Burp!
To anybody who's watching this post now, first of all, why the heck are you doing this now?
Anyway, Protos 3 is near the horizon. We are working to bring all new Protos to you. But it is far below "nightly" (or "daily" if you prefer) state and will be so for some time. It isn't going to stay vanilla, and that's the thing that will take up some time. But we are going to bring lots o' changes. We are looking for developers and alpha testers (though we'll call them "beta testers"). Personally I am working on a new online tool for developers and testers, which may or may not be useful at all. If you fit into one of the above categories, don't hesitate to contact me or FD1999 through PMs or email.
Also, we are working on new Protos page and we have moved into a new domain: protos(dot)eu(dot)tf .
You can also contact me if you want to know more. Oh, and we will be going to have only one Protos version per device (preferring basing on latest available CM or similar).

Quite unsure whether I should post it here or in development thread
Any ways
I had recently flashed stock GB rom
I did a full wipe (not sdcard)
I flashed the latest protos and gapps
Rebooted
Got the same boot screen that of stock GB
And it refused to boot
Known bug?

Addendum to my post on returning to ICS, most likely Protos, which, now that I know this thread exists, certainly belonged here, not on the dev thread!
I am currently running Bytecode's CM10/Paranoid ROM. Same problems and foibles as Rashed's and others, but has the Paranoid options.
What did they give me?
Trebuchet scales icons and displays text labels correctly on grids denser than the 4x4 default. Long-standing bug that will likely never be fixed worked around nicely using Paranoid.
Asus Supernote UI scaled for our small screens and the thing can be used! How much I will ultimately use Supernote, who knows--I never used any of the others, but it looks interesting. Usually only runs on tablets. There are many such apps out there.
Talmud study app with a limited UI that robbed a large amount of screen area, now more reasonable usage so I can see more of what I use it to study. There are more than a few apps, not so neatly designed with such a problem, that become neater and more usable scaled with Paranoid.
General text-dominated apps like system properties and such can show more information, run in a tablet style mode, and just be more effective using Paranoid. One needs good eyes for some of this, but the option is there to take or leave.
I would love to see such capabilities in Protos as well.
Awesome rom so thank you Hope you continue update your rom.
Wait for Tablet mode, it's so great :thumbup:

Unfortunately every server on which FD relied went down forever together, so there is no way to currently get Protos 9, except by waiting for the new release by the weekend.
To get latest available release of Protos, please visit getprotos.tk. Now it is fixed.

Of course you can check the getprotos.tk site, which isn't enough stable ATM, but I think I will replace the Concrete5 with something else in nearest two hours.
To everyone else reading, please don't try to access getprotos.tk at the moment. I will edit this post when it's done.

EDIT: As per the request of Mr. Clown to maintain GPL compliance, this rom utilizes the stock kernel for the Motorola DROID X2.
After finalizing the stability testing of the Affinity Alpha ROM, I'm proud to announce the release of the first beta.
Now before there are any misconceptions or hate towards this ROM, I would like to make a few things clear.
This is NOT an original piece of work. I didn't build this from scratch nor will I pretend I did. However, what I did do is assemble a working foundation to start building off of, making it possible to release more substantial updates and make this an almost blur-free experience.
Regarding the controversy surrounding c21johnson's MinimalX ROM:
Although it may be true that he based his release off of the Chinese DX2 ROM, which itself is the cause of the "moto input method" keyboard that doesn't work and not the result of him "adding a last minute feature that was taken out right before release and all traces weren't removed" (I'm paraphrasing), he did put a good deal of time into building his adaptation and making sure it was stable, and we should all give him credit where it is due.
My ROM is also based off of the CHS DX2 ROM and I would like to acknowledge both that development team and c21johnson's work which helped me understand how to begin and develop this project.
With this current release, not a whole lot has been done yet. However, most of the bloat has been removed, the Blur launcher has been replaced with Launcher2, and there has been some style modifications.
In the future releases, this is what I plan to accomplish:
Full AOSP (This is about 25% done so far. I am currently dealing with some compatibility issue with the contacts, messaging and calendar apps.)
Rework the install process to actually format the system and preinstall folders for installing the rom, rather than just deleting each app manually.
CPU Frequency Scaling built in
Once I know app development a little better, I will release a toolbox similar to Liberty's to make edits, install themes, etc.
I'm sure more will come up along the way, but those are my highest priorities.
To install this ROM, you MUST be on an unmodified stock install. I tried installing over the stock ROM with a couple of system files missing and it ended up needing an SBF flash.
EDIT:
If you have a nandroid backup of the unmodified stock (except root and recovery) you can restore back and flash this ROM rather than SBFing.
1.) Download the ROM
2.) Place the ROM on your SD Card (internal or external is fine)
3.) Boot into Recovery (you need the bootstrap app to get to the correct recovery - www.bandbinnovations.com/xda/DX2/Bootstrap_signed.apk)
4.) Wipe DATA and Cache (VERY IMPORTANT!!)
5.) Install zip from SD Card (internal or external)
6.) Select the ROM and install it.
7.) Reboot
It should start up pretty quick, but if you are sitting around for more than 5 minutes on the boot logo or boot animation, you may have followed a step wrong.
IMPORTANT POST-INSTALL NOTE:
After installing and reaching the setup screen, skip the setup steps and get to the home screen. Then access the settings, go to language and keyboard and set either swype or multi-touch keyboard as your device.
If you enjoy what I've done so far, I appreciate donations. I spent about 20 hours in the past few days and had to do about 15 SBF flashes to get this to a stable point, and I will continue to put this amount of time on a regular basis. I'm really broke right now and I cant even afford a beer. Won't somebody buy me a beer or two, or six please!?!?!

Here are your Mirrors:

I Have attached the screen previews of the ROM's current look and feel.
Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy. Please use this topic to discuss any bugs you find and use the other topic for development discussion.
Sweet! I'll be installing after I SBF from my soft brick!

Sorry I am new to the X2 Rom world. This rom is only 24MBs. Is this right?
Great Job on the rom everything looks good so far
Yeah I am not sure what we are doing here either. I just dumped /system and was about to debloat and deodex. Why are the only ROMs posted 25mb? Is there a reason we aren't dumping the entire ROM complete with libs and bins etc?

This rom most likely does the same thing that MinX did which was delete all of the bloat and other pre-installed stuff then re-installs a small amount of files. This would be the reason you do not have to debloat yourself.
Is anybody using the supercharger script on this? I'm wondering if it's necessary. 200 mb+ of RAM? That is amazing...

The fellas who have decided to get the ball rolling on the ROMs don't appear to have much experience. They are tired of waiting amd are doing what they can to help development forge ahead.
I should mention that they both know more than I do. Glad to see you here though. I enjoyed using your dark ROMs on my Fascinate.

I am NOT tri-booting. The ICS that you saw was Evervolv and it was broken. I removed it right after making that video. I will NOT EVER be booting two different versions of Android on the same device.....EVER.
A grateful thank you.
Rev, I would like to thank you for your great tutorials. I watched your cm for dummies several times before I got the nerve up to possibly brick my new TP. Needless to say I didn't! I am running Xron 2.9.1 and plan to flash ICS once its a little more mature. I watched your video on flashing Xron and fixing the prop.build and both helped tremendously. So thank you.

I am awaiting your ICS vs. CM7 review, but since you made the X-Ron video you've seem to have gone to CM7... and now ICS (which that I do understand).
Was the xron before cm 3.5? Just curious, I had avoided the alpha till I found your You-Tube and phtt, so straight forward that I did it and no turning back, plus I now understand more of the root terminology. Dual boot's just a plus.
Soon Root my HTC Ineradicable S HBOOT 1.13.0000, now that I have the basic understanding.

I am working on the comparison video this weekend. I'm hoping to get something up tomorrow. There is just so many things to compare that I'm trying to make it worth watching. Check tomorrow evening for it.
Thanks Rev
Let me add my thanks for the great vids. WebOs was fun, but ICS is the tablet experience I was looking for when I bought the TP.
Just an FYI for those of you who, like me, hadn't installed CM7 in a while and got stuck on the command line screen with a device not found message and couldn't figure out what to do next.
Reboot your touchpad into WebOS. Select device info, reset options, then reset (or maybe it's reboot--can't remember). When the screen goes black, hold the volume up button and the device will reboot into a screen with the USB symbol. Now enter the command
novacom.exe boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller2
in the DOS window on your PC and you should be all set (assuming you have the necessary files in the appropriate directories as described by reverendkjr).
When I installed cm9 I felt that same feeling I had when first installing android. But this time having rev's video was a good feeling to be able to follow all the correct steps. Thanks rev

Its been decided that we won't use Cornerstone for the foreseeable future. The underlying implementation is not flexible and needs a lot of work.
It is 4.0.4. I forgot to get GAPPS before flashing, so Im downloading that now. It looks to be very AOSP right now. Will update in a minute
Edit- Having a issue with WiFi. I set it up and it works fine. I restart the tablet and it cannot connect and is stuck at "Turning on Wireless". Rebooting again has no effect. Toggling Airplane mode also has no effect.
Edit 2- Dock is working like it does with the AOKP- volume, lock, media, back button, and browser work, the other shortcut keys dont. It charges from the dock. Cameras work fine. Brightness works, but no IPS switch (duh). Overall, very promising! I hope the nightlies continue!

dalingrin- you dev'ing for the Transformer Prime? Loved your work on the Nook Color!
See my thread in the Dev section for downloads and Instructions: [ROM][AOKP][PORT] AOKP for the DX2 and the MX2 [8/4/12]
I have been working on an AOKP port for the Droid X2 and the Milestone X2. It's a port of the milestone 6 AOKP build available for the Atrix 4G (made by Th3Bill), using DzK's CM9 Alpha 5 as a base. Thus far everything seems to be running smoothly. I got it to boot after probably a good half hour of playing with the resolution in an AOKP animation I found over on RootzWiki.
I ran into some problems with the phone app refusing to show up, but eventually googled it and found that it was the modded contacts apk doing it. It still has a few things I should probably iron out such as some minor graphical glitches on first boot, and the section in settings for the 4G data crashing the settings app. In my probably fifteen hours of testing this out on my MX2 I've had one random reboot, everything else seems to be about where CM9 Alpha 5 is in terms of stability.
Anyway my point in posting this is: is there anything anyone would want me to add? Like a cool wallpaper, a cool theme, or even some cool mods. For example, I personally like the soft keys with the hard keys remapped to music controls that can be found over in the dev section. That specific mod should be left out, but is there anything you've seen somewhere that's for the DX2 or the MX2 or even a universal mod that you guys think would be nifty to have preinstalled? I've seen that there's at least a nearly fully functional version of Google Now for ICS, would anyone want that added in?
Please note that I take no credit for anything used in this project. All I'm doing is combining files to make something I think will be cool. If in the future you feel the urge to praise someone, praise DzK, Th3Bill, or any of the other developers I may or may not use stuff from.
awesome, i will be watching to see how this goes. Good Luck.
I know of a feature that you could investigate. Having 1% battery increments on the battery indicator.

I know of a feature that you could investigate. Having 1% battery increments on the battery indicator.

Yeah man, I second this. Would love to see 1% increments too.
I'll see what I can do. Wasn't there something like that for blur over in the dev forum? Might have to take a look at that.
hmm...it might already be there, just need to wait for my battery percentage to drop to confirm.
Edit: Or maybe not, just played music full blast through an unpowered speaker for a good 10 minutes, didn't drop one percent. So either I'm getting incredible battery life or it's still at 10% increments...well back to work.

i believe either in the systemui.apk or framework-res.apk youll hafta set it up to show battery increments of 1%, but i couldnt tell you if its within either of those or another apk. youll hafta google it.
Wait what is this about 4G data? The DX2 doesn't have 4G because it doesn't have the hardware for 4G.
The atrix has 4G. I think he is talking about a problem with the port because of that.

Yeah, the Atrix has 4G and the settings for it show up here but do not work because we do not have 4G.
In the way of the 1% battery I think I got it (at least while not charging), but I can't check yet because I tried to just replace framework-res.apk and it didn't like it when I renamed the old one before copying over the new one...so sbf'ing now and will check after I flash my updated zip.
Okay, I got 1% battery working, as long as it's left on the default battery icon option in settings.
On a slightly different note why does this forum have a requirement of 10 posts before you can post external links? I still need four posts before I can post links to this thing.
Well I want a download link so reply to all of my post, or go to general hangout bs thread and post about your day. Lol

I may not be able to post a link yet but there's now a wholesome copy/past-able link-substitute in the OP.
Downloading now will flash and report later.
Do I need to flash ics gapps with this?
I hope this doesn't kill my phone.

You do need to flash the ICS GApps.
Oh and forgot to mention you should wipe /data, /cache, and /system and dalvik-cache prior to flashing, and wipe dalvik and fix permissions after the flash as well. I'm not sure if those last two are necessary but I always do it out of habit from my old phone and I'm not sure if that was affecting the generally good results I was having.
Thanks, I usually wipe the big three anyways. What does fix permissions do? It won't hurt anything if I do it, even though I might not need to?

Fix permissions shouldn't hurt anything. If you running some special mod that requires special permissions in /system than it can mess with that mod but other than that I have never heard of it causing problems.
(Here you go, get one more post in) What are the advantages of AOKP opposed to say CM9 or even MIUI?
Edit: and if this is even semi stable and working shouldn't it be moved on over to And Dev section?

AOKP is actually very similar to CM9, based on it in fact, the major difference there is that AOKP has a few more customization options in it. It has a whole section in settings called "ROM Control" through which you can change a whole slew of things. Most of those things are related to the interface but there are a couple of sections with some cool performance tweaks, like you can set custom values for the sd card speed tweak, you can have it zip-align unaligned apk's at boot, fix permissions at boot and other things. AOKP also has some other performance tweaks set up that are integrated into the system.
MIUI I haven't actually used on this phone, or ever on ICS, but as I understand it MIUI is more about looks and being able to theme it than it is about performance. AOKP and CM9 are more centered around providing great performance with an interface that is simple and clean. MIUI is much more flashy. It's also much easier to theme MIUI than it is to theme CM9 or AOKP. Or so I've heard I've never actually tried theming it.
The only reason I didn't put this in the Dev forum was because it required 10 posts to put up a new thread in there. Actually, I think this post gives me that 10 posts. Should I go ahead and put a thread up in there with instructions, links and all that?
Edit: Meant to ask another question, has anyone tried my DX2 version, I only have an MX2 and have only tested that. Would like to know if the DX2 version works.
Very in depth answer, thank you. But yes, I would move it over to dev and let some more people. Im away this weekend but if no x2 users have tried this by mon or tue ill give it a go.
Edit:Nope I thought about it and I don't know about posting again over in dev, they might get on you for double posting. I'd contact a mod and ask them to move it for you and rename it. Just my opinion.

Sorry if I am being totally stupid .
I understand that oats is "upset" and has withdrawn and discontinued Light and Tasty but all link's for AOKP also appear to have disappeared. Are they both from the same person/source .
In the oats thread there was an announcement that the thread is discontinued and links deleted .
In AOKP I didn't see any announcement or links deleted. Just that the links now go nowhere.
Lets play nice , a simple answer if someone has it , not a referral to Google.
Thanks
Looks like AOKP for TouchPad is dead. Found this picture http://i.imgur.com/FQfun.png @ RootzWiki

Thanks for answering, what a horrible coincidence ! So no more AKOP either.
I can understand if a developer no longer has the time or inclination to continue with a build.
But not why existing links are canceled /deleted or why people are not allowed to share one's they already have .
I think it's AOKP not AKOP.

Tell me about it. Haven't updated my TP in 6 months and when I finally got around to it yesterday, I missed OaT's seemingly fantastic ROM's by mere hours.
I'm in the same boat as you guys. I finally had time to upgrade my touchpad to CM9 yesterday, and really wanted to try out Oats since everyone says it's super fast and smooth and near-perfect, but I missed it by a few minutes

Actually, this is one of the reasons why I hold onto all ROM's that I download, even the old ones: in case the links get taken down, I still have them for myself or anything else who might want them.

I do the same thing with the roms I use. It's saved me a few times experimenting with my touchpad.
Drdoombot: any chance you can send me a pm? Thanks.
Changing roms
If I change from nightly to OaT's lat or AOKP can I flash over or should I do a totally fresh install With acme after uninstalling.?

Full wipe and flash.
Seriously? That's almost 2 months old. In case you havent seen, about 2 weeks ago, protekk tweeted "breaking out the touch pad, no promises!". Seriously, do some research. Aokp supports the nexus devices right now. They rebuilt from scratch. What do you expect? A perfect build day 1? No. They are still working.
