If you wanna stay on 2.3.4 then i would give Twitish's Rom a go, from what i hear its pretty nice. I'm on eclipse because it is damn sturdy. Once MIUI or even AOKP get a bit more stable or DZK comes through with kexec i will definitely be SBF'ing back down to 2.3.4. Seems to be where all the action is!
[Motorola Droid X2] Kev13131:
Stick with CM7. I've tried all of them and CM7 is the smoothest and fastest.
[Motorola Droid X2] Gblake13:
I've tried eclipse liberty and cm7. Cm7 is pretty good but it seems like eclipse has less problems. I'm on cm7 now though cause most of the issues I can live with.

eclipse 2.3 for me.

i was getting terrible battery drain, but i remembered last night that i had 2.2 on there and just flashed over it- without fixing permissions in recovery mode.

so i said screw it, i wiped all data and reflashed. its much better now, probably working as it should be, although i still think there is room for improvement for the battery life.
[Motorola Droid X2] 6Flip9:
I've ran everything and I can't beat stock battery life

The only other Rom that ruled in battery life was the gingerbread based miui has twice the life ;/

Hi, my name is Travis, I've been a verizon slave since 2009 with the bb storm. Moved to a droid then x and x2. I'm currently on an incredible 2 and I hate it. Through much push and pull, I got to keep my service on the incredible and also keep an x2 along with a free extended battery.

I rooted 2.3.5 on the x2 and now looking into roms. My software learning curve isn't steep so I thought I'd send a shout out to the devs and members here. Looking into finding a great rom for the x2 withing the next few day.

Oh yeah, I'm leaving in a month for basic in the AF, going into cyber surety(basically legal hacking) and looking forward to it.

Thanks for reading, I'll be around!
[Motorola Droid X2] dark_system:
Welcome. Every one here is awesome and will help if you need it.

Most all x2 roms are built on 2.3.4

Eciplse is on 2.3.5 though, and is a very good, stable rom.

If you want more excitement than try some of the ics, cm9 based roms. Just know that they are buggy and being worked on. Aokp, paranoid android, and of course cm9.

Cm7 is much more stable then th ics builds and could easily work as a Daily driver.

Good Luck.
[Motorola Droid X2] LinkedKube:
I was thinking about the eclipse rom, It looks really nice. It will take a bit. I'm still reading and this forum is huge. I haven't found the "how to" thread yet on roms. Sure I'll find it. Thanks for the warm welcome.
[Motorola Droid X2] dark_system:
I would check out the Cm7 rom thread. It has some good links to the guides you want as far as sbf, root, nandroid backup and bsr(aka cwm recovery).

Eclipse won't let you down.

If there is anything I can help you with, then don't hesitate to pm me.
[Motorola Droid X2] kenjesse:
Welcome aboard sir, and as an AF vet good luck with your service and thank you for stepping up.

As for roms you will find much more action happening with the 2.3.4 build as others have already mentioned. CM7 & 9, PA, AOKP are all based on 2.3.4.

You will absolutely want to find the "How to SBF" thread and get setup for doing an SBF. To my knowledge no dx2 has ever been "hard bricked" but "soft bricking" can and does happen which means SBF is your salvation as of course is nandroid backup. And my last piece of advice would be to make a nandroid backup of 2.3.4 Stock/Rooted, particularity if you are a"flashaholic" as some of us are on here...lol

Anyway welcome to the friendliest forum on XDA. :):beer:
[Motorola Droid X2] GoClifGo05:
+1 for eclipse since it is the most stable and sounds like you wont have much time for figuring out any bugs that may occur on the ICS based Roms since you will be serving our country lol. Good luck, and thanks.

Step 4 says "Apply 235 update in stock recovery"

Is this update through the android recovery on startup, or after I get into settings?

Thanks for the help!

I tried going into recovery from start up and it just held up with the android icon and exclamation point in the triangle...for a really long time. OR cant I apply 235 with RSD and achieve the same thing
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
Did you press birth the up and down volume when you see the android?
[Motorola Droid X2] maggard5:
First off...welcome! And now on to your question.

After rooting, protecting root with voodoo, and temp unrooting:

Just take the OTA update to 2.3.5 by going to System Updates in Settings-About Phone. Then restore root using voodoo and delete backup.
[Motorola Droid X2] GoClifGo05:
System update is the easiest way but to answer your question yes you can just use rsd to get on 2.3.5 b418 because 2.3.5 is now rootable. You don't have to do the long method via voodoo ota rootkeeper any more.
[Motorola Droid X2] LinkedKube:
Wow I feel like I've been struggling for nothing. I was already on a rooted version of 235:(

I also want to ask about the eclipse pack, it should be an unzipped file on my sd card correct? I'm reading around and I see "zipped" and "unzipped." This is my first rom so I need to be sure.

Thanks again.
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
Yes to get into recovery you have to press both simultaneously once you get on the android screen
[Motorola Droid X2] GoClifGo05:
If you have already SBFed and are going to do it that way then yes. Look here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1317707 for any future questions about SBFing or just ask. :) If you are already on 2.3.5 then there is no need to sbf because you can just root 2.3.5 now.
[Motorola Droid X2] dark_system:
All flashable roms should be a. Zip file on your sd card. Don't unzip the rom file.
[Motorola Droid X2] GoClifGo05:
Yup just leave it zipped and placed on sd card not in a folder. Boot into system recovery and "install zip from sd card."

[Motorola Droid X2] LinkedKube:
sooo

my x2 is taking a long time to start up, like 35 mins and no start up. It said installation complete and I don't think I messed anything up.
[Motorola Droid X2] GoClifGo05:
Shouldn't take that long, pull battery, replace and enter bootstrap recovery, wipe cache and then go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache and reboot. See if that helps.

Note: when you wipe cache and dalvik boot up may take up to 10 minutes but usually a little less than that.
[Motorola Droid X2] dark_system:
If you will let us all know the steps you took to flash, then we can help you better.

Which rom are you trying to flash?
[Motorola Droid X2] GoClifGo05:
He's doing eclipse 2.3
[Motorola Droid X2] LinkedKube:
Gaah, so I also noticed that my android recovery has went back to default as well. I did do a backup before I flashed the eclipse rom.

/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup2012-8-10.17.56.01 but it wont let me open the backup in recovery off a boot.

I was willing and even tried a factory restart. I just woke up from my nap about 3 hours. Still stuck at the red motorola splash screen. No matter what option I pick the only way to progress at all is to go into recovery mode, but still go nowhere with that option.
[Motorola Droid X2] kenjesse:
You need to get into our BSR recovery, not the stock recovery. Pull the battery, replace and plug into the wall charger. If boots into BSR select Backup/Restore and navigate to the nandroid you ref and restore it. If it goes to charge mode (big battery icon) that means recovery was wiped and its time to SBF and start over.

Read up on the zrerecovery thread on how to keep our recovery working when you need to do a wipe in recovery. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1426062
[Motorola Droid X2] GoClifGo05:
If you did a data wipe/factory reset before installing eclipse and install didn't go correctly then your BSR is most likely gone... Sounds like its probably time to SBF and start over.... You should post EXACTLY the steps you are going to take before you actually do anything because for some reason you are running in to a lot of problems. It should be a simple process, and we all wanna see it working for you.
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
our recovery is weak

read the rerecovery thread

and you are doing something wrong

post what file and the steps
[Motorola Droid X2] LinkedKube:
I was first following the steps for the eclipse install. I also did a backup as recommended before I attempted anything

I of course installed the x2 recovery software, system rebooted into recovery. I proceeded with a backup, once done I flashed to eclipse, Upon restart it wouldn't move passed Motorola logo(dual core). I waited for up to 45 mins.

Restarted, the default boot recovery was now there again(3e) which minimal options to do much.

I'm going to have to do a bunch more reading to see exactly where I am. I'll post back later. Thanks for all the help.
[Motorola Droid X2] LinkedKube:
Did a bunch of battery pulls. It still haults at the motorola logo, wont go passed it. The bsr recovery seems to not be available anymore. While I can navigate to the backed up file it still wont initialize. I suppose I'll have to completely start over, which is no issue. I'll just need to do some reading on how to install the stock sbf
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
did you use 2.3.5/ 1.3.418?

voodoo or the magic md5?

if voodoo did you remove su backup

eclipse 2.3? did you verify md5

did you wipe data before

did you wipe cache after it failed to boot

edit: typo
[Motorola Droid X2] LinkedKube:
I'm trying to do a factory reset through bsr, the x2 bsr I installed isnt available anymore.

I'm assuming that if I do a factory restore through the bsr everything will be okay. I haven't found a way to get passed the motorola dual core icon on start up.

-Battery Pulls

-with/without charger

-the backup file on my sd card wont initiate

Should I do this and just let it sit on the charger all night, or am I thinking too simple? I'm doing a lot of reading, its a bit to take in. 3+ years of experience here with these devices, I'm just trying to soak it all up so I can get passed it.
[Motorola Droid X2] GoClifGo05:
If you absolutely can't get off the red m then you need to sbf... letting it sit longer wont do anything, if it doesn't move within a few minutes its done.
[Motorola Droid X2] LinkedKube:
did you use 2.3.5/ 1.3.418?= yes, rooted as well

voodoo or the magic md5?= voodoo

if voodoo did you remove su backup= no

eclipse 2.3? did you verify md5 =ermmm<---this might be my problem, especially since I dont know what it is.

did you wipe data before = yes and nandroid

did you wipe cache after it failed to boot =yes

edit: typo

Ok, lay it on me, what did I do wrong.
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
once you wipe data, unlikely you will get back to bsr, unless you flashed rerecovery

if you pull battery, replace battery

connect to charger, if it goes to battery charger mode

you can leave, connected over night, if not, phone will just drain battery

pull battery till you are ready to flash sbf
[Motorola Droid X2] GoClifGo05:
Not deleting su backup in voodoo is your problem.

---------- Post added at 01:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:45 AM ----------

Sorry for double post it wouldn't let me edit correctly. But if you are going to root 2.3.4 and use voodoo to keep root to 2.3.5 then you MUST delete su backup after restoring root and before flashing eclipse or it will fail every time... like I've been saying check out we'd post on how to root 2.3.5 and save yourself a bunch of time and headaches.
[Motorola Droid X2] LinkedKube:
Ok thanks, I'll try the sbf procedure then.

Man I was so excited when I saw "installation complete." pshh.
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
correct clif

voodoo backup is problem

and if you let battery get too low, you can't flash sbf

and it's unlikely that it will charge in the state it's in

edit: md5 checksum is a way of checking that the file is complete

see my list of links in my sig
[Motorola Droid X2] LinkedKube:
Yeah, the phone came with 2.3.5 then i reverted back to 2.3.4 just to install eclipse. Then I learned I could have just stayed at 2.3.5, rooted it and moved on.
[Motorola Droid X2] LinkedKube:
lucky for me I have another dx2, with 2 extended batteries sitting around. You're right, charge light comes on then stops.

my brother is here with me for the weekend. He has an x2 as well, any other suggestions that I could do maybe moving my sd card to his phone, maybe to get an sbf file or something, or does it not work like that?
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
sbf is done from pc, with rsd lite

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1317707

use 2.3.5 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1703640
[Motorola Droid X2] GoClifGo05:
Must be pc. However there is a 2.3.5 file you can just sbf with instead of using the 2.3.4. Just make sure its build 418 and not 412.

Lol edit: ninja'd by Sd, he is correct obviously.
[Motorola Droid X2] LinkedKube:
Thanks so much guys. I'll report back in the morning. This forum is awesome
[Motorola Droid X2] LinkedKube:
I used rsdlite earlier in this process and it worked great to move to 3.5. Thought I could maybe try plugging the x2 up and running it again but got an error message.

Failed flashing process, unable to retrieve handle.

I'm guessing because its stuck at the moto logo it wont proceed. Its late I'll try this link http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11118819&postcount=2 you guys sent me to in the morning.

[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
thats for dx not dx2

stick to guides for dx2

with phone off, press power while press and holding volume up. till you see

starting rsd support, connect to pc, flash sbf with rsd lite

don't use anything from the link you posted

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxPvEbdrfKs&feature=youtube_gdata_player

It was posted here in dx2 forum section, all the steps that I took the first time seem the same.

I'm currently backing up 2.3.5 before I clear and then flash to eclipse.
[Motorola Droid X2] LordRalh3:
Run the rsd lite 418 file as said above, when that process is finished completely youll need to boot into the stock recovery, wipe data / cache and reboot. Then your good to try again

Rolling AOKP in the north.
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
that's fine, just remove voodoo backup, if you used that to restore root

edit: and you don't need gaaps, for eclipse

if you have rerecovery, flash that before rebooting

after eclipse boots first time, install bsr from setting/eclipse parts
[Motorola Droid X2] LinkedKube:
Done and done, thanks everyone.

Now that I've done it correctly I understand what I did wrong in the first place. I didn't clear the cache.
[Motorola Droid X2] LinkedKube:
Yes I made a mistake in voodoo before going through the super easy steps in bsr. Well now they seem easy. Dumb mistake, wont do that again.

Hello to all ! A couple days ago I decided to dive into customizing my DX2.

Bad Ass ! This is really fast and pretty stable. But ! I have had one major issue ...a few times when I have made nandroid backups using the system recovery app my CM9 will not boot ! I have to run the recent backup then install CM9 and the gaps again , clear data and cache, and then it will reboot and everything thing is good to go !

P.S. I came from Gingerbread 2.3.4

Can someone give me a rundown on on what exactly an SBF rewrites? Does it change any carrier-specific settings that can't be fixed aside from SBFing back to my own carriers file?

I would like to try out some different roms, but most of them are written for kernels which my carrier (ntelos) doesn't have an SBF for. Is there a way to flash another carrier's file without losing connectivity to my carrier?

Barring that, is there a way to go in and manually fix my settings afterwards?
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
flashing a SBF in windows with rsd lite, rewrites all system files

flashing in linux with sbf_flash leaves radio settings, including I believe apn settings

also there's an app APN Backup & Restore you may want
[Motorola Droid X2] luciean138:
Awesome! Looks like I'll be setting my VM up again :) Two follow up questions:

Can APN settings also be fixed with the ##7764726 dialer code, or is that something else?

The radio is carrier-specific, correct?
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
well the Droid X2 has a cdma radio, and the milestone X2 has a gms radio

the apn settings are carrier specific

there is a ntelos SBF file here https://sites.google.com/site/motosbf/milestone-x2-sbf-files

you should ask in the thread of any rom before you flash,

Hi all,

For some reason, my data plan keeps on being consumed extremely quickly. When I checked why, the primary suspect was gallery which consumed 130 MB out of my 200 MB plan. However, this is well after I disabled its ability to upload data in the background.

Any idea whats going on?

On ICS you can disable background data access....go to settings, data usage, find 'Gallery', then restrict background data

If you're rooted and only if you're rooted, download a firewall of your choice from play store.

Greetings Everyone.

I've searched this forum, but I didn't found any post related to this theme. My aim is to compile non "kernel/common" android's source code, in order to replace the applications inside the Android device (such as SG sIII). I've seen that "kernel/common" will wuild a Kernel Image but, by the way, I don't think that this code (ie. the one you could find in "frameworks/base/core", "dalvik", "bionic") could be put inside my image. My question is: how to compile this source code? In particular, I've seen that there is an Anrdroid.mk: should I use ndk-build? Or better, Is there a way to associate the build image generated with this ulterior build?

Thanks in advance.
