Since nobody has said anything about this milestone yet, dragonzkiller has announced on twitter about 6 hours ago that CM9DX2 alpha might be released either tonight or tomorrow! Big props to him for working so hard on getting ICS onto our phones.
[Motorola Droid X2] lbroksle:
Yeah I'm stoked, thanks @dragonzkiller for all your hard work!

His twitter feed has always been the best place to keep track of his progess, did we really need a thread?
[Motorola Droid X2] rbellis:
Not everybody uses twitter.....I can't stand it. This thread is very helpful for those who don't use twitter
[Motorola Droid X2] atomikhippo:
Sure. Why not spread it around? Not everyone uses twitter. Also, not everyone uses XDA for their development needs. I bet someone here will post this topic on some other forum.
[Motorola Droid X2] Jubomime:
Plus, take away our ranting, spamming, and trolling, and all that xda would be is a bunch of download links.

[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
I only have a twitter account set up to follow devs. I just creep looking for new posts every day. Or every second if they're about to drop a link haha
[Motorola Droid X2] antEris:
That's crazy, its almost like it would be a forum solely dedicated to development ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] Ihatepullups:
So, I'm curious, what benefits do we get from cm9 as opposed to cm7? Ics is nice, but will there be new features? Or is it just a cleaned up GUI. I know that ics should be able to multi-thread when gingerbread can't, so is that going to happen with our phones? (my guess is not until kexec starts working)
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Well as of right now, only dragonzkiller knows how much ICS it will bring us. If its a full CM9 port, Im sure we will have all of the ICS features unless some things dont work. But this is a first Alpha so I'm sure not everything will work. It's just a wait and see right now.
[Motorola Droid X2] Jubomime:
Im hoping for zero shutter lag, if he has the camera working.
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
At least it's in the general forum lol
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Im sure there will be quite a few things not working at first. He's probably only releasing it because he has the main stuff working like data, wifi, cellular network, hopefully sms. I've been watching some videos on cm9 and saw that some other ports didnt have the camera working.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
yea

BUT

just IMAGINE what devices will be sporting by then!

hopefully days worth of battery life lol
[Motorola Droid X2] Staggo:
Doubt it.

More powerful phones = more power supply needed = Bigger battery.

More efficient phones maybe, but they won't be nearly as powerful as the high-end ones.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
better battery life(at least in the sense that im talking about...days on a charge...maybe more)) IS GOING to come from advances im battery technology. there is only so much that can be done with the OS/kernel/hardware to improve battery life. ESPECIALLY with the large displays we have.

when you see battery powered cars making advances in their battery technology that will easily translate into better battery life for pretty much everything else. there has to be a change in battery materials for this to happen....but it will....trust me...it will :)

oh...and sorry for the hijack ;)

How does one look into this early upgrade thing. Being as how I've never heard of it Surely I have not used it... and is it possible to buy a Droid not on Verizon and Switch(hack) it over?
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
I'm just guessing here but I think you can trade your phone in and pay like $99 to upgrade early
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
I tried to upgrade early and they told me they no longer do that. Hopefully you get better customer service than I did.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
That really sucks.
[Motorola Droid X2] Alan Wolfe:
Well, that is a bunch of bull crap. You can upgrade any time you want. You just have to pay full price for the phone. Just go to myVerizon, login, and upgrade.

Not to hijack this thread, but, thanks! :) It's my personal CCW carry item. Taurus PT-1911 Duo Tone. I like it. :D
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
They offer an early upgrade after 12-18 months on your current contract. I had to pay 20.00 for being over 6months before contract end. I got offered my early upgrade via vzw text and then got.my x2 a while later. Then after two of them I complained more and got a 21month early upgrade and picked up my charge. That's my experience on how it works

[Motorola Droid X2] theredvendetta:
Sorry, but that is completely incorrect. It's not as if manufacturers don't invest their time into developing batteries that improve upon the ones people constantly complain about.

In fact, there is a new technology produced where they literally poke a series of holes in a specific pattern all over the core of a lithium ion battery. It allows for crazy battery life, upwards of 100 hours on an iPad. That's pretty impressive.

Imagine that kind of battery manufactured for the Galaxy Nexus. Dear gawd.
[Motorola Droid X2] samari71:

U might as well start from scratch and stop asking. its his baby and he won't give it up nor would I. He isn't stuck he is just not going to release until he is satisfied it works as it should. It'll probably be an alpha however seeing his work I am sure it'll be beta or rc level.

No sense in releasing it just to have a thread full of bugs and complainers things don't work.

Just my two cents

[Motorola Droid X2] CadenH:
One thing I want people to understand is cm9 is already buggy, it would be in everyone's best interest and wait for extra bugs to be ironed out. He's as busy as anyone else is and isn't constantly catering to what we want, and believe me I want ics for this phone. Its kinda hard to for me to follow the conversation on the last couple pages because it doesn't make any sense to me lol but I'm gonna throw in my two cents anyway. Patience will pay off that's for sure. Once cm9 is done Im secretly hoping aokp gets ported :) but it will obviously take time.
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:

i think the files he needs for cm9dx2 to make it work good must come from motorola or ics developers and you know they are not going to release that they want us to buy a new phone and why should we when our phone is grat just the way it is but would be fantastic with ics
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
our phones only great because of the dev work from nitro, dkz, ace and others

our phone stock sucks majorly

[Motorola Droid X2] pvcdroid:
Not sure why someone can't put together a small blur patch for CM7 or 9 that would get HDMI and the FM radio working. It seems nuts to just through away these hardware capabilities/ features for the purity of being on this AOSP only ROM. I'd love to try CM but won't give up these features. Plus, there are a lot of phones with radios and HDMI, so I don't get it.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
If it was that simple, Dragon or Moon would've done it already. The fact that nothing has surfaced would lead on to think its a little beyond them.
[Motorola Droid X2] robocuff:
Well,from what I understand, the drivers that are needed for HDMI to work aren't generic. They are proprietary drivers written by Motorola and they haven't (won't) release the source code for them. So, given that, any dev who wanted to try to get it working would have to write the drivers themselves. From the ground up. It would require a huge amount of time and work. Not such a simple task.

[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Ask moon shadow or message dragon on twitter if you really want to know.
[Motorola Droid X2] Skelente:
From twitter:

This is a pretty disappointing response IMHO. Granted, he had troubles with people making improper commits with his work on CM7 when he had more up on git, but honestly there are a lot of new android users on the dx2 and this would be a great opportunity for more people to LEARN so we wouldn't need to be dependent on one or two devs for our device (especially since the only major dev supporting not only this device but others as well is nitro). As we've already seen ace is definitely a capable dev (although being somewhat hindered by lacking init information) and if we had more information released we could see even more development for this device from other devs as well.

Plus, CM9 is nice and all but there are a lot more ICS based roms being developed now (AOKP, Gummy, Axiom, etc) that have progressed much faster than CM9 and everything is based on OPEN SOURCE. Credit can be given where due, and we are all definitely thankful for the work dzk and others have done thus far. BUT our device is difficult enough as it is with the proprietary libs and drivers used by Moto and nVidia, having this hindered by devs unwilling to release techniques used is just going to hinder the progress on the device, not better it.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
You cannot see the future; Dragon MIGHT be planning on releasing everything shortly after he is finished. The man can withhold whatever info he wants. He owes us absolutely nothing.

And add far as his interactions with ace: it is quite possible they have been talking this whole time. You never know...
[Motorola Droid X2] king..kranium:
Well I would love aokp on this beast and I'm sure tons upon tons of people could port it, without a 4.t kernal what would we have? Crap. U wanna help( u sound alot smarter than me) check out the kexec thing...

Cyanogenmod
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
HDMI already works in cm7dx2 but only in portrait.
[Motorola Droid X2] Skelente:
Not saying he owes us ****, but I am saying that it would further the progress on this device. He can do whatever he want, but putting forward more information is going to be beneficial for him and us. Understandably he's got other **** to worry about, we all have other stuff to worry about, but the more heads working on this the better/faster we can get kinks sorted out.

Actually even with the GB kernel ICS would be great on our device. I've got a DX running Gummy right now and it's very smooth (and it can run CM9 and AOKP just fine as well). What would REALLY be beneficial though is the HWA (hardware acceleration). As far as working on this goes, I would love to get a working port of Gummy but this is my first Android device as well, so there is a lot to learn, which is compounded by the fact that not everything with our device is open source (so, again, props to dzk as this is clearly not a cakewalk.)
[Motorola Droid X2] Travisdroidx2:
So no one else can produce what dragonzkiller has done? This is his baby why would he want to give it away? This is his project and he takes pride in his work. I would not hand it over also. I would want others to figure out what he did just like he did. Don't get me wrong I would love ICS but don't think DK needs to give away his work.

Is there a good thread for noobs to post bugs for CM7dx2? The how to thread asks for bugs to be posted in it, but it is a development thread so nogo for noobs (like me).
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
I'm beginning to loathe the term noob. Don't label yourself man :)

Get your post count higher by hanging around the general section to get to the developer section. You don't have to be a dev to get into the section btw.

If you have multiple questions, start a thread in the q and a section.

It isn't frowned upon to post a question in the development threads

But STARTING a NEW thread in development with a question is "against the rules"

i know i'm going to here crap over this but i want to know why every time cm9dx2 is set for release something come was supposed to release what he had over the weekend and then says he rebaseing the whole make you wonder whats going on
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
DKZ is going to school and hes very busy w/ that, thats why that happens, he has very limited time to dev, but this past weekend hes been working on it, but hes gotta go back to school now, so well see it soon enough
[Motorola Droid X2] unt0uchable:
He's already accomplished the rebasing, and is working through bugs right now (according to his last tweet). We've got a screen shot of 4.0.4 running and he has announced that the graphics issue is resolved. I'd say that's pretty good progress considering he was cut short on dev'ing this weekend due to the massive storms that tore through wherever he is at.

Be happy :D He's back to working on it.
[Motorola Droid X2] samari71:
i understand that but every time i had a problem with aceoyames miui usally got an answer of how he could help all im saying is all we got on cm9dx2 is photo why not give us a little taste of it sorry if im questioning authority but thats how i am
[Motorola Droid X2] Stuckinabox:
It's great to have him back working on it, but this rom is going to be really weak without the camera. I hope we get some help when the Atrix 4G gets updated.
[Motorola Droid X2] ComputerNmyPocket:
No Camera? Ohhh no, then that would make the rom pointless for me. CM7 has no continuous auto-focus on the camcorder, not just Dragonzkillers release but it sounds like all CM7 releases have that problem. Not sure if they fixed it in CM7.2 though.

This may sound like a simple question not worthy of a developers time but could the blur camera be pulled from the stock rom and put into CM7 or CM9? I just don't have the know how to do that on my own.
[Motorola Droid X2] litetaker:
What you say can't be done. As all of blur is removed, hence nothing Blurry (:p) will work on the CM7/9 ROMs. Plus CM9 camera issues are due to incompatibilities with the kernel. I guess Atrix 4G's stock ICS kernel (once it comes out) may help, but since we can't run a different kernel, then the only way is to use a kernel module of some sort. Anyway, Hashcode succeeded in getting the camera sorta working on D3/Bionic/Razr/etc. So it is doable. But don't count on it getting done soon.

My Dinc2 that has an unlocked Bootloader also has an iffy camera (works but has problems). We are hoping that when ICS comes (for Dinc2, not the DX2.. don't misinterpret), the stock kernel will fix this.

[Motorola Droid X2] Stuckinabox:
The issue is with Tegra 2, no? NVIDIA hasn't been helping devs at all as far as ICS goes so the camera isn't working on any ICS roms for Tegra 2 devices. When ICS comes out for the Atrix 4G, we'll have an official Tegra 2 driver from a Motorola phone to pick apart. If that doesn't help, I'm not sure what they're going to do.
[Motorola Droid X2] Xb0i:
some of these problems with cm9 for other phones makes me think a new rebase of cm7 would be better in the mean time since 7.2 has backported some features from ICS. However, dragonz is a talented dude, if he could get these problems ironed out (no doubt he can) then cm9 looks very promising.
