When I go into LauncherPro- General Settings- there's an option for Motorola Droid Hack: "May improve perfomance on Motorola Droid/Milestone phones." I've always glossed over that before, but now that I have a Milestone XT720, it seems relevant for the first time. Anyone know what exactly this is (i.e. what's special about Milestone)?

Is there a way we can port the unlock motorola release for the atrix over to our Droid X2's? They just released the info on how to do it and many people have confirmed it is working. This is huge to start our development.
They just found out a few hours ago they can. Now it's a waiting game. It'll take more than a few hours. Give it time and we'll find the answer soon enough. Eventually motorola will allow the unlock anyway.

Oh baby. I wanna be here for when this happens. I am soooo ready for someone to cook up a decent 2.3 (2.4 whenever we can) ROM. I want to tear into these dual-cores at max performance.

You already are, from an application standpoint. It's a common misconception due to a Google dev's statement being taken out of context. Both cores are fully utilized on appropriately coded applications. It's only the core OS itself that isn't fully utilizing them correctly (stock GUI etc.)
OMG, Waiting for this one... Can't wait for a decent rom.
We still need a leaked SBF of any kind for the X2. The US version of the Atrix was rooted, utilizing information from a leaked Chinese (production) version of the GB update software. Not to say that a similar technique couldn't be utilized to unlock the X2, but not using that same file. We would need an unlockable leaked software version for our phone.
Im pretty sure all of this depends on an SBF file leak. That way there can be some more hardcore experimentation. But unlocking the bootloader seems huge.

I think I can get the bootloader unlocked if I can find the file with my device code. anybody have any clue im where I would find it. the atrix way to get it is to grep it out of an image file I would assume it is the same on our phone accept the file name. so if somebody can get me the file name I am willing to test the same method as the atrix.

Hiyo all !!
Actually I was just curious if there is some kind of version upgrade on Motoblur (oops Motorola's application platform to be exact) between that of photon 4g than other moto qhd devices recently launched like that of bionic , droid 3 and the sweet droid razr.
I am sure almost all of you who have seen both device might have found that there are some minor changes like horizontal paginated drawer on droid 3/bionic versus vertical continous that of photon and some extra widgets in d3/bionic's version.
These changes doesn't matter much to me, but one thing that does matter is that MAP (or as well can blur) on D3/bionic seems much seemless,swift and lagfree to me then on stock photon.
This got me curious if ther is a new version of MAP on these new devices like Razr/bionic and if it is , is there any way to port that from these devices and get on our beloved photon.
Can some of the dev's investigate on this and let me know if its possible. I tried to google it (this is all I can do really !!) but couldn't find any answers.
Thanks in advance !!!
Posted it in Q&A section as soon as I realized I am in the wron section. Sorry for the confusion. Please continue discussion on this in q&A section.
Thanks
They hav done with motorola milestone 2.....

Motorola Droid X uses different BP from QC, which will probably be trivial to handle (QC MDM6600 is known to work well with kexec). Motorola Motoluxe is not an OMAP phone at all (QC platform).
This is mainly for OMAP3 phones with Wrigley 3G as BP.

But thanks for the link, it's a really good thread, full of real developers.
I saw a thread saying that jokersax and thebill are working on a method that might unlock the 2.3.5 bootloader somehow, but I can't find it right now. Is there a glimmer of hope that whatever they're working on along with these files http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1925102, that us 2.3.5 users MIGHT have some light at the end of the tunnel?

I get the feeling that by the time joker and thebill get this to work
1. Wimax will be dead
2. Most photon owners turned off my Moto's crappy customer service will have moved on to another device.
Not downplaying jokersax's and thebill's work. I was on MIUI and CM9 for a while before flashing back to stock. I just feel that the cliff is steep, and the rewards are small in comparison.
I am new to this and still trying to wrap my head around all the terms and process' but all in all I am confident in what I'm about to do. But! I wanted to ask a few questions first.
I have a Milestone X2 (already rooted) and a regional carrier (Carolina West Wireless) I want to make a Nandroid backup before messing with ROMS.
I am using ROM Manager and when I am trying to install some required components it asks me to confirm my phone model. The Milestone X2 is not listed, and I want to see if anyone thinks it would be safe to click Droid X2 or should I use another method of backup.
If anyone knows of any good tutorials that aren't too in-depth or similar situations please let me know.
Would this be a good guide?
Thanks in advance!

Do not use ROM manager, it is not compatible with your phone
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda app-developers app
I own a Droid X2 and all I know is that it is not the same as the Milestone X2. You can't use the same ROMs and mods for both. So whatever you use, make sure it is for your Milestone X2. Stick around here though for questions and tutorials. There are quite a few people in here that use the Milestone X2 and will help you out when they see your post. The link you posted looks like a process to use someone elses nandroid. I think anyway. The files in there look like the ones you would need to at least get started though. And It's been said but I will say it again. Dont use Rom Manager. Its more for unlocked phones. Any mods or ROMs you want on your phone, download them from here. Not Rom Manager.
I appreciate the response guys. I will not use any Droid X2 ROMs and will continue my search.
Damn regional carriers cant get a decent phone, if it wasn't so cheap.
Are there any ROMs that allow everything to work (wifi, 3g, camera) that are compatible with the Mx2? (Don't need anyone to go on a in depth search just seeing if its out there)

Yes, they are all in this forum. Just look in the development section. After our Droid X2 dev creates a ROM, someone with a Milestone X2 usually makes it for theirs. I think the Milestone has its own SBF file. But the Bootstrap recoveries are all the same I think. Again, dont rely only on what I say since I dont know much about the Milestone X2. But once you get a recovery working for you, you do a nandroid backup with that. I dont know if your new to Android or just this phone but you cannot uses just any file for your phone. It has to be made specifically for the milestone X2. Thats why I say stick to this forum and this forum alone because everything you need is in here. Just got to do a little searching and a lot of reading. Once you get confortable with everything, things will be really easy from then on.

The milestone has one sbf meant for ntelos so be careful. you can get other carriers to work with it if your lucky. as for the recoveries you use the exact same ones the dx2 users use. as for everything else search the development section for everything theyll be labled mx2 if they work with the mx2

Hi, I had and Sony Xperia X10 and I used to change the ROM. Now I'll buy a new phone so I take a look at this forum. I don't see any forum for the Razr Maxx.
So my questions are :
Does the Razr Maxx support Razr ROM ? (they are similar, the difference seems to be the battery only)
Or is there a forum for the Maxx ?
Thanks for your answer and sorry for my bad english
They are the same phone except for the battery.
Both phones are indeed identical. The Maxx just has a larger battery capacity. HOWEVER - this does not necessarily mean ROMs are cleanly cross-compatible.
You will have to look at each individual ROM for the Razr. There may be indications or notes as to whether it has been flashed to a Maxx before; either from the OP or a poster in the thread. I know the majority of ROMs are labelled as being for the "Razr/Razr Maxx" but at the risk of bricking your nice new phone, you may want to check out other users experiences in the individual ROM threads before you go ahead and attempt it.
Thank you :good:

ADVICE : If you not aware whether certain ROM's labeled as RAZR are compitable with MAXX , use safestrap v3.05( if it the suggested method) , flash away without worrying on bricking . I suggest you start of with eclispe 1.5.1 using SafeStrap on one slot with your stock still secured. Cheere :good:
