Yep did that. Up and running on Alpha5! I know that I have to have the power cable plugged in to access the BSR but once I'm in the recovery console can I remove the power cord or do I have to leave it plugged in?
[Motorola Droid X2] dark_system:
You can remove it once in bsr. Won't hurt anything.

I usually leave it plugged in until I am ready to reboot, then unplug and reboot.
[Motorola Droid X2] kenjesse:
I try to always be 100% charged and stay plugged in for the entire process but then I'm paranoid...lol

You should also familiarize yourself with rerecovery...

I've noticed that the DPI/resolution/sharpness of the X2 doesnt seem be as good as my X running CM9. Is there something I can do?

Also is the V6 thing worth doing?

A Direct Link to ICS Recovery?

The RoM is great so far. I am looking for a ICS or Alpha5 Compatible recovery. Thought someone on here would have tried some various old recoveries touch, bsr or cwr, etc. Appreciate the link in advance!

I can say the v6 Script is worth it. Not for the faint of heart, but amazingly well written too! If using it The best way to run script is with app called script manager. open app, open script,click root icon, then run,,,
[Motorola Droid X2] kenjesse:
The only recovery I'm aware of that works for us with cm7 or 9 is the patched cm7 BSR referenced in the OP.

Don't know if it's the ROM or Verizon but since going to Alpha5 I can send people text messages and they receive them but I get no text back, just tested it with my wife's phone... she gets my message but I get nothing back when she responds. I'm using GOSmsPro. Anyone else having text issues? I guess I will *228 and see what happens...
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
No text message problems here. i use the stock messaging app.

Removed GOSmsPro and rebooted phone and a crap load of messages came through. Gonna stick with stock messenger also.

Just curious, I might have missed it, but has anyone tried to do a Tablet UI on this yet? I'd love to use my old X2 as mini tablet, if possible. I tried one built for the epic 4g(yes I know its not our phone but thought to try it) but it crashed and wouldn't work.
[Motorola Droid X2] wolfballz:
Unfortunately not enough info on that link but it would be cool if they decided to do it for all phones.
[Motorola Droid X2] Ban-Hammer:
Probably not. This phone is too old for them to care. It's probably a going forward thing. Which will DEFINITELY influence my upgrade. Moto has awesome hardware. My X2 has taken some serious abuse. But I digress...

Maybe if we push that bootloader petition thing pretty hard, Moto will cave and make the modders happy for once.

I know it activates when I place it on my old palm pre touchstone. It doesn't charge, obviously, but the magnets activate the dock and emulate it. And if dragonzkiller says it was fixed, I would believe him.
[Motorola Droid X2] Ban-Hammer:
Cool. I actually pulled apart an old HDD and used the magnet from it. The ICS dock is pretty standard, so I think I will use the Alarm Clock Plus one (unless I find a more fully featured holo dock)

Sorry if this has been discussed already but I didn't see anything about in the last 50 pages or so... I noticed with CM9 on my X and this ROM on my X2 that I can send and receive pictures in text just fine but I can't seem to receive video text messages. Actually it shows that it was received but only shows a still image of the video and doesn't actually play back. Is there a work around for this or it's just the way it is?
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
It's a known issue. All mms is spotyy at best on cm9dx2.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I dont think MMS is spotty in Alpha 5. I can send and receive pictures with no problem at all. Video, however, I'm not sure about. I never send videos through MMS.
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
Mms encompasses picture,video,and sound. That's why I said it was spotty. Pictures work but the other two rarely works.

Yeah way too good to be true and not coming to Dx2 , Verizon already nixed plans for moto unlocks on some devices.

Another question... sorry. Has anyone tried using boot manager to dual boot 2.3.4 and Alpha5? Curious cause I would like to do this but am a little skeptical to try since I don't know which one should put first since there's "slots" and not sure if I put Alpha5 first or 2.3.4. Any one with a little know how on this would be appreciated.

***Nevermind about boot manager... their device list does not show X2***

Had anyone seen issues when using maps or navigate, where it stutters a bit and then all layers are cleared? Leaves me with a blank screen in maps, and only leaves the blue trip line in navigate. I've been using these two extensively this weekend on my trip and I have to keep restarting maps/navigate.

Also both apps have caused reboots intermittently...

I'm not running anything like supercharger scripts, and I've already uninstalled maps and downloaded again from play store and same behavior.

[Motorola Droid X2] grnsl2:
Yes. I use my x2 quite a bit for navigation. I've seen this quite a few times. I have a car dock that I use but just figure it is due to the screen graphic issue. Both navigation and while its happening maps give the same results.

Wonder if using a different gapps would help with this. Don't know, might be worth a try. There are a few choices out there, unless they're built for other phones.
[Motorola Droid X2] kenjesse:
I've had similar issues with navigation... you might want to give Waze app a try, it's a community based navigation app free in play store. Used it for a few weeks now without problems.
[Motorola Droid X2] catawalks:
I have that issue too. I find the best way to get the map redrawn is to launch Maps, then just hit the navigation button in the lower left hand corner to bring you back to your route, that redraws the Navigation maps and you are good to go. Well atleast that works for me.

Quick question; how do I get weather info to show in my drop down notification window?

I can't seem to figure it out :/
[Motorola Droid X2] smallzfsu:
I've always had to use an app to get that done. I think I've used weather bug and the weather channel app to get a persistent notification. Don't know if there's a weather widget in cm9 or not...

Use the accuweather app to get the weather up there. My phone and my fiancees have it there all day.

[Motorola Droid X2] twistmac:
Why is it that when I tryout this rom and decided to go back to CM7 I end up getting boot loops having to SBF? it doesn't matter if I try restoring a backup or if I just do a fresh flash of CM7, also this is after wiping everything (data, cache, dalvik). I'm just curious.
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
are you waiting long enough?

aftet wiping dalvik, can take a couple of mins to reboot
[Motorola Droid X2] Ban-Hammer:
If it has the "M" hang or splash looping, something else is wrong.

After wiping Dalvik, mine boots normally, then after the splash, it says "Optimizing apps X/Y".
[Motorola Droid X2] twistmac:
Well I can tell it's not just taking longer, but actually restarting the boot animation over and over. I guess I'll wait until a few of the last bugs get worked out so I hopefully can switch over and not need to go back.
[Motorola Droid X2] LordRalh3:
Lol since when is a bootloop a ROM issue, download again, and try again, follow the instructions to the letter, when it bootloops go into stock recovery and wipe data

Sent from my X2 roaming the North
[Motorola Droid X2] catawalks:
You need to wipe /system too. When you flash CM9 there are certain things that get created that mess with the system partition. When you are in recovery go to mounts and storage and wipe system, cache, dalvik, and data. Doesn't matter the order. Then after that restore from your backup and you should be all good to go.
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
Not likely,(yes I know I'm a mx2) the only hope for the older phones is a leaked sbf with an unlocked bootloader. Resource wise for Motorola its not worth dedicating developers to working on older phones. Where as with newer phones they can have all the developers they want on them and tell a hand full to make the unlocks possible. Also the phones undoubtedly will ship locked and you'd have to sign up to get the unlock option. Though it'd still be nice to finally see Motorola finally hold up their end of the bargin and unlock their boot loadera
[Motorola Droid X2] theredvendetta:
Optimizing apps? That's odd. I've never heard of that. Does it actually boot up properly?

---------- Post added at 03:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 PM ----------

Not at all. That is about an entirely different phone.
[Motorola Droid X2] dark_system:
I have seen it optimize apps several times with alpha4 and alpha 5 during boot up.

I think it might have something to do with mashup though. Not for sure. Usually after a cache wipe.
[Motorola Droid X2] catawalks:
It's new to ICS. It let's you know that the OS is rebuilding the cache for your installed and system apps. My understanding of it is that apps are split up into two parts, the part you use often that is loaded into cache for quick launch/load, and the part that is used less often. When it optimizes apps after a dalvik wipe it re-populates the cache with the first part of the app so boot times are quick and apps launch quickly. After that you shouldn't see it until you wipe dalvik again.
[Motorola Droid X2] kenjesse:
Are you standing on your left foot while holding the phone in your right hand when restoring the cm7 nand from the cm9 alpha 5 build? Because as we all know it's reversed for the alpha 3 & 4 builds. I know, I know, it's a noob question but sometimes we can forget the simple things... just saying :D:rolleyes:
[Motorola Droid X2] twistmac:
That makes sense, I didn't think about /system.
[Motorola Droid X2] almania6:
Does anyone one know how I can install a sound for when I type ? Like the sound that this rom has when you press options in the screen. Or can I just copy that sound file from the system and paste it somewhere in the keyboard file?
[Motorola Droid X2] wolfballz:
You can download a keyboard from the play store and they usually have "sound on keypress" options. I think the stock keyboard has that option as well.
[Motorola Droid X2] almania6:

Flashed this this morning great ROM I'm just having some issues connecting to wifi it worked great when I first flashed but after leaving it for awhile it disconnected and now it won't reconnect a reboot doesn't solve the issue, any recommendations?
[Motorola Droid X2] theredvendetta:
Most wifi problems are caused by either your router or your phone hanging when trying to obtain an IP for your phone. If a reboot doesn't solve the issue, you can try "forgetting" the wifi network, and then adding it again. If that doesn't work, you can try to assign your phone a static IP.
[Motorola Droid X2] Kagedin:
Thanks for the quick response, I tried forgetting it and then adding it again but with no luck, then after leaving it alone for a while (about half an hour or so) it just randomly connected so I'm just gonna chalk it up as a weird quirk. If the problem persists I'll try assigning a static IP. Thanks for the info
[Motorola Droid X2] theredvendetta:
No problem, let me know if you need help doing that.
[Motorola Droid X2] LordRalh3:
I think you should fire up a thread and run through the steps for setting the IP anyways, would be a good addition to our x2 forums id say
