Yeah I'm not sure it matters either ... I know on my HTC Desire it mattered. If I flashed it with a GSM rom it would not boot.

Okay so somewhat unrelated ... i've got bootstrap installed and was able to do a rom backup via clockwork recovery. Is there a way to boot into recovery from the device being off? I tried every combination of buttons while pressing the on button but nothing works. I've looked all over the forum (and googled) but can't find anything.

I want to start installing custom roms but am affraid of something going wrong and me not being able to reflash my backup.

Then again maybe I'm just confused because I'm coming from a Desire which I've discovered Motorola and HTC modding differs significantly.
[Droid X General] JDinAZ74:
Im still looking for roms as well and kinda afraid to just start trying things like you said. If you come across anything that works let me know and ill do the same.
[Droid X General] mattmartin77:
to get to stock recovery, hold power and home till the moto logo appears, then release the power button until you get an exclamation point, then let go and click the search button.

to get to cw recovery, do a battery pull and reboot.

if you completely **** your phone, sbf.
[Droid X General] Dynastes:
Wouldn't the SBf only work on a Droid x?
[Droid X General] dilirum:
Fantastic! Thank you.
[Droid X General] jgraham4598:
I don't know that they could do an sbf being on a non Verizon carrier. The sbf files out are all for Verizon. If you do screw up your phone you would have to take it into the store and have them sbf it. And they might not. I think you guys just need to be a little careful. Unless you can find an sbf file from your carrier. Try apex, rubix, or liberty roms for flashing. All the roms are cdma. Good luck and be careful.
[Droid X General] thekurrgan:
The milestone x uses the same RSA key for its bootloader as the original Droid X. You CAN flash a Verizon SBF into it and it will work, HOWEVER, it will NO LONGER work with your carrier. It is also important to note that ANY SBF will overwrite the baseband AND the baseband configuration (unless specifically noted NOT to do so) rendering the phone useless, requiring re-programming, which for the voice part is no big deal, but to get EVDo working again you'll need to edit some non-user accessible parameters with QPST and what not to get it to connect back to the non verizon carrier.

What you CAN do with this phone is non-baseband patching updates/roms. If you've got a Milestone X you're not on verizon, so you're not able to use the leaked SBF's and what not, which removes a decent safety net. So flash with caution. If your carrier is small enough they are likely to re-sbf your phone for you if you brick it.

One last word of caution.. Verizon's DX on leaked GB's updates the BL to a newer version than is on the Milestone X. This will turn your phone into a Droid X, with no ability to go backwards until the same BL is available on the Milestone X.

In short, we non VZW DX owners have a lot less fun..

Bollocks to that.
[Droid X General] SirPots:
really wish I knew if someone had tried, I really want to try that leaked gingerbread.
[Droid X General] SirPots:
went ahead and took the plunge with... SUCCESS. I installed Liberty 2.0.1 and nothing went wrong, you just got to be more careful than others who have the sbf backup.
[Droid X General] Slie:
Went to ACS today because i'm considering this phone, ACS is partnering with Verison(GSM), and GCI is partnering with Sprint (CDMA).

Just incase it's not clear i'm sure roms for Verizon will work for ACS and roms for sprint should work with GCI.

Double check incase i have the two "bands mixed up" i know i have the carrier relationships right.
[Droid X General] grizzbud:
Does anyone know if we can overclock with out romming?
[Droid X General] JDinAZ74:
I tried droid overclock a few times which always sent the phone into a boot loop. Id have to pull the battery and do a factory reset to get it running again.
[Droid X General] JDinAZ74:
What carrier are you on? Ive been wanting to try this rom but am too afraid of bricking my phone. Im using ACS Alaska and assumed this rom would turn it into a verizon droid x and make it not work.
[Droid X General] bouchedag:
Would just like to say that I'm with a different small carrier (Ntelos) cdma here in the states and have used all of the custom roms here, including the gingerbread leak, and was able to revert back with no problems at all, fortunately I do have the ntelos .sbf in case things did fubarb, with that being said the leak did nothing to upgrade my bootloader, and I was able to sbf back to stock, only issues I had with any of the roms was lack of MMS.
[Droid X General] thatguy07:
Can we get that ntelos sbf. I've been looking for it for so long. The mms issue is a simple fix. Open voice command and say "open apn's". Edit it from there ( I will have to look up what to change it to, but I think you just edit verizon to nTelos and there's another line you need to change to http://mms.ntelospcs.net)

Please hook it up with that sbf. I have one I need it for and I want to try out some gb builds. Thanks
[Droid X General] bouchedag:
Open apns doesn't work on the gingerbread builds, or froyo builds on the milestone X, period, and as for posting the .sbf, sorry....no can do, it's just 1 of the tools I use to pay my bills, not something widely posted, and not something google will pull up, sorry wish I could help.

There's an app in the market called Any Cut you can use to make a link to the APNs Settings. I have a Droid X that I originally had flashed to alltel, but had issues with 3G and MMS... I got 3G to work like a dream by flashing the alltel SBF but MMS won't let me sent, only receive...

There isn't a selection in Rom Manager for the Milestone X so I have been just been using the Droid X recovery. I don't know if I should try another one.

I did try an old version of Apex a while back but didn't like it. Hvae not tried a newer one.

currently i'm using a class 6 8GB card but i'm thinking of upgrading to a 16GB.

however, all the 16GB cards i see are class 2. now i got the class 6 because i was using apps2ext on CM5 and 6, but since i'm getting a tablet, and more and more apps are getting froyo apps2sd support i'm not going to need apps2ext anymore.

So i'm just wondering if dropping from a class 6 to a class 2 will have any effect on the way froyo handles apps2sd.

Frankly the froyo apps2sd is pretty bad. It does save some space, but in the end it's a game trying to uninstall this to add that. I have a class 4 and can't tell any difference in speed with apps2ext, even with dalvic2sd.

Ok guys, what is this interactive governer and where do i access it? Is this something that was supposed to have been in the download or something I download in the market? I downloaded the latest emmc version and placed it on my sd card, flashed in CWR, then rebooted. I didnt clear any caches before doing this. Also this thing is super fast. Ran 3 quadrant scores, 1st- 1356, 2nd- 1568, 3rd- 1522, with an average of 1482. Wow:D

Thanks in advance

The interactive governor is under the Available Governors spot in the CPU Settings menu; you find it just above the Min/Max cpu speed selections.

Settings > CyanogenMod > Performance > CPU Settings > Available Governors.

[Nook Color General] rogerdugans:
I've been using the interactive governor since it first started working on the Original Droid and I use it on my NC as well.

I find it makes things move just a bit quicker while having similar battery life.

First thing I do after a new rom is flash the oc kernel. Next thing is set the governor and oc.

If updates don't work with those things, I'd have to do a bug report and revert back to when they did. ;)

While I hate to see Pandora be the target of this, it's still a good thing. On ANY PC the uncontrolled and sometimes (on phones) unknown transmission of personal and location data would be outrageous and flagged immediately as a virus by any AV program. I understand that they need to make revenue from these free apps somehow but at what cost? Not to mention most paid apps still transmit data.

Why not provide a way of killing the data transmission? You have that option on almost every program on a PC, why not here? Or maybe give the option of ads or data transmission. The modern smart phone isn't just a toy for a lot of people anymore, it's their life and also a necessity because it holds every bit of information about them.

Google also needs clear cut explanations in the market of what exactly an app accesses with the given permissions. So an app needs access to my sdcard.... why? What's it doing that requires this access? Something like that. The current setup is too generic; Phone... okay, what the hell does that even mean? It just needs to be more informative or they need to change the permission structure so there are more specific permissions so 'Phone' doesn't give access to 20 different things.

I have rooted my new Droid X using z4root and then installed WifiTether. Started the WifiTether and allowed access to my iPad. All that worked fine, but the issue is the speed of the Wifi Tethered iPad. My phone, using the SpeedTest app runs at 1mg down and 700k up, but my iPad using the Wifi Tether only gets 1-5k down and 1-5k up. IT'S JUST STUPID SLOW.

This can't bet right, so does anyone have any idea why this would happen?

FYI: I have the latest Droid X OS since I just got the phone 3 days ago and the z4root perma-root worked without a hitch. When launching Wifi Tether the phone asked to approve connection to the iPad, which I did and it started to allow browser use, but once it got to around 25k, the download went to 0k and then briefly gave me 1k down every so often.

Last, I just rebooted and then started the wiFi Tether app again. I get an error during launch and the "Show Log" area says:

loading kernel module : FAILED

Activating Wifi Interface : DONE

Starting Hostapd... : DONE

Enabling NAT Rules : DONE

Enabling IP Forwarding : DONE

Verizon now has the ability to see who is using rooted phones, and in their opinion stealing data through root tether apps, and they throttle your data connection down to unusable levels. This is the one thing i hate about greedy Verizon. T-mobile allows free wi-fi tethering, or at least they don't block it.

At least this is what i have heard reading on clockworkmods site.

If I do this, does that mean Verizon will be able to still see that I have activated and am using the 3G hotspot without paying for it? This is regardless if I do this with or without root.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aquariuz23:
Hello everyone,

Has anybody else who updated to 4.1.57 find that their Atrix is now kinda sluggish? I don't mean all the time, but every now and then I get random stutters or sluggishness when switching between programs. A couple of times, it even screen locks for a few seconds when waking up. This has never happened to me before with the 4.1.26, where programs just run without hesitation. They either run smoothly, or FC in the process. But now, some of them just becomes jittery.

I wonder if it has something to do with Motorola's battery improvement in the update. When it got sluggish on me, I decided to go to into setcpu to see at wat speed the phone was running. I noticed that the phone was throttling severely all the way down to 216 mhz the second the phone is not being used. it fluctuates up and down but it seems to always drop down there once i dont touch the phone. I think this is causing an issue cuz there's a lot of background apps and widgets running and once you try running an active program, it takes a split second to start, and that split second causes it to stutter.

I haven't had the screen lock in a while, so that's a good thing. But it seems setcpu can't seem to force the cpu to constantly stay high, even if i put the minimum to 1000mhz, so I get those stutters every now and then.

Anybody has any suggestions on this matter? Im thinking if this persists, I might just go back to 5.1.26 until they come up with a major update. Really the only reason I updated was cuz the prompt was driving me mad.

p.s. another way I know how the cpu isnt running a constant 1ghz --- my phone isnt as hot as it used to be. it used to be so warm in my hand, my hand would turn red from holding it.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dingleberry1:
It takes very, very little time for a modern CPU to change its clock speed. Monitor your computer's CPU clock closely sometime, it almost certainly does throttling to a similar degree. I also observed similar levels of throttling via tegrastats on my Atrix prior to the update.

Personally 1.5.7 has been good for me, at least in the sense that nothing appears to be worse after.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheetah2k:
Only heard good reviews on 4.1.57. Can't wait for Bell to issue it too
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aquariuz23:
lol, i dont like throttling. All my PCs n laptops run on full speed (throttling disabled) whenever they're on. I expect the same with my phone x) I just don't like any lag but I understand wat you mean. I still wanna hear what other's feel about the update.

note: I'm about to deodex the phone in a bit. Let's see how it ends :D
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dingleberry1:
Moving stuff around in device memory is an order of magnitude slower than your CPU changing clock speed, and moving stuff between flash and device member is an order of magnitude or two slower than that. CPU throttling isn't the right place to look for this sort of issue.

As for your computers and not allowing them to throttle...enjoy the power bill I suppose. Even in overclocked scenarios modern processors work just fine with throttling enabled.

Atrix 4.1.57 issues

I have had my Atrix for over a month with no issues. After the 4.1.57 update I have the following 3 issues:

1. The phone randomely reboots (never did this before the update)

2. The cell signal is much weaker; no signal in areas where it had signal before

3. Apps seems to start slower.

I called motorola technical support and asked if there is a way to un-install this update; the answer is NO, all they can come up with is a factory RESET which will not remove the update but will remove all my data and Apps.

I finally sent the phone to AT&T and got a replacement with 4.1.26 and it works fine, especially the battery life and the cell signal and no reboots so far.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
I did a search on this as I was curious. I remember seeing in the merges about ext4 being supported for CM7 and a google search and forum search came with nothing. I was able to find information about ext4 replacement for Samsung phones such as Galaxy S and Nexus S.

I posted this on the EVO forum as someone there had a similar question:

I'm thinking if I could nandroid backup, reformat ext3 as ext4 and then restore, it should work for me. I know at least the Tiamat kernel currently supports ext4.

Any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
Anyone? I'm curious if at least doing this could help performance as I believe ext4 is definitely faster than ext3.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
So I tried a nandroid backup then formatting /system /data and /cache using CWM 3.0.0.8 and restoring backup but no change. /system and /data/data are still yaffs2 and /data and /cache are still ext3. I think if I use mke2fs with the correct options it might work. I remember seeing support in CM7 for it and the kernel I'm using definitely supports it.

EDIT: So this is more of a because-I-want-to project than because I think significant improvements will be made. Next step would be to see if I can use a command line format using adb in recovery.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
I converted ext3 to ext4 for /data and /cache as follows but when I reboot it mounts as ext3 (maybe I have to reflash rom?):

From adb shell:

tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
e2fsck -fpDC0 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
For anyone reading, the file to be edited is /init.inc.rc which is part of the ramdisk so the actually ramdisk needs to be modified or any changes will not stick on a reboot. It proves quite challenging. Maybe the rom or kernel do not prefer ext4 over ext3.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vikstk:
Can you provide instruction on how to change /init.inc.rc ? Thanks !
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
I can actually do something a little simpler than that.

Basically I took Chad's 4/19 kernel and extracted the file and edited it and put it back in. It took a bit of work to figure it out. Thanks to Chad and Conap I got it working. If I missed anyone else I apologize.

The prerequisite for this to do anything is to make sure you have actually converted the current ext3 partitions to ext4. You can check by running mount from adb or terminal emulator.

Then flash the below zip which will load Chad's 4/19/11 kernel and also allow mounting as ext4. If you want a different kernel you can just flash over it and it should still be ext4. If you want to undo it just wipe and reinstall any ROM.
