Yeah, it's going up for sale tomorrow. I plan on getting a Google Nexus 7 and just keeping my DX2. I was going to offer it to anyone here who wanted it, and at a discounted price, but to be honest, I wouldn't sell this phone to people I respect--it's completely over-rated. I mean, sure, it boots fast, the transitions are smooth, it has official ICS...but it doesn't blow me away, if that makes any sense at all.

Anyway, I'll sell it locally or on Swappa and get the GooNex7, that should be fun to mess around with.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
That's got me thinking-what do you think my almost year old X2 would go for?
[Motorola Droid X2] LaserChicken:
If it's clean, I've seen them go for 125.00 on Swappa, maybe even 150.00 locally off Craigslist. Hell, that gets you more than half way to a GooNex7, they're 200 bucks.

Edit: if you have extras, a nice case, extended battery--you might be up around 180.
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
I'm amazed the clusterf**k of a phone the X2 is they still worth that

[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
Awesome man, thanks. Yeah, it was $149 after the $50 mail in rebate. But I'm not counting that. I always have the worst luch with that stuff. So maybe in 6 weeks, we'll see haha

I'm gonna read up and see what all is involved with actually doing what I wanna do. I have a pretty good idea of what I wanna try, just gotta sit down and tinker with it. Big brother has me under his thumb at work so its no moding here. At home I'm being dad and trying to get my truck ready for October.

I'm still not leaving the X2 forum. You guys are great!! My bride is getting her feet wet with my X2. Still don't know how I managed to talk her into getting my X2 and me a Nexus when she almost went for the Rezound. I like the Rezound but for some reason have this itch for the Gnex.

The dude at the counter was pushing a little for a Slll. I almost jumped, but I'm tired of waiting for all the good stuff to come around if you know what I mean.
[Motorola Droid X2] kenjesse:
Back to the dream topic... bottom line you folks can keep them!!

I just made official senior citizen status the 1st and for the first 50 odd years i never had a dream or at least a dream i remembered other than waking up a hand full of times with, for lack of a better description, a picture in my head that i had no idea where it came from.

For years i was seriously jealous of you folks that have this second dream life, i felt cheated and tried many things to simulate dreaming. Foods, supplements, self hypnosis, hell even crystals. Nothing.

Then about 4 years ago the docs put me on a med called gabapetin (sure I'm spelling it wrong) to help with nerve pain i was having from an old injury. The med seriously disagreed with me with weird side effects including DREAMING. Honest to god i have no idea how you folks deal with it or maybe its my lack of experiance but now 3 years after i stopped taking the med I'm still dreaming and absolutely hate it!! I'm not talking nightmares these are I guess what you would call pleasant but the way I feel when I wake up with a head full of memories that weren’t there before is frightening; takes me hours sometimes to sort it all out; what was the dream and what is real. Just would rather go back to sleeping the sleep of dead.

And now you folks have added the prospect of dream paralysis...LOL Thanks oh so much for that thought... just kidding about the last folks, given what I've been thru in my life everyday I wake up above ground is a blessing, even if it takes a while to sort things out.
[Motorola Droid X2] grnsl2:
I keep tettering between the Gnex and Rezound. I dono tho, 5 meg pxl camera has me worried. I take a ton of pictures with my X2 (sports family things) and I worry since I'm not up close to the action what those pictures will actually turn out like with that cam. Everything else says get it. What do you think? If you took a detailed picture with each device, and you crop or zoom in on the picture, can you see the difference?
[Motorola Droid X2] antp121:
Seriously, the gnex camera isn't bad. It's worse then the rezound but with the gnex's development, you won't be disappointed.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
My guess is you have a mild dream phobia. Has it caused you any day to day hindrances? Minor ones count too.
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
I'd have to agree. The developement side has me sold on the Gnex.

I'm still in the googly stage though. It's fresh out of the box. No moding until tomorrow night and it's about to kill me. Seen my X2 at lunch and was like, "There's my 'lil buddy." I kinda miss the ole boy...... until I dive into my new toy :cool:
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Check out Rootzwiki's Nexus sections. They have some roms and mods that we don't. Lots and lots of mods
[Motorola Droid X2] droidzika:
I just lost a nice gnex on ebay. Im so pissed! I asked the seller for extra pics and *poof* it was freaking gone :D
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
I have been checking them out, thanks for the ideas. Ash mentioned it earlier and I've been going full geek on reading some pages lol.

Curious though.... did you mod your radio any certain way? I've seen where some people go kernal-radio-rom. Then some only go kernal-rom.

Man I feel ya there. That sucks. Happens to me almost every time.
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
HTC gave me an ota for my bday :) awe they shouldn't have

rockin my EVO 4G LTE
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
general consensus is that the newest official radios are usually best (in this case the FC04/FC05 combination)

you can try the others, but honestly, you really wont be seeing too much of a differences between radios, i recommend just using the latest and staying there, less of a chance for you to mess something up with the radios that way (which could be pretty bad I'd you do mess up ya radios, whatever you do don't ever flash gsm basebands to your vzw gnex)

what is best way to go imho is to get on a rom, get a feel for it, flash a kernel, get a feel for that kernel, then tweak done of the kernel settings (min/max cpu, governor, governor parameters, display color settings, list go on and on and on) get a feel for it with tweaks, try another kernel, repeat

then try another ROM, another kernel, repeat.

lol

the journey for the perfect set up for your individual use is freaking fun as hell when you have THIS many SOLID choices. especially since once you find your own "perfect setup" , then a rom gets updated, or kernel gets updated or released and you get to go nuts again! lol
[Motorola Droid X2] antp121:
What rom are you running now?
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
I've left the radio alone for now. Rom and kernel are all I touch.
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
My day:

Did ota at work today after relocking ruuing then fastbooting then flashed rooted Rom then suffered with my typical 1 bar at hone..which is ok cuz its 3 times faster then I ever got with vzw with full service...then just updated prl and BAM full service! Yeah baby yeah :) nice part is I'm on sprint only ;)

Funny thing is in my about in settings my signal is -120 lol

Need some DPI editing help...this rom is amazingly frustrating.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
yea, especially if you're phone came with 4.04 installed it must likely has the latest vzw radios with it as well anyways

I'm running rootzboat jellybean build. just waiting for side other roms to update to jellybean.

hell, stock jelly bean is good enough for me, i can't freaking wait to see some sweet roms cooked with this new source, this is going to be amazing
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
and yet you give no details

i should slap you in the throat lol :p
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
Now my radio is acting funny. After waking up from a sleep, it won't turn on at all. When it does it is horribly slow....like slower than my X2 in a 4G area. Its still fresh outta the box. Man I can wait to get into this thing.

Edit: Could be Juice Defender acting up. I'll delete it and see.what happens.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
As you should Ash. I'd do the same lol.

The borders of the screen are very compressed and I'd like to stretch everything out. The bottom is the Tapatalk widgets, the top The Pulse and the edges are the app folders. I can think of some things to edit (editing in root explorer or finding PA source) but I'm not 100% sure it will work.
[Motorola Droid X2] csking33:
I'm not sure if you have, but check in settings before you mess with the dpi. I know with my launcher there are settings for adjusting the vertical and horizontal margin. Try that before anything. Messing with the dpi can cause more issues than it solves sometimes.

[Motorola Droid X2] kenjesse:
Boy are you in for a treat, there are something like 241 (sarcastically random number) different "flavors" of Linux to chose from and Linux people's will endlessly debate and defend their particular favorite. Or at least that was my experience when I asked for advice when I installed Linux for the first time as a 2nd os on my laptop. :D
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
Yea..... that's kinda what I'm afraid of lol
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
Very very true...by the way Fedora is the best :p they have some live CDs that you can run to test them before you install it too just to try them out....most flavors of Linux have these as well...I just happen to like Fedora and I personally don't run anything Microsoft at all but that's just me....you can always set up a small partition for now to play and get used to it...because there are things that are vastly different.....then go from there
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
Htc phones are know for substandard radios probably due to the antenna being built into the battery door on many. The put the radio right where u cover with your hand. The dinc2 is one of the worst. google dinc2 reception issues and you'll fond a ton of info on it. Id personally suggest samsung. ;)

I love it how you find these things out after its too late to do anything about it... oh well. I'm getting similar / same readings for DB value of the cell service on cm7 in my house on this phone as I did on the x2. Maybe ill try flashing a different radio if it becomes an issue
[Motorola Droid X2] Pixelation:
First time? Wow, good luck with that.../grin I drop mine from 6 feet alot going in and out of my truck, the thing I do like it's Motorola enclosures...made from aluminum..not plastic like HTC and Samsung phones...

If anything just call Verizon trip them your phone isn't turning on..don't lead into you stopped it out any physical abuse...they will send replacement, return yours...moto SBF your device when they receive it...so generally no worries

So far so good. I'm getting a lot of FC's today, but I know that has nothing to do with dropping my phone. Just weird timing. :) I'll keep your advice in mind in case I have to go that route. Thanks!

So what's everyone up to today? I should be studying and doing homework (oddly enough, as I'm not a college kid), but instead I'm watching reruns of The Walking Dead.

Here's a good place to start for Linux ;)

http://www.ubuntu.com/

Edit: Or Fedora is another Good one :P (personal preference for ease of use is Ubuntu, avoid Zorin OS, I installed it on my Wife's computer & it was an epic p.i.t.a. (i.e. issues that make bootloops look like child's play :P)
[Motorola Droid X2] hedwig34:
No! LinuxMint is the best! :D

Live CDs for it too. Give it a try!
[Motorola Droid X2] paxChristos:
LinuxMint is just Ubuntu redone :P

Why not give him something "fun" like Arch/Slackware/Gentoo? :D

[Motorola Droid X2] kenjesse:
I would have to say Fedora was recommended by several people, but even then those same people had their "favorite" version of Fedora :eek: lol

Tried to install it several times without success... finally installed Ubuntu 12.0 which had an install routine that let's you install as a dual boot from within windows; no need to mess with partitioning our any of that stuff. Install was painless.

Fedora 17 is great out of the box good compatibility as in not needing wrappers etc...Ubuntu is popular and really good for new users...but I like rpm instead of deb now that I have used it more....used red hat long time ago and Fedora was like coming home.. give the live CDs a spin...if you gave questions or not sure what desktop environment to choose let me know I'm sure we can find a good fit for you tally
[Motorola Droid X2] ninjasailas:
Yeah used the story and also did the reboot mid call thing i was on the phone less than 10 min. they offered me a droid 3 and i told them i would rather keep the x2 than have a physical keyboard and asked them if there was anything else and they said the incredable 2. so now i am expecting it monday.

[Motorola Droid X2] droidzika:
250.00 + 20 for shipping.. it was a " buy now" so I had no time to mess around, I had to jump on it...I was watching 10 gnex altogether. They all went for over 300.00 even the ones that were in messed up condition, were selling at around 150.00

turns out it was sent FedEx.. it's expected to arrive tomorrow...and I conveniently took the day off tomorrow LOL

Yeah... I was debating on the g3 but with a locked bl... No thanks... Nexus 4 life lol
[Motorola Droid X2] droidzika:
Nah...next thing you know there's a g5 out and then everyone is drooling for that one too. I figure gnex will be my intro into samsung's world and I'll take it from there.Most importantly, they are customer friendly, so far. They seem to know what their customers want. I was very impressed by them offering a developer version of the g3. Hint Hint Moto! Sure, you'll have to pay almost 700.00 for it but at least there's an option. I love moto's devices...but their unwillingness to look out for their customers really burns me up. [I read verizon's response to developers wanting an unlocked bootloader on the g3--- verizon's response: "we can't cater to the few" then I looked at the amount of people that use XDA...4,510,539 MEMBERS ...that's a few?--- moto and verizon are out of touch..ok enough of my rant]

Random Question:

Does it matter if you flash your kernal first and then the ROM or ROM then kernal?
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
If the particular rom has a baked in kernel and you want a different one then go ROM / kernel. If not then the order doesn't matter. I'd still advise going rom kernel to make sure nothing goes awry.
[Motorola Droid X2] LaserChicken:
It's NIB (32GB), I fired it up to make sure it works, but it still has all the protective covers on the surfaces.

I have it for sale locally for 570. On Swappa it's a bit more because of shipping and their fee.

Got my Gnex unlocked and rooted. With my CPU it was a pain in the @$$. It would not recognize the device set on MTP. I had to do it all through PTP. Now that I'm ready to go, I can't move my ROM and kernel that I downloaded on my PC to my phone. Fun stuff.
