Does anyone know if Droid X ROMs will work on the DX2? They just got ICS thanks to firstEncounter, and I'd love to get my hands on it. Even if it isn't directly compatible, is it possible to modify some part of the ROM to work on our phone?
Thanks,
ramchand917
Short answer is no, you can't use it on the DX2. It can probably be ported over to the DX2 but I'm not a dev so I can't say for sure.

They wont work but can be ported over. They may share the name but are completely different on the inside

Hey please forgive me if this has already been discussed but is it possible in the near future that the dx2 will recieve miui or even cm7. i see the droid 2 and x1 getting major love (ironically after vzw replaced my x1 with the x2) and i really want a new experience considering that the update was NOT the improved 3d blur found on the droid 3....thankx
Well I know someone is already working on CM7. And should have a working build in a week or two. As for the other, it's up to the devs.

yes Miui and Cm7 are possible, also you can't have miui before cm7, they practically use cm7 to make miui, ergo the dx got "unlocked" at the froyo kernel from cm7, miui uses that kernel to work
Thanks for the speedy response guys. I hope we see both soon ..im really trying to like my x2

Lol yes I am working on CM7. I'm on my own on this one cuz It seems like I have little help. But I'm getting somewhere. In fact the GB leak helped me. But I'm trying billions of different ways of getting it to boot. So far I'm getting no where...
Thankx ...i really hope you're able to get a stable build up and going but i know its probably difficult with little help ...i hope the x2 dev. community picks up soon. so talented devs like yourself will have a team to work with
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

Hi dear devs,
kholk posted what seems to be an official leaked ROM for the Motorola RAZR (GSM Version).
I was wondering if can be useful for your work... I'm not capable of such a great work so... here is the download link for the ROM.
Many tanks to kholk and Motorola!
Obviously
DON'T FLASH IT IN YOUR MOTOROLA PHOTON/ELECTRIFY!
THIS IS FOR THE MOTOROLA RAZR (EU/ASIAN) ONLY.
I think what we need is an updated kernel for a tegra processor. I'm not sure that we can do much without that. But what do I know?
What we need is the source.
Source, tegra support, and ics kernel
I'm a MoPho-er
honetsly i wouldnt really bother with this. assuming you got the rom to boot youd still need a host of hardware changes with the kernel. and thats just to get it to work 100% on our phone like it does theirs (from what i understand its a rather buggy/busted release for them.
i hope everyone is looking at the big picture tho.. so long after ics source, and they are only this far in their flagship phone... settle on in folks its gunna be a while for ics blur for us
Thanks for your replies!
I think Shabby is right but I saw this rom as a hope because with Vanilla ICS or CM9 it's impossible to have ICS+Webtop ...
However, if somebody is going to try the impossible, I'll be glad to help or test

you guys are depressing, true we have a from built on omap4 hardware, but the idea is solid, and just because they have it buggy, doesn't mean we will have buggy.

The amount of hacking required would make this rom no longer this rom
Sent from my MB855 using XDA
anything new rom wise, on the horizon that anyone knows about?
Just an FYI, this isnt a question for the development section.
Now to answer your question, we really only have one developer working on ROMs for us and thats dragonzkiller. I'm sure we will get an update to our CM9. And apparently he is working on JellyBean but thats not guaranteeing us to be getting it.

The only way we would get that though is if we got someone to do it. dragonzkiller can't do EVERYTHING. lol. I dont see very much else coming out for this phone. All the developers who have ever had it has moved on to something else already.

Oh, Nitro? I believe he has moved on from using the phone but still updates the DX2 ROM if he can. I could be wrong. I think he is MORE involved with other phones though.
Questions should be asked in the Q&A forums, not Development forums.
Thread moved.

I believe you nailed that on the head, but I will go a little further and say he's probally NOT looking to do anything for the X2 aside from the Eclipse. That's not saying he won't ever put out anything more for it but I believe if he does it will be Eclipse update. (Not holding my breath).
Time for us to buy a Samsung SIII?

I know that some of the code for the DX2 has come from the Atrix forums because (i think) we share a processor with that phone right?
Does this news (of a leaked ICS from Motoblunder) mean anything for us?
Would the seventh seal be broken and the moon turn red as blood if I tried to flash this to my DX2? (Or just a regular bricking?)
Anybody have an opinion?

I was wondering the same thing. It seems that a lot of things are ported from the Atrix
I do believe that a lot of stuff is pulled from the Atrix. But it doesnt change the fact that we still have a locked Bootloader. Without that, I dont think these kinds of things would help us fully. Maybe a little bit more code can be pulled from it to make our ROM better but again, our bootloader is still locked so we cant change the kernel or anything.
And also, DO NOT FLASH THAT ROM ON YOUR DX2! ROMs are not interchangeable. Flashing anything made for another ROM will ruin your phone.
I wonder if the camcorder could be ported over?

I doubt it. I would think the camera has something to do with the drivers. And I dont think we can install drivers. Dont quote me though. I'm just guessing.
i knew these questions would appear soon. but yeah, this probably wont help us much since, like said above, we dont have an unlocked bootloader, and the only things different between the atrix && the x2 is that the unlocked bootloader, the x2 has 512 mb of ram && the atrix has 1 gb
That ICS leak also comes with the appropriate ICS kernel for the atrix, flashing it on the dx2 would do no good.

unless we had kexec running correctly, then the atrix kernel would run
