[Motorola Droid X2] Moon Shadow - NM:
I was testing the first pre-alpha build. That was before DZK's classes became a bear. Since then (about 2 months ago roughly), he is concentrating on his classes. As soon as things lighten up for him (read: probably summer break) he will probably pick things back up. I talked with him last night and he is still committed to CM7DX2 and CM9DX2. Something else that will help, I have a new laptop (Linux) that I can begin helping him out (as much as I can with my limited knowledge). All we are asking is patience. We both understand that everyone with a DX2 wants the rebase of CM7 and the release of CM9. With CM9 though, there are going to be some major hurdles that will have to be overcome since CM9 is a complete code re-write and the fact that CM9 is based on ICS AOSP. ICS does things much differently than Gingerbread.

For those who are new to the DX2 community, welcome! Also, when DZK went to work on CM7, he had the Alpha build out in roughly a week and the stable RC release about 3 days after that. He is a committed DX2 developer and wants to provide a smooth, working, and as close to flawless, CM9 ROM as possible.

For those that are chomping at the bit for CM9, think about this. Would you rather have CM9 in a pre-alpha state that DOESN'T work and just looks pretty, or would you rather have CM9 in a WORKING state? Personally, I would rather have CM9 in a working state.

The pre-alpha that I was testing had MANY problems. During the time that he did put into it, before school became a bear, he was able to address a good number of the items on the "does not work" punch list.

For everyone in the DX2 community, thank you for your support and understanding.

Ciao!

Make sure it is NOT installed to run off the SDcard. It puts those files into a "file system folder". Essentially, it's a pseudo partition contained within a file. You should be able to use the CM7 Application Manager to move it from the SDcard and back to /data. Hope that helps.

Ciao!

Don't use task managers with CM7. There is a built in feature that allows you to purge assets to free up space. Also, task managers on Gingerbread and newer do not work. They kill the task alright, however, the Android OS will RESPAWN the task. This is a FEATURE that was build into Gingerbread to allow Android to manage the memory within the device and it works VERY well. I have a BOATLOAD of stuff running on my phone and I NEVER have less than 45MB free memory.

To configure the built in asset manager within CM7, do this: Menu -> Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> Performance and check Allow purging of assets.

Ciao!

I'm in the waiting for stable CM9 camp!! Let's face facts there is no way Moto and or Verizon going to push for ICS on what must users consider an out dated phone.

Let's face it if it doesn't have 4G LTE AND a front facing camera the common user doesn't care about it which mean Moto/ Verizon doesn't care about it. ONLY more advance users understand that these things DO NOT MAKE a phone effective.

The best thing I ever did with my DX2 was install CM7, CM9 only going to make it that much sweeter~

Just out of curiosity (and this is in no way trying to get an ETA out of you or pushing for work on this), are you guys going to be taking advantage of spring break? I dont know when that is for dragonzkiller.

Spring break has past. He was assigned a boatload of homework over the break, so, no work on CM7/CM9. Give us time. :D

[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
This is only true if it's a system app. If it's not a system app (in other words, not red in TiBU), then it's safe to restore to any other ROM. I've never had a problem restoring non-system apps backed up from a different ROM. Heck, some system apps were actually user apps that I moved, via TiBU, to be system apps to free up the main memory some more. That was necessary on my LG Vortex (smaller memory than the 512mb you get with the X2).
[Motorola Droid X2] Moon Shadow - NM:
+1 on this. I use TiBu exclusively to migrate non system apps when I have changed ROMs.

The camcorder's focus doesn't work well on this CM7 release. There's no continuois auto-focus. It seemed to (maybe) focus once when the video is started but then remain fixed focus. Even the initial focus scene was blurry.

Other than that I like this rom a lot and will flash it back if it's fixed. But for now I have to have good video, weekend coming, taking the kids to the park and everywhere else on creation... SBFing back to stock.

Anyone else having issues when pluging in headphones? When I plug in headphones my music player goes crazy, changes songs and folders randomly, then phone tries to make a call, the volume is very hollow and hard to hear.

That's pretty funny, that used to happen to me when I had a blackberry. The mic on the phone was the problem; it would trigger the voice app and lower the volume of the music.
[Motorola Droid X2] 6Flip9:
Is it just me or does cm7 run so much better after doing a complete SD wipe (internal / external) w/ a factory reset :D
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
You aren't alone. I got rid of all the music and other files on my external SD because I used google music and dropbox. I got rid off all but a few things on my internal and everything smoothed out.

Wiping my SD cards and getting rid of my task manager and battery saver are the best things I've done to this phone. Well aside from rooting it and putting cm7
[Motorola Droid X2] y0himba:
I don't know if this was answered or not, but does the included tethering patch allow me to tether without needing to pay $30 a month for data I already pay for?

Does it mean I don't need to install Android WiFi tether?
[Motorola Droid X2] apacseven:
It does not. You will need to apply the radiocomm mod for that.
[Motorola Droid X2] A2Trip:
You know I had the same question. I've had the $30 unlimited data since March 2011. I am pretty sure I got grandfathered in when the BS came last june. My question is similar but a little different, is it really unlimited? And can I USB tether as much as I want without getting overcharged?

[Motorola Droid X2] CarlosBattousai:
I've been using the build in tether and nothing popped up on my bill.
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
Did you apply zip for tethering? If so then yes you can use it.
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
The answer to the tether question is yes Verizon can tell if you are tethering alot unless you do the radiocomm hack. Now if you ever apply the radio hack I believe you need to sbf back to 2.2.2 to get rid of the evidence of the radio hack in case of a return. If you do not do the radio hack don't over do it with the tethering. This is all information that has came from these threads here on xda.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
I feel like I already know the answer to this but do grandfathered users with unlimited data still get charged?

Forgive me if I overlooked the answer.
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
Unlimited data is different than tethering. So even if you have unlimited data Verizon will throw a fit if they catch you tethering. Unless you pay them the extra $20 a month.

Temporary External SDCard Mount

First off, thanks a ton to dragonzkiller and whomever helped. I've been quite content with my DX2 and it has been awhile since I've seen some excitement about this device.

I did some experimenting early this morning (which is why I was late for work) and I was able to temporarily mount the external sdcard. You can go into adb shell or terminal emulator, enter superuser (su), and type the following command:

mount -o rw -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard-ext

You should be able to go into any file manager, open /sdcard-ext and it should have all your external sdcard data.

Now this is only temporary meaning that once you restart, you need to re-enter this command. Also, this doesn’t seem to mount when plugged into a PC in usb storage mode (at least for my Mac OSX notebook). I also haven’t figured out yet why the internal sdcard is stuck to 4gb even after attempts to remount it.

I’m going to take a look into navenedrob's sd flip-flop next which probably should fix the external sdcard mount automatically upon startup and probably the 4gb internal sdcard limit. That may require some modifications to get it to work. But at least this is something that you guys can chew on before I can get out of work.

Peace,

[Motorola Droid X2] onefix:

[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Did you do just as you said and powered down then powered back up trying to get into BSR? Or did you go into the BSR app and select "install recovery" then rebooted? The second is the way to do it.

[Motorola Droid X2] religi0n:
I can confirm that the command in adb shell:

mount -o rw -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard-ext

Will mount the external SD card. For now I will just put this in a startup script on my phone and see how that works. This isn't a fix but more of a patch.
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
install hijack patch from stock bsr then reboot then used patched bsr.

to get back into stock bsr. install stock apk and do charge mode. reboot. in stock bsr apk install bsr and reboot as usual and then flash patch then used patched bsr sfter reinstalling it
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I used that command and then it says "mount a filesystem. Filesystem autodetection requires /proc" then it gives me, what I assume is, a list of options and waits for my next command. Im not all that knowledgeable with command line, so is there another command I put in after?
[Motorola Droid X2] religi0n:
Make sure you type:

adb shell

su

Before you run that command.
[Motorola Droid X2] LaserChicken:
My understanding was (after having installed the patched apk and run "install recovery") that I needed to power the phone off, plug it in, and it would go into BSR. When I do it this way, I just get the big M and it hangs (no charge mode, no BSR). I've let it sit at the big M for about 10 minutes, but nothing happens. I unplug the power, pull and replace the battery and it (cyanogen) starts up fine.

I've since followed the method you mentioned, but I still hang at the big M.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Ok, I tried it two ways. I typed in adb shell and it said "adb: permission denied." Then I tried su first and then adb shell and it said "adb: not found."
[Motorola Droid X2] LaserChicken:
I just type su, hit enter, the prompt changes and I'm able to mount

mount -o rw -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard-ext

the card. Maybe the same will work for you.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I attached a screenshot. Am I missing something?
[Motorola Droid X2] LaserChicken:
Am I seeing that wrong, or is that a "-0" (zero) instead of an "-o" (oh)? Should be the letter o.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
umm, it could be a zero. lol. Let me try it again with the letter o.

EDIT: That was it. Damn 0s and os. lol. Thanks a lot.
[Motorola Droid X2] SlimMan:
mount -o rw -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard-ext

Worked like a charm!

Thanks, Slim!
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
step 4 and 5?

Please clarify Install=just install apk or

install= apk + run and install recov. (+ recov mode?)

What exactly did you do?

1 You need to install the original BSR first BEFORE you flash to CM7

2 Install CM7 and all the relevant files

3 Reboot into CM7

4 Install original BSR {apk and install recov, do not set mode}

5 Install the patched BSR {(same) set recov mode}

6 Reboot into BSR

7 Once done, flash back the Hijack patch and reboot into CM7

Works!!!!!
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Hopefully that command can be the key to fixing that problem for Dragonzkiller.

I just have to say, apart from the External SD card problem, and the BSR that apparently is fixed now, and the other small bugs that are mentioned in the first post, I see nothing wrong with this ROM. The themes and tweaks work as they should. Its fast, snappy and well put together for our Droid X2. Thanks dragonzkiller!!!
[Motorola Droid X2] RyanThaDude:
With never having WiFi issues with any ROM I seem to have issues once in a while with it disconnecting. Usually toggling WiFi on/off usually fixes it, though. Very odd.

Lately I've had GPS issues with various ROMs but so far with this CM7 none what-so-ever. Battery life is hard to tell since I used it all last night and this morning with phone going dead in 5 hours!
[Motorola Droid X2] onefix:
Also, if you install script manager from the market and make a one line script, you can mount the card on every reboot.
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
I asked the same question I have unlimited data. I was told you have to have radio hack to get it to where Verizon can not see it if you return it. But sbf back to 2.2.2 will get radio back on pace from what I read.
[Motorola Droid X2] 6Flip9:
The tether patch makes it so u can use the wifi that comes with the phone.

I'm not sure what dzk did but its isn't adhoc like all these secondary tethers u can download from the market.

I can actually give my ps3 a connection unlike before with adhoc.

If Verizon gonna harass u about using it, it would probably be that your using a ton of data unlike before. My guess.

All the radicom hack does is copy the "identifying number" of ur cell data, and paste it over the identifying number for your tethering data. So the two pathways look the same. Thats why u always received a message stating u had to buy a plan when attempting to tether another device before.
[Motorola Droid X2] CarlosBattousai:
Just to clear this up!!

Since know one seem to be sure about the tethering thing I asked dragonzkiller and he said

"not if you did the tethering hack. but the tether hack must be done before flashing CM7 and every time after an SBF"

Right after he replied to my tweet he tweeted

"IF (BIG IF) i get time this week, I'll release the version of #cm9dx2 i had running in the video. yes it's old, but it's all i have."

Edit: I jumped the gun a bit here!!!!

The tether hack IS NOT the patch found in this thread Dragonkiller told me it's the one found on the Droid3

Dragonkiller: "@CarlosBattousai no. It's the one that was found on the DROID3, but it works for us too."

Hopefully all the tetehering questions have been answered now!!!
[Motorola Droid X2] jonbron:
Noticed a couple of bugs after flashing this ROM:

Stock Dialer app does not work - FC every time. Stock contacts and recent calls work OK - just the dialer itself that has problems.

Battery life seems somewhat reduced

If the phone is plugged into a charger while turned off, it will turn on by itself and begin the boot sequence, but it gets stuck at the Droid X2 Dual Core splash screen. Phone will stay in this state until battery removal. Becomes notoriously difficult when phone is out of battery.

Will sometimes treat a shut-down command as a reboot command

Otherwise best ROM I've seen for DX2 to date.
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
When you say stock dialer are you saying stock as blur or stock cm7? I am not having any of those issues.
[Motorola Droid X2] 6Flip9:
Reason for the the dialer issue is a bad download, and make sure to sbf to 2.3.4

The reason it starts on its own is from remnants of bootstrap recovery. Reinstall bootstrap so that it will load it when you u plug it in from a powered off state.

I just flashed to this rom yesterday. I had not had a chance to before now. I have always loved CM so I am very excited to see it for X2.

This is great so far with the only issue for me being that the wifi connection doesn't always reestablish when the phone has been on idle and the screen off. I usually have to power off wifi and restart it. Not a major thing but annoying but if that is the only bug in a beta then I'd have to say well done.

Now I have not had the chance to read the 1000+ posts in this thread so if there is a solution I would love to see a link to it and would appreciate no one flaming me. :rolleyes: :D LOL.

Thanks to those that have ported this over. It really makes my crappy X2 into a new and great phone.

I have a question about this, I put this on my cousins phone, I have an inc2, I noticed all the stuff about the SD cards on the x2, I don't have stuff like that on my phone, when I installed this, I had 2 folders in which stuff was stored, there was emmc, which had all the stuff from the old ROM on it (pics, music, etc.) and a new folder named SD card (like on my inc 2) with none of this stuff on it. My question is, is the folder named emmc indeed internal memory by default? I hadn't done the flip flop mod and read about it after installing this ROM. I hope not, cause I deleted several files and folders from the emmc folder that were also in the SD folder, then copied everything remaining to the SD folder and deleted it from emmc, it was still in the process of cutting and pasting everything when he left, but his phone was working fine, do I need to install the flip flop mod to make the folder called SD external memory, should I not have cut and pasted and deleted out of the emmc folder? If not, can I just go into recovery and reflash the ROM to fix it then do the flip flop? Any help for this noob to this phone would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
