Thank The Devs Thread for the Beautiful CM7!!! - Motorola Droid X2

To avoid clutter in the Development forms, I would like to send out my thanks to all the X2 devs out there in this thread. To Dragonzkiller for relentlessly working on this phone and giving timely updates on the irc channel, to mastafunk for making progress on the X2's 2nd-init and hijack and other stuff, to aceoyame for starting it all and being the catalyst and fuel that all the dejected X2 owners and devs needed (btw, I do hope that you continue to contribute to the x2 dev scene and maybe bring us some MIUI action!) and to Hashcode for his brilliant help to Dragonzkiller on the CM7 stuff. And not to forget, thanks goes to MoonShadow-NM for taking the trouble of SBFing his phone for the umpteenth time to test some metastable code, ruining his phone and ultimately being the guinea pig for us and helping bring us the CM7 we all loved and so wanted! And definitely a big thank you to everyone else who continually joins the #X2-AOSP IRC channel, like me, to get an inside scoop of the latest and greatest and also frequently digressing a lot with rambling chats. Talking and discussing stuff with you guys was just awesome and a wonderful way to spend time.
Once again I thank you all for the brilliant work. It was an amazing few weeks and what a great way to start the new year with a CM7 ROM in our hands! Hope that this sets the precedent and hopefully we will see other AOSP based ROMS like MIUI and who knows, some Ice Cream Sandwich goodness in the form of CM9?
One can only dream now! Continue to rock on guys and I sure hope you eventually port ICS on this!
Feel free to chime in with your thoughts and thanks on this thread!!!

Ive been lurking XDA ever since I got my OG Droid years ago. I'm popping my first-post cherry to send a sincere Thank You! for all the hard work ALL the devs have put into this phone (especially you dragonzkiller for CM7 and nitroglycerin for ecplise). There are many others here, and you know who you are, that offer advice and service on a day to day basis that have made this phone what it is. The locked bootloader and being treated like red-headed stepchild from Moto hasnt stopped you guys from helping thousands of us out. On behalf of all the lurkers out there, Thanks!!!

Such a great job. I can't wait to see what's next. For this rom to be in alpha stage its outstanding.
sent from my cm7 x duce.

thanks so much..... so glad this rom made to x2!!!!! keep up the great work!!!!

I tried several of the ROMs and scripts before but then sbf'd back to stock as none of them cured my problems. Could anyone who's tried CM7DX2 alpha take a second to give your opinion on these points:
Video Capture: While taking 720p video, have you noticed any pauses, stutters or jerky video at all? It's an intermittent problem though quite frequent for me, so I think the only means of comparison is just to ask if it happens at all.
Web Browsing: While scrolling web pages, is the scrolling jerky at all? A fairly plain text page can scroll smoothly on my phone but more complex pages are jerky.
App Drawer and Home Screen Scrolling: Is this jerky at all on CM7? So far I've seen some co-workers' iPhone 4's, and other Android phones, one even a year old, all have had fluid scrolling. Mine is jerky and it bugs the heck out of me.
Audio Popping: I've actually never noticed this on my phone but just wondering if those issues are minimized with CM7? I've played some high bitrate mp3s (320kbps) and never had any audio issues. Just curious.

App draw lackiess and home screen is ADW Launcher imo. Download GO Launcher its hella faster in comparison

CM7 is a Godsend! My only hold back was it didn't access the external SD card. Well, that was a quick fix by editing the /system/vold.fstab file. Thanks to ej1911 for the tip!
I then installed Fruit Ninja HD and ran it. The game ran flawlessly. I've never seen it run smooth like this before. Under stock and Eclipse, I had to run Zeps V6 scripts in order to make this game run anything close to smooth.
With CM7, right out of the box, the game runs like a champ. With CM7 being an AOSP build, the bloat from Verizon and BLUR has been removed and the X2 runs like it should have: smooth and clean.
Thanks so much for the hard work in this. I know it's only an Alpha and that makes me salivate on what is to come!
Now, let's get Motorola to unlock that bootloader so CyanogenMod can REALLY flourish on this phone!

Right, people have complained about ADW free being included in CM7 because of the sluggishness.

Guess I should updated my old excitement thread hahaha

Is this true? CM7 on the DX2? How have I not heard about this? How long has the alpha rom been available? How many more question marks can I include in this post?

Just another first post to thank the devs. I'll be flashing this as soon as I'm back in the country.

It is amazing. Thanks to DK and the crew. I never new what the hype was about as this is my 1st android. As it is now w/ just a few pastes to get SDs working it the best rom ever for our retard phone.

I cannot post to android dev yet so i am going to thank you here:
Thank you so much you genius!

Love this rom. Boots super fast. Runs really Smooth. All the custome tweaks are sweat. The theme Chooser rocks. Thanks for making this possible dragonzkiller.

problem on my install
Thanks to you amazing people for finally releasing this miracle! I'm excited to give it a try.
So I'm trying to install cm7, I nand back to 2.3.4 just after rooting, cleared cache, davlik, batt stats, and everything else (except factory reset) renamed cm7 file as update.zip and then tried to install the .zip file for cm7, all on bootstrap, but it says, installing update... assert failed: run_program("/tmp/check_kernel") == 0 E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip (status 7) installation aborted. I don't want to sbf, but if no one knows what's up, I'll try that next...

Video capture seems fine, i took several test videos of some fast motion and had no stutters or jitters at all during recording or playback
Web browsing seems just fine to me
App Drawer and Home Screen Scrolling are great smooth and quick, ADW Ex on mine and is also GREAT
Audio Popping - the first thing i tried after a clean CM7 install - and the first thing i got was a pop and a stutter - so bummed. I have been able to repeat pops and stutters transitioning to the to and from the lock screen and with "light" multitasking - on MixZing - mind you it is not horrible, but it is still happening.

i love cm7!! it really shows how much blur was slowing down this phone before

[ROM] MinimalX

Due to recent controversy of this ROM, I have decided to halt development until I get the more important things settled in my life. Mostly finishing up with summer semester. Id also like to give "due" credit to the original devs of tell chinese ROM. I did use their ROM as a base for initial quick release to please X2 users. The files were highly modified to meet our needs, which indeed entitles it to my custom work... but to clear any possible arguments, I'm posting this so it is the first thing you read, and all is fully understood! As for future releases of minimalX, there is not a single trace of the Chinese ROM remaining. After the initial release, I did a system dump and started from scratch, just keeping the ideas of the original ROM and copying over modifications I had made. I hope this clears everything up.
Thanks to all those who have supported my development. This is a little ridiculous that I am having to do this, but I hope this nullifies any arguments of those who are not contributing to X2 development.
Release version GAMMA 3.0 finally released! See below for download. Sorry, I don't have to release details just yet. Edit: Removed for modifications. It didn't seen compatible with others devices.

*Disclaimer* This is a beta build of this ROM. It is mostly stable, but hasn't been thoroughly tested by anyone but myself. I decided to release it publicly due to the lack of current ROMs for users to flash. I expect general feedback based up what is currently in the ROM and what I can do to improve it. For legal reasons, flashing this ROM is based on your own decision, if it causes any mishap with your phone, feel free to message me and I will work with you to fix it, but I am in no way responsible for anything you do.
Not a whole lot of time to type this up -- I plan on editing when I have more time and as the build progresses.
This ROM is mostly debloated. Some bloat is left for general function of the phone. I tried to leave any bloat application that applies function to the phone that is otherwise inaccessible. This makes it an awesome base ROM for anyone who wishes to develop.
There are also many edits to system files such as the build.prop, apks, framework, etc. These edits are mostly performance based enhancements, but there are some visual changes as well. I plan on continuing the theme on this ROM based on user input. I may also consider converting back to stock theme and allowing flashable themes for those who wish to have more options. Themes that have been previously created for the Droid X2 (so far, I believe there are a total of three posted at XDA) should be flashable over top of this ROM, but I am making no guarantees. Also added is a sleep mode (accessed by holding power) which lowers power consumption, and turns off wireless signal -- The device is able to be accessed again by holding power. In general, it allows for maximum battery conservation compared to turning off the device.
TLDR;
Bloat removed
System edits
Framework edits
Much more...
In future updates, I plan on doing what you, the consumer, wants to happen. Firstly, I plan on cooking SuperCharger into the ROM. And hopefully, in the near future, I can figure out how to overclock this beast.
As for performance, this ROM runs great. I average around 3000 in Quadrant and in AnTuTu Benchmark, I average around 4750.
This ROM is optimized for performance, but doesn't lack on functionality. I hope you all can find great use of it and enjoy the work I have done.
Instructions:
Gain SuperUser access by rooting your device via Gingerbreak.apk
Install recovery
Move ROM (.zip) to external SD card
Boot into Recovery using the APK
[optional] Clear Data/ Factory Reset
[optional] Clear Cache
Choose Install .zip from SD
Choose SD card
Navigate to the ROM (.zip)
Confirm install
Reboot once installation is complete
When rom boots, be sure to firstly make your default keyboard something other than "Moto input method" (explained later)
Enjoy!
I plan on adding more detailed instructions at a later date...
Known issues:
User must change keyboard away from "Moto input method." This keyboard was removed from the build, but hasn't had all traces cleared yet. It will not appear due to most of the structure and APK being removed.
Charging battery animation is default
Browser search function is faulty. To fix, please install Google Search from the Android Market.
Please let me know of any additional issues you run into!!!
Otherwise, enjoy your DROID X2!
Beta 2.0 (Mirror 1)
Beta 2.0 (Mirror 2)
NEWEST RELEASE:
GAMMA 3.0 (temp removed)
Lastly, I develop for fun, but if you feel it necessary, donate to the cause.
Actually, we could make this into a fun drinking game. My 21st birthday is August 1st. I plan on getting $**t housed all day and all that weekend. If you donate, before August 6th, your donation funds will go strictly towards alcohol. If you donate, feel free to message me with what you wish for me to purchase with that given cash (note: if you want something specific, please donate that specific amount, otherwise, it'll probably go towards some PBR). I'll try to take pictures of the drinks before and after (depending on how wasted I am) and I'll message those who donated, or anyone who requests, with what kind of damage was done. Haha, I have some experience under my belt, so, don't take it easy. This should be fun.
Happy Android-ing to everyone!
May the Droid X2 prosper!
This post is not subject to perfect grammar; no one really cares. Enjoy the ROM!
Congratulations on the release of the first custom rom for DX2!
Screenshots? I would like to see what visual changes have been made - thanks (and thanks for stepping up to the plate).

Taking screen shots as we spea.... type. There aren't a whole lot of visual changes, just minor ones. They are the last thing I decided to tweak before releasing. I wanted to get it out tonight, so, I stopped editing for the time being to release.
I hope everyone enjoys!
After posting these screens, I'm calling it a night. Any issues will be addressed immediately tomorrow.
Gratz on the first custom rom!!! I can't wait to get my dx2 to get in on the awesomeness of its community!!!
Sent from my soon to be dx2
Updated first post with screenshots. As stated, the development of visual changes is very minimal at the moment. I wanted more input on whether or not the community wanted the default + flashable themes, or it to come already themed.
Thanks!
Sweet! Now I'm starting to not want to switch phones. Flashing this soon. Too bad I wasted time in UOT making a theme cause this BLOWS it out the water
This is a great way to end the day! Downloaded and will be flashing after I make a backup of my current setup... Can anyone confirm if exchange is included and working as I need it for work... Can't be without it...
THANK YOU.

Has anyone flashed this without wiping data/cache? Just curious, as I did a full wipe and flashed it and none of my apps came back.
Try Titanium backup. It puts all your apps back. (I know, I'm a smart ass)

first off: GREAT JOB to the dev..so far it seems like the DX2 is made for custom roms (being that the stuff moto has put out is ****ty). Thank you for being the first!
my request: Can someone theme this to look like VANILLA android? the things that irk me most about blur are the lock screen (ugly), icons (camera, messaging, etc [also ugly], the status bar (ugly)...im sure im not the only one who feels this way, if someone could be so nice as to make a vanilla theme, i am sure many others like me would greatly appreciate it!! thanks again dev

Im with you.
Although I am satisfied with the performance of the phone as a whole, I would live to get rid of the blur blue and grey and have the stock feel - even if it was only cosmetic for the time being.
The only thing I would definitely keep is the motor keyboard. It really is the best I've used on an android phone so far.

[Q] Is it time to port HTC Sense to SGS III ?!

Hi All ,,
A. Why HTC sense ?!
1- It's a thought and developers may give it a chance
2- I'm talking about a fully functional launcher with all the widgets very well implemented and displayed.
2.1- Enjoy watching this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sfRaWBgWao
2.2- Enjoy these pictures !!!

B. Why SGS III ?!
1- It's has a quad core processor along with the same system partions like HTC devies.
2- We have the kernel code resources released which might help.
3- It will be the most incredibly fascinating combination of the best software inside the best hardware ever ?!
Do we have anybody trying to HTC sense 4.0 to non HTC devices specifically Samasung ones ?! The answer is Yes see below ;
http://www.sense4all.nazuka.net/?cat=8
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657050
C. What we need from end users / thread quick repliers ?!
1- If you support this idea by any means you are welcome to post your comments .
2- If you don't support this idea and have no positive comment's kindly please don't flood this thread with discouraging words.
3- If you are a developer ( Unlike me ) who knows what are the obstacles and difficulties that may arise in doing this project which make commencing it is a futile idea please and please write in details what can't be done by you, who knows, may be somebody can help to solve it.
Thanx and PEACE
I really love this TouchWiz. It's pretty snappy and feels very premium to look at. I only hoped it had some transition effects. Haven't tried Sense though.
I would really love to have htc sense on the sprint samsung galaxy s2.

Yeah,,, Samsung had improved TouchWiz a little bit but IMHO the powerful hardware and the weather widget made the huge difference but essentially still you can say it's just a normal launcher nothing of a big interest in TouchWiz.
Now just have a look on HTC sense especially version 4 and you'll probably get to know what real launcher development looks like !!!!

You touch a deep bleeding wound inside me
No one on SGS II forums is actually willing to start porting HTC sense or even think about ( Except Swamp Goblin who has not shown any interest lately may be he is busy or I don't really know ).
Hopefully somebody their will take the challenge and try to do it
Will it seems we need to wait for Teamhacksung to release CM9 for S III for devs to start porting

there is a chance of this but it will be hard cos sense is kinda in a affair with the cpu if you can break it up then maybe btw i also saw that a dev said is was impossible we will try(im not a dev but i have a few mates on rootwikiz

If you have willing developers why not to recruit them to achieve this great project. Believe me it is at least doable ,, Sense for all team got it working on Nexus S devices although it is a single core processor and the resolution is much much lower. Now Qube2 is willing to help but he is waiting for CM9 which will be the best rom base to strt with. Kernel developers also needed and hopefully they will be got attracted to such a project.
Peace
Sense always has and always will be this ugly bloated stain on Android
I really don't get what people see in it, it's just UGLY, and it's slow and buggy, even the videos praising it you can see it slowing down the OneX or being unresponsive from time to time. Seriously HTC should have called it quits on Sense years ago

Firstly and at last it's a user preference, I've tried it on HTC one X it it's buttery smooth especially when developers boosted it's performance kernel wise as well as launcher wise. Check the HTC one X forum and see how tremendously they have optimized it .
Apart of from that HTC from porting is really a challenge that developers may get excited to take and experience.
IMHO, HTC SENSE UI is the best ever called UI with all the beautiful Widgets and social apps implementations.
Hopefully starting working on this will be soon.

I was just thinking. If you want Sense then why not just buy the One X?
It's not like it's a terrible phone or something.
I had it for a month, but come on both hardwares are almost incomparable especiall the screen type. Now just check the performance and you will see S 3 is far a head.
It will come.
I just can't wait till CM9 that way we get Sense 4.0 on this beast.
Touchwiz is the biggest abomination inflicted on vanilla android, its awful looking, unintuitive, and simply does alot of things worse than stock ICS on my old Galaxy Nexus did.
At least HTC have tried to go the right way, and limit customisations to areas that can do with improvement, and not include anything thats alot worse than stock. The TW4 launcher is fugly, the folders implementation is Samsung giving ICS **** folders we haven't seen since Froyo on stock.

Wise comment thanks.
It's absolutely time to port Sense over. I'm not purchasing another HTC, SGS III has the edge. Perhaps porting Sense 4.0 over before the Official US launch could spark interest and more development.

I'm not a fanboy, would love to experience sense 4.0 on my GS3
OP, you started threads about this for for the SGS2 without success.
Because of this, I see no reason at all why you don't just buy a HTC device.
If you're so desperate for Sense, just do it.
The SGS2 never got Sense and that's a year old - why do you think the SGS3 - one week old - will get it ported??
If sense is slow on one x, imagine it on a device not optimized ..why do people tend to make **** ****tier than it is?
I agree with the post above..you bought sgs 3 because you thought maybe it had sense? Why do you keep buying phones with touchwiz?

This WAS a ICS De-Sensed Rom based off of the latest ICS Global OTA. It is now however based off of my latest INFECTION 2.5 CM 4.2.2 rom
This was created because XDA member localceleb wanted a rom to use JUST for tethering yet still needed to be able to make callls, receive texts, and surf the web.
THAT'S IT.
This rom would be best suited as a bootmanager/side load rom to be used simply for tethering (but still able to receive calls and messages just in case someone needs to get a hold of you!)
Please note... There is NOTHING left in this rom. This is not built for practical everyday use! So do not expect a whole lot of support for it. It was designed as bare as possible for tethering purposes.
If you don't agree with me then you will die.
For you tweakers out there that want to build a rom (FOR YOURSELF, NOT FOR POSTING on the forums) this rom is a perfect base for you to add in the missing elements you miss. Just grab a cm-10.1 build of the latest Global and have at it with 7zip.
Miss having a calendar? pull Calendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk from it and drop it into the same folder of your base rom. Done. same goes for most apps you're missing.
Additionally, I have done a few tweaking to this rom for battery life and network speed.

Curses. a Rom I wish I could run if I still had the Rezound lol. Well done neo on some amazing work.
Just a quick compliment
Neo,
Just wanted to give a shout out to you for all the hard work you're doing in putting out your latest ROMs. It's awesome that you're putting something out there for everyone (whether they're Sense fanboys or like the more ASOP look/feel). Looking forward to your next few updates!

Wow I've truly never seen anything like this be done. Absolutely genious. This is a super smart way of getting insane battery life, I might just have to try this with my thunderbolt when I get my rezzy back and the bolt gets returned into a wifi hotspots only device.

THANK YOU
I wanted to take a moment to Thank all those who have donated since I've started pushing roms for the rez a few months ago. I also appreciate the many of you who have spent their time answering several of the questions within my threads that have literally saved me LOTS of time from having to do it myself even though I try to stay as active as I can with the questions in all my threads. You guys rock!
I have modified the OP to reflect those donators as I feel they should be recognized. If you see your name in the list and it is NOT your xda id, please by all means pm me with your member id and I will correct the op in all 8 of my threads.
As a reminder to all, I create these roms for the community without any expectations from any of you. There is NO COST involved on my part to make these roms. Remember that nothing is required of you to continue receiving updated material and to enjoy my work.
Thanks again to all,
-Neo
Missing?
Where is Neo?
Where has he gone?
Has someone kidnapped him?​
No.. He's simply been focusing on work while at work
I've been away due to recent illnesses, a feared brick tablet that I now have running in prime condition once again, and lots of busy projects/busy non android related work.
Tomorrow I will have an Android day but I can't guarantee release of anything or whatever.. but it will be my android day
I've decided that after the release of the NeoMAX and Adrenaline sense-less updates and possibly (but not likely) updates to Sense roms Simplistic and INJECTION, that I will be going on an indefinite hiatus for continued development to those roms. Furthermore, I will be releasing roms less frequently to ICS AOSP version roms RAGE and AOKP (but not pausing development)
My primary focus on both the roms and in thread help will be more towards Jelly Bean development ie INFECTION, TRON-Umbrella, & TRON although I will be tending to RAGE ics from time to time as I consider it to be the most stable of all my aosp work (we all need a little stability form time to time).
There will however be an update between tomorrow and next week for RAGE as I realized in my ill state at the time that I'd left out a few key mods that were present in other versions which left me kicking myself for not remembering them. Thus, 1.9.7 will be born soon.
I'll keep you guys updated on my progress and let you know what I'm up to when the time comes. I just wanted you all to know that I'm confirming a shift of focus to those 4 roms and any cutting edge development.

Thank you very much for this! I've been using your latest AOKP for over a week and it's been very solid, but I can't wait to try this.

Looking good
I'm very pleased to see it up and running. Good Work bill.
Btw, what gapps do we flash?
I did the one from goo.im for cm10.1 and voice search wont work
For those curious, here is my basic overview thus far;
I've been running it for just over an hour roughly and its fairly bug free (minus the wifi and bt)
Camera works great, minus the preview, which i still never figured out why it wouldn't work, you will just see a white screen, guesstimate where you are pointing. =P
Minor transition stutters, nothing major, just slightly more noticeable then on the 4.1.2 rom (give it time im sure it will improve)
I love the 4.2 feel, and all of the 4.2 features are working smoothly.
Overall, this a damn good place to start, You can tell when you flash this rom, bill put a lot of time and work into this, considering this is the first release, and it is so bug free.
Personally, i will be returning to PAC, as it is my daily driver, but im looking forward to what cm10.1 is bound to bring to our phone.
Thanks again Bill

Voice Search is a bug I still need to work on. I was really working hard on the storage issue...in the end, it was an edit that came from the Capitivate Glide that fixed it...LOL
Of course, either by some edit that CM added in or one of my edits, I broke wifi (it was working in earlier builds. I'm trying to revert some of the edits to try to get it working again).
This is probably the 100th build of CM10.1 that I have done, so yes, there has been a LOT of time put into it. BT will be a bit of a pest to fix, but I am sure I can get it done. I already know the edit for the Camera preview, but I can't get it to build when I institute the edit...which is really odd. I'm still working on it.

Alright, yeah, i wasn't sure if it was just the gapps, or if it was a problem you knew about. Im glad you got the storage thing worked out, haha, i was getting desperate, found that rom i linked to (cm10 thread) that used 4.1.2 partitioning for 4.2
See, thats a problem i have when i was trying to work on the apks for the rom i put on hold. Its working just fine in the first one, but when i fix another part thats completely unrelated, it breaks the first. LOL. I feel like Wile E. Coyote trying to catch the roadrunner at times.
Holy Mother of ****. lmfao. In bow before you and your dedication. I feel if i was in your shoes i probably would have thrown my machine out of frustration.
As far as the camera preview goes, are you just recompiling the app with the edit, or are you building it from source and then adding the edit every time?

The partition scheme is actually a step back to the old /mnt/emmc and /mnt/sdcard from ICS days . I found that it worked well on a few devices, but was having issues with emmc not showing up, as improper permissions were being indicated. I finally searched EVERY Tegra 2 device that had a 4.2 build to see what I could get working. The Captivate Glide had one that I hadn't tried, so what the hell, I figured. When it booted and I saw everything working, I almost cried
Yeah...I know what you mean about the fix one break another. Only issue is that since I was only checking storage, I don't know which edit broke wifi...lol. Could even be something that CM added in when they initiated wifi tether support...lol
Believe me...there were times when I looked at the Photon and considered it's aerodynamic properties and whether it could fly and how far...lol
I've tried both. Each way, I get the strange lot of errors...lol
Is wifi supposed to be working? I'm can turn it on and off but it never finds any networks nearby.

I forgot to put that wasn't fully working in the OP.
I'm gonna guess and say any issue with 4.2 gapps is due to this (via RootzWiki):
Does not include non-NEON libraries, as there have not been any non-NEON devices (Tegra and Tegra 2 devices such as the Motorola XOOM) which have received 4.2, and the 4.1 libraries are not compatible with 4.2.

I wish I could hack the webcams of all the folks who said we don't have competent developers for the E970 when they figure out what ignorant f*cknuggets they are. Like my nerdy ass is going to buy a phone that isn't going to get ridiculously awesome AOSP within a reasonable amount of time, ha ha ha ha!
Man, I wonder how all those dudes who ditched their OGs feel. BTW this runs GREAT. The screens in OP are mine.
Much thanks to all of the developers of the E970 for sharing their talent and work! I try not to post much - still a noob with nothing to add toward development so don't want to take up space - but with all of the recent work added, simply wanted to say thank you.
I still have never flashed a ROM (ever); it's not that the ICS development was not interesting, I simply wanted to spend additional time educating myself first. With AOSP, AOKP, and now CM, time for me to step-up my reading!! I'm rooted, unlocked, have my nandroid, and almost ready to go - though do need the GPS working as I can't live without it.
BTW, great, in-context use of the word f*cknuggets, Deathmonkey!

The best way to educate yourself about these things is to flash and play with them. Seriously, make sure you have a good backup, and then flash to your heart's content. Flashing a ROM and then flashing back to your good recovery each take a few minutes a piece. It's easy.
Sweetttt!! :victory: , will themes from playstore work with this rom?
Downloading now and excited to flash. Had problems with Codefire SR15, the power button caused a system crash. Hopefully that won't happen on this!

Thanks, Digil! Though I have not done it, I agree nonetheless. I knew I'd want to take advantage of all this phone (and developers) have to offer, so rooted and unlocked when I got it in December (thanks to Carret's instructions!) without issue. I have TWRP installed and did my first nandroid (though will do another to make sure I did it right, as mine was a bit large @ 3GB). Confident I can flash a rom, though not certain I did the nandroid right and want to make sure. I'm in sales and travel out of town quite a bit, so really need GPS working, so have simply been enjoying seeing the work, reading the comments, and trying to get better versed (after the wife and kids go to bed). Unlike many, I still do 1000-1500 minutes of calls a month, so needed to see the volume working as well.
I seem to be a pretty old fart by xda standards - 44, though still a heavy metal punk at heart (hair metal guitarist and singer back in the 80's). Though I love technology, I'm not as up to speed as most on these forums, so am taking it slower than I probably need.
yes finally we can get some good cm action going

lennyquai, I definitely feel you about wanting to take it slow, and do your research first. In fact, I think XDA (and hell, probably the world in general) would be much better off if everyone took that approach. We seem to have some awesome devs here, so I know when you eventually do decide to start flashing some ROMs you won't be disappointed. Good luck! See you around.
Btw, thanks to Shelnutt for putting this up, and all your work. Can't wait to try it out after work tonight!

I got you by almost decade... But the kids in here are pretty tolerant of old farts.
I'll caution you that once you start flashing roms you'll get addicted and flash everything that comes out. Titanium Back Up Pro is more than worth the cost. You can not only back up then restore apps (incl data), but once your downloaded apps are restored, you can restore the data for the launcher, which automatically setups up your home screens (be sure to do a full back up of apps, before you start flashing).

Has anyone had problems with data not working randomly? Chrome would just sit there.....
Edit: I noticed when my data wasn't working it was showing H, Now even though it's toggling thru all types of data it's working. Not sure if it was because disconnecting from wifi or what but all seems ok now.

Has anyone been able to find the "Enable USB Debugging" setting (I get a message to change it, whenever I use TiBu)? Usually its under the System section in the Developer settings. I don't find Developer settings and I think that I've been through every setting and haven't found it.

Why not at least say something productive. You doing this is rather annoying.

Tap build number in settings -> about phone 6 times and it'll be enabled. It's a standard 4.2 feature that cm has kept.

Has anyone been able to find the "Enable USB Debugging" setting (I get a message to change it, whenever I use TiBu)? Usually its under the System section in the Developer settings. I don't find Developer settings and I think that I've been through every setting and haven't found it.

Starting with 4.1 I believe, Google made it so you have to go to "About Device" under settings, then tap the "Build number" location seven times. A toast notification will show up when you start tapping telling you how many more taps you have to go. Developer settings will then show up in the "Settings" menu. Why they hid it like an easter egg is beyond me.
Edit: Dang Shelnutt2 beat me to it.
