Busy with the OctOS stuff then ??
[Droid X Android Development] Dubbsy:
Yep. I'm currently busy trying to get Flo, Grouper, and gTab support taken care of.

I'll sync down the dx source later. It would be fun to see OctOS on it.
[Droid X Android Development] classic757:
Oh wow! First, CM11, now perhaps OctOs for my DX. Wonderful! I love it. Great to see development continuing for these old time-tested droids. :cool:

Please throw the NOOBS a bone

I'm still relatively new at here and amazed at how quick you guys cycle the code and fix, on this ROM. I understand we're still waiting for Kernel rebuild to resolve the CDMA issue and some other blips. I was wondering if after the Kernel resolution, some one could put together an updated "Instruction for installing CM11" like m.ksy did in the beginning of this project. I'm sure us Noobs would appreciate that. Thanks for every ones fantastic work on this.
[Droid X Android Development] m.ksy:
Instruction for installing CM11 on Motorola Droid X:

If you on custom ROM (CM, MIUI, LiquidICS, etc.) goto step 6.

Download

Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrapper CWM 5.0.2.0

and

Framaroot.apk

to sdcard.

On phone: Settings->Applications(Enable Unknown sources)->Development->Enable USB Debugging.

Install Framaroot.apk, launch it and select "Gimli", reboot phone.

Install Droid2RecoveryBootstrap_CWM5.0.2.0.apk, launch it, select "Bootstrap Recocery", grant Superuser access and reboot phone.

Download twrp_cm11_dx.zip, assert_bypass.zip, latest gapps and ROM to sdcard from one of my storages: MEGA, Mediafire, GDrive.

Reboot phone into CWM Recovery or if you on stock firmware launch Droid X Bootstrapper and press "

Reboot Recovery

".

In CWM choose wipe data/factory reset

(this will completly delete all your data on phone except sdcard)

, then install zip from sdcard and select twrp_cm11_dx.zip.

Reboot system and immediately enter the bootmenu (press vol- on blue LED).

(It's touch) Recovery -> Team Win Recovery.

In TWRP choose Install and select ROM, then slide, after install Reboot -> System.

Wait while phone boot up, complete the setup, then reboot phone.

On screen with android on red background press menu hardware key, then choose Install and select gapps.

Reboot -> System.

Additional:

If you get error message:

please, install assert_bypass.zip and you will be able to install ROM.

If you want format data and cache partitions to ext4, you need to flash data_cache_2ext4.zip (do this before installing ROM). To revert back partitions to use ext3, you need to make wipe data/factory reset in

stock

recovery.

In both cases you loose your filles on these partitions.

lee696636, welcome to the world of android open source: roms, flashing, and the like. I have been into this android world for just about a year, and it is at times exciting, frustrating, disappointing, confusing, and yet also exhilarating.
[Droid X Android Development] Aaahh:
Thanks, I'm almost done with my app, it has instructions and all the buttons to simplify the process tons.

Also, Bootmenu Formats the partitons to ext3 and ext4!!! no need for the zip...

Trueflly OctOs maybe be too big... P.A.C was, and Cm11 has about 2mb free...

I'm going to work on the bootloader, i know it checks the size (right?) but if we have the keys, why not use them... maybe i can sign the cdt.bin and flash it...
[Droid X Android Development] Bobcus Leper:
Starting to tick me off that In can't install books, or hangouts on the newest build. Came from the 14th build. I get Unknown Error Code 24.:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

PS. DIDN'T INSTALL EXT4.
[Droid X Android Development] Aaahh:
What? Trufullly im still on m.ksy second build, so I need your help here...

Are you flashing them, or playstore? did you try apk? also here in the U.S (not sure about outer) the apps auto update themselfs, in other words, once you flash gapps, they check for updates and auto-update...
[Droid X Android Development] m.ksy:
not ext4 problem. Did you install ext4 after CM11?

This needed because of stupid gapps that eat a lot of memory.

Btw, you can install PrebuiltGmsCore.apk and error -24 disappear.
[Droid X Android Development] Bobcus Leper:
No I didn't. I wiped data, system, and cache In twrp recovery on the march 14th build and it had some data wiping error. Then I flashed the newest nightly and rebooted. Then I booted back into recovery and flashed the newest gapps.

---------- Post added at 02:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 PM ----------

I thing I'll just sbf and try again.

---------- Post added at 02:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 PM ----------

Or try Aaahh's new apk!:o
[Droid X Android Development] m.ksy:
Newest gapps only for newest ROM!
[Droid X Android Development] lee696636:
Please throw the NOOBS a bone

You guys rock on any other site a noob would get the RTFM, Here we get a welcome and an immediate response to our request and someone telling us how much easier their working making it!!!
[Droid X Android Development] Aaahh:
i'm not done yet... :p 2 more days please...
[Droid X Android Development] Bobcus Leper:
I installed with the newest build.
[Droid X Android Development] joedajoester:
Great job on the rom! Big thanks to the devs; I never thought this phone would even see jellybean but instead we got KitKat. This is very exciting and awesome. The 3-17 said failed when I tried to flash it but 3-14 worked fine.

How did the devs get this to work? Is it safestrap or something? Why can't we wipe data when flashing? An explanation of how all this works would be nice. Also, I never flashed the ext4 file, does it matter if I flash or now, will I lose data? Vibrate seems broke for me. Also, in settings>performance I don't see an option to force high end graphics like it says in op. Thanks
[Droid X Android Development] classic757:
I didn't have a problem flashing 3-17 rom. I did flash ext.4 (the first one) BEFORE I flashed the rom. Rom flashed fine. The other problems you had, I'm not sure about. Hang in there, though, I'm sure you will get your answer.

---------- Post added at 03:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 PM ----------

What kind of app are you talking about?
[Droid X Android Development] chiruscan:
What exactly is the advantage to flashing ext4 on this ROM?

I read that ext4 is more efficient than ext3 at writing and also handles larger file sizes but how big a difference does it make on this ROM?

Thanks
[Droid X Android Development] m.ksy:
the same difference
[Droid X Android Development] joedajoester:
I saw no difference in performance, but maybe it could make apps install faster? I havent gotten time to compare. Also, if we wipe /system, we can't get back into recovery because the boot menu is included in ther rom I believe. It'd be nice to know how the devs got this working, like if they used bootstrap or something? Thanks
[Droid X Android Development] Aaahh:
we do use bootstrap, and yes its in the /system partition.
[Droid X Android Development] joedajoester:
That makes sense, thanks. Would twrp be able to flash any other normal roms? Also, what happened to that blue LED on boot that appeared after first flashing twrp? Is it correct that the bootmenu that gives you access to twrp on every boot, can give you access to twrp if your stuck in a bootloop because the phone boots into safe strap for to get to that menu, and then it loads up the rom? Sorry for asking so many questions lol
[Droid X Android Development] sd_shadow:
some roms will flash on twrp, wizards miui, vxlr...some will not or not as easily

it was replaced with safestrap

short answer is yes
[Droid X Android Development] Aaahh:
Almost done with my app, but i need help. How do you wait for an intent to finsh before starting the next one?
[Droid X Android Development] chiruscan:
You have two intents which start at the same time?
[Droid X Android Development] Aaahh:
yeah, and i want it to finsh one Intent THEN start the next. I know for processes you could do "processname.WaitFor;" but Intent doesnt have that... I tired startActiveryForResult, but i dont really know how to use it.
[Droid X Android Development] chiruscan:
This might help Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10871691/start-an-intent-when-another-intent-has-finished
[Droid X Android Development] Aaahh:
Si, Thanks that helped... Half a button left!
[Droid X Android Development] Bobcus Leper:
So in a few hours/tomorrow, the installer should work?
[Droid X Android Development] Aaahh:
Removed.
[Droid X Android Development] classic757:
Aaahh, you can do this. Pulling for you.
[Droid X Android Development] Aaahh:
Got it, not sure that "install bootmenu" works correctly, but i cant test as my /system is full.

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B9uqk9InEzCYVy1IeE8yYUxHb3M&usp=sharing

also, i forgot to remove "New Button", ignore it...

When you click bootmenu, just make sure its in your /system, i forgot to chroot.
[Droid X Android Development] Bobcus Leper:
Ok, testing now.:cool:

---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 PM ----------

The reboot button doesn't work.
[Droid X Android Development] Aaahh:
??????? does the new button reboot? it works flawless on mine, did you root?
[Droid X Android Development] Bobcus Leper:
Yep I'm rooted. Used your app to do it. Also, the boot menu didn't work either. I manually rebooted too. I didn't check to see where it installed though.
[Droid X Android Development] Aaahh:
the "new vutton" didnt work? did the reboot rec work? yeah i noticed i messed uo that button, easy fix...
[Droid X Android Development] joedajoester:
Nice job on the app, its coming along very nicely! I found a bug, if you tap root and hit cancel at the installer the app crashes. A suggestion I would make, is to open up instructions how to root before it installs the app. Also, a holo ui with a ribbon menu would be hella sexy ;). It could have a menu in the ribbon menu for tutorial and such. I wish I was better at java lol otherwise I would help
[Droid X Android Development] classic757:
I found out that if you install the 3-14 rom you can then install the 3-17 over it. That's what I did. I got the failed when I tried to install the 3-17 rom without the 3-14 one already being installed, even when using the most recent data_cache_2ext4.zip.
[Droid X Android Development] joedajoester:
I thought I just got a bad download. After 3/14 I went to twrp wiped everything and flashed the ext4 and then the 3/17 rom. Maybe twrp isn't wiping correctly? Now that it's so easy to install cm11, I might wipe system and see if it boots....or just a cache wipe since I'm lazy :P
[Droid X Android Development] classic757:
Are you getting force closes? I have done everything according to the install instructions, and still I get random force closes. What gives?
[Droid X Android Development] Aaahh:
you have an OLD OLD OLD rom, must be the one i made :P...

also, i made a git, https://github.com/MotoDX-CM11/Installer

and [MENTION=5711114]Bobcus Leper[/MENTION] or anyone else on stock, can you run "su sudo reboot" and "su reboot", i just remebred the changed to su instead of su sudo..

Also can you guys post a screen shoot? this is what i see on my phone.
[Droid X Android Development] classic757:
Actually I'm running the 3-17 CM 11 and I was getting force closes left and right so I sbf'd back to stock .621, wiped data, reflashed twrp recovery, and then flashed data_cache_2ext and then CM11, rebooted into twrp recovery and flashed Gapps. Still getting force closes. Also when the screen turns off I have to reboot the phone to get it back on. I really like this rom, but why so buggy for me? :(

Also, I am using the app Link2SD and normally I set up mount scripts as fat32, but should I use their ext 4 option?
[Droid X Android Development] Aaahh:
I warned m.ksy about that, i beleive its because of the ext4. I tried it once and that happened to me. Follow the "FC and Random Reboots" guide in the first post near the end. Also this time please test running "sudo su reboot" and "su reboot" in the terminal before flashing and after rooting...
[Droid X Android Development] classic757:
Okay. Are you running CM 11 on ext3? Do you still have FC's?
[Droid X Android Development] Aaahh:
Yes, no my phone is pretty much flaw less, except that it has a burn screen and the back... (Pro Tip: Don't use achole to clean your phone when overclocking...) The only problem i have with my phone is that my sdcard is too small.
[Droid X Android Development] chiruscan:
Why dont you just buy a cheap 2gb card Aaaaaaaah?
[Droid X Android Development] Aaahh:
Cheap??

http://www.amazon.com/Eye-Fi-Share-...8&qid=1395369512&sr=1-10&keywords=2gb+sd+card

:p
[Droid X Android Development] Bobcus Leper:
Holy smokes, that's EXPENSIVE for a sd.:eek: I got my 16 GIG one at a radio shack for cheaper than that.

---------- Post added at 10:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 PM ----------

I don't think it was a high class one though.
[Droid X Android Development] Aaahh:
that link is for a used one, and the sdcard isn't high class at all, its a gmick! :p Radio shack is closing!!! :crying:
[Droid X Android Development] sd_shadow:
You don't have to buy a WiFi SD card., lol
[Droid X Android Development] classic757:
Okay, I sbf'd back to stock .621, rooted with framaroot and tried the sudo su reboot and su reboot, no go. Flashed CM 11 WITHOUT ext4. Much better, but still had one force close so far, although the rom is faster this time around.
[Droid X Android Development] Aaahh:
su reboot???? I dont beleive you, :p come on! why wont it work???
[Droid X Android Development] chiruscan:
Why do you have to get a fancy Eye-fi one?

You can get a regular 2 GB sd card off Amazon for like 6$
[Droid X Android Development] m.ksy:
Why do you use it? 6Gb fast internal memory not enough for you?

Do you have your own rom? Please, post a link. Or did you talk about cm10.2 from gdrive?
[Droid X Android Development] Aaahh:
my own rom, yeah the first cm11 dx rom... I tired to sync and build but your commits are throwing errors, I'll report them later, dont worry easy fixes...
[Droid X Android Development] m.ksy:
buildng rom from prepared sources does not make rom your own, better to say "built by me" and not "own rom" :o.

What exactly errors you get? Also, you get them when building or syncing?
[Droid X Android Development] Shuudoushi:
[MENTION=5525731]Aaahh[/MENTION] - here http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...2443 600423214&IsNodeId=1&name=UHS-1/Class 10
[Droid X Android Development] classic757:
Unless I did something wrong, it did not work. Why, I don't know. But that's my story and I'm sticking to it. :)
[Droid X Android Development] Aaahh:
Okay, sorry... Anyway, i get errors when building, you added things that already exsisted in the source, Hardware/Ti/ That throws more errors later on since other things refer to that loctation (or i forgot to remove it from the Android.?? file :p), sure i'll upload it to my gdrive sooon.
[Droid X Android Development] m.ksy:
Please, post your local_manifest.xml and I will tell you what you will need to do.
[Droid X Android Development] Aaahh:
I know what to do, its the shaddow-common source thats causeing problems. I'll post the build soon, I'll just overwrite the old files, like with the liblights...
[Droid X Android Development] classic757:
m.ksy, I see you have a new CM11 nightly. What is different on this one from the 3-17?
[Droid X Android Development] m.ksy:
CM repo sync, fixed inverted compass also proximity sensor now works but kinda laggy, also I broke FM :o new build soon :D
[Droid X Android Development] classic757:
Thanks, looking forward to it! :cool:
[Droid X Android Development] Thesk1geek:
Do I need to be on the .621 system?
[Droid X Android Development] sd_shadow:
4.5.605 should be fine
[Droid X Android Development] m.ksy:
You can even be on Froyo, we use a custom kernel anyway :D
[Droid X Android Development] Thesk1geek:
Alright. That's what I thought. I just didn't want to be wasting my time SBFing to a system that wasn't going to even work. :good:
[Droid X Android Development] joedajoester:
Is vibrate supposed to be broken in the 3-17 build, or is it just my phone lol? In 3-14 rotation was working. Also, I wiped cache and dalvik cache in twrp and my phone bootlooped the red safestrap screen and red m logo.
[Droid X Android Development] Thesk1geek:
OK so I followed the directions in the OP. And when I flashed CM11 and rebooted, the LED turned from blue to green and the screen went black. It has been like this for a few minutes now.
[Droid X Android Development] Aaahh:
no you didn't, you had to click the vol. down button.
[Droid X Android Development] Thesk1geek:
I did. I got into TWRP that way. I installed CM11, but it failed. I got the green LED upon reboot. So I installed assert_bypass.zip then re installed CM11 and it still failed.
[Droid X Android Development] classic757:
I had that same issue, so I installed the 3-14 cm11 rebooted and then installed the 3-17 cm11(rebooted and installed Gapps) and it worked. The second time I flashed the rom I did not use ext4.
[Droid X Android Development] m.ksy:
doesn't work in all builds :) different hardware with Defy.

disconnect attached USB/charger.
[Droid X Android Development] Thesk1geek:
My phone has been unplugged. However, I did what classic757 did and it worked. Hmm. I wonder why the 3-17 build didn't flash. Thanks for the help though! :D
[Droid X Android Development] classic757:
Great! Glad you got it up and running. Now don't forget per Aaahh's instructions in the OP, charge your battery to 100% after rom install or you may run into problems.
[Droid X Android Development] Shuudoushi:
I had the same issue as these two.
[Droid X Android Development] Aaahh:
Build!!

Yeah, i beat m.ksy this time!!! :p

his fixes PLUS restored real cm vendor and real dailer + telephoney

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9uqk9InEzCYTGhyQk5LOHdHMHM/edit?usp=sharing

Will be there soon, currently uploading... (hint: check the dates)
[Droid X Android Development] Shuudoushi:
Close enough -_-

---------- Post added at 06:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 PM ----------

301 o.O?
[Droid X Android Development] m.ksy:
If only it was important when we do not have working CDMA :laugh:
[Droid X Android Development] Aaahh:
No, not when you have SIP...
[Droid X Android Development] m.ksy:
Oh, I forgot about it. Never used SIP. In Ukraine it's not supported :(

p.s. Deleting out dir and build ROM right now with a clean slate :D
[Droid X Android Development] classic757:
Okay, great! Now, do I flash this using the instructions in the OP? Do I need to do a data wipe or can i just reboot in twrp and flash your 3-21 rom?
[Droid X Android Development] Aaahh:
I think you may need the data wipe, i'm doing it now... Also i figured what was worng with the

app..
[Droid X Android Development] joedajoester:
Since airplane mode doesn't shut off the radio, it's constantly searching for signal and wasting a lot of power. Standby battery consumption is terrible, when it shouldn't be. Is there a proper way to shut the radio off and save battery until cellular is properly fixed?
[Droid X Android Development] classic757:
Yep, I figured I would have to do that, so I did.

Okay, cm 11, 3-21 nightly won't install. Getting failed error. Tried assert bypass still getting failed. What to do?
[Droid X Android Development] Aaahh:
remove it from rom/ meta/google/android /updater

the first 2 lines...

Also i found alot of gliches in the app, by i know what to do atleast...
[Droid X Android Development] Bobcus Leper:
Sorry for not testing. I've been messing with my laptop.:p
[Droid X Android Development] Aaahh:
Sounds like fun, windows right? its been messing with me the past couple of dayz... are you having problems with internet explorer or updates or .net ?
[Droid X Android Development] Bobcus Leper:
Mines xp, and I can't install the 2 newest security updates for some reason. Also I ditched the IE for Chrome, but i got infected with OUTFOX TV.:banghead::mad:

---------- Post added at 11:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 PM ----------

I also installed a pretty sweet windows 8.1 transformation pack. The only downside is the floaty windows tiles. The desktop is awesome though!
[Droid X Android Development] Aaahh:
Have fun trying to unistall it, I had win 7 pack and its complete H... I'll help you if you want to. I can help with outfox too. Just open run and type "regedit", local machine, software, outfox. And %temp% in run, deleting everything...
[Droid X Android Development] Bobcus Leper:
I got the windows 8 pack uninstalled, and even uninstalled the outfox app, but it still shows up in chrome. I cant delete the outfox folder in program files either. So,if i do what you said, it should get rid of it forever?
[Droid X Android Development] Aaahh:
Yeah, also

http://www.emptyloop.com/unlocker/

Usefull beyound beliefe... But if it says no lock found, it didn't work...

Also i have a suspision chrome is causeing problems.. Also is your boot logo the original?
[Droid X Android Development] Bobcus Leper:
Yeah, every thing is normal.

---------- Post added at 11:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:50 PM ----------

It was infected on firefox too. Didn't try IE because of security issues upcoming in april.

---------- Post added at 11:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 PM ----------

Plus i deleted IE.
[Droid X Android Development] Aaahh:
:p, i forgot you can't get IE 9 or higher, i'm stuck on ie9, i cant get rid of it, nor upgrade...

I thing i figured out the apk bussness, i couldn't get root, but on cm11 i could...
[Droid X Android Development] m.ksy:
Guys, please, stop offtop, write about Windows by using PM.
[Droid X Android Development] classic757:
You mean remove the update-binary and updater-script from meta/google/android?
[Droid X Android Development] m.ksy:
nope, open update-script as text file and delete first string
[Droid X Android Development] classic757:
Okay, opened update-script, this is first line:

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "shadow" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "shadow" || abort("This package is for \"shadow\" devices; this is a \"" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "\"."););

Delete this only?

What about the second line?

Also I got symlink error when trying to install rom.
[Droid X Android Development] m.ksy:
how 2nd line looks?
[Droid X Android Development] classic757:
Okay here is the second line:

run_program("/sbin/tune2fs", "-O has_journal /dev/block/mmcblk1p22");

and the third line is:

run_program("/sbin/tune2fs", "-O has_journal /dev/block/mmcblk1p24");
[Droid X Android Development] m.ksy:
leave it as it is
[Droid X Android Development] classic757:
Okay, so just delete first line and that's it? Then rom should flash?
[Droid X Android Development] classic757:
Alright, thanks. :cool:
[Droid X Android Development] joedajoester:
Any way to properly shut off the cellular radio to save battery? Is there any status on the fixing the cellular radio? I actually have a friend who still uses the droid x as his daily driver, so I wanna hook him up with KitKat. Also, it's confusing when trying to find the newest builds when theres 2 places to look for the same build date but with different changes in each of them.
[Droid X Android Development] Bobcus Leper:
No there is no way right now. The best alternative is to enable airplane mode and turn WI-FI on.Read the OP.:)
[Droid X Android Development] joedajoester:
I did read the op before, it also says that airplane mode doesn't shut off the radio. Therefore, airplane mode makes no difference besides the pretty icon :)
[Droid X Android Development] m.ksy:
radio never was powered on, there are no power on commands in AeroKernel for our BP
[Droid X Android Development] joedajoester:
If you go to settings>battery, it says cell standby is taking up the most battery and time without signal is 100%. This sounds like the radio is always on, but if the radio was never on, what's causing the battery to really suck?
