Droid Forum Support... - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This may not be the right topic to post in.. however, I was looking through all of XDA and I didn't see a list / sub category for the Motorola Droid (its not the Eris version)
Does anyone know of a forum that is heavily used as this one is?
My girlfriend picked one up so I'm trying to help her tweak it and root.

Not many forums out there that are heavily based on droid alone(of my intelligence of course)... Try this guide http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f60/root-your-droid-32749/#post299661 btw giving a non-tech savvy person root, not a good idea .

Since there isn't a Q&A section for the Droid - ROMS?

I take it the Droid suffers from the same "signed bootloader" that the Milestone does?
Nope. That's one reason people are so upset about the Milestone situation—Motorola released the Droid with an unlocked bootloader, then turned around and locked things down on the Milestone.
Then why aren't there any ROMs in here? I see reference to roms like Bugless Beast but this development area is rather empty.
Mostly because the Droid/Milestone section here is brand new (2-3 weeks old), and most developers had found a "home" forum long before XDA added a Motorola section. A lot of people still don't even know there's a Droid section here.
You can get more info on Droid ROMs at places like Android Forums, Droid Forums, and AllDroid, where most devs have set up shop.
I used to come here all the time when I had a G1. I upgraded to a Droid and was disappointed that I couldn't come here for all the latest droid info. I just today figured I would come back and see if Froyo was up for the G1. HOLY COW there is a Droid forum on XDA!!! I can't believe I didn't hear about this earlier from one of the many android sites I visit.
I completely agree! This forum was INVALUABLE to me when I was using a G1 or my 32a Magic, but when I got the droid I had to suck it up and find other places to go.
Truth be told, there's a lot of immatureity in newer forums, but they got the job done.
Hopefully, some of the info will dribble back here, for everyone's sake, but wish me luck, I'm about to test out a generic froyo build for droid. Here's hoping it works!

New to DX? LOOK HERE FIRST / Help Build DX WIKI Together

EDIT: 09/09/2010
The Wiki is comming along nicely, a thank you is in order to everyone who contributed. Of course it can always be improved, as such I am keeping the original post below. While we still don't have a great following for the DX on XDA we at least have a nice and organized page in which you can find links to the major breakthroughs and how-to's. If you are new to the DX and are looking for a place to begin, thanks to the fine people on this forum the XDA Droid X WIKI (Found Here) is a great place to begin
As new things are discovered for the Droid X we encourage you to add them to the Droid X WIKI, it can always be removed later if need be. It is a great start however. Thank You all, and good work.
From Sleuth255: Just a quick (slightly off topic) note to also say that XDA mods are here to help. The basis of XDA-developers is after all, development, and it is within device specific development forums such as this that all the magic happens. So here is my promise to all Droid X/Android XDA developers using the facilities of this forum: If you need help keeping a development thread "on topic", PM me and I'll place XDA's cosmic moderating powers at your disposal. Obviously, there's give and take here; we're a community based on idea sharing after all, but the point remains: Let's work together to make the Dx something truly amazing.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have more reading to do so I can further acquire "mad Dx/Android skills" without having to resort to noob tactics.
Original Post:
So I have just come from my Droid Incredible... Yesterday as a matter of fact... And could not help but notice the complete lack of organization of all significant breakthroughs for the Droid X. As well as a lack of anything at all in the WIKI.
It actual made me miss the XDA Droid Incredible forum, which was a joke in comparison to the XDA Droid (original) forum... Point being it doesn't say a lot for our Droid X Forum...
SO! I figured I would put out a request to get this forum a bit more organized, even if that means doing so through the XDA Droid X wiki. At least here we can place links to the most significant breakthroughs, etc. I will start working on it myself as soon as I locate some of the more important breakthroughs, such as root, bootloader, Froyo upgrade and downgrade, and any others.
Find the Droid X WIKI Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:Motorola_Droid_X.png
I invite everyone to help, after all not everyone was reading the forum from the start, and just for kicks some time, try searching "root" on any of these forums, you might as well just start scrolling through the pages without searching, because you'll get about the same number of results...
EDIT: So I have decided it is not the lack of effort for this forum as much as the number of occupants. Even the Droid Incredible Development forum (which is considered to be a phone lacking development backing) is being viewed by around 200 people at the moment of writing this. Ours (DX Development) currently only has 20 occupants... I have yet to see a phone in which XDA was not the main forum used for communication, perhaps this is the first?...

You are correct.. I am sad as well coming from the HTC touch where the XDA following was huge...
There isn't so much love for the X here on XDA and you are not alone in hoping it changes!
I'll help out when I get back in town tonight. This place is not user friendly.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
**EDIT** - I just updated it with some standard info... more will come soon.
BUMP!!!
This thread needs to be stickied!!!
Yeah I agree... Seems like a popular enough phone, apparently not with the devs though. So, I have decided to go ahead and start building my own rom. My first theme is almost done too...
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Ill give a helping hand...
I agree, with everyone who has posted so far. I'm bummed that there aren't people flooding these X forums... I'm not great at development or anything, but have done a decent amount of information compiling for the Wiki at the server lab I manage, and would be willing to help contribute in any way I can!
Agreed.
I usually lurk around in XDA, but it is the first place I check out DX info.
I'll help with whatever I can.
NOOB would love to help
Although I am not new to XDA forums, ( I owe my sanity to you guys for getting me through some of the hairy spots in the WinMo days), I am totally new to Android. I started with the HTC Aria, then got tired of AT&T's BS, so I went to Verizon (where I now have 3G in my home!!). I started there with the Droid 2 but I wanted a better screen and the extra memory so I just picked up my Droid X (after waiting 3 weeks) today. I'm excited, but I know that there are deficiencies - such as no update yet for the DX.
I don't know what I can do to help, but I've always learned that the best way to get acquainted with something is to sometimes just dive in with both feet. I'm just a lowly System Admin Manager for an IT company. DROID X excites me and we truly do need to bring in whatever is needed to get our membership to a level that's worthy of Moto's 'flagship' phone.
Just let me know what I can do to help and I'm there - as I said, I owe you guys big time.
Maraming salamat (many thanks),
Miguel
Now that this is stickied... you should change the title and first post to something along the lines of: "Look Here First" "New to the Droid X" "Noob ALERT!!"
Lol, ok.. maybe not the last one but something similar. Then edit the first post to something explaining the wiki or just the link.
It will help out on confusion in the threads and open ppl eyes to things that are going on and getting lost in the shuffle.
The biggest issue I have seen, is that XDA is an HTC forum, and the Devs dont mess with the Motorolla devices. Other forums have devs that work on the DX and that is where the traffic is. P3Droid, Koush and Birdman have completed the most significant breakthroughs, and they are not a part of this forum. I wish this place had more of a DX following too...for now, I stick with MDW.
Well I just recieved my DX yesterday. Thanks to this great wiki and the people behind it, I was able to root and do some modifying with in the first hour of having my phone, and I didn't have to tear through the forums. Thanks for all of the effort and keep up the good work.

I like MDW alot as well, man, but I DO notice that a good number of posts there will link back to something here in the DX forum on XDA. So, it seems that the higher ups at MDW do at least lurk or contribute here as well.

nice!
after 2 months, I still want to keep my 2.1 OS (in case I want to start some coding on it & 2.1 is a safe version to test on). But I will definitely upgrade to official 2.2 OTA.
btw, is there a list of reasons in the wiki to root & upgrade to 2.2?
Hi! Thanks for getting this wiki and DX forum organized, CaptainTaco and all! I'm relatively new to Android, the DX, and rooting, and all that entails, and was looking for a place to start... and here I am! Have been hearing about XDA for a while, and look forward to learning and contributing as I can!

Welcome aboard. Just make sure you read everything you can before asking a question. I usually ask Google first before I post in a thread. You can also use the hand search feature at the top of the forum.
I say this cause ppl can get pretty heated for threads started asking questions or posting information that has already been answered or giving.
You can always pm me or hit me up on gtalk. A lot of ppl do and I enjoy turning the light bulb on for ppl lol
I've been lurking since I got my new phone, glad to be here. I'm rooted on 2.2 OTA and have learned some about the signed boot loader and latest updates via lurking and searching different forums each day. The wiki looks very complete as far as I can tell, great job!
Thanks for all the work on the Wiki. Great stuff!
I'm coming up to speed on Android/DX now. Very cool platform. I'll be helping more/developing for the Dx soon.
I may not post here much but I try to pay attention and read as often as I can.
P3droid is also a member here as jimmydafish.
Motorola devices will always be second class citizens on this forum...just the way it is.

Droid 4 forum?

Just do a search for "Is it rooted yet?" and "Will our bootloader ever be unlocked???" and it should take you right to the forum.
I just picked one up.
I really don't feel at home here in "General Discussion" begging for root access, and thus strongly support the creation of a forum as well. I need to be amongst my people, so that we can all be upset together about not having root access to our day old phones yet. I really need an avenue to start a new thread with a title like "How long do you think it will take?" or "Why don't 2.3.5 exploits work on 2.3.6?"
In the meantime, I think I'm going to duct tape this thing to the back of my Galaxy Nexus and create the ultimate QWERTY slider phone.
(In all seriousness, +1 on a Droid4 forum )
You know there's going to be one eventually, just be patient.
Going from the original droid to this is incredible. Well worth the wait!! Completely different phone and I love it! Eagerly awaiting a nice present in the form of a Droid 4 forum
In the meanwhile, you could go to droidforums

I was wondering if you mind to search before posting.....

[Q] Shouldn't the Razr i have it's own forum?

This is it. Given that both devices are internally differnet, no rom or custom development would ever work on both and there's not even carrier compatibility. Given that devices like the SGS III has different forums for carriers, I believe that the Razr i should at least have it's own forum. What do you think?
Like I said in another thread, I agree. I'd like to see this happen.

Agree. Own forum or at least a sub forum here.
-Sent from my Razr i on AT&T.-
Agreed. The processor is really different from the Razr M so the I should have it's own subforum.
Gets my vote too. Had my Razr i since mid week and I'm really liking it. What I really like is I never lose signal compared to my previous HTC One phones. Battery life rocks too. Great phone but it needs its own forum. We'll still visit the M forum
Sent from my XT890 using xda premium
Yep,
Another subforum would make sense like good old days of G3/G4 wizards (anyone remember these?)
It definatly need its own subforum for development, accesories not so much. they are different models but only in the inside.
It just baffles me that the the galaxy s3 gets full forums just for different carriers and yet the razr i still hasn't gotten a forum. It is a released phone after all, and I'm pretty sure it'll become available in non-LTE markets like South America and many contries accross europe.
Any reason it's not showing up in the Find Your Device search thing?
Yes!
I agree. I'd like to see this happen

[Q] Why is Moto Maxx discussion here?

I don't mean to be rude, but why is there Moto Maxx discussion here? I understand that these phones are nearly identical, but seeing as the thing that makes the Droid Turbo it's own device is that it is stuck inside the constraints of Verizon, I really don't want to come to this forum and see it blowing up with threads about the Moto Maxx and all of the updates and whatnot they are getting in Brazil. If I sound bitter.. I am a bit. You go to a device specific forum to not see things that irrelevant for your device.
TL;DR: Please don't talk about Moto Maxx things in this forum, it's a Droid Turbo Forum. Moderators, please enforce this.
Thanks.

While you are correct and I should have looked a little harder for that discussion, I would much rather blow up this forum wit multiple threads regarding this topic, than have this forum cluttered with discussion which is ultimately useless to members with the actual "Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo", the titular device of this forum.
Search next time.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3032371
I post here because I thought this was the Moto Maxx forum and they misnamed it Droid Turbo on accident. I was just looking at my Moto Maxx by the way and was thinking "damn, that's one mighty fine device" right before I read this post.
In seriousness you might want to read one of the several threads where this has been hashed out at length. A few key takeaways from that are... while not ideal there are reasons why separating these forums would be detrimental to both device owner groups... this had already been posted both on the official thread where it was seconded a number of times along with the threads started here meaning the moderators and administration of this forum have already seen this complaint and chosen not to act on it either in creating a new separate forum or in stopping Maxx owners posting here.
I would suggest putting your vote in on the previous thread on this as well as visiting the official forum suggestion thread and seconding the request there. Who knows make the wheel squeaky enough and maybe you will hit paydirt.
Because Moto maxx int version of turbo, i think this forum need be re-named or maxx have new área
And then there's the U.S. XT1250 Moto Maxx, which is identical to the Droid Turbo XT1254 (same FCC ID number), works on Verizon and has unlockable boot loader. It's basically the "Developer Edition" of the Droid Turbo.
If any development comes which will benefit the Quark XT1254 (Droid Turbo), it's going to come from the Quark XT1250 (U.S. Moto Maxx) or the Quark XT1225 (international Moto Maxx).
The Droid Turbo XT1254 is just Verizon's locked down XT1250 Moto Maxx.

So what?
There are many phones with carrier versions and yet, they at the very least have their own sub forums. This is due to laxness on XDA's part and has nothing to do with FCC numbers or similarities.

None of the other forums are structured that way...
Not true, there are several. The latest one I was on was the Find 7a forum which later had the Find 7 added to it making 4 total variants under the same roof since they each had both a Chinese and an international variant. Those handsets had more differences than these do. It isn't a big deal there and it isn't a big deal here. Frankly without the contributions of the entire group that forum would be dead making it ideal for no one. Which pretty much sums up the future of this one as well were it to be divided.
I'm not calling any of you out in particular but right now your "lets kick those pesky Maxx dudes out" thought lhas little logical substance. So far the only reason anyone has come up with for separating it is a segment of one ownership group who feels like they shouldn't have to actually think before clicking a thread. Yes, I'm saying it is obvious by looking at most thread titles whether that thread pertains to a particular device or not. It isn't like anyone would have a bunch of wasted clicks. Further anyone that cares to bother can read the previous threads to see how easy it is to mark thread titles by device if it pertains to only one variant.
Honestly gents, what is your preference, have your own dead forum which you wont bother visiting because to do so would be pointless or dropping the "waaa" line of reasoning and going with what isn't perfect but better than nothing?

None of those variants were named by their internal name (like quark), so no they were not. It's not about kicking people out, its about logical organization and right now this forum is a catchall.

For over two years now, the Razr HD has had only one development forum for two variants,
XT926, which is the CDMA/Verizon variant, and XT925 , that is the GSM/international version.
The situation is very similar, if not identical than what we have here now with the Turbo/Maxx. The internals are almost exactly the same, save for radio.
Not saying it is ideal, but it has worked so far.

Thats it? You're going to go with "internal names"? lol I have already seen you're incapable of admitting you're wrong and the reason I posted wasn't for your benefit, it was for others that might not be aware that there are reasons why it would be a bad idea. What weighs most important in their mind is up to them and I can respect their opinions just as I respect yours although I think it is short sighted, and poorly thought out.
You are BTW wrong about it being simply a matter of laziness, you used lax but I think I understanding on what you meant? The truth is they cannot administer, monitor, and moderate an unlimited number of forum sections and there can not be one section for every possible device. Go ahead and read up on why that is in the forum faqs as I am thinking you would rather read it from the horses mouth. This is why some devices get no forum at all and there are several that are multiple device combined forums. I've been on two since I've been here myself and another fellow just mentioned one he had been on. They exist and have existed no matter how much you don't want to admit it.
Again, I would suggest you go to the appropriate area up above and second the nomination to separate these devices by whatever means you see fit. I would also suggest you go to the Find 7 section and take a look at just how slow it is despite having the devices combined. While you do so keep in mind that they are less than one year from introduction and started out with developers on board up front and far more posters contributing in the beginning on a stellar device. Note that they added a separate development threads within the section so that people could go directly to their own device development where it was not generic between all of them. Note that people were encouraged to add the device to the thread title when the subject was device specific so that people could quickly skim through it looking for information that is of interest to them.
Split this up and this section dies sooner rather than whatever later ends up being if you keep them together. Maybe you care, maybe you don't. I do care because a perfect forum with no information has less value than an imperfect one that people are contributing in.
I was by the way on the other side last time. The new guys joined us and while I didn't like the arrangement it was better than nothing. There was also less complaining for reasons that I don't know but I am curious as to why this comes up over and over here but was hardly a blip there. Maybe it is the type of people. More US influence here obviously while that one is quite international in nature.

More US influence here obviously while that one is quite international in nature.

Incapable of admitting I am wrong? Of what? Quite the immature comment. Is this some sort of childish competition for you?
No phone here is referred to by internal name. In no situation will it make things clear. In no situation will someone less tech savvy end up in the right forum. I cannot tell you how many times I've seen bricks due to people flashing the wrong firmware for the wrong device. I have my PM inbox on this forum and several others where over the years people have bricked their devices with the wrong firmware and I happened to have a leak that would put them back on the right version. The ONLY reason it hasn't happened in here is that the Turbo is still locked down. If it ever is freed, we will see bricks here unless Maxx users get their own forums, mark my words. Why, you may ask? Well I am glad you did. Because its unlikely we will get a full firmware leak to restore from.
I am wrong about it being laziness? Yes I originally said laxness, for lack of a word to explain their lack of caring, rather than being lazy, LOL.

All full forum sets. I can find other examples. Stop huffing and puffing because you think we want Maxx users kicked out. No, I rather the information be separated for logical reasons. It has nothing to do with your ego, nor mine.

No it isn't.
This device sells as well as Nexus devices, easily.
Samsung Galaxy S 4 i9500, i9505, i9505G, i9506 if they want to compact it a bit, they could have. Each one has its own developer forum. Same with Nexus devices.
There is no excuse for it. The only other device treated this way is the HTC One M8 for Windows.
