So how similar are the Moto Droid and Nexus ?
Will the same ROMs work on each ?
Does Cyanogen's Nexux projects work on the Moto Droid ?
No lol
HTC and Motorola are two completely different companues, meaning their products are different to.
The only similarity between the nexus and the Droid is that they both have android..lol
no rom will work for both if them, because they both gave different framework and etc
Glad you got a laugh.
But people are using Nexus to cook Droid Roms.
Just wondering.

Some devs are using Nexus ROM dumps to cook their own Droid ROMs. But the phones both have different frameworks and drivers, etc. Using ROM dumps from one phone on another doesn't automatically mean there's compatibility.
Just wondering Will their be a Moto Milestone Section as im in UK and Droid phones would not work here
put this here becaese the phones are almost identical Thanks
oh and also do you think the milestone will get root because of motorola's locked bootloader and would it be possible to use a similar way to root like with the Milestone1 and it's locked bootloader
Thanks
.
The root used on the droid 2 should apply, unless google/moto patches it, cause its a hole in FroYo itself

haha thanks hopefully
The milestone has a encrypted and locked bootloader similiar if not exactly the same as the droid x. How is the milestone capable of running cyanogenmod and we cant on the dx? If anyone was ever capable of porting over cyanogenmod to the dx how difficult would it be to make the hdmi port work like it does on the htc evo?

The custom kernel will not allow full development for the droid x. But there is a dev I think porting Cyanogenmod to the dx using the stock kernel.
That dev is cvpcs and you can follow his work at his blog at http://cvpcs.org and on twitter at @cvpcs. The project name is CM4DX.
thanx for the clearification

I'm curious about MIUI as well. Somehow the Milestone has MIUI but not the droid x? Doesn't surprise me but I'm slightly jealous to say the least...
Here is something for you guys

Hi!
I would post the in the developer section, but XDA won't let me. I have a used Droid 2 that is in generally good condition except for part of the touch screen that doesn't work. I was wondering if there was a developer working on getting ICS running on the Droid 2 / Droid X that needs a phone to work with. If so, I might be able to send it.
I've been developing ics for the d2 for a while now. A separate d2 for development would be great.

Hello guys.
I saw on the front page that someone had ported Jellybean to the X2. My question is, do you think some talented developer could port JB to the original X? JB on the X would be amazing and it doesn't seem that hard to do considering its already on the X2! I know they have different CPUs and GPUs, but would it be that hard to do?
Thanks,
wws12

C'mon guys, this would be awesome!
xx13thangelxx commented about this on RootzWiki. He said he owns both devices, and a simple port wouldn't work. Hardware is way different. DX is single core omap, while DX2 is dual tegra2, a simple port just won't work. If someone were to get it up and running on a Droid 2, which has the same hardware basically as the DX, a port would be feasible.
Ah but they have! It's for the Milestone 2 which is the GSM version of the D2.

Since there is a build for the d2, any chance this will come to fruition?

Most new development and a lot of old development has ceased on the Droid X as many devs have moved on to bigger and better things (mostly shinier toys). Unfortunately I don't think our kernel can support a lot of the functions and to be honest, even if we came up with a 2nd Init JB for our DX, it would be even worse on battery life than the various ICS builds due to the fact that we cannot run custom kernels and the like to actually empower the hardware we have.
As far as JB goes, there's not a lot of real difference between it and ICS except a few different APIs and a bit of polishing as far as I'm aware, but again, we can't see the true benefit of these changes without a proper kernel and modules due to the locked down bootloaders forced upon us.
Unfortunately I'll also agree that most devs have moved on to other projects/devices. It's the nature of having to deal with a locked device and the fact that it's now been over 2 years since the DX was released. As a former DX owner, the SGS3 came out right as my contract was up so it made since to go to the next awesome thing.
I think p3droid and crew went to the bionic pretty early after it came out. I haven't really kept up with that bunch since they stopped releasing things for the DX. Also, cvcps is now the maintainer for the Cm10 builds of the SGS3.
When there was the big to do over the using of kexec to get around the kernel limitations I checked to see if someone would pick that up on the DX. Turns out that someone had, but the project was abandoned due to the difficulty of creating the various drivers needed. I had really hoped that the project would succeed so that my old DX would be useful into the future. However, it's now just a voip phone in my house.

There are still a few devs out here keeping up the DX's development. Nightly builds of CM7 for the DX are still being released almost daily. I know Wizard0f0s will be releasing an updated verison of his MIUI build any day now. CM9 builds periodically also seem to be leaking out. I wouldnt' be surprised to see a CM10 port from the Droid 2's alpha build making its way to the DX in the next few months. Not all hope is lost Give it time.
I'm happy with Gummy 1.20. Really it's too bad they killed it. Best ROM for the DX imo.
JB now works on D2 so yes, there are plans to port that to the X.

Start there. Don't have the exact link but should lead you where you need to go.

I second this!
From what I understand, Droid 2 ROM's work well on the Droid X with minimal re-configuration.
So please, please help the many users who are still holding on to their beloved Droid X's!
I purchased a Droid X and a 3800mah battery (china-style, but works great, 2+ days of battery life) for a total of 68 bucks from ebay a few months ago, and now I have Page Plus for 30 dollars a month (this and other phones work with no modding on their network).
Porting this ROM to the X would make my "just-like-verizon-but-way-cheaper" experience complete! THANK YOU SO MUCH AHEAD OF TIME. I WILL DONATE!!!
Lol give it some time. Like I said the dev is planning to move it over.to the X.

In the mean time gummy 1.20 has been updated to include HWA. It was tweeted out about a month ago by 13th angel.
I'm running it now and am very happy with the HWA upgrade. Battery life takes a bit of a hit but you can recover it with pimp my rom.
The Milestone 2 has received a JB port so it's now feasible to think that this could be installed on an DX. One problem though, the M2 is a GSM phone while the DX is a CDMA one. Is it easy to change it from wanting a GSM radio to using a CDMA one? Here's the link if anyone is interested.
