I appreciate you're new here and we welcome newcomers, but please do not give new threads titles like "Please read". Always give a brief/concise indication of the problem - this helps when people are doing searches later. Also all threads have equal priority and if we think we can help by looking at the thread title then we will open it, so pleading does not encourage us to look. In fact it can turn some folks off.
This forum has two search facilities one on the brown bar near the top of the page and a different type in the Google Search sticky post.
Here endeth the lesson
Go forth read, learn and enjoy.
Mike
Thanks for the lecture Mike ....well understood.
Can I please get an answer now?... I have a feeling it can be done I just want to know for sure.
Thanks ya'll
dude, if you click the word "here" in my post it will take you to the answer. also, if you click on the secret in my signature it will take you to the same answer. we all try to be self-sufficient around here, so Im not trying to be a jerk. if we spoon feed you the easy stuff you will never develop into the 'contributing' member that we all hope to be around here.
Apparently Mike's lecture wasn't 'well understood' because if it was then a very simple search would have provided you with all the answers you need.
So in answer to your question - yes you can.
Now I know your next question is going to be 'How' - the answer to that one is mrvanx's guide.
We've all been guilty of being new and also of flaming noobs, but when you've read a few threads you'll realise everyone's frustration at seeing this type of question again and again and again..... Also, I know the XDA search function isn't always good, but just by reading Mike's sticky, third from the top on this page, you'd have found a better way of searching.
Go on, don't be shy, and try it now http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298893 it's amazing what you can find...

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
"hey guys,
Sorry to be a pita(pain-in-the-a**), I just wanted to make a positive contribution to the forum, and help keep the forums clean and tidy.
For the new guys joining this forum, it can be a lonely, confusing place. So I thought you might appreciate some guidelines/pointers before you make your first post:
This section that you are in now, is the General Section, it's for posting information and making observations.
We have a separate section for questions, appropriately named the Q&A Section, which is the place to post questions/queries if you need help, and time is of the essence.
There's an Accessories Section, where you can post about screen protectors/docks/cables, etc for your Tab
Its important to remember, that the Development section is for developers only. You can make a comment on the threads that are posted by Devs, but unless you are a developer, you should NOT be posting threads in the development section, EVER.
Finally, there is a Themes and Apps Section, where you can find/post information about different applications or wallpapers/themes for your phone.
The reason I'm posting this is because I know what it's like to be a 'noob'.
Don't be insulted by that term.
Everyone was a noob once.
But by reading the threads(especially the stickies) and using the Search function effectively (Did you know you can narrow the search down to a single section in the forum?) you can help educate yourself, and avoid duplicate threads where the same info/question is posted more than once. Which increases the chances of the relevant information being more easily accessible to the people looking for it.
So guys, please use the search function, chances are, the question you have, or the information you seek has already been asked or posted before. Else people are likely going to post this in your thread.

Don't get me wrong, I know this thread is a good idea, but I genuinely have trouble reading/understanding what k0sh says. Or why someone that thinks he's wasting his time should still appreciate it.
I don't think this will get through to people though. Especially with that title.
Hello,
Would you just cut him some slack? Pretty please?
His english isn't so good because that's not his first language. Malaysian english is horrid, but it's not their fault, visit the place and you will understand.
He is trying to raise awareness of posting correctly in the right section, so I guess at least he has good intention. Although this has been done in the sticky and almost everywhere else.
If you don't like his post, isn't sometimes silence is gold?
Sometimes the harsh response for a post in the wrong section is just crazy in this forum. The harsh response seemed like venting out frustration on an ignorant noob.
In the interest of keeping the peace, I took the liberty to rewrite kosh's post. (kosh, feel free to use it if you want). I tried to keep it close to your own words. I also just added in info about the accessories and themes/apps sections.Hope you don't mind.

Lol... I'd take offence too, if anyone would measure the standards of Malaysian English by k0sh's postings.... what with me being a true-blue Malaysian, born-and-bred. ;-)
True, thanks to the wonderful efforts of our government (I won't go into the corny joke of how oxymoronic our government intelligence is...) the standards may be declining, but it's nowhere near what would be termed "horrid", and sure, we'll have our versions of hillbillies and rednecks (referred affectionately, though politically incorrectly as "jakuns"...) who'd mangle the language to no end... but it'll be quite rare for an English-speaking person to not be able to hold a decent conversation with any Malaysian in the Queen's language here, except of course, you run into the people I've just alluded to... ;-)
Anyway, the idea and intent behind this thread is noble, and to be honest k0sh was just trying to help. Yes, the execution may be a tad flawed, so instead of just harping on him or his standards of English (true, his penchant for "txt-spk" doesn't help matters either)... let's just do what stoney has done, and help each other...
@k0sh... you might wanna change your topic title though, as it's incredibly misleading. Maybe you're trying to have an eye-catching title, but it didn't work, so a change in the title might be warranted. Say, something more straightforward like: "Read this before you post...." or something to that effect, perhaps?
Have fun and be nice...
