Just an educational question, but why can't we just overwrite the kernel and bootloader the way the phone is right now? How exactly is it that motorola keeping us from uploading custom kernels and such?
If I'm not mistaken, they've signed the boot partition with an encrypted key. In order to overwrite it, you have access it & in order to access it, it's got to be unlocked & in order to unlock it you have to have the product-specific key. Without it you can't get permission to mount it as r/w. Think Motorola's chastity belt.

Im hopeful but not counting on it. I feel like a lot of dev might focus on bionic beast due out later this week. I really hope it happens within a week tho that would be amazing.
A weeks being very optimistic not that there's anything wrong with that tho.. because that would awesome; and hopefully the bionic will bring more attention to Motorola/tegra as a whole, rather than steal it from dx2, which would hopefully be in our favor.

Im Getting rid of my droid x2, I have a steller deal on a bionic I cant pass up. Dont worry about my themes, I will still work on them for u guys, just wont be able to test. I will also hand the reigns over of my theme to Nitro, hes a hell of a better themer anyway. ICS Will still be worked on. Ill still be around, Bionic still doesnt have a huge base yet, so this is my home for now.
I will miss your themes but its good to know u and nitro will be working together still.. I follow u both on twitter so have fun with the new device

I have created an app that allows me to travel through time and ensure the bionic was never created just so muff is stuck making themes for us forever. Sorry muff, we can't let you leave. If this doesn't work I am prepared to kidnap you to force you to theme the x2 for eternity. [Evil laugh]MUAHAHAHA[/evil laugh]

Very missed. Thanks for your work! It was appreciated. Have fun with that Bionic. Me thinks I'm going for the Prime six months after its release and hopefully get it free. Or if Bionic is still available and has an unlocked bootloader by then, I may get to taste your themes again!

Yeah I'm wondering the same, and how did you get this said steller deal? Is it a trade of some sort? lol
I wouldnt say steller, It was kinda just a deal that I had the money for at the moment and it sounded good. I just know a verizon guy who bought a bionic for his gf, she didnt like it and he offered me a good price.

If only we "us humans" could band together and storm the gates fo TROLLOROLA and demand better customer service, communication, unlocked bootloaders, consequences for lying to their consumers.. I hear trumpets and snare drums.. I better stop.
This looks really intresting! Could this be implemented in the RAZR in the near future? But idk if the RAZR is supported by the CM-team..
PS. It's running on OMAP 4430 in the video, same CPU as the RAZR ;=)

There's a Galaxy Nexus ROM already. When ICS hits the RAZR then we could try and build a linaro optimized ROM for us.
There are 3 things now that makes me feel I did a good deal buying razr. The new ICS wich is reallity for some, the kexec we know will give us a new cold in our almost melting ICS and this Linaro news.
I know now I'll have an even better smartphone that may last at least for anothef one and half year.
All this is a quite impressive life extending to a device granted by the dev community.
Rocks!

I've been having issues with network here in Scarborough Maine. At first Verizon was quick to help but after 2-3 months of trying to get them to fix it its like they are trying to ignore me. Also, this is after 2 replacement phones. So today I called back and they said my network ticket had been.....RESOLVED??!! Hmm this is the first I heard of it and obviously not since I'm still having speed issues. So I got transferred to tech support and they offered to give me a different model. She said no iPhone (I laughed and said that's fine I hate apple junk) and no 4G phones (dammit). So she gave me two phones that she "recommends" a Casio commander and an HTC rhyme....WTF!!?? So I kinda giggled and said I don't think those will work for ME. So I guess I'm allowed any current 3G phone on their website, I want suggestions from you guys annnnnd go!

great phone. single core but has a really good dev community. has more ram too, if im not mistaken. also has REALLY stable ics roms like cm9, aokp, miui, a sense 4 rom, paranoid, geeze theres alot of roms!
They gave me a Dinc2 and I love it. Just be aware the newer software on the phones are making it more dificult to downgrade to get s off. Which gives you perm root. When they downgrade with the newer software version sense roms bootloop. People are working on it and it is ongoing. AOSP roms will work fine like CM7 and CM9 or any aosp ICS rom.
jesus, verizon put up a helluva fight but after fighting with them tooth and nail for over 45 minutes, I am now the proud owner of a droid incredible 2. My time in the droid x 2 forums has been great everybody here has been extremely helpful in any issues or questions I've had.

well..... the rezound doesnt have any of those roms. We dont have a stable CM9 or AOKP. there are some but they are REALLY alpha (like no talk, texting, wifi, 3g/4g, etc) it pretty much boots. Although, there are some good roms. the one im running is Desensed, meaning there is less sense but its still there.

Youch. Not sure if the X2 could be considered to be better. At least, not from my experience!
Music on the X2 is awful. It constantly skipped and the 512mb of memory just doesn't cut it. If you're not using it for music, it's not bad, but as an MP3 player, wow. Poor, poor design.
But, if it's doing better than the resound, all the more power to yah! There are plenty of helpful people here with a lot of knowledge.
Enjoy!

Hey guys up for my upgrade and was thinking about which phone to get I like the battery and familiarity of the Max but the s3 is tempting too. So what's everyones thoughts?
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda app-developers app
If it was me I would go S3. However I am a modding nut!! Moto's are such a pain to work with for the dev's and the community in general and the Samsung seems to be so much easier, not to mention the Galaxy is an awesome phone.
On the other side Moto has very durable phones as where all the Samsung phones I have ever seen aren't as durable. Not to mention Moto has always been known for the better Radio for your phone reception.
GL w/your decision making and let us know.
I'd say the SGIII, too. There's so much already done with that phone already and it's brand new. Plus I'm done with Motorola, even though the RAZR is a pretty sweet phone. Messed with a friends that just got ICS on it.
Get the SGS3. Razr is garbage. ICS does not run well on it.
Thanks guys for the info. Is there any other phones besides these two that would be a good option? I need to be able to root
