When CM7 came out, it was the fastest ROM yet mainly because all the BLUR was removed. For me, the performance was not having to use tweaks such as the V6 scripts in order to get it to run games, like Fruit Ninja, smoothly.

With Eclipse, I can get the same performance from it. Also, battery life is excellent with Eclipse and I do not see any jumping of the battery level on a reboot. If it's at 91% when I reboot, it says 91% when it's done booting up.

Also, Superuser hangs are not an issue with Eclipse like they are with CM7. Also, I witnessed enough of the "process X is not responding" messages from CM7 that I finally gave Eclipse 2.0.4 a go (in beta as I was a beta tester) and I haven't gone back since.

Eclipse is the best ROM out there IMHO and that's no knock against DKZ. CM7 is a blessing to show that we CAN have a blurless X2. But, his time is now being taken up by school and CM9, so I'm not sure if CM7 will get any updates.

It would be nice if the source were made available as I would love to look at it and muck around with it. If the source IS available, I don't know where it is.

i just did a quick search on in the thread and my incall volume of the call is pretty low even with the volume up all the way. is there some hidden setting to raise the volume?
[Motorola Droid X2] maggard5:
I used wifi fixer. It didn't stop wifi from dropping out, just reconnected it for me.
[Motorola Droid X2] Moon Shadow - NM:
This is a known problem with CyanogenMod ROMs and root apps in general. The reason for it is since CM is a fully AOSP based ROM, the root apps in the market might not play well with it. What I have done is to use script manager and create little scriptlets that pkill the running process that hangs. (You can do this via ADB as well, but I dunno how many people carry around a laptop with their DX2 just to be able to ADB into it.)

For TiBu my script is:

#!/system/bin/sh
pkill Titan
pkill Titan
pkill Titan

I execute it three times in succession to make sure it's killed (this is WAY overkill, but it works).

Then I go in and open TiBu and it usually works. In RARE cases, I have to run the script more than once.

The code for say Tasker is:

#!/system/bin/sh
pkill tasker
pkill tasker
pkill tasker

I execute it three times for the same reason as above.

Good luck!

Add this to the bottom of your build.prop:

# Increase volume steps
ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=15

This will separate your volume increments from 7 to 15. I think it's louder, but your mileage may vary. :D

Ciao!
[Motorola Droid X2] dust.:
Can you do this for media volume too? And if so, will making it louder just distort and ruin the sound quality? The X2 volume is pretty weak it seems :(

Dragonzkiller just tweeted:

" About to rebase #cm7dx2 and release an update for it hopefully in the next few days."
[Motorola Droid X2] RyanThaDude:
I saw that, too, just after I sbf'ed, updated to 2.3.5 and went back to Eclipse 2.0.4. Oh well, I'll flash back again.
[Motorola Droid X2] lordforex:
Yeah, I'm running Eclipse 2.0.4 now also. Lol. It's running pretty smooth. I may back it up when cm9 is released so I can try it. Luckily I have a nanodroid back up of rooted gb 2.3.4 so I won't have to sbf in order to try cm9
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
FYI, it's been proven that nandroiding will not replace your kernel. Remember, we cannot overwrite the kernel without using a signed OTA zip file from Verizon.

So, nandroiding back to 2.3.4 will not replace your kernel. You'll still have to SBF back to 2.3.4.

I responded to his tweet to see if he could elaborate on what this will do as far as fixing any issues (SU issues, etc).
[Motorola Droid X2] lordforex:
Thanks for the tip
[Motorola Droid X2] gnuworldorder:
that didnt make it louder or at least i didnt notice it. also cm7 isnt using a custom kernel? why does the cputuner let me change stuff now?
[Motorola Droid X2] :
Try the app volume plus.
[Motorola Droid X2] coolpoete:
Yep, really glad to read that too!! This is the longest I've kept a custom ROM without changing it to something different.
[Motorola Droid X2] Moon Shadow - NM:
Volume plus doesn't work on CM7DX2.

Ciao!
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
Got a reply back from DZK on Twitter. Apparently, what he is doing is a base merge. What that means is, he is taking what the official Cyanogenmod code base has and is merging that in with his ported code. I'm assuming there are some other things that the official CM7 code-base has that possibly DZK's version doesn't.

He wasn't sure what bugs it might fix, but he's hoping to have it done in a few days. It hasn't been tested either.
[Motorola Droid X2] MrWilliams2:
Thanks for the update Bolski. I bet you can't wait to run the ol' Fruit Ninja test on DK's new creation, huh?
[Motorola Droid X2] alias747:
That's awesome news! I have been wanting to pull the trigger on CM7 but I keep hearing weird bugs that people have been experiencing. And since Eclipse is running so amazing for me already, I couldn't justify it yet. Hopefully this new version will fix some of these issues.

I wish that other dev's would take dzk's CM7 ROM and build off of it a little. It would be sweet to have several AOSP flavors for the X2, but I understand that the development for this phone is pretty skimpy... Long live dzk I guess!
[Motorola Droid X2] electroman987:
Speaking of cm7 roms, does anyone think a kang builds would be possible for our x2. With the couple of extremely talented devs we have, yu would think it would be simple. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Keep up the great work dragon and company!!!!
[Motorola Droid X2] mteezey:
just bought a dx2 a few days ago. Im coming from an evo 3d which had a locked bootlaoder as well but there was a workaround to flash via fastboot. so im still getting used to the flashign methods for this. Im getting ready to flash this now. Is there any other tips anyone can give as far as flashing this other than whats listed in the op. I want to make sure to have little possibility of bootloops as possible since from the sounds of it that can be a major headache. Also i use this phone on metropcs is there any issues with creating hw ports in order to connect to com?
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
Wipe data cache and dalvik in the bsr advanced menu

Sent from my eclipsecrack using Xparent Blue Tapatalk
[Motorola Droid X2] mteezey:
Cool thanks. No need to go into mounts and storage and format boot or anything from there? One thing that confuses me about this with bootstrap is once we go into recovery and wipe everything are we wiping the recovery as well? so if we bootloop is there anyway to get back into bootstrap or do we just have to sbf at that point? Lol this phone has me feeling like a newb again. : )
[Motorola Droid X2] maggard5:
The cache and dalvik wipes don't touch recovery. If you bootloop just pull battery, plug phone in to wall charger, and put battery back in. This will boot into bsr.
[Motorola Droid X2] DaveRichardson:
I know exactly what you mean. Switching to such a locked down device resets your accumulated Android knowledge (why the switch from the Evo, btw?).

Anyway, there's some ReRecovery mod that you can flash as a last step of every BSR session that supposedly restores BSR after you wipe (making it so you can get back in, rather than bootloop).

I've actually never flashed it (I never made it part of my BSR ritual) simply because I was never able to get a firm handle on if it works or not; but it's there.

Regardless, I haven't had a bootloop since the very first day I got my X2 (don't remember what I was doing, so I can't even tell you what went wrong). Regardless, I had already made a nandroid when that happened, so I SBFed, rerooted, reinstalled BSR, and restored from my nandroid and was back in business. Was a MUCH bigger PITA than if I could've just gotten back into recovery, but I've only had to do that once (out of probably 10 wipe-requiring BSR sessions).

I like a lot of things about the X2, but between Motorola's dickishness and the absurdly bad screen ghosting, I wish I'd gone a different route.

---------- Post added at 11:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 AM ----------

Full data wipe does knock out BSR.
[Motorola Droid X2] mteezey:
I was using evo 3d for a long time then it randomly went into bootloop and nothing would recover it no matter what RUU or flashing method. So i bought a new one since i loved that phone so much and the onee i bought was a refurb and data would not work on it only wifi. So i sold that and since i just moved and needed money i went for somehting i felt would be equal in capability but much cheaper.

Well im getting ready to flash now. I got the sbf on standby just in case. lol. looking forward to this im not a fan of the moto-blur. Thanks for the feedback so quick guys. Im sure ill get used to this quick.

Were still able to create hw ports to connect to com with this rom right? Im pretty sure ill have to reprogram for metro after the flash.

Ok I'm up and running. Everything went smooth. What a major improvement in the UI. Now hopefully we get a bootloader unlock soon so we can flash some custom kernels.
[Motorola Droid X2] maggard5:
Sorry, should have been more specific. I was referring to cache and dalvik.

Updated my other post.
[Motorola Droid X2] lotus22:
I came from a Droid X. I highly doubt they are going to unlock the bootloader.
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
I love cm7. Android-ninja did say way back that he got it to work on 235. So I nand'ed (bu'ed 1st) to 234 stock (my cheesecake rom). Made sure voodoo had su backed up. Flashed 235/412 (see overminds ota in dev) from android recov. Restored root. Installed dx2 bsr and nan'ed to the cm7 I just saved. So far no issues. BT and wifi good. Note I did flash ReRecoverycm7 after the nan back to cm7 as the 235 upgrade required a dx2 bsr install which uses "hijack" not the needed "hijack-charge" as the /preinstall folder is not part of the restore process w/cwr.

Edit I was also looking for a solution for the BT error of changing connection to "Phone 2" and then only connecting if I rebooted.

WiFi still a not auto connecting. Nand'ed to Miui it has no BT problems and wifi was ok on 234. So far no diff w/ 235.
[Motorola Droid X2] mteezey:
Anyone familiar with using these phones on metro? When I was stock I could switch phone to evdo only and get 3g but on cm if I force evdo I get no signal or only for a second then I lose all service. Does anyone have a compatible telephony provider apk. That might work for metro since they use wcdma. It seems like the one in here doesn't support wcdma I get fc's like crazy if I switch to that. I'm kinda stumped I didn't see anything in the build prop that was that much different than stock as far as connection goes.
[Motorola Droid X2] fargles:
Something I have noticed is that battery life is garbage with CM7, I can't make it a day even if I don't touch the phone.

Also when I swipe the notification off, it will freeze sometimes it will let me know I have notifications however it won't let me clear them. I also am unable to use the toggles on the drop down when this happens.

Other then that works well, still not as smooth as I'd like. but it's a beta, and a darn good one at that
[Motorola Droid X2] dust.:
Idk what your issue is but I can easily get 20 hours on my phone and still have around 40-50% running CM7

CM7 <3
[Motorola Droid X2] fargles:
lucky duck, my battery life isn't very good at all, I've been running CM7 for like 3-4 weeks now and have calibrated my battery. Still nothing
[Motorola Droid X2] motrinHD:
made the switch from stock to cm7 this morning. had an interesting experience after my first reboot i had no data connection. so rebooted again and now i do, funny that

everything works like a charm, tho i do miss the stock swype keyboard from 2.3.4. is possible to get that on cm7?

im using the usb tether to type this from the xda website.

edit: and its slow.. also makes my PC in unresponsive
[Motorola Droid X2] maggard5:
You can get the Swype beta at Swype.com.
[Motorola Droid X2] motrinHD:
thx, ill check that out.
[Motorola Droid X2] Pixelation:
On Eclipse or Liberty I had around 28 hours on an extended battery, stock blur Io had around 19, CM7 I have 26 hours with moderate use.... pfft I'll take great speed, customization, reliability over a couple hours.

At this time I'm SBFing my mothers DX2 to install CM74DX2, I kid you not, thank you CM74DX2 team <3
[Motorola Droid X2] booked:
in my opinion battery life isnt a concern at all. my phone generally last about 20 hrs with moderate to heavy use.

I had issues with cm7 the first time I installed, no ringtones would work kept fc'ing. I just sbf'd back to 2.3.4 and reinstalled cm7 following all instructions again and everything works perfect now. I keep coming back to this rom because of the "allow purgin of assets" option. I no longer need a task manager of any sort.
[Motorola Droid X2] SuBDivisions:
My battery life is AMAZING.. Now i am on the extended battery thats 1, but the KEY to this thing is simple.. Stop making your phones Live sync with every social media outlet on the planet.. I swear i can't tell you literally helped 20 people this month get 4x the battery life on their phone cause they don't need their twitter feed updating 18x a minute!

My general rules.. Never EVER merge anything blur related (i know this has no blur cm7 but rule still kinda applies) with any social media and have it UPDATE in REALTIME. At BEST set it to hourly.. I use MANUAL on all my Facebook, twitter, google + etc.. If i want to know whats up, i refresh it.. OHHH the Pain of 4 second updates!!

Because of this i use my phone pretty heavy ALL Day and i can literally go 2-3 days without putting it on a charger. Texting, calling, camera, email (and my email is push Exchange, WITH a Pop account and an IMAP account in InoMail)..

Try it people, Im TELLING you, you will thank me.

Mteezy.. I had to sbf back from eclipse then root and put on cm7.. I. Didn't Have a single issue and I'm just a consumer of the devs.. Cm7 I'm used to since my d1.. This rom makes this phone valuable. quadrant (which I put alot of stock into) 3200.. Eclipse the best I could do 2500
[Motorola Droid X2] iceman99393:
op says you must sbf to 2.3.4 to install this ROM. But if i'm on a regional carrier such as ntelos and only have access to a sbf of 2.3.5 then I can't run this?
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
I think you'd be better off on Ace's Miui.I tried cm7 on and had wifi issues. Keep in mind this was done by upgrading to 235 then restoring the Cm7 bu.. I don't think it will flash to 235 as it did a kernel check when I tried it w/ the alpha version while on 235 at the time.
[Motorola Droid X2] Lorenzo VonMatterhorn:

[Motorola Droid X2] mrf582:
Run it 3 times in a row. And watch the score go from 3200 to 3500.
[Motorola Droid X2] mteezey:
That's cause quadrant isn't accurate on dual core phones. If you want more accurate results use antutu benchmark. I scored 5500 on cm7 and was like 4900 on stock.

I'm kinda confused about this rom and how we have to be on 2.3.4. Since the rom is technically the 2.3.7 build of cm. Mayne its just the lockscreen and some other things but even antutu benchmark thinks its version 2.3.7 and a few other apps too.

"Friends don't let friends run quadrant on dual core phones "
[Motorola Droid X2] Jubomime:
Apparently its a 2.3.7 version built on the 2.3.4 kernel.

[Motorola Droid X2] iceman99393:
So is there no way to run this on 2.3.6 or 2.3.5 ? us regional carrier users don't necessarily have sbfs of anything older than 2.3.5 and even then hard to come by unlike Verizon.
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22454118&postcount=1495

I did not quote you. Miui should be your best bet on 236. Do you have a sbf file?

BTW does anyone know if Miui performs a kernel check to exclude 235?
[Motorola Droid X2] ForevermanRGPC:
Found out today that it does. Only way to 2.3.5 is a nandroid. Works great by the way thanks.
[Motorola Droid X2] iceman99393:
Ok i'm on 2.3.6 if I root I can then install miui without going back to sbf 2.3.5? I'm a bit lost with all these work arounds. Or does it check for a diff kernel other than the 2.3.6 on miui and not allow me to flash.? or does it overlook the kernel because its a nandroid? Can someone guide me a bit here, not new to this but motos BS is crazy.
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
iceman...

I think you are SOL as to flashing. You could use someone's nandroid.
[Motorola Droid X2] :
You can also just swype in the opposite direction to bring it back.
[Motorola Droid X2] iceman99393:
So because i'm on 2.3.6 i'm

fuked? I find it hard to believe that there is so many issues if not on 2.3.4. So basically the kernel has to be 2.3.4 or bust pretty much? If so seems like there won't be much else to look forward to as we don't have sbfs of 2.3.4 on regional carriers. Cant you create a sbf off of a VZW 2.3.4 but exclude basebands? Thought I read that somewhere.
[Motorola Droid X2] skwoodwiva:
Do you have any sbf file?

I am ULing my nand of Miui. It is prewiped so just restore it. If you rename it DO NOT USE ANY SPACES. 2-3hrs to complete.:)

I am using it on 235 with no major issues.
[Motorola Droid X2] iceman99393:
I have an sbf of 2.3.5 that someone posted in general section, i'm on ntelos. But would 236 pose a problem with your backup?

You swipe up to go to the second dock bar where you can add more icons and shortcuts, then you swipe down on the dockbar to go back to the first/main dockbar. Make sure you menu/more/lock screen so that you won't keep moving stuff from the main dockbar to the second one like most folks do with the app drawer button.

[Motorola Droid X2] Tanaka.mupinga:
Does anyone know if its possible to port the screenshot option from this rom to others? The rom is fantastic but for some reason flash videos only work every once in awhile
[Motorola Droid X2] Moon Shadow - NM:
Ummm, the integrated screenshot app is part of the systemui.apk (I think that's where it is) plus one or two libraries. You would need to pull them from the cm7 github and compile them yourself and modify the systemui.apk (again, I think that's where the power button commands come from). Not a simple task, and probably not worth it since there are apps on the market that work just fine.
