The highlights include removed bloat-ware, some added scripts, and build.prop mods. To install, the instructions are pretty simple: To install need root and… Read more
In a recent DROID X related post by a Motorola Support Forums moderator, several “things to know” have gone live today including some pretty interesting news regarding those of you applying that leaked 2.2 upgrade that hit the web a little over a week ago. “There is currently no upgrade path from that load to the official 2.2 load that will be released… Read more
If you are an A/V hound and own a DROID X, or you watched my video comparing the HDMI abilities of the current flagship Androids, then you know that the DROID X, for which Verizon sells an HDMI cable at $30, had very limited support for the feature, relegating the port to an enticing selling point and not much else. “I can look at my gallery on HDTV via the… Read more

Call me suspicious, but… well just call me suspicious. There is a thread over on the Android Central forums that has a poster asking how to root his DROID X on a Mac… on 2.2. After watching the video, it’s pretty obvious that this is real, it’s just that the question of how still remains. Not everything is working properly, and the build number just… Read more

Then, there was rumors that an update was released for the DROID X. So, I waited for that. Then, life happened.

It’s probably best that I don’t have a Windows box and that I don’t trust a virtual Windows machine when it comes to hacking phones. I have a habit of hacking phones before finishing coverage of stock features.

As many of you likely know, the DROID X is sold out and Best Buy doesn’t know the phones are coming until they’re actually at the dock…or coming out of the bulk boxes.
