I had to SBF back to stock

Root with Gingerbreak

Install recovery apk

Wipe data & cache

Install ROM

Install my apps

system panel app from the market will work
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
SysInfo is a good little free widget that I use. You have to customize it to show RAM on the widget (uncheck one default option) but it's great. Check it out...
[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
Va? Virginia? I'm from California, bout 30 miles from Sacramento.

I think I will leave Launcher2 as the default launcher, because of how small it is.
[Motorola Droid X2] droided1:
Read DroidLife's posting that the soaktest for gingerbread went well, and could see a full release within next couple days. Curious to see how this will affect our root, which guessing we'll lose it. Then, have to work on root again...
[Motorola Droid X2] mario9702:
Flashed Rom, install went smooth, no wipe done. Also I have installed launcher pro plus and it is running smooth... did have to reboot after installing launcher pro because it felt a little laggy. Great rom!!!
[Motorola Droid X2] SciReal:
On the Fascinate, you would not even receive the OTA notice with root. You has to ODIN back to stock and then OTA update. I suspect you will need to SBF and factory reset back to stock in order to OTA.

[Motorola Droid X2] XGrinder911:
Hmmm is it just me or does the battery icon not look so 'qhd' anymore.. maybe the stock bar was low res to look that way?

I LIKE;) Buuuut Uh how are people getting 200mb free?

DX2
[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
It might be because when I edited the build.prop I changed the led density to 240 which I believe is what the X1 uses. It doesn't change the resolution, but makes everything slightly larger because the X2 had the led density of 225 by default, which makes everything annoyingly smaller.

For the next release I'll rework the battery icons to have a higher dpi so if it does stretch it wont be low res looking.
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
SciReal-

You are correct, that we need to be 100% stock to get the OTA. Here is my question - will we be notified of an available update when not on stock? I keep spamming my system update button waiting to see something so I can SBF back. I'm wondering if it's a lost cause b/c I'm rooted and on a custom ROM.

Can anyone help on this one? I'm dying for some GB, root or not. I can always SBF back to froyo and recover my backup if I start jonesing for it...
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
Are you sure man? I'm could of swore the x2 was at 240 by default...
[Motorola Droid X2] zakth:
False information. The soak test has NOT stated. I know because I'm in it.
[Motorola Droid X2] zakth:
240 is default, was changed in min x.
[Motorola Droid X2] SciReal:
I'm not sure brother. I thought the DEVs for the fascinate intentionally removed the OTA feature so no one lost root inadvertently.

Anyone else have a clue?

[Motorola Droid X2] SciReal:
The support pages at Verizon's website show all of the update material. You can even download the .pdf files showing how to update and what it fixes.

Sent from my DROID X2
[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
You guys are right. 240 is the x2 default. My mistake.
[Motorola Droid X2] droided1:
Its been my experience on dx and tbolt that if you check for updates, it will let you know when there is one, but you never push it.
[Motorola Droid X2] droided1:
Then you obviously aren't in it :) just joking.
[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
lol off-topic much? :P
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
Saint-

Back on-topic. To be honest, I don't think the battery icon has ever looked better! I don't see any pixels...

Looks real smooth. Loving this ROM man...
[Motorola Droid X2] droided1:
I'd invite you to re-read :P

Was responding to wolf's question in regards to notifications if an update is available and how my experience has been on previous models.
[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
Nah I read it, just playing around.
[Motorola Droid X2] MikeJ92YJ:
So Is The Hype Really Worth It, What's This ROMs Key Features? Love To Get Alil Knowledge Prior To Flashing Please?
[Motorola Droid X2] MikeJ92YJ:
Gingerbreak Was Designed For Gingerbread. My Hope Is It Will Work.
[Motorola Droid X2] droided1:
Seems to be, havent heard anything bad about it. Im getting ready to download it and install on my phone here in a few. Kudos for including the alarm clock and calendar :)
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
It's smooth as butter and easy on the eyes. Running the same Supercharge value I ran before, I have about 90-105 free RAM at any given time. Had one reboot when I first started it up and was theming ADW. Corporate Sync works, calendar works - hell, I haven't found anything that doesn't work.

It's debloated, simple, and completely works for me. If you're looking for hype, keep looking. This ROM doesn't disappoint...
[Motorola Droid X2] MikeJ92YJ:
That's All I Needed Thanks mista, Proceeding To The SBF Now. :cool:
[Motorola Droid X2] droided1:
Why are you going the SBF route? Should just be able to wipe 3x and install the zip. Just curious if there was any specific reason or just your method.
[Motorola Droid X2] reignofernie:
In my experience with this, if you had debloated your app already, then installing this rom doesn't give system apps back. So if you SPF, you get the system apps back and then it debloats unwanted ones.
[Motorola Droid X2] droided1:
Ah ok, that makes sense. Looks like I'll have to read up on the SBF procedure, thanks.
[Motorola Droid X2] MikeJ92YJ:
Please Don't Take This As Combative Or Augmentative I'm Just Relaying The Message From The OP.

"To install this ROM, you MUST be on an unmodified stock install. I tried installing over the stock ROM with a couple of system files missing and it ended up needing an SBF flash."
[Motorola Droid X2] CominWitDaSauce:
I didn't sbf and I was running super charger, should I un charge for those who use this rom?
[Motorola Droid X2] kenjesse:
The X2 is my first Android phone which I got a little over a month ago, rooted it the 1st week and have been trolling the forums trying to get educated ever since. Let me 1st thank everyone posting here on XDA as well as all the other forums for providing such a wealth of information and knowledge. That out of the way onto the topic…this is the 1st ROM I’ve flashed since my Sony Clie…

Muddled through flashing the ROM this morning and have been playing with it all day. After installing System Tuner, File Expert, Script Manager and Quadrant on reboot I had 175mb free memory. I then ran Quadrant 5 times back-to-back with the following results:

2748/2824/2880/2674/2941 for an average of 2808.8

After this I installed Launcher Pro and Fancy Widget (both free, as are all the apps I use for now; bad economy and all) along with Google Maps & Search Update, Juice Defender (balanced setting), Dolphin HD and Boat Mini Browser, SD Speed Increase and a few other utility apps. On booting I’m getting around 145mb free memory and after an hour or so still above 100mb. Did another run with Quadrant that produced the following scores:

2610/2862/2880/2911/2742 for an average of 2801.0

Forgot to mention that I have had WiFi and GPS enabled at all times… with all this in mind I have to add my voice to all the others that have reported this ROM ROCKS!! It has been rock solid stable all day with very heavy use. No random reboots, no lagging, no dropped calls, just SOLID & STABLE

.

The only bug I have run into is not being able to install the Calendar Widget, goes thru the setup process just fine but when I tap done…no Widget. The Calendar itself launches fine from the shortcut though. As for Launcher2 I find Launcher Pro smoother and snappier as well as having the ability to tweak it thru its own settings. Oh and I did replace the wallpaper with my favorite Betty Page tweaked wallpaper.

In closing I don’t think Lewis & Clark created the territory from the Mississippi to the West Coast but they sure blazed one hell of a trail thru it. Seems to me that Saint Isaiah and C21Johnson may not have written their ROM’s from the ground up but they sure as hell are the Lewis and Clark of the X2 ROM territory and my hats off to them for their efforts and as soon as I can spring for a few beers they will be on the way. Keep up the good work!!!!

(sorry for the long post just hoping my 1st one is useful…:o)
[Motorola Droid X2] zakth:
Installed the ROM this morning from stock. Wiped data, cache, dalvik and battery status (to start with a clean slate). I must say that I am very impressed with how stable and snappy this ROM is. I have yet to encounter any bugs so hopefully that trend continues.
[Motorola Droid X2] MikeJ92YJ:
I Can Deodex This ROM Without Any Problem Right?
[Motorola Droid X2] funkencool:
Downloading and getting ready to flash now, I'll flash my theme over and let you know if there's any problems(don't see why there would be though). And thanks for the time you put into this, its greatly appreciated.

and I probably missed something earlier but does this mean teamBAMF is gonna support dx2?
[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
Hey guys,

Sorry about the calendar widget bug. I'm working on that right now to fix the issue.

Mr. Clown did ask me to post the kernel source for GPL compliance. Anyone understand and could tell me what I need to post because I'm not sure what to do.
[Motorola Droid X2] zakth:
From what I understand you need to upload the kernel source code to a Git hub. But seeing how the kernel for our device is locked away I don't see how that is possible.
[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
Yeah that's partially why I was asking because the X2 having the locked bootloader prevents any access to the kernel. Is there any possibility he's asking for some other kernel that I could access or does the phone only use one?
[Motorola Droid X2] zakth:
The phone only has one. And AFAIK there is no source on the internet that you could access. IMHO, this rom does not provide a kernel and as such should not have to provide one for the purpose of GPL.
[Motorola Droid X2] DjLuBe:
Is anybody else losing widgets its been happening alot I can keep any widgets to apps I download dont get it
[Motorola Droid X2] MikeJ92YJ:
Deodexing

Process Of Deodexing Worked Flawlessly. Anyone Thinking About It There Was No Errors At All.
[Motorola Droid X2] droided1:
But restoring a nandroid backup would do the same thing correct? Like me, I made a nandroid backup of everything before installing MinimalX. If I restore that stock backup, it should work and basically give me my stock image back, and then just installing Affinity would work. At least thats what Im thinking... comments?
[Motorola Droid X2] onemotodroid:
You are correct restore your stock nandroid

Backup

That will work
[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
Indeed, restoring a backup that is stock will work as well. I'll edit the OP to state that.

Nobody has bought me a beer yet...*sadface*
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
Once payday hits I'll throw you some bones.

Another thing fantastic about this build is the boot time. I have all of my screens loaded in about half the time it usually takes.

Ran into a weird bug: Went to respond to a text in GoSMS and the screen just went black. It went away when I used the back button. Went to the stock application and it turned white. Same thing - went away when I backed udp.d

Just rebooted, we'll see if it happens again.

UPDATE: It's still happening even after a reboot. Not good. Going to try and fix permissions, but I'll have to uninstall if it doesn't fix itself. Texting is crucial...
[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
I appreciate the donation.

As far as the testing thing, I'm not getting that white screen. I haven't tried GoSMS on this rom, but maybe it's conflicting with the stock texting app. I'll install it and see what happens.

I'm assuming you did change the input method to multi touch or swype?
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
I have always used SmartKeyboardPro - and I just figured out it was a bug with that. Changed to multi-touch and all is well.

Well that sucks, I paid for SmartKeyboard. I'll take down my recent post in general asking for help.

ROM screams man!
[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
Glad you figured out the issue, cause I just tried GoSMS and no problems occurred on my end. I'll do some tinkering and see if I can figure out what the incompatibility is with my ROM and smartkeyboard.
[Motorola Droid X2] mistawolfe:
It worked fine all day yesterday.

Weird.
[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
Check your PM when you can.
[Motorola Droid X2] LancerV:
I can't go dialer to work as the default dialer kinda weird
[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
Sorry, say again? Not quite understanding.
[Motorola Droid X2] LancerV:
Go dialer, when I hit the call button it doesn't give me an option to choose a different dialer like it usually foes
[Motorola Droid X2] mario9702:
Been running the rom since yesterday afternoon still running smooth.

Quick question is everyone else's Voicemail apk missing? I assume this was part of the bloat removed.
[Motorola Droid X2] reignofernie:
you probably set it up to use it as the default. Go to settings, applications, and then clear the launch by default.
[Motorola Droid X2] LancerV:
Nope cleared all defaults
[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
Doesn't make much sense either because this is running the stock phone apk
[Motorola Droid X2] aricus:
I am a bit confused. I got to the recovery part. And I have the zip on the phone (internal AND external) but how do I install the zip? It's a zip. I can extract it but how do I run it? I see there are A LOT of APKs in it but I am so confused on how to get it to "run"
[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
Ok so when you're in recovery, after wiping the data and cache, you select the install zip from sd card, select choose zip to install, select the rom zip and confirm, then it will start installing.
[Motorola Droid X2] aricus:
I don't see that option there. I have:

Android System Recoery Utility

reboot system now

apply sdcard:update.zip

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

Nothing says anything about installing or selecting that zip. I even tried to rename the zip to update.zip and it didn't take
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
may I but in?

apply sd card :update.zip
[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
The recovery you are speaking of is the stock Android Recovery. You need to get the bootstrap app and use the bootstrap recovery to flash this rom.

I edited the OP and included the link to the bootstrap app.
[Motorola Droid X2] AsaSpades:
Installed this rom earlier and so far so good. But I just noticed, im not sure if this is a general X2 problem, or if its just my phone or the rom, but my battery died for the first time today and when I plugged it in it just stopped at the dual core screen. It continues to do this and I have to pull the battery which just does it again, I have to wait for the battery to charge enough at that screen then pull the battery and turn it on and plug it back in. Anyone else experience this?
[Motorola Droid X2] blindy107:
ok i am 100% new to phone modding but thinking about trying this for my first ROM flash. the directions are great but i was wondering if your stated "unmodified build minus root and recovery" includes things like supercharger, build.prop changes and bloat freezing?

as others have said, thanks for the work you put in. i'll post again if i get the balls to try it.
[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
Your best bet is to flash the rom over a completely stock install. The root and recovery app are the only two things that should have been done to the phone prior to flashing.

Having build.prop edits and frozen bloat apparently can cause problems with the flashing, because the rom is looking for those specific apps and files to delete before installing the apps provided in the zip.
[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
Yeah that's definitely something I haven't encountered in any of the alpha or beta build of the ROM. Anyone experience this at all?

Might also be a good Idea to wipe the battery stats before flashing or charging the battery and recalibrating it with the battery calibration app after flashing. Because I'm getting about 18-20 hours of light use without needing to charge. Today I've had the phone off the charger for 8 hours so far, using it to reply to my topic regularly throughout the day and I'm still at 70%.
[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
Just posted the official topic at DROID Forums under my username "Haiasi".
[Motorola Droid X2] Xyzodiac:
Can I just say this ROM is amazing? I love everything about it from the sheer speed to the dark minimal theme (that battery indicator rocks) Thank you so much and keep up the awesome work!
[Motorola Droid X2] zakth:
Not to get off topic but I really hope we see a GB version of this not long after GB comes out :)
[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
Oh don't worry, I'll provide some GB love.
[Motorola Droid X2] zakth:
Just a heads up, I installed the 3G V6 mod and the Kernel mod... made my phone constantly reboot. Not sure what the cause was but if anyone else is thinking of doing that you might want to reconsider.
[Motorola Droid X2] AsaSpades:
Happened to me too, I think its because of the build.prop. Anyone know how to prevent this? I had to SBF.
[Motorola Droid X2] DAG425:
Does anybody know if the phone will wake up from the sleep state for an alarm that is set???? I would like to be able to charge the phone before I go to sleep and then put it to sleep and not have it run and use up the battery or be plugged in all night, but i don't want the alarm to not go off....

UPDATE: Tested it and the phone will not wake up from sleep to sound an alarm that has been set....
[Motorola Droid X2] aricus:
THANK YOU! It seems booting into the right recovery mode makes ALL the difference in the world! Great job
[Motorola Droid X2] tracyde:
Where did you get the bootstrap app for the X2?
[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
I got it from another topic in this forum section.

UPDATE: Got most of the blur apps replaced with AOSP versions. Next version of the beta should be ready this weekend.
[Motorola Droid X2] MikeJ92YJ:
c21johnson Was The Original Creator For The Bootstrap All Credit Goes To Him.
[Motorola Droid X2] zakth:
Correction: He discovered the bootstrap on the same Chinese website that he found the Rom which was the base of his Rom. He did not develop the bootstrap himself nor did he ever make such claim.
[Motorola Droid X2] MikeJ92YJ:
You're Right I Worded That Wrong, It Was In Reference To Him Translating To English. I'm Not Aware Of What He Took From The Chinese And Altered Considering It's All Koush's Code As Far As I Know For Clockworkmod. Any Others With More Input Or Corrections Loved To Hear To Get This Straight.

Thanks To You All,

Great job on this, really! This has been my rom of choice since you released it.

Keep up the good work, and good luck when development starts for Gingerbread. :D
[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
Thanks Nick!

I'm testing the next beta version now, so it'll probably be released tomorrow night or Monday afternoon. More AOSP in this new version and I have incorporated some of mike's tweaks to speed the phone up.
[Motorola Droid X2] zetsumeikuro:
Will it be GB or Froyo?
[Motorola Droid X2] juhde:
He didn't translate it into english, the way the apk is now is the exact same way it was on the original web site.
[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
The next version will still be for Froyo as will future releases. However, I will be starting development of a GB version, named "Affinity GB", while continuing development of my Froyo ROM. One the Froyo ROM reaches Official 1.0, I will put all my development into GB.
[Motorola Droid X2] zetsumeikuro:
Thanks for the info.:D
[Motorola Droid X2] ferg40:
Is it even worth the trouble now that gb is out and its rooted?
[Motorola Droid X2] HelpMeJebus:
Yes. Most definitely worth it.
[Motorola Droid X2] ryman222:
Great Job
[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
Thanks Ry!

I'm battling some updater-script issues at the moment, but once I figure out the issues and do a couple test flashes, expect TWO rom releases tonight. The next and possibly last (depends on the demand) of the Froyo ROM and the initial release of Affinity GB. Both releases will be fully deodexed, have a bit of AOSP love and 3g, kickass kernel and v6 included.
[Motorola Droid X2] armopride07:
great job on the rom. its awesome! can you post a DL link to the wallpaper? thanks =]
[Motorola Droid X2] MrWilliams2:
Any updates on the new ROM's?
[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
Still have this same updater-script problem. I have all my files to replace everything inside the system folder, but I can't figure out how to properly format the system so only the contents of my ROM will be there.

Anyone here know what the proper command is to format the system or at least delete everything in that folder? Everything I've tried so far is a bust and its the only thing preventing a release.
[Motorola Droid X2] Saint Isaiah:
Here you go.
