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,

There are several good ICS roms for DX, but no one has updated Cm9 for a while.

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.

Hey all, I'm running the Team EOS nightly and was wondering if there is any advantage to restoring to stock honeycomb for the official ICS update?
Should I just wait until a rooted ICS version based on the official is released?
It was released already, it's at the top of the development forum...flash with CWM, it's already rooted. From what I understand, it's probably faster for 3D gaming...could be wrong though.
Are there any issues with the official ics? I would do a search but it seems the search function is missing for some strange reason.

I can't think of a single one. I just flashed nightly 26 from 23, booting it now. Loving the EOS builds!
For a while none of the gameloft games were working on EOS.
Could have been fixed by now.

It is, I've got Uno and MC3 on mine and they are working fine.
I decided to load up the official rooted release and so far it's pretty much the same as Team EOS's build. Team EOS does seem to be a bit snappier, and I do miss the reboot options on Team EOS build. The only improvement I see with the official is the camera, that seems to be snappier and more responsive on the official.
Only issue existing on both version is the Revision3 app that just won't load.

I've been running rooted ICS stock for several days now ... installed the leaked RC, then rooted.
Your question about EOS vs. stock gets the standard answer from me - are you happy with EOS and want more features in the future? If so, then stay with EOS.
For me, I'll stay with stock rooted - I just want a tablet that works and not interested in tweaks. I'll spend my tweaking time on my Photon.
There is no objectively right or wrong answer to your question, and nobody else can answer it for you. Enjoy!
Good thread. I was curious as well because knowing verizon (any carrier really) i doubt I'll see ICS anytime jan or feb and i konda want it now...

Actually you don't have to root your Xoom if you just want ICS. I believe there is a stock ICS rom out there too. You will have to unlock the bootloader though.
From my perspective if you are running a rooted stock version of ICS there is virtually not a single reason. Stock isn't overclocked, a lot of enhancements are missing etc. But if you run a completely stock ICS with no root there are some advantages. For example, if you run a non-rooted stock you can rent videos from Google. I can't really think of anything else haha. Go EOS, their ROM is sick.

What benefit does the eos have? No need for OC for me. I actually use the xoom alot during the day and will only jse up mlre battery.
I don't rent videos either so i don't care about that
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
There are a ton of advantages to EOS ROM over Stock. The major one is the micro SD card is read/writable, all voice-to-text features are working as is facelock, the micro USB port is actually useful now, the EOS quick settings are very nice and they all work! There are several battery options from EOS settings and you can make the notification pull look any way you like.
Even if you don't use the performance features this ROM is the only way to Xoom. Until CM9 or Rogue get one out for the 4G

This lol
I remembered when I first got my tab (in short, I traded a laptop, Xbox 360, and games used for a brand new SGT). First thing I did was rooted it via some app. Then I proceeded to install busybox for some reason, then thought "meh I feel like going back to stock" so I just uninstalled busybox (ignoring whatever message it said about not uninstalling it).
Tab didn't reboot, then I panicked and tried flashing something with Odin (not sure what it was, but I ended up trying to fill all the boxes in Odin with some files and then flashing). It failed
Eventually, I then just gave up trying to keep stock and went with Overcome
So I'm pretty lucky to still have my tab lol...
Nowadays, I find it easy to try out different ROM's (I always just restock according to Overcome's GB guide, then proceed to flash a custom ROM and Kernel)
I'd recommend spending some time on Froyo stock for a bit, then eventually trying to update to either stock Gingerbread, or another stable Gingerbread ROM (such as Overcome or Hyperdroid). Then do a bit of research and then try to go to ICS.
Just be careful on what your flashing, always double-check things, and check out people's feedback

I believe the roger's tab uses the GT-P1000 kernel but I'm not sure...do a quick search or ask the guys here.
Oh and btw, HumberOS build is quite outdated compared to the releases from Slim's build which can be found here. This ROM .zip already comes with kernel so it should work just fine on your tab I guess? And don't forget to flash gapps after ROM, but I guess that's pretty obvious judging from the other devices you messed with lol

Welcome!
Just a quick note on flashing the tab. As you already noticed, you should get on Gingerbread bootloaders first. The rest is up to you, all current ROMs for our Tab can be flashed on top of them. Seeing you got over the softbrick with Overcome, you should be home free already.
PS: also make sure your tab is charged at more than 10% before you start flashing or you might not be able to get into recovery or download mode. It may look like a softbrick, but you just need to let it charge...
Peace and happy flashing!

Orion was on Droidrzr.com, but the dev has stopped supporting it so he could focus on Slim. You still might be able to DL it, but don't expect updates. The one you linked is good and gets updated, go ahead and use it. I might also suggest SlimBean and BeanStalk, but AOKP gave me the best battery. I just like the options in the others.

right.
the dev of the AOKP ROM you link (Tim) is excellent, and has done a tremendous amount of work for our community. however, the key difference between Orion AOKP and this AOKP is that the ORION version has some additional tweaks that improve battery life (in addition to aesthetics).
otherwise, you really cannot go wrong with either.
Would anyone have a link? I'd really love to A/B them. Plus I'm getting FC's with Tim's ROM after its finally installed following two previous failed attempts.

Any chance we'll see a build of KitKat for Droid X? It's supposed to support lower-end phones, although I'm not sure if the DX even qualifies for that bottom rung given it's current age.
I read an article today that said KitKat was optimized to be able to run on devices with as little as 512mb ram, so I assume at some point in the future it could definitely run on the Droid X

With all due respect, thats a big leap. This device hasn't even had JB. I just got back online today/tonight since KK's source code release, so i'm playing catch up now, but as far as i know, CM hasn't put out a KK code yet, just Google. I could be wrong with the way I'm looking at this, so if i am, i apologize.

You have a point, I thought they released cm kitkat already... it doesn't seem like a big leap because the 4.0.4 was using only a couple custom files, everything else was cm. Of course I really don't know the challenge because this is my first build.
I forgot about the locked boot loader... no chance unless Motorola s "unlock your device" works.

Do you know of a good(noob friendly) build guide for the DX anywhere? I am in the process of getting a build environment set up and my old DX is basically a spare device at this point. Once I get Ubuntu 13.10 fully set up and know how to build I would like to give 4.4 a try. I am using CM11 on my SGSIII and loving it.

The CM site has the basics on how to set up the build environment. yes, the page is directed at CM7 (the only thing they officially recognize as being supported by CM), but when you go to download the code, its going to be cm-11.0 instead of gb

The CM Droid X website. I'm in the middle of attempting to dl the source code myself for kitkat, but i'm running into an issue (repo related on my laptop, not necessarily CM related). But yeah, if you want, i am more than willing to work with you to help get this thing up and running for the Droid X.

My build environment is all set up. I did a cm11 repo sync last night but haven't attempted a build yet. I might try for the nexus 7 first since that should be easier to start with.

I had a slow connection, but i got the source code downloaded this morning (finally after 2 days). i'll see what i can do tonight. i'll test out the build probably tomorrow, but any help would be greatly appreciated and i of course will help everyone else out on this project.

I'd like to use CM12.1 (marshmallow) but I realize there still are no stable release? Why? Is it not good enough yet?
I've had a pretty bad experience with CM on my old Galaxy S4 so I'm a little afraid to remove the stock recovery and ROM from my Moto X Play. I want to make sure that it's bug free (or as buggy as stock) and suitable for day use. In other words I want to flash it and know it's fully reliable. Given the fact that there are only nightly releases, are they reliable enough for this?
Thanks

I can't vouch for the latest releases, as my xplay has been broken for like 3 months now, but being a nightly doesn't inherently make it unstable. Stable builds are usually relabeled nightlies. I say give it a shot. You can always go back to stock if you don't like it, unless you're speaking about voiding warranty

Oh! I thought nightlies were unstable releases. So before yours broke, you had a good experience? No problem with camera or other stuff?
It's not really a question of warranty but rather just not having any issues when I need it to work. For instance, with my Galaxy S4, the camera kept crashing while I was out with my kids so I lost time trying to make it work when I wanted to take a picture. That's the kind of thing I wouldn't want happening just because I got another ROM.
Indeed I did (have a good experience). If you're every unsure of a nightly, head to the thread. You'll usually find one or several people commenting if it's no good.

Yeah I had a look (I just realized I was talking about CM13 not 12.1) but given there are now 205 pages I thought I'd ask about the nightly situation in a different thread.
I think I may try it and restore it from the ROM available in the forum.
Oh and I keep wondering, given Motorola never actually released the ROM, how can someone make it available?
I m using nightly for like 3 months ......and I can say nightly is far better than stock if you are looking for customization and speed. I recently tried to go back to stock 6.0.1 but that experience is so "LAGGY" that I again return back to CM.I can say that CM nightly build working best for me with my requirements(like gaming and also photography and editing and HEAVY Customization and many more ) . and about custom recovery,it's a must have tool I suggest as with that I can return back to my previous builds. SO i recommend to go for NEW CM build,but in the end it's upto you.
and if u r still fearing about NIGHTLIES then flash the custom recovery(twrp) and then make backup of whole stock system and then do whatever U want to.
Btw this is the wrong forum to discuss things

Is it? I apologize then. Even if I want to talk about CM I should use the General Help forum?
