Hey everyone, It has come time for me to leave. As much fun as it has been in here for the last year plus, it is time for me to move on. I have noticed that a lot of our core group has really been moving on as well.
I will forward the information on how to fix the boot sequence for the CM based ROMs to alteredlikeness so that he can put that into the next builds for his CM based work.
I will still be in and out once in a while, and I will still be on IRC and help out the other devs in the background, but I will not be hanging out in here everyday as I have been. I have put my Atrix2 up for sale, and I am in the process of getting a galaxy nexus to run the new ubuntu phone OS on, and I am going to switch to working only on that for dev work for the time being.
It has been great and I wish everyone the best of luck and best wishes.
Well damn. Best of luck to you good Sir!!!

Yeah this was a really hard decision, and after thinking on it for most of the holidays and then Ubuntu making their announcement, I knew that is what I was really after, and where I really would LOVE to spend my free time.
I am in no way abandoning you or anyone here, and I will still answer my PMs, because I will still be participating on XDA, I will just be focusing on the ubuntu phone OS instead. As I said I will still hang out in our IRC rooms and check in here every so often, but I am sure it will be less and less as time goes on.

Thank you! Same to you.
I am hoping to see some of you guys on the Ubuntu side of the fence soon. I saw several people note that they were excited, and a used Galaxy Nexus is not very expensive right now, and it has an HSPA+ radio just like this phone, so.... it should be pretty close, but that it is more like the SGS3 in hardware, and it is fully unlocked like the SGS3. I am also keeping the SGS3 and going to work to get that on Ubuntu too, so for those that have that phone too, I will still see some of you over there, with hopefully some great ubuntu work that I will be doing.
I decided this after my last attempt at killing the bootloader on this phone frustrated me so much, and the fact that I have 2 devices that are unlocked right now that I can do anything I want with, that this was my only real reason for doing this (freedom).
I have also noticed that the dynamic has changed in here as of late, and that just gave me the extra push to move forward.
Again, you all have fun and keep the good stuff flowing in here and I will speak to everyone soon I hope.
Thanks!
Thanks for all you work!
I recently purchased 2 lapdocks to use with my Raspberry Pi. While waiting for my HDMI adapters to show up from China [still waiting], I got bored and bought an atrix2 this past weekend and was excited to find that you had done some great work with WebTop.
Sadly my atrix2 was already OTA ICS as I was stoked to have a real desktop OS running on this phone. However, I understand the need to move on.
Looks like I'll need to pick up a Galaxy Nexus soon!
I think it's a wise move on your part.. all of us, and especially you, are limited by Moto's lockdown.. and I too am really looking forward to Ubuntu for phones.. they are going to change things and contribute to mobile OS's in a big way. Good things will come of this, and I will definitely be joining you in dev'ing it in the future...
Without being too dramatic - we will keep pushing forward with the foundation that basically you alone put together here.. until we all eventually move on to other devices... sigh.. everything's so fleeting..
Thanks again, Jim! Ttyl..

Its a very sad day for A2.. :/ My genuine heartfelt thanks for everything youve done for this phone, one of my decisions to get this phone was because of such dedicated and talented devs like you. Will always be grateful man. All the best and I hope you'll drop in once in a while.. Cheers
Btw, even i'm contemplating getting a Galaxy Nexus.. maybe in a month when the salary comes
My best regards to you Jim, one of the best around.
Will certainly miss you sir, and all the hard work you've brought to this community.
Does your supersekrit CM10 builds feature the work that you had done towards webtop, or should I simply enjoy the devices that I have au natural and not worry about being on bleeding edge of cool?
Thank you again, and enjoy your new toys.
Regards.
^+1. Yah we'll miss u Sir! Have a great time
life!
Motorola pretty much made it impossible to do anything proper with this phone, which is sad because hardware wise it's about as solid as they come. It's been an uphill fight since day one, and we couldn't have had a better fighter for our cause. Like many others, I want to say thank you for helping us along keeping this phone up to par. I'm due for an upgrade, so I'm sure I'll be bugging you in another forum before you know it. :laugh: Thanks Jim.

The bootloader will never be unlocked, Jim was the only real hope it would ever be unlocked.

There might still be one or two things I have hidden up my sleeve that I may still release soon.
As far as the bootloader goes, yeah that is not getting unlocked. I tried for a little more than a year. I know when to finally call it quits. I really had a good one there with the rootkit and booting off the sdcard, but there were still checks that moto has for that too, so....
As I said earlier in this thread, my time in here is going start to taper off slowly and over time I will just fade off into the sunset... LOL.

Hey, what happened with kexec? I never tried it as you said it hard bricks the a2.. I do remember seeing a thread where you said it was working and we just need c coders now.. if kexec dosent hard brick, I guess a little can be ported from RAZR.. also now that retail phones have jb, maybe we can use the boot img from it for att phones as well..

Porting does not work on the A2. We have NEVER been able to successfully port any ROMS to the A2, but don't let me stop you from trying, if you can get it too boot and all the hardware and a kernel working, more power to you! I gotta say that would be pretty sweet, but since we have figured out the secret of compiling and using our kernel as a base, and compiling open source roms like that, we/you can have any roms you basically want now, with the stock kernel still on the phone.
Yes kexec works, since I helped with kexec. There was a post that I did post about it. We do not have any ROMS that take advantage of it though.
you are the best dude!! Thanks for the ROMs:crying: but hope u change ur decesion

Well guys after a really hard think i have decided to move on from the 3D scene.. No offence to anyone but i am never going to get a LG mobile ever again...
It was great to be here i have learned a lot in the last few months like, ubuntu, java C++, logcat and various other instruments needed to make and develop roms.. It is a shame that Lg did not support this brilliant piece of hardware.. It would of went far..
I am sorry that i couldn't make you guys ICS i really tried i gave up 4 weeks of my life to no avail rofl.. Trust me the hardest phone ever when it comes to making a original source rom. I appreciate what Ricardo and his team does for us..
Any way i am giving my phone away to my brother and and getting my good old desire back. I will wait till i receive my Samsung Galaxy SIII can't wait..
Thank you guys for everything i really appreciate the community we had here will miss you all.. And thanks to everyone who devs all you hard work was a great way for everyone to learn...
Ciao people was nice knowing you all.. All my roms are now discontinued no more development will be done to them..
Well thanks for all you've done!
Was hoping to see a new rom from you based on the 3D max.
See you on the S3 forums!

Fully understand. I am also moving on to the GS3 at the first possible juncture.
I've literally ended up in a shouting rage at this phone at least three times in the last week. I actually depend on it and cannot deal with the inadequacies it has any longer.
I do love the 3d screen and camera but when you cant record even 2d video that doesnt glitch and stop/stutter whats the point?
LG have been a massive dissappointment and i refuse to wait another 6 months for a software update that i am skeptical will solve any problems if it even happens.

I heart from friend of mine, that LG change O3D when people do the complain about GC for LG Prada - does anyone do this?!
That was one case actually. The guy got it back from the warranty with the note that the issue is unrepairable and they suggested to change the phone to the different model. The op gave him the choice to change to the other lg phone. But prada is more expensive, and i doubt operators do it often.
Ahh that sucks meemo, i really luv your roms and work tho... its a shame.
But hey wich new phones besides the GS3 will you be developing on? Then ima get that one gehehe.
Just cant do it without your roms bro!
So I finally have my AT&T Skyrocket and HP Touchpad both on CM9 (played around with AOKP for a second on the phone too) and don't know what took me so long. I'm very thankful for all the help that I've found here on XDA and am looking forward to being able to post in development forums so that I might be able to help any way I can in the future.
Problem is now I'm constantly adjusting and updating/upgrading things...before, it was just the phone; now there's a tablet too!
Congrats! Also, may God have mercy on your soul because all your base are belong to XDA now.
Hah! Yeah...I waited for the longest time hoping that AT&T would get off their asses and release an OTA update for ICS but nooooooo...finally got fed up one day and had a friend help me out. He's pretty involved/into XDA so that was nice to have.
Now I'm constantly on here reading through various threads...can't wait to see how many ways I'll try to customize my Touchpad.
If you mean HP Touchpad, Some devs on here have found a way to dual boot Android on it.

Yep, done! Absolutely loving it thus far...it's nice having my phone and Touchpad on the same ecosystem. Chrome is acting funny on the TP but so far Dolphin's very smooth.
This was my wifes POS Phone till I upgraded her to a SGSIII for Christmas. Now I have a device that would be perfect for my daughter if it weren't for the pesky phone option and Sprint bloatware. Are there any roms available that strip this phone to bare bones with no radios except WiFi? Haven't been able to find any and it might not be on the top of the Dev's todo list so if anyone is up to a ROM that will make this device at least usable because as a phone it SUCKS, but for a kiddo it would be a great toy with some of the game apps. Thanks in advance, and if I missed a ROM that does exactly what I'm asking in the mountains of pages in the Dev forum, please use only a small flame as I'm old and have a cold LOL.
A tip: when asking for help you might want to avoid talking trash about a device we users enjoy using.
My advice, 'the device sucks' and is a 'pos' so why bother doing anything with it. Go buy yourself, your kid or whoever an ipod and move on.

Just hate HTC. Have since the TP2. No appologies for that when they make life just such a pain in the ass. Even cringed when the wife chose it but cest la vie. I'm not going against the boss. Maybe I'm just stupid but I've tried rooting but its a 2.3.4 and every option this thread gives me doesn't work for some reason or another. ShiftRR doesn't run at all saying ADB is at fault but I can ADB into the whole phone myself no problems, ShiftySonOfA almost works but creates a boot loop that thankfully is repaired by doing an --undo, Quickroot seems to work but then unroots the phone just as soon as it reboots. Trying to do it manually using the info on here gives me exactly the same boot loop as the ShiftySonOfA.BAT file does and trying to update from SD using a PG06img.zip I got from a rootkit fails. I can't help it if I'm a Samsung fan. Their goal in life isn't making their users stress out over their phones by daring to think they can do better than they can. If its too much to ask that my RAM isn't more than half full just with OS and bloatware because this phone refuses to root then so be it but even if its miles below my Nexus it's still MILES above any iPoo device.
Then throw it out and go buy a portable media player, or better yet send it to a dev who would put it to use and go buy some type of portable media player.
Edit: and to anyone who actually wants to try and help this guy, does this really seem like a person we need to deal with in our little speedy community in the future?

Hey folks, I've got a chance to buy a 16 gig blue version for $220, without a dock. With all your user experience and knowledge of this device, as well as what's currently on the market, is it worth purchasing?
I guess I'm just a little on the fence since I already have a nexus 7 but have been looking for something with a larger screen and have been trying to decide as to whether I should wait and see what the tegra 4 products will look like in the next few months.
* How far along do you think this product is concerning its life cycle? Meaning, will this hold up for another year or so or be obsolete and not get a klp update?
* Are you happy with it now that you've had it for some time or would you have gotten something different?
Thanks in advance for all your advice and suggestions!!!
Get it :good:
I'm on a custom rom, so it'll last me another while and I can flash whatever I like which gives me freedom. I suggest that you take unlocking/ rooting your device into consideration.
If you are goingt to wait for the newest hardware, you will wait forever: there is always something newer coming up
Thanks for the feedback. You're right about chasing new technology as there's always something newer and better around the corner. So long as there's continued support and development for this, I think i'll jump in for one.
Get it!
I love this bad boy! And for the price it's totally worth it!
Life previous post stated. Custom ROM and kernel. This thing is perfect!

I did get it, thanks to all of your recommendations. I'm pleased so far with it but I definitely want to get my hands dirty with it and really get to flashing and tweaking. I only bought the tablet and it came with the usb/30 pin cable so I do need to get a wall wart for it.

absolutely true, but a thing is to pine for the newest hardware, another thing is to blindly suggest an EOL platform.
tf300 is a sweet tablet but asus is phasing it out, this mean that on one side yo get some nice offers, on other hand you wont get any more official updates (probabily 4.2 but its not sure) and even xda developers will be jumping ship when they'll buy newer stuff in time.
I think that one should get a whole picture before buying it.

Absolutely true, but that is also the case with The Latest The Greatest. As long as there is plenty development (which there is for this platform with blokes as sbdags, surdu_petru & xplowild) one can have some fun for quite some time.
For example: with CM one can enjoy 4.2.2 already now
Just wanted to know if any of the devs would be interested in porting the Ubuntu Touch over to our One XL's.

Would love to see it if anyone knows how to get it ported over.
Thanks in advance to anyone that does!

Hmm... I may just do this. I've got a machine available that could make quick work out of it. Just need to install Ubuntu on it first, that's the challenge. I'll update in a little while.

That would be awesome if you could. I have a computer sitting around, but as I mentioned, know absolutely zero coding. Wish I could help. Let us know if you get a chance and get it working though!
Thanks!

They make it seem pretty simple to get set up so long as you have CM10.1 working for your device, so hopefully that's the case. Ubuntu is installing right now, fingers crossed it doesn't have any issues along the way.

Man this is a great day infobar iida and maybe ubuntu touch
Sent from my Elemental Venomized S-off HTC One XL
Just a heads up, it looks, unsurprisingly, like Ubuntu's servers are getting hammered right now. I'm only getting about 150 KBps from the, though it could also be my sometimes flaky internet connection here too. It's gonna take a little while to pull everything at this speed.

Considering you're trying and know a lot more than many of us on here know with regards to compiling it, the wait will be worth it if you can get it booting!
I would be all over this!
Thanks djsikhbeatsz!!
Just remember it is a developer preview, that is pre pre pre alpha. Lol. I installed it on my nexus 7 last night, many things do not work, but I really like the direction they are heading

Yeah, it sounds like it's barely even able to work as a phone. We'll have to see how quickly they are working on it. Hopefully it'll be actually usable before too long.
Unfortunately, I'm STILL trying to pull the source. I mean, it's ridiculously slow. I'm under 100 KBps now. I was hoping to get something running today because I don't know that I'll have time to work on it over the weekend. We'll have to see.
Update: Yeah, some 5-6 hours later we're STILL downloading. Nothing for today. I'm going to try to get back to it tomorrow or Sunday if I have time. Hopefully by then it will have finished downloading, haha.

Where are you downloading from? Why not go to the Ubuntu site and get the official torrent?
http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads
Try that...it wil definitely be faster

he's most likely talking about pulling the needed repos to build, not an ubuntu distro.

been waiting to clone repo for over 6 hours
freaking SLOW
I grabbed the source yesterday since I knew their servers would be screwed today
For anyone hoping for an easy port btw, look elsewhere, it doesn't seem to be finding our RIL along with a few other stuff.

Jeez Rohan, there's no getting anything past you is there? Lol...you get a headstart on all the greatest roms / ports it seems! Good work though, thank god for ppl like you! Thanks man!
Wow, this dropped all the way to page 4. I didn't even realize this section was that busy, haha. Well, I unfortunately didn't get any time to come in and mess with this over the weekend, but my source pull failed before completing, and now every time I try to start it back up, it just fails again saying the remote end hung up unexpectedly. I'll check back later and see if they get it fixed.
Wait so is there going to a Rom?

At the moment, I've gotten back into a busy cycle at work, and my computer is broken at home (I'm down to an iPad and my phone), so I haven't been able to play with it. Hoping to get my computer up and running as soon as I can get some parts ordered. I can't really be upset, I've been using that system for over 5 years now and it's been running like a damn champ! Goodbye ridiculously old Opteron 165. Maybe one of these other guys might have an interest in getting it running.
