Would the scripts used to boost speed work on Liberty's test build? Mine has started to lag a bit and I was wondering if anyone has tried this yet.
I am willing to try it but I am at work and cannot plug in to flash it right now.

I assume you mean the SuperCharger script?
They work on pretty much any phone/build/ROM/etc. I haven't run into one yet that it flat-out doesn't work on. It is just changing the internals of how Android works, not adding anything additional.
The only hiccup would be how the tweaks are stuck so they persist across reboots. Should "just work" but there's some tips if it doesn't.
Yeah those would be the ones, I looked in the thread for speedy and I copied and pasted the init.d file from V6 into the system/ect file and rebooted twice.
It then says to look for the "itworks" file. But is see nothing. I will try to flash it when I get home but thank you for the answer!

I started running the supercharger scripts a couple days after I loaded up Liberty to see what was happening, things felt a little more snappy. But my knowledge of scripts isn't too good, so that's about all I can offer ; )

Indeed. I found that thread a while back and spammed it all over my phone forums. Very good info. If you really want to get nerdy - How to configure Android's *internal* taskkiller - that got me into researching how Android works with memory internally. Someone suggested I was crazy for doing it manually, and I should just use zepp's script. They were right .
And yes, I am the new Sheriff in town. I don't have a (an?) X2, but hey I'll still try to be fair even tho I own an evil HTC device ... I won't even go into how evil the device truly is, we'll just leave it at that.

I was on .8 and wifi worked perfectly.
Just upgraded to 1.1 then did the patch and then the delete rotate toggle.
Now I can't connect to my home wifi network. It goes through everything like its going to connect then says disabled and remembered.
I can connect from all my laptops and my droid x with no issues. Just can't with this phone after the update.
I wiped and cleared cache. Then factory reset to get it from doing the boot screen loop.

Droid 3 one click = petes one click root method for ALL moto devices running gingerbread.
BUT apparently it wont work for bionic on 2.3.4
other than that exception it works just fine for all others on 2.3.x
But now moto users have a way to MAINTAIN ROOT across updates without having to use any exploit program.
Just be stock rooted make the mods and update. Check dev forum for thread to maintain toot across updates.

Or I could have reported his post to a mod, had him issued a warning for obviously not reading and searching. I used caps because it is written in normal case 500000000 other places so apparently he CAN'T read it. Read the rules. It clearly states that if people post the same topic they are subject to a temporary ban. Next time I will try to make that happen since you all think using caps is way too harsh.

Trying to have someone banned for asking a question in the Q&A section is bit out.pf hand bro.
I could understand if this was posted in the eclipse thread or development forum but this is the Q&A section.
If u didn't wanna answer move on
All I am saying is there are worse things than caps. Judging by his response, he read the caps, he was annoyed by it, but he went back and read the instructions and fixed it himself. I got him his answer while teaching him to look for himself. It worked. Furthermore in the future I am willing to bet he will read and search before posting. I am sorry if my methods make me seem like a jerk, but the desired effect was achieved and I am satisfied with the results.

Eclipse and liberty are just roms that you can flash onto your x2 if you have rooted your phone. If you or someone you know hasn't personally put them on your phone, then you'll have neither. It isn't something that would be on there from the manufacturer.

yes sir..u are VERY right.
all I am trying to say is try to NOT be harsh...some things can read harsher than intended when type.
im not trying to say u didn't or that no one is trying to help out.
but it is also inevitable, that people no matter what they have read, will still need that little bit of "extra" info on "what to do now"
especially since our X2 can be picky with what you do or the process you use to do it
I really just said what I did in hope to "preempt" any "mean spirited" replies.
imagine how u would like to be answered when entering a site and following the rules at least to not post questions in dev section and u really don't understand all these : ROM, SBF, OTA, root, p3's, su, busybox, CWM, bootstrap, recovery, stock, modded, etc... words and what they mean.
now im DEFINITELY NOT saying go ahead and write out exactly everything the person needs to do. I am just saying don't be harsh. not that u were. or anyone else in this thread((yet))
just saying a bit of guidance and clarification on things asked is nice to see....basically common courtesy.....
imagine how u felt or I felt or anyone feels entering this "world" of flash addicts who do this every day lol.

It doesn't make proper backups, and it doesn't load boot.Img. on old backups, which makes it pretty much worthless. If you have had any luck feel free to chime in, but I strongly don't recommended using it.

Works fine for me, but why not go over to Rootzwiki and tell him?

Nonono, the Recovery forum. The the Razor recovery.

I have had zero issues with it making and restoring backups. Now if your trying to restore a cwm style backup it will not restore the ext partition. But I remember there being incompatibilities with xionna and cwm also so it might just be a simple fix.
I agree with Curiousnoob why not post at rootzwiki? The thread I linked to is the support thread for the recovery.
Also your title is misleading, you assume because three people are having issues everybody is/will. There is also the fact the recovery is not called razor..bleh.
When I posted this, nobody had any success stories with the recovery, I was trying to save some headache, I will edit it

While waiting for DZK to have a decent break from school, I have been talking with a great developer hashcode0f (Hashcode) about this exact thing. kexec _IS_ possible, however, very improbable at the moment. I've been looking into trying to build the 3.0 version of the kernel for the DX2, but things haven't been looking too good... Namely nVidia is VERY SLOW on releasing their sourcecode for both the kernel and the processor... :-/
Anyhow, back to kexec... Yes, it's possible, there is a developer for the RAZR that has kexec working, however it only fires up on one processor. That would not do to well on the DX2. I have been trying several things that "might" work for kernel space drivers, namely modprobe and insmod, but I'm not having much success with that either. (Damn locked boot loader!)
If there is anyone else here that has extensive Linux/Unix/*nix experience and has a DX2 and is willing to work with me on this, please PM me! Thanks!

There are several issues that stand in the way. First and foremost is the fact that nVidia hasn't/won't release the kernel sourcecode. nVidia HAS released the 2.3 kernel source, but I was looking to compile 3.0 or better. Another issue is the nVidia CPU and GPU devices. In order to compile a "working" kernel, one would need the sourcecode for those devices. A third, is "injecting" the new kernel into the operating space with a locked boot loader. hpark21 on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562133 has given me some great insight on the kexec issues. I've pm'd him and am waiting to hear back. Hopefully we can/might get somewhere with this.

Though this relates to Android Development, it is more of a question isn't it? So, it should belong to General or Q & A. Since when did Dev section become the general section?

INFORMATION ONLY: Regarding kexec for the DX2
Okay, I have contacted kholk, the guy who has kexec mostly working on the GSM RAZR. He has pointed me in the right direction, BUT, this is going to take a boatload of work...
From kholk to me:
....as for KEXEC, you should wire an UART to your device and debug everything using a PL2303 chip while developing and testing.
Click to expand...

The electronics piece, I can definitely do... Which will lead me to debugging kexec. Once I have a "viable" test platform, I will be PM'ing those of you who have volunteered to assist me... This WILL be a team effort. Let's get cracking! I'll update as I have information. Most likely in a new thread.

Okay, I have contacted kholk, the guy who has kexec mostly working on the GSM RAZR. He has pointed me in the right direction, BUT, this is going to take a boatload of work...
The electronics piece, I can definitely do... Which will lead me to debugging kexec. Once I have a "viable" test platform, I will be PM'ing those of you who have volunteered to assist me... This WILL be a team effort. Let's get cracking! I'll update as I have information. Most likely in a new thread.

Sounds good. Once I have something viable to work with, I'll start asking for a boatload of Linux people to help.
Ciao!
Okay, everyone who has Linux and has the experience with it let's get working on this.
Motorola has apparently released the sourcecode for the DX2. It's called the Motorola OSMC on sourceforge.
Here is the link: Motorola OSMC for the Droid X2
Get your environments set up and start poking around. If you need help setting up your development environment, ask. I don't have access to my personal laptop from work, so I can't help you during the day, but over this coming weekend (31MAR2012-01APR2012) I will edit this post with an update on setting up your development environment. It will be a generic setup as I run Fedora 16 and your Linux flavor will probably be different. You should be familiar with git, yum/apt-get, eclipse (possibly), bash & shell scripting, and compiling from source.
This is a WORK IN PROGRESS and will take time!
Please keep this thread clean for development use. Once we have something concrete, I will start a new thread for testing. Thank you all for your cooperation and assistance!
Ciao!
Setting up your Android repo for use and build environment. (LINUX ONLY!)
1. Go to the Motorola OSMC and click the Downloads link.
2. Click the Droidx2_VZW link.
3. Click the DTN_150.30 link.
4. Read the README.txt file and go to http://source.android.com/source/download.html to set up your repo (don't forget to download the files as well as outlined here: http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html.
5. Follow the directions exactly. For various Linux distributions, your commands will be different than what is listed in the HowTo on SourceForge.
Please note that this is in no way designed to be a tutorial. This is for developers only. Please do not ask questions if you don't know what you are doing. (Sorry to be a PITA, but I don't have time to answer questions that you should already know the answers to.) Also, please note that I am using Fedora 16 as my Linux distro, the SourceForge HowTo uses Ubuntu and Mac OSX.
(I will update this as I find information that is relevant to this process and kexec.)
Ciao! For now.
Reserverd number II for future use!
All the dates on there are pointing to July or November of last year. Has this been around that long and we haven't noticed it 'til now?

Quite excited to see what comes of it

I have posted about this site quite a few times
I have the latest available bookmarked even
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mb870.motorola/files/Droidx2_VZW/DTN_150.30/
but every single time I posted about this every one told me that nothing could be done with it
good luck moon, and everyone helping, hope you all can get something going from that
i love how i posted a link in the bootloader unlock forum about the razr version of this like two weeks ago and now all this pops up... lol jk i mean i did but its good someones finally trying this. good luck Moon Shadow, your probably gunna need it with all the work your gunna have to put in. its good to see all the amazing devs on this great device

nah i was just kidding lol kudos to you for taking it the extra mile. all i did was lurk in the razr forums btw Moon, ill be happy to help with anything, debugging, testing anything. although i may not be the most knowledgeable about this stuff, im willing to learn.
Moon good luck buddy you guys will be rock gods to us if you get this going
Godspeed...May the force be with you Moon
I threw up my hands and smiled in extreme over-excitement. Now that I've calmed down, I'll get to work setting up a proper environment for testing.
LET'S DO THIS THING
I know very little about Linux but I would like to help in anyway I can.
I would gladly be your test dummy for anything.

Like the above poster, I am willing to do anything. I am very inexperienced, used windows all my life, not really any modifying or anything, but I can be a test dummy. I know CWM and RSD and if I permanently brick my phone I have ways of getting a new one. Let me test anything you are uncomfortable with. I would love to help

There will not really be any testing for "users" to actually do... This will require pretty in-depth knowledge of Linux/Android.
This is an attempt at getting the DX2 to boot a different kernel. Once we can get that kernel booting and stable, then it will be up to others, to build the ROMs. A custom kernel will allow the DX2 to be overclocked, run ICS (with the correct kernel, version 3.0+), and other fantastic things. So, don't expect anything spectacular out of this, even if it does work.
I don't mean to sound negative, however, I also don't want to get anyone's hopes up that I can work wonders. It will be up to others to take this farther, IF we can get it working.
As I stated in the OP, let me get a viable platform working and we will see where it goes from there.
Ciao!

sir, I know you can do it though, it'll just make our device more kickass and awesome. so thank you for taking this on, and I'm fairly new to linux, so i probably can't help at all, but I can't wait to see where this takes us.

You just told me to not expect spectacular things when my phone is able to run ICS.
Not sure if srs
