Over the course of Sunday (9/4/2011) I learned that it is possible to almost flawlessly port Atrix 4G ROM's (excluding CM7!) to Droid X2. They are fully functional minus some cosmetic changes that need to be made for CDMA/Verizon. Over the course of the next week I will be porting some ROM's to Droid X2. If you want to learn more about it then join us on IRC irc.freenode.net #droidx2
This is the best news I've ever heard. Yes...
Just sprung a massive geek B

Your a busy one, Naven! Your hacks here, plus porting these ROMS over, AND your supporting your EC09 kernel over at the Fascinate?! I thank you for your hard work and contributing efforts.

Would these roms be based on 2.3.4? If so, would it giver the better support for the dual core processor?

This is what I'd like to know and just if anyone can say what good ROM's are out for it?
omg if you can port over the alien rom id be in heaven
Basically, go have a look at the Atrix 4G Development Forum. That will give you some kind of an idea. Anything based on Blur 2.3.3 and up and Nvidia Tegra 2 250 AP20H chips seems to be game. The Atrix works well because it is practically the same phone as the Droid X2.

Does that mean no custom roms? Also i hate to say/ ask, why no cm7?
Regardless YOUR SIR ARE EPIC, THANKYOU!!!!!!!
Does that Mean the bootloader could also be ported, in its fully unlocked glory?
I'll Be Looking Forward To What You Bring Over. Everyday Things Keep Getting Better For The DX2 Owners. I Still Can't Believe Dev's Were Gonna Just Pass This Phone By. There's WAY To Much Potential And Thanks To You Naven, You're Making It Happen. Great Way To Start The Week. Thanks Alot!

how would this work? i thought that everything had to be signed for it to run?
Would that mean it's possible to unlock the boot loader too?
Checking out the Atrix threads I came across this...
[MOD] Webtop Via HDMI Without a Dock *NEW* Added support for 4.5.91 (Untested) *NEW*
Would that be possible to bake into an X2 ROM? I'm not quite sure if the webtop function on the atrix is software or hardware based.
You are the man! I can't wait.

No. The bootloader is signed. Even the international [Atrix] users couldn't use the ATT/USA bootloader, one had to be made specifically for them.
Mod :delete please

So now that things seems to be moving foward(slowly), which dev would you like on board with our DX2?
My choice would be CVPCS
Which Rom would you like?
My choice would be CyanogenMod 7 of course!
Liberty!

MIUI, CM7 or liberty even tho I never used it. I used to use JRummy's roms on my OG and they were awesome. Hopefully MIUI runs nicely on a Tegra 2, because it was always laggy on my d1

+1 on that vote. However, I would like to also add it a vote for the DarkSlide team. They did wonders for my DX. I'd love to let them loose with DX2 and see what transpires. Although truth be told, once the bootloader is unlocked, it's really anybody's game at that point. Who knows what stuff could be developed once that hurdle is overcome.
This ain't android development, please post in the correct sections.

Both the Droid X and Droid 2 are locked down, but both can be overclocked, why is that?

I love the default answer people give to this question. Both are as locked down as this phone.

Not sure, has moto released their source code? Without source from moto it is damn near impossible to make a custom kernel (at least the way i understand it). No custom kernel means no overclocking. Also it seems development on this phone has been pretty limited to newcomers. Once we start getting more experience support, things should take off. Nitro just released his first x2 rom and ThatDudeButch is working on his rom...these two guys alone are great resources but also with Butch we also get TeamBamf support and they can really make things happen. Not to mention, we all saw what p3droid was able to do in about a day. So to sum this all up..I guess we just have to be patient and hope more developers jump on board.
The droid 2 and the droid x can be overclocked because they actually made dev versions of those phones that were unlocked, which afforded a developer a peak under the hood so a kernel module could be written. With root that module can be installed on the locked kernel and over clock abilities are accessible. The X2 had no developer version, no way to write the proper module. Soooooo we're screwed until Moto and Big Red decide to give us the keys to our own phones.

Disappointing to say the least. I have been happy with my rooted GB X2 so far but I still feel so... limited with it. A change to a different brand is surely resurfacing again in my head. Been drooling over the DINC2 for a while now but have been holding strong for the X2 waiting for some kind of miracle soon.
I'd love to see a 1.4-1.5 ghz OC on this bad boy along with AOSP GB D:.

Blame motorola for not making a x2 dev phone, but mostly for encrypting the bootloader keys so well. If we could just get Geohot interested he'd probably have the keys faster than a junkie diving into the pool for a crack rock.

I know there was a Droid 3 system dump and I'm pretty sure there was a Bionic one as well. Is it possible to port the Blur home from either of those to the X2? Or is anyone working on that? I've been interested in trying the new Blur home.
I would love to see this.

Theoretically, anything is possible. But whether or not it is worth the effort to do so is a better question.
It would be nice though.
Would be cool to see. Eye candy gives me nerdgasms.
I'd love to see the Bionic's blur on the X2, I really like the new lockscreen/home screen transitions.

<---agrees 100% ... I would love to see a bionic port... Btw zumocast almost fully works on my dx2... With the exception of: I cant update and i cant play video.. But if i could get the overall bionic ui i would be in geek heaven... Or even just the quick contacts widget would be a nice addition.. :d
Would anyone with a Bionic be kind enough to post up the BlurHome2.apk (or whatever the actual name is..). I'd like to see if pushing it to my phone works like the launcher2 did.
I don't wanna see any blur.. sorry

Very helpful....this thread is about asking to put it on our phones, not whether you like it or not.
So when are we going to get showed some love? Bionic development nearly already exceeds DX2 's and in shorter time!!!!! ....can anyone port the BigDX themes to the DX2?

How many times do I have to say that the bionic launch is 5x bigger than the x2's. The x2's development is at its max and thats all its gunna be. Be thankful we have nitro, dragonz and naven.

word broseph.
The attention really wasn't there when the x2 came out bc it really wasn't a big hitter, but whatever, we've got some awesome developers working on roms, themes, etc for us so i'm 100% satisfied with what we got now.
+1 thanks to the devs we have and all that you do

Unless the X2's bootloader gets unlocked, I don't see much more development than what's already been done.
My question still is: Is it just that the bootloader is that big of a pain in the arse, or does 850 dollars really not entice the right people..? lol

Bootloader will only be unlocked by Motorola. No other moto phone has been unlocked without a leak from Motorola. I thought everyone new that when they purchased this phone????

Nitroglycerin33 is who he is talking about. He is good developer. He has created roms for couple Moto devices. He is the creator of Eclipse rom. He help are community by making the Unofficial Razr Bootstrap. He made the only deodex rom for the CDMA droid Razr. He help many people get the OTA update to pass install. I say he is pretty important for use "VZW Droid Razr" i give him props nd hope to see more awesome work from him

Nitro saved my butt from the agony of not being able to accept the OTA due to some fouled modding. I saw this a while ago but man am I glad you guys got him one. I hope Nitro knows how much his work is appreciated.
I have ran his roms on many phones with no complaints. The guy is a straight up beast. Eclipse is the only rom you would ever need. And now if the fastboot files turn out to be legit...Stand back cause **** is about to get nasty.
He did some pretty cool stuff with the fascinate as well. His themes were really tight
