Ups and Downs.

I wanted a Droid X2 when I got My Droid Inc2.

They were sold out of the X2, and the rep behind the counter had a DInc2 that he Let me play around with a bit.

He said his battery life was great and he liked that it wasn't as bulky as the X2 (One of the features that drew me to the Inc2 was its thin size reminded me of my old Razr.

Although at first I regretted my choice to get the DInc2 now that we have root (Thanks AlphaRev, etc.) and I am able to run CM7 I don't regret it at all.

Although I think I might have a bad battery.

every time I pull the phone off the charger when it hits 100% it drops to 97% in seconds. and every once in a while my battery Icon was going to the Grey battery with an ! in the center.

Still testing the battery life with CM7, but on the stock Verizon rom it wouldn't last 6 hours on standby.

I am really looking forward to buying an Extended Battery!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] reckless777:
Sense is a little bothersome and the speakerphone volume could be higher. Other than that, I'm obsessed with it. Still virgin, waiting on the Gingerbread root.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ph1nn:
Yes it's an awesome phone, especially with the gingerbread update.

It's cheaper, thinner, much lighter, and better battery life than the TB. I'm glad I got it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] DrDan21:
With Verizon's new data plans there really isn't a point in 4G anymore
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] collinray:
It is a great phone. With root it is an even better phone. I'm a heavy user and the battery life is really good. I have found that on the stock ROM I don't have to charge until end of day (I am on this thing from 7am to 11pm thanks to work). Miui ROM still has battery drain issues and I am about to jump to CM7 and try out the battery life on it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] TheAtheistReverend:
Really couldn't be happier with my DInc2.

Battery life is SO much better than any other smartphone I have ever used.

3G is plenty for me. Wifi works well too. I wouldn't want the battery drain and connectivity issues with LTE.

It is FAST! It isn't a dual-core, but really? Who needs that? I don't plan on doing video editing, 3D rendering, or anything that should really be done on a computer anyway. It is fast enough for everything I have thrown at it.

It is the perfect size to fit in my pocket while still giving me a large enough screen to view and type easily. Though I would almost say it is too thin;)

Vibrate sucks, but oh well :rolleyes:

Speakerphone isn't the best, but oh well :rolleyes:

Those last two don't really bother me if you can't tell. Don't use'm much anyway.

Now that it's rooted, I really really love my phone! (which is why I am a case-nut)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] shoman24v:
I'm really happy with mine, I love the new phone.

There are two things that bother me.

-Mine had 2.3.3. Can't root it. I want that crap that comes installed off.

-I wish the power button was on the left.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] kapnkream:
I am on the MIUI ROM and for me the battery drain is better than stock.

Sorry for those trying to read this in the xda app. It gets cut off around where it talks about the system size. You can just hit menu/browser and read it that way.

Same one I used and it worked perfectly just try again... follow stangs directions exactly as they're written..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
Guys, if you are gonna report errors here please provide the error status as well.

It will make it easier for me and everyone else to see what you did wrong(not saying anything bad here) and to know what to look for next time.

A lot of problems can be solved by mounting usb through recovery and then transfering your ports over.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cbren:
What do we use the OUTPUT_ZIP ROM for? Is that the "port" that we should be messing with?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
Yes thats the final rom that you zipaligned and rooted in the kitchen. Now take that and put it on your desktop and build it exactly as my instructions say and you should be good.:)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hightech316:
Will there be an " Advanced Porting " Thread? If so can you shed some light on github?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
Im not a compiler. Im a porter. I'm sure we could get some info in here though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
What kind of github info do you need? I'm no where near an expert, but I know how to sync a repo from github to my computer. That's all I've ever needed to do, at least so far.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Thanks for the guide. I ported the stock Evo gingerbread ROM and was able to boot and make calls which was good enough for me for a first port.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
Good job bud!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yojoe600:
nice guide Stang
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dmeadows013:
Wow I'm stupid... Forgot to build the rom in the kitchen after porting it. Just tried to zip it with 7zip. Flashed it, but all I get is the white Incredible splash, then it just reboots into recovery...

Also, does anyone know if this will work on a Mac? My Windows speeds are crawling...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cbren:
I couldn't get it to work, wouldn't sign at the end of building the ROM. But I don't think I had it setup correctly.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
Thanks bud.

Guys, the kitchen comes befoooore you port. Baby steps.

|☆|P U R E|★|S P E E D|☆| V7
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dmeadows013:
Don't you have to build the rom after porting it though? I tried that and it actually flashed, but I didn't get anything...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
Dude try this. Just build your port without useing the kitchen. The only reason I put that in there was because I wanted you guys to get use to adding root, busybox and zipaligning.

So for you and just you I want you to port your EVO Rom without ever touching the kitchen the first time. You'll see why.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] dmeadows013:
Still getting the abort. I think I'm just gonna stop trying for the day and give it a go tomorrow. Even if it doesn't work for me, still an awesome guide man.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
You'll get it bud. That first time you do is such a refief. Ask root how many times it took me, lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dmeadows013:

Hey Stang, wanted to say thanks for the guide, it's great! It's amazing to see resources such as this pop up that explain what needs done.

Just got done booting, and in the same boat as tiny4579, but with the DInc2 GB RUU; boots, calls, not much else at this point. :D

Thanks again!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] thebasuke:
Just ported fresh EVO data, WiFi, gsensor, everything (so far) works! And its quick
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dmeadows013:
Any plans to create a 3.0 porting tutorial? That would be awesome. Also, my leak has no libaudioalsa.so... Will this affect anything?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
Nah don't worry about it. Just make sure you have dragged the audio libs over from our gin leak. You'll be fine.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dmeadows013:
Also, could I do this on a mac? My pc is ancient and slow lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] frostincredible:
Yes, you can. Most my work is done on a Mac. Well, I also have Ubuntu but I use that in very limited amount.

Thanks Tried to port the htc flyer port in the evo forums...and my progress......it boots.....but it bootloops...wish i knew how to fix this
[Droid Incredible Android Development] renzo.olivares:
probably something wrong with your updater-script ive booted the htc flyer runs fine just a a couple of app force closes and resizing issues
[Droid Incredible Android Development] corypaul:
i used the generic updater-script provided in the OP...Question how do yu edit it so i can boot this??

Edit: What i do i edit in it... i relized that i suppose to use notepad++ lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dmeadows013:
I'm having several problems lol:

1: When I try to make a call, the phone pops up a little message saying I'm roaming, even though I'm not. I can browse the web and text, but not call. If there is a way to completely remove Sprint stuff from the rom, that would be awesome. If someone could tell me how to do that, it would be even awesomer lol.

2: Haptic feedback is not working. Again, if someone could help me with this it would be awesome.

3: When I power down the phone, it just goes into hibernate. If someone could help me figure out how to actually power it down or make an option to reboot into recovery that would be great.

Thanks in advance
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
Hey guys, now that most of yall have gotten to where I expected yall to in learning how to port, I've decided to go ahead and start writing the Advanced Porting Guide. It will be a few days. So just hang tight until then.

How would one add trackpad wake/6 bar signal to a rom? For 6 bar I looked at the services.jar, but couldn't find anything.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
Just do a search on here for the trackpad wake and build into your rom. As far as the 6 sig, just pull the systemUI.apk from a rom that has it. It must be from a rom that matches yours.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hightech316:
I had a zio before since. I would if killed for a cm ROM back then. Hook em up joelz!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dmeadows013:
So it has to be from a stock inc GB rom? Also I can't seem to find a trackpad wake that works so is there another way to do it? Also, when I try to edit the services.jar file to make a transparent status bar, I can't seem to find the status folder under com/android/server. Was this removed in Gingerbread?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
Trackpad wake- Find a mod already made. Extract it. Take note of the files inside. Go find one of our roms that has the mod built in. Grab the files out of it that was in the mod you downloaded. Now just put those files into your rom, flash and test. IS THERE A BETTER METHOD?

Transparent Status Bar- You don't edit smali for this one. You edit the images inside the systemUI.apk. Extract the apk to a new folder. Find the images inside. Edit them however you want. Open the original apk and drop your edited image into its respective folder. Then close out of the apk.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wdfowty:
Trackpad wake has to do with the usr directory ;)

The statusbar code you're looking for is in SystemUI.apk, they moved a lot around in GB.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] big_mike_2k6:
What about for a transparent app drawer? I've been trying to figure out what I need to edit for that.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
Oh, well I always just edit the .png's directly. Is that not the right way?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wdfowty:
I honestly don't know, haven't tried it yet. I just know they moved a ton of code from services to systemui in gb.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dmeadows013:
Haha I edited the status_bar_background image, and now my status bar is gone lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
Lol what did you do?

|☆|P U R E|★|S P E E D|☆| V8
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dmeadows013:
Haha not sure. Edited System/app/Systemui.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/Status_bar_background.png

Just painted over the white with black, opacity 40%, saved, and reincorporated into the rom.

I'm starting to think I edited the wrong thing lol
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
You did reboot after you pushed it back to system/app right?

|☆|P U R E|★|S P E E D|☆| V8
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dmeadows013:
I zipped up the rom and reflashed. 3x wipe, dalvik wipes, system, boot wipes
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rosser725:
where are the links to the generic build.prop
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] wayne2410:
Wildstang thanks you for the awesome guide , for example the Evo ported ROM obviously a sprint ROM when ported there are lots of apks removed because their not necessary for a vzw device with vzw service however can one port the Evo ROM with say services, activation etc apks to the incredible running on sprints network?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
I'm sure it can be. I'm just not all to knowledable in that area. Maybe someone who does know could chime in?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] corypaul:
How the advance porting guide coming???
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wayne2410:
Well while I'm hoping that someone will respond I'm going to give you guide a go Trial and error whats the worst that can happen... I have enough devices for backups if needed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Treken:
Good job on the guide! It's been a while since I ported anything. It was in the froyo daze. I'm trying to help someone with a rom that still has the 4G in the settings menu. I de-compiled the settings apk and found the 4G stuff in the wimax enabler and the strings file. I deleted all the 4G stuff and tried to re-compile, but it had some errors and wouldn't compile. here is the errors:

Exception in thread "main" brut.androlib.AndrolibException: brut.directory.PathNotExist: apktool.yml

at brut.androlib.Androlib.readMetaFile(Unknown Source)

at brut.androlib.Androlib.build(Unknown Source)

at brut.androlib.Androlib.build(Unknown Source)

at brut.apktool.Main.cmdBuild(Unknown Source)

at brut.apktool.Main.main(Unknown Source)

Caused by: brut.directory.PathNotExist: apktool.yml

at brut.directory.AbstractDirectory.getFileInput(Unknown Source)

... 5 more

I used ApkManager to decompile this which, afaik, the kitchen uses as well. It would be good to know for those that manually build their roms. I use github but am working on some other projects to fascilitate in rom development so really can't be pushing and pulling and testing and blah blah blah.

The only reason I brought up the removing 4G stuff is cause there are numerous roms that need the carrier changed on the menu and now that there is 4G, we'll be needing to remove 4G from the settings menu.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Treken:
I will be posting this post on the greenromproject forums. Thanks again
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wildstang83:
Well bud I'm still learning to do that myself. One thing I do know is you must have your com.htc.resources.apk and framework-res.apk installed into your path. I you don't know if your familiar with apktool but I would suggest that you look at that atleast just for decompiling and compiling your .apks. I do really like Apk Manager but I for sure prefer apktool for decompiling and recompiling.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] NilsP:
With ApkManager even with my framework and resources registered I keep a copy of whatever ROM I am working on com.htc.resources.apk in the folder. When prompted I always drag it into the window and it gets rid of those brut errers
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wdfowty:
I think what you're doing wrong is typing ".apk" at the end of the build command. What you need to do is type the name of the folder it decompiled to. for example:

apktool d Settings.apk

Creates a folder called "Settings" in your current directory. Do your editing, then:

apktool b Settings

It should build just fine now. I've had this happen to me before lol.

Edit: lol, I should really read before replying. Yeah, I don't really use apkmanager. I think you may have renamed the apk or project folder after decompiling, or have the wrong project selected. I don't think it's anything to do with dependencies, as apktool can't find the .yml file for building, which means it can't find the project directory.

Try apktool, and see if the same error exists.

Here are a few ideas of things to investigate. These are ideas that work on the Atrix with Android 2.2.2.

1. 2nd-init, I am highly confident this will work for the Droid X2.

2. /preinstall, is it mounted nosuid? If not, easier root. I can help with a hacked copy of su, that just works.

I know all about the phone's GPS issues... They've been well logged. In maps or nav, I get a lock no problem down to 2-3 meters and it's totally accurate. Any other app that tries to use it, however, is a different story. Neither Minimal Text or any of the other weather widget apps I've tried to use have let me lock onto the city I'm in. I let Minimal Text sit at "Unknown..." for hours before I gave up and tried to use a different app. Genie Widget (news and weather) works just fine, but any non-Google app struggles.

Is there some sort of permission I'm missing out on? I was running AOSP on my Evo forever and never had such a strange happening.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viclovescourtney:
So I was able to easily unlock the bootloader but when trying to install recovery I get the following: "error cannot load recovery.img" Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I have fastboot and recovery.img in same folder so I'm not sure what the problem is. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'd really like to install Kens rom and restore my phone to my liking.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xenocyde:
First not a major issue your just not typing something right or not placed right

Lets do this !

2nd Please Remove install_recovery.sh located in your /system/etc/ ,so that the recovery will not be overwrite to stock one.

you dont HAVE to it will still work just wont have the stock recovery.

1st make sure the moto-fastboot or fastboot (they both work i have tested )file is in your c:\

you have to cd the drive first so make sure its in c:\ the commands on the guide for cwm needs

to be updated this will help you out.FYI make sure all the files are in one folder not the root drive

so name a folder (whatever) then cd that folder from cmd.

Dont use " " just showing you commands

Then go to cmd

"cd c:\moto-fastboot" or fastboot

click enter

then type "moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029.img" or fastboot

click enter

Should say writing\sending

Once your done and it completes

type moto-fastboot reboot or fastboot

enter

P.S. Depending on if your using fastboot or moto-fast boot

commands would be

"fastboot flash recovery recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029.img" Fastboot

"moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029.img" moto-fastboot

And if you were wondering

Moto-fastboot is for bigger files

fastboot is for smaller files

They both work because the recovery is in

the middle in size for both fastboots.
