here of the forums but things change so often with development that I think I'll get a better answer if I just ask you experinced guys directly.
I'm just looking for the most stable ROM for her, and the best battery life. It doesn't have to be the newest and greatest, it just has to work when she needs it so that she doesn't get irritated with it.
Thanks in advance.
Just stick with stock if she's inexperienced.

It came today and it had 2.2, I think i'll update it to 2.3 though.
It works for the 95% of the users who don't get pissed off enough to come here and change it
.sbf to the second-to latest firmware. If you OTA, you'll end up with the latest, un-rootable update, making any future development impossible.

On your question about most stable Roms, Galnet MIUI 2.2.10 was the best I've used as far as being issueless. Just behind that would be CM9.
If you do decide to flash MIUI you'll probably want to install a different launcher for her as well if she's used to Android and not looking for a change. Otherwise just let her run with it and see how she likes it.
Here ya go guys, come gram 'em.
These are the CDMA/LTE radios for ICS on the Thunderbolt.
You need these to run any ICS rom for the Thunderbolt which uses the Official base.

Im a noob. I don't know these things, thats why I ask. =)
I just loaded these up, so far so good.
I don't have access to 4G in the building I'm in, but I seem to be pulling 3G just fine. Despite this, twisted's rom is reporting 1x now... weird. I'm sure it's just being reported wrong, as the speeds are as good (or better) than usual.
EDIT: after a (self-performed) reboot or two, the signal indicators are now being reported properly.
Thanks. Installed on ICY-S 8.5RC4 by MaceksMod. :good:
Only ever get 2 bars on LTE at my house and hitting 6Mbps with Speedtest app.

Not really "AOSP desensed" as that implies that you are removing Sense and coming out with an AOSP ROM. AOSP, yes, but not desensed. But yeah, I'd love to see what happens with it on AOSP myself, even though I just switched off my TB.
