So do we have a decent AOSP only ROM for the X2? I was looking through some of the ROMs since I'm really tired of the stock blur and it's incredibly slow rendering, and it seems that there aren't any AOSP roms. Except of course for the CM7 ROM which is still Alpha and doesn't have working bluetooth. About the only thing I like in the blur setup is the voice recognition, it seems much clearer and better apt to recognize voice commands than the stock.
Short answer is no. But I'm sure there are a few in the works right now. Just gotta sit tight.

Figures. I got this phone because I assumed it would be unlocked eventually like every other one out there and unfortunately it seems we got shafted this time. I can't believe there is no unlock and no AOSP ROMs yet.

No unlock still bug dragonzkiller has an alpha going of cm7 that's 100% blur free. Still has a couple bugs and is in alpha still but beta should be out any day now. Check the thread in android developement

Yeah but according to his thread blue tooth still isn't working and I use it daily.
The beta will bring a lot of fixes and dragonzkiller is squashing more bugs every day. I'm not sure about bluetooth but it looks like most of the other major issues (init hogging resources, no external sdcard, DSPManager crashing) ; have been taken care of.
That's good to know, but I still need that blue tooth. I have to have it since I have to use hands free devices while driving.

Just have to have a little patience. Dragonzkiller is working hard on cm7. I'm confident that he'll get it working soon. Even though cm7 is in alpha right now, it's still pretty usable. But, like all early releases, it has its fair share of bugs. But, I'm glad he released it to let us see what's been accomplished so far and it's pretty good for being alpha.

I just installed Eclipse tonight. It'll do for now. Definitely MUCH faster than what I had. Has some nice options too. I'll have to see if it's stable.

Remember quite a few of us, including myself, acquired the DX2 on Day 1 and have had NO AOSP ROM until now with CM7DX2 thanks to 2nd-init. More ROMs will probably go the full AOSP route now that 2nd-init is working now.

Yup, Eclipse is probably the best ROM out there still based on BLUR. But, CM7 is by far the best current AOSP-only ROM and it's still in Alpha stage.
I love Eclipse, but because it still has some BLUR components in it, I still have to use Zep's V6 scripts to still get better performance out of the phone.
With CM7 Alpha right now, I don't have to tweak anything. The only thing I tweak settings-wise is increasing the SD Cache to 2048.
But it's nice to have a choices for the X2. Let's hope it stays that way.
Well, when the CM7 load gets working blue tooth I'll definitely switch over.

We should see it sometime today (1/16/2012) per Dragonzkiller unless something else comes up. He's currently beta-testing the next release of CM7 and that has bluetooth working, fixed the init process issue (100% cpu), and the sd card flip-flop.
Just as I get the Eclipse one all setup too...Oh well I hear CM7 is worth it. The last device I tried CM7 on was an original Moto Droid and it ran so slow, probably due to the older hardware. I'm very excited to see it run on something with dual cores.
Per Dragonzkiller on twitter, BT appears to be fixed!
Bluetooth was an easy fix once i spotted the problem. All I did was rewrite the bluedroid lib with some code from Motorola. Testing now.

Because we can still boot into WebOS. I started thinking about all the folks complaining about what doesn't work on their Touchpad, and thought about someone who comes to the forums and might be afraid to flash because they'll lose the camera, or youtubeHD, or HuluPlus and just thought I'd remind folks that rebooting into WebOS is easier than some of the crazy work arounds people are trying. It's actually pretty amazing to be able to do what we do. Most phones that get an Alpha ROM with lots of bugs, have to deal with all of it......we can just boot back into WebOS and all is well.........so, Play with CM9, enjoy some apps and games, and the fun that it is, then boot into WebOS and watch a movie, or skype with your mom.........it's a GREAT friggen tablet!
So what doesn't work in CM9? I put CM7 on my tablet yesterday and the wifi not working and failing to connect all the time is driving me nuts. Almost to the point where I might just sell this thing.
Don't be foolish. There are threads 'aplenty dealing with and solving the wifi issue. Typically, it is caused by other routers near you using the same channel and changing your routers channel will solve the problem.
But if you are really so ticked off you want to sell, how much are you asking and is it a 32 or 16gb?

Lower the channel on your wifi router. Not sure what the bug is but that fixed it for me. (Iirc I had 11 or something, now 4 - works fine)

That only works if you can access the router. Kinda hard to do that at other businesses.
Will have to give CM9 a shot and see if it is any better.

What's everyone getting all riled up for? The original thread said nothing specifically about wifi, and just stated about how nice it is to have a dual boot system. And what doesn't work in android does in WebOS. Why all the negative ninnies here ?

I guess I don't understand the title. Cm9 everything works.
Netflix doesn't work. But at least change the title to represent this subject right. Maybe choose: between cm9 AND webOS, everything works (except netflix)
Just a thought. Ur title lures people in thinking that cm9 updated so everything works. And that isn't the case at all.
Just a friendly reminder.

I read this on Dalingin's Twitter. I guess I meant video codecs. The performance is great, I just want Netflix and HD Youtube.
Put on the alpha 0.6 after wiping with CWM. Works great. Wifi connects with no issues unlike CM7.
I keep seeing posts about HD video playing for Youtube and Hulu not working. I assume if I copied a bunch of HD movies onto it for travel they will have issues and general video playing would suck up battery life. Is hardware decoding in the works? Does CM7 suffer the same issue?
As far as video playback goes, I've been using arc media tab player. Using the regular. Avi files with very little problems. Its been great while on vacation and on the long flight.
I don't understand which is more reliable to use. I know what they are, etc. But will the nightlies have fixes for camera and mic or will they only be facing cm9 general bug fixes.
Please explain the process. Thanks guys
Sent from my R800i using XDA
Nightlies are ROMs that are compiled each night at a specified time using an automated server. The incremental alphas are ROMs that are compiled at a specified time and often become out dated. The developers then release a new version of the ROM.
Basically, Nightlies include the latest and greatest features, along with any fixes that might have been found during the day. This comes at the cost of stabillity though, as whatever code is merged with the main code is added to the nightly builds, whether stable and tested or not.
Incremental builds on the other hand are tested repeatedly and are much more stable.
So its really a matter of:
Latest features/fixes vs. Stabillity

When camera and mic are fixed, I'm guessing it'll be a pretty big release soon thereafter.
If you want reliable and stable...stick with official.

I'm sorry to say that I don't know any more than you...
But if you really want to find out more, Dalingrin (one of the devs working on the project) has a Twitter account and is fairly active on google+ as well. I'm sure when there's progress made, those feeds will hear about it immediately.
Last I heard was a couple of months back, when he (or one of his cohorts) had said that they weren't focusing on camera and mic, because they had other priorities (or something like that). But that was before they got hardware acceleration working, so it could be that they've shifted their focus by now... or not (no idea).
Dalingrin stated that with official nightlys rolling out there will be no Alphas anymore.

I just flashed the most recent nightly. I've been on alpha 2 for awhile so I am curious what significant changes have been made off the top of your head
Bluetooth/Sync
I'm waiting for the fix for the Bluetooth/Splashtop audio syncing issues. When you are watching videos from Netflix etc, (with bluetooth speaker) the sound is out of sync with the video.
If anyone knows of a third party app or workaround, it would be appreciated.
Till then, I'm sticking with CM7
Profiles?

I am curious, too. CM9 Alpha 2 does most things that I need, but I could use profiles. Is that feature enabled in the Nightly Builds? Otherwise I am very happy with Alpha 2 - it is certainly a step up from CM7.
It may just be in my head, but the UI performance seems better in the nightlies than it does on A2. In my case, scrolling in tapatalk is where the biggest difference seems to show up.

So far I have noticed that the nightly has made my wifi a bit spotty compared to alpha2 but it might have just been the different router.. seems to work fine now that I'm home.
I am used to modding android devices. I might be looking to get a touchpad for my mother depending on how stable an android rom is for it.
Is there a stable CM7?
What are the features that DO-NOT work? (that way I can assume everything else works?)
Front camera, skype support?
Again I would be looking for the most stable and bug free ROM that I would not have to constantly flash updates for her. Thanks!!
I have never used CM7 since I just got my Touchpad a few weeks ago when CM9 was out. But CM9 is stable. Just doesnt have camera or mic working. I dont know if these issues are the same with CM7. But if your mom has no need for all the apps android has to offer, she can just use webOS which is more stable than both CM7 and CM9.

Dont bother at all with CM7. CM9 and other ICS roms are far more stable. Pretty much everything works except for the camera and microphone. Battery life is nowhere near as good as in webOS, expect about 2 days of standby or about 5 hours of constant usage. Some people have wifi issues, but they're more often than not fixed by setting the router to avoid higher channels (keep it on 6 or below). The vibrate motor also for some reason stops working after the device goes into sleep, and the only way to get it going again is to reboot but I dont think that's a big issue for anyone.
As for a ROM, I'd recommend CM9 not because its the best but because its the one I'm most familiar with, and I can say its fairly stable. Sometimes it will randomly reboot, but never while actively using it. I'm using a nightly, but since you're giving this to a family member you might be better off with the better tested Alpha 2.
Stable Rom: Classicnerd
For me the most stable rom has been classicnerd's latest version. I have been using it and donot get any force closes or reboots. You can find the latest version at classicnerd.net/Betas/
as far as CM9 and the camera/mic issues, I think she would want to use skype to video chat with family members, so that would be a problem.
Does classicnerd have that issue?

webos does not have a lot of the banking and other apps she may find useful. Although is it easy to dual boot webOS and android? I'm thinking maybe its useful to boot to webOS just for skype and Android for everything else. That is, if its easy to switch between them.

Dual booting is the only way to do it. As far as I know, you cant replace webOS. When you follow the instructions to install android, you also install what is called a moboot that lets you select which operating system to boot into when starting the device. Switching between the two is easy and is just a matter of restarting your device.

CM7, yes.

Just depends on how adept she is at technology. If she can decently run a computer and text, she should be mostly okay. The one thing I would highly recommend is to make sure she can fix the wifi authentication problem. Basically, every now and then, wifi will have an authentication problem. When this happens, she needs to go to wifi settings, forget the router, toggle wifi off/on, and sign back into the router. This problem usually occurs for me when I leave wifi on and then reboot or get a random reboot. Takes maybe a minute to fix. As far as ROM, I like oat's light and tasty, although they're all pretty good, as they have the same base.
Sorry, I have to get this out of my system, then I'll be back to polite nice Canadian. In short, try one and see.
<rant mode on>
One of these days, people will actually glance through the forums as opposed to posting a new thread. This thread has been duplicated many other times before now.
In the end, again, just grab one, take it for a spin, and try it. Start with the more official ones, and work out from there until you find something you like. If nothing suits your fancy, take the source and make your own. It's pretty simple. So please stop spamming the boards with "Which ROM should I use" threads. </rant mode off>

I have tried CN and others but, I think that Oat's light n' tasty is the best so far. All my games run great and so does netflix and YouTube. But, a Rom is only good if it runs the apps you like. You I'll have to find the one that works best for you. I still think webOS is still good. Just my $0.02
I figured one more opinion can't hurt.
I've been using AOKP on my touchpad ever since I found out that they build roms for hp touchpads. It's great, so is CM9 but for some reason my touchpad refuses to behave with CM9, I'm talking random reboots, wifi issues, SOD (screen of death), and so on. ClassicNerd is also great too but I fell in love with the ROM control options available with AOKP.
Either way, one of the earlier posts mentioned that battery life is weak with ICS which is NOT the case for me, I always have wifi on, with my CPU overclocked to the maximum available frequency and get about 7 days, yes 7 DAYS, of standby and at least a full day of constant use.
As for skype, it is not fully functional with all android devices, just the few that the skype people officially support, I've tried it on my phone and it gave me a lot of issues, so even if the mic and cam were working I doubt skype would work well enough on the TP.
Obviously as others have mentioned earlier ICS is much better on the TP than GB, plus you have the great option of dual booting so you could always use WebOS which is pretty decent itself.
All in all, the TP was a great $100 investment and has a lot of support from some great devs out there. My almost 3 years old nephew has one and he loves it too lol
if you install one of the current nightlys, unofficial or official, she should be running just fine until you come over and install the one of the newer ones for her

Hi there, it's me again!
After being away for quite some time due to a lot of issues with my netbook, and being busy with school, I recently checked the progress on the Flyer. As expected, Dexter did an excellent job already on Jelly Bean.
I tried the ROM, and I gotta say I'm quite satisfied with it. FWIW, I am thinking about getting the 3.0 kernel from the DHD to run on the Flyer. But, I have another project I'm thinking about which sounds more interesting.
So, is anyone interested in Open WebOS on the HTC Flyer? I am considering to give it a try this week, but only if there is some potential interest from the community. It would pretty much be an effort where I try to combine various challenges: getting WebOS to boot, and getting the Raspberry Pi to compile Android kernels, since my netbook does a horrible job at this.
Please report if it sounds interesting for you, and if I get positive answers, I'll do some research on the structure of OWOS.
Although WebOS seems nice I'd rather see you beat the crap out of JB and try to get it fully working until you say "I can't take this any further".

I'm not sure, I actually think JB has 1 major dev working on it. Sometimes it's better to have multiple, good, mostly stable options too chose from than 1 completely perfect one.
That aside, I don't use bluetooth headset so some people who do really want the devs to pool their work into that.
I'm all for web os though. And dual boot (don't push yourself ) would be awesome.

I am using the latest JB ROM atm., and I'm wondering (since I haven't followed the development the last 2 months): what is really broken atm? Aside from bluetooth.
Mine VM with Ubunto is stil there for u if u decide to give Flyer some more of your time. Am I interested? I am interested in Flyer with as much hardware working posible; working BT for voice calls, music and movei playback. As long as those work well i dont care even if it is Win 3.11EE if it runs nice and smooth. However Geting camera and hw movie playback suport on JB would be very nice and would get the ROM to TOP level. U cracked those nuts on ICS; any way u give it a try on JB?
Welcome Back CHAOS I agree with Antis (even though I don't really Know the advantage of WebOs) i was hoping that You could do something like get the front camera working for Skype

I am using the latest JB ROM atm., and I'm wondering (since I haven't followed the development the last 2 months): what is really broken atm? Aside from bluetooth.

-Camera (front\back)
-Cant change CPU clock
-Some bugs with graphics
-External SD on AOKP is bad
-Boot animation
If you help him do it, it will be best ROM. Please.
yes, or maybe no...
while I'm a huge fan of webOS and would love to see it on the flyer I think your time may be better utilized by teaming with Dexter to finish ironing out the wrinkles in his JB build first, then perhaps a dual-boot option?

Hardware Acceleration for video playback. WebOS would be interesting.

I loved web os on my palm pre, just didn't like the hardware. I would love to have it on my view. Especially if we could dual boot it.

Slide out keyboard had very small keys and the slider mechanism was very poor. Screen was also very small compared to today's phones. The only nice thing was wireless charging. That was awesome.
WebOS ran very well on it though.
