Z4root is amazingly easy. You install it, run it and then tap the button and wait a bit. You can also un-root. If you're going to install custom "ROMs" on your X, don't use ROM manager as it's horribly unreliable. Get Droid X Bootstrapper and load the ROM directly through Clockwork Recovery after copying the zip to your SD card.

yamdankee posted:instructions Haha that looks almost like the list I sent you. RubiX was an amazing ROM before and since it switched to a GummyJar base in 1.9.5 it's even better. Version 1.9.7 comes with a tool that will stress test your device at different voltages and frequencies to get the best performance/battery life.

My battery will last over 2 days with normal use, but I charge it every night, so no telling. I'd used Milestone Overclock in the past, but QuickClock is much nicer. It appears to only undervolt at the 300MHz setting, which is what the phone is probably running at the majority of the time. I've never really had problems with anything being slow at 1GHz, but since it runs faster at the same voltage, I went ahead and let it do that. It's not really noticeable unless you run Quadrant or something like that.

Crossbar posted:I really wish I could figure out how you get such great battery life. I'm on rubix and have underclocked and undervolted. I'm at about 30-40% battery after about 14 hours with light use. Not bad, but I'd like to get more. Nothing pops out as a power hog when I check the battery stats or spare parts. My "normal" use is probably light use for most people. I guess I send 100-200 texts per day, play some Wordfeud, use Pulse for maybe half an hour and use the browser for about that much as well. I talk on it what probably averages 10 minutes per day. I have full signal pretty much everywhere I go. Probably one of the big things is I don't use Twitter or Facebook at all. Maybe your battery isn't reporting the right levels. Have you tried recalibrating/bump charging/whatever?

yamdankee posted:Rubix Focused 2.0 looks like it would have better battery life for my Droid X than Liberty 1.5 right now. However, Liberty came with Liberty Toolbox which has some great options that I've taken advantage of like LCD Density, themes, and system font. Those changes will go away if I install Rubix, right? Can Liberty Toolbox still be used even if I'm using Rubix Focused? I've never used it, but in the RubiX thread, Drod mentions that the Liberty Toolbox will stay no matter what ROM you put on after Liberty.

I saw the other day that someone over clocked their OG Droid to 900MHz, which seems pretty ridiculous seeing as how it's at 550MHz now even though it's a 600MHz processor. What about overheating and the other stuff that you worry about when over clocking? I've set every one I've touched to 1GHz with no problems.

I'm looking through the xda thread for the z4root tool and it looks like people are having trouble rooting it with this tool at 2.2.1. z4 didn't work for me after the last update, but SuperOneClick did. You have to pay attention to the output, though. It says something like "If this keeps looping, turn off USB debugging." I had to do that, but it rooted the phone.

rotaryfun posted:But anytime after that initial reboot, it's like the recovery image gets overwritten back to the stock. Any ideas with this one? ROM Manager is a goddamn pain in the rear end on every Droid I've tried. Download the ROM manually and put it on your SD card somewhere where you can find it (a directory named ROMs perhaps?). Run ROM manager and tell it to flash the recovery twice and then tell it to reboot into recovery, then do whatever it is you want to do in clockwork.

I wont be able to get back into clockworkmod would I to run a restore? So you can't get into recovery by holding down X (at least I think it's X) when you reboot? If you can't get to recovery and can't boot, you'll have to SBF. e: That link to the SBF might not be the right file. I've never done it before on an OG droid, but you probably need to find the right SBF for your bootloader version (displayed when you go into bootloader mode). butt dickus fucked around with this message at 20:08 on Mar 16, 2011 |

Nerobro posted:doc, tell me a little about it. What is the best feature you got out of CM7? how's bluetooth? Bluetooth wouldn't even turn on, but that's probably because I replaced the kernel with the 1100MHz one. Even before I did that, it ran a lot smoother, but it's even better with the overclock. I hadn't done anything to it previously except one of the earlier auto-nooters, so I'm just now enjoying the updated market and such. Overall it just seems cleaner and faster, scrolling is smoother and games run a lot better. Pinch-zooming works properly. The touchscreen seems to work better and I don't have any trouble touching the upper-right corner anymore, which is necessary because there's soft back and menu keys added to the notification bar. You'll have to remove Phone.apk and TelephonyProvider.apk again if you don't want cell standby showing up on your battery usage. The only thing I can really complain about is the CRT-esque screen off animation doesn't work properly. Casao posted:You can install right over. Awesome, thanks!

Motorola's custom UI really doesn't make it that much different from stock. It adds some Facebook integration, widgets and changes a couple of the standard applications like messaging. That being said, there are still "ROMs" for the devices (once they've been rooted) that will bring your device to stock Android without needing to get into the bootloader.

SmartCunt posted:What is the major difference of having an unlocked bootloader? I've been running custom roms on my droid x for months now, which have unlocked features like overclocking and wireless tethering etc, yet I remember reading just a few days ago that the droid x bootloader was finally unlocked. What exactly does this open up that wasn't already available? Custom kernels are the big thing, I think. Even this isn't a complete lockout, because the kernel can be modified during runtime, which I believe is how the overclock works on the X.

Oh, for some reason the CM7 builds for the Nook still have TelephonyProvider.apk and Phone.apk. If you remove these (I rename them to .apk.bak) then you should get more battery life. Remove TelephonyProvider first as your Nook will spaz when you remove Phone (until you reboot).

It doesn't seem to hurt anything, either. Up until yesterday I had two Nooks at my disposal. There are a couple of guys here at the office with them, so maybe I can do some testing.

Xenomorph posted:I paid $40 for it. Much cheaper than what I see it going for on eBay. Don't pay for an unlock code. If you can, get the previous owner to call T-Mobile and ask for it. It's relatively painless and they just email you the code in a couple of days. If you can't get the previous owner to do it, maybe have someone you know on T-Mobile do it. I have a feeling that no matter what you do, you're going to be unsatisfied with with the device just because the hardware is old.

This is because manufacturers call a gigabyte one billion bytes and operating systems call a gigabyte 2^30 bytes. I think flash media manufacturers do the same thing. The filesystem also takes up a portion of the space.

I finally decided to bite the bullet and install Liberty since the developer of my old "ROM" got a Thunderbolt a while ago, so I was stuck on 2.2. I used an update zip to bring it back to 2.3.340, then installed both files listed on this page: http://www.droid-life.com/2011/05/28/download-official-droidx-gingerbread-4-5-596-for-rooted-users/ Then installed Liberty .6. I did all of these from recovery in a row without rebooting. After the first reboot, it shows the Liberty logo then goes to bootloader mode. I'm about to sbf and try this again, but did I do anything wrong?
