I've noticed that Wifi dropping is still an issue for me, but using wifi fixer resolved that like in the previous build. Everything else is gravy!

I would wait and see if moon updates it for rc1 b4 using the old one because it will change ur framework to mashed up rc0(right?).

Damn man...wish I was by my phone more yesterday. Havent got to play with it much and I havent read the forums but I have a funny story on how this happened to me. I think I may have been around one of the first to download this update straight from my phone. (no PC) So my dumbass didnt read the new instructions for installing the update. I went ahead and wiped the big 3, flashed the update, flashed the gapps and flashed the tether patch. (Shouldnt have flashed the tether patch) I rebooted system and it started bootlooping hardcore at the CM logo. I battery pulled and figured, hey I'll just plug it in while its off to get into recovery. Wrong, thats when I personally saw the battery icon. Freaked me out to the point where I went into android recovery (moto's) wiped both data and cache, SBF'd for the second time in 3-4 hours, re-rooted, then flashed only the RC1 and Gapps. Rebooted and everything was good. Installed CM7's recovery and I thought maybe it was a new thing with the update that the icon would show up charging while off and using the app while phone was on would work. So I tested this last night before crashing out. It works both while phone off and on using the app. My mistake for saying it was part of the update. I don't know how you few others were getting that battery icon problem but that was my reason.

Hrmmm... not sure if I checked last night, but all this morning I have been trying to get on wifi and it keeps saying it is disabled. It tries to connect, but to no avail. My wifi is good, I am on there now on this computer. I also tried to re-add my wifi, but nothing. Next I am gonna reboot the router and modem and just see if that does anything. Before the update I had a lot of issues with wifi dropping, until I went in the settings and told it to never sleep. Seemed like everything was good from then on out.
So just wondering if anyone else is having this issue or it there is a setting I am missing or need to change?
So just wondering if anyone else is having this issue or it there is a setting I am missing or need to change?
So Dragonzkiller said this update had all the fixes included. I'm guess this includes the tethering patch? If so, what is that? Is it a built in app or is it just a patch that makes it work because it didnt work before? Last time I was on CM7, I had no use for it and disregarded it. But since then, I bought a TouchPad and would like to see if this has anything that would be useful to me.
Sorry to bother you, but is there a setting for that... or do I need to download something... I know about static IP's but havent seen a setting in my phone to set one up (I am still new to CM7, just got it this past week)
Nevermind... I found it... if anyone else needs to know its: Go to Settings -> Wireless And Networks -> Wifi Settings. Press the menu key, and select "Advanced". Check the "Static IP" box and enter your settings there.

Hrmmm... still not working. Entered my info and hit connect and still says its disabled. Also rebooted my modem and router... Stuck now...
*** another update*** Got it working. Toggled WiFi on and off and it seems to be working... but now I get some "blinking triangle" up there by the wifi in the notification bar. I turned off wifi and my 3g icon never appeared. Oy. I seriously think this will be my last android phone. CM7 has helped my phone tremendously... but Motorola has ruined it for me... I just want a phone that works out of the box...

Restart the phone and the triangle should go away. that happens to me some times. A restart or two takes care of it.

BSR Recovery "FIX" post.
For those who have flashed the CM7DX2-RC1 ROM, please keep in mind that WIPING DATA (factory reset) WIPES OUT THE RECOVERY. There are TWO options. The FIRST is downloading the CM7DX2 BSR Recovery file and installing it after the first boot into CM7DX2-RC1. Once it is installed, you STILL have to launch the APP and hit the Install Recovery button then hit the Recovery Mode button. If you are plugged into wall power, your phone will boot into the BSR recovery. If not, it will just power off.
The second option is to download skwoodwiva's CM&DX2 re-recovery. Once you have flashed CM7DX2-RC1 and Gapps, flash the re-recovery. Then boot as normal. I have used the re-recovery several times and it works very nicely.
For those having WIFI issues, here is my recommendation... I know I'll receive a bunch of flack for it, however, I have had to do this personally. It sucks, however, I have had good results:
1. Download and purchase Titanium Backup (TiBu), if you haven't already.
2. Within TiBu create a group and call it something like User Apps.
3. Add ONLY your user apps (the ones in white, NOT the ones in red or green) to this group. This is what you will restore your apps from.
4. Boot into either the BSR or the stock Android Recovery and perform a Factory Reset. (This step wipes all of your data!!!!)
5. SBF with 2.3.4 (follow my tutorial on SBFing, the link is in my signature).
6. Boot into stock 2.3.4 and ACTIVATE. Don't worry about adding your google account info.
7. Root your phone (see my tutorial on rooting).
8. Install the ORIGINAL BSR (see my tutorial on making a nandroid backup).
9. Boot into the BSR and flash CM7DX2-RC1 and Gapps ONLY!
10. Perform a factory reset through the BSR (wipe data).
11. Wipe Cache and Dalvik-Cache. Find the option to wipe Dalvik-Cache in the Advacned menu in the BSR.
12. Boot into CM7.
13. If your phone needs to activate again, do so now.
14. Associate your google account with your phone.
15. Locate the CM7 System Recovery icon in the app drawer and hit Install Recovery.
16. Hit the Recovery Mode button and wait for your phone to either boot into the BSR OR power off.
17. Either reboot the phone from the BSR or power it on.
18. This SHOULD fix your WIFI issue. I did this when I FIRST installed CM7DX2-RC1. I have not experienced any WIFI issues since then.
Okay, go ahead and flame me now for recommending this long and painful procedure...

Wanted to say congrats to getting an update on CM7. Dragonzkiller is a awesome dev! And I wish him all the best and hopefully everything goes well with him and when he gets some free time again to be able to hook up the DX2 with CM9. You guys deserve it you have been locked down for so long with no support from Motorola or Verizon.
So is the wifi stronger? And when I say stronger I mean not dropping every 20 minutes.

Did either of you read my post about the process to potentially fix the WIFI issue?
Ciao!
Nope. When I opened the thread it went to the last post
Ok that is a long process... But worth doing to get something as important wifi functioning well again.

WIFI was the main reason why I left CM7, time to try this out. I do have a question for anyone who can answer it.
Will the 2nd Core script, Speedy or Mash-Up script work with CM7? Would it be safe to run all of these scripts on this ROM or which one isn't needed?
I cannot get the cm7bsr to boot into bsr. When I open bsr and hit recovery it takes me to the M but won't go any further. I was on CM7 rc0 and updated to this. I tried reinstalling CM7 bsr and that did not work either. How can I fix this? Thanks.
Fixed.... Brain fart

The second core script does work, but is not necessary.
Speedy or Mashup must be retooled for CM7DX2-RC1 as it replaces the build.prop.

How to install CM7 (Cyanogenmod) for the Motorola Droid X2.
Please note that with all ROMs, you have the possibility of bricking your phone. Use caution and ask questions! I, dragonzkiller, am NOT responsible for what you choose to do with or to your phone!
YOU MUST BE ON Gingerbread 2.3.4!!! This is the only version I will support! I have implemented a method to check for what version in the install, so you'll know. If you have ever upgraded to 2.3.5, you must SBF back to 2.3.4 as this check checks the kernel. This is the second BETA release, so that means most of the issues have been fixed, however there may still be problems! Please let me know what problems or issues you run into so I can address/fix them.
Now, onto the good stuff! It MUST be done in this order!
1. NANDROID BACKUP!
2. SBF to 2.3.4 unless you are already there. See MoonShadow-NM's guide: HowTo: Perform a SBF ("factory restore") of your Motorola Droid X2
3. Root your Motorola Droid X2. See MoonShadow-NM's guide: HowTo: Root your Motorola Droid X2 - UPDATED [14DEC2011]
4. Install the Motorola Droid X2 Bootstrap Recovery (BSR). See MoonShadow-NM's guide: HowTo: Perform a bootstrap (or nandroid) backup and recovery of your Droid X2
5. Put the Google Apps zip, the CM7 zip, and my patched BSR apk on your EXTERNAL sdcard.
6. Boot into BootStrap Recovery. (You should know how to do this... See item number 4 above as a reference.)
7. Install the CM7 zip.
8. THEN the Google Apps Zip.
10. IMPORTANT! Wipe data and cache (factory reset) and wipe dalvik cache!
11. Boot your phone into CM7. (You will probably have to activate if you didn't after you SBF'd and setup your Google account here.)
12. Install the patched Motorola Droid X2 Bootstrap Recovery (BSR). (This can be found in the download section of this post. Once you have CM7DX2 installed, you MUST install this BSR!)
13. Go into the Superuser app and update the su binary.
14. Go into the Android Market and update the apps on the phone. Keep in mind that once you update the Superuser app, you cannot update the su binary. (Looking into this, however, it might be a Superuser issue and not a CM7 issue.)
15. Sit back and enjoy CM7 on your DX2!
16. Never user RomManager! (Yes it's included, but that's a CM7 thing and won't work with the DX2.)
17. NEVER DELETE ANYTHING FROM PREINSTALL! The hijack requires files in there that are installed with the BSR. I don't know why any non-dev would be messing with those files anyway.
NOTE: If you get a hang on the M after the Google Apps Zip is flashed you didn't follow these steps. But you DON'T have to SBF! Try getting into stock recovery by having the phone off, pressing the Vol Down and Power Buttons until the "Fastboot" appears on your screen, scroll DOWN until you see the "Android Recovery" and press Vol Up. You will then see an android with an exclamation point. Press BOTH volume buttons and scroll down to "Wipe Data." Press the power button to select it and scroll down to "Yes" and select that. Then reboot and WAIT! The initial boot takes the longest. If this still doesn't work, THEN SBF and follow the directions above EXACTLY.
Using the Patched Bootstrap Recovery With CM7DX2
In order to get into recovery with CM7DX2 you ABSOLUTELY MUST download the patched BSR APK located in the download section of this post! There was a problem with the "hijack" name. It is conflicting with the CM7 hijack. NEVER install the original BSR while in CM7DX2! This is a guaranteed way to boot loop your phone! It might not boot loop the first couple of reboots, but it will... Eventually!
FIXED ISSUES!
init no longer hogs 100% of a core
Bluetooth WORKS!
DSP Manager WORKS!
Torch (flashlight) WORKS!
Google Voice WORKS!
Dock Settings Re-Added
Battery Fix (battery files from 2.3.3)
Both SD Cards work
WIFI and USB Tethering WORKS!
WIFI sleep issue MIGHT be fixed in Beta 2

Known Issues!
WIFI might still have some sleep issues. If this is the case, I'll look into it later.
Currently Disabled Features (Because we don't support them)
Reboot Recovery
Reboot Bootloader
HDMI - There is no native code for HDMI in CM7, so this probably won't be fixed.
FM Radio - For now. Might be a fix later.
This post will be updated as time goes on.

Kill this already before a moderator does! Just sit back relax and wait for beta. I know every one is all pumped up but "can't we all get along" please no more on this. Even now I am adding to the cludder. Go watch dragonzkiller twitter and wait[COLOR="Silver10hey moonshadow, are you actually testing dragonz cm9? just wanna know how progress is going since hes been pretty quite on twitter
I was testing the first pre-alpha build. That was before DZK's classes became a bear. Since then (about 2 months ago roughly), he is concentrating on his classes. As soon as things lighten up for him (read: probably summer break) he will probably pick things back up. I talked with him last night and he is still committed to CM7DX2 and CM9DX2. Something else that will help, I have a new laptop (Linux) that I can begin helping him out (as much as I can with my limited knowledge). All we are asking is patience. We both understand that everyone with a DX2 wants the rebase of CM7 and the release of CM9. With CM9 though, there are going to be some major hurdles that will have to be overcome since CM9 is a complete code re-write and the fact that CM9 is based on ICS AOSP. ICS does things much differently than Gingerbread.
For those who are new to the DX2 community, welcome! Also, when DZK went to work on CM7, he had the Alpha build out in roughly a week and the stable RC release about 3 days after that. He is a committed DX2 developer and wants to provide a smooth, working, and as close to flawless, CM9 ROM as possible.
For those that are chomping at the bit for CM9, think about this. Would you rather have CM9 in a pre-alpha state that DOESN'T work and just looks pretty, or would you rather have CM9 in a WORKING state? Personally, I would rather have CM9 in a working state.
The pre-alpha that I was testing had MANY problems. During the time that he did put into it, before school became a bear, he was able to address a good number of the items on the "does not work" punch list.
For everyone in the DX2 community, thank you for your support and understanding.

Make sure it is NOT installed to run off the SDcard. It puts those files into a "file system folder". Essentially, it's a pseudo partition contained within a file. You should be able to use the CM7 Application Manager to move it from the SDcard and back to /data. Hope that helps.

Don't use task managers with CM7. There is a built in feature that allows you to purge assets to free up space. Also, task managers on Gingerbread and newer do not work. They kill the task alright, however, the Android OS will RESPAWN the task. This is a FEATURE that was build into Gingerbread to allow Android to manage the memory within the device and it works VERY well. I have a BOATLOAD of stuff running on my phone and I NEVER have less than 45MB free memory.
To configure the built in asset manager within CM7, do this: Menu -> Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> Performance and check Allow purging of assets.
Ciao!
