I found a deal for like $40 for a Droid x n if u guys look at my past projects i want to contribute to this forum so got 2 questions
1. For the ics roms(cm9 or gummy mainly) are kernels flashed with them.
2. Main issues with ICS roms
Thanks to anyone who replies
----------------------------------------------
If helped don't be afraid to hit the thanks button it doesn't bite lol
No kernels are flashed whatsoever due to the Droid X's locked boot loader.
For more information on ICS and Jelly Bean, check over on Rootzwiki.

Hi, there, guys!
A friend of mine gave me yesterday an Atrix 4G. I would like to unlock its bootloader, root it and hopefully install the best available rom for it.
But the thing is that I can't find where to start from
There are a lot of threads regarding what I want (I've been reading through the forums for the last two hours) but I am still at a dead end..
My main problem is that most of the topics are about 2.3.4 android version or AT&T Atrix models. Plus, most of the links are dead...
The Atrix I have now is android version 2.2.2 and System Version writes: Version.4.4.20.MB860.Retail.en.GB
As I said I would like to test it with custom roms, but for starters, I would be glad if someone could point me to a way to simply upgrade to 2.3.4 (I don't care for now for unlocked bootloader or root - just want to see how it is in 2.3.4, perhaps perform a backup and afterwards try my luck with custom roms..)
For the record, I tried Motorola Software Update and reported that I am using the latest version..
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer
P.S.: Shame on me - wanted to post is Q&A forum.. Sorry for that - please move if necessary!!
Check out Swiftks guide that's a sticky in this forum.

Hello, and thanks for your help... I think I am getting somewhere...
I followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423 to unlock my bootloader and then I followed Swiftks guide you pointed me at and downloaded CM7.
Now I am about to follow Swiftks CyaogenMod Install Guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19986512&post=234) and I hope I will succeed..
I will report the result - thanks a lot again!
He knows his stuff so following his guide should work out well for you, happy flashing!

Well, yes, indeed!!!
My Atrix now has unlocked bootloader, is rooted and has CyanogenMod!!!
I am very happy! Managed to do much more than I had expected!!!
Next on the list is my SE arc...

Did that same thing a few weeks ago. It's much better on this side. CM7 is awesome!

Try the update first, go into settings, about phone and there you'll be able o get an OTA update.
Had already tried OTA - no joy..
Anyways, I've been using the Atrix since Friday and the thing is a real beast after everything I've installed.
I never close any apps - on purpose - I only "minimize" them pressing the home button. It always has around 500MB of free RAM. The thing is a speeding bullet..lol
I only wish it had a more "standard" screen resolution (some apps don't work full screen) and a better camera (it is good but not as good as the arc's)
Look into either 1080p camera on Olympus or for droid3 camera in the ATRIX forums that should give you the outstanding camera you are looking for and remember the ATRIX is VERY powerful and our devs are the best around B-) with their help and our hardware we can make the ATRIX just as good and usually better in any field compared to another phone >.<
Hit thanks if you found this useful

if you want good and fast rom you should try a Cm9 it's great almost stable ,and very quick . ( quicker than cm7 for sure ) i did not have any battery drying
go for CM9 and enjoy that ICS goodness =)
Which CM9 release are you referring to?
I have found:
[ROM] CM9 a multidevice collaboration by multiple devs
[ROM] Atrix CM9 [ADT's SelfKANGish builds]
[Kang] *Unofficial* CM9 and CM7 Kangs/ROMs
Is it any of these ?

I've ran the top 2 you referred to and both run great other than the known issues. My phone has better luck running the ATRIX cm9 [Ad's SelfKangish builds] not sure why but your experience may be different. Both roms are fantastic and are being updated frequently.

OK, thanks a lot!

I'm running the first one and I am amazed how stable it is. Going on three days and I don't plan on going back to cm7. So far the only thing I'm not liking is wifi speeds are not what they should be.

I saw this posted a couple times in the development threads. Everything except the Ramdisk is easy, Once I tried to implement that it got a little confusing to me.
I know the droid x is a dead phone, but can a developer, or would a developer make a jellybean rom for the droid x. i would be all out to test everything out. i would appriciate it
Please don't post questions in the development section.
Developers over at Rootzwiki are working on porting Jelly Bean over to the Droid X.

oh sorry and can you post a link to the thread
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/29434-jelly-bean/page__st__80
As mentioned above, please don't post questions in Development forums - post them in Q&A (or General if there is no device-specific Q&A), if they've not already been asked.
Thread moved.

There is actually a couple JB roms in the works. We started a new repo for JB last night and have started merging items in.. nothing new to respond to about it but it will happen
Can't wait
I was wondering if someone could help me out real quick.
Because of the current bugs, No gapps, and missing features of the KitKat CM11 build, I was wondering if its still possible to find the latest CM9 build files still?
CM9 Just seems to be much closer to fully working version with no bugs then CM11 at this point. I am going to flash my old DX with the spider cracked screen this weekend with 11 to test it out.
But in the mean time i would like to flash my new DX (new refurb) i got few days ago with CM9.
So far i found alot of dead links and confusion about which version is official CM9. I found some modded versions but not really interested in them.
Unless you guys think CM11 is at a point where the current bugs arent that big of a deal. I would love some feedback/opinions on this.
Thank you in advance,
FryMan

There are several good ICS roms for DX, but no one has updated Cm9 for a while.
I like Liquid ICS 2.0, but several other links in my list under roms

Correct, CDMA / Camera / Senors ( in that order )
So i went ahead and flashed LiquidICS V2.1 and let me say, what a awesome rom, So far i have used MIUI Gingerbread
Now i have a small problem and i dont know who to ask.
I have 2 wall chargers and 2 USB chargers, when i try to plug the phone in, It will either not charge, until I wiggle the power cable. Does it on all 4 cables. Phone is a new factory refurb from amazon got is couple days ago.
If i take a PIN And try to move the black center piece back and forth it moves, and my other phone it does not, I have to push the charger up for it to charge.
And once the battery stops charging, I can wiggle/move it all i want, But it wont charge again till i fully remove and put the plug back in.
Any Ideas?
if it does that on both stock and custom roms, it is likely bad charging port, return it, if that is still an option.
if your not sure about stock, reflash firmware/sbf.

So as the kernel etc for the Moto X Play has just been released, are they any developers that are planning to port CyanogenMod over to the Moto X Play? I was thinking about learning some basic programming and having a go at it myself but I was just wondering if it was worth it, and if there are any other developers working on a port, when abouts would it be completed?
Thanks
A little reading of the TWRP thread and the kernel thread shows they are already working on a cm12 port. It boots but has a few issues they are working on ironing out before they release it.
Oh great, thanks! What threads should it be posted on on release, or will it be available on the main cyanogemod website after release?
It will be an unofficial port so it will be available here only most likely. And I imagine it will be posted as a new thread in the original android development thread.
Also its a bit rude to ask for a time scale. They guys don't get paid for this they just do it.
