i did kang the new gb from Nitro, and a cm7 build from dg, and it failed, it has to boot on my device, before i release, probably because cm7 needs the 2nd init, which is stupid of me not remember, time to try something else, pm me, we'll talk

there is no reason for that...really...
Why is everyone always gotta be bashing others. If you can't say something nice don't say it at all. If you look through the thread the dev says he is in the works on it. So you don't have to believe anyone it is just for those that want to be hopefull. I believe that it is in the works and you can take it how you want.

Within the month, it should be booting but i'm being very pessimistic, 2 weeks top realistically for a bootable version not a release, i'll keep you updated

[bootanimation] Sentinel, from DOTM Trailer

First and foremost, If this messes up your phone in any way, I'm really sorry. But, I cannot be held responsible. I'm not a developer or themer by any stretch of the imagination.
I put together a quick boot animation using some screen caps from the Transformers: Dark of the moon trailer.
You can download it here:
It still may need a little work. I think it looked a little off center.
Let me know what you guys think.
Dammit, not enough posts to post the links.....
Anyone feel like having a looooong, 5 minutes between post, chit chat until i can post the links.....

How did you get the sound to work?
Originally I had added the line "s 0 0 xxxx.ogg" to the desc.txt file and added the sound to the media folder. But, it wouldn't play.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Sorry, meant to say it would work great with bionic.ogg too.
I tried ti do
# sentinel
p 1 0 sentinel
s Droid.ogg
But that just mucked it. s Droid.ogg is what was in the original DX2 desc.txt had.
O even tried making a new part before to initiate the sound. But no luck!
Sorry for the confusion!!!
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
I see what I did wrong already. I don't need the 0 0 after the s, just the sound.
I'll have the play around with it some more when I get off work.

I like it it. Maybe u should freeze the first frame for a second so that it looks like the phone is just starting instead of having the dahkness take over the phone once the animation ends
Can someone post a video of the bootanimation?

You might want to be a bit more clear...that is really ambiguous
I think his problem is that he can't download anything to his phone from the forums. Unsupported content

Yeah, you're being quite a bit unclear.
A few questions:
-Are you rooted?
-Do you have bootstrap recovery?
-What version of android are you running? (2.2, 2.3.3, 2.3.4?)
If you can answer these things, then we can help you. If not, we can still help you find out.

Go to Android market and get app "download all files"
U don't need to open.it or anything for it to work. Just go to the download link and press.it.
its magic. Now all of a sudden u will be able to download whatever your heart desires

Its not like u started a thread in development section asking "how come my battery is jumping when I reboot on 2.3.4?" LOL
I am loving the feeling in this forum lately(for the most part)
It seems everyone is becoming a bit more relaxed and ready to help b4 jumping on someone.
Did u have success? Which solution did u use?
I always tell people to use the "download all files" app from market cuz its simplest to use. Just download and that's it .. u don't even have to open the app. It works like a plug-in / add-on type of app. Very easy and lightweight to have running.
Oops sorry lol...by ur response I assumed u were the OP....lol...duuurrrppp!

The secret to not being attacked on forums: read before you post
Ash's right. As long as you don't make a thread on an already addressed problem in the wrong forum, you'll be good!
Glad to see the help! My buddy started the thread. Noob obviously. He is rooted...I did it for him. I have an Evo 3d not familiar with the x2. So thanks for not flaming him lol

In need of an X2 for a Dev

Looking for a Droid X2 can have bad esn or good i need one for a friend thats going to Dev for us I've seen his work on the Droid 1 and its really promising if any one wants to donate one or sell there for a reasonable price let me know
Who's the dev?
His name is ClumsyNinja21 heres his twitter https://twitter.com/#!/ClumsyNinja21
how much does he actually know? it doesn't look like too much on his twitter, but i hope he gets a phone, i'd give him mine if I wasn't using it as my daily phone.

Droid 1 had an unlocked bootloader. What does he know about 2nd init? Not trying to discourage him, but this phone has already scared off most developers except for maybe 3.
Sent from my MB870 using xda premium
He actually knows a lot after the Droid 1 he went onto the Droid X did a lot of his own kernel tweaking OC building roms then went to the Droid Charge and currently is working on the Droid3. Trust me it'll be worth it.
his twitter was saying something to the effect of an ul bl? why dont you give him yours?

No matter, the point is: nobody here is going to give an unknown a phone to work on a "secret project" after being so recently butt hurt over the Melvin Thing.
Sent from my MB870 using xda premium
Hurt? Guys all he did was waste our time, we didnt give him anything, we lost nothing. The minute it was said that he was bs i moved on, if we expect to furthur advance the development off our phones i suggest everyone else do the same. I too if one think the more devs we have working on our phone the better. Sandso i hope you find a phone for your buddy.

Hurt was a poor choice of word, but I agree with him. Melvin single-handedly made us all skeptical of devs we aren't already familiar with. It's a shame, but it's the truth. Not to say I believed Melvin to begin with, but it is the principal of the matter.
There's a difference here though. Melvin came out of no where where sandso has been a part of the x2 community for a long while. I guess what I'm trying to say is that sandso can be trusted because he's earned it.

then if hes been here for a while, why not get him an x2 for his friend?
Sent from my MB870 using xda premium
Well, I have a dx2 that I would consider donating to someone who is going to use it to benefit the community, I believe it has a bad esn, but I would need another phone to replace it. Must be android, and must be better than the htc desire (which i actually like). Would love another type of phone that is android with a large screen 4+ inches. Not really looking for the original droid, but would consider anything as long as it can be modded or at least can but miui on it as I am now addicted to that.
If anyone is interested, let me know.

CM9DX2 anticipation

Since nobody has said anything about this milestone yet, dragonzkiller has announced on twitter about 6 hours ago that CM9DX2 alpha might be released either tonight or tomorrow! Big props to him for working so hard on getting ICS onto our phones.

So, I'm curious, what benefits do we get from cm9 as opposed to cm7? Ics is nice, but will there be new features? Or is it just a cleaned up GUI. I know that ics should be able to multi-thread when gingerbread can't, so is that going to happen with our phones? (my guess is not until kexec starts working)

Well as of right now, only dragonzkiller knows how much ICS it will bring us. If its a full CM9 port, Im sure we will have all of the ICS features unless some things dont work. But this is a first Alpha so I'm sure not everything will work. It's just a wait and see right now.

Im sure there will be quite a few things not working at first. He's probably only releasing it because he has the main stuff working like data, wifi, cellular network, hopefully sms. I've been watching some videos on cm9 and saw that some other ports didnt have the camera working.
