OK so first things first. This was a ROM I was
orginally building for the Droid X. When I dropped that
in water, my insurance sent a Droid X2. Developement
began that day. I give credit to those who deserve it, you
know who you are. I added my own minor twists and flavors
to the build. I also am in the stages of making this a "full" on
AOSP ROM.

any further delay,I present you ---

do i need to wipe data and cache to install?
EDIT: nevermind, i read the instructions.

---

Very nice work, with a very promising dev. I like the changes, and they seem to be your work as well. This is definitely the most tweaked (for the better IMO) ROM available for this phone.
I would be trying this out (but like all the others, waiting on a 2.3.3 update). I feel like it would be hard to go back, as I love 2.3.3 so much. Sorry to be a downer though.
Good work

---

I followed the instructions but now i cant see my screen i will turn it on, it will show the motorola dual-core logo but then its just black any ideas on how to fix this?

Bug
When the battery dies on your phone, it will be in a soft brick state.
Solution:
Boot into standard recovery (Hold Vol. Down while power up. When text pops up, hit Vol. Down until Android Recovery pops up. Press Up. Once in recovery press Vol. Up & Down to pop up menu.)
Select Reboot Now.
Droid X2 is unbricked.

just did this still having the same problem

More than anything else I wanted to thank you for your work. Looking forward to a gingerbread version!

Like the ROM so far, aside from the branded theme (I prefer GB AOSP myself)
Is the DPI on this ROM set higher than normal? It feels like the UI elements are smaller than they were before.

You may have to reflash, which means SBF and then reroot and all of that.

Yes, I believe it's from an unclean shutdown as my phone didn't even tell me it was about to die and then all of a sudden I had Low Battery Warning, 5% Battery Warning and then *Powering Off* all within 30 seconds. Although I had a similar issue on stock the first time it died.
Also I am unable to download certain Google Apps, I've tried Google Earth and Google+, both are missing the install button.
Apparently after flashing, the apps are no longer compatible with our phones... (Locality issue, the rom is based off of Minimal X which is based off of the Chinese DX2 Rom.)

This used to happen to me on Minimal X. What I did was take out the battery, plug my X2 into the charger and turned it on. It'd go into the bootstrap recovery, and then I'd pop the battery back in. You could let it sit in recovery for a while so the battery can get enough charge to boot, or just reboot, and it should go back to booting regularly.

Am I understanding the feature list correctly? Are the listed turbo-chargers actually INCLUDED in this ROM? Or is it that the ROM merely supports those features if a user has them? Please clarify. I'm seriously interested in improving performance. If this can do it then I will definitely give it a try. Thanks in advance.
