Dead device... Sad but maybe true? - Motorola Droid X2

Anyone else finding that this may be a dead phone? No dev support really is making me hate this phone. What do you think?

Yea i really hope not tho I heard a few devs are working on a cm7 rom but I think they're having trouble due to obvious reasons... I kinda wish I hadn't recieved This as a replacement to my x1 now... The dev community is blossoming for the x1 now

This phone has been out for what? 2 1/2 months? How long has the x been out? A year or more? And the dev community for it is now taking off? Do you have any idea how long it takes to dev or code anything? In your spare time? For free? While holding down a job? And trying to have a life? If you can do a better job than what's being offered, have at it. If not, don't whine & don't assume that anyone here has the responsibility to please you or satisfy your schedule.

Wow Gary.. I don't think either of them asked anyone to do anything for them...just stating that they wish they had a phone that there was more development on. Do developers of other phones not have lives or jobs? motorola doesn't make it easy for developers so I think the comment was probably meant more towards them and not towards developers here.

Gary had it right! everyone needs to chill out, we already know BAMF AND CM7 are being worked on currently, plus who knows what else is going on underground (chinese bootstrap and first ROM, remember that??). now we just gotta be patient, and while we wait, email MOTO and VZW to fix our bootloaders!!

Sorry guys, didn't mean to flame anyone or read too much into any statement. I just think that impatience doesn't help anyone or the overall mood of this forum. In case anyone hasn't noticed, there seems to be an exodus of developers off of xda because of the underlying tone of entitlement being expressed by threads that imply that no matter what they do it's either not good enough or fast enough. I took the OP's statement as being demeaning to the development that we DO have & got a little defensive on their behalf. We just have to be patient with & protective of the dev community that do so much to improve our devices & feed our flash habits.

That's great man. Thanks for your time & effort. Unfortunately none of these companies make anything easy. Even Samsung, supposedly the most open & dev friendly of them, isn't really very cooperative. Coming from the fascinate, it was a never-ending struggle for the devs to glean any workable code from what they did release. I guess it's just as frustrating to have to fix all the code you get as it is to only get it in bits & pieces.
Edit: It looks like there may be a little pudding coming our way soon!

Very true. But there's no need to jump down anyone's throat.
Anyways, source was just released a little bit ago. You can't expect awesome things to be built in such a short time. Patience is a virtue.
Generally, devs are pretty good about posting things they're working on. Considering how recent this new info is, we need to give it at least a few days before we should start questioning what's in the works.

We do.... Well an unofficial recovery. But we don't have a fxz/sbf file in order to flash if we soft brick our phones. I know people are waiting to develop roms until this is leaked.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA App
Not for nothing, but I think the "stupid" comment might have been in reference to your apparent inability to conjugate the verb "to be" for a third person plural subject. I could be wrong.
The reason that there's no ROMs isn't completely because we don't have a FXZ, it's because the RAZR's source didn't come out until yesterday (and apparently nobody noticed - meaning there was nothing to build the ROMs from)
Oh ok well hope to see an sbf soon

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?

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.

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.

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.
