Sony Experia has less system memory included, Samsung has more memory included, both devices have expandable memory up to 32gb. Sony has a bigger display and a 3.2 megapixel cam while Samsung has a slightly smaller display and a 3 megapixel cam. I would go for the Samsung nonetheless:)
[General Questions and Answers] gadibo:
the bigger display, the easier to use in-phone keyboard. i think :)

I'm pretty happy with my Galaxy Mini. The only issues I have are:

you can't scan QR tags as it has a fixed focus camera

it's memory space is quite limited

The X8 appears to also have both of these issues (with less memory than the Mini), so maybe widen your search if these will be problems for you. Otherwise I'd happily recommend the Mini.
[General Questions and Answers] manooti:
I'm in need of some genuine advice here. I think I screwed up, but I'm not sure.

Here's the run down.

-My plan allows me to upgrade every 22 months on Sprint.

-I have 8 months to go.

-Currently using Evo 4g with the $69.99 Simply Everything Data (450 minutes and unlimited everything else). This only allows me to upgrade every 22 months, as stated.

-Rooted and g2g, but lets face it.. need to be on bleeding edge. Hence my decision as follows.

I called up Sprint multiple times and did my best to flirt with the female reps to help me out, although it went very well, they just couldn't do it.

What I was told by the latest rep was that I should upgrade to the $89.99 plan with 900 minutes so that way my premier status would change to Gold. Then I would be able to upgrade in 3 months time, or 1 year total for full discount on upgrade. She was really helpful and not a bad flirt either lol. Anyway... moving on... Just changed my plan to the $89.99 and I was thinking if I should pay the 3 months in advance to be able to upgrade at full discount before the 3 months acceptance time into the Premier Gold status.

A part of me is anxiously waiting for the Samsung Galaxy S2; Samsung Epic Touch 4g. Now I just found out the Nexus Prime is about to make its debut so I'm at a loss for words. The bleeding edge of tech really sucks.

Please advise me if I have made any wrong doing here. My bill will basically not change after the 3 months because I do get 20% off for working at Petco. Didn't apply it yet because they told me it would reset my upgrade status completely. Just waiting on upgrading my phone so that I can apply it.

OH! And if anyone can kindly guide me to a comparable chart with user feedback between the Photon 4g and the Galaxy S2 would be awesome. I did see the Photon has some bugs with muted calls but not sure if it is a major problem or any other problem not mainstream yet? Also did find the Photon is rooted but not sure if I would go that route because of how moto has treated prior bootloaders.

Sorry for the long post.

Over the course of Sunday (9/4/2011) I learned that it is possible to almost flawlessly port Atrix 4G ROM's (excluding CM7!) to Droid X2. They are fully functional minus some cosmetic changes that need to be made for CDMA/Verizon. Over the course of the next week I will be porting some ROM's to Droid X2. If you want to learn more about it then join us on IRC irc.freenode.net #droidx2 :)

Your a busy one, Naven! Your hacks here, plus porting these ROMS over, AND your supporting your EC09 kernel over at the Fascinate?! I thank you for your hard work and contributing efforts.
[Motorola Droid X2] Xilo Pryce:
Would these roms be based on 2.3.4? If so, would it giver the better support for the dual core processor?
[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:
This is what I'd like to know and just if anyone can say what good ROM's are out for it?
[Motorola Droid X2] Sandso9:
omg if you can port over the alien rom id be in heaven :)
[Motorola Droid X2] navenedrob:
Basically, go have a look at the Atrix 4G Development Forum. That will give you some kind of an idea. Anything based on Blur 2.3.3 and up and Nvidia Tegra 2 250 AP20H chips seems to be game. The Atrix works well because it is practically the same phone as the Droid X2.
[Motorola Droid X2] ericerk:
Does that mean no custom roms? Also i hate to say/ ask, why no cm7?

Regardless YOUR SIR ARE EPIC, THANKYOU!!!!!!!

Does that Mean the bootloader could also be ported, in its fully unlocked glory?
[Motorola Droid X2] MikeJ92YJ:
I'll Be Looking Forward To What You Bring Over. Everyday Things Keep Getting Better For The DX2 Owners. I Still Can't Believe Dev's Were Gonna Just Pass This Phone By. There's WAY To Much Potential And Thanks To You Naven, You're Making It Happen. Great Way To Start The Week. Thanks Alot!

[Motorola Droid X2] gnuworldorder:
how would this work? i thought that everything had to be signed for it to run?
[Motorola Droid X2] hackthis02:
Would that mean it's possible to unlock the boot loader too?
[Motorola Droid X2] L2_n19h7m4r3:
Checking out the Atrix threads I came across this...

[MOD] Webtop Via HDMI Without a Dock *NEW* Added support for 4.5.91 (Untested) *NEW*

Would that be possible to bake into an X2 ROM? I'm not quite sure if the webtop function on the atrix is software or hardware based.
[Motorola Droid X2] wdenker:
You are the man! I can't wait.
[Motorola Droid X2] the2dcour:
No. The bootloader is signed. Even the international [Atrix] users couldn't use the ATT/USA bootloader, one had to be made specifically for them.
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
Mod :delete please
[Motorola Droid X2] sawyers70:
Boner alert!
[Motorola Droid X2] ericerk:
Instead could 2nd init be placed in it to give a similar effect?

Like in cm7 for lack of bl, because otherwise doesn't that mean we have to stay on blur based roms, and never get any actual custom roms?
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
I think you can have custom roms, but they have to be tweaked to work with the stock kernel.
[Motorola Droid X2] SwiftLegend:
Cool, hope everything works out. Alien rom looks awesome, that should be the first one ported :P
[Motorola Droid X2] DAG425:

[Motorola Droid X2] 0vermind:
naven: Let's put our differences aside, agree to disagree and what not, and I extend my apology to our little disagreement a few days ago. I am definitely in on this porting project. :)

Those talking about the 2nd-init: cvpcs touched on the topic in his blog. Apparently, his has found a way to implement the 2nd-init hack to hijack how the kernel loads, essentially making it possible to load custom kernels.
[Motorola Droid X2] DAG425:
Really...!!! And just when I thought it couldn't get any better!!! My mother was right!!! "Good things come to those who wait!"
[Motorola Droid X2] hackthis02:
Give me an overclockable kernel and a AOSP based ROM and I'll be one happy camper.
[Motorola Droid X2] Meticode:
I hope this eventually happens as well. I wonder what type of improvements a over-clocked dual-core X2 processor could do and how high you could over-clock it?
[Motorola Droid X2] the2dcour:
Root + 2nd init means you can do ALMOST anything an unlocked phone can do, besides replace the kernel and straight flash unsigned partitions via fastboot.\

Init is loaded by the kernel... Either you misunderstood what he said or it's complete BS. Maybe he's working on kexec or to hijack the kernel loading earlier in the boot sequence.

[Motorola Droid X2] the2dcour:
I hope it didn't seem like I was attacking you. I just wanted to squash some misinformation before people got a warm fuzzy feeling in their tummies.

From the blog post:

I think this is where you might have gotten confused. Basically his new 2nd init runs on both kernels [Froyo and Gingerbread], without modification. It does not modify or load any kernel.

That being said, someone should try and work on kexec in case you never get unlocked? It never really panned out for us with the Atrix but maybe you guys will have better luck.
[Motorola Droid X2] sn1p3r6992:
I'm so excited to see what this brings to the table. Hopefully this will help our devs in their quest for a full custom rom.

[Motorola Droid X2] Sandso9:
How are we able to flash 2.3.4 being on 2.3.3 without a boot loader unlock unless Motorola releases an update?
[Motorola Droid X2] gnuworldorder:
my only guess is that for some reason the bootloader would accept atrix images because motorola was lazy and cut corners
[Motorola Droid X2] mario9702:
Awesome can't wait to try it out!
[Motorola Droid X2] mazz0310:
Because we are using 2nd init. You don't need to flash the bootloader or anything like that, it's the same reason the Droid X can run CM7
[Motorola Droid X2] gnuworldorder:
but if its using init.d 2nd hack doesnt it still have the original kernel?
[Motorola Droid X2] the2dcour:
removed duplicate information
[Motorola Droid X2] Sandso9:
That makes sense I forgot about 2nd init.
[Motorola Droid X2] mazz0310:
It does have the same kernel, you don't need to use the new kernel to take advantage of a different OS/ROM. Just like again, on the Droid X it was using the Froyo kernel but running CM7 which is Gingerbread (2nd init was just recently ported to support Gingerbread)
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
Init.d and 2nd init are 2 completely different things.
[Motorola Droid X2] gnuworldorder:
wait whats the difference? i thought it was just people being lazy and not writing it all out
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
http://cvpcs.org/blog/2011-06-14/2nd-init._what_it_is_and_how_it_works

This is 2nd init.

If I understand right, init.d hack is a function of 2nd init, it only handles scripts that run at startup.

I'm actually going to be releasing stock 2.3.4 tonight. This will be 4.5.91 release from Atrix 4G. It is stock, but it has bells and whistles to make it smooth. Any 4.5.91 Atrix 4G mods currently in their community will work on this ROM. That means you can just flash any theme or mod they have for 4.5.91 :) Tomorrow, when I have more time, I will probably put up Alien. I've looked through their ROM's, and to be perfectly honest, most of them are just different themes on top of stock. I won't port every ROM, but I will make a poll to see what people want most :)

Naven thanks for all your hard work!

One question, will your tweaks be cooked into your roms or ports? If so that would be awesome, not to mention a bit more convienient.
[Motorola Droid X2] navenedrob:
This is a good question!

All of the ROM's ported to the X2 will go through the ringer. That means that they will be stripped down and cleaned out. All of their mods will be looked at, and if there is a way to make them more efficient or better then it will be done. That also means if the ROM's include things that do not benefit the overall experience, they will be excluded from the port. Some things that will be excluded by default are things like kernels, or other enhancements that only benefit the prior carrier.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sliverworm:
I own a captivate phone but didn't bother to buy an external SD card and am cheap so I didn't bother to buy one since I'm happy with the amount of internal storage. The thing is I wasn't happy with the out of the box performance of the phone or lack of customization available. So I began to look for my options of flashing ROMs.

I searched and googled myself tired with no luck on how to do this WITHOUT an SD card, so I gave up and vaguely followed most of the wiki's I did find. I'll give you a breif overview of my process which I have been able to successfully flash Cyanogenmod 7RC1 without trouble, (I suspect you can do the same with other ROMs too)

Things you need

Root (superoneclick)

If you're running stock 2.2 3e signature failure fix script + update.zip(found it here in XDA)

Clockwork ROMmanager

Phone.

Process

Open Clockwork > Flash Clock Recover using Captivate MTD(Yes to the popups) > Download ROM(I picked Cyanogen 7 RC1 + Gapps.

DO NOT ATTEMPT INSTALL YET

Cancel out of the popup that appears after the ROM is done downloading.

Back to Clock choose >Install ROM from SD Card and find and select the .zip file the default location is clockworkmod/download/download.cyanogenmod.com/get/update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-Captivate.zip

After you choose that leave the default settings, and your phone should reboot into Recover mode with the green text indicating you're in Clockwork.

Once you're in Clockwork choose > Install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard > find your update-cm-7blahblahblah.zip file. The next step your phone will begin the flashing process.

On your next reboot you'll notice a new boot screen indicating it's flashed to your choosen ROM. On your first boot open Clockwork again and choose to install ROM from sdcard again. This time find your gapps.zip file and go thru the same process to install your gapps.

Finally...

you're done.

Sorry for the poor formatting but I hope you can follow this and maybe it will help somebody else as cheap as me..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
Yeah, that's how you flash any Rom. And you can flash gapps before your first reboot.

Hi Dev Guys..

I was testing the CM7 build, but i need all camare resources working well.. Then, i was intended to rollback to stock froyo rom..

But, i like to play games like NOVA on milestone and, every know that multitouch is so worst on stock then CM7... I think is because the kernel used in this custom roms...

Then i ask... Can I use this kernel on my stock Rom? How Can i apply and find the necessary file??

jorgebaruchi ,

Yes, the touchscreen in CM7 is much less sensitive, than on froyo, but less buggy also.

But as I know, CM7 is also built on 2.2 kernel, so, do not really think that you will have any benefit of CM7 kernel. Touchscreen response is hidden somewhere in hardware libs, so, it is very difficult to find and fix it.
[Milestone 2 General] jorgebaruchi:
Actually, i prefer a less sensitive touch but with a multitouch working fine..

Then, the point is... can i install that kernel or the gb leakek kernel on my stock rom?
[Milestone 2 General] dangpzanco:
Multitouch is not provided by a modded kernel, but by a kernel module (posted above). You can load it with insmod or flash CM7/MIUI to apply it.

[Milestone 2 General] jorgebaruchi:
Thanks Man!! Correct if i´m wrong.. If I apply this patch, that the propose is expand the multitouch limits, it will fix the multitouch issue in fps games, like NOVA ???

Yeps, it works fine for me.
[Milestone 2 General] jorgebaruchi:
ok,Tks man.. i will try this module again.. but, just for curiosit, how did u extract the kernel for on the CM7 ROM ?
[Milestone 2 General] mkmck:
Hmmm... I think this mod is not fixing the MT bug unfortunately. It lets you expand the limitation of MT points but the bug will still exist. I've been using this mod, so I know that. Or maybe I missed something? Anyway, it didn't fix this bug for me. And now I am using the ms2ginger which is totally free of it :D
[Milestone 2 General] jorgebaruchi:
yeah, i had tested this module at the morning and nothing change in NOVA.. now i apply the CM7 1.5 RC and its so easiler to play...

lets contribute for the community.. =)
