On that note keep in mind DKZ working on the Alpha4 NOT Beta (not yet anyway)

So re-framing from speedy v7 mashups and all those mod till we get a solid BETA VER!!

Until there's a solid beta a lot of these mod are just an unnecessary risk to your device.

I just wanted to report that I haven't had a single force close or random reboot in 4 and a half hours just from turning off auto rotation.
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
Glad it worked for you. It seems to make it a lot more stable. :thumbup:
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
I turn mine on am off frequently and it still spazzes out

Also, the keyboard and most of the phone lags horribly when connected to a computer. Took me a good 3-4 to write this...
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
Leave it off all the time and it will be better. I've run this since release like this and I have had 3 fc and no random reboot.
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
Here is why turning rotation off helps

Also note my up time. And the only reason its not more is I usually restart my phone every 2 days.
[Motorola Droid X2] metaphysicalgx2:
This is slightly off topic but related to both cm7 and cm9.. Tried to nandroid back to cm7 and it keeps freezing while restoring data at the same file 268260bc or something close.. three tries, gave up and I had no problem restoring my cm9 nandroid. I didn't modify the cm7 backup or rename it. Is it salvageable?
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
Probably not if it repeatedly freezes
[Motorola Droid X2] blackangel104:
I've got an old backup of "stock" on my sd card, is taking up space and wanted to know since I plan on staying on cm9, is it cool if I delete it?
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
I wouldn't stock always comes in handy.
[Motorola Droid X2] blackangel104:
ight thanks

Follow me @blackangel104 Just do it :)
[Motorola Droid X2] metaphysicalgx2:
If I need stock I just sbf.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Agreed. Having a backup of stock is just faster to than sbf. Other than that, there's no real advantage of having a stock backup.

just wanted to let everyone know that the sIII s-voice app works here :D

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1662255
[Motorola Droid X2] CarlosBattousai:
Yep all you need to run s-voice is be on ICS with the signed apk,but let's face it all these voice app just suck.
[Motorola Droid X2] wareju:
yeah this one definitely seems the best though, i've tried some random apps from the market and they were garbage.
[Motorola Droid X2] CarlosBattousai:
I have a weird voice so all those app hell for me!!

Back to the rom I'm glad to see this ics app doesn't need kernal modding so we can enjoy the ICS experience~
[Motorola Droid X2] samari71:
been using this rom since dzk released it only problem i've had is camera not working and volume dont seem real loud
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Volume + will help with things like speaker and call (I think) volume. It can help music volume as well but Power amp will do you better.
[Motorola Droid X2] DigitalMD:
Unfortunately several ICS apps do require an ICS kernel as do some of the hardware features. Its too bad Motorola (ain't they part of that funny sounding open source company? starts with a G???? oh yes, GOOGLE!!) locks the bootloader and never releases source code.
[Motorola Droid X2] lordforex:
Since the merger is now officially finalized, hopefully better changes start coming from Motorola.
[Motorola Droid X2] 6Flip9:
Sure if you never plan on flashing a fresh rom again, eh, why not lol

Or if you're not 100% sure you want to delete it, just copy it to your computer first.

[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
Most roms don't require stock to flash. The benefit would be if you wanted to take an OTA update for a better kernel without sbf.
[Motorola Droid X2] Hulk0069:
Once this works fully I'm flashing this
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
It may never be "fully working". At most it will be a beta like cm7. You should just flash now and enjoy. :p
[Motorola Droid X2] roland0fgilead:
The only thing I'm really missing is the camera - other than that I'd call it feature complete. Battery life is also a tad short, but I've changed my usage habits a bit to accommodate. DZK is working on a camera fix and battery life will go up as he optimizes the code.
[Motorola Droid X2] Ryno77:
I've been running this on and off since release and it's amazing. It's like having a new phone.... So much better than gingerbread. Fairly stable but battery takes a big hit running this. I use it as my weekend rom :D. Thank you for developing this!
[Motorola Droid X2] Srambo217:
I manned up and flashed it today. So far so good. If I can get mms and camera working with this next update than I'll be a happy camper.
[Motorola Droid X2] Hulk0069:
Not to a Newby, but can someone clear what it means by no mms , and data not working? Thanks
[Motorola Droid X2] Srambo217:
S-Voice is FCing for me :(
[Motorola Droid X2] maggard5:
mms = multimedia messaging service

ics has a feature to monitor data usage. That doesn't work.
[Motorola Droid X2] Hulk0069:
So no text mgs?

Data usage no monitor not a biggie, but no mms(text messaging?) That's a biggie.
[Motorola Droid X2] Srambo217:
Multimedia messaging are things like pictures and videos, you can text just fine.

Pretend you're on an iphone a year or so ago and email all your pics/vids ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] blackangel104:
I can send and receive mms running cm9. It just takes awhile to open the msg

Follow me @blackangel104 Just do it :)
[Motorola Droid X2] wareju:
mms is text messaging + attachments like photos and videos.
[Motorola Droid X2] Srambo217:
Well this was a nice experiment, gonna run something more stable until an RC is available:)
[Motorola Droid X2] 6Flip9:
Text messaging works, probably picture and video messaging is what there talking of with mms :/

Once he gets the camera working I'm flashing this
[Motorola Droid X2] meskes:
Same here. Especially since SBFing is more or less trivial anymore.
[Motorola Droid X2] diekrazy:
mms is spotty on my phone sometimes it works
[Motorola Droid X2] wareju:
is this how the lockscreen player is supposed to look? there may be nothing wrong with it but it sort of threw me off, lots of black space.
[Motorola Droid X2] HitMyKush:
its because your listening to music broski
[Motorola Droid X2] wareju:
right.. i'm talking about the layout in general, might just be how it looks on ics.
[Motorola Droid X2] meskes:
Yep, that's how it's supposed to look, though I still only use Poweramp, myself.
[Motorola Droid X2] meskes:
Why run svoice? Just use vlingo.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
This may be far fetched and may have already been looked into, but the Motorola Photon's CM9 has the camera working. Apparently it didnt always work. Would their method of fixing it help DK out with fixing it for us? I just thought about it since they are both Motorola phones. Didnt know if that would help at all.
[Motorola Droid X2] tonybahr:
I think the photon has a leaked unlocked bootloader. Crossed my mind as well.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Do any CM9 ROMs for a Motorola device have the camera working that has a locked bootloader? I'm just kind of curious about this now. lol
[Motorola Droid X2] CarlosBattousai:
Even if you have other Motor phones with cm9 with a working camera they may not use a terga 2 like our phone.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
That's right. I forgot about that damn Tegra 2

Ok, How about the Droid Bionic? They have a working camera.

http://droidmodderx.com/bionic/romalpha-ics4bionic-5-5-902-4g-working/

EDIT: And apparently the fix works for more than just one phone if anyone is feeling risky, lol:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1510485

EDIT 2: Oh and I just looked. The Photon is a tegra 2 device.
[Motorola Droid X2] CarlosBattousai:
Yes they do my friend,but you've forgotten that Dzk said that there is a fix for the camera on Tegra 2 chips,but that's it's not working for us right now. It's in the OP.

This is very very Alpha we just need to relax and let Dzk do his thing and trow him a few bucks for coffee and bacon!!

I love cm9 even though it's missing a lot of cm7 options atm and lack a camera,but we just have to let the man and his friends that are helping him do their thing~
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Oh, I'm not rushing or demanding. I fully understand that we need to be patient. I didnt know that was the fix that was being talked about. I'm not one of those people that post threads asking when can we expect this or that to work? lol. I just thought it might be helpful. That's why I said in my initial post on this topic that I wasnt sure if its been looked at yet. :)
[Motorola Droid X2] CarlosBattousai:
AHH I hear ya man~ I myself jump for joy when I get a text from Twitter hoping that Dzk is ready to besot us for ics goodness XD
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I check it daily and I dont even have a twitter account. lol
[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
I wonder how you do that lol. I hated the idea of twitter. It seemed so pointless with FB and texting if you ask me. XDA is the only reason I joined twitter lol. Everyone wants you to follow them for updates. I couldn't keep up without my own account lmao
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I wont join twitter. I dont even have Facebook. I think all that is pointless as well. I just go to google and search @dragonzkiller and its always the first link. Then I can see his posts and if anything is new.
[Motorola Droid X2] Citizen_Snips:
Ha. I only use it for XDA tbh. Still don't understand what a (hash tag (#)) is for or why they exist but I never use them. I don't post anything ever. Not even sure I have anyone I actually know added. Just to keep up on updates :p. Signed up just so I could follow&subscribe to people so their updates would just be pushed to my phone without me having to Google it. I don't stress out or freak out because I'm not sure if I'm missing the next big update that was supposed to release at so and so time. I know whenever he posts it I'll find out a maximum of 30 mins later :D (my auto sync timer)
[Motorola Droid X2] meskes:
You know, after I disabled the auto rotation to account for that bug, I've been able to use this as a daily driver. Dragonzkiller, all I have to say is once again, you've amazed me. Outstanding work, good man. Keep it up.
[Motorola Droid X2] meskes:
I think I may have found a bug. Anyone want to try to install Google Maps and see if it will launch? I can't get seem to get it to fully launch and end up having to kill it.

Thanks

I had to grudgingly go back to CM7 last night after a series of hangs, most seem to be related to dock/undock events. I'm newish to the android scene but I've been programing for longer than many of you have likely been alive. Is there anything we can do to gather info for dkz?

Cheers-

-Blu
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
You are gathering info by posting here. Dragon and others actually do check up on their threads and look at some of the issues users are having. I imagine you could give a detailed coding suggestion to him via direct message on twitter or pm him on Xda.
[Motorola Droid X2] BluPhant:
I think part of my issue, in retrospect, may have been *ducks* pulling car home out of my previous backup using appextractor. In considering the issues, I think they may have started around that time. Wouldn't think that would be that big an issue, but I'm still learning here.

I'm in the process of installing the android development environment (eclipse/etc) on one of my linux boxes here. God save the queen.

When I call, the numberpad doesn't appear.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
What does *228 do?
[Motorola Droid X2] droidzika:
reconfigures your roaming ..it's good to get your signal back and get rid of the tirangle
[Motorola Droid X2] CarlosBattousai:
I wouldn't worry about that till alpha 4 comes out. To be on the safe side Tweet dzk so he can fix it for sure.
[Motorola Droid X2] RyanThaDude:
Just hold down the menu button and the keyboard will pop up. Not the dialpad but does work until it's fixed.

Hmm didn't see or hear a voice prompt to select #2. Thanks though. My reception is really lacking.

Edit- I meant to say I tried it. Tweeted Dragon and he corrected me on the numbers I was punching in wrong...But it didn't work. They said it was bc my reception was so bad LOL (but not really).

For future reference:

To update the PRL w/o prompt, call *22891

To activate, dial *22890

It never hurts to update your roaming capabilities (PRL) after every ROM flash.

I wouldn't say its progressively getting more "glitchy". If you use your phone long enough with CM9 you'll eventually experience some of the issues one would expect from an unfinished ROM.
[Motorola Droid X2] BluPhant:
I think my downfall was bringing system APKs into the rom. Now that mr dkz has gotten it sorted w/ the camera, I hope to give it another try soon. I'm going to move a bit more slowly this time, adding stuff gradually (as needed) to try to help isolate any issues.

Oh, and on another note, I got my Linux Eclipse installed/configured and will hopefully be writing the worlds best hello world application today. If anyone would like the APK, let me know <JOKE> :)
