Root Custom kernels on the x :)

Looks like kexec actually might be getting us there even after all the naysayers.

"@FreeMyMoto: RT @PalmerCurling: First driver on #projectbootloaderfreedom #freemymoto is a success! Wifi for kexec is a go!"

 

[VoidedSaint]

this is some good news! good job on reporting it to us only a few more drivers to go

 

[soapinmouth]

Btw these guys have a subforum, theyre asking for everyones help even the non devs!

Project Bootloader Freedom - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum

 

[Raptor912]

Yes, good news, but I am not going to hold my breath quite yet

 

[soapinmouth]

O snap and that quick they got bluetooth up too

"@FreeMyMoto: Are we going to be surprised and find that we already added working Bluetooth drivers? [Drivers] Droid X Bluetooth Driver - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum Oh the suspense!"

And in semi related news... Cyanogenmod7 on the x!

"@cvpcs: CM7 booted on the DX? well i'll be... the new from-source sensors *mostly* work, boot process needs to be refined and usb service rewritten"

 

[VoidedSaint]

yeah i wonder what mostly is!

 

[JrzDroid]

Holy crap!? Kexec breakthroughs and CM7!
I love our f#cking devs!

 

[VoidedSaint]

Don't you go raining on my parade

[VoidedSaint]

yea it is great news!
lets all hope that it gets better!

 

[Coolguy71261]

Yea

 

[alprazolam]

Gonna add to my twitter right now. Watching closely and I'm sure that the forum will light up as soon as all the drivers break through. So glad to be on a phone that devs care about.

 

[VoidedSaint]

well lets hope they can get it done, i think he is running into problems with his radio drivers for cdma, but lets hope they can pull through

 

[Coolguy71261]

if this gets finished could we see our battery performance beat an iphone?

 

[GandalfTehGray]

lol since when doesnt it?

 

[Coolguy71261]

apex might be the closest thing to getting the same up time

Droid X beats iPhone 4 battery life except in web browsing. The iPhone 4 is just way better at battery life while web browsing than every Android phone out there for some reason.

And that's all I do... lol.

me too but why then do some say that they only charge there iphones twice a week, cm is as smooth as skiing on a lake as smooth as glass

 

[JrzDroid]

I don't think I've been this excited in awhile. CM on the X would be a kick in the balls for Motorola.

One word as to why. Flash.

 

[StrifeJester]

They have done a ton of test on laptops and everything and keeping flash uninstalled can increase battery life over 30%
