I noticed over at HTC they just updated the thunderbolt to ICS. And that device is older than ours. Do you possibly think Motorola is actually working on ICS for Droid x2 and hiding it. Or are they just gonna say screw it with the older devices. THIS IS SAD MOTO.

Somebody just posted the same question not that long ago. Personally, I doubt they will do anything for the DX2.
Closed as per OP request.

I currently have the incredible 2 and am thinking of coming to the dx2. With a little research doesn't look like there's much dev support for here or is that because its so new? Just trying to see if its a good idea and looking for a couple opinions. Thanks!

We're at the beginning of the cycle with this phone so I think that is the reason you don't see much activity yet. An SBF was just procured and some developments are starting to trickle out. I just moved from the original DROID and so far I'm very pleased with this phone. I've rooted with gingerbreak and am running the supercharger script.

Lack of dev support was due to a locked bootloader...we still have a locked bootloader but we do have a way into a custom recovery. It is just a matter of revs hopping on and making roms.
99% of the devs looking into this are prob passing it up until we get gingerbread so they don't have to make their roms twice.
Thanks, just read another thread and realized the questions were asked. Had same issue with dinc2 bootloader being locked but finally was cracked and am rooted now. Phone is great I like it but because of signal issues in my area Verizon is sending me a Droid x2 to try out. Dev support for dinc2 isn't that great either but got the main roms like CM7 and miui with couple others brewing. Just trying to decide if this would be a good switch. Thanks

Any chance this guarantees ice cream sandwich for x2?

I saw a tweet saying its not coming to DX2. It being saved for the DX3.

Really and where is this tweet I haven't seen hide nor hair of anyone saying anything about what is or isn't getting ICS.
I agree there are no guarantees but if the bootloader ever gets unlocked I am sure someone will build some source ROMs for it. I also, and this is 100% opinion, think it will get ICS as long as Google kicks the devs at Motorola in the ass and tells them to stop releasing buggy as **** software. That and the device will still be fairly new, even if it is seriously lacking in the memory department. Hell I bet someone build ICS for the OG DROID.
it would be nice to see the ICS on this device. i hope development continues for it especially after the long wait for GB to arrive but my fear is that it will be overlooked do to the new devices coming soon...only time will tell...
So anyone heard any word on if our x2's will get ics or 2.3.5?

I am sure now that Google took the reigns the X2 will be on the list(not the top, but on it) to get ICS.

The one thing everyone seems to forget though is how old this phone will be once this actually goes through. It takes a long time for the legal part of corporate acquisitions to go through. Google won't actually be having a say in moto for at least a year, if not longer. It wasn't really to have a hardware company anyways, it was a patent grab for protection. They have also said moto will remain a separate company and act as such, so...

The other part of the equation is the dev community. With active, dedicated developers, many good things can come our way. Most of the best stuff we had on the fascinate wasn't the result of anything specifically released for the vzw fascinate. Alot was adapted by our devs from releases for other galaxy s variants, but we benefited from it because of their efforts. That's why I think we need to treat them as the resource that they are. One of the best devs on the fascinate recently left xda because of all the drama & he wasn't the first. If you want more work to be done on this phone than you gotta do your part to lessen the crap, not make more.

But it also had an unlocked bl and that help'd make a couple dev's come, we have 3 devs and i don't think any of them are happy
I know google aquiring Motorola really wasn't gonna change anything at least for awhile, but I mean moto hasn't been the slowest on updates. Although Verizon may get in the way of any speedy update

You are right there. Samsung is more dev friendly with initial firmware features but from what I've gathered their code's a frustrating nightmare & updates are painfully slow. Plus the nonstandard file structure adds the necessity of conversion for any type of real performance kick. Nothing is perfect, that's for sure. I'm just thankful to have a phone that works like a phone first and a hobby second.
As far as the devs are concerned, nitro & naven did excellent work for the fascinate community & I've been really thankful to see them here, not to minimize any of the other contributors on this forum in any way. All of them do something I don't know how to & I get to benefit from it; that's win-win in my book. So, what can we do as participants & beneficiaries to make these guys want to stick around?

Over the course of Sunday (9/4/2011) I learned that it is possible to almost flawlessly port Atrix 4G ROM's (excluding CM7!) to Droid X2. They are fully functional minus some cosmetic changes that need to be made for CDMA/Verizon. Over the course of the next week I will be porting some ROM's to Droid X2. If you want to learn more about it then join us on IRC irc.freenode.net #droidx2
This is the best news I've ever heard. Yes...

Your a busy one, Naven! Your hacks here, plus porting these ROMS over, AND your supporting your EC09 kernel over at the Fascinate?! I thank you for your hard work and contributing efforts.

Would these roms be based on 2.3.4? If so, would it giver the better support for the dual core processor?

This is what I'd like to know and just if anyone can say what good ROM's are out for it?
omg if you can port over the alien rom id be in heaven
Basically, go have a look at the Atrix 4G Development Forum. That will give you some kind of an idea. Anything based on Blur 2.3.3 and up and Nvidia Tegra 2 250 AP20H chips seems to be game. The Atrix works well because it is practically the same phone as the Droid X2.

Does that mean no custom roms? Also i hate to say/ ask, why no cm7?
Regardless YOUR SIR ARE EPIC, THANKYOU!!!!!!!
Does that Mean the bootloader could also be ported, in its fully unlocked glory?
I'll Be Looking Forward To What You Bring Over. Everyday Things Keep Getting Better For The DX2 Owners. I Still Can't Believe Dev's Were Gonna Just Pass This Phone By. There's WAY To Much Potential And Thanks To You Naven, You're Making It Happen. Great Way To Start The Week. Thanks Alot!

Doesn't anyone have anything better to do than to pick on this guy? Don't spoil this news by hi- jacking this thread for inconsequential posts.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
how would this work? i thought that everything had to be signed for it to run?
Would that mean it's possible to unlock the boot loader too?
Checking out the Atrix threads I came across this...
[MOD] Webtop Via HDMI Without a Dock *NEW* Added support for 4.5.91 (Untested) *NEW*
Would that be possible to bake into an X2 ROM? I'm not quite sure if the webtop function on the atrix is software or hardware based.
You are the man! I can't wait.

No. The bootloader is signed. Even the international [Atrix] users couldn't use the ATT/USA bootloader, one had to be made specifically for them.
Mod :delete please

Who is nitro
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
Nitroglycerin33 is who he is talking about. He is good developer. He has created roms for couple Moto devices. He is the creator of Eclipse rom. He help are community by making the Unofficial Razr Bootstrap. He made the only deodex rom for the CDMA droid Razr. He help many people get the OTA update to pass install. I say he is pretty important for use "VZW Droid Razr" i give him props nd hope to see more awesome work from him

Yeah, but I just heard about it on droudrzr.com & hadn't seen it mentioned here. Could be cuz he may be leaving xda...

Nitro saved my butt from the agony of not being able to accept the OTA due to some fouled modding. I saw this a while ago but man am I glad you guys got him one. I hope Nitro knows how much his work is appreciated.
I have ran his roms on many phones with no complaints. The guy is a straight up beast. Eclipse is the only rom you would ever need. And now if the fastboot files turn out to be legit...Stand back cause **** is about to get nasty.
He did some pretty cool stuff with the fascinate as well. His themes were really tight
