I wasn't referring to the people after the purchase, I've run into some great help when it comes to problems and I've also run into so horrible help. I was referring to before the fact... as in whoever the higher up cleared the phone... imagine sprint releasing the evo 3d with froyo now that the evo has Ginger... the droid 3 is ginger if I'm not mistaken... why this phone was left off is beyond me.. I blame myself for assuming since the X1 was updated about a week after this was released, I thought X2 would follow shortly behind... boy was I wrong. :-)
[Motorola Droid X2] cvmaas:
DX2 won't get GB until after the Bionic launches to help differentiate the phone. The Bionic isn't looking that special these days, it needs all the help it can get.
[Motorola Droid X2] ferg40:
I gotta say it... You guys are obviously doing something wrong to have had to get as many replacements as you have. I'm a tech at verizon and have the X2. Stop crying and figure out what you're doing wrong.

Seven X2's

I've been tweaking a bunch of these x2s and I've noticed quite a bit of inconsistency across the board. Every single one has had its strong points and weak points. I exchanged the first x2 I got after coming from the incredible. The x2 ran so poorly I thought it had to be defective, I was prob wrong. It was just the way they run. My second one bricked in less then five hours and I hadn't even rooted it yet. Since then I swapped out two others to get a different sequence # trying to find a good batch. Oddly I've seen 4 different stocksd sd cards in them. Rooting, freezing bloatware and scripting have made the x2 usable. Its almost as good as my trusty incredible now. I emailed Motorola about the phones poor performance and locked bootloader. Their responding email pointed the finger squarely back at the carrier.
[Motorola Droid X2] bokajay@gmail.com:
Rooting alone made my DX2 faster

Just rooting alone made the phone so much faster. I found that very odd. Any other phone I rooted (Incredible, MT3G, Droid Eris, N1, Fascinate, Evo) while running a stock rom ran a little slower until tweaks were made.

After removing bloat and running the supercharge script there was additional performance boost from freeing up memory, but I was really amazed at how just rooting removed so much lag.

I had an issue playing music on this phone. It would always lag. It would even lag when the stock ringtone played when receiving a call. After rooting, fixed. Is it possible when they finalized this rom there was some issue locking down the system partition and rooting repairs this?

Anyone else experience this. I mean the true fix for this phone will be a custom rom based off of 2.3.4 but in the mean time I am enjoying this phone for once.

The failonic:D. X2 = Bionic w/ .2 inches less of screen? no 4g (battery vamp) and ffc (vanity) oh noes! Tegra 2 > omap imo.
[Motorola Droid X2] onemotodroid:
i had six DROID X replacement phones - i was ready to leave my contract early after sending a letter to Verizon

all i said was that i must have /and needed dial-tone service from Verizon

Verizon replaced me with a new DROID X2

cost me one added year of service (i had a year remaining - that's was okay with me) i love the DROID X as a phone

The DROID X2 even is better - i have had no problems
[Motorola Droid X2] Prezidjent:
I've had my X2 for little over 2 weeks now and I haven't had a single issue. First thing I did was root and freeze the bloat. I ran it like that for a week without issue. I see all of the complaints about this phone here and it got me wondering so I unfroze everything, unrooted it and have run it like that for the last week. Admittedly, it is a tad bit slower but when unlocking but other than that, it seems plenty fast to me. At least as fast as the iphone 4 that I use for work. Not a single reboot or lock up and I have been using this for email, forum browsing, as an mp3 player while I drive for work etc. fairly heavy use and the battery always lasts me all day. Maybe there is a bad batch of phones out there but I love mine.
[Motorola Droid X2] kegman913:
my droidx was the best. This x2 is nothing but a crashing, rebooting, lagging, disaster. If my droidx didn't go for a swim i'd switch back to that in a heart beat. x2 needs so much work.
[Motorola Droid X2] aerdely:
Just to say though as far as the dinc2 it depends, was a nice phone and liked it but has low signal issues. Switched from it last week. Was getting constant 3g and service drop out. Could barely use it at time and my parents who just switched to it from the fascinate are experiencing the same issues. The back is little flimsy and cheap which I think causes it since it act as the antenna. Not knocking the device really liked the htc sense and the phone its self but in my area due to heavy foliage I have low signal issues in my area verizon said and the dx2 solved this for me where as I have reading between 80 and 95 dbms with dx2 I got a 102 dbms with the dinc2. Just throwing the info out there and have not experience any issues yet with the dx2, maybe I got lucky.
[Motorola Droid X2] LaLongeCarabine:
No you're not I've had zero issues. I'll go further as well, my X2 I'd the best smart phone I've ever had!
[Motorola Droid X2] ilovesoad:
You are aware that the closer to zero the signal numbers are, the stronger they actually are, right?
[Motorola Droid X2] aerdely:
Ok your right, didnt realize that but was just saying with my dinc2 had constant 3g drop out and loss of service. Tried both phones for a couple days and x2 had significantly better service. No problems with the drop out and more bars on top. Saying again though did like the dinc2 was rooted with gingersense was nice and miss that part but would rather have a phone I can actually use. Just putting that out there but thanks for correcting me on that. I also edited my post to fix that I ment dx2 had better signal reading but just to make sure father is going to be stopping by today and im gonna compare the dinc2 to the x2 again. Since I could have them both activated at the same time the other day, this might help. What I mentioned before too was, father was having the problem also, they called me saturday to ask if I had any issues with service with the dinc2 and explained exactly what I was experiencing before verizon switched me. They switch from the fascinate which had alot of dropped and missed call problems which I experienced also with the fascinate. This is my 5 different Droid device, seems all have they're own problems. Eris had problems with the track ball, original moto droid had no major issues I noticed, I mentioned the fascinate and dinc2 which so far have had no problems with the x2. Thing is I baby my.phones, dont think I put a singal scratch on them with exception to the back of the phones. Fascinate scratched the back easily, also rooted every one and switched between multiple roms without a singal brick yet. This one being the exception because the locked boot loader but im rooted now using v6 supercharge no rom yet though, waiting for one I like or an unlocked boot loader. Sorry for the long post but just mentioning my experience which im sure are different for every one.
[Motorola Droid X2] Watercycle:
it only rebooted on me when i pushed the flash to far in web browsing - > overheated based on my finger's word.

other than that i don't see any issue with the device, everything has worked perfectly for this week i've had it :D

out of the box you can complain about what? slighlt slow redraws probably :confused:

reading comments i must say anyone that thinks this is crappy out of the box (before modding) needs to go cryo-freeze themselves a good 5 decades so they can have a super smart phone because obviously load times of 0.1 are nothing compared to 0.05
[Motorola Droid X2] LordRalh3:
If you offerered me a straight trade right now, a BIONIC right now for my X2....I would slap you for trying to steal my X2. Come on people, your already here on the XDA forums, go actually read the X2 hack section, rooting is not devil worship, running the v6 supercharger is not even geometry much less physics...sd increase is a simple as it gets... if you can read and follow step by step instructions you can have the X2 running like a dream in less than two hours.
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
Absolutely. I just came over from the fascinate and although I'm not new to flashing or modding, every new phone has it's own learning curve. Using the posts here I'm rooted & supercharged in about 30min, 20 of which was reading. Gotta say, this thing flies & is more stable than my fascinate on cm7.
[G2 and Desire Z General] GetTargetedFans:
Hey I'm on CM7RC1 with Eugene's Kernel. It shows the startup and after that the screen goes blank. I will donate $5 via Paypal to whomever can help me get it running. Possibly a different combination of ROM and kernel might get it to run as it runs on other HTC phones fine so I think I can rule out the Emulator as being the entire problem. Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z General] DanWilson:
The ROM of the game perhaps?
[G2 and Desire Z General] GetTargetedFans:
I feel comfortable ruling that out after trying 4 different versions. EU, US, AU etc.

My offer for $5 to help me find a fix or workaround still stands!
[G2 and Desire Z General] GeorgeNav:
Hello dawg

Ether your emulator is not compatible (happened to me) or your rom is corrupted. Theres an apk called "Emulator Roms" (version 2.2.1) out and it will give you downloads for most roms, worth playing, and up to date emulators that are compatible with CM7 (aka Gingerbread lol)

Google to find the download or wait for me cause i forgot where it is haha
[G2 and Desire Z General] johrie:

The emu is not optimized yet, and there is no GUI. But Banjo Tooie is working on this emulator!

To play Banjo Tooie, go on your sd card. Open the folder App-Data> Paulscodeblahblah folder :P> Roms > Place the Banjo Tooie rom here and rename it to mario.n64 ( dont forget to rename or delete the original mario.n64 )

It lags on my device but i already said the emu needs optimization because it is still in alpha :)

Is it possible to install Android on Kaiser without SD? Has anyone investigated bundling the /system partition with tinboot so the whole thing is installed with a single KAISIMG?

I ask because I have one Kaiser whose SD reader is broken. If I could install more than a kernel, I could try risky changes to fix the NAND driver. If I brick the phone or kill its flash, it's no big loss.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] l1q1d:
No, you can't do it now, maybe i can suggest you to look after a method do dump the nand after install and use it as kaiser image
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] PoXFreak:
Exactly what I was thinking, but how to negotiate the NAND into the proper size partitions? Write kernel for rom and hope you get the sizes right, or make a kernel that readjusts /system size based on install and leave remainder for /data?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] daedric:
I don't think thats l1q1d idea... perhaps a complete nand dump, and reflash it to another kaiser.

The kernel and partitions must be configures before the dump...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] n2rjt:
I do intend to try, but have been distracted by Scoot's very stable kernel, and a very nice pre-beta that I'm testing on my HTC Wizards, Gandalf and Radagast.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] scooter1556:
This is possible, in fact there was a time where an empty img file was being incorporated into the NBH where on a windows NBH the system files would normally be copied. A windows NBH consists of a number of parts, I can't remember what they are all called right now, but they can all be merged using NBHmerge. I can't give you specific instructions but there's no reason why it can't be done, not sure it'll be much fun though!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] daedric:
pre-beta that you're testing on HTC What ??
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] n2rjt:
HTC Wizard. I have two of them, which I have named Radagast and Gandalf. It's my all-time favorite smartphone, although it is obviously even more obsolete than the Kaiser. I use one of them as my primary phone whenever Android is giving me fits. Right now I'm testing H3r7 beta 2 preview where the cook has adeptly squeezed WM6.5 into a tiny, fast, stable package.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] PoXFreak:
If I knew that I wouldn't have given my Wizard away...

I thought Ham3r was finished when he hit 6.1 but I stand corrected...pfft.

help androidinstall.tgz

please share for me : file androidinstall.tgz 2.1 or 2.2 but must run wifi and 3G.:D

Send for me by: nguyenvanthang6795@gmail thanks i come from VietNam :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] PoXFreak:
I think with the proper memory map Android could be installed via FrankenKaiser or something of that sort. Something that addresses the NAND directly through OEMSBL, bypassing the need for a HardSPL. Of course the phone would have to be CID unlocked to do this, but I think it's possible to install via CustomRUU if the mapping was done beforehand.

I have read somewhere that NAND marked as bad in the map still gets "written" to, meaning whatever is supposed to go there is put there and never read. Once unmarked the written info comes back, but that requires a full format anyway.

I say very possible...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] n2rjt:
I have stopped trying to do this, but wanted to record my latest thoughts in case someone reads this in the future.

I think the best way to install Android on a Kaiser that can't read its sdcard is to edit the initrd then use recovery mode:

* install adbd so it gets started in recovery mode

* allow the menu when sdcard is not installed

* change scripts to look for /data/andboot

* change recovery mode to mount /data partition to usb

Then, of course, you boot the kernel, use the menu, enter recovery mode, transfer androidinstall.tgz and androidupdate.tgz to /data/andboot, then install system, install updates, clear data, and run. If something doesn't work, adb shell or adb push can help.

I think it's too much work to be worth it on this old phone.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
So i just rooted the phone and installed the virtuous unity rom. When i installed the rom i assumed it would take care of the ram and cpu problems which is why i didn't really care much. But since it didn't solve the problem, i'm starting to wonder where the hell all the cpu and ram power is going. On idle i only have about 150mb of ram available and my cpu is 50% in use. Is this normal? Can anything be done about it?

It's also very noticeable.
[HTC Desire S] boyan.orion:
Strange.

Are you controlling the running services and application-tasks manually ?

I usually have around 400MB free ram and cpu usage is just on the normal range, and an ordinary task manager does the job.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
is your phone running slowly? 150Mb is loads or RAM, have you ever run out?

custom roms tend to make more use of RAM for caches and to improve performance etc....especially if you try sense 3.0 based rom which by nature will be larger.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
How did you manage to get 400mb!?!?!?!?! What rom are you running?

It does lag quite a bit at times which seems to go away after the use of a task killer but i don't use task killers anymore as i failed to see the point in them.

also why does the phone claim to have 768mb when i can only see about 611mb. Is there some memory reserved for the os or something?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
You can't get 400Mb that must be a typo! :D unless you've created a Senseless ROM.

Even when I kill ever process that runs using the the fast reboot market app I still get less than 350Mb!
[HTC Desire S] Numline1:
I have over 400MB free, stock ROM, Settings take nearly 18MB, so my guess is about 418MB free. Based on stock app manager. I have lots of apps, 3G Watchdog running and five full home screens. I had very same situation on previous DS. How much do you have? :)
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
i can't believe my eyes here.....
[HTC Desire S] Numline1:
I just tested it again and there was 440MB (458MB w/o Settings) and about 150MB used. But I'm OT, sorry.
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
With LBC MOD i get

Total memory: 612MB

Used: 424MB

Free: 188MB
[HTC Desire S] chris5s:
Running Virtuous Unity too, atm have 100mb free RAM. Can't say I think th phone is running slow though....
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
Sure not! Tried both roms and they work really FAST!

so the ram available is okay, but the 50% CPU is a problem i guess(i dont have a program to check that)

If you fell that your phone is slow even after wipe and flashing a new rom it might be a hardware issue.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Are you sure that you're not getting the and free and in use figures muddled? :D
[HTC Desire S] boyan.orion:
Check image in attachment.

That's the memory when i kill all unnecessary crap running.

With the needed apps running it varies let's say 350-380MB.

Using stock rom ( europe )
[HTC Desire S] superkid:
:O WOW, maybe is time for me to back to stock!, joking but wow...well, looking in that screen ( on settings) i get

185 MB used and 405 MB free :P
[HTC Desire S] Numline1:
100% sure :)

Hi all,

Had my GS a few weeks now but am in a bit of a predicament. When I received this phone I thought that Three had announced the availability of Gingerbread. However, I had not realised that to update the phone with Kies would require that I had a landline broadband connection as I use the phone with usb tethering for my internet use. This being the case I contacted Three who told me I could take the phone into a certain Car Phone Warehouse that has a service center. I had to leave my phone with them the whole day and when I collected it, they had flashed a rom which is not one of Three's and also took me back from 2.2.1 to 2.2. I also no longer have an option in Settings>About phone, for Check for updates.

I have since used super one click and managed to root it :-) (my first time rooting) and done a backup of /efs as I read that is good as it contains IMEI info etc. Also now have Titanium Backup Pro and done a batch backup of all user apps & system data.

Phone has become quite laggy but reading info on using a different kernel it didn't seem to make sense to do that until after updating the rom.

Is there anything here to explain what the rom file name convention means please? I found the following link on here to the stock firmwares but don't know how to differentiate between the rom names? i.e. how do the following two differ?

Is it possible to root gingerbread 2.3.4 after flashing to one of the above?

As I rely on the phone as my only way to connect to the internet should I also do a Nandroid backup? I've only heard a little of this, my understand is, this is a way of creating an image of the phone as it is now so that it can be re-imaged from this somehow if something goes wrong? Any guides on creating a Nandroid backup please? This isn't the name of an App is it, rather a term or something to do with using terminal?

Am guessing I need to move my Titanium Backup files from /mnt/sdcard/TitaniumBackup somewhere else before flashing or does that not wipe this area?

I've downloaded odin from the thread above so I have v1.82 along with the 3 .pit file versions.

Is there anything else I should do or need before proceeding?

Thanks in advance for any assistance with my understanding of this.

Nandroid backup is a name of app which you can use for complete ROM backup useful in times of complete crash.

Just be careful when flashing. Normally it shouldn't screw up your phone but you need to be careful and ALWAYS read the Instructions in full. I have seen people ruining their phones just because they never read the what they were supposed to BEFORE starting.

All the best!

Thanks for the info.

I've found this guide now to Nandroid, which says the easiest way to get it onto the phone is to install ClockworkMod Rom Manager from the Android Market. I'd previously been looking for Nandroid in the Market.

Hi

Thanks, I did some googling and came to the same conclusion, I think the MTD has something to with Cyanogen.

Anyways, am stuck at the moment at the next snag now in that I appear to have the more recent version of recovery i.e. the 3e instead of 2e needed.

This guide says I need to flash a custom rooted kernel (a CF-Root one) but my Menu > Settings > About Phone, ‘Build Number’ says ‘FROYO.NEJP5’ and I can't see which is the corresponding CF-Root kernel.
