Good thing is, dzk tweeted he does not want anyone asking for his CM9 DX2 build as he will NOT hand it out or push it out as a ROM until bugs are gone. He is working hard on it I am sure and he will only put up the ROM when he feels it is ready. It will come people...just relax, it'll be worth it!

I have plans to release a small test of #cm9dx2 when the summer hits. No more than 5 testers or so. They would have to be "reliable" too. -- dragonzkiller (@dragonzkiller) from dk’s twitter
[Motorola Droid X2] dets34:
well im currently running CM7.2 RC1. I'm just looking for a beta release date for CM9 if there is going to be a beta.
[Motorola Droid X2] Stuckinabox:
No release dates ever, don't bother asking. If all goes well it'll probably be out at any point during the summer.
[Motorola Droid X2] dets34:
No worries. I am in no hurry to get rid of CM7 thats for sure.
[Motorola Droid X2] BluPhant:
Just got a droid and was mad disappointed by sporadic lag. Used it for about a month stock & went over to CM7, and I'm not looking back. Just donated to Dragon & am looking forward to the CM9 release. Having said that... I'm thrilled with CM7... it's simply awesome. RIP Blur.

[Motorola Droid X2] king..kranium:
But it cannot RIP until they stop forcing it down our throats, then frowning upon us as our phones crap out. Like I said earlier my big Bro was scared to root and rocked blur until his phone malfunctioned ... I went cm and been great ever since.

[Motorola Droid X2] ddyourself:
well, my limited experience with cm7dx2 is not that positive. Wifi is sporadic, I have seen the classic endless scan->connect loop as on touchpad. Camcorder FC'ed twice on the first day. These are deal breakers for me. I use wifi exclusively and shoot small videos throughout the day. I can bear with other FCs, such as google play, but not these two issues. After 2 days I am back on Blur, slow yet stable with faster wifi connecting.
[Motorola Droid X2] BluPhant:
Intersting... For me, the out of the box 2.3.4 was almost unusable. Maybe I got a good one, I have not had any issues like that. Wifi has been solid; the only issues I had were solved by getting the superuser app sorted.

I wonder what the differences are that cause our experiences to be so vastly different? I've done some fairly intense wifi on it (at least in terms of moving data around) w/ videos & transferring stuff to and from a local FTP server w/o issue.

-Blu
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
The wifi issues aren't really present when your using the connection. They come into play when you let the screen turn off while not transferring anything or streaming. Basicly wifi will go to sleep and endlessly loop trying to obtain ip until you go into settings wifi. Its a big pain if you want to use wifi because you have to manualy reconnect everytime the screen turns off.
[Motorola Droid X2] BluPhant:
Would having social apps (whatsapp, the facebooks, etc) generate enough wifi activity to keep it alive? I've not seen this behavior @ all. And my phone has screen off a large percentage of a typical day.

I rely pretty heavily on wifi, particulary in my office where CDMA signals are effectively blocked by a metal-encased building. To this point (knock wood) no issues....

-Blu
[Motorola Droid X2] ddyourself:
there is one app "keep my android wake" can do the trick.

However, my problem with it is not keep it connected when it is connected. The initial connection is always troublesome. As I said, I have no dataplan, for example, when l returned home, the moment I get my car inside garage and parked, with stock rom, I already start to hear email notifications; but with CM7, it is still in the scan state. Sometime, it never connects, scan->obtain IP->scan.... endless loop, just like the old touchpad drama. And you may already know, some places provide free wifi, I just wasn't able to get the phone connected with CM7, but no issue with stock.

Other than that, camcorder is really the last straw.

I know! I read that tweet! Though I don't have an X2 anymore, I am super dooper excited! Would like to know how this performs on the Dual core phone! Will it finally realize the potential of the Tegra 2? We'll find out soon enough I guess. Are the testers under oath to not reveal any info to us!? :p :D
[Motorola Droid X2] Kevin3328:
I would say dragonz wants to keep things under wraps until he has a working build and bugs r worked out.. I checked out his commits on github to see what he did but unfortunately none of it really made sense to me lol.. I'm happy to see him still working on this device.. as my android knowledge expands I hope to bring something to the table some day on the development side once I know how.. him and nitro made this device the best it could be.. two great devs!!! Thanks to them for sure
[Motorola Droid X2] ddyourself:
Fantastic! I was so surprised that with overall better hardware, X2 is such an inferior device compare to Droid incredible 2. I hope ICS can make some difference, and hopefully wifi and camera/camcorder is stable.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Read the tweet and got really excited! If anything this indicates that dragon has progressed enough to feel okay releasing to a few people. Rough estimate of completeness; mayyybe 45%?

[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I'm excited for CM9. But after reading this,

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/problems-with-the-evo-3d-ics-leak-brings-warnings-from-devs/

Im glad Dragonzkiller is going through actual testing with this before releasing it to us. And I hope they are doing things like seeing if we can SBF back to GingerBread if we want/need to. I know CM9 will probably have things not working right away. So if I need to go back to GB, I sure hope they test that at least.
[Motorola Droid X2] Stuckinabox:
I could be wrong, but it doesn't seem like anyone will ever be able to make something for our phone that you can't SBF back from.
[Motorola Droid X2] A2Trip:
SBF'd from the 2.3.5 418 Update back to 2.3.4 cuz I couldn't stand my phone not rooted and no CM. Went as smooth as butter and back to the darkside. I was sweating bullets though when going through RSD. Glad I'm back and can't wait till dzk drops this beast!

This is not based on a leaked firmware update

there is nothing to worry about

You can always sbf back from something like this, it's a 2nd init rom based on a kernel we have.

Now, if this were based on say , an untested ics leak (or was an actual ics, or any type of leak found using cheesecake) THEN you should be concerned if it wasn't confirmed already that sbf downgrade was possible.

Toy need only be concerned with things found in cheesecake or randomly on the internet, as a ROM like this is just tweaks hacks and hijacks done to ALREADY working official updates we have on the x2.

Which is why the cheese cake thread says to NEVER INSTALL AN UPDATE YOU FIND USING CHEESE CAKE WITHOUT IT BEING PROPERLY TESTED first.

Ztotherad got pretty lucky installing the 2.35 update he found on there, that he was able to sbf back without hard bricking. People won't always be so lucky with leaks found (as illustrated by the bionic debacle with a leak found in cheesecake)

It's good that you are cautious, but have no fear, sbf from this ROM our any test build of it will be COMPLETELY possible, unless dragonz found a way to screw with some hard to mess with stuff lol

Correct

As long as they don't base it on untested leaked firmware;)

Which dzk would not do

And neither would nitro

Oh yeah, thats right. DK is working with the same kernel, firmware, etc. I knew that. I wasnt thinking. lol. Either way, Im still glad he's going through official testing with some experienced people.

ok, I got ask the question: since they are in the process of testing, do they observe ICS is better than gingerbread on X2? If change is not significant, i am seriously thinking about getting another DINC2 to replace it.
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
No one has said what its like on the x2 yet
[Motorola Droid X2] S3AL3DF4T3:
I was wondering the same thing and so I asked DZK.
[Motorola Droid X2] BluPhant:
W00t!

Methinks its time to make a new clockwork backup..... :)
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
Just remember clockwork doesn't change the kernel. If your on 2.3.5 the only way back is sbf.
[Motorola Droid X2] CadenH:
Im curious. I read in the cm7 thread that chrome wont work on our cm9 due to kernal issues, which is fine because chrome for android is crap, but it worries me that we may have the same issue with launchers. I love apex and Nova. Trebuchet is to dry for me. I may go back to eclipse if this holds true.

This post isn't intended to disrespect dragonz or his work. I'm in love with cm7 for this phone.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
I think its important to keep in mind that while our rom may be like and maybe even better than ics, our kernel will not be an official ics one. Thus no ics apps.

Come over to the dark side...
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
It will be ics. But some features may not be usable due to the kernel and even then there may be workarounds.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
That's what I just said...

Come over to the dark side...
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
Actually you said it will be like or better than ics. That sounds like your saying it wont be ics. Just playing with words here don't mean any harm. :thumbup:
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
OK then...

Come over to the dark side...
[Motorola Droid X2] CadenH:
That's what I'm wondering. Are launchers kernel dependant or not? I'm sure a workaround could be found especially since cm9 comes with trebuchet which is an ics launcher so I know its possible
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
Depends on if it relies on the kernel or not. Im no Dev tho so I don't know the specifics.
[Motorola Droid X2] wesfree:
My wives dx has cm9 running on gingerbread kernel and it has trebuchet launcher
[Motorola Droid X2] CadenH:
I suppose we will have to wait and see then. Can you download apex and see if it works with your wife's phone?
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
I would think that if the stock launcher was fine on gb then ics replacements would work.
[Motorola Droid X2] wesfree:
Apex works
[Motorola Droid X2] Bohnsta:
What I've learned from my Kindle Fire is you don't need a 3.0 kernel to have ics. Some features might be missing though like hw acceleration (HD youtube and Netflix).
[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
That's no good....I'd pretty much want HD Netflix and YouTube lol

Sent from my stupid smartphone
[Motorola Droid X2] CadenH:
Thats all i needed to know.

That's where my interest lies. Which features are kernel dependant. Its odd that chrome is kernel dependant but I guess that's Google's way of saying "we've forgotten about you gingerbread"

I can't wait. I won't be upgrading until the camera works, but it is great to see that somebody is working to make our phones relevant for at least a while longer.

Seriously, it's sad when entire teams at Motorola can't accomplish what a single hobbyist can.
[Motorola Droid X2] Jubomime:
I realize that, but I was responding to the question what does cm9 bring that cm7 didn't. No, im not expecting the camera to be functional out of the gate, nor am I really expecting ANYTHING from an ics port to a phone that didn't have cm at all two weeks ago. But a guy can HOPE, and we are talking about dzk.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I'm with you on that. The video I saw didnt have wifi working either. Dragonzkiller has it working. :D
[Motorola Droid X2] ComputerNmyPocket:
The official Google ics page says the browser rendering has been dramatically improved. I'm hoping that translates to smoother scrolling.
[Motorola Droid X2] rbellis:
Doesn't a true ics port use the dual cores better for a faster phone with improved battery life?
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
yes, but i suppose thats from using the ics kernel
[Motorola Droid X2] litetaker:
Apparently that is not true. You DON'T need a 3.x ICS kernel to get improved Multitasking. So, stop spreading a lie, I would say. We are getting the full deal here! All of ICS features (except those that are technically not possible like face unlock) are coming.
[Motorola Droid X2] Jubomime:
A little harsh calling it a lie. Common misconception, maybe.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Just saw that someone asked dragonzkiller if we can expect the camera to work. He replied "haha! You're funny :)" Dont know if that means yes or no. lol
[Motorola Droid X2] atomikhippo:
I'm pretty sure he means no. The camera is an issue with most ports of cm9 and stock ics. I have had cm9 on my galaxy tab for over a month and it's still an ongoing issue. I'm going to bet that video playback will be an issue too.
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
If only there was an easy way to dual boot between ROM images. THAT would be sweet. I know there was an app released that allows this, but I don't think it works with the X2. Has anyone used this app (Called BootManager) on the X2? I'm not sure if it will work since it's not officially supported on it.

http://lifehacker.com/5826050/how-to-dual-boot-multiple-roms-on-your-android-phone

UPDATE: On the BootLoader Pro page, it looks like we are SOL. Since we are a 2nd-init device, it must be able to use the CM7 recovery or the one that comes with ROM Mananger - neither of which works with us UNLESS DZK's recovery for the DX2 CM7 works. I guess it wouldn't hurt to try, but it costs $2.99 for the app and I don't want to purchase it to find out it doesn't work. So, I guess I'll just have to be resigned to only running one ROM at a time and having to SBF and nandroid back and forth.

[Motorola Droid X2] rbellis:
if that is the case, then I will stay with CM7. I use my camera often and I love it. I do not own a digital camera because I have my phone on my all the time. If the camera does not work then I am staying with my CM7
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Thats why it is an alpha release. Some big things are not working at the moment. I will flash it just to check it out, but Im sure it wont be good enough for an every day ROM. I just mainly want to see ICS on my phone. Even if it only temporary.
