Can some of y'all with N7's dumb this up for me......

Looking at the tools for rooting, some say you can load up to 4.2.1 and then there's others that say you can load a newer version of Android.

What would be the difference? Once you are rooted, I thought it was open season.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
You can load anything from 4.1 - 4.2.1

The difference between what? What exact you wanna know brotha?

Once you UNLOCK and install a CUSTOM recovery, (I HIGHLY recommend the newest TWRP) you can just flash any rom you want, what u need to pay attention to tho is if you decide to change the kernel from what comes with the rom. If on 4.1.x use a 4.1.x kernel. If on 4.2 make sure u use a 4.2 kernel ;)

Also, do not freak out and start deleting/moving/changing folders if u decide to go BACK to 4.1.x from a 4.2 rom. It will seem to you as tho everything in /sdcard is gone, but its not.

If you do decide to drop back to 4.1.2 let me know on PM when you about to do it and I'll give ya the couple steps needed to make ya stuff come back.
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
I gotcha. I was looking at Mskips. Toolkit and then another one. The way I read it, it seemed like the device would not run anything above 4.2.1 using that certain toolkit and that didn't make any sense to me. I thought one you done the deed, it was party time and just keep your kernel versions to match your Android version.

I'm going to run Eclipse. You know me! And of course TWRP. Just trying to get my ducks in a row because once my daughter finally puts it down, I'm gonna dress up the new addition.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Wait

What??

There is nothing above 4.2.1 yet...

Link me what you talking about Lol

Oh ..and by the way...I'm cringing at the thought of using a tool kit on a nexus :(

[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
Yep. That's what I am leaning towards. I used a toolkit by the same guy for my Gnex and it worked great. I figured why not go the same route for the N7.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
If other people report it working great, I dont see why it wouldnt work for you. :)

I think I asked this before but I forgot. If something goes wrong with flashing or you just want to unroot, does samsung offer a file that sets your phone back to stock factory settings like Motorola does with the SBF files?
[Motorola Droid X2] Ryno77:
Yes. There are stock Odin images that work like a sbf. Different programs same idea.
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
I think its option # 9 in the kit. Its a Google Factory Image.

Hell no u don't need to stinking toolkit!!!

Its a nexus!

Fastboot & adb

If u wanna learn I'll teach u, its seriously SUPER easy

AND when u do it this way, you feel like such a freakin BOSS!

ILL hit u in a PM, in about an hour when I close the pub down.

Its always good to know the proper wat anyways,

Just tell me this, do you use windows or Linux? And do you have the android SDK on your computer?(you don't need the whole SDK, I can jut give u link to platform tools with The necessary files.)

I just got to the hospital, my mom was taken here earlier.

Severe Allergic reaction to something. And she has had heart issues for years, they just took her to ICU Cuz they wanna keep a closer eye on her due to the medications they gave for reaction might do something to her heart.

[Motorola Droid X2] Giphtid2705:
I'm in no rush to sell it, so no worries. I bought it from a friend for $200. Came with an extended battery and a case (maybe 2, I'd have to check). I thought I got a great deal on it so I wouldn't mind just selling it for what I paid.

Praying for your family Ash.

I'm currently considering buying an HTC Incredible 4G LTE, considering that they've finally figured out how to set the device S off without having to go thru the HTCdev website, and as such, if I do get the new device, I will be willing to sell this device to a developer for $50; the cost of the phone. As such, it will obviously have a clear ESN and will be able to be set up on the Verizon Network. If anyone is interested.... iirc, there were a couple developers here whom have toasted their X2s, pm, and I'm sure we can work something out.

[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I know most of you have better phones than I do now. But I was wondering, do any of you find your phone running speedy as hell in one location and crappy in another? And I mean over all performance, not browsing the internet or anything. Lately I have been finding my phone running like a brand new phone at work. But at home, it runs crappy and lags more. I thought maybe it had something to do with the wifi. Maybe when the phone is connected to wifi, it starts doing other processes that it doesnt do when its not connected? I havent tested this theory out yet. I was just wondering if you guys have ever noticed something like this. Or maybe I should say, have you guys ever noticed this when you had the Droid X2? lol
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
My 4G has been almost useless lately. 3G is even worse so I don't bother using it. Data used to great at home and suck everywhere else now I'm seeing the opposite effect. But when I say great, I mean 2 bars.

My X2 signal wasn't this inconsistent.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I'm talking more about the speed of everything else. Scrolling homescreens, opening apps, etc. overall lag. It seems worse at home and I think its because my phone is running more processes when connected to wifi. Not sure though.

---------- Post added at 10:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 AM ----------

Another question. When I get around to getting a Galaxy Nexus, I will probably be buying one off of ebay. When I get it, I will need a 4G Sim card from Verizon Right? Do they just give you one for free if you go in and ask for it? Or do you have to pay for it and upgrade your service and all?
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
My Gnex sometimes does that. I think it's just tempermental lol

My X2 seems pretty consistant as far as performance.
[Motorola Droid X2] scotty1825:
I bought my nexus used on eBay and it didn't have the sim card. I walked into my local Verizon store, and they set me up with a new card and activated it for me. No charge! BTW there is a new eclipse build 2 posted on Nitro's site.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:

[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
I can attest to when I purchased my Droid RAZR off of ebay that Verizon gave me a SIMM card for free and activated it. Kept my unlimited data plan as well.

Then, I got a RAZR MAXX because I was getting tired of the battery life (but loved the RAZR). All I had to do was take the SIMM card from my OG RAZR and put it in my MAXX and that was it. Activated and ready to go. I can stick it back into my OG RAZR if I wanted to and no issues there. So much easier than having to dial *228 (or whatever it was) to activate a phone. I remember doing that SO many times on my X2 every time I flashed a new ROM.

Enjoy getting off the X2! It's definitely nice to get away from it, although I still have mine and use it from time-to-time to play the games that won't "work" on my X2 (they do, but I have to side-load them from TiBU).

Thats what I miss about being on AT&T. I was able to switch out the SIM card to whatever phone I wanted and use it. I'm glad that will be the case again with Verizon.

I just saw that too. That may be interesting. This is why I dont want to use my upgrade so soon and by my Galaxy Nexus off contract.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
You are correct!

Some "other services/processes" COULD be bogging down your CPU just because you are on WiFi.

Go thru your apps/accounts/sync setting.

A LOT of apps(even YouTube) have options to ONLY SYNC ON WIFI, or cache music, videos when on WiFi.

That very well could be eating up some background cpu when u on WiFi making the phone become laggy and such.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Thanks Ash. I'll take a look at all my settings.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:

How does around 5-530pm EST sound to you? I'll be getting done work right about then and my support/help line will be open for "business" lol

Have you downloaded the custom recovery img you want to use for your devices? I HIGHLY recommend TWRP. Cwmr is good also, but I'm sure many others here will agree with me when I say TWRP IS THE BEES KNEEZ! LOL

(Twrp allows you to select multiple zips into an install queue so u can just choose your rom/gapps/mods zips all at once and hit install, PLUS it makes and restores nandroid in half or more time than it takes for cwmr to do it in my experiences :D )

[Motorola Droid X2] Tomsgt:
You will if you put any spaces in the name. what I do is put the backup in a folder that I name.

You can always save a copy to your computer or a thumbdrive and then experiment with it. That way you have a Plan B if something goes uh-oh. But Tom is right, avoid the spaces.

So I accidentally figured out what my Christmas present was.....used Google Now on the wifes tablet and instantly it showed the shipping/item info. She was right next to me so I really couldn't hide it, just said, crap, I know what my gift is. She doesn't use Google now so she had no idea that info was right there. Anyway, presents were exchanged today and she's definitely very happy with what she got....as am I. She got me the Bose slim (something or other) II.......basically a higher end bluetooth speaker....wireless....great sound. I think I may have been more excited about the new phone than she was :).

Ash, how's your mom doing? Haven't seen an update today but maybe I missed something.

Up until about 4 months ago, I was a Bose and Microsoft sales rep. The Bose sound link is legitimately a kickass product. Super long battery life over Bluetooth too. Really loud and crisp. Convenient to carry around.

By the way, my mom is home today finally. No episodes since. Had to do with a medication for her heart! I think called lissipril?(lisipro? Lessiprel??Lissipril?grrr..stupid drug names!) Apparently it can cause anaphylactic shock/reactions after a while. Which is what happened. She told me today she thought she was gonna die in ambulance. VERY close call. She has 2 epi pens now, one is stuck to fridge and if she ever needs it can just scream and I'll be running to grab it.

And she'll have the other on her at all times just in case. Since me and my dad work during day. I'm just scared in case it WASNT the medication they think is what caused it. What if it was something else they missed and me and my pops at work? Sorry.. Don't wanna bring the mood down :(

Yea ....sure...the Xoom was a "Google experience device" but that's NOTHING compared To the new android versions and hardware released lately.

.let moto step into the game as a Nexus manufacturer, moto doesn't design the device. They just provide the means/hardware/facility to develop it. I am ALL IN for a Motorola nexus. NOTHING bad would come from this.
