[Motorola Droid X2] Lorenzo VonMatterhorn:
today the strangest thing happened. i was using chrome in landscape mode, and the screen started to go black pixel by pixel, almost in a wave pattern. it really confused me, then kind of worried me. i thought , oh boy here it finally is, the product of all of my tinkering. the screen was black, unresponsive. i pulled the battery and turned her back on, she booted normally, but my screen was not responding to touches at first. and then , only in certain places, and then, all over the place even when i wasnt touching it, or when my finger was easily an inch from the screen. this is something i have NEVER experienced on ANY rom. and i have tried them all. needless to say, i restored my backup of cm10, my screen stopped acting up, and it hasnt happened since. just a heads up, i dont know if it could happen to anyone else, but be warned.
[Motorola Droid X2] TheTechnicalBoss:
This happened to me so i just wiped cache and it fixed it. Well what happened to me was that the screen froze turned black than the phone restarted and it wouldn't go past the M logo but when it finally did it didn't respond to my touches and it acted on it's own so i kept trying for a half hour and then i finally decided to wipe cache and it fixed it for me
[Motorola Droid X2] Lorenzo VonMatterhorn:
yeah i sorted it out, but it scared me....lol cm9 is still the best rom i have tried though. i flashed back just a few minutes ago :cowboy:

really every rom we have has quirks of its own. i feel like this one runs the best.
[Motorola Droid X2] TheTechnicalBoss:
I would strongly agree with this. I tried playing some games that consumed quite a bit of ram and my phone didn't slow down other than the typical lag once in a while so I'm sticking with cm9 until dragonzkiller releases more about 4.2. By any chance do you happen to know where we can get some inverted gapps for cm9?
[Motorola Droid X2] Lorenzo VonMatterhorn:
i actually just found inverted mms that works, i havent tried any others. you read my mind! i did this like two days ago...lol

with the way versions update so quickly, most links seem to be broken or non compatable.

[Motorola Droid X2] TheTechnicalBoss:
Lol thanks I'll try it right now :D and well after flashing to eclipse for a 12 hours I am once again in cm9, to me this is the best ROM for the droid, it functions good enough to be a daily driver and also the look of it is just amazing :D
[Motorola Droid X2] Lorenzo VonMatterhorn:
i always try to be completely happy with a rom, but all of them have some drawbacks, and it has made me realize it is really just this phone. not the best. so now i just deal. i honestly didnt care about ICS when cm9 first came out, and didnt really try 4.0+ until cm10 came out. after using that for a while i was just curious,so i gave this a shot. and it seems like over time this rom had a LOT more bugs dealt with and ironed out. hopefully 10.1 is as good as cm9. :cowboy:

we are spamming the hell outta this thread lol , lets PM with any further conversation on the topic.
[Motorola Droid X2] Lorenzo VonMatterhorn:
after using this for a few weeks, i have noticed quite a few lags/bugs that cm10 does not have. the slightly better battery life might not be enough to keep me on this.on cm10, my phone never really just completely froze. last night i stared at my phone for ten minutes while it was doing NOTHING lol. statusbar, homescreens, and just about everything was glitching. probably going back to cm10 tonight. but then again..... i remember the phone call issue... :eek:
[Motorola Droid X2] TheTechnicalBoss:
I honestly didn't notice a difference from CM10 alpha 2 to CM10 alpha 3. I'm going to try out cm10 alpha 2 since it really never gave me problems and I love the look and feeling of it. As I am typing this my phone sits next to me with a frozen screen and does not respond to touches. :(
[Motorola Droid X2] Lorenzo VonMatterhorn:
same problem i have been having. if it wasnt for that happening occasionally, i would stay on it. cm10 here i come!
[Motorola Droid X2] TheTechnicalBoss:
Are you going on cm10 alpha 3 or alpha 2? let me know how it works out for you
[Motorola Droid X2] Lorenzo VonMatterhorn:
alpha 3 was always smooth and for the most part bug-free for me. only issue i have is the proximity sensor during calls. so i just use speakerphone. :cowboy:
[Motorola Droid X2] TheTechnicalBoss:
I would try alpha 3 again but considering that I talk on the phone about 3 hours or more a day with my girl I just can't have that issue :p
[Motorola Droid X2] joewiddafro:
It probably wouldn't even last 3 hours...battery life is terrible on CM10
[Motorola Droid X2] TheTechnicalBoss:
Just a quick quesion, which would you rather use, cm7 or eclipse?
[Motorola Droid X2] joewiddafro:
cm7, i like eclipse but cm7 is blur free
[Motorola Droid X2] TheTechnicalBoss:
Sorry for getting off topic here but have you had delayed text messages' problems?
[Motorola Droid X2] joewiddafro:
no, but some people are
[Motorola Droid X2] Lorenzo VonMatterhorn:
this is completely exaggerated and inaccurate .

---------- Post added at 11:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 PM ----------

this is a known bug with CM7DX2 itself. so there is no way that one person is magically " not" having it happen. it happens. on everyones phone. :rolleyes:
[Motorola Droid X2] joewiddafro:
I only tried texting on eclipse and I'm using CM9 now. ...and about the battery thing, you're right. My mileage was actually about 2 hours tops on CM10. Much better with CM9 however.
[Motorola Droid X2] joewiddafro:
Anybody who wants better battery life flash this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1864547. Its a fix for some bluetooth problem and it really helps
[Motorola Droid X2] TheTechnicalBoss:
I thought this was already in the latest build of CM9
[Motorola Droid X2] Lorenzo VonMatterhorn:
:silly: my phone trasported itself back to 1969 last night. pulldown read december 31st, 1969, and most things didnt work. a reboot fixed it. pretty wicked. :eek:
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
This happens occasionally. I've had a couple of nandroids say they were from 1969
[Motorola Droid X2] 32BitWhore:
I often wonder what would happen if I went back in time to, say, 1968. How would I know what day it was? Checkmate, Google.

After i flashed it my battery life improved by 3-5 hours a day. The screenshot is after heavy use after flashing the fix and starting the day on 80% battery.
[Motorola Droid X2] Arfyness:
I tried this and it did not work for me. I restored to stock (sbf method), then i activated in stock successfully. Then I rooted with the Pete's One Click tool, I wiped data, applied cm9, and I never could get any of these activation numbers to work. The only success I've had at "activate" or "update PRL" is to be in the stock rom.

Is there some radio or modem update I need to flash before I can do this and avoid the message "we cannot activate your phone at this time"?
[Motorola Droid X2] luciean138:
Try *PROGRAM and set your meid yourself, that's always worked for me
[Motorola Droid X2] mike253:
Same here. I get 20 hours with the extended battery with heavy occasional usage over stock/cm7 which was 12 hours. Big difference.

However, I will be personally be moving on from this phone. RAZR M for me (it was free on the website since I had an upgrade available to the account.)
[Motorola Droid X2] mamatechdroid:
Mine did the same thing a couple days ago but it was a quick simple fix. I just set the correct date and took off airplane mode. Also reset it later just because.

Just wanted to say this rom made me fall in love with my phone all over again so thank you, thank you, thank you.

P.s. HDMI. ...it let's you see the video on your TV but you can't hear it through the TV. Are there any available updates for this?
[Motorola Droid X2] jcsaxx:
Is there a way to fix the camera so it works? The first page of this thread says that the camera DOES work, but I haven't had it work once since installing this rom a couple of days ago. I tried searching the thread for answers, but haven't found it yet. I have even tried other camera apps.

Error is something like "can not connect to camera".

Hope someone can help. Thanks.

Also, everytime that the phone reboots, I get the activate screen. Anyway to make it stop?

Maybe I should go to CM 10...What you think?
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
Sounds like a bad flash. I would redo it
[Motorola Droid X2] hilltopper06:
Definitely try a reflash. I would wipe data/cache just to be safe as well.
[Motorola Droid X2] ahiredgeek:
This rom is fantastic. A daily driver even. I had to find slightly older gapps than what's newest. More in the date range of the rom update. There was also nothing about what bsr to use. I found out that you can use the custom cm7 bsr I'd you can still find it. I happened to have w copy still. Thanks for all the hard work. This rom really is fantastic. Breaths new life into this old bastard.

maybe not so great

i DO NOT suggest using V6 supercharger and the companion services jar patch. my phone has started rebooting when ever i put any kind of load on the memory. browsing too much tumbler, loading too many web sites, trying to multitask over just a few apps...etc.

and any of this could be due to some mess up on my part...but i followed instructions.
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
No its best not to. I found v6 to be a placebo effect.

i agree 100% ^
[Motorola Droid X2] unimatrix725:
There used to be a note to use 3rd party cam

I use vignette, which works just fine. I have since moved on to cm10 nd still use Vignette. Try that and see if it works for you, if not then reflash. I know flashing is time consuming, having to reinstall etc.
[Motorola Droid X2] Ollonk:
Quick question. Does the CM9 kernel support virtual memory (zram/swap space, what have you). I searched the thread but there was no mention of it.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid X2] 32BitWhore:
As the bootloader is locked, X2s are running the stock 2.3 kernel with no modifications regardless of ROM.

[Motorola Droid X2] Ollonk:
Ah. That explains the lousy performance across the board, then. No kernel, no improvements, dead device. Darn motorola.
[Motorola Droid X2] TC93:
Do any of these custom roms allow you to use higher resolution contacts? Or does the locked bootloader force you to still use low resolution contacts like the stock rom does?
[Motorola Droid X2] DQEight:
High rez contacts were introduced in ics I believe, so yes.
[Motorola Droid X2] HitMyKush:
Just buy new phones
[Motorola Droid X2] TC93:
I use Tracfone, so I can't buy the good phones, and they are extremely picky about what phones are allowed on their new BYOP. No new phones are allowed, only phones that were previously used on Verizon, and it can't support LTE. Although Verizon is the one to blame for that , not Tracfone. I would love to use a Moto G.

Also the hd dock caused a crash, even when just charging. Can't wait to see some things get ironed out in this, such a good smooth rom already.
[Motorola Droid X2] DigitalMD:
You guys did understand this is an early alpha ROM , right. Too early to be worrying bout battery when not even all the hardware is working.

Maybe this will help. Taken from Droid X2 FAQ sticky in the General forum. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=17520879

"I have flashed a custom rom and now my battery life is terrible, what can I do?

The solution which works for most is to reset your battery status log. First you will want to charge your phone to 100% Then, plug your phone into the wall charger and open the recovery app and reboot to recovery. Once there scroll down to Advanced and the select Wipe Battery Status. Return to the main menu and select Reboot. Unplug your phone and do not plug it back in to USB/Car/Wall until it's below 20%, let it charge again to full uninterrupted and you should notice battery life is back to normal."

I personally have decent battery life. Doesn't discharge that drastically lol. I play with it a lot too.

[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
I made a NANDROID backup right before I flashed CM9. Also one right after. I literally just boot to Recovery and restore my "PreCM9Flash" recovery to get back to CM7. I use 7 as a daily driver and mess around with 9 after-hours when I don't really need my phone. It's pretty easy to switch back and fourth and only takes about 10 minutes each way. I don't usually wipe anything after either, just restore it. Works just fine for me tbh.

[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Is nandroid a really long abbreviation for something? I never thought to ask this question until now.
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
If your flashing it yes wipe data/cache/dalvik. If your restoring a nandroid then you don't need to wipe anything. Also nandroid is a combination of nand memory and android I beleave.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Derp, I just read about nand memory a few days ago! How did I not make the connection!
[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
A NANDROID backup is a complete backup of everything on your system. To do this reboot into Recovery (assuming you know how) go to backup and restore/backup/external SD/yes. It will take approximately 10 minutes to finish. When it's done reboot and the backup file can be found via root browser under /mnt/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup. You can rename it so you know specifically which file it is, just DO NOT ADD SPACES or it WILL ruin the backup file leaving you UNABLE to restore it.

Flashing CM9 via recovery you will need to wipe data/cache afterwards. If you switch from 9/7 like me all you need to do is restore the desired backup. Restoring a NANDROID backup restores literally everything the way it was. Texts in your inbox, call logs, search histories, etc

Edit: oh you asked WHY is it called nandroid backup. Oops lol. Well he answered it^ hahaha sorry :p

Sent from my stupid smartphone
[Motorola Droid X2] CarlosBattousai:
blackangel104 think of NANDROID as Image Back/System Restore point on a Windows base P.C

When you make this Image backup it pretty much copies everything from the Android OS and stores it on the SD card. This way you can always return to that point whenever you like.

So when restoring a NANDROID their is so need to wipe anything since it'll be putting all the cache/data from that image. You'd only want/need to wipe stuff when you want a fresh install of a rom~
[Motorola Droid X2] Omega360:
No, but it improves the battery sensors' reading of the actual charge of the battery. That way the system accurately represents the charge level of the battery, allowing it to be used fully.

Whenever you flash between ROM's, it is always a good idea to wipe the battery stats as stale data never works nice with new data (with some exceptions, but doing it anyway is a good habit to get into). ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
I'm having similar battery life to cm7 maybe a little worse. Do you guys have any background apps running that may be causing this?
[Motorola Droid X2] Scur827:
For me, I've only got 2 issues, camera and chrome (I installed over CM7). Chrome works well enough for me to use it to import my true bookmarks and move them along to other apps and widgets. But I have data, 3G, mms and zero crashes (I turned off display rotate right off the bat) since installing yesterday. I threw on Apex Launcher, and so far it's the smoothest my X2 has ever run.
[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
Thanks for clearing that up for him! :D

=================

No I don't have too many apps in the background on CM9. Somewhere in system settings I limited my background processes to I think 2. Not sure what "Default" was, so I said two should be enough. That and I didn't restore too many random apps on CM9. Mostly just the essentials, no games etc. Overall battery is nice. Was playing with my phone for a few hours last night until I fell asleep with it :p around roughly 70% battery life. Woke up hours later and it's at 50% still.
