This.
I would safely assume this would help us reach nearly the full benefit of running ICS and possibly JB..

I just wonder if we can start building kernels or if we can only use certain ones once kexec is working fully.

Jelly Bean
Cant Wait for JB

I personally don't think jumping from CM7 to CM9 to CM10 (JB) is the right way to go about things. DZK is doing it right though IMO. He got CM7 stable enough again, IMO; To move on to CM9. He's been working hard and made what 5 Alphas and now on a Beta? (Don't know much anymore as I am on AT&T Atrix 2 now) But thats dedication and loyalty to the X2 for sure. I know he mentioned of a CM10 and JB but I as well as other and I'm pretty sure DZK mentioned, it will be awhile before it's stable enough to release. Now the Kexecis where it's at...if he can crack that, I may personally have to come and dust the X2 off as I have for the Paranoid Port and AOKP port as well as the Beta CM9. With everything else going on, again my opinion would be to keep anticipating JB and hope everything else gets worked on first to grasp stability on these great ROMs that have already been pushed out. Just my $0.02 on the Topic.

I agree with you. I think we need kexec working first. We are already running ICS on a Gingerbread kernel which isn't ideal, but it works. Running Jelly Bean on a Gingerbread kernel might be worse. But this is all in theory, obviously. Who knows, it could be super smooth. But with kexec working on the DX2, its guaranteed to work right. I really hope dragonzkiller can get it working. Especially before I upgrade to something else. It would be a shame if he got it working after everyone has moved on.

I agree I'd much rather get kexec working and have a fully functional CM9 than a half baked, unstable CM10 due to our locked bootloaders and no work-around(kexec).
Sent from my Stock Rooted DROID X2

Well here's to hoping that the kexec gets sorted out so we can keep up with those higher end phones.

I have aokp on my buddies incredible
it is seriously sweet
only thing lacking is HWA
the cm9 port and other ics Ports for the incredible that have HWA working perform much smoother
regardless, that's just my opinion for it on the incredible only, once it has HWA it will be compete perfection
aokp is one seriously sexy ROM, hopefully we will see it one day on the x2, it would make it enter pure beast mode with a double shot of adrenaline mixed with liquid cocaine lmao
time to have a drink in honor of dreams, don't let them die!
I'm running aokp on my transformer prime. I actually like it more than I liked cm9. They are both fantastic though. Aokp just has better options in my opinion. Team kang has really outdone themselves.

CM7 development?

I understand that ICS roms will come in the future after the kernel has been leaked or recreated and/or there is a full stock ICS leak, but isnt it possible to create a CM7 rom with the materials we have available? I just wanted to know if CM7 development is a possibility right now. Thanks

How is cm7 obsolete? Or dated for that matter, so how obsolete is stock gingerbread?? I think cm7 is a great rom, with endless ways of customizing, with tons of themes already in the market for free, is just like saying what's the point of all these Roms in our note android development forum because there all based on stock gingerbread . I think cm7 would be a great addition for those that think ginger is it and don't care much for an ics update, but that's my opinion. I wish I had the time and knowledge with a linux environment to develop cm7 for the note.

Cm9

If cm9 is on the touch pad which uses the snapdragon just as we do, and we have a ics leak why can't we have cm9 yet? I know when I had my epic 4g touch like a day after the samsung ics leak dropped someone built a cm9 rom... Please don't flame. I'm mearely asking a question in the q & a thread... Thanks!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I'm guessing it's the lack of kernel source.
But they don't have kernel source for ics on the epic 4g touch either... They built a tweaked Gingerbread kernel to run cm9. And I couldn't tell a difference it ran a amazingly

you know what devs we need here , the devs from the htc leo/hd2 that took a windows mobile phone and turned it into a development phone that could run any 5 OS like a champ, I had CM9 on my hd2 for 2 months before I got my Note and I ran AOSP ICS prior to that for a month and it's smooth as hell. We never had any kind of actual source for anything for it, actually devs were porting everything from the nexus one/nexus s/sensation/evo/incredible/desire hd and made it work , hacking all kinds of kernels , so yeah there were issues when a new port would come out like camera not working(most common issue) but never the less it always came around, now our biggest downfall is the fact that samsung decided to use two different processors with the two versions of the note, if they only would have used the same processor it would have definitely be a different ball game, it would be one forum and all the devs for the n7000 and the i717 would be working together and we would be using cm9 from the great dev imilka from the hd2 forum.
Agreed. I wish I knew how to dev. On the original evo we had great devs also... These devs just rather sit around and wait for the easy way I guess. Idk.

your argument has no weight until CM9 is out of alpha and has some functioning features
I would rather have a fully working cm9 if not for DK you would have no cm9 at all.

This has absolutely no relevance. This isn't a whining post. Peoples disdain for moto and Verizon has nothing to do with the community. Everyone here is very supportive and appreciative of the devs hard work. But who wouldn't want an official ics for our phone? It would help the devs a lot. Chill out with your misplaced self righteousness.

If you got official ics I bet DK would give you a Stable cm9 the next day with everything working.
We still would do well with a kernel that is for ICS.
Yawn.... I am so past this mess. Just waiting for my wireless contract to end so I can get a new phone. Until then, I'll run Eclipse until Dzk hopefully releases a more stable build of CM9X2. But, I do understand that he does have a life outside of playing with the X2, so I will not hold my breath.

I'm in the same boat as you, running Eclipse.
I've been running cm9 since release and it hasn't locked up or restarted? I find its actually not to unstable although I don't use camera and don't run many apps. Battery life is a little bit worse than cm7. Lack of flash I think is the worst I personally see.
Edit... I think cm9 would be a lot more stable for folks if they would turn off auto rotation for the time being.

That's the only difference I can see as to why I don't have a lot of fc's or random reboots. I hope it works for you. I think cm9 gets an undeserved bad rap because a lot of people forget its a very early alpha and try to run it like its an oe rom.

Awesome. You probably already know but just as a preventive measure, when you do the write up, you should make sure you say to SBF if coming from CM10 or nandroid back to an ICS ROM before flashing. It will save you from a bunch of people saying it doesnt work. Just lookin' out.
