Is nandroid a really long abbreviation for something? I never thought to ask this question until now.

If your flashing it yes wipe data/cache/dalvik. If your restoring a nandroid then you don't need to wipe anything. Also nandroid is a combination of nand memory and android I beleave.

Derp, I just read about nand memory a few days ago! How did I not make the connection!

A NANDROID backup is a complete backup of everything on your system. To do this reboot into Recovery (assuming you know how) go to backup and restore/backup/external SD/yes. It will take approximately 10 minutes to finish. When it's done reboot and the backup file can be found via root browser under /mnt/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup. You can rename it so you know specifically which file it is, just DO NOT ADD SPACES or it WILL ruin the backup file leaving you UNABLE to restore it.
Flashing CM9 via recovery you will need to wipe data/cache afterwards. If you switch from 9/7 like me all you need to do is restore the desired backup. Restoring a NANDROID backup restores literally everything the way it was. Texts in your inbox, call logs, search histories, etc
Edit: oh you asked WHY is it called nandroid backup. Oops lol. Well he answered it^ hahaha sorry

This does nothing to battery charging. I'd post the link but not at my computer. A quick Google search would probably find it.

blackangel104 think of NANDROID as Image Back/System Restore point on a Windows base P.C
When you make this Image backup it pretty much copies everything from the Android OS and stores it on the SD card. This way you can always return to that point whenever you like.
So when restoring a NANDROID their is so need to wipe anything since it'll be putting all the cache/data from that image. You'd only want/need to wipe stuff when you want a fresh install of a rom~
No, but it improves the battery sensors' reading of the actual charge of the battery. That way the system accurately represents the charge level of the battery, allowing it to be used fully.
Whenever you flash between ROM's, it is always a good idea to wipe the battery stats as stale data never works nice with new data (with some exceptions, but doing it anyway is a good habit to get into).
I'm having similar battery life to cm7 maybe a little worse. Do you guys have any background apps running that may be causing this?

For me, I've only got 2 issues, camera and chrome (I installed over CM7). Chrome works well enough for me to use it to import my true bookmarks and move them along to other apps and widgets. But I have data, 3G, mms and zero crashes (I turned off display rotate right off the bat) since installing yesterday. I threw on Apex Launcher, and so far it's the smoothest my X2 has ever run.

Thanks for clearing that up for him!

No I don't have too many apps in the background on CM9. Somewhere in system settings I limited my background processes to I think 2. Not sure what "Default" was, so I said two should be enough. That and I didn't restore too many random apps on CM9. Mostly just the essentials, no games etc. Overall battery is nice. Was playing with my phone for a few hours last night until I fell asleep with it
around roughly 70% battery life. Woke up hours later and it's at 50% still. Sent from my stupid smartphone

ok, MMS with pictures is not working as well. When I hit download it just keeps saying downloading...
I've noticed that when I go into the power menu, the Sleep function is gone. Is it somewhere else now?

Yeah lol sleep mode wasn't even on cm7 @ the other Guy not dzk

probably a noob question...but here goes...why is it that we have to reboot with the AC adapter connected in order to get into recovery?? I came from a Vibrant and that could be booted into recovery with the volume and power keys...

I'm assuming your bootloader on that device was unlocked?? Our bootloader is locked so we can't flash non official files from the stock recovery. We need to install a custom signed/patched bootstrap recovery. The reason you need a/c power is because it actually "hijacks" charge mode and needs to in order to start.

That's a known issue since this was released. Its in the op.
On another note I feel lucky I've been running this the whole time and no random reboots or anything crazy.

117DRAGONZKILLER PROUDLY PRESENTS:
CyanogenMod 9.0.0-DROIDX2-BETA1
UPGRADING FROM ALPHA 4 OR LOWER REQUIRES A DATA WIPE!!!
Features:
For a list of features added to ICS please go to the Android website: http://www.android.com/about/ice-cream-sandwich/
Also any of the CyanogenMod features you know and love from CM7 are in here too plus a few extras
Also, as this is beta, pretty much everything is working but a few things are not. The stability of the ROM is so-so at times. Unfortunately I can't do much about it.
Working:
- MMS is working!
- Added dock settings (not sure if it works yet)
- Added Mashup to build by default (thanks to Balltounge for the props)
- Camera (see known issues for details)
- Data Usage (optional for ALPHA 4 ONLY, not on by default, see section below)
- WIFI **NEW FOR MX2!!! SEE PATCH BELOW***
- Bluetooth
- Data/3G
- Tethering (see known issues)
- HQ and LQ Youtube (used to be a problem)
- And a lot of little things
Known Issues:
Besides a whole lot more of a lot of little things:
- Graphics memory sometimes runs out: as we are on less RAM the memory management is a bit whack. Sometimes while rotating an app (noticeably the browser) it will "twitch" and crash. Also systemserver (the main background service) will crash and Android will restart (rarely).
- Chrome beta doesn't work: it also requires kernel mods which I haven't messed with yet.
- NOTE ABOUT CAMERA: Camera works where as camcorder doesn't. All of the features of the camera section work though.
- USB Tethering doesn't work: This is an issue on all MotoTegra devices right now I believe.
Installation:
This can be installed over CM7/CM9 or BLUR but you MUST wipe data and cache if on a build of CM9 before Alpha 5. Also do NOT (I repeat) do NOT use TiBu to backup data from CM7/BLUR. I don't want to hear about how that doesn't work.
- READ THE ENTIRE POST
- Download the links provided below
- Install the BSR (patched if on CM7/CM9)
- Reboot into the BSR
- NANDROID <--- you'll probably want to go back to this
- Install the CM9 zip from the SD Card MX2 Users Go to the MX2 Thread for the Patched CM9 zip once it has been updated to Beta 1
- MX2 ONLY! Install the WiFi Driver zip from the SD Card
- Install the GAPPS from the SD Card
- Wipe both DATA and CACHE (no need to wipe Dalvik if you wipe both of these)
- Reboot your phone
- Enjoy CM9 Beta 1
Data Usage:
Data usage works with Alpha 4 to some extent. It will start to monitor your data usage through your 3G radio. What it doesn't do yet is monitor WiFi usage, allow you to reset your usage, track which apps are using data, and allow data warnings/cutoffs. Seems like a lot that doesn't work, but baby steps. A problem however occurs whenever Android crashes. If it does, the boot logo will show and eventually will completely crash the phone and restart. This is an issue with the kernel mods causing a panic when already installed and trying to get a 3G connection. As of now I don't know how to fix this and as such I'm having the download separate.
This requires adb or root explorer to use and needs to overwrite the file of the same name in /system/etc.
Downloads:
Also, if you would like (but not needed) to donate, see the donate button by my name. Gas/food money goes a long way
REQUIRED (even if updating) Google Apps (GAPPS): http://goo-inside.me/google-apps. Download the latest version of them for here and check the MD5 sums from there also.
WIPE DATA/CACHE IF UPDATING FROM ALPHA 4 OR LOWER!
CyanogenMod 9-20120814-Daytona Beta1: http://d-h.st/q7B
As before with Alpha 5, Beta 1 is still mostly stable, but will benefit greatly with the use of V6 Supercharger.

Alpha 1:
First boot into ICS/CM92221Alpha 5 released! You MUST wipe data and cache even if updating from a previous version of CM9! Enjoy!19Okay, folks, I have notice a number of issues and I hope to straighten most of them out... Here we go...
At this time, no camera app will work on CM9DX2 until DZK is able to backport the specific libraries for the camera. The biggest hurdle here is our device is a Tegra2 processor and requires those libs to be backported to run on our 2.3.4 kernel. Remember, the DX2 running CM9 is NOT running an ICS (4.0+) kernel. It is running on the original Gingerbread 2.3.4 kernel.
Just rebooted my phone. All apps AND data restored from Titanium Backup WORKS. Caused 0 issues so far. Still running as smooth as when I flashed. If you notice under Backup/Restore.... there are colored smiley faces on the right side of each apps name. If you restore an app or data with a YELLOW face the operation will complete successfully. If you try one with a red face it will fail. Running the batch operation tries to restore ALL. Both yellow and red which is what I believe causes the restore operation to fail.
For example I did a batch operation for all apps. The first app it said it was restoring was XDA(yellow) and the next piece it tried to install was an app with a red face, causing the restore process to fail. Even after failed batch, XDA was restored. It's the incompatible apps that force the batch to fail as far as I can tell, so you have to manually dig through TiBU to restore apps and data with yellow smileys. This method worked flawlessly for restoring my applications and their data.
Can someone else please try this so we can confirm it for sure?
Edit: Only tried restoring apps with red Smiley faces via batch. I did not try to restore them individually and I recommend you do not try either. Only stick to restoring compatible apps.
PSA edit: I am not responsible if you mess your phone up after taking any advice or suggestions I give. This is an alpha release so we're all pretty much testers anyways. Let's figure out everything we can so they can provide us with fixes and updates. Worst comes to worst you can just SBF again.

Okay, as for TiBu (Titanium Backup), here is the deal... I use TiBu successfully... HOWEVER, you must use Filter Groups. I recommend putting ONLY critical apps that you have DOWNLOADED to the phone in a Filter Group. Call it My_Apps (or something like that). Next, you can use that Filter Group to backup both the app and the data. When you backup the app on your previous ROM, you can backup everything, including system apps, however, on the NEW ROM (CM9DX2), you must only restore the data for CRITICAL apps that you have downloaded. So, download the app from the market, then restore DATA ONLY! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RESTORE SYSTEM ITEM SUCH AS CONTACTS! Any item in the list that is either RED or GREEN YOU MUST NOT RESTORE EITHER THE APP OR DATA for these apps. White colored apps SHOULD BE OKAY to restore data. Questions, please PM me and I will write up a tutorial on how to use TiBu to backup and restore your CRITICAL apps and data.
No camera will work on CM9DX2 UNTIL DZK gets the native camera app to work. (See above.) As for Netflix, the issue is most likely with the "video driver".
You are correct, and not imagining things. The WIFI lib for CM9 is better and more stable than the one for CM7. DO NOT USE MY WIFI FIX FOR CM9DX2!
The problem is not data, but the "Data Usage App" in CM9. It does not report usage correctly.
DO NOT TRY TO INSTALL THE ORIGINAL BSR WHEN ON CM9DX2!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 USE THE PATCHED CM7 BSR!!!!!!!!!!!! Your phone WILL fail to boot if you use the original BSR on CM9DX2!
Droidwall will need to be updated for ICS... The file structure on ICS is a little bit different than Gingerbread. Contact the developer of Droidwall and see if you can get him to fix the issue.
Wireless and USB tethering DOES NOT APPEAR TO WORK. I was able to get Wireless tether to work ONE TIME when I was testing the pre-release Alpha.
To get ADB to work, unfortunately, you must be plugged into the computer at BOOT. (Phone boot, that is...)
I hate to say this, but the best way to fix most wonky problem is the following:
1. SBF to 2.3.4
2. Wipe data, and cache.
3. Boot and cringe when the stock Blur comes up.
4. Activate but don't worry about adding your Google account info.
5. Root with zergRUSH.
6. Install the ORIGINAL BSR.
7. Boot into the original BSR.
8. Flash CM9DX2-Alpha.
9. Flash gapps from the OP.
10. Do this in the following order (in case the BSR hoses up): wipe dalvik-cache, then wipe cache, then lastly wipe data.
11. Boot CM9DX2. This boot will take a LONG time. During which it MY look like it boot loops. Within 7-10 minutes, you should come up to the "Updating Android" screen.
12. Activate if necessary.
13. Add your Google account information.
14. Install the CM7 Modified BSR.
15. Enjoy CM9DX2!
Hope this helps.
See my reply just above here.
I'm assuming you installed the BSR and then tapped the "Recovery Mode" button and you are plugged into the wall charger.
Please see my above posts...
I hope this helps most of y'all. I will try to stay current on this thread, but with a new job, it might be a little difficult.
Ciao!18
