Hell I don't care if I have to plug it in to boot into recovery. If it means we can take another step forward I will stand on my head to boot if it means finding the right work arounds to getting other roms like maybe cm7 or who knows.

My bad! That's great news!

nice... I was actually looking into this earlier today to see how the actual recovery worked(what was replaced with what) and was gonna try to look into it.

Most excellent news!

Last test build a few of us tried wouldn't allow us to restore a backup. Issues w/ not being able to unmount /system I believe. Other than that, it was working great!

Okay, okay, okay... This really is great news! I really like CWM, got used to it when I was running a Samsung Continuum.

So when will it be ready for mass consumption? I'm frothing at the mouth...

When it can unmount system and restore...
the.process to get that to work can be a very long process...I was looking at his log sheet he.posted last night and it is getting pretty long. Meaning it can take a while just to sift thru and see what went wrong or what needs changing ....patience will DEFINITELY be a virtue with this. U might fare well by forgetting you saw this and just being surprised one day when the subject comes up again

Im pretty happy with my current eclipse 1.3, ics theme and my zeam launcher. Oh and powerboost mod too. Nice combo to me still hope one day we will be able to load cm7 on here. I don't like the locked boot but I love my x2. Might be my last motor. Might not. I just want a phone that's bugless and smooth. With theming capabilities.
The combo I have now is both so despite a locked boot im a happy x2 owner.
Thank you devs for your hard work and making it possible for me to be happy with my x2 without you I would brought it back and swapped for a samsung lol

which powerboost mod are u running?
I have been waiting for 2.10 to drop.
I was also thinking of donating and getting the RC others have gotten. but I need to wait til friday to donate ;( I think the final might be out by then anyways but im still gonna donate

2.0 fixed y? It wouldn't flash so I just did it by hand. Everything installed in seems to be working. Even the power boost mod check that it was working. I would definitely upgrade when it comes out but this 1 seems to be working fine. Internet seems a lot more responsive.

was wondering if it was flashable yet.
im mainly just interested in the unthrottle. since I know im being throttled . I can see it im my tests. I am definitely a victim of "network optimization " lol. can't wait to be free if that.

Recovery reboot option(Request)

I've always appreciated having the option of rebooting into recovery on the "phone options" when powering off. Typically if I have already used the dx2 bootstrap into recovery previously I can just power down when im plugged in and ill reboot into cwm...and my old dx and other phones I've seen have it typically. Pretty sure its doable.
So if anyones up for adding it to your list of things to do id be extatic.
Thx in advance.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
We don't have an official bsr. In order for the reboot recovery to work, i think the script calls for Koush's signature, or something like that, and our recovery doesn't have the proper sig. Not only is it a hacked up recovery, it's an ancient one. I don't see recovery ever being added, unfortunately.
Oh, btw, wrong forum.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
Xodus is correct.
We were all excited for a while when koush got an x2 bout a month or two ago thinking we would finally get a "real" x2 recovery option. Its a little frustrating to see almost EVERY moto phone except for us have that option. And the only "real"x2 difference between our phone and others is our tegra2. I can't see that being the reason we can't get this option. It Has GOT to be doable if someone would just put the work/time into creating it.
Well, don't they have one for the Xoom? We need to see if we can port some of the Xoom hacks. The only difference REALLY are honeycomb and the screen size(right?).

Ya well even though we aren't unlocked...it would seem that some sort of autorun sequence for the two commands in the dx2 bootstrap could be programmed to run one after the other in the background at the push of a button on that menu. But it couldn't really be that simple -_-

Logic seems airtight. I mean, if you can push the button in System Recovery and it'll boot to charge mode or recovery mode then why can't the same commands used to perform that action be used as a reboot recovery option. I'm no dev. I would imagine if it was that easy, it would've been done by now.
"Reboot widget" from the market is a good alternative for now....

Seems to me the charge mode is the weakest link in the chain. The normal boot sequence is dependent on encryption and system checks, the battery animation doesn't require so much security. It would make sense to me, after reading the cvpcs blog about 2nd init, they could use 2nd init to hijack normal boot, but that sounds like a total pain in the ass.

ya XOdus...with nitro and masta being basically the only two devs for the dx2 I figured I'd just throw this out there and hopefully someone reads it. If i were savoy with making roms I'd be all over it, but hopefully just my train of thought may help someone with their endeavors in making their rom worth while. Nitro put our bootstrapper in his "eclipse parts" so I would imagine he might be interested in advancing farther.
We have it on the bionic. We're locked plus have to use a bootstrap. Ask around in that forum....
It's on Th3ory's ROM.

I can do it but you still have to be plugged into the wall. I found it kind of pointless since you need the app to toggle it back to charge mode if needed.

[ROM] Sub MIUI v.1

Overview:
This is basically a ROM I made when I was bored.
It is based off of Pepperm1nt's [ROM][GB 2.3.4]GingerBread Phone 7 v0.4
I replaced some of the apps with MIUI apps such as
MIUI launcher
MIUI Music
MIUI Browser
I am not sure this ROM will work or flash so flash at your own risk
I am not responsible for any damage to your phone. Use at your own discretion
How to install
Must be on 2.3.4 NOT 2.3.5
Install bootstrap
Reboot into bootstrap recovery
Wipe data/cache
Flash this ROM

Well judging by how he has written the description, it should flash, if all he did was replace apks from miui to this rom. However a test would help peoples feelings lol

This should work almost flawless. I've played with all three apps he added on Molten and they worked well. Should not be an issue. Just wondering but did you ask Pepperm1nt if it was ok to use his rom? No big deal if you did Something to play with, thanks.

This is only GBphone rom + the MIUI launcher look alike and locker + other look alikes.
Sounds a little weird. No pics of screenshots or even tested? Based off someone elses rom without even asking first. Althoug he did give proper credit and did not try to act like it was his own. I appreciate all development for this phone but have to admit this is a first for me to see The OP even states not sure if this will work lol. Does not give you that warm fuzzy feeling and anxious to flash something new.

I dont mind doing a sbf. Did plenty when I was getting to eclipse 2.02 when I had root keeper on my phone I do not mean to bash anyone it is just weird the OP says he is not sure if it will work. Also the title I thought was a little misleading thought this was a MIUI rom.
Seems odd to complain about someone cooking up a new option for a phone with so little support. Regardless of the nature of that option, or what you experienced on another phones dev thread.
Thanks Jay, though I wont be using your work its nice to see people working with the x2. And incorporating miui apps / miui lookalike apps is a neat idea for miui fans who can't flash it due to a pesky locked bootloader.
And, I know none of you fine folks intended to come off as ungrateful or complainy (its my word don't steal it ). Its easy for things to be misinterpreted, between thinking about what you want to post, posting, and someone else reading your post with none of the vocal expression you had in mind.

<runs off to nand... then flash>
ok, i made a nandroid backup.. then just flashed over my existing working daily driving CM7.. didn't wipe anything (wanted to just try a flash without wipe)..
Confirmed working on CM7 w/ Joker's 1.3 overclock kernel. First boot takes a while.. almost so long that I was pondering doing a battery pull.. but i waited.. (I had 45% battery left LOL).. after first boot I let all my widgets load etc.. then did another reboot (per the OP linked thread).. this thing seems SUPER snappy.. I'll report back tomorrow with my impression of battery usage improvements based on what's normal usage for me.
So far.. so good.. although the second boot seemed to take a bit longer.. it almost hangs a little on the moto screen.. but it WILL boot..
EDIT: forgot to mention, I have my phone set to 1gig max speed.. I am not overclocked (although I'm running the OC kernel).
Hope this helps (remember to hit the thanks button for me being the guinea pig)
so far I've ran it for a day phone boots faster, screen transitions are quicker no sign of lag any where not sure about battery cause I use my phone constantly but I get around 8-10 hours on a battery will see how that fares. but do far so good no fc, no lags, internet loads fast maybe just on my mind but I say its doing its thing me likey

Hi all.
My wife's phone recently played out for the third time within a year (D2). When they replaced it this time they sent her a completely different phone.
Well she liked my DX2 better so I got the other (sam strat) phone. I had planned on moving to another phone in the not so distant future but looks like I got moved sooner then I thought. (Still gonna get a different phone in the near future)
The DX2 community on here is incredible, and I am sure that goes without saying and everyone of you guys and gals know that! I will miss my phone and the community but it's time to move on I suppose. I wish you all the best, I am sure I will stop in from time to time to check up on things.
DK, your an awesome Dev. and I think more so then that you seem to be a super guy from what one can get to know someone else through communicating over the internet / forums. Thanks man for all your time and effort!
GL all.
Don't be a stranger and be sure to stop in from time to time. When I got my Gnex, the thought crossed my mind that I may not frequent the DX2 community as much. But I just can't let it go. Other areas here on XDA just don't offer what is abundant here. By far the best on the web, hands down.
Best of luck in your future endeavors...neighbor!

It's definitly a lot easier rooting the x2, but oh well. Still stuck with 2 or 3 roms too which are all tweaked versions of stock because the radio interface layer is locked by samsung. They say we're supposed to get ICS(only reps, no official updates), but won't give out any dates or anything. Oh well.

I Made 4.2 Work! (A Few Questions...)

Well, I have successfully booted up 4.2 on my Droid X2. I have been running it since Monday, and it's pretty stable. the only things that aren't working are:
Video Camera
Bluetooth
A few bugs from CM10.
I want to know if you guys want me to finish it up, and try to ready it up for a release this weekend, or if you want me to try to fix bluetooth, and the video camera.
EDIT: I'm going to attempt to fix bluetooth. If it causes too many problems, i'll release it without bluetooth and work on it in my free time. There is a couple stability issues I have patched up, and it seems to be working just fine so far.
EDIT2: I'm taking finals tomorrow then i'll have a good month of tinkering with this ROM. My goal is to get it pretty stable by then end of August (like 8/10 stable).
You should talk to Dragonzkiller. He is also making cm10.1.

I don't know how to get in contact with him. He's on XDA for like 5 minutes every week.
He has a twitter account he uses more often. @dragonzkiller.

not so much.
I would use his help, but I don't think he would be active enough when I needed him. I may get some help from Hashcode if I run into a problem updating this. I like to go solo with most of my things because people program differently. People use different organization, etc..

If you can get help from hashcode, you sir, will be able to get many a thing done.

The thing is, he doesn't have an X2, so I'm not sure if it's really different from other devices he's worked with.

I would really enjoy his help, but I'm not sure if he will help. I just tried fixing bluetooth and now i'm getting some issues.

True. Bluetooth is really difficult to fix so is the camera. Keep it up though, its good to see someone working on it.

Nice to hear someone is still working on this thing. If you have a decent build of 4.2.2, I dont see a reason to not release it. Just put all the usual warnings in the post and make it an Alpha. If you do, I'll flash it and test it out. Good work

A lot of people use bluetooth so i'll try to get that working. I'm not sure if i'll take the time for the camera, considering it's been an issue for a while. You can take pictures, you just can't record.

I have been working on this since about the time CM10 A2.99999 was released. The first time it didn't even boot, the next time, touch screen didn't work, and i've just been wiping out issues since then. It's pretty stable, has about the same battery life as CM10 A3 but I know of some apps that help it greatly. Right now I can get about a 12 hour battery life. This includes a phone call or 2, texting, some web browsing, and a little bit of gaming during my web design class.
I have it to a point where it can be a daily driver for some. I want it to be a little bit more stable. I'm free today so i'll spend most of my evening working on it. Tomorrow i'll have a little free time.

Sounds like you got most of the kinks worked out. And you're right about the camera. It may never be fixed since you cant use certain things that Jelly Bean needs. Again, good work. Sounds like you put a lot of effort into this. :good:

I have put a lot of effort in. Theres a few more things i'm going to fix before i push out the ROM. I never thought this phone would see 4.2.
I wanted 4.2, and no one did it, so I learned how to do this myself.

Thats what people SHOULD do. I bet you learned a lot by building your own ROM too. Next thing you know, you'll start making apps.

I have already made apps. Learning how to make apps helped me pick this up easier. Once I get my new phone i'll try to make a custom ROM.
