So, I was running CM9 for a while, but the battery life issue turned me back to a Eclipse, which I went to 2.3.5 for.

The bluesleep fix has me thinking, so if I wanted to get back to CM9, are there any issues SBF'ing back to 2.3.4 in order to do so?
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
Nope sbf, root, install bsr and flash cm9.
[Motorola Droid X2] GoClifGo05:
Ok i'm on eclipse and Used titanium backup to backup all my user apps + the text and mms. Since this is ICS will i have any issues restoring my apps or text messages?
[Motorola Droid X2] 32BitWhore:
Most of the apps I've done this with work fine (with one or two exceptions). I'd be careful with the SMS/MMS seeing as they're technically "system" data.
[Motorola Droid X2] GoClifGo05:
I was worried about the SMS/MMS too but they show up green in TB, not red like the system apps... That's why i asked. Thanks for your reply.
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
I use SMS to text to backup my texts. It works for any ROM I've flashed so far.
[Motorola Droid X2] knuckleheadTech:
I second using an alternative backup for SMS.

I've used Super Backup for over a year with no issues. I've backed up and restored on multiple roms and OS versions now. It basically creates an XML file so it is fairly human readable. I also make periodic contacts backups with it.
[Motorola Droid X2] Gblake13:
You can only use tibu to restore one app at a time

[Motorola Droid X2] LordRalh3:
.... You can batch restore just like you can batch backup in tibu. Dont restore app data from ics to gb and you should be fine
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I thought app data was fine. It was SYSTEM data we cant transfer. And I second what you say about batch restore. You can do more than one at a time.
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
I got a lot of force closes when I restored app data. Then I had to delete and reinstall the apps.
[Motorola Droid X2] GoClifGo05:
Cool thanks guys. I'm aware of the batch feature. I have sms backup+ but the only complaint is it restores the messages all out if order and even leaves some out. I'll think it over today and probably go for it. There are always nandroids right? :)
[Motorola Droid X2] 32BitWhore:
You're fine restoring app data for 95% of your apps. The only ones I've ever had issues are account data for my Starbucks app (weird), for some reason Maps restores fine but Street View doesn't, and sometimes Facebook does weird things with my account when I restore it. All three are easy enough to do manually.
[Motorola Droid X2] dan123abc:
Im pretty sure the apps will work if you only restore the app, without data if you want to be safe. You could try restoring both, but I wouldn't risk it. The text messages should be just fine.

For everyone who has gotten tired of the never ending frequently called list and are tired of deleting and restoring contacts just to fix it...stress no longer !

This will clean the list or you can patch to disable the feature permanently, also restore the list if you choose. :D

I was on paranoid android and tried it. I used tibu. It's batch restore that's not working. I did app and data but had to do each one at a time. The messaging app and messages should be ok as long as it's not the stock app. I use hand cent.

I have been on cm9dx2 since alpha 1,and nothing seemed to help with freeze ups and random reboots. Well I flashed "Geeky Engine" after reading mixed reviews. And I did not uninstall v6. This rom is buttery smooth now. No reboot or freezes, going on 74 hrs since flashing.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
What is geeky engine?

EDIT: Did a quick search. Found it. May try it out.
[Motorola Droid X2] 32BitWhore:
I feel like I've found my sweet spot for this ROM and thought I'd share.

Blue sleep fix, obviously, for the battery life.

Believe it or not, I've had better results personally without supercharging. (Lots of random freezes and general slowness when I did).

Disabled auto rotate for the annoying browser crashes.

Downloaded System Tuner from the Play Store, switched manually to deadline I/O with 1024 cache tweak, used the apps "Aggressive" OOM groupings, and used his "Recommended" sysctl settings. Set all of these to automatic "on boot completed."

Finally, I've switched from Trebuchet to Apex launcher (very lightweight, stock-like launcher, although the most recent version has started FCing so I TiBU'd back a version which I can post if there's any interest).

Overall, it has made this ROM an incredibly reliable daily driver. Fast, very few random reboots unless I'm doing something weird, doesn't SOD very often, and overall seems snappier, not to mention a full day of battery life no matter how much I use it. I'd like some feedback if you guys try any of this so I know I'm not crazy.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I flashed that Geeky Engine mod and I dont really see a big difference. A lot of people were saying that permissions were wrong and everything. If the permissions arent right, the script isnt doing anything. Apparently, the creator of it is a kid and doesnt post much for some reason. Also the thread has been closed as requested by the OP. So I'm not even sure its doing anything. The scripts in system/etc/init.d/ that were added by the zip arent the same permissions as the others in there. Shouldnt they be the same?
[Motorola Droid X2] Rbain:
re-flashed cm9 beta and mms not working?

Just reflashed CM9 and now i have no menu option to insert or attach pic in messaging. any help most appreciated.
[Motorola Droid X2] PCWright86:
I saw all of that in the post, but also saw were other had good results. So I tried it after making a nandroid and it seemed to smooth alot out for me.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
There was another zip in there where someone said he fixed the permissions and posted a zip. I used that one after using the original. The permissions changed but they are still different than the other scripts in there. I was going to try to change the permissions to match the others but I wanted to get some insight on whether they need to be the same or not. I thought, generally, permissions should all be the same in one folder but not 100%. I'm pretty sure the supercharger scripts were the same permissions as the original ones.
[Motorola Droid X2] Oldblackcrow:
I'm rather jealous now... I need my camera and can't take the chance on messing up my phone due to time constraints. I'll have to wait til it goes to beta. Great work DZ!

[Motorola Droid X2] A2Trip:
Couldn't live without my camera...other the that...fairly smooth. I'll wait for an update though. Good job DZK. And thanks.

You should be able to say two to select the update option via voice recognition.

Or, read through the thread to see what was already mentioned about this issue.

not sure if anyone else has found this....but...when you select reboot from the power menu it gives the option to reboot into recovery...and when it boots it brings up the triangle with the Android dude....however, if you press both volume buttons at the same time...it brings up the Android System Recovery BLUE menu...not sure if the options there work...but wanted to others know...this is on CM9 btw

'mms rarely works..' - my mms seems to be working fine.. maybe because im on wifi, but ill have to see when i leave my house.
[Motorola Droid X2] CarlosBattousai:
Hold on a min here? Clockworkmod? Doesn't everyone tell you NEVER to you CWM on the Droid X²? With Cm7 Dragonkiller said never to use it to use BSR then the modded one. Remember CWM will work a few times,but will get you boot looped!

Install Cm7 BSR

You should be able to hold the menu button and the dial pad should appear.

When I get off work I may try messing with the permissions a bit.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I've tried something today that may have made my phone a bit smoother and quicker. I did this on AOKP but I'm sure its a general ICS thing.

Anyway, I went into developer options and did two things. I turned "Force GPU rendering" on. And I set the "Background Process Limit" to 3. You can set that to whatever you like. I just chose 3. I searched around and found people saying it sped up their phone. Others said its a useless option for general users and only for developers. I guess it makes multitasking worse, obviously, since it doesnt keep the background processes going. But With the short time I have had these options set, things seem to load faster and lag less. Just a thought. If you guys try it, post your results.

Note: the "Background Process Limit" seems to change back to the default setting after a reboot. So you will have to check it periodically.
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
Since android is based on linux, file permissions dont neccessarily have to match that of the other files. As long as the scripts have the right commands entered when they were created, have the right permissions for scripts (genrerally 555 or r-x or permutation of read and execute permissions together in both the user and group sections), and are owned by the right user and group such as the owner and group being root.root or system.system. matching the permissions of the other files will just mean that the system should read them the same as the other files. obviously nandroid before making any serious changes, theres a possiblity of cm9 not loading afterword. then again im just a linux student right now so my knowlege is somewhat limited
[Motorola Droid X2] CarlosBattousai:
Glad I saw this!!!

I've been on Cm7 all this time and it's gotten lagy so I'm formatting so I fig I'll try THIS beta of CM9 (I've tried the older Alhpas)

Other then this and super charger and thing else I should do/be aware of? (outside of what DragonKiller post in the OP?)
[Motorola Droid X2] wolfballz:
Snappier on AOKP for me... thanks for this, it has made a noticeable difference.
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
I got away from the 'scene' for many, many months and I'm just now coming back and happy to see Dragonz has this CM9, but I wasn't sure what version of Android to be on. I first tried the 2.3.5 SBF and got the status 7 error. A quick search found this comment and wanted to thank you for informing me that I'm to be on 2.3.4 and NOT 2.3.5. :D
[Motorola Droid X2] Oldblackcrow:
I have moved back to stock and I don't see any advantage to CM. It's laggy no matter what. I think the main reason is that the new apps just take too many resources for our hardware... but please correct me if I'm wrong.

I timed some of my lags on CM7 and stock... and they are about equal (generally taking 2-10 seconds to switch from an app in the foreground to a currently running app in the background.

Also, freeze ups are also about equal.

Much appreciation goes to DZK but our hardware just sucks.

My next phone will be a Nexus devise... just don't know if I'm going to stay with Verizon or move over to T-Mobile or Ting.
[Motorola Droid X2] Ban-Hammer:
CM7 is fast as hell for me. I SBF'd about a week ago and stock was faster than I remember it being. CM7 has little to no lag for me. But I do notice a difference. Do you have your second core enabled? Or your governor set way low?

And our hardware is still decent. It's not garbage, but it's better than a lot of other phones.

Plus, what do you expect from a device that is almost 2 years old? Sorry for seeming hostile, I just experience almost no problems with this phone, and I think we can all agree that it has served us well, regardless of how impatient we may be at times ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] PCWright86:
I agree with cm7 the x2 is blazing fast. With cm9 it has some lag. But its expected, we are running what some said we never could, thanks to DZK. My friend is on official ICS with his Razr and it also has similar lag. So by no means is our hardware garbage.. Its locked would be a better term...
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
So has anyone seen dragonzkillers latest tweet? What's that all about!?
[Motorola Droid X2] CarlosBattousai:
Ya since he didn't say CM10 I've been scaning the interwebs for news of Motorola giving the Droid X2 Jellybean, but nothing yet X.X
[Motorola Droid X2] s.morgan0310:
Dz has lots of surprises we don't know about.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I'm sure he means the CM10 that he's been working on. I was just wondering if he was getting ready to release it. He doesn't usually post stuff like that otherwise.
[Motorola Droid X2] s.morgan0310:
I know I talked with him earlier about stability compared to cm9 and he laughed lol. So don't give your hopes up.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Well it's not nice to post something that gets everyones hopes up for nothing. Lol
[Motorola Droid X2] s.morgan0310:
No news fir a couple of hours so I don't know what he has IP his sleeve.
[Motorola Droid X2] Oldblackcrow:
I did all that (turned on second core, ensured governor set to performance, etc), but I travel for a living and between Wi-Fi not staying connected (yes, I did all the mashups and stuff), the lags and the freezes, I just can't keep it as my daily driver.

Stock is worse, granted, but at least Wi-Fi stays on and my HDMI works. Small advantages, but advantages they are.

My wife has a razor maxx and maybe I'm getting spoiled on that when I play with it... but man, I just need something that works.

I don't think you're being hostile... so no worries there. I love mod'ing and stuff, but when I'm using my GPS, Bluetooth on a phone call and getting emails/texts, I can't afford for my phone to freeze up. Especially when I'm driving in strange places on a deadline.

I'm bummed, but reality is reality.

I'm totally going to try CM10, but DZ even admits "it almost works". Just don't know how much mental energy I have left for going back and forth with these roms.

You may as well upgrade to the new CM10 if you're thinking about using this. DKZ just updated CM10 and it's super stable. Install juice defender on balanced mode, and your battery will last all day. :victory:
[Motorola Droid X2] smallzfsu:
Agreed, I installed cm10 coming off this Rom and its way more stable. I was battery pulling probably 5 times a day on cm9, not once on cm10 yet.

[Motorola Droid X2] 32BitWhore:
Stock browser never FC once for me. I switched back to CM7 because my battery is getting tired (18 months old) and couldn't handle a full day, but I was impressed with 2.9 while I was running it. As stated in dzk's original post, there is no fix for the FC's while we are stuck with a GB kernel. Period.
[Motorola Droid X2] shaneg79:
Yeah I saw that which means it will always be that way since this is an old phone I went back to cm9 but still trying to figure out how to keep it from rebooting randomly.
[Motorola Droid X2] GoClifGo05:
Nothing you can really do about the reboots. Sadly CM10 is much more stable but as you know has the FC issues. CM7 is really the only one that offers complete stability.

does cm9 have the phone call proximity issue as well?
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
it does not. the proximity sensor issue only popped up in cm 10
[Motorola Droid X2] Lorenzo VonMatterhorn:
thanks sir. i might prefer random reboots to my phone not being able to make anything but speakerphone calls. and it has trasparency! :cowboy:
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
personally i found that cm9 ran much smoother then cm 10(forceclose wise). however it did tend to slow down occasionally
[Motorola Droid X2] Lorenzo VonMatterhorn:
so today after using this rom for 24 hours, i noticed the lack of power menu options? and also, when i performed a reboot, the boot logo hung all the way through boot animation like it WAS the boot animation, then i had a black screen . i could still tap on things with vibrating feedback like it was running, but just a black screen. this is something i have never experienced on cm10 . ill take proximity sensor hiccups over that any day. the worst part is that they both have features that the other doesnt. cm10 is lacking transparency , cm9 is lacking proper basic options, but has LOADS of rubbish ones that i dont see any average user ever even messing with. cm10 is way better. i just wish that it didnt have phone call issues.... :cowboy:
[Motorola Droid X2] TheTechnicalBoss:
You can always try re-flashing the ROM? The only problem I have ALWAYS had with cm9 is that no matter what it freezes every couple minutes making the screen freeze for up to 5 minutes! -.-
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
Some roms I have found take time to settle. I came back to cm9 recently myself and have found it to run almost perfectly. I have yet to run into any of the issues that is native with our phones. Even chrome is working next to perfectly, with a little lag. I found issues clear up with a reinstall and wiping everything before and after installing the rom.

[Motorola Droid X2] Lorenzo VonMatterhorn:
i might give it another shot. any way to fix the power menu to not show 100 things? i cant seem to find it in options.
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
it might be possible to modify it somehow. modifying the framework or some other resourse to get it to only show what you want.
[Motorola Droid X2] Lorenzo VonMatterhorn:
i can confirm that chrome works flawlessly on cm9, even tab previews and all that. just sayin.
[Motorola Droid X2] joewiddafro:
Would there be any advantage to using this ROM over Cyanogenmod 10?
[Motorola Droid X2] Lorenzo VonMatterhorn:
a bit more stable. no issues with proximity sensor during calls. better battery life, and crt off animation (i know this one doesnt really matter) to name a few. give it a shot, if you like cm10, youll like cm9.:cowboy:
[Motorola Droid X2] TheTechnicalBoss:
Seriously every time I have a doubt or issue somehow what you tell me helps me :D I'm running cm9 now :D
[Motorola Droid X2] Lorenzo VonMatterhorn:
i have been running it for about a week and i think it is a few steps above cm10. mainly because the phone call issue was VERY frustrating to me. also it has been pretty cool being able to use chrome without any hiccups. i havent been able to get it to crash yet. if these two things worked the same in cm10, it would be much better. i have had this thing happen once where during a reboot, it hangs at the dual core screen all the way through the boot animation and vibration , requiring me to pull the battery. this happened only once, but i also seem to experience less random reboots with this rom for some reason. for me, it feels more sturdy . cm10 made my x2 feel like a hollow shell of its former self . lol. :cool:
[Motorola Droid X2] TheTechnicalBoss:
One question i have for you, do you care about how much ram mb is left when all your programs are running or not? ha because i freak out when my ram space goes below 160 mb
[Motorola Droid X2] Lorenzo VonMatterhorn:
i mean, if i run any apps besides what comes with cm9 , most of my ram is used up anyway. in place of using facebook,twitter, or other such apps, i use their sites through the built in browser, because half of the time the actual apps are running in the background using the small amount of ram i do have when i am not even using them. i have also read that amount of free ram isnt that big of a deal, because the way android makes things so accessable is by keeping apps open (using ram) . :cowboy:
[Motorola Droid X2] TheTechnicalBoss:
thanks :) the only reason i use the app for twitter and facebook is because my school blocks them from being accesed through their wifi:silly:
