1. What is SBF?
2. Anyone facing lag issues with this phone?
3. What is your quadrant score? I got 2700
4. Any speed tips? Its a dual core yet it seems my Samsung Fascinate was faster???
5. How do I disable moto blur? I'm using GoDev Launcher instead. I heard motoblur is a memory hog
An SBF file is a file to restore your phone if something goes wrong. But we don't have one right now, so if it breaks it breaks. You can use gingerbreak to root it and freeze MOTOBLUR crap to make it a lot faster.

I rooted it already with gingerbreak, but how do I freeze motoblur?
Another problem I'm having is when I install something in market and press home, the download pauses in status bar, until I click on the app and return to its market page, then it'll redownload again.
Bug?
Would appreciate help here please.
Thanks
Sorry no clue on your market issue I haven't heard of that one before and as far as blur goes... you can't really freeze blur.. its motorolas touchwiz (saw you came from a fascinate) but nitro is also from the fascinate and he wrote a great thread here on what's safe to freeze to clean the phones up a little bit. =) sorry on my phone so I can't link it but the title is "getting started with the X2" thread.
This should answer most of your questions on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104680

For some reason when downloading an app from the Market, the app will keep re-downloading if i exit the Market. The only way i can download anything is to keep the market open to allow it to fully download and install.
Anyone else have this issue? is it because of the V6 supercharger script?
I do not use a task killer at all.
Happens constantly. Extremely annoying. I also can't download and install .apks directly from my phone no matter what. The ONLY way I can do it is by connecting to my computer. Then that creates a new USB issue all together.
General rant. Sorry. This thing needs a custom ROM like a fat kid needs cake.
Couldn't agree more with that last statement, I occasionally get the same issue with the .apks bit it's not constant.

You can't install .apks from your phone's SDCard because you have "Unknown Sources" unchecked in your application settings menu.
I also have the problem where quitting the market application will cancel downloads, but it doesn't do that whenever I "minimize" it, if you will, only whenever I force quit it.
Is this what you're talking about or am I misunderstanding?
I believe it's from minimizing it as well. Also unknown sources is selected on my device I believe the only reason I've had any lock ups in installing .asks is due to an occasional glitch in Dolphin, also how does one properly minimize an application?

By hitting the home button. If you'd like to continue where you left off after minimizing an app hold the home button down until recent apps pops up.

That's a mighty big assumption that I have it unchecked. It is checked. This isn't my first rodeo pal, I know what I'm doing.

Must be one of those beautiful software glitches, not too gamebreaking though. I still love this phone.

Issues with downloading apks
I've had some issues with unsuccessful downloads of apks. I've been tweaking 7 different x2 and the issues seem completely random. I've saved all the apks to a folder on the comp, so now I just drag and drop them in. Installing hasn't been a problem though. I was wondering if I should try the new market update or stick with what I have. Haven't really noticed an issue with it, on any of them.

Anyone here a fan of Catan? Bought the app and have a problem with it rebooting my phone every 20 minutes of play or so. Emailed the dev team only to get a response telling me to use a task killer to free up memory and included a link that says why Android doesn't need task killers. I find this kind of answer unacceptable as my wife's fascinate runs the game fine. Maybe there's a memory leak in the x2? I refuse to run task killers since they are not needed.
*Update 11/24
Attempted to use the V6 SuperCharger script to manage the memory better and lock the app into memory etc. It was a no go. Going to call the customer service after the holiday and see where that goes. I'll keep this posted when I find something.

So, I flashed Eclipse 1.3...still rebooted after ~20 minutes of play. What I can't determine is if the X2 has a memory leak or can't manage apps good enough, or if the catan app is bad. Problem is, it works fine in the fascinate and other apps work fine on the X2 so which one is broken....one of them has to be

be sure to make a nandroid first just in case. usually everything is just fine. but just in case u bootloop u will want to restore.
I recommend V6supercharger update8 to be safe. the newer versions are great but if u never used it b4 u r gonna want to use the "basic" version first to get used to it. and all the newer ones are just RC'S anyway(release candidate) they are not finals like update 8 was.
I ended up getting update9 rc4...having dome issues, but hopefully will get worked out. Issues:
1. From terminal emulator I get either permission denied (after an su) or file not found (spelled correctly in the correct directory)
2. From root file manager it seems to take over 10 minutes to run? It does add a supercharger folder and HTML file, but this seems like a long time for a script. (Hopefully I'm wrong and it's installing stuff too making it take longer)
3. Dled romtoolbox and added the script. It ran...but apparently I didn't copy the whole thing. I'll try that again if this pass of #2 above doesn't work.
Question: how do I know it is installed, and will the changes be there after every boot? I haven't needed to run scripts before this phone. Thanks.

sorry I should have specified.
get script manager from market and run it using that.
be sure to check run as root.
before running it u are going to want to go into script manager settings and turn off the "extra gestures " setting so u are able to scroll correctly. and u also want to turn on browse as root.
if u made a nandroid before running what u did I would restore that then do these things to be sure u have a clean install.
then after u reboot just run supercharger script again and it will tell u if it is installed and running correctly.
script manager has a free and a paid version in market.
that is the tool u want to use to run the script trust me. it makes it very easy
oh and by the way...since eclipse has init.d support there will be no reason to use script manager to run anything at boot. it will run every time.
if u happen to use one of the options to change minfree values((u don't need to do that.)) but if u do you will want to go ti system/etc/init.d and edit the 98tweaks file that comes with eclipse. u will want to delete the lines in 98tweaks that refer to minfree values(says something like "aggressive values etc...") but it isn't necessary if u just do the oom groupings fix and htk launcher.
Awesome, thanks. I did see reference to script manager, but thought I'd try it without first...guess I know what I'm doing next

yeah just make sure u change the settings I mentioned. if u don't turn off extra gestures setting it will type a bunch of random characters when u try to scroll. its VERY simple to use.
feel free to private message me if u need any help as well.
my gmail will alert me quickly so I can get back to ya
let me know if u need any tips its thanks giving...don't forget to hit thanks button...Hahaha ...just kidding ...im a thanks whore Hahaha...
also. I usually change the file type from pdf to .sh...just rename the file with whatever file explore u use. its bot necessary but I do it
when running it using script manager u will see an option to choose to use terminal emulator if you prefer it but script manager is very simple/easy to use. have fun with it. its an awesome script for making our x2 run how it should. enjoy
That's funny, I tried saying thanks...but the xda app doesn't let me. I'll do it later. Got the script working. The problem was that my file browser was executing the script...without any way for me to see the output and make selections haha. Script manager did the trick.
On another note, the Catan app still crashed. The first time was in 10 minutes, but only brought me to the home screen. The second one made it reboot after 20 like before. I think I'm going to try the oom group fix with bulletproof launcher instead of hard to kill. And change to the 513hp aggressive setting.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Oh, and I made sure to have all the settings correct
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
bulletproof launcher will lock home app in memory. kinda takes up ram by not allowing home to be killed. .
maybe try option 9(used to be on.older version) for different minfree settings ...
Well, thanks anyway ash. It was a good thought. I tried every setting, including different minfrees and even bulletproofing the Catan app itself. It still reboots after 20 minutes. I even went into the script after reboots to make sure the settings were sticking...they were.

I recommend using the guide found here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315711
So, I assume you've used Pete's Rooting Tool, with that said, am I assuming correctly that, this tool is what said you were successfully rooted?
Also, what launcher are you running on your DX2? Some launchers give you the ability to hide apps in the app drawer and perhaps that app is hidden. A better way to check for this app would be to go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> "All Tab" -> Scroll and look for Superuser
I'd also give it another shot. Make sure you pay close attention to the steps provided, sometimes it's easy to miss one of the steps. If you're still having problems, post back some of the things you've checked and we can continue to help you troubleshoot the issue.
Using Petes one click I was never successfully rooted even tho on the computer screen it says I was successfully rooted.
The one thing I noticed while using Petes one click is that my phone is only rebooted once during the whole process. Also I'm running adw ex and the apps aren't hidden.

More often than not I have to go into app manager and manually force close apps because they are stuck on a black screen and just freeze that way. Also, busybody pro won't install when I try to install it in the normal fashion but when I download busybody installer app it installs super fast. There a reason for that?

You will have both su and supersu. Just get supersu from the market it is free. Supersu seems to do most the work after you install it. Acts the same as su but it helps with the freezing apps on cm7. It also will allow you to update binary in the supersu.

So you are running both Supersu and Superuser? When I tried Supersu out, I ran both and still had issues, then I removed Superuser (not an easy process) and still had issues. I just created a script that will allow me to kill the offending process. Then I can go in and restart the app and it works just fine. Usually I only have to do that after a reboot.

Yes I have both on my phone? Is that bad? I trust you moon shadow. I usually have to go to manage apps and forceclose app and then it usually opens with no problems. Should I ditch the supersu? Also curious to the script you made. I am glad you will still have the x2 for a while unless you get tired of it and buy another phone. I know I have been watching for good deals in used nexus. Kinda sad around here with not much happening anymore. The x2 community is a great group. I have been on bionic forums for my wife.

Honestly, I ditched Supersu when I reflashed my phone. (I had problems with some mods I did that hosed it and all of my nandroids were bad.) It's a pretty simple bash script. And, yes, I'm around until JUN2013...

This glitch is the only thing I dislike about CM7, but I think I figured out a pretty good solution to the issue. Under settings, then applications, then development there is a box for "long press back key to kill app". If the app is not opening, simply holding in the back key for a second kills it.
The only apps I have this issue with is netflix and boat browser. My root apps all work fine.

Thanks, but those didn't work. I want it because the updated google search app does not change when the ICS go launcher theme is applied. Instead of the clear bar it displays the all white box which totally messes my phones look up. I ran into the same issue on the x2 but fixed it under settings, apps, manage apps, google search, uninstall updates. This phone is newer so its stock app is already updated.
