Back Button Broke: Bye-Bye Moto - Motorola Droid X2

The mechanical back button on my Droid X2 finally wore out and quit. I was upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S3 and am loving it. I had some fun here, thanks to all of you devs and everyone on here. And MELVIN you cost me one whole night's sleep! But I'll never forget it haha.

MMMEEELLLVVVVIIINNNNN!!!!!!
LOL. Congrats brotha!
Enjoy it!
HUGE DIFFERENCE!

Wow. Melvin. A blast from the past. Wonder what ever happened to that douche? :laugh:
Of course, the one thing I definitely remember is Ash going on his, ahem, tirade in the forums and on Twitter. Now THAT was funny!

Don't you remember?!
There was another guy who came in and said "Melvin might have been real! Some guy from Motorola got arrested!"
Then posted a story (of course he couldn't LINK the story) but it was word for word plagiarized from some Apple employee story where they got arrested for leaking info....

Yup. I remember that. In fact, I had found the Apple story. Not sure why I searched. I guess the foul taste from "Melvin" made me want to ensure this was true because it sounded SO far-fetched.
Guess we were right! Melvin struck again!
Ah, those were the days. I don't see anything like that in the DROID RAZR forums. Got to admit. We had some fun times with the X2.

Thank you!

I want to say thank you to Froshed and Tazz for making my Eris worth it while I had it. I switched to a Verizon iPhone and I love it. I go from a phone that was very cool to use since I was able to upgrade the ROM's, but the battery would always die pretty quick. Now, I got a phone that lasts 4 times as long.
Thank you!
Hmmm, personally I would have much rather bought an extended battery (for a quarter of the price roughly) then an iPhone, but thats just my preference.
In any case, enjoy your new phone.

I think we're done here.

Sorry guys...

I was in an ill mood last night after work. I didn't realize it until after I made the post.
I don't mean to be a jerk, but it seems I came off that way. I don't mean to make others follow my views, I just want some civility and respect for each other.
For those thinking I am here trolling because I don't even have a Rezound... I do have one, got it on the penny sale, I just haven't got around to changing my sig. Got a bit lazy about that.
Apology accepted!
Thanks,
-Scott
I think you were right. People don't have patience.
After going through 5 different 4g devices LG Revo, Tbolt, 3 Bionics before get a working one the Rezound I wasn't mad and was rewarded in the end. So I can wait forever for s-off or custom roms, so people just need to learn patience. Even if this phone doesn't get I'm happy.

I have to agree, After using my own CleanTOOL 2.1.1 I am pretty happy wit the device as is. Of crouse I am dying for the ability to showcase my ROM building skills but... I cna hold tight unitl someone figures it out. I got plenty of other cool devices to play with in the meantime....
Buy, yeah, this phone is SICK!!!!

People mistook my other thread, but is isn't their fault as they do not know me personally and my personality. It can be hard to get some things across in type.
The other thread was very tongue in cheek, a sense of false anger to stress my frustrations at the state of affairs.
I was in a bit more foul mood last night though, normally I would not have started a whole new thread.
Hey man, we're all a bit frustrated because we're used to devices that are readily-rooted and can do whatever we wish with them. However, times are changing and technology is becoming more advanced, such as the case with HTC's new bootloader on the Rezound. If we have a few good dev's working on it that haven't cracked it yet, then it's definitely locked up pretty well.
And I understand the frustration you had regarding the whiners. Yes, I need root just as bad as anyone else, but it's the raw potential of this phone ONCE s-off comes that makes me hold on to it and not return it.
Once we get it... we'll make it RAIN up in here!

It's nice to see people taking responsibility for what they put on here. Everyone has an opinion that they are entitled to. Bashing others for not sharing the same opinion is childish. I came from the Thunderbolt and that forum got bad enough I just left. It's good to see most people here are grown ups.
I am excited to see what the awesome devs that are working on this phone are going to cook up for us. If we could all show them appreciation for the unpaid time they spend for our enjoyment, they may want to spend more time looking for that elusive S-Off solution.
They work hard for hardly anything. Some kind words of encouragement and appreciation will go a long way. They will also see this as more of a community than a hood with graffiti and tags on every wall.
Thank you for reading if you got this far.

If I want others respect and to be respectful then I must do the same. That means admitting my mistakes.
I work aviation and had to fix other people's screw ups last night (and last several days) and screw ups in the aviation world are a big deal, so I take it seriously. When one person is a cause of many problems I get irked... Combine that with the fact my Internet was down all night and tethering was acting up so I had to use the phone to get online... Just a storm of irritation that caused me to use poor judgements.
At least you guys don't hate me for it.

You must be new, but he's a great contributor to the Photon forums....
EDIT: i should say NEWER to the Photon Forums, if you don't know him...
lol he was out of the States...Damn good one son for outing his absence
My point was to let people know that he's okay.... Most people that have had a Photon since the start of this forum, HAD to have noticed that he was gone.... You're the one who said he left the states, all I said is that he's okay, and spoke of his absence from XDA... I never said any details *BLABBERMOUTH* lol, I'm just kidding. LOL.

You bastards haven't missed me? Pfft! Hahahahaha. I'm alive, still have my photon. And that **** served me well. I tried to buy a US sim card from h2o. Pure crap. Didn't work. But. I bought a European one, popped it in. And I was off like clockwork. Phone worked great, and gave me service in some pretty remote ass backward places. So I'm happy with it. Even if I get a new phone, keeping this one for travel purposes.

Developer Appreciation Thread (For the Eris)

I got this idea while lurking on the rezound general forum, and a lot of people have really pissed off the amazing devs that offered their help to bring out the most out of the phone. Yeah, it might be a little late to be making this, but with the Eris being my first phone, the community here has pretty well taken care of each other and the developers stuck with us, at least, until they got a newer phone and moved on. My experience in the rezound forum has been a little less than savory, especially in the last few weeks. All of the trolls and wannabe heroes that tell the trolls off have made me remember and miss the good old days here. It's been too damn long, and these devs deserve a thread where we kiss their asses (no sarcasm) To all the devs that ever worked on the Eris, thank you for all of your hard work.
Here's a list of the ones I know of below. I know that there were a lot, so there may be some missing. Just make a post or pm me and I'll add you if I missed you. No particular order. I just went through the first 11 pages of threads in the development subforum.

Thank you ... I haven't looked in the Rezound threads but I've heard its pretty tough there at times. I've found though, that instead of trying to be defensive with them, just call them out, let them know you really don't care and tell them to f-off .... They run back into hiding with their tail between there legs haha.

Thanks as well. This forum introduced me to the whole rooting experience and allowed me to keep using this phone long past what I would have put up with if I had to remain stock.
A a developer I know the troubles with any project and appreciate all the efforts.
Unfortunately I dropped the phone the last week and screen died, so I had to do a quick upgrade. Though about he Rezound but ended up with the LG Spectrum. Nice screen, rooted, but not much in the way of ROM's. Have to wait until ICS comes out.
Again thanks folks.
****ing right. It was a little more then a tear ago I stumbled upon this place and took took the plunge to root my Droid Eris, knowing that I was running 2.1 and would never see anything higher then that cuz the Eris was already at end of life. Then boom rooted unlocked and running gin-tazz. I've been hooked ever sense. Now mongoose is still putting work into this device running 4.0 haha amazing. Thank you all very much

There's so many things he's done for the Eris community, both here and over at AndroidForums, it would be a crime to not have his member name listed for posterity along with all of the other fine folks you listed above.
He is, without question, one of the most knowledgeable folks to have ever posted here at XDA and many, many folks are indebted to him for his help (me included ).
